In the present crisis, it is equally import- ant that every effort be made by the farmer, the fruit grower and all others who grow crops 'to realize the importance of protecting grain, fruit, vegetables and other con-. =edit -les, from damage by insect pests, observes the Dominion Ento. urologist.

WHEN. IS A "TENANT" Many people who have been acc- ustomed to regard themselves as ten- ants" within the meaning of the statute ]relating to municipal elect- ions, may find themselves without the right to vote at future elections as the Legislature has adopted an amendment to the assessment act which makes a new definition of "tenant" and alters the status of many people enjoying that position under the law, • says The Brockville Recorder -Times. A tenant is na longer under the Assessment Act anyone who pays rent for the quarters occupied by himself or his family. Instead, it is provided that he must live in a domestic establishment of two or more rooms in which the. occupants usually sleep andprepare and serve the meals." This means that the legal tenant of the future must not only sleep in his own quarters but must eat there There are numerous eases in which single persons, either individ- ually or in groups, occupy rooms and cook their own meals in them. They will gain the franchise. Similarly there are many couples sub -letting rooms from their parents who will lose the same right because they take their meals with the old people. The altered definition of a tenant will make considerable differences in future voters' lists prepared for municipal use, and it should be borne in mind liy people who wondered why their names do not 'appear on these lists. - Milverton Sun is it in times of war when it is most essential„ particularly as we are perhaps fighting for our very exist- ence, that nothing be wasted?

The alkalis used are soda for hard soap, and potash for soft soap. The fats and oils used in soap' making are ob- tained chiefly . from tallow (beef or mutton) lard, and fish oil, and from palm, olive, cocoanut and other veg- etable oils. In the early days soapmaking was the housewife's job. When soap was made at :hone, alkali was obtained by washing the ashes of woad fires to get potassium salts from them For; fat boiled down scraps of meat fat in "cracklings" (the part of hog fat that is left after the lard has been removed,) were used. The fat and the alkali, were mixed in a kettle and boiled- until they saponfied, or turned to soap. These ingredients made soft soap. To make the soap hard, the finished Soap was ' treated with sodium, Housewives also made hard .!soap directly by using ]ye 'with their cracklings, insteadpotaalsium salts. Commercial soapmaking, is merely the domestic process on a large scale "Kettles" are used which may hold as much as 1,000.000 pounds of fat and alkali! Castile soap is made of olive oil and soda, The transparent types of bath soap are made by .dissolving the dried soap in alcohol and then allowing-. tble taleobsol to evaporate Soap for use at sea, which will lath- er' ijn salt, water, is usually made from cocoanut oil and lye. Shaving creams are not like cake soaps. They are not boiled in the process of mant4facture. Tnsltead, pure lard mixed with caustic potash is beaten or whipped thor:oughiy at ordinary temperatures. p g The Canadian Broadcasting Corp- oration, in formulating plans for its programme schedule on a war -time basis, has set aside regular daily and standing favorite, "Nocturne". Many listeners will undoubtedly welcome the announcement that this poetry period will: be heard again, this time from Toronto, where Mr. Willis has been attached since his return from Australia. "Nocturne" is to b sched- uled Sunday nights at 10.30 p.m. FST and there wil be a quiet musical background for the readings, as in the past when the feature came from Halifax. The. Misuse of Gasoline Fires from gasoline and other petroleum products in Canada num- bered 1,052 in 1938 and caused prop- erty' damage of over $600,000 and resulted in the loss of 36 lives. Hun- dreds of millions of gallons of gaso- line are consumed annually in this country but it is the misuse of a few gallons which has been responsible for the mounting toll of dead and in- jured end heavy property damage. If people could only realize that a gallon of gasoline properly vaporized has the explosive force of 82 pounds of dynamite, they 'would exercise more care in its use, Gasoline should never be used in the house for dry cleaning, purposes. Wouldn't it be cheaper to send .clothes out to be cleaned than to risk being burned to death in an explosion" the.. flames should they come in contact with flame? Elven the very act of clean- ing clothes .in gasoline develops Sunday periods, devoted to the spir- static eleetricity which is liable to itual life of the nation On Sundays, set off the fumes without warning. the "Devotional Service" at 2.30 p.m. This has often happened too when EST and the "Church of the Air" at floors are cleaned with gasoline. 5.00 p.m. EST, are conducted as clos- ely as possible along the lines of the full church service of the various religious )denomination's leartiebalb- ing. • According to Don Fairbairn, of the CBC Agricultural Division, the in- clusion of Canadian Press news on the Ontario Farm Broadcast over O B L (daily except Saturday and Sunday at 12.30 to 1,00 p.m. EST) is of great assistance in keeping the farmer up-to-date on the marketing of agricultural products under war- time conditions Such items as the recent annpuncement concerning the Dominion Government's purchase of two million barrels of apples from British Columbia and Nova Scotia for processing, for instance, are at interest to farm listeners. Quentin Maclean, noted British organist, who sailed for his fii'st visit to Canada two days before war was declared, has decided to prolong his It may not be generally known but it is nevertheless a fact that ie most provinces in Canada a fire insurance policy may be rendered null and void if more than one quart of gasoline is kept in a building withoutspecial permit. And even that limit must be kept in a tightly closed metal ean-- never in a glass bottle. THE KING'S NEW CAR His Majesty King George VI, has. ,recent]' purchased a car for his own use, what is known in England as a Lanchester saloon, The King's new car is the 40th to be delivered to Britain's " reigning monarchs since. King Edward Vin, took the first, a 6 h.p model, in 1899. Nor is the King's interest, in motoring confined to relaxing in the luxurious up- holstery of the back seat in a state- ly Royal,' car. He is a very keen driver and the :that real motoring monarch on the British throne. His grandfather was not so very keen aboutmotoring, because, after all, it was a difficult and nerve-rack- ing sport in those pioneer days, when a man with a red flag was, supposed ;to precede the "evil -smel- ling monster." George V. appreciated the com- fort and convenience of motoring but was never known to drive a car, while the Duke of Windsor, as King Edward VIII., was 'so fond of r air travel that he accepted motoring merely as a convenient means of completing the shorter Bross -country journeys. Whenever the opportunity arises, the King takes the Queen and the Princesses for a run in his own saloon car. He is a cool-headed driv- er; he prefers to, travel at a moder- ate pace and to enjoy the passing scenery. He carefully observes the 30 m.p.h. speed limits in built-up areas and has a friendly wave for the driver who lets him slip, through a traffic jam. - The King is especially friendly to- wards any car carrying the Order of the Road badge. He is a keen mem- ber of this organization ofmotorists who have driven at least 10,000 miles. There is nothing very exceptional about the King's favourite saloon, but the State cars, of which there are about 40, are very carefully plan- ned and - built. They incorporate a fluid -flywheel device, which prevents any possibility of the engine "boil- ing' when the cars have to travel for long distances at a crawl. The! fluid -flywheel automatically sends the car into neutral when a more orthodox model would b e grinding along in first gear. When a new Royal ear is ordered drawings of the chassis and coach- work are submitted to the King for approval. Often His Majesty makes suggestions; more than once he has offered a practical idea to assist the chauffeur. The Royal cars used for the King's household can he recognised by "fin- ned" radiators, which are now always black, their brass lamps, and the maroon coachwork. The Royal State cat's (those used only for State processions) are dis- tinguished by the absence of licence plates and registration numbers; but the King's own private car has a registration number and has to be licenced in the usual way, The handling of gasoline in the Presence of naked light 9s also a very dangerous practice. Attempts to transfer this volatile liquid from one vessel to another in the presence of lanterns has resulted in numerous deaths and injuries. Where amend necessary to do this, it should be done in daylight or by electric light. Many garage operators still insist on using gasoline for cleaning and washing engine parts in spite of the fact that there are just as efficient and safer solvents on the market. Numerous instances, ae on record where this practice has resulted in fire and personal injuries. Where necessary to keep smaI stay until London/1 blade -ands are quantities of gasoline, it should b kept only in approved safety can "eased a bit".

With the widespread use of gaso line, there should be little excuse re garding the lack of larowiedge of its explosive properties and it should command greater respect than has hitherto been sho'svn. George Young stepped back into his best-known tole with the begin- ning of the new CBC fall schedule. Mr. Young has been Regional Repre- sentative for the Corporation in the Maritimes for the past two years, but for several years previously he was the presiding' genius of "Let's All Go To The Music Hall" and in 1937' he toured the Dominion as director of "The National Sing Song". Now he is leading the weekly songfest from Halifax, heard Wednesdays at 8.00 p.m. EST. Last week, George had a giant choir made up of men from the Royal Canadian Regiment, sta- tioned at Halifax. This week, the civilian population took over the chal- lenge and on October 11 the navy will swing into the old refrains with characteristic gusto. Not since the days of the lest war, when George took time off from ferrying aero- planes across the English Channel to sing with lads at, Folkstone, has' he enjoyed himself so much, , He admits,, off the record', that he hopes the rivalry between .the navy ` and the army will net centre collectively on him when the boys find out .he is ami ex-R.A.F. man.

Potassium chlorate, quickly lighted as in or- dinary matches, causes gases to be released from the chemicals which make up the stick, But when these burning gases develop a certain heat, this rise of temperature liberates nitrogen gas in the mass which chokes the flame, though not too quickly to allow the lightning of a fire. This process is repeated as often as desired up to 600 times. The inventor says "Sixhundred lightings with one of my matches will cost less than an ordinary box of matches.

PUREBREDS PURCHASED FOR COUNTY HOME The County Home Committee of the County Council has purchased a herd of five purebred Durham Short- horn cows. and one bull for the in- stitution at' Clinton. The purchase of the cattle is subject to their passing the tuberculosis and other tests. They were bought from different breeders in Hunan and Perth counties. The committee, acting on instructions of County Council at its June session, has sold the cows which have been serving the Home, which of late months has been buying most of its milk. The price of the pmebrede ranged from $100 to $200, according to Warden Turner. WARNING TO MINISTERS People who write an illegible hand must suffer themselves to be some- times misunderstood, frequently with amusing results, Such an experience once came to Dr. J. M. Buckley, the eminent clergyman, when to the press he sent a notice of the subject of his Sabbath discourse, "Oats and Wild Oats." The editor of one of the religious weeklies really did himself proud in deciphering the good min- istet's handwriting. Imagine Dr. Buckley's astonishment and amuse- ment to learn from his paper that on Sunday he was to preach on "Cats and Wild Cats." "EYES" ON THE WAR Forces' Optical Glass Now 100 Per Cent. British Britain is now selfssupporting in the production of the finest optical glass, "eyes" of the Fighting Forces and of scientists, without which. no modern war could be fought. This achievement is the result of 21 years intensive research and ex- periment xperiment in producing the. 70 differ- ent. varieties of optical glass, same of which are used in combination to make up lenses used in the ilghest• grade instruments. "In 1914 many foreign instrument; ' were being used in the Service, bo to -day the equipment is 100 per cent British," said Mr. T. J.
