As head of supplies for the family, it is up to the homemaker to supply proper foods for energy, take care of the household equipment and spend the household dollar wisely. This accom- plished, there will be savings and the good habits a thrift we acquire will carry over after the war period. Every Government order from the Wartime Prices and Trade Boal•o brings the Homemaker a new chall- enge—a challenge being stet cheer- fully by all homemakers. For every restriction is the result of a war emergency and is urate as a means of helping towarss Victory for the Unites Nations. Here are some of the points to remember:— .1, Don't waste hot water—It takes fuel to' heat every drop -of water you waste. 2. Take it easy on wash cloths and towels Wash in the water and not on the towels. Cotton textiles are difficult to replace as machines are needed to make uniforms, par- achutes, etc. 3. Be sparing on cosmetics—They are like many other. "luxury" items—pleasant to have, but don't waste them. 4.Tell the men how to make razor blades last longer—They may be stropped in an empty water glass, 5. Use electricity only when yoo need it—Don't leave a light burning use- lessly. More electric power is need- ed for war industries. 6. Don't turn on the radio unless you want to listen to it. 7. Change to old clothes at home— 'Wear slacks or an old dress at home. Make your good clothes last longer by keeping them mended and clean. 8. Take care of your' shoes -Put pad- ding or shoe trees in them. Have them re -soled and heeled. They'll last longer—and shoe factories are busy working for our lighting men. 9. Go light on butter, cream, sugar, tea, etc.—Many waste butter, use too much sugar, drink tea instead of milk, or use cream when milk would do. 11. Don't throw away anything that can be used—Save everything from toothpaste tubes to rubber tires, needles and pins, nails 'and screws, boxes and paper bags, etc. Canada needs your salvage. 12. Don't be a hoarder. Discourage hoarding in others—It creates panic buying, makes rationing necessary, Don't buy more than is necessary for current needs. 13. Do your job, do it well and co- operate willingly with others. 14, Measure your Victory Quota by "What Can 1 do?" -,Enroll in Civil', len Defense work.

One authority has' estimated that a pair of flies beginning opera- tions in April maybe the progenitors, if all were to live, of sufficient files to cover the earth 47 feet deep by August. • One of the most prolific breeding places of flies is garbage. Ferment- ing and neglected garbage furnishes an excellent mediumkey fly breeding. Garbage pails should be tightly cov- ered ancl at short intervals they should be thoroughly cleaned with hot water and lye. Instead of piling garbage in dumps where rats, flies and other insects multiply, householders in rural areas should bury all garbage. A small trench can be dug each week, and garbage placed in the trench immed- iately covered with earth. Heaps of decaying onions, other vegetables, grass clippings and fruits as well as decaying straw and weeks I will also breed Ries. Suck breeding places should be covered with earth:) The chief importance of the house fly is as a carrier of disease. Not only do its hairy legs pick up disease germs but its filthy feeding habits result in contamination of everything it touches. Typhoid fever, eye dis- eases, parasitic worms, -summer com- plaint and tuberculosis are some of the diseases carried by house flies. , The proem protection and disposal of garbage is a primary control mea -1 sure. All windows and doors should be screened. Cancel Chicago Live Stock Show Al a restilt of every available unit of transportation being required, for urgent war needs the International Live Stock Exposition and Interna-' tional Grain and Hay Show held Yearly at Chicago has been cancelled for 1942. The problem of the trans- portation of the huge number of ex' Whits, exhibitors, and visitors in this; year of -war would' have been im- possible. Last year the show at- tracted attendance of 400,000 people, Strange Relationship Ended With The Passing of the Man Keeper of Gargantua, Richard Kroener, keeper, nurse and cohstapt companion of Gargan' tua the Great, the magnificent goy ilia of the. Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus, died in Polyclinic Hospital, New York, re- cently, bringing to an end one of the strangest relationships that ever existed between a man and a beast of the jungle. Mr. Kroener was fifty- two -years old. Hie wife survives. To understand Mr. Kroener's ob- session for the great ape it is neces Bary to know something of the tem - 'tenement of of gorillas. The gorilla is the largest of the man -like apes. His strength is pro- digious, but, at liberty, he is not vic- ious, He is a delicate creature, for all his size, and is subject to most of man's diseases. He is intelligent and shares many of man's emotions. He is extremely sensitive to captivity, and unless he is captured very young, confinement ususally causes his death, These and other character- istics have fascinated the few per- sons who have had the opportunity of studying him, Mr. Kroener came to the United States from Germany in 1912. He was experienced, in the handling of ani- mals and soon got a job as kennel man for Mrd. Gertrude Lintz, of 8635 Shore Road, Brooklyn. Mt's, Lintz was one of the leading breeders of St. Bernard clogs in this country and once owned 280'of 'them. Later site became interested ine greet apes and began acquiring chimpanzees, oran- utans and gibbons. M . Kroener readily adapted him- self to the training of the apes, He was fond of them and his experi- ences with them were' many. Then, in December, 1932, Captain Arthur Phillips, of the Barber Steamship Line, brought Mrs.Lintz a baby gor- illa. This small ape was destined to become Gargantua the Great, but at that time he was neither great nor i gargantuan. Before he left, the ship a sailor who had been discharged threw 1 acid in his face. It burned' him ter-, ribly, and for a time it was feared that he was blind, Gargantua weighed but twenty- two pounds and for weeks seemed on' the point of death. Mrs. Lintz nursed) him back to health and acquired an- other young gorilla to keep him company. In time it became part of Mr. Kroener's duties to share in the care of the gorillas. As ,the gorillas grew to robust ,health they roamed about the Lintz home and climbed on tables in the basement billiard room. Mr. Kroener was their con- stant companion as they wrestled on the wide lawn or ate rosebuds from the bushes in the garden. Mr, Kroener was fond of them both, but Gargantua, then known as Buddy, grew to be his favorite. As the years passed Gargantua began to develop the physical characteristics of an adult male gorilla. His head - crest began 'to appear, his chest grew and the massive muscles of his back and shoulders bulged larger and larger. When he reached a weight of 200 pounds it was deemed necessary to confine him, and it became Mr. Kroener's duty to put him in a cage. Once the ape realized 'that he was a captive he apparently began to blame his keeper for it. The playful attitude of his young apehood changed and he would await cauti- ously for Mr. Kroener. to come witlt- in reach. He hurt Mr. Kroener sev- eral times. Mr. Kroener, on tbe other )rand, took the ape's attacks with deep understanding. He 'knew that Gar- gantua blamed hint for his captivity and he could not bring himself to resent the attacks. If anything his fondness for the animal grew, utim- ately becoming an obsession. The au - inters obvious indications of reason- ing power and its great strength fas- cinated him. Four years ago Mrs. Lintz decided , to soil Gargantua to the circus, The transaction was made with the pro- vision that Mr. Itroener was to go along and remain as the gorilla's keeper. The big air conditioned cage and his quasi -human friend took up the peripatetic life of the big show. But always' Gargatrtua was await- ing the opportunity to get revenge for his captivity. Once he lashed through the bar's and broke his seta keeper's nose On another s ion ire shattered Mr. Kroener's jaw. An- other time ]ie mangled his arm, In- stead of hav1t g resentment Mr. Iiroe- nor was afflicted with a great tear that something would happen to the ape.

An operation be- came necessary but Mr. Kroener re- fused to leave the gorilla long enough. to go to a hospital, He kept putting it on, fearing that something would happen to Gargantua in his absence, A week before he died Mr. Kroe- ner was taken to Polyclinic Hospital, and he ,passed away without seeing Gargantua again. "Dick loved that gorilla better than anything," Mrs. Lintz said. "There was nothing else in his life. He could never have been separated from him, But if Dick had lived I'. believe the gorilla would have eventually killed him." Goebbels' "Baedeker - Bombing" Shown Up I(Frotn a broadcast by J. 13. Priestley.) During the last few years I must have read .dozens of articles praising the Nazi propaganda service. We've been told over and over again how brilliant, subtle and dangerous it is, We've been asked to admire its won- derful organization. We've been told that Goebbels is the cleverest of all the Nazis. Now, all this may be true. I can't say it isn't true, simply because I'm not acquainted with all that Nazi propaganda hasaccomplishedin eve ery part of the world. On the other hand, I do know something about the propaganda that Goebbels and his men have injected into the Tnglish speaking part of the world, and es- pecially their propaganda to Britain. And I don't hesitate to say! that in- stead of being diabolically clever, it's nearly always extremely stupid. And not only that, but the interest- ing thing is that it gets steadily stupider. Goebbels and his aides give the impression, fatal to any propa- gandist, that they're rattled. Take, for instance, this matter of bombing. What a howling mess they have recently made of their propa- ganda about bombing. Let's take a look at the facts. At the beginning of the war, in the campaign against Poland, the Nazis rained bombs on Warsaw and other Polish cities. Their propaganda film Baptism of Fire particularly emphasizes this bombing and tells the world that any country that has the temerity to defy Hitler will be mer- cilessly bombed. When the West was attacked in May, 1940, the same tactics were used. Dutch, Belgian and French towns and villages being at once sav- agely bombed, the worst example of all being, of course, Rotterdam. Then later that year, they turned the Luftwaffe on to Britain, came over night after night and, before they'd done, left smouldering ruins in nearly every city and killer or seriously wounded about a hundred thousand, When we announced that we pro- posed to do some bombing too, Hit- ler screamed that for every bomb dropped by our planes on Germany, his men would drop a hundred on And, for a time, that looked about the proportion. All right, our people set their• jaws, muttered that they could take it and went to work, raids or no raids, in the enormous factor- ies that now began to turn out more and more Wllitleys, Wellingtons, Hal- ifaxes, Sterlings, Lancasters and the rest. Meanwhile, Hitler got himself and a good part of the Luftwaffe tied up in Russia, and day after day our fighter squadrons went roaring ac- ross the Channel engaged . in great daylight sweeps that blasted all the !airdromes in Northern France, Hun- dreds and hundreds of tons of high explosives were dropped on the Ruhr with a spectacular audacity unparall- eled in this war. Distant Augsburg was bombed in daylight. Then Luc - 'beck and Bostock --two Baltic ports that were important centres in the Naziwar effort, espeecially against Russia—were blasted with a terrify- ing,thoroughness. Meanwhile, what were Goebbels and his men. doing? Weil, after It See- ing e . ing that the raids by the AF were tepidly getting worse and worse and that the Luftwaffe was now in no position to reply to them adequately, 'the Nazi propaganda department has- tily put out tonne talks in English, telling us that really this bonibing was all pretty stupid, except of MEETS SMALLEST C. W. A. C. Hon. J. L. Salston, Minister of National Defence, chats with Lance Corp- oral Jean Iowan, of the CMAC., during an inspection at Regina. Lance Corporal Rowan is one of the smallest women in the CUAC. She is five feet tall. She finds her work in the OWAC an everyday picnic compared to what she used to do: Milk feu 'cows dainly and in the harvest time cook for 14 men on a farm at Crooked River, Saskatchewan. course, when used as parrtof a mil- itary offensive, and that it would be better if we all stopped it. • For sheer impudence, this con hardly be beaten. What Goebbels was saying in effect was, that as the Luftwaffe was now not in a position toattack our war industries and communications on any big "scale, wouldn't we like to stop bombing their war industries and communica- tions? Well, of course,that didn't work as they must have known it wouldn't, though they thought it just worth trying. We continued to hit them hard, so now a howl of rage went up from Berlin. It was announced that the master mind had a new plan. Britain would now be bombed as a reprisal, according to Baedeker's "Guide to Britain." Any building of sufficient architectural or historical interest to have three stars in Baecl- eker's Guide would be deliberately attacked. And so we have had raids on Ex- eter, Bath, Norwich and similar places. In these raids they have been losing one out of every four or five bombers while attacking targets that !are important only in guide books. This is obviously not good business, What's the idea of this Baedeker bombing? It's a pure propaganda stunt and a poor, hastily conceived one at that. In order to spread, out a little and make it look a lot, the Luft- waffe is sendi3rg these smaller squad- rons to attack cathedrals and histot'- ical monuments—anything, as they told us, that has three stars in Bae- deker. From -every point of view ex: 'cept that of sheer, spiteful destruc- tiveness, it's quite futile. When we bomb the huge Heinkel works at Rostock, we're cutting down the supply of Heinkel planes for the Luftwaffe and getting on with the war. But deliberately bombing Exeter or Norwich or the magnificent Royal Crescent at Bath isn't getting on with the war. The British war effort won't be in the least impeded by this kind of bombing. Although it will be sad if eve lose our loveliest buildings the risk will not deter us for a mo- ment. We have something more pre- cious than any building here—our freedom. And we mean to keep it. The German attacks by air Upon the cathedral city of Canterbury fol- lowing last week's British destruction of the city of Cologne in Germany is apparently in keeping will the 'Ger- man Baedeker bombing policy.. MARTIN-DiLLON St. Peter's Cathedral, London, Was the setting for the wedding of Helen Dillon, second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. D.
