They were charged under the recent regulations with having in their pos- session creamery cans and using them for purposes other than the transportation of milk or cream to the owners. The charges were laid by A. S. Thurston, Meaford, secretary and manager of the Ontario Creamery Association, in accordance with an order -in -council published in the Canada Gazette on April 8, copies of which had been mailed to 165,000 rural mail boxes. The court room was filled with spectators, indicative of the interest aroused. Mr. Thurston told of visiting the farms of the accused. On August 21 at the John Millian farm, Colborne township, he found two cans marked with the names of Windsor and Kit- chener dairies, which were being us- ed for shipment of milk to the Holmesville cheese factory. The cans were seized by him and will be re- turned to the plants to which they belong. Strongly contending that the cans were being used to transport milk to. fill the demand for cheese for Old Country consumption, the accused farmers maintained they were the owners of the cans as they had been given in exchange for others. "These new laws make quite a 'confusion in the country," Magistrate Makins stated. "I have every sym- pathy with these men, I know what it means to produce milk, but the fact remains that these laws are on the statute books and must be observed, There is no doubt that these dairies would say that these were their cans. The same thing applies to milk bot- tles. I have every sympathy for these farmers. The distribution of milk is badly needed.

Mr. Thurston said he bad visited the Garfield McMichael premises in Goderich township on August 14th, and found three cans on which were the names of London, Centralia and Goderich wholesale dairies. Two of them contained whey. Mr. McMichael testified that he had bought three cans from Guelph Creameries and in an exchange of cans he was left with the cans seen by Thurston. Mrs. McMichael testi- fied they had always owned three cans. F. Donnelly, defence counsel, said 'Creameries exchange them and now want this association to recover their cans.

Now is the time mothers will beb ausy getting the children's clothes ready for school—mending, letting out, and making over to make things do. And the youngsters always seem to "stretch up" so during the bummer! This year more mothers than ever will be sewing the children's clothes —and their own, It is economical and choice of ready-to-wear styles is limited, Since government orders have eliminated "frills," simple smart, streamlined styles will be the fashion in future. A study of govern- ment regulations regarding clothing will repay the homemaker who would be "fashion -wise." For example, did you know that regulations forbid more than nine buttons on a dress and allow only seven or nine -inch zippers limited in colour to black? There is a ban on redingotes; Jacket dresses are ' out, and separate jackets (worn with skirts which must be on a band, not a bodice) may not be longer than twenty-six inches; capes, scarves, matching hats or purses are taboo. Hems may vary from one-half inch on a flared skirt to two inches on a straight cut. Blouses have no double back yokes, no pocket cuffs or French cuffs; pleats in skirts are shallower but flares may sweep 80 inches. Nearly every child is eager to help and now while mother is busy young daughter may take over. in the kit- chen.

Only one occupant of the plane escaped alive. George Edward Alexander Edmund, H.R.H., the Duke of Kent, Earl of St. Andrews and Baron Downpatrick, fourth son and fifth child of King George V and Queen Mary, was born on December 20th, 1920. He was a PAGE THREE ity in the building industry. That man was Coventry -born Councillor Harry Weston.

But there were thousands of families made home, less and thousands of new houses needed, Weston bad heard vague stories of the possibilities of slag as a substi- tute for timber and be determined to try it out in house construction, He found an ally in Architect Don- ald Gibson, whose ambition it is to see post-war Coventry a city of green spaces, wide. roads and well- designed shops. The two were lucky enough to come across a Scot who had used slag in the building of army huts for camps north of the Tweed, and he was given the job of turning out enough of the new wood -substitute to repair damaged buildings and to complete no less than 2,500 of Cov- entry's new houses, Many of the buildings now finish- ed could never have been started if they had to wait for wood.

' Thewmixture sets in a remarkably b b ' electrically Coventry Rebuilds Out of the havoc of war has come a discovery that will be beneficial to the lives of millions—a discovery that will ease one of the greatest problems of post-war building and will provide labor for hundreds of thousands of workers. Over twelve months have passed since Coventry faced its night of horror, and, if you go to Coventry today, you will see a strange town— a temporary town. Yet hundreds of these new shops and homes have been built with the aid of a new process, For Hitler has indirectly gi- ven to mankind a blessing; if Coven- try had not been blitzed it might never have turned to the use of waste material for. building. This waste material which has suddenly become valuable is foam slag, a by-product of the blast furn- aces which turn out steel for ships, tanks and guns. • Just as the multitudinous and vast- ly by-products of coal—perfumes, tar, plastics, paints, petrol, dyes, drugs, explosives and so on—were at One time thrown away, so, for nearly a century, foam slag was al- most ignored. Some of it was ground down, and used as fertilizer—the railways took a certain amount and used it to fill the gaps on the lines between the ties—sometimes it was mixed with congrete and used in breakwaters to hold in check the angry waters of our coasts, By far the Target' pro- portion of it remained where it was, towering in mounds forty feet and more in height, an ugly but inevit- able feature of the landscape wher- ever the great blast furnaces belched forth their smoke. But a few months ago one man in Britain realized that foam slag could achieve a new importance—could, in fact, take its plaee as a vital necess- 1. The time to cut garden blooms so that they will last a long time depends on the kind of flower; dahlias, when quite open; gladioli, when the first bud opens; 'roses, when the buds are as soft as one's fingers. 9. One inch of water is sufficient for most flowers though carnations need deep water. 3 Store flowers in a, constant cold atmosphere— near the freezing unit of the electric refrigerator -1 over night to have them last for the longest time possible. 4. Changing water and cutting stems have comparatively little value in prolonging the life of a' flower. THE QUESTION BOX �' Mrs. M. C. asks: "How,can i repair' leaking faucet ?"

"CUT-THROAT" RAZORS HAVE WAR -TIME BOOM A boom in "cut-throat" razors is one interesting side line in the grow- ing contribution which is bong made by Sheffield cutlers to the war effort. Apart from the curious fact that this long -handled type of razor norm- ally maintains a considerable vogne among Naval men, safety razor blades are from time to time today in short supply in Brita7r because the cutlers are allowed t -o produce only 25 per cent. of their usual output for home use, Many civilians are therefore taking to the long -handled razor, and the result is that the handful of firms who make it are now very busy indeed. in peace time the saying ran that Sheffield shaved the British Army and to -day the calif for safety razor blades is of course colossall, As fast as the factories get their allocation of steel strip, the stamping mach- ines, mostly worked by girls, turn it into blades by the thousand, In addition to meeting very consid- erable calls for equipment from works and colliery canteens, feeding cen- tres and A,R,P. depots, Sheffield is producing an innnense range of other cutlery for the Forces at hotne and in the Dominions, It includes table knives, cooks' knives, ecisso•s for use in hospitals and at balloon bar- rage depots, as well as ap0one and forks although, strictly speaking, these do not come within the cote gory of cutlery.
