PIN -HEAD INSECT Produces Yearly 30,000 Tons of Resin for the War One hundred tins of bully beef can be coated with the shellac used in the recording of a sonata (of, say, four 12" records) for the gramo- phone. And, as shellac has a place in almost every branch of Britain's work fox the war, British production of gramophone records has been Promptly cut down as the war effort keeps speeding up. Made as a*protective covering by a tiny Indian insect only one thirtieth of an inch long, shellac is the only natural resin produced by animal agency. Thirty thousand tons of it are being used every year in scores of industries ranging from tank pro- duction to dentistry. Latest of all developments is its part as an important constituent in a now "dope" for giving aeroplanes greater weather resistance. But this is only one of the 68 new uses which Britain, India and America have found for shellac 111 the past ten years, It protects fuses, detonators and charges for shells, bombs and roines, and it is used in Bengal flares and signal lights and rockets.

Pearce Canada's army is taking to the skies, Six officers and 20 non-commission- ed officers comprising the first men from the Canadian Army to be , accepted for service in the 1st Caned - iso Parachute Battalion are now in training at Fort Benning, Oeorgla. They will return to Canada upon completion of their courses for serv- ice as instructors in the new Canad- ian Army parachute training centre to be opened at Camp Shilo, Man. All fully qualified soldiers, volun- teers for the ist Canadian Parachute Battalion must be of high Physical standards, They must be alert active, well -muscled, with first-class eyesight and endurance. Sento rofficers must be under 35, and captains and lieu- tenants not over 32, and NCO.'s and men from 18 to 32, A. jumping tower will be erected at Camp Shilo and volunteers will be given complete instruction in all phases of. this modern form of fight- ing. "There has been a very large re- sponse to the call for the volunteers for the parachute battalion," stated Brig. Weeks, "We are careful in our selection not to enrol a man with specialized technical training. We want young, strong fighting soldiers with initiative and military experi- ence. They must be under 185 pounds In weight and have strong feet and ankles." Training will be progressive. First the men will be trained in jumping off walls,10 and then 15 feet high. • Then there wil be the tower -jumping, from the 250 -foot structure. They will first make a controlled jump from the tower in which they will be guided to the ground by wires. Then ponies the "free" jump, and the men will commence real parachute jumping from planes. Service with the paratroopers is absolutely voluntary. If a man even suggests that he doesn't feel like jumping, he will be. removed from the parachute battalion and transfer- red back to his own unit. A distinct- ive uniform and special, paratroop badges will be worn. Reunion of Veterans By Williafit McNulty When a pilot officer ih the Royal Canadian Air Fbrce stepped out of a fighter .plane on a farm near Lunen. Inirg, N. S., he saw a horse looking steadily at him. A forced landing had been necessary in a pasture field, but neither the plane nor pilot was injured. The pilot , thought he recognized the horse as one he owned about two years ago, on a wheat farm near Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, but which he had sold on enlisting in the air force. The airman ,shouted, "Major," at the horse. -Whereupon, the equine raced, toward him, hwinnying happ- ily. The horse rubbed his head agains t the pilot's uniform. The man and beast had a joyful reunion for a half hour until the Man went to the nearest farmhouse to tele- phone news of the mishap to his base. The horse followed him right to the door, and they were together until a rescue plane arrived in about an hour. The pilot learned that after he sold Major, the horse was shipped from Saskatoon to Halifax, N. S., in a car- load of western farm horses, and at Halifax, was bought by the farmer close to Lunenburg on whose land the plane came down. The airman is now convinced the world is not so big after all. Out on the prairies, he had used Major for horseback riding as well as general farm work, and they had been the beet of companions. They were reunited after two years, about 2,700 miles east of their PAGE THREE Firm, Sparkling Jams and Jellies Without Fuss or Failure only aot7eSil.Rtttu TniatOcitLo two.

Why? Because buildings are next to impossible to replace. Because farm fires destroy food along with the power to produce it. Fires are the Nation's loss now!

See that the lamps and lanterns are filled before dark. Always hang the lantern well up—snapped on with a good strong snap. Don't takes chances with kerosene oil or gasoline.
