THE VALUE OF AN APPLE
Hello Honiemakersi "An Apple a
day keeps the doctor away" is an old
The apple cannot be measured in
monetary value when you consider
the satisfaction of munching a good
Ontario eating -apple, and as a fruit
it rates high in nutritional va}ue.
Raw apples contain amounts of
minerals needed for good bones and
teeth and red blood. One app doesn't
provide the ,total amount that we
need daily, but when cooked and com-
bined with such foods as milk, pleat
dishes, cheese or eggs, we may be
assured of eating health -providing
dishes.

Live Poultry Sales, When the
Prices of dressed poultry to the pub-
lic are at ceiling levels it is naturally
expected that producers should re-
ceive approximately the ceiling

according to F. S. Grisdale, deputy
foods co-ordinator for the wartime
prices and trade board. He made the
statement in answer to protests from
poultry producers regarding prices
they are receiving for poultry. Maxi-'
innm prices have been set for live
birds and according to Mr, Grisdale,
"poultry producers in all parts of
Canada should make themselves fully

Makers of the
Victoria Cross
The Victoria Cross is Britain's
highest recognition of valor in the
field of battle. Every Victoria Cross
that's ever been awarded comes from
a quiet little jeweller's shop in the
West End of London.
It's a shop you'd hardly notice in
the ordinary way. But it's to that
little shop that the postman every
now and again brings a letter mark-
ed OHMS.—just the sort you'd
write to your tailor and say you
wanted another suit.

utely 01a1w1e5)); every line -and curve
is perfection itself. Under the crown
are the two words "For Valour,"
Then there's the ribbon itself, It's
a deep, blood red, a lovely glowing
colour like a summer rose. And 'all
this is built by the jewellers into an
insignia that's only just aver three
inches long', an inch and a half wide
and weighs about as much as a silver
dollar. And, strangely enough, its in-
trinsic value isn't even fifty cents;
it's about ten cents, 00 course, you
