The current contract which expires on December 31, 1946 will be extended to cover 1,760,000 eases of shell eggs and 5,000 tons of dried eggs in 1947 aa, total of about 86.1 million dozen eggs) at current basic prices. The United Kingdom is to furnish to Canada by the Au- tumn of 1946 (preferably by Octo- ber) an indication of the require - menta of eggs in shell and in dried or frozen form during 1948. Shell eggs are to be shipped dur- ing the months of September to May 15, 1947 inclusive, and more especi- ally during the months from October to December, inelusive. Owing to the difficulties in handling supplies in the United Kingdom during the summer months, Canada was re- quested to cease shipments of shell eggs by May 15, 1947, diverting the summer surplus to the production of sugar dried eggs.

When I saw the twisting muddle of dirty cars in a traffic tie-up on the main street recently, I thought of the tangle of clothes in our laundry late week. Besides dirty play suits, stubborn - streaked collars and grimy work clothes, we had decided to wash all the woollen blankets as well as the bed linen. After the line-up of clothes were all moving in the breeze, three blankets crashed to the ground es part of the line broke! May we remind other homemakers of the policeman's directions to send a few heavy things at a time along the line, otherwise reroute them to, another space. Let's keep things in order from the beginning ani i sort the clothes. The main idea being to deal with the cleanest things first, slightly soiled articles next, after that aprons, dresses, play euits, then men's 'work clothes, Unreliable dyed materials should be deem separately—soak for 3'to 5 mins. in strong salty water, then wash in a high suds (two basins, if dirty) and rinse quickly. Dry thoroughly. Place the garment in an old towel, press out excess moisture. Ha.ng in a breeze to dry quickly or pad with a towel to dry indoors. Stains also complicate laundering. Many are no trouble to remove when fresh, but become per inanent if the trick is left until laundry day or put immediately into hot soapy water. Make a practice of removing staine le soon as possible. Be sure to shake dusty garments outdoors to get rid of Mese dirt. Empty and whisk nut pocktes and cuffs. Hard water is another complica- tion because it is harsh, hard to use, hard on everything and must be specially treated before it can begin to clean clothes. Treat the water with washing soda, borax or aria mania. Dissolve the softener first; make upa strong solution and keep it in a well -corked bottle out of reach of children—use 1% bottle of crystals and fill up with water. Measure from the bottle exactly —too much will harm fabric. -too little will fail to do a good job. Moderately soft water requires 3 or 4 tbsps. in 10 gallons of water. Now, add the soap and swish the water to create about a 3inch suds. From time to time during the wash- ing you will need to add aims soap becauce suds die down. Unless a good lather is maintained, there is dagger of scummy curds forming on clothes. Fresh water is important. for a good cleansing of soiled goods. Soften rinse water to prevent - particles of soap remaining in goods which will turn yellow when ironed. Use the same proportion of chemi- cal as for the nmehine. Much de- pends too, on the wringing. When properly done the rollers press out most of the soapy wash-water'but if the clothes are carelessly fed in or if pressure of evrieger is loose, the rinse water soon becomes soapy. All these points have a direct influence upon the whiteness of the wash. ntgoodel***mbar withtevate r uhyt( TAKE A TIP 1. Fruit stains on white or fast - colour material usually disappear completely if the material is stretch- ed over a bowl and boiling water poudel from a height of 2 or 3 feet. 2. Small oil spots as a rule re- spond to eornstaroh or talcum powd- er patted on immediately. The powder absorbs the oil before it seeps into the threads. If this is not successful, carbon tetrachloride will do the triek. (It is safe to use and quite effective.) 3. Try rubbing ordinary lard thor- oughly into the spots made by black grease or tar. This softens the geease, then it may be removed with carbon tetrachloride or a good clean- ing solvent. If the cloth is washable the remaining part of the stain may be bleached out with javelle water: if garment can't be laundered use 2 Or 3 applications of solvent. 4. Strong ammonia water is a good solution in which to soak a rust - stained garment THE QUESTION BOX Miss T. 141. asks; What are the in- gredients of the wollen wash we were given in the laundry class of household science course? _Answer: Make a solution of 1 large bar or 0 oz. of mild soap in 3 qts. water. When partially cool. add 2 tbsps. borax and Ti cup alco- hol. Soak garments in eolution for a. few mins. before being laundered in sudsy water, Mrs. R. 'NT. asks: Can T clean feathered flowers? Anevver: Shake up and down in 01051110.essolvent and put in the air tn dry. Mr. T. J. asks: Can I clean a trench cent without destroying the vainpeoofing quality? Answer: Yes, brush with soapy water. Dip brush 10 suds and scrub font. Pone clenn water over it to vireo. allow it to drip dry.
