Adele Lodge, Ste, Adele en Haut, P.Q. Both are Staunch advocates of the system which enables skiers to learn the sport without resorting to the stemm, snowplow and other cum- bersome details. , At a recent rendez-vous in Quebec City, the two skime•isters laid. bhe'foundations for a parallel ski instructors association, designed to protect beginners from unqualified instructors of parallel methods. Encouraged by the growing popularity of his streamlined methods Loosli has presented the story of parallel in his new book "Parallel. Skiing" now available to the public. —Canadian Pacific Photo Shortage of Tires Won't Hinder 'E Leon Henderson, director of oivilian supplies in the United States, believes that ingenuity will produce something to enable ,motorists to travel "setting down" even if they can't get rubber tires. Testifying before a United States Committee, Henderson said he thought ingenuity would pro - duce a new type of wheel or tire for automobiles which would be used "even if it bumps, even if it destroys the peace of the night, and even if it only goes 15 miles" an hour. "This native urge — as Bill Knudsen says—to go from one place to another 'setting down' is net going to be destroyed by e shortage of tires," he said. Lt, - Gen. William S. Knudsen, motor car production expert now is War Department Procurement Direc- tor. MESSAGE FROM SI is x 'O f'" E "So long, my Canada!

Sonny: "He knows already —he's hanging on the bed- room window sill!" The school inspector was exam- ining a class of small boys. "Now boys," he said, "Noah was an active man, and must have found it irksome to be confined so long during the flood. How do you think, he spent his time?" "Fishing, sir," said one bright boy, "Yes, I should think he did some fishing," agreed the inspec- tor. "He wouldn't catch many fish," interjected another, youngster. "What makes you think he wouldn't catch many?" said the inspector, "He had only two worms." There was a young girl In the choir Whose voice went up hoir and hoir Till ono Sunday night It went out of sight And they found it next day in the spoir.

Santa Claus Stops Working For War Even some of Santa Claus' workshops have been turned over to the manufacture of munitions, it was learned at the Canadian Toy Convention in Toronto.

What Science Is Doing TRIPTANE Super -fuels now being made in laboratories in eye -dropper quan- tities may smash all present standards of motor performance, Harland 1Vlanchester writes in Harpers. One, called "triptane," is said to give 50 percent more power in bench tests than the best aviation gasoline. The . use of an organic com- pound of magnesium in the pro- cess makes it too expensive for motor car tanks, but that has not halted the chemists. They are looking for a cheaper method of synthesis that will do the job of the magnesium, and when they can find it, triptane may have a brilliant career. The war in the air furnishes the most conclusive proof of the su- periority of the new American fuels. The struggle for air su- premacy may be won by octane numbers. Gasoline taken from captured German planes averages no better than 87, and it is known that Japan's supply of high-octane fuel is limited. British and • American planes have an ample supply of the 100 -octane fuel made possible by improved refin- ing and blending methods. Only a few years ago fuel of this grade was so rare that samples cost $30 a gallon. Now the United States Government is buying it in tank car lots, and plans are under way to increase production to more than 5,000,- 000 gallons a day. Modern Etiquette 1. Do well-bred women kise each other when meeting or tak- ing leave in public places? 2. What is the first duty of one who is preparing to leave a din- ner, party or reception? 3. What is the proper sequence of pages in a social letter? 4. Flow much time is the bride expected to spend with her guests at the wedding reception? 5. What is the real and final test of good breeding? 3. What should a woman do when calling, if she finds her hos- wee ready to go out? Answers 1. No; even the most intimate of friends will only shake hands when geeting each other at par- ties, church, teas or in public places. 2. To take leave of the hoot and hostess. It is not neces- sary, however, to seek out each person to whom one has been in- troduced :and bid him or her a separate farewell. 3. It is cor- rect to write on the first page, and then on the third, or on the first, second, third and fourth. The latter order is probably the better in the case of very long letters, as it avoids confusion. Never write sideways or avast - wise, as it leads to difficulty in reading. 4. Not more than two hours, She may then retire to her room with her maid of honor to change into her travelling cos- tume, 5. Observance of those rules of conduct which snake it easier and simpler for one to mingle with other people. Arn- old Bennett, the noted English playwright, once said: "I cannot too strongly insist that the basis of convention is a symbolism, primarily meant to display a re- gard for the feelings of other people." 6, She may say: "I see you are ready to go out; I won't keep you," However, if the hos- tess insists that she stay for awhile, it is perfectly proper to remain. War Material Sent Abroad By Britain Lord Halifax Asserts "Appal- ling Risk" Taken In 1941 1941 Great Britain shipped 9,000 planes and 3,000 tanks abroad in 1941 at "appalling risk" to the safety of the home front, Viscount Halifax said recently in answer to accusations that Britain "leaven the fighting to her friends". Some of that material played a vital part "in the historic de- fence of Moscow," the British ambassador said in a speech be- fore the American Academy of Political and Social Science. "In 1941, we got 2,000 aircraft .from this country, but we sent more than 9,000 overseas," he declared. "We imported 200 tanks but we sent abroayl 3,000. We have had to take appalling risks with the safety of Great Britain by sending vital war material at critical times to ohter theatres of war. "I hear it said that Britain site behind 3,500,000 bayonets in her island fortress and leaves the fighting to her friends. "2,000,000 of these soldiers are home guards whose full-time work is in war industries. The other 1,500,000 have got to defend something like 3,000 miles of coasts and 90,000 square miles inside them. "Certainly, I do not think that the idea of the British Isles being over -insured is one that would be accepted by any responsible military opinion." Lord Halifax said seventy pea' cent of the Empire's casualties on land were borne by'the British Isles and "at sea they have been heavier still." The Golden Gate and the San Francisco -Oakland bridges - were designed and built to resist air attack, CHEW BIG BEN BIG TIME CHE ig Increase Seen In Canadian Navy Canada's naval forces will be Increased to 40,000 officers and ratings by the end of 1942, Navy Minister Macdonald said in an interview recently. He added that Canadian shipbuilding was progressing so favorably that the number of ships on active service would amount to nearly five hundred by the end of the year. When the war was declared, the Canadian Navy consisted of 1,700 men on active service and "about Half a dozen ships." ®..CLQ`:" SHIED ADVEDTISEMENTSW BABY CHICKS SIX BREEDS, CHICKS, CAPONS. growing Pullets.
