Live cattle sold at prices much above the equivalent of the 'beef ceiling. Reputable processors, and retailers, lost heavily; -- those who disregarded the ceiling did a record volume at high profit, , This experience is cited .as demonstrating the difficulty of en- forcing ceilings in respect of essential foods, in a period of acct shortage. * The Directors w'isli again to pay sincere tribute to the loyeit service of workers of all ranks. By reason of two conditions, manpower is daily becoming a more difficult problem. 1, Experienced men enlist, or are drafted, and must be re- placed by inexperienced men. 2. By reason of increasing volume, still more inexperienced men must be taken on. ' These conditions throw a heavy load upon Superintendents, Fore- men, and the remaining experienced workers. Since 1939, personnel has grown asfollows:— en Women March, 1939 4,273 530 " 1940 4,899 599 " 1941 5,543 791 " 1942 5,783 1,123 in accordance with the profit-sharing plan, bonus distribution for the year was $755,000.00 J.

Address to Canada Packers Limited, Toronto. When Pickling Isn't Preserving Polish pilots who lay injured in hospitals were feted by Eng- lish friends. Books -English, alas —were showered on them and they spent their convalescence struggling once again with more elusive foe, English pronuncia- tions, and all the queer vagaries of English spelling. It is worth recording that the squadron leader had studied the dictionary rather ponderously for a suitable word to express an appropriate sentiment on the departure of a Canadian squadron on operation, His parting words were "May God pickle you, gentlemen."

"Yes," nodded the second man. "I put all the substitutes for rub- ber into one batch, cooked it up and offered it as a solution be our retread problem." "What happened?" asked the first experimenter. "I got bounced," sighed the second. A lawyer being interrupt- ed, said: "I will apeals sir, as long as I please." "You have spoken longer than you please," was the op. ponent's retort.. Having a rather long and start- ling message to send home and just enough funds to pay for 10 -word telegram, the man as follows: "Bruises hurt erected analysis dead." Here's what he meant: "Bence is hurt, he raced a Ford he wrecked it, and Alice le hurt, in fact she's dead." "How long are you In prl•- son for, my man?" "Two weeks."

Sir William's father was at one time Chief Scout for Malta. * In spite of the demands of the war Great Britain continues to plan for increased outdoor activi- ties for Boy Scouts. Bradley Wood, a new 44 -acre camp site near Huddersfield, was recently opened by Sir Percy Everett, the Deputy Chief Scout, in the pres- ence of the Mayor of Hudders- field and a large gathering of Boy Scouts and Wolf Cubs. The site will provide camping facilities for the 15,000 Scouts of the area. * Brigadier - General Godfrey Faussett, Camp Chief of the World's greatest gathering of boy- hood, the International Coming - of -Age Boy Scout Jamboree, held -- at Birkenhead in 1929, is dead. The camp brought together 53,000 Boy Scouts from over 70 different countries and toarts of the mark the rt Bri- tish Empire, birthday of Scouting and honour its founder, Lord Baden-Powell. * * * Among the many social move- ments appearing at the beginning of the present century, outstand- ing has been the Boy Scouts. Their success arises from the develop- ment of the activity principle .as an educational method. The na- tural instinct of youth to discover birds' nests, to be familiar with the habits of wild life, to excel in games of skill, is directed to Nature Study and skill in Handi- crafts which are of the utmost educational value. When to these is added a code of honour based on Christian Chivalry, the result is a training of character, which is the supreme aim of education. —H. H. Shaw, Chief Superintend- ent of Education, Prince Edward Island. "Sedentary work," said the col- lege professor, "tends to lessen the endurance." "In other words," the student butted iii, "the more one sits the less one can stand." "Exactly," retorted the profes- sor, "and if one lies a great dead one's standing is lost complete- ly „ "Bello, old chap! I want to strike you for a loan." "Well, you'll have to land an awful wallop to make me give it to you." A small boy at the zoo asked why the giraffe had such a long neck. "Well, you see," said the keep- er, gravely, "the giraffe's head is so far from his body a long neck is absolutely necessary." JAPS FELT STING OF THIS NEW GUN A iVlarine paratrooper takes aim with the Raising submachine gon, newly adopted by the Marine Corps and repdtedly used in the. ,Solomon Islands attack. The gun, developed especially for para - 'troops, is of .45 calibre, has a pistol grip, folding steel frame stock and fires 400-500 rounds a minute. Can Diving Plane Skip Steel Ropes?

MODERN ETIQUETTE A dive -bomber trap operating on the theory that a plunging at- tack plane can't skip steel ropes hurled by mortars was among military mechanisms in a "win - the -war" exhibition in New York. The United States Coast Guard displayed a model of the trap which is aimed to protect a pre- pared position menaced by a dive - bomber. A mortar cannon hurls into the air a long cable which stretches out to fall slowly, sup- ported by two parachutes. It's object is to foul the enemy plane or force it to swerve from its tar- get. Exhibit lecturers said that the device "has ended the effective- ness of dive-bombing prepared positions." A total of 60 United Nations Governments, defence agencies and private organizations are sponsoring the displays. British exhibits include a scale model of a fully -equipped invasion barge and a paratrooper's outfit, Canadian Troops Attend Lectures Canadian troops in England have found a new way of spend- ing their leaves. They go "up'to Oxford" for a week. Thirty or 40 Canadians at a time are living at the university attending a course of lectures specially arranged for them. Talks by eminent speakers are given on colonial administration, economics, English history and general subjects. Lectures over, they are shown around the town by English stu- dents and given a good time.

Matches Still Put In Overseas Boxes Despite all the warnings that have been issued, people still put matehes and other inflammables in parcels which they send over - teas, says The Windsor Star. It ie n strange psychology which makes them believe it is clever thus to circumvent the regula- tions. They should be impelled to stop and consider the effect of their actions, by news reaching here of the destruction of thirty bags of mail through the presence of matches in only one parcel. It is disastrous, when considered in the light of the amount of comforts of which soldiers were robbe d.e 4;04 TASTE• FLAVOUR • SHNESS•ECONO DIXIE PLUG HAS EVERYTHING What Science Is Doing CLOTHES FROM BARK You know by now that they can make anything out of any- thing, practically, and they're go- ing to prove it once more this time using the bark from those beautiful big California redwood trees. Next winter you can buy the result—hats, ibiankets, mattres- ses and rugs made of a fabric in which a principal ingredient is bark. There's nothing to prevent them from using the bark fabric in coats and suits, too, but so far they've made up only three ex- perimental bark garments, a "siren suit for an air raid warden with matching hat," and a macki- naw. A handful of bark ltfiber lor feels ls wiry and springy. that of fiery red hair. Fabrics use from 30 to' 60 per cent of the fiber, with the bal- ance made up of shoddy (reused wool) and virgin wool. Packers In Pickle Over Pickle Pickers How can a packer get a peck of pickles packed, if there aren't enough pickers to pick the pick- les for the packers to pack? Or—what's to become of the gherkin if the pickers don't start w•orkin'? This problem, and it's a tough one, perplexed the National Pickle Packers Association as a commit- tee of its advertising managers gathered to map strategy to solve the pickle puzzle with publicity. What puts the packers in such a pretty pickle, besides the short- age of pickle pickers, is that this year the crops are tops. "Why," said Einar Gaustad •of H•olsum Products, Milwaukee, "crops are the best we've ever had, and pickle prices will prob- a'bly be the highest in years." But — no pickers, no pickles. The attitude of the public seems to be: With jobs such easy pick- ings, who wants to pick pickles? A luncheon followed the meet- ing. Pickles were served, of course.

Once parachutes were made only of the finest imported silk. Today Supplies Controller Allan H. Williamson said Canadian ex- periments xperiments have shown that nylon is better than silk for that pur- pose. Some silk was still being used for 'chutes but when stock's were finished production would go merrily on. "We can produce enough nylon to meet requirements," Mr. Wit- liamson said. BELTING, ETC.
