Royal Canadian Navy Assists in Maintaining Atlantic 'Lifeline
•
t' This picture was taken from the deck of a des troyer of the Royal Canadian Navy, and shows a con-
'troy steaming towards Great Britain in defiance of 1.1 itlei's piracy on the high seas. Canadian warships as
well as armed vessels of the British navy escort thea e precious cargoes, always on the lookout for surface
udders or undersea enemy craft. For every ship th e Nazis are able to cripple or sink, hundreds reach
port safely and unscathed. '.
HEALTH
Ten Pointers On
Warding Off Colds
Nothing makes a person feel
more aged than a bad cold and
these recurrent maladies lower
the state of health and set the
,stage for more serious illness.
Vie should do everything we can
to avoid them.
Here are a few simple rules
gathered from many sources,
writes Josephine Lowma in the
Toronto Globe and Mail:
1. Eat simply. Do not stuff,
And avoid overindulgence in the
'rarboh.ydrate foods.
2. At times of mental and
motional stress watch out• for
a cold.
3. Don't keep your house too
bot or too dry. Don't dress too
warmly. Take cold showers and
salt rubs if you react to them
4iappily..
4. Avoid loss of sleep. When
you can't help it, then make it"
up the next night.. Many nights
when you are shortchanged on
sleep will almost surely find you
with a cold.
5. Eat enough of the alkalin
forming foods so that your sys-
tem will not. be too acid.
8. If you are subject to sinus
,or ear trouble, wear a hat when
you go out into the cold.
7. Gargle with cold salt water
daily. The salt is a disinfectant
and the cold water conditions
the membranes to damp air
8. Spence as much.time as you
can in the sun and take halibut
or Lod liver oli in the winter
time. Give special attention to
your v
9. Drink eight glasses of wat-
er a day.
10. If you have fever or a sore
throat be sure to see doctor. Neg-
lected colds may become serious
and early advice will save trouble
later.

Boxcar Houses
Smallest Library
The little town of Colmar,
N.M., population 75 persons,
claims to have the smallest lib-
rary in the world—the oply
Iibrary in a boxcar — and the
only lihrary paid for with pen-
nies. Several women launched
a drive for a mile of pennies
to build a library. With the pen-
nies they purchased a boxcar,
moved it to a vacant lot, and in-
stalled some books. Today the
library has more than 1,700 vol-
umes.

TELEVISION RESEARCH
COSTLY
Although television may ap-
pear to be meaking slow progress;
a vast ameeunt of research is be-
ing done in this field. This is
indicated by the report of the 1.1.5.
Federal Communications Com-
mission that more than $3,000,_
000 is to be spent in research by
those who received the ten licen.:-
es for experimental television
work last month. This brings the
total to $8,000,000, the remaind-
er having been spent on more
than thirty earlier licensed pro-

SEWAGE GASES DRIVE -•
BUSES
Stockholm is producing some
of its own motor fuel from an
unusual soulce: its sewage -dispos-
al plants are designed so methane
gas can be recovered from their
operations. Each of the disposal
plants produces 3,500 .cubic met-
ers of methane every twenty-four
hours. This is compressed into
steel drums and is • now being
used as motor fuel for forty
buses. One cubic meter of the gas
is the equivalent, in power pro-
duction, of 1.8 liters (about two
quarts) of gasoline.

BLACKOUT BY LIGHT
The blacking out of a city for
air raid protection without, pull-
ing down a window shade is pos-
sible by use of lighting experi-
ments being conducted at Sche-
nectady, N.Y.
By putting •one color light
against another in the window
glass scientists hope to neutralize
or "black out" the rays so they
are invisible, or .nearly so, from
the other side of the window.
Goose's Breeding
Ground Found
A mystery in North American
ornithology has been solve: with
the discovery of the breeding
grounds of Doss' goose in .the •
.4 retie,
For 80 years all Arctic explor-
ors and hunters have sought the
breeding grounds. Two Hudson'::
Bay Company post managers, An-
gus Cavin and Ernest Donovan,
were :successful this past summer.
They found the birds nest on
islands in an unnamed lake at the
head of an unsnapped tributary
of the Perry River, about 25
miles southeast of its mouth in
Chester I3ay, Queen Maude Gulf
on the Arctic Ocean.

Etiquette
BY ROBER'IA LEE a
1. When you are a guest in a
home, where the habit seems to
be to keep the radio on all the
time,w,ould it he all right to ask
that r be turned off?
2. 'What is the proper way to
u e a finger bowl?
3. Should one ever ask per-
sonal questions of acquaintances?
4. Isn't it wrong for a per-
son to thrust words of condol-
ence upon you when this person
kows that you would rather pre-
fer not to discuss your sorrow?
5. Is it good form for ei per-
son to talk at length about his
health?
0. How long should a bride
remain at her wedding reception?
Answers
1. Yes. Do not hesitate to do
so. This is a habit which is very
annoying to guests, as well as to
neighbors, and also inconsider-
ate. 2. Dip the fingers of one
hand at a time, not both together,
into the water; then dry them
with the napkin on the knees.
3. Never. The majority of
people resent being asked per-
sona questions. 4. Yes. As Roe -
seen says, - "Conolation indis-
creetly pressed upon us, when we
are suffering under affliction,
only serves to increase our pain,
and to render our grief more
poignant." 0. No. This is very
tiresome to the persons who must
listen and show interest. G Not
longer than two hours.
Shrewd Farmers
I'm often shocked over how
little I remember of all I was
supposed to learn in school writes
Fred C. Kelley in "Your Life
Magazine." About all. I recall
from a course in economics is one
Iitile paragraph in which the
author sought to illustrate how a
plan intended to accomplish one
thing may often have an entirely
opposite effect. In a western
e 5
county wolves were destroying
so many sheep that a reward of
$5 a head was offered for every
wolf killed. The result was that
shrewd farmers started to raise
wolves."
Incban Crafts
Make Progress
Progress in Indian handicraft
industries on reserves in Eastern
Canada is reported by the Indian
Affairs Branch, Department of
Mines and Resources. Many tradi-
tional arts and crafts have . been
revived, and the sales of their
handicraft products are tending to
make the Indian people more self-
supporting: As a step towards the
extension of these home industries
among the Indians of Western Can-
ada, six Indian workers from On-
tario and Quebec are at present
taking part in a demonstration of
Indian handicraft at the Winnipeg
store of the lfndson's Bay Com-
panyio
