Budd Manufacturing Company plant, Philadelphia. The two -engine, 68 -foot aircraft with an upsweep after -body giving it the appearance of a'flying whale, Is the first plane in which welded stainless steel has been used to a large extent, the navy said. Doors on opposite sides of the fuselage permit launching of para- troops and supplies simultaneously from both sides in contrast to con- ventional one -door transports. The cargo compartment, 25 feet long, eight feet wide and eight feet high, is made possible by !) a unique manlier of attaching e ging to the :uselage without pass- ing the wing through the fuselage bi the customary fashion. The floor of the cargo compart- ment remains leyel both , on the ground and in flight as the plane is equipped with a tricycle landing gear. The ship is capable of carrying 'A0,400 pounds over a range of 050 utiles, but its maximum range can be increased to 3,500 miles with auxiliary fuel tanks. Two 710 -horsepower engines give it a cruising speed of 165 miles an hour. Total weight fully loaded le 33,800 pounds. The Conestoga can be convert- ed to troop transport or ambulance use, and an ambulance and jeep both can be carried inside. Modern Etiquette By ROBERTA LEE 1. How can a host or, hostess di- vert a guest without seeming rude if he seems determined to monopo- lize the conversation? 2. If a man stops to talk for a minute with a girl whom he meets on the street, should he turn his hack when leaving her? 3. On which side of the should the spoons be placed dinner table? 4. Is it permissible for a bride to have her mother acknowledge the wedding gifts? 5. Is it permissible for a host or hostess to specify the length of time covered by an invitation for' a visit? 6. Is it correct to have one's ini- tials .on a visiting card? tehh '. : ANSWERS I. Af 'tlre.`very first pause ask some other guest if he won't re- late some interesting incident or experience. 2. He should wait for the girl to turn first, before he turns to:walk away. 3. On the right side of the plate. 4. No; personal notes should be written by the bride. They -may be brief and should be sincere and express genuine appre- ciation for the gift.. 5. Yes, and it will often prevent misunderstand- ings and embarra'ssnlent. 6. The faultlessly correct card bears the full, name. plate on the OTTAWA REPORTS, That Dominion Reconstruction Committee Advocates Standard Of Farm Homes Be Raised The farm home, long overlooked in cammunity planning, comes in for consideration in the report of the Dominion Reconstruction noCo- m mitres appointed by ment at Ottawa. The building of 94,000 farm dwellings in the first ten years af-' ter the war is recommended by the subcommittee on Housing and Community Planning. In the same period the subcommittee's report urges repair of 188,000 farm homes. It also advocates new homes for those now sharing their homes with other families, and provision of cottages for farm laborers. Two out of every five farm dwellings in Canada arc in need of repairs to foundations, walls, roofs, chimneys, winddi S or doors, the report of the subcommittee ad- vises. Four out of five have no electricity. In every •100, 03 lack bathing facilities or flush toilets. Examining this report, Frank Shefrin, a Dominion Department of Agriculutre economist, com- ments, "For the first tinie we have . a report on housing and commu- nity planning which deals not only with the shelter of urban dwellers but makes specific recommenda- tions... to raise substantially the standard of farm housing." * * * Cheddar cheese production in May was approximately 20 million lbs., or a little aver 34% above that of May, 1943. It is the highest re- corded production since monthly records were first compiled in 1936. Answer To Alcohol Shortage: Poison Gas Those thirsty folks who wonder how the war effort can absorb practically the whole distilling eapacity of this continent were given an answer by a War Produc- tion Board head who had appeared before a U. S. Senate committee, "slates the Winnipeg Free Press. The main answer, he said, was "poison gas." This does not mean that the United Nations propose to initiate the use of this dreadful weapon of war, but Dr. W. G. Whitman of WPB made it amply clear that, if this Axis starts using it we will immediately follow suit, and that we do not propose to be caught on a "too little and too late" basis. Alcohol is a principal ingre- dient of poison gases. It is also used for explosives and other war purposes, but poison gas ` stock piles are what are chiefly in mind now as the distillers keep on turn - lug out industrial alcohol.

Among the leading commodities exported were wheat and wheat flour; seeds, fishery products; eggs and meats; planks and boards; wood pulp, newsprint paper; motor vehicles and parts; chemicals, cartridges and shells; guns, rifles and fire- arms. The United Kingdom re- ceived goods to the value of $140,- 249,000, and the United States, 3131,865,000. Other leading count- ries to which shipments were made included Italy.

Even The Lowly Cattail Goes To War It seems like a far cry from the common cattail of the marshlands to life preservers and sleeping bags, but recent events have found a commercial outlet for the hitherto useless cattail, says the Calgary Herald. The round, sausage- shaped fruiting heads of the plant are compact masses of seeds, bear- ing hair-like appendages by which the seeds are wafted -about in the wind. These threads are hollow, light and fluffy - an excellent material for buoyancy and insula- tion. Hence, their value for life pre- servers! Why not also for sleeping bags? Now the cattail harvest is a thriving business in many mar- shes, and a new plant industry has been born. An antelope has been timed to run at a speed of fifty miles an hour.
