'(� T+'• f�U4 h As Russia called on her ally to strike at Germany in the west, Britain staged a demonstration of her invasion forces for Prime Minister Churchill. Here Bren gun carriers roll from one of the much' touted invasion barges that did such a good job in the "practice invasion" of the German -held Lofoten Islands off the coast of Norway. WINO a.111.9t4111191.em.ncp.l,.Yoa.m„70.a41•1F,9®4 OO - HAVE YOU HEARD? Two very weary soldiers were hiking the long, long road back to camp. It was a lovely evening, and presently one paused to ad- mire the sunset and the view. "Isn't it lovely?" he exclaimed. "It makes me feel like the poet. 'Oh, for the wings of a dove,' you know." The other wiped his streaming brow and retorted: "I'd rather have the breast of a chicken, thanks." Pat got a job in a railroad station. When the first train came in, however, he forgot the name of the station, so he called out: "Here ye are for where ye are going. All ht there for here, come out." "Now, children, said the teach- er, after a nature lesson, "I have told you how the little new birds learn to fly. I'll play the piano and I want you to imitate the birds' movements in time to the music." As the music went on, all the children waved their arms ener- getically, with one exception. "Come along, Johnny," said the teacher coaxingly: "why did you not imitate the little newly hatch- ed birds as I told you?" "Please, teacher," replied the irrepressible small boy, "I'm a bad egg!" "Is the doctor in?" "No, sir." "Do you know when he'll be back?" "I don't know, sir — he went out on an eternity case." A male nurse in a mental hos- pital noticed a patient with his ear close to the wall, listening in- tently. The patient held up a finger as a warning for him to be very quiet: then beckoned him over and said: "You listen here." The nurse put his ear to the wall and listened for some time, then turned to the patient and said: "I can't hear anything." "No," said the patient, "and it's been like that all day." There appeared in the Muggleton Times the follow- ing advertisement: "If John Jones, who deserted his wife and babe some twenty years ago will return, the said babe will knock the stuffing out of him."

How can 1 bore a hole in, glass? A. Use a regular steel drill, w . and keep the point of contact saturated with camphorated oil br turpentine. You will be surprised at the ease with which this is done. Q. How can I remove grass stains from white canvas shoes? A. Add a few drops of house'= hold ammonia to one teaspoonful of peroxide. Rub the stains with this solution, then wash off. Q. How can I remove old .wall paper from my walls? A. Use a strong solution of sal -soda and water. Boil the mix- ture and apply while hot.

How can I restore flan- nels, that have become hard and shrunken, to their former soft- ness? A. Soak the flannels in gaso- line for a few hours. Then wash in soft soapsuds as usual, and rinse in clear water of the same temperature. Q. How can I clean old soiled photographs? A. Rub over their surface with some soft, white bread.

They include an eight -roomed house, a six -roomed brick house, a $3,0d0 cosy cottage for a this year's June bride and groom, dis- tinctive for its color and design, and yet so planned that every- thing in it is keyed to the small income of the occupants; an all wood colonial bungalow, a modern ~'small family apartment, and a "live -alone -and -like -it" business women's apartment, so compact and stream -lined that one can sit in the tiny kitchenette, make " toast and coffee with one hand, read the morning paper in the other, and check up on make-up In a strategically -placed mirror above, all at the same time. Furnished Completely These houses will, it is announc- ed, be furnished throughout with furniture, electric fittings, china- ware, • etc., of purely Canadian manufacture. Wallpapers just arrived from bomb -torn Britain will be used on the walls of each of the homes. Individuals speci- ally chosen by the C.N.E. to make up families rr groups will actually demonstrate the livable qualities of these houses and apartments at the Exhibition by living in them. Four At A Time For Beaverbrook The New British Minister of Supply Uses Four Telephones at Once, Talking About Any- thing From Politics to Hair Cuts The British House of Commons was given a word picture of Lord Beaverbrook the other day when his successor as minister of air- craft production, Lieut. -Col. J. T. C. Moore-Brabazon, said "he robbed every hen roost up and down the country to produce planes which never, under any circumstances, could have been produced other- wise." HE DOES IT COHERENTLY "When I visited Lord Beaver- brook," Col. Moore-Brabazon con- tinued, "he reminded me of those fllme where everyone is talking over the telephone at the same time. I found him interviewing four ,people at the same time coherently. He was talking to America over the phone and at the same time ordering a hair -dresser to come around to cut his hair In the of- . eco." Lord Beaverbrok, as minister of supply, is now busy repeating the airplane miracle in the matter of tanks. Grisly Loot In Philadelphia, a thief stole two unlabeled bottles. They contained rat poison and roach powder. In Salt Lake City a thief made off with 15 drawings of a cemetery. Check With Care Food and Water If Holidaying in Out of the Way Places Why Take fa Chance on Contaminated Water or Spoiled Food. Whilst drinxing water supplies have been improved generally, it ie not safe to use water from any and all sources in out of way places, Pollution may be present only at infrequent intervals but why take a chance. Usually a fire Is avail- able and whore this is so, water for drinking or washing raw vegetables or Booking utensils should be brought to' boil before using. If when "vacationng on wheels" a fire is dangerous or out of the question the simplest method of purifying your water is to chlorinate it. This can be performed quite easily by using the chlorine outfit to be had for 60 cents at the Ontario Depart - milt of Health, Parliament Build- ings, Toronto. Vacationists or res- idents unable to conveniently secure their chlorine outfit from the above source may employ the following method: TO PURIFY WATER Prepare a solution by adding half a teaspoonful of fresh ohlorl- nated lime to one pint of water. Use one teaspoonful of this solution to ten gallons of water to be puri- fied, 36 drops to one gallon, or 9 drops to one quart. Let the water stand at least 15 minutes before dosing. The solution should be freshly prepared for each chlorin- ation. Tablets of calcium hypo- chlorite and ampules of the dry powder can be procured for this purpose and are the most satisfac- tory since they do not lose their strength if properly sealed. Food supplies need watching, see that they are properly stored at low temperature. Do not allow food sup- plies to get hot by day and cool off nightly on successive days. Main- tain them at an even low tempera- ture Where ice is used see that the source is reliable. Cheese Output Up 54 Per Cent Substantial Increase Is Seen in Canadian Production For Month of June Over May Figure A 54 per cent increase in Cana- dian cheese production during June was regarded by spokesmen at the agricultural branch of the Dominion Bureau of Statistics as indication that farmers are heeding the gov- ernment plea for increased produc- tion. Bureau figures showed June pro- duction totalling 25,550,190 pounds. 54 per cent in advance of the prev- ious month's output, and 6 per cent ahead of the June make last year, which totalled 24,050,316. MORE CREAMERY BUTTER Creamery butter production in June totalled 40,498,508 pounds, compared with 32,978,810 the prev- ious month, and 40,192,223 in June, 1940.

Ask for Ogden's Cut Plug Should N©t Worry On Your Holiday A few words on how not to worry might not be inappropriate at this time. Some people persist in taking their pet office worry with them on their vacation. Don't. Worry is the most futile of all bad habits. It can do no good. It can cause definite harm. It reacts on the nervous system, causing indigestion and insomnia, which in turn causes more worry and so a vicious circle goes on. Train yourself to accept life for what it is rather than fretting about what it is not. Learn to relax — it is the only means of treating the vicious circle. With rest and relaxation should come less nervous irritability, better sleep, better digestion and fewer worries. This is the only way to break the circle. This is what your holidays are really for. While you can, Rest and Relax. You owe it to yourself, your busi- ness, and to your country.
