The Registration
The registration of Canada's.. man-
power and women power was 'effect-
ed in three days last week, and turn-
ed, out to be net such a personal and
inquisitive business, as a great many
people were rather inclined to be-
lieve it would be.
In fact, many people rather dread-
ed the experience of having to fill
out a registration card, butall found
thlat experience much more simple
and impersonal than had been ex-
pected
xpetted or even hoped for.
This registration was, perhaps,
one of the most -urgent and neces-
'nary steps that Canada has under-
taken since' the beginning of the
war, and when the Bureau of Statis-
tics gets through with :the work that
is being passed on to it by the var-
ious Registrars the people of C.an-
adawill know a lot more about
themselves than they ever knew be-
fore.
All in all it I was a tremendous un-
dertaking, and .its successful comple-
tion was made possible' onlyby the
voluntary assistance given by the
people at large, who responded so
nobly to the Government's appeal
for assistance in making a national
survey..

School Reopening
The. _great controversy over the
question as to whether the schools
would reopen next week 'or have the
opening delayed until the middle of
the month, and ' in :the case of High
Schools, until October, seems to have
subsided as quickly as it arose.
• Under some circumstances and
conditions,.Mr- Hepburn's sugges-
tionthat the reopening of all schools
be delayed, would havebeen a most
• practical and helpful one, but it was
only a °suggestion and there was no
compulsion on the part. of any school'
board' to . obey it. `
It would seem that the great ma-
jority of the school boards do not
consider that either the educational
welfare of the pupils or the farm
labor situation would in any way be
benefitted by delayingthe opening
of the schools. • Consequently the
great majority of secondary schools
and all primary ones will adhere to
the statutory opening date.
•
Flying NOW And Later
We have .been asked many, times
what will become of these great fly-
ing fields that the Government is
building all across Canada, when the
war is over. "
Will they bb left to run to seed, to
rot and decay, even though they re-
, present millions upon millions of dol-
lars, or will flying have advanced so
far, by that time, that they will, or
at least a great many of them, be
needed for commercial aviation pur-
poses?
That is a pretty hard question to
answer, but in the light of history
we are rather inclined to the belief
that commercial aviation in Canada
Will . before a great many years, re-
quire not only all the present . air-
dromes, but also a great many more.
-- An far : as the average : citizen is
concerned, flying to -day is pretty
mach in the samestate as those days
not so very long ago, when everyone
�wa,s debating whether he would learn
to drive the . new' ahorseless car-
riage . or whether° the• fad would
petered out ,before the driving
as aeeorn fished.
o -da . 'the', automobile plays per-
most, important part in the
of,tour daily live& Aviation. ,
and not 'a too distant day,
will occupy a similar place in our
lives. •
The United ,states air lines are al-
ready carrying nine thousand pas- -
sengers daily, and it is confidently
expected that in less than a decade
they will be carrying one hundred
thousand passengers every day. As
the States go, so will Canada, pro-
vided, of course, that Hitler does not
win the war.
In the light of that not improb-
able, but most unlikely, latter and
most unexpected and unpleasant ev-
ent, what Canada would do about
aviation is something else again.
Both the possibility and the proba-
bility then would be that the people
of Canada would do exactly as they
were told, and hasten in the doing
too.
•
Fire Costs Money
In these times of war and conse-
quent high taxation, the •people of
Canada might do well to examine
their yearly fire bill, or in . other
words, the amount of money the
Canadian people lose through fire of
one kind and another.
In fact it wouldn't .take much ex-
amination of our fire losses to come
to the immediate conclusion that fire
costs money and a lot of it too. At
times, of course, fire losses are not
preventable, but over 'a period of
years it is quite evident that Cana-
dians, comparedwith people in other
countries, must be a very careless
people.
In 1939 fire Iosses cost Canadians
over twenty-foUr million, six hun-
dred thousand dollars, and during.
the ten year period, 1929-39, the Can-
adian fire losses ran to the, imposing
total of three hundred ' and eleven
million, six hundred thousand dol-
lars.
Just how careless the people of
Canada are in the matter of pre-
venting fires, is shown clearly by
the fire record of other countries.
Canada's per capita fire loss over
the last ten year period averged
three dollars and thirty-six eents,
while during the same period the loss
in the ' United States was ten cent,.
per person less.
Compared with Europe, the whole
North American Continent , would
appear to be populated with a very
careless people, as is shown by the
fact that England, densely populat-
ed as she' is, suffered a per capita
fire loss of only _seventy-one cents.
And still better is the record . of
France which during the last ten
year period suffered only to the .ex-
tent of fifty-five cents; Italy, twen-
ty-eight cents, and in Austria, only
seven cents per person.
WHAT OTHER PAPERS SAY:
• 'Non -Productive Outlay
('Goderich• Signal)
We are not at ,all impressed with the point
advanced in support of the unemployment insur-
ance nneas+ure, that the contrdbutione of employ-
ers arid employees, amounting -le four or five
million dollars a m+°nth cam, be used to help ,fin-
ance •the vva,r The insurance nneas'are' creates no
wealth; •the four or five million dollars will mere-
ly be diverted from one pocket to another, and
if it is put into the insurance fund it cannot be
paid to the government in income or eaccess' pro-
fit taxes, or used by employers and employees to
• buy war certificates.. Not only does the measure
create no wealth, it will add .to 'the. ?non-produc-
tive expenditures of the country through the cre-
ation of a large new branch of civil service en-
gaged in the administration of, the act.
The Hoover Food Plans
(Kansas City Star)
The plans of Ex -President Hoover to set up au
neutral agency to supply food to the peoples con-
quered by Germany carry a humearitarian appeal.
But 'th,& • question le not so sitalisles it might
seem at Mast thought.
Germany has been confiseatiang the food in the
conquered territories, If she" eau continue toe do
this with the assurance that ge'ueroua Americans
will make gohfi' the deficiency, she will have no-
oomplished her primary purpose of breaking the
British blockade. Yet this: blockade is Britain's
main reliance for winning' the war.
The Nazi a]nbition to dominate Europe and
then the works has plung'ed,.'the continent into
misery. It is forcing the United States to a
program for national defence that will be a heavy`
burden on this country for, generations. Now ' it
is proposed that the' United Stats, •shall . eli,eve
Germany of the obligation of -i+eedin+g the finepies
,who are the Wenn a of icor fOggree:s,ttin.
The burned -tate question to be 'considered, is
whether• siuch hhini'an1tarian aatioru would give
vitenatd to Geffflainey in Winmi the war. If it
WOiild, the :Meat' question whether the causer' of
bitcnnsmdity-, and of Anteriaan security, would not
be better seined, by ref ts1 g .. such aid, ddstres�sr
fag eel stets a fti woulct„ be.

"CHILE SAUCE"
Summer has gone ovee the peak!
You can see it . . . and fuel it . .
The eau's rays seem to bo. tese Warm-
ing . and' the breeze more chill-
ing . °. .- and the harvest fields be-
gin to `look stripped. . . . and: the
Leaves of the trees seene to serape in
place of rustle : . , and you wear
your smock to do the chores . in the
morning.. And then of course the
meet accurate sign of all is the fact
that Mrs. Phil has 'started making
chile sauce.
The preserving kettle is' hauled' out
and the every day sugar sack apron
firmly anchored with a business -like
bow and then "pickling' operations
are under way in earnest. Gleaming
sealers are brought forth and their
tops unscrewed and ali neatly; array-
ed on the top shelf of the back of
the stave.
Rows of tomatoes that were neatly
laid out on bhe bottom pantry shelf
yield their smooth, hides' to nthe boil-
ing water and the paring knife and
come out of the operation looking
like 'bu'ndles of red velvet laced with
red veins. Silver skinned onions' age
held at a respectful arms1ength, and
tears stream copiously as they are
de -hided and chopped into minute
pieces. All go into tthe kettle.
Then comes the 'secret, little form-
ula such as chopping celery . . . a
red or •green sweet pepper . . . the
little added touches that make folks
exclaim -next winter . . . "What ev-
er do you do to make your chile
sauce so good?" . . . and the lady
of the household fidgets in a pleased
way and says, 'Why nothing at all,
you have the same necdpe I use:"
The batter of vinegar and sugar is
poured over the- contents orf the ket-
tle. 'Men comes the 3nyeterious tdt-
-tle bundle of spices wrapped up in, a
cheesecloth bag to be' popped down
into the . depths •of the kettle
and with., a half swist, of the great
spoon thel "chile :sauce to be" is hoist-
ed over the main lid of the stove for
its 'simmering process'.
There's something about the odor
of cooking chile sauce that rivals 'de-
scriptio'ns, on a chilly day. Coming
up nein the bantye tangy smell of
warm vinegar . . . and cooking on-
ions . . , and spicery. . . reminds
a person of the days when as a boy
he would ,sit patiently waiting for the
chance to dip a piece of bread into
the kettle and tineas. atro4+lhog as' quiek-
Iyas poeeible into the back wood+slaed
to avoid detection, 'enjoy the_ tastiness
of fresh -mead* chile' sauce on bread.
Sooner or- later he was -bound to be
caught . . . and with a cuff on the
lug dispatched to some task such as
Piling wood or digging potatoes far
dinner , . , but the thrill of fresh
"chilly" sauce was worth it.
On; plotting day like this the din-
ner may be just a trifle late and in
a... rather absent -caudad way Mrs,
Phil timatee getting it ready . , ,
plainly thinking about the chile sauce
all the time. Usually, just after we
sit down she -ladles a little into a 'cup
cools it slightly and thea sips.
There's a tense moment or two
and then' we know ..that tore chile
sauce is done as for a fleeting sec-
ond a smile comes and goes and ,she
Starts into the buainelss of filling up
the sealers.
The chile sauce . . "Ploppety
plops" into the sealers and one 'by
one they are filled, and lined up on
the free end of the ,table. The kettle
ins tilted and then scraped and .the
last sealer filled and a dishful left
over set up to cool off for supper -
time.
Mrs. Phil straightens up from her
work and with the back of her hands
brushes wisps of hair that have tum-
bled
umbled down over her forehead. Then
with an odd little tighten here and
there( on the. zinc rings • . . . site
slumps down 'Mee chair with the tow-
el .that she's used 'to wipe the sealers
off and frankly admires. her own
+handiwork
"They look good," I usually mutter,
trying to think of something new and
anginal to 'say that would really ex-
press how well the gleaming sealers.
of speckled 'red chile sauce really do
look . . . and thinking of the thrill
of spooning them, out over golden -
brown fried ham • on a frigid day in
the winter that's bound to come.
JUST A SMILE OR TWO:
"Has the depression in agriculture
hit you yetr
"It certainly has: I've sent the
wife back to her mother, the three
children to the Orphans' Home, and
I've sold the

"Yes, and if things get any worse
I in efraid I'll have to sell my car."
•
McGinty: "I've a terrible cern on
the bottonh of my foot."
Pat: "That's a fine place to have
it. "Nobody can 'sten on it -but you."
•
"Is your wife having any success
in learning to drive a ear?
' Wall, the road. is beginning . to
turn When she does."
A weld -dressed woman walked into
the milliner's shop and asked for the
manageress. "I see from your adver•-
tis'ement," she said, "that you have
just received two thousand hats from
Paris."
"That is so; madam."
"(Good," said the woman, as she re-
moved her hat. "I wish to try them
on!"

Two Chicago women, visiting New
Orleans, saw their first Spanish moss.

Way Opened
The formal,opening last week of
the Queen. Elizabeth Way will put,
.int° operationnthe first link in a 1,000
mile.chain of high-speed express -high-
ways with which the Ontario govern-
ment hopes eventually to crisscross
the province.
The road -building program calls for
the construction of trunk roads from
Windsor to„..the Quebec )border and
from Toronto north to the fringe of
the great tourist playground of the
lake c&untry. The work butlined
would have taken to 1960 to 'com-
plete but the war has changed all
that and it is doubtful now when the
project begun with the Queen) Eliza-
beth Way will be taken. up anti com-
pleted. The province has anntounced
a wartime economy policy which per-
mits no capital project.

Is a;tniost -utlldinited, It „aloes' the
place of two odd -style constructions
which together `wee.' inadequate. Bot-
tlenecks. are done away with on this
new divided highway. The improve-
ment is especially noticeable at the
entrance to Toronto from. the west
where a vexing problem existed for
years in the form of a narrow ap-
proach to the city. This has been
replaced with a fourinaile "freeway.”
There ane no intersections for this,
distance and traffic can speed safely
and swiftly to and from' the city. This
section of the road from Toronto to
Hamilton - (the new road •passes

many as, 35,000 ,to .40,000 vehicles on
