One of the 'big war jobs facing we-
ar)/ in town and Country this sum-
err
ummer is canning, jam and jelly peak-
ing.
It has always been considered a
good thing to put up fruit and insure
variety in next winter's diet but this
year the clatter of preserving kettles•
has a patriotic ring. Nowadays it is
vitally necessary to conserve food,•.for'
no-one can tell •what calls will be
made on Canada. by the United Na-
tions at war.,
Fruit has to be put up this year
under the sugar rationing order laid''
down by the Wartime Prices- and
.
Trade Board. This allows pound
of sugar •per pound, of fruit for can-
ning, and 3 pound of sugar per
pound of fruit for jam and jelly mak-
ing. This, of course, means per
pound of -fruit as it is purchased, .or
picked from the trees, not after it
has been pitted and prepared for the
preserving kettle. In order to get
the special canning sugar ration, the
grocer must be toldthe weight of
fruit which is being; `put up" and the
purchaser will by asked to sign a
special voucher for the sugar bought.
Miss Laura ,Pepper, chief of the
Consumer Section of .the Department
of Agriculture reports that maixy wo-
men write to her office asking if it
is passible to make a good jam that
"keeps" within the sugar ,quota. "Our'
answer to that is emphatically Yes,"
says Miss Pepper. "In fact, we feel
that , these new jams made on the
sugar allowance are not only better
for health but they have a truer fruit
flavor and 'better color • than the old-
fashioned "pburid fort pdund," or
sweeter still, the "cup for cup" jam.
For days, that have extended far
into the evenings, experts of the Con-
sumer Section have been working
hard testing out recipesmade under:
the new sugar orders, Here are some

field
of No. 12 E.F;T.S.'(Sky Harbor). The
contract has .been awarded tQ, the
Sandy Contracting & Machine Works
for the levelling off of the ground,
some 430 acres, parte of five farms
located southeast of George Laith-
waite's farm on No. 8 highway. "It's
a good break for us," said Warden
George Armstrong on Friday. "It
means that much of the county's road
machinery, which •might otherwise be
idle on account of the cessation, of
county highway construction, will now
,be profitably employed, also some of
1pur employees." There was •some-
thing in the nature of an informal
Opening ceremony in a field off the
6th concession on Friday afternoon.
Chairman Raymond Redmond of the
road committee; with Reeves Thomas
WWa)st'er and R. E. Shaddick, mem-
betas, were present, as' were the War-
den and members of the contracting
company. Two county graders were
on the ground and the big county
latournier • was on its way from IP-
perwash where it had been employ-
ed on the big .military training' ground
there. That job, it was explained, is
nearly completed. There was a feel-
ing of elation noticeable when it was
learned that the local firm had se-
cured the contract-partieulariy in
county council circles, where there
was a deep interest from the begin
ning. Warden George Armstrong told
a reporter he naturally could' not. say
'just how much money was involved
in 'the', contract or approximately how
much 'the county would receive out
of it, but it•would be a• tidy sum, Un-
successful contractors put •the con-
tract price, at around 350,000 for the
ground ;work only. •The new field is
to be much the same as Sky Harbor,
a sod field, to' be used for the train-
ing of -student pilots, which are ar-
riving in ever-increasing numbers.
Some elementary schools of the Com-
monwealth Plan have recently 'been
turned inti observers' schools, and
other elementary schools (Sky Har-
bor one), have been enlarged to ac-
• commodate students who otherwise
would have trained at what are now
observers' schools. Mr. Sandy said
the contract would last ,well into Sep-
tember,--Goderich•. Signal -Star.

The Bass Are Biting
So say the Newcombe Brothers,
Robert and Jim. TMhese two venerable
gentlemen are spending Manyy pleas-
ant hour fishing for bass,' and on
Monday evening landed in town ;with
four beauties. When we asked them
the length, they just said they were
good fish, and the :bother of measur-
ing them hadn't crossed their minds.
According to Messrs. Newcombe, this
argument about the bass being' wormy
is all hooey. Perhaps some ardent
fisherman started it as a propaganda
stunt to keep other fishermen away.
Bob told us that one of the fish' he
.eaught the other day was so big he
had to get brother Jim to help land

From Great Minds
Truth
Truth is so related and correlated
that no department of her realm is
wholly isolated°-Garffeld.
• ' Humility
It is from out. of the depths of our
humility that the height of our des-
tiny looks grandest. Let me truly
feel that in ,myself I am nothing, and
at once, •through every inlet of m
soul, God comes in, and is everything
in me. -W. Mountford. '
Human Nature ••
The man who has so little know-
ledge
nowledge of, human nature as to seek
happiness by changing anything but
his own dispositions, ,will waste his
life in fruitless efforts; and multiply
the griefs which he proposes to re-
move. -Colton. • -
