Single Men who must now register are those who were • born in any year from 1902 to 193 inclusive, and who did not previously undergo medical examination under the Military Call-up. Men actually in the Armed Services are exempt under this order, but men discharged from the Services, not previciusly medically examined under the Military Call-up, must now register. "Single Men," referred to, now required to Agister inclucle any man- • born in any one of the years mentioned, who has not previously been medically examined for the military call-up,. and described as follows: -"who was on the 15th day of July, 19400,' unmarried or a widower without child or children or has since the said day been divorced or judicially separated or become a widower without child or children." It is pointed out that any man unmarried at July 15th, 1940, even if married since that date, is .till classed as, a "single man.' Registration is to be made en forms available with Postmasters, National Selective Service Officea, or Registrars of Mobilization Boards.

The Arnty„ Active strength now, approx. 430,000 Pre-war strength , approx. 4,500 Organization of the two array corps which comprise the Canadian Army in Britain was completed on January 16 with the appointment of Major-Gener- al E. W. Sansdm to command the armoured corps, with the rank of lieu- tenant -general. The Canadian Army has been in Britain for more than three years, training and preparing to. repel any attack or launch an offensive against the Axis when the time is dipe. Han - nen Swaffer, London newspaper col- umnist, recently described the Cana- dian Army as a "revelation, a wonder of scientific skill." A group of Canadian officers and non-commissioned officers arrived in North Africa about the beginning Of the new year. While comparatively small, the detachment included -repre- sentatives of ipractically every type of unit -armoured regiments, infantry, artillery, supply and commUilications services and some medical officers. These were 'the first members of the Canadian Army to join .the Allies in this battle area. They ,were despatch- ed from the Canadian .Army in Bri- tain to gain battle , experience with the British First Army in Tunisia. They will remain in the North African theatre of war for several months, learning all they ca -n of battle condi- tions, and then return to England to pass on the information to their un- its. In Canada the 6th, 7th and 8th Di- visions are completing their training on the pattern of the overseas force, and at the same time filling an urg- ent protective need against possible sea and air attacks. Canadian soldiers have taken part in raids on the European coast. Apart from the Dieppe engagement the Can- adidn raid on Spitzbergen 'was the largest raid of this nature. , Canadian soldie,rs are serving or have served in Newfoundland., Iceland, the West Indies and Bermuda. Cana- dian engineering units have built roads in Britain and have worked on the fortifications of Gibraltar. Al! Canadian Army training is' closely co-ordinated with that of Bri- tain and the United. States. 'training in Canada is integrated with training in Britain and there is an extensive two-way exchange of officers between the Canadian Amity in Britain and the Canadian Army in Canada. Training of Canadianrecruits is carried out at two types of centres, hasip and advanced. At one of the numerous basic training centres in the Dominion the recruit is taught the fundamentals of soldiering: discipline, rifle drill, the use of modern infantry weapons, map reading and field man- oeuvre. When the soldier from a bas- ic training centre moves to an ad- vanced Centre he learns the art of his particular arm: artillery, engineeri, signals, or some other branch of the service. Training of troops is being brought to completion so far as practicable in Canada so that when they are sent abroad they will be prepared for ac- tual combat. The Canadian Army has won the following decorations: Victoria Cross 1, George Cross 1, Companion of the Bath 4, Commander of the Order of the British Empire 6, Distinguished Service Order 12, Officer British Em- pire 18, Member 'British Empire 41, Royal Red Cross (First Class) 3, Mili- tary, Cross. 16, Royal Red Cross (Sec- ond 01a,ss) 6, Distinguished Conduct Medal 13, Military Medal 50, George Medal 3, British Empire Medal 42, Mentioned in Orders 92, Brought to notice in Orders'il, Commendatiens 25, Belgian Military Crass (First Class) 10, ,Belgian Military Cross - (Second Class) 2, Belgian Decoration 2.

Lieutenant -General A. G. L. Mc- Naughton recently revealed that the lessons learned at Dieppe last August were made use of by the Allies in their North African landings. Reserve units of the Army are formed in 11 brigade groups across the Dominion, -equivalent to four divi- sions. Strength of the Reserve Army is about 110,000. A brigade, group in each of eleven military districts is 'under the com- mand of the fulil time commander of the.Active Army. The most modern weapons are provided these Reserve units and they are given regular weekly training periods, as well as an annual training period in camp. Canada's pre-war army of 4,500 was maintained for the primary purpose of training reserve troops. The great wartime expansion of the army was :built on thin small nucleus. While no member of the Canadian Army under 19 years of age can be sent overseas, 17-year-olds c may enlist s "boys," atter obtaining the consent of their parents. They go through a course of training suitable to theii. years, then are assigned to trades schools.: The Veterans Guard of Canada is composed of men who .served with the, armed forces of the Empire during the First Grcut War and are not over 55 years of age These men are -mem- be.irs of the Active Army, liable to service anywhere, at home or iabroad. More than 10,000 veterans are now in this service. Canadian Aftny casualties from the beginning of the .war to- December 25, 1942, were as follows: Fatal casualties, enemy action, 715; death, all other causes, overseas, 739; deaths, all causes, in 'Canada, 26; missing 606; prisoners of war, includ- ing interned, 3,570; wounded, non-fat- al, enemy action, 787. Make Cannin g Plans- Now Canadian :women, especially those who live on farms and in the smaller towns and villages, have always been justifiably proud of their well -stocked shelves of - canned fruits,-- jams and jellies. They can look forward to having. the same well -stocked' shelves again this year, only it will be necessary to decide in advance how much fruit they will "do up," in order that they can get the sugar they will need. The Government is urging women to .can .. fruit this year rather than make it into jam or jelly. The whole idea- behind the home canning pro- gram is conservation -conservation of Canada's perishable fruits -the wild as well as the cultivated ones -'and •at the , same time- conservation of sugar. Three poilincls of sugar will make six quarts of canned fruits and will conserve a pnroxirn,ately ten pounds. of fruit but it will only make two quarts of jam or jelly, conserv- ing less than half that amount of fruit. Another important point is that more food vnlue is conserved when fruit is canned than when it is made into jain or jolly. To 'help women plan, next summer's canning now, a Canning Guide has been prepared and is being' delivered through the post office to every+biouse- holder.i, The information contained in 'to, important and should be 01101'1111y studied • This advance planning and the writ- ten application for sugar for canning are necessary in order that the Sugar Administratren of the Wiartime Prices and Trade Board can provide the niec.- essany• sugar. the- "_Application For Canning Sugar" will be found in the new ra- tion book and the form must be fielled in and returned to the nearest local Ration Board hefore April 15th. „astern'' Oannan; 09.• West% w gog 3P Z- in oneAVay 4.1ses Sections aid 11Ht444ij compue 4's 6:epa:tely711fejtorEa4stg° *AZ West, as essentially recinirett The administratien •Imowa therh will be a bigger demand for farrn a- chinry this year because general -1Y speaking there was a bed& income ln 1942 and farmers will want in, creased and better plant fedi/ties, Li- bor will be scarce. So 1th5n, what better than, a rationing system? "We studied the British system and that of the 'United States to guide us if possible," said Mr. Bloom. Out of •the enmulative study and research they evolved what they consider the most simple and .least expensive way to work out the farm machinery and equipment problem which is national- ly important in scope. Here it is in a nutshell, just as easy for the city slicker to under- stand as for the farmer. In the re- gional boards across Canada, fourteen machinery' rationing officers daave been appointed,. Acting as a consult- ant in each case with out additional remuneration is an Agricultural Re- presentative. He might be the sup- erintendent of an experimental sta- tion or onequalified and delegated by him to assist. As a further consult- ant to the' rationing officer, some prominent farmer of the region is chosen who has the confidence and respect of the others. His judgment is used in dealing with "border line" cases because -as we negledted to mention earlier -the individual farm- er can make application to the ration- ing officer for farm machinery he thinks he essentially requires. The mechanism for appeals is also provid- ed forProblems Well Understood Well, that's' the story I got from the boss of farm machinery, boiled down to the space available. They realize the labor shortage presents, difficulties. They are sympathetic to the fact that .a farmer can't get every-. thing he wants for replacement or new equipment. But they're making every effort to be fair and equitable to all with the amount at disposal of the country as a whole. That means harder Work, taking care of present equipment to make it last longer: Te farmer likes to grouse just as the soldier does, but they both give when it's needed. BecaUse there's a serious war going on the farmer will, we think, without hesitation, do the best be can to make machinery go 44!

Saving Food - Good housekeepers in the towns and on the farms across Canada have always had the knack of malting food isupplies go a long way, but it is par- ticularly important in these busy war- time days that nothing be wasted. The following tips which help housewives get the most out of their foods in money, flavor and nutritional value are contained in the pamphlet, "Foods For Home Defense," issued 'by the Consumer Section, Dominion De- partment of Agriculture. Save the water in which vegetables have been cooked to add to soups and sauces. Carrot tops and green leaves from celery will all interest to stews. If the celery leaves are cut up fine they can be used with other greens M salads, or as herbs in meat loaves. Edible fats from kitcbeu, cooking should be used again in 4-,00king. In- edible fats should be tuyned over to local salvage committees for war use. Dry bread.orusts and stale bread can be dried out and rolled into crumbs with a rolling pin. They can find a usein meatandfish loaves, and as a topping for casserole dishes. Remember to cook meats on low heat. Br doing this shrinkage &nd drying out is prevented and power is saved. Vegetables tort dinner should never be prepared and then left. stand- ing in cold water for a long time be- fore being cooked. Small amounts of water should be used in the pan. Leav- ing them in water .after cooking is finished destroys valuable flavor and food elements and should, ,be avoided. • OSE MU$TRD OR Disufits:Ihat lye i4 be wo4ecl. in w4tor IticY,4feW quantity Of dry mazot4r4,,,cor, soda added. , BRITISH RATIONIRG A British wife deem:01)41.741g husband to the tailor where, ite buying a. suit finde, it costa 2.0? points, more than balf Yvar„0 clothing ratioh.

RATION COUPON BANKING Beginning March ist, the 3,2.00 branches of the Chartered Banks of Canada, undertake another wartime service, namely Ration Coupon Banking. It is a vital part of the nation-wide rationing program. 9aca *ea Soda Zatiat 1 If you are a merchant, jobber, wholesaler or other dealer receiving ration coupons from your customers, your bank stands ready to show you how to deposit or otherwise deal with the coupons you receive. The same applies if You are a "quota -user." 2 It has nothing whatever to do with your regular bank account, in which you deposit dollars and draw cheques in dollars: 3 It is purely a relationship between dealers and cbmmercial banks. Ration Banking begins only after the consumerhas used his coupons to purchase rationed commodities. 4 The banks' job is mainly of an accounting nature -acting as an agent of the Ration Administra- tion, Wartime Prices and Trade Board, under carefully defined regulations. 5 Ration Coupon Banking relieves the Ration Ad- ministration of the tremendous burden of hand- ling, verifying and accounting for used coupons with which consumers have obtained their supplies. 6 if you'are a consumer only, it in no way affects how much or how little of rationed commodities you receive. Banks do notissue ration coupons, nor do they have anything to do with the actual rationing of commodities. By this important addition to the many wartime services they perform the Chartered Banks serve the nation, facilitate business; and seek to save time and expense to the coientty. 6 7'4 • j. - • • 1r, ' „'„, .
