the help of trained nurses, doctors, and civilian assistants, however,
this work could not go on. In the picture above the volunteer assist-
ants are preparing equipment for the next days work. Anyone inter,

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

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.

Army under 19 years of age can be

More than 10,000 veterans are now in

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

• 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.

speaking there was a bed& income

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

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.

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.
