- Hello Homemakers! Lent is here
again. -- the season when meats• part
cttnnpany with the- daily vegetables
•arid the alternative proteins move up
in rant. Thie is the time we -find fish,
eggs, cheese, milk and legumes re-
placing meats and therefore high-
lighted on our Nutri -thrift Menu. They
are easier on your pocketbook, too.
Wartime cookery -"with the emph-
asis on saving both food values and
fuel -tells us that .these protein foods'
require constant temperatures alad ex-
act cooking periods. Here's a sug-
gestion: to enhance the flavour of
eggs and legumes, serve them accom-
panied by turnips, cabbage or onions.
To add zest to dishes, cook green veg-
etables with fish; to keep down your
budget, open your home -canned string

TAKE A TIP:
On Preserving Leather Goods
1. Badly stained leather may be clean-
ed with Ozal acid solution (2 tea-
spoons to 1 cup water) -remember
it is poisonaus. Do leather all ov-
er. Use shoe paste in two thin
coatings. )f. article is brown, use
brown shoe paste. Do not use
treatment often.
2. Keep heavy leather shoes in condi-
tion by applying- layers of dubbin
• grease. (Goose grease is excel-
lent). Use palm of hand to smooth
" in gradually.
3; Do not use anything on hand bags
whioh will soil your clothes. Ord-
inary leather Cases, such as utility
cases, may be given a thin coat of
varnish or shellac.
4. It is advisable to keep patent lea-
ther bags or shoes for warm spring
or summer days - patent leather
cranks easily in cold.
5. Dark leather shoes may be treated
. with a thin coat of wax,
6. 'If fine leather articles get very wet,
press into shape while wet (or wet
again and press into shape). Then
pad, wipe thoroughly and let ..dry
at room o temperature -do not put
near heat.

Text of announcement of- the
National Farm Labour Policy for
1943, made by the Hon.. Humplmey
Mitchell, Minister of Labour, in
-the House of Commons, February
26, 194e.
The national farm labour pelicyl of
1943 Balls for bhe closest co-ordination
of the Federal and Provincial Depart-
ments of Agriculture, other Federal
and Provincial Departments, national
and local farm organizations and the
co-operation of citizens in general.
1. Stabilizing Employment in Agri-
culture:
The following measures have recent-
ly
ecently been taken to strengthen the estab-
lished policy of the Government to
stabilize employment in agriculture;
in other words, to keep essential la-
bour on the farms.
(a) Under P.C. 246, Jan. 19, 1943,
no person employied in agriculture
shall accept other employment except
for:
(1) Active service in the Armed
Forces.
(2) lee may take temporary employ-
ment not exceeding sixty days in any
calendar year outside an urban mun-
icipality with a population over 5,000
but not for a longer time unless he
has obtained a permit from an Em-
pioyinent and Selective . Service Of-
flee.
f.lice. -All Employment, Offices, have
been instructed that permits should
not be given to those who are casette
tial to agriculture. Provision leas
been made to allow for the seasonal
employment of agricultural workers
in logging, lumbering, mining and
fishing, when they can be spared from
the farms.
(b) Under 'the Mobilization Regula-
tions farmers and farm workers ap-
plying for postponement of military
service shall be granted such post-.
penement until further notice unless
it is established to the satisfaction of
a Mobilization Board that they are
not essential to agriculture.
(cY An interpretative letter was
sent on February 1st to the Chairman
of each Mobilization Board to ensure
I thawed out at room temperature, to
save electricity, then baked. If not,
fat and water spatter more, requiring
more time W clean utensil.
Mr. S. T. asks: "Where is fish cook-
ed, and is the nutritive value lost' in
over -cooking?"
Answer: Fish requires a short
cooking period.' When fish separates
or flakes it is done. over -cooking
drains out nutritive fish oils and also
makes it unpalatable.

LUNCH BOX STRATEGY
Lunch boxes have a real job today -for it they are packed with
the right foods, they will help keep Canada's war workers at the peak
of heett'h and efficiency. Sausage roll wiith a vegetable salad, whole
wheat bread and butter, a bran muffin, gingerbread and an apple; an
extra ohe tucked in for the mid -shift rest period and a thermos of
hot cocoa, make a lunch a man can work on.

•,2. Dominion -Provincial Co-operativ
Farm Labour Activity:
For the past three years a ver
successful activity was carried on i
Ontario on' a dollar for dollar ibasi
jointly by . the DoQninion and th
Province whereby workers consisting
of men and women and students from
urban centres were recruited for farm
work.
Last year a number of other Pro
nit r
vies e
e e ed into a similar agree
ment. The salient features of thes
agreements, in which the Federal De
partment of Labour shared the ex
penditures equally with the Province
concerned, were as follows:
In Ontario, the financial assistant
was used to expand the activities o
the Farm Service Force. This Fore
was made up of high school students
university students, school teacher
and townspeople during vacation and
spare hours. Under this arrangemen
over 50,000 placements were made on
farms during the 1942 season; 50,000
persons were made available for far
mers who otherwise would not have
gone near a farm.
In Nova Scotia, assistance in fruit
picking operations in the Annapolis
Valley was provided.
Agreements . were made with each
of the three Prairie' Provinces to pro-
vide financial 'assistance for the re-
cruiting, transporting and placement
of emergency help for harvesting op-
erations.
In British Columbia, the financial
assistance was used in carrying out
special measures to meet the labour
requirenients for fruit picking.
This Dominion -Provincial co-opera-
tive plan will beexpanded andfur-
ther developed- this year in all Prov-
inces. Already conferences to this
end have been conducted. Sugges-
tions have been made that we develop
a woman's land army -well you - see
we have had three years of • success-
ful experience with a much broader
scheme in Ontario and to a lesser de-
gree in other Provinces.
This year we will exceed our 50,-
000 individuals of 1942 in Ontario and
do equally well in other Provinces,
3. Return of Workers to Agriculture
From Seasonal Employment:-
Arrangements through the Employ-
ment and Selective Service Officers
are planned and will go into effect to
ensure that farmers and farm work-
ers erfgaged in seasonal employment
in logging,. lumbering and other seas-
onal work return to agriculture in
time for spring, work. These men
were encouraged to leave agriculture
during the winter, when they could. be
spared, on the , understanding that
they would go backt to the farms in
the spring.
Tbere are some 175;000 hien who
were moved from farms for winter
work whn must return to agriculture;
otherwise they will lose their rights
to postponement under the Mobiliza-
tion Regulations,
The Employment Offices will not is-
sue permits to them for work in any
other industry.
Positive assurance therefore exists
teat this large ,body . of men will be
available for 1943 farm work.
4. Existing Pools of Manpower' To
Be Tapped:
There are several sources from
which we will recruit farm labour, a
few* of which are:
(a) Prisoners• of War -The Labour
Department will explore the possible
use of,prtsoners of war on farms'and.
will assume the responsibility for tele
activity, .
(b) Japanese in Canada -w - Alread
representatives of the sugar beet
growers of Alberta and Ontario have
representatives in the Japanese towns
in British Columbia negotiating for
Japanese labour. We used these men
shccessfully in Alberta, Manitoba and
to a lesser degree, in -Ontario last
year. In 1943 we expect etill greater
success.
d (c) Indians on Reserves - Treaty
n? Indians from the Reserves will be us-
e ed on farms. ,This was tried out last
a fall and proved' satisfactory and will
e be further developed this year.
a (d),• Other Sources -Other spumes
- of potential farm manpower will be
explored. These include recruitment
- and training of women for driving
farm equipment; use of civilian in-
; ternee's; use of men discharged from
d the Armed Forces and numerous
d others. •
y 5. Drawing From Industries:
A survey will be made, and based
e on same, industries which ,can do so
without impairing the war effort will
y be required to reelase men and wo-
n men suitable for farm work. This
s may mean that during, the rusb sea-
e sons some 'industries may be closed
, temporarily.
6. Direction to Agriculture of Per-
sons Unfit for Military Service:
The authority provided under • Na-
- , n 1 • Selective Service Regulations
e will be used to direct to agriculture
unmarried men who are called for
_ military' service and are found to be
s unfit and who in the opinion of the
• National Selective Service Officer are
e suitable for farm work. These men
f will be directed to productive farms
e where labour is needed.
The Government will pay transpor-
s tation and if found necessary will
make an injtial allowance for work
t clothing. Furthermore, the Depart-
ment will see to it that the man is
paid promjltly, •
7. Mobility of Labour:

farm labour so that manpower may

8. Local Agricultural 'War Commit-
tees
Local egrtqultu;a1 war committees,
in colautries, tOetaalttPs, pardsi es and
municipalities have alreadybeen, es-
tablished by 'several of the Provinces
to promote organized -effort in 'local
•communities ito meet X943 farm pro-
duction goals. Other Provineea have
this same plan under consideration.
Such committees can assist greetly hi
carrying out, the details of the Farm
Labour Program.,
The committees would be asked to
perform the following functions:
(a) To encourage within the local
area the best use of existing farm
manpower through the efficient plan-
ning and management of farm opera-
tions, farmers working together where
practical, the sharing of labour, and
the co-operative 'use of farm machin-
ery,
(b) To determine seasonal and full-
time farm labour requirements in the.
community.
(c) To 'encourage the transfer of
labour from low to high productive
farms and to work with provincial ag-
ricultural representatives,• other pro-
vincial field men, and local Ennploy-
ment and Selective Service Officers in
facilitating the placement of ,the,most
productive farms of workers brought
in from other sources"
(d) To assist provincial field men
and employment officers in recruiting
farmers and farm workers who can
be spared from agriculture during the
slack seasons for work in other es-
sential primary- industries.
(e) Supplying information regard-
ing the essentiality, or otherwise, of
farm workers whose cases are under
consideration by. the , Mobilization
'Boards when requested to do so. The
local committees could be of assist-
ance by reporting `the facts regarding
ing men who .have not made them-
selves essential to agriculture by in-
creasing production on the farm
where they are working or by moving
to a farm • where their services are re-
quired. They could also report men
who are unwilling to undertake es-
sential seasonal worlr, elsewhere When
they can . be spared from agriculture:
Such reports will be made available
to National Selective Service officials,
the representatives of National De-
fence and Agriculture, appearing be-
fore the Mobilization Board and taken
in conjunction with reports received
from Recruiting, Committees and oth-
er ••sources will enable the Board to
reach a decision on
basedb the facts.
Encouragement will be given to
those at present on low productive
farms to move to more productive
farms. Each Province will be request-
ed to explore this possibility' and to
develop detailed plans which will best
fit the local necessities.
10. Experienced Farmers `Will Be
Used to Advise:
(a) Appointment of Regional N.S.S.
officials with farm" experience: . Qual-
ified men with agricultural experience
will be appointed to •the employment
staff of each region and where neces-
hsary within individual provinces,
(b) Agricultural Division of the La-
bour Supply Branch: An agricultural
division of the Labour Supply Branch
has been established. On its stag
are men experienced in agrlcrtlitu re. •
' (c) Close Faison with Federal De-
.partment
D 'partment of Agriculture: A close eon -
tact 'will be maintained between this
agricultural division and the Federal
and Provincial Departments of -Agri-
culture.
(d) Representation of Agriculture
on N.S.S. Advisory Board: An out-
standing farmer who is a member of
the Canadian Federation of Agricul-
ture has been added to the National
Selective Service Advisory Board,
11. Discussion) of ,Program with,
Provincial Authorities:
This program will be sent at once
to each Provincial' Department of Ag-
riculture and Labour to be followed
by detailed discussions in each Pro-
vince between their respective of-
ffcials and representatives of the
Department of. Labour immediately.
Serve Tomatoes
Because tomatoes contain acid
which helps preserve ,Vitamin C, this
vegetable retains more of its vitamins
than others when canned, says Nutri-
tion Services; though the old enemies
-air, heat; water and soda are ever
on the alert to get in, their destrucc-
tive work on this precious vitamin.
Tomatoes, fresh or canned, rank
next to citrus fruits as our best food
source of vitamin C. Canned toma-
toes or tomato juice should be serv-
ed as often as possible during the
winter, especially when citrus- fruits
are not obtainable.
Here are some tips that will help
keep the vitamins in the tomafoes
v, here they ibelong:
Never use soda with tomatoes or -
any other vegetable -it's death on vit-
amin C; t0 prevent tomato soup from
curdling remember the jingle, "Put
red into white; if you don't you'll be
blue." Just another -way of saying
that the tomato should be added to
the milk, not the other way around.
Heat tomatoes in a .covered pax
without stirring.
Don't cook longer than necessary;
add to soups and stews at the last
minute.
If only part of a can of tomatoes
or juice is used, put the rest into a
covered dish; keep it cold and use it
80Vit00.
amin C •will do m• uch to keep
us healthy but it can't- do its
job unless we do ours. .Our job is
to prepare .the foods that contain
it in a manner 'thai will retain it.
