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. $ .3 * THE QUESTION BOX Mrs. K.

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.

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.

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.
