To help yourself—and the war ef-

1. Kiddies' mitts from a pair of dad's

2. Mary's felt hat from mother's, by

Storage Batteries
Should Have Care
Many automobile owners are prone
to neglect their car batteries- For
this reason, the question of "care"
should always receive consideration.
Consumer Information Service says
that if reasonable care is given a stor-
age battery., its_ life will be in propor-
tion to its use. On the other hand;
neglect invariably shortens battery
life, and frequently is the cause of pre-
mature failures.
Under the limited driving condi-
tions of today, all car owners should
have their car batteries thoroughly
checked every- two weeks. The ser-
vice station attendant • should take a
definite reading of the specific gravity
and record it. Any indication of gra-
dual discharge should immediately
suggest to the car owner that the bat-
tery be remot d for a thorough re-
charge. A check should be made of
the electrical system of the car to de-
termine whether the charging rate is
sufficient to maintain a constant state
of full charge under the driving -Pondi-
tions or habits of the'. individual
owner.
FR fI NTARIO HIGH TSCHOOLS
ED 011 FARMS This .Slane flat
FROM all over Ontario, young men in Ontario
High Schools and Collegiates are applying to The
Farm Cadet Brigade of the Ontario Farm Service
Force --volunteering their summers to help pro-
duce essential foods for victory.
And it's a grand way to put on muscle and build
up your weight. After a summer on the farm,
you'll come back to school in the fall—hard as
nails, brown as an Indian and `rarin' to go.
You do all the regular work on the farm, and
that's an education in itself, but what's more im-
portant is that you make -one of the greatest con-
tributions to the allied war effort that anyone. can
make by helping produce food for victory. For
certainly, we can't fight if we don't eat.
If you are 15 years of age or older, register
now with your High School or Collegiate
Principal for work with the Farm Cadet
Brigade of the Farm Service Force this
summer. DO IT NOW!

Ancient Shower
In the Royal Ontario Museum there
is an authentic record of- a shower
that fell millions of years ago. A reg-
ularly pitted slab of drab -colored rock
is " proof of, it. Dr. M. A. Fritz,
palaeontologist, explained the phen-
omenon and imagined' the incident in
this way: "The tide was out on some
lonely shore. A dark cloud passed ov-
er. Raindrops spattered and pittel
the muddy surface of the tide -fiat.
Next, the sun broke through, dried
the mud, thus fixing the raindrop im-
pressions. When the tide came in
again it gently spread a new layer of
mud over the pitted surface. In time;
a long, long time, the mud, of this
shore changed to stratified rock, We
split that rock and there is therecord
of an ancient shower.".
The specimen on exhibit in the mus-
eum proves that raindrops of the past
did' not differ essentially, in size or
character, from those of the present
day.

Dig Health From

"Dig health out of your garden," is
the advice given this spring by Nutri-
tion Services, Department of ,pensions
anti National" Health. Canadians co-
operating in the Wartime Victory Gar-
den campaign can assure themselves
not only of plenty of sunshine and
hiealtli'•fu1 exercise but of a sufficient
amount of vitamins to tide them over
next Fall and Winter.
Because the 'demand for vegetables
is greater than ever this year and the
problems of shipping them •across the
continent present more difficulties,
families, wherever possible, should
grow their own to he sure of an ade-
quate supply,
