The °Question Box
Mrs. R. B. asks: "Why does chili
sauce, cooked in an enamel pian, turn
a brownish color?'"
Answer: Allspice and cloves tend
to ,darken 'sauces more than other
spices. We suggest exact measure-
ments of the seasouings.
Mrs. K. F. asks: "Will a zinc tub
be all right to soak cucuibers in
brine?"
Answer: No. We suggest that you,
put them in two or three crocks or
enamel basins in preference to zinc+
or tin containers. _ 1

letter from Arthur MacNamara, Di-
rector of National Selective Service,
adking 'for their co-QUQration in the
• saving of vital crops, by giving leave
of absence to their able bodied enr-
ployees—wherever possible-=f'or bar-
vesting; The ' letter 'also .intimated
that .the Department ' of Labour, • by
arrangement with the railways, will,
run a harvest excursion to the Prairie'
Provinces late in August and early in
September, and for this the granting
of temporary leave to experienced
farmers, or other able-bodied persons
in industry is sought. The govern-
ment will provide men going West
for harvesting with return tickets at
a cost of $1Q. to the men. Mr. Mac-
Namara says that employers in other
provinces will also be invited to give
leave to men for harvesting in their
localities.
The response of the farmers Of
Canada to the•appeal of the govern-
ment to raise. more sugar' beets to
ease the .sugar situation is indicated
in cold figures, . The Dominion-Pre-
vincial Agricultural ,conference in De-
cember last year set an objective for
1944,of 63,400 acres, but latest reports
is that the 'actual acreage contracted
for between the companies and grow-
ers'this year totalled 71,438 acres. At
the middle of June, Ontario : reported
plantings of 16,000 acres; Alberta, 30,-
000; Manitoba 1'0/00, and Quebec 9,-

Consumer Branch tip to' women to
make shoe's Iast longer and wear bet-
ter: Women buying shoes for their
children are urged to see they are
the right size and fit. When the
children come' in with wet shoes, do
not place them over direct beat to
•dry—such procedure bakes' the soles,
weakens leather fibres and • causes
them tobreak down. • Rather, wet
shoes _should be' filled with •newspa-
pers and allowed• to dry in normal
temperatures. Ancrpolish them,
Until November 15th farmers may
use their trucks to transport harvest
help, and. a general permit has been
issued for the harvest season exempt-
ing farm truck owners from' the ban
on carrying passengers -except in the
cab of a vehicle operated for trans
porting. goods. It does not, however,
exempt' one from provincial or 'muni-,
Cleat truck' regulations or the 35 -mile
travel limit on trucks not transport-
ing .farm goods. Special -provisions
are, of course, in effect allowing the
conveying of persons to and from
church or.•.religious ceremonies or, for
medical assistance.

Greater than any corresponding per-
iod in 'history of Canadian commerce
was the , value of ur exports during
the first six months "of 1944, a total
of $1,746 million, an increase 'of ,$468
millions over the same period• last
year. Canada's contribution to the
fighting • strength of 'the Allies is
something we can point:to with pride.
Just, a few items for comparison with
the last, six -months period- We sent
motor vehicles. such as tanks and
trucks to th'e value of $234,000,000,
nearly .$60,000,000 more than a year
ago. Wheat export at $196 millions
was a great advance :over the $80,-
000,000 in the period a year ago,
Meat were, almost doubled, as was
flour, fish" and eggs. It is notable
that wool' exports advanced from
$1,400,000 to $10,700,096. • ' ,
