Be sure you shake clothes thorough- ly to remove creases . use coat hangers for dresses and blouses (two wooden ones, hooked together so they stay put on the line). Best, if not always practical, to iron dresses before they are quite dry. We're talking about optimum conditions— you figure out your own routine from there. It's time -saving in the end to fold' articles neatly the minute you unpin them from the clothesline. A jumbled up clothes basket means more ironing time. And when you're sprinkling don't overdo it, that means more ironing too!. Another tip, warm water penetrates more quickly than cold. • FISH STORY Time was when the oil in a tin of fish, wentedown the drain without a thought by Tod. But not now . . . oh no . . .

The' Con- sumer Branch in Ottawa has had en- quiries, for instance: "Do 1" need to collect preserves- coupons at the rate of one for every two pounds when I supply my doctor with honey in lieu ot money for his bill-?" "Does my feed dealer need to surrender coup- ons when I sand him honey instead of money 'to settle my account?" The answer is that coupons must be ere, lected from the doctor to cever, the amount of .honey he takes and the same .holds true for the teed dealer. These may be. turned in to the Local Ration. Board at the end of the month. However, farmers' wives don't surren- der coupons for honey consumed in their own homes. * * The Chief of the Fur Grading and Inspection Services in Ottawa re- ports that fur farming is really a big business: in.; Canada, representing an investment of some. $40,000,000. In 1943 the value, of Canadian raw fur production, pelts sold from: fur farms and caught by trappers hit a new re- cord, a27,694,000. Mink topped the list with nearly $6 million, muskrats second with a value of $5% million; then silver foe avith•$4% million and coyotere or prairie wolf, $3 million. He states •that with lifting of restrictions recently "Persian Lamb promises to ,be a leader for women's coats 'this coming -winter, pelts coming princi- pally from Southwest Africa and Per- sia. Before the war Britain maraet- ed about 65 per cent. of the output of Canadian silver fox pelts, but that market being closed since 1939, the U.S.A. • market ' has been open for about 70,0001ts per year. We pro- duced about 385,000 silver fox pelts in 1939, but production was down to 140,000 last year. Quality, however, was definitely higher. * * • ,Deapite the' drain of young people ,from the farm due to war's exigen- cies, interest in junior . farm club work is being maintained. The an- nual national championships ,. event for 1944 will be held at Toronto dur- ing the week beginning November 19 with contests for dairy cattle, beef cattle, swine, poultry, seed grain and potato projects followed by educa- tional tears ending in Ottawa, Friday, Nov. 24th. : 4. ',Books by the. thousand have. been packed and shiPped, by ,Canadian 'Array personnel in Toronto for Cana- dian prisoners of war in Germany. The German government, of aourse, stipulates what they can Or cannot read. Many prisoners request books providing "food for thought." Many are meeting Shakespeare and Dick- ens for the first time. Favorites are the stories of Sabatini, Galsworthy, Buchan, bumas. Prisoners watch eagerly .for , Canadian writers and works. 333 The June report of the Wartime Bureau of Technical Personnel shows there is a continued shortage of tech- nical persons in certain specialized lines. This situation has existed for' -the past three years: An example„ of the problems facing the Bureau was the Midden need for scientists and technieal workers to produee a large supply of the donder drug, -penicillin. Befete these needs were fully- met, shell atoduction was unexpectedly stepped up again, resulting in a; fur- ther freareh for persons Ifith scientific training.

Arrangements are also being' made for some of the surplus poultry' to be exported 'as canned' -poultry. This 'is all welcome, news to farmers and specialized ,poultry growers, who hope for a continuous and stable industry. • ' *, Marketing of ,Christmas trees will be more difficult than ever •this year, according to a joint statement from Departments of Labor, Transport, Munitions and ,the W.P.T.B. Cutters, dealers, shippers and retailers have been given early warning they will be handicapped by shortage of raia way equipment, scarcity of manpower and restrictions in use of trucks. The new 'well" known "Wrens" (Wo- men's Royal Canadian Nava -1 Service) celebrated the organization's second birthday last month. , Their strength has grown to 5,006 'from the first -class of 67. They 'serve in thirty different categories of work from Halifax to Victoria, from Washington to London and Newfoundland. Organized to re- lease men -for duty at sea, they work in naval offices, ' driving cars and trucks, sending signals, plotting con- voys, checking supplies, cooking naeals, nursing the wounded and ill and. on special researeh. duties. In their stride they went through the London blitz and now the rocket bombs, gallant Canadians all. * • The end of August marked the dead- line for release for dialuestic use of electric refrigerators.

The W.R.O.N.S., organized for the purpose of releasing men for duty at sea has successfully tackled more than 30diffeiaat- kini' of work in the Navy. Wrena are doing all kinds of office -jobs, driving transports and staff cars, cooking, serving meals, keeping quarters ship-shape and com- fortable, checking supplie,s; plotting convoy, sending signals, nursing. The motto adopted by English Wrens early in. the war, "Never at Sea," means less now, for. Canadian Wrens bave been members of- trial parties on -board' new Canadian fight- ing ships, ,and some of thein work daily in a ship which travels -near Halifax. And of course, Wrens- draft- ed to Newfoundland or the Meted Kingdom add, sea- time to their ser- vice records. When the first group of 67 'appli- cants arrived in Ottawa two years ago to begin . training, supervised by British Wren officers, no one dream- ed that Canadian Wrens would achieve the position Of importance they occupy today in the Naval ser- vice.

The Packing Plants of Ontario, which- process and ship your livestock for export, ARE SERIOUSLY SHORT OF MEN. Every available Farmer of Ontario; is urged to offer his services for employment in one of the -Packing Plants in this province as soon as the essential work of the farm -,is completed. OVER 1,000 men are required to start in the month of September alone. Good hourly wages will be paid. Transportation to the plant will be provided. Assistance will be given in arranging board and room. 'With full staffs, the Packing Plants of Canada have ample capacity to handle even the tremendously increased numbers of cattle, sheep and swine, which Canadian farmers have ready for market this year. , When operating to capacity the Packing Plants can keep the market cleared and livestock can be slaughtered, processed and shipped- at its most profitable time, when it is at its market -peak. Thus, losses which occur when 'animals are held beyond the peak --threu4h additional feeding costs, through falling away from peak condition - and through the danger to price structures when supply threatens to exceed demand — are avoided. Last year several hundred Ontario farmers volunteered fcir work'in the plant S in processing th.eiTOWn products and protecting their_ own interests. Production for export this year has increased by 40%. Available man -power has shrunk by 28%. The Ontario Farm Service Force, in conjunction with Employment and Seledive • Service has undertaken the task of raising sufficient help from 'Ontario Farmers to keep Packing Plants operating to capacity this* --year. This department of the Ontario government's Pepartnient of Agriculture feels .that this extension of its .service is as vitally important to the interests of thelarmers of thiS prov- ince as anything it has yet undertaken. The need of meat as a primary essential food to our Allied ArnAes, to 'the people of Great Britain and to the Starving millions in countries being liberated by our victorious armies, is the ' bask consideration. In addition, efficient operation in the piocessing id marketing of livestock is necessary in protecting the greatest export market ever opened to Canadian farmers.
