damp, stuff with paper and leave to
dry. Brush thoroughly. Use a clean-
er to prevent dryness or cracking,
.2. The printed linoleum on our

except for a worn spot in front of
the sink. We cut out a semi -circular
piece of the worn printed linoleum
and cemented in a piece of harmoniz-
ing solid colour instead of frying to
match the pattern.
3. If your pottery vases and bowls
don't fit into your colour scheme,
paint them with cold water paint.
Once the paint is thoroughly set,
you'll find that water will not affect

The Question Box
Mrs. J. M. asks: "How to prevent
strawberries from floating to the top
of the jar?"
Answer: This is one fruit which
should be prepared for canning, then
brought to a boil, cooled for an hour,
then bottled and processed for the re-
quired _length of time, according to
the method used. (Electric oven at
275 degrees for 15 minutes).

The Electoral
Lesson
(Winnipeg Free Press)
The point with regard to the elec-
tion which ought not to be overlook-
ed --certainly by the High Priests of
Toryism — is the severe drubbing
which the Conservative party receiv-
ed from the armed services. It is
common knowledge that the Conserv-
atives in the recent campaign posed
as the superpatriot• party. They and
they alone were the champions of
the soldiers. In -every conceivable
way they strove to represent the Lib-
eials as appeasers of Quebec and they
exploited the war record of the C. C.
F.—not a difficult thinto do—to the
limit. If ever there wparty
which set out to profit politically out
of patriotism, the Conservative party
was it.
The C.C.F. to a degree aped the
.Conservatives in this regard. The
C.C.F. represented itself as the par-
ty most favored by the troops. Mr.
Coldwell, indeed, went so far, after
the election, as to say that the fav`
orable attitude of the soldiers., to the
C.C.F. was easily explicable on the
ground that the boys had been "de-
feating capitalist dictatorships under
Mussolini and Hitler overseas. It is
natural that they should continue the
struggle at home." This statement, of
course, was unworthy of a man who
aspires to be a Ieader of this coun-
try.
The armed srvices, in •point of
fact, had a much sounder grasp of
affairs than either the Conservatives.
or the C.C.F. realized. The Liberal
party led the soldier poll and by a
good margin. The C.C.F. ran second
and the Conservatives, with all their
flag waving, a poor third.
Suppose, to illustrate the point,

hi Winnipeg lt'ree ]loos)
srery 040-4,41 .41 With an, :9unes of
pity in.hrs•selil;'rill pause now, after
the battle, to• 'fgd`atear for the Men
whom Mr,, Ic.i4 betrayed. It is a
familiar betrayal; of course, going
back more than twenty years. Mr.
King has always betrayed these men
year ,after year:election after else
tion. He has,;'betrayed them by re
turning himself to office.
That is the fival treason. The Me
of Canada who have made a long and
hohorable career of hating Mr. King
are not concerned particularly with
his policies. They are concerned with
him and cuce more he has stabbed
them in the ,'back by, refusing to
oblige. It is certainly not cricket.
Consider what these men have giv-
en to their country in the last gen-
eration. They have given, a third of
their lives, without hope of reward,
in a spirit of unlimited personal sac-
rifice to a sacred cause. Nat for
them the .pleasures of election cam-
paigns, the struggle of argument, the
matching of ,brain against brain; the
human exhilaration of platform
speeches. A11 this they have willing-
ly thrown :away to consecrate them-
selves to a 'higher purpose, the hat-
ing of Mr. King. -
It makes you feel humble to real-
ize that in some of the finest homes
of Toronto men have risen from their
beds every morning since 1921'—some
,8,760 mornings—with their minds
bent on this single subject. They
have hated Mr, King all through
breakfast and„ lunch and dinner and
gone to (sleep at.night with his name
on• their minds -8,760 days of sheer
agony.
The lives of ' these patriots have
been ruined, their friends bored al-
most to extinction, and their children
have been. born and grown to man-
hood and womanhood with the ghost
of Mr. King always at their elbows,
waking )and sleeping. They have
-served an apprenticeship three times
as long as the They
of a medi-
cal doctor, and served it gladly, mak-
ing a career of hatred until the day
of their graduation, the day of Mr.
..
King's downfall. .
And once more the graduation has
been postponed. Mr. King still.re-
fuses to oblige. The cold aching in-
justice of it! •It was bad enough to
have him around in peacetimes but
to have him as the leader of the na-
tion in war was more than human
flesh could bear. But at least this,,
surely, was the end. If 'there" were
any atom of justice left among the
gods, Mr. King would be discredited
by the war, with the dawn of peace,
the long nightmiiie of Canada would
end.
. But it has not ended. Even the
peace has been discolored and turn-
ed sour by still another betrayal. Mr.
King is there and shows rio sign; of
moving out. The Liberal party can
be tolerated. The Government- ad-
mittedly, is not too bad. But Mr.
King iS _n'ot' to be•••borne.• Yet he
eyes and cannot believe them but
must be borne. The haters rub their
.there, emerging from the mists of
the election, is the familiar figure, as
large as life. In the morning he will
still haunt these men when they op-
en their eyes. He will be with them
as always at breakfast, lunch and
dinner, and at night he will stand
beside their tortured pillows.
Thus the years stretch ahead in a
dreary wasteland with the Unspeak-
able Object always b@o d',a. the. #411'
and the old mkirage of .. deliverance,
still fades into the remote 410114011.
You may pity them, you, ' mnay'ofer
them a cup of water on the long
march, but it is no use. They racist
, stagger on alone and they will"ijever
-' give up the great quest. I i:story
holds no such spectacle of devotion
and all the great marches of the past
n are mere, pleasure jaunts eGinPared
with twenty-four years of unbroken
misery in the desert= -and+ still four
or five years to ,,go, an eternity of
perhaps 1,500 bitter days ahead. •,
But these men will not flag or fail.
After one despairing pause en elen-'
tion night, the march, will be resum-
ed, the name of Mr. King will appear
again at the breakfast table and vWWill
be muttered at bedtime, the grand-
children 'will be patiently educated in
the truth like their fathers, and in
the Globe and Mail the weary writ-
ers will be able to reel off the well-
worn editorials in their sleep.
Many men go into politics to grat-
ify personal ambition. Others seek
more material rewards. The great
bulk of the people are interested on-
ly in getting the best government and
the lowest taxes, •But the elite of
Canada seeking nothing for tself, will
gladly remain in obscurity, forever
unknown and unrewarded, if only the
Intolerable Fact can be expunged..
But the Intolerable'Fact refuses to be
expunged. It seems to be unexpung-
able and eternal. _In the crowning
treachery it, bobs up again at the
nation's polls, and men grow oId just
looking at it.
Put out the light and then put out
the light. ' The pity of it, Toronto,
ah, the pity of it!
that the election had been left en
tirely to .the• soldiers, voting as they
voted by constituencies. Suppose the
c4ivi1ians had not voted at all.. The
result would have been the re-elec
tion of the King government as by
far the largest group although not a
majority of the House of Commons
Mr. King would have had 113 seats,
the Conservatives 62 and the. .-C.C.F.
60. The balance would have been
s.plii. up among lesser parties and In-
dependents. True, the Liberals would
have carried 62 seats in Quebec. But,
since the Quebec votes- would have
been soldier votes, chiefly active ser-
vice 'and overseas, service, not even
the Conservatives could have object-
ed. Outside of Quebec, the Liberals
would have elected 5-1 members, just
a little short of the total strength
of either the Conservatives or the
C.C.P. And what is more, the Lib-
erals would have,been the only na-
tional party, draing strength from
all sections of the country.
It is a curious fact that, the Con-
servatives did better on the 'civilian'
than the soldier vote. The home vote
gave them 66 seat's, four more than
they would have got from the troops.
There are encouraging signs that.
this soldier vote is Causing the Con-
servative party furiously to think.
The Ottawa Journal remarks on the
fact that the soldfers went against
"the one party which supported and
fought for conscription" and adds,
somewhat ruefully, that "this is a
bit perplexing." Perhaps so. The les-
son, surely, is that the Conservative
tarty -iYiust face the realities of Ill,
'001%),, unity, Stop trying to play ofr
Ontario, .against Quehe'e, and' frame
lts policies to appeal to every • part
of the eouzrtry.

Meat Stored
In Lockers
To eliminate the possibility of meat
hoarding prior to the inauguration of
the ration, program, the Wartime
Prices and Trade Board has announc-
ed a regulation which provides that
ration coupons will be collected as
meat is removed from cold storage
lockers after, meat Is rationed.
No definite :announcement has yet
been made of the probable date of
meat rationing. However, two meat-
less days weekly --must be observed
in restaurants and all othereating
places. Commercial slaughtering of

Researchers visited several thou-
sand homes throughout Canada and
interviewed housewives in one of the
most intensive studies of household
working conditions ever undertaken -
The difficulties of doing housework
hampered at every turn by lack of
proper equipment, especially in farm
homes, are•pictured vividly in the fol-
lowing findings:
About one farmhouse in every six
(18 per cent) has no sink. The short-
age is half that total in small towns
and villages. And one-tenth of farm
sinks are in some room other than
the kitchen. A•Imo'st one-third of
them 'have no drains, and 38 per cent
have no taps. That means water has
to be lifted into the sink by bucket
or tea -kettle and dirty water ladled
or siphoned out. The village drain
shortage is 16 per cent, while 15 per
cent lack taps. Three per cent of
the farm sinks are toohigh for the
women who use them, .while 17 per
cent of farm women say their sinks
are too ]ow and would like them rais-
ed to ease back fatigue. In village
and small town homes there are ev-
en more "too low" •Sinks.
Only 10 per cent •of farm women
have electric refrigerators and in vil-
lages and small towns the total is
only 19 per cent. Yet electric power
is available in 94 per cent of the vil-
lages and on 51 per cent of the farms
in the •survey. National average of
rural electrificatibn is only 20.2 per
cent when all farms, including the
bigger ones and those remotely lo-
cated, are counted. Almost one farm
in four; and two-fifths • of village
homes, have ice boxes. 'On farms,
the cold storage field is led by box -
shelves in basements, on window -led-
ges or in porches or sheds. •Forty
-
eight per cent of farm women de-
pend on these•,home-made devicesfor
food storage. So do 20 per cent of
villagers and 10 per cent of .people
in cities and Iarger towns. These are
summer figures.
One-tenth of farm women want
running water more than any other
kitchen improvement. A pump would
meet this problem for many of them.
One in 50 wants her kitchen 'Modern-
ized and another one in 50 asks that
the stove, sink and other ` working
units be rearranged to cut down work.
Six per cent call for sinks in kit-
chens and four per cent want mod-
ern sinks. -
Five per cent on farms ask for wa-
ter heaters as their nufnber one kit-
chen improvement: Numbers are
smalled in urban centres, already bet-
ter supplied.
Pantries are the immediate post-
war preference of three per cent of
farm wives, one in five village wo-
men and one in 25 in bigger places.
Two farm women in 50 are weary
of trying to keep kitchen floors clean
that are! worn, heaving, cracked And
past tlieir ..:prime. They want new
floors. Sc does a like p r cent of
women in city, .town and tillage.
Redecorating is number one on the
list of three per cent of farm wo-
men; four per cent. of ' those in vil-
lages and 5 per cent in bigger cen-
tres.
One farm woman in 25 wants elec-
tric refrigeration more than any
other kitchen improvement. In cities,
towns and villages, nearly one kit-
chen in 14 has a corner reserved for
postwar electri crefrigerators.
There is •a high demand for bigger
kitchens in all areas. One reason is
that so many meals are eaten there.
Over three-quarters of farm farnil'ies
and nearly as many in cities eat the
year round in their kitchens; in vil-
lages the figure is 78 per cent.

Impro`c�
System
Of Notifying Kin
•
London, Ont.—To meet the situa-
tion .of increasing numbers of troops '
arriving from overseas, District Mili-
tary Headquarters has outlined im-
provements in the system of notify-
ing next-of-k'in'yof dates and .-times of
train arrivals in London, particularly
in respect to advising next-of-kirt~, a':`y
quickly as possible of delays or
changes in arrival times—to :try and
avoid disappointments, at railway sta-
tions.
The new system, which isnow in
effect, features the sending of letterer
to next-of-kin As soon as copies of
the Nominal Roll of a troopship are
received in London. Next-of-kin of
each of the personnel listed are (1)
advised of the pending arrival ,in Can-
ada, and (2) asked to contact the
person on duty at their local Armour-
ies and leave with him a telephone
number at which a message may be
left for them, so they may be inform-
ed 'immediately when the expected
time of arrival in London is tele-
phoned to the Armouries. ,from Dis-
trict Headquarters.
' District Headquarters explained,
thaton account of the considerably
larger numbers of overseas -troops
•
returning to Western Ontario, it
would be an imposition la allow voI-
unteer services to carry the full bur-
den of notifying next-of-kin of train
arrivals, and the more difficult task
of advising them of changes and post-
ponements in such arrivals. That is
why the system of notification has•
been modified and extended to put
the added weight of responsibility' on
army offices in the district.
Military . authorities stated they
wished to make it clear that the new
system in no way affects plans or
programs of welcome that volunteer .
services and other organizations are
sponsoring so splendidly on behalf G1'
returning war veterans.
Letters of notification to • next-of-
kin will identify a troop movement
from Overseas by the name of • the-
troopship,
hetroopship, where -possible:~ If the
name of the vessel is not known ins -
mediately, first identification of the
movenient will be by number (for ex-
ample, Vessel'No. 890).
It was' explained' that the nominal
roll of a troopship is cifinpiled before,
the vessel sails, 'and 'last-minute,
changes may be expected. Notice.ot
changes in the roll, deletions and ad-'.
ditions; are sometimes not 'received& .
at District Headquarters until 'after
letters are sent out to next -of --kin
covering names on the "original r_ oll_
However, next-of-kin affected by
changes in the roll are notified by
telephone as speedily as possible by -
their local Armouries.
Officials pointed out also that troop
"trains are often delayed en route, ne-
cessitating changes in the. time of
arrival in London. All Armouries: ares'
notified•of such changes and, in cases
of train delays of more than five
hours, next-of-kin are notified by tele-
phone as far as possible by their lo-
cal Armouries. The information is al-
so sent out immediately to • newspa-
pers and radio stations in M.D. 1.
District Headquarters stressed that
next -of -kb) can be advised of the ar-
rival times ',of soldiers in London on- 5
ly, and not when they may reach-
their
eachtheir home towns. The reason 'is that
on detraining in London, returning
troops are required to report either
to Wolseley Barracks or to the Main.
Armouries (depending upon the mina-,
her' of troops to, behandled) to re-
ceive their ration .books, furlough
forms • and warrants for additional
bus or rail transportation. That (pro-
cedure is completed ordinarily With-
in two hours, and from then the mem
are on their own and choose their
own, times to proceed to their tome -
towns. Usually they ,have plenty of
time to catch the next,!train or bus
home. .. •
