Care and Operation of
Vacuum Cleaners
To • prove that a few minutes a day
spent in caring for equipment will pay
good dividends.
Operation: .
(1) Place the cleaner on the rug
and with the handle in operating posi-
tion adjust the nozzle so that there is
a mall space between it and the rug
When the motor is turned "ON" the
rug will come to the nolle; if an• agi-
tator type the rug should, vibrate just
in front of the cleaner when the motor
is turned "ON."
Automatic agitating -machines do
net require this attention.
(2) Move the vacuum cleaner
lengthwise of the rug, slowly. Each
section should be gone over twice in
order to remove imbedded dirt.
.(3) Carry the cord in your free
hand and avoid tangling it with furni-
ture or cords. -
(4) Turn' off the motor if there is
ari interruption—furniture to be mov-
ed, door bell to be answered, etc.
(5) Always turn the switch "Off"
before pulling out the plug at the out-
let.
(6) Attachments should be used
first. •
Care of Vacuum. Cleaner:
•(1) Before using•the vacuum clean-
er pick up tacks, pins'•and sharp ob-
jects as well as live matches. These
may cut or 'burn the belt of a motor -
driven brush or they"may puncture
the dust ,bag.
(2) After each use, empty the' dust
bag. Shake the dirt into a paper bag
so that dustisnot scattered again.
(3) Wind the cord loosely so that
the fine wiresinside are 'pat. damag-
ed.
• (4) Dust off the cleaner after each
• use.
(5) ` Clean off all attachments.

three or four drops of graphite oil
every four months is all that is nec-
essary. (ver -lubrication is ,harmful,
too.
' (4) Worn or frayed cord, belt or
brush of the agitator cover should be
replaced).
Take a Tip
1. Try a small paint brush for clean-
ing hard -to -get -at corners.
2. A paste of equal portions of salt
and flour moistened with vinegar
wf}1 lead luster to -discolored brass
or copper. Let the paste harden.
Wash off with water.
3. Dust walls from the floor up. The
fine threads of dust hang down.
Best implement is a broom 'cover-
. with flannel.
4. The window sills will be easier to
keep clean if you wax them after
washing.
•5. Housecleaning is no time to wear
yourself out cleaning silver by
hand. Drop silverware into a pan
where each 'piece can touch an
aluminum pie plate and cover sil-
verwith water. To each quart add
one teaspoon salt And one table-
spoon baking soda. Rrin'g the solu-
tion; to a boil and tarnish should
disappear in five or ten minutes.
6. You may be stdring'- several tin or
iron utensils -for the summer. If
this be so, make them rust -proof
by rubbing with unsalted fat:
7: Never dash ordinary salt into cast
aluminum pans. It causes a pitted
utensil.
The Question Box
Mrs." E. N. asks: "How to protect
woollens from moths?"
Answer: Laundering kills moth
eggs and larvae. Woollens not used
regularly in summer, but not stored,
should be aired frequently unless
treated, to resist adamage. To store,
wrap 'freshly laundered articles .im-
m'ediately in strong paper and seal
tightly with gummed tape. Or store
in a well -.made cedar chest. Several
new fabrics are now labelled,. moth -
resistant.
• Mr. T. J. says: "We have found
that a rug -cushion adds comfort and
increases the life of our rugs. May
I suggest that housecleaning time is
opportune .for turning ,around the big
rugs: We have also planned to paint
the screen doors and window screens
while the decorator•is in the house."
Mrs. M. R. says: "If you find rub-
ber groves difficult to wear while
cleaning, it's a good idea to wear a
pair of worn cotton ones.underneath.

Our Jobs Depend?
Responsible journalists in Canada
use these .striking words in writing
and speaking of the international'
trade conference opened 'in Geneva,.
Switzerland, last week. Canadian
farmers realze that their prosperity erity
is equallyor more seriously at
stake.
The meetings of the preparatory
committee on trade and employment
were held in London,, England. They
,opened Last `fall with high 'hopes and
much' enthusiasm. The end was not
encouraging for those who realize
that peace and prosperity both depend
on• finding ways by whichthe peoples
of the world can trade freely. Not on-
ly will world trade bring food and
clothing to its people—perhaps it is.
the only way to bring different races
and peoples to a better • ulnderstanding
and alipreeiafien of one 'another; Cer-
tainly no other way has been, found
yet,
Canada Most Affected
Canada's•prosperity is more vulner-
able to world trading conditions today
than ever. before. When she was on-
ly a producer of primary products all
we needed was markets for wheat,
fish and 'lumber—and when these were•
depressed it -brought us considerable
hardship. Today we are a leading -in-
dustrial ami well as agricultural, fish: -
Ma
sh=ing and lumbering nation. Today we
need markets for large quantities of
manufactured and processing goods.
Modern machinery has made it pos-
sible to work our farms, forests and
fisheries efficiently with fewer people
and snore and more Canadians are be-
ing employed in the industries and
trades. •
It is. for these compelling reasons
that Canadians are anxiously watch-
ing the conference with great concern'
about the signs which developed„.in
thepreparatory committee.

port of 'Ross Munro, noted Canadian

Government to world 'trade has at

Tax Less, Spend More?
The Financial Post, usually consid-
ered friendly to the Progressive Con-
servative party program•,last week
criticized that party's attitude in par-
liament as being "the biggest
cal riddle heard in, Ottawa in a long
time." It referred to leader • Brack-
en's ,statements that:
(1) Old age pensions could, be
raised.
(2) Radio license fees eliminated.
(3) 'Agricultural floor prices in
creased.
(4) 'Veterans treated more gener-
ously. -
(5) Income taxes reduced one-third
and exemptions raised.
The additional—expenditures listed
from (1) to (4) are estimated at ov-
er 400. millions, while the revenue.
would be "reduced by (5)' more than
250 million.
.Our Population Trends
There. is much speculation about the
1946 population figures of. Canada, re-
cently issued by the Bureau of Statis-
tics.
tatistics. The annual 'estimate of popula-
tion is for June 1 each year olid as
based on three factors, (a) excess of
births over deaths since' the last cen-
sus, (b) immigration and emigration,
(a) ration book .distribution. The last
is a new and very dependable ele-
ment in the estimate. The prairie
provinces have a five-year census; so
that the 1946 figures -for. those prov-
inces are by actual count.'
The total increase in population in
Canada for the live years since, the
1941 census isa801,000 (approximately
three-quarters of one per cent) but
the significance, for 'st(idents of Can-
ada's
anada's. political economy, lies in the
,gains and' losses by provinces. The
highly industrialized provinces of
Quebec and Ontario showed popula-
tion gains of 8,9 per cent a and 8.4 per
cent respectively; British Columbia•
had a. population increase of 22.6 per
cent. The natural increase in popula-
tion in .Canada in recent years (ex-
cess
excess of births. 'over deaths') has been
11%4 per '•cent per year and accounts
for 61/4 pe rcent of the five-year in-
crease which means that Quebec, On-
tario and British Collambia gained 2.7,
2.2 and 16.4 per ',cent respectively,
from other sources. •
Nova Scotia with a gain• of 5.8 per
cent and New.Brunswick with a gain
of five per cent infive years approxi-
mately retained their natural resourc-
es. •
The Losses
The provincial losses in 'population
are Prince EdwardIsland a little ocer
one per cent, Manitoba three-fifths of
one per cent., and Saskatchewan, the
lone Socialist province, 7.4 per cent,
plus the natural increase in each case.
Alberta with a 'gain of one-half of
one per cent beld''only a small .part -
of its natural increase.
What is the Answer?
Theo latio figures give strong
arguments .in favor of those .who con-
tend for a new deal in our economy:
We can havea strong Canadian na-
t:onal spirit only if Canadians in all
parts of our country feel that they
have approximate equality of oppor-
tunity. The Rowell-Sirois . Commission
made an attempt to find a basis of
equality. The present proposals , of
the 'Dominion government constitute
a second effort toward• this end.
' No one would claim that either of-
fered perfect. solutions—probably a
Perfect solution is not possible. The
solution will only be found if the peo-
ple of all provinces put their lo'galty
'and faith in Canada ahead of their
provipcial loyalties. The solution
must be a formula which is accepted
asgiving every province its just
share of our national assets, not one
which infers that the richer- provinc-
es are distributing charity„ A vo6a1
public Opinion could bring a solution
to this problem soon. The alternative
could be a serious`"dislocation of- our
economy which would bring hardship
to many,of our people.
Party Affiliations
Supporters of Canada's Socialist
party are embarrassed' by the lang-
uage used at their party's 'recent Bri-
tish Columbia• 'convention. The presi-
dent, on beingre-elected by acclaina-
'tion mildly criticized .the program of
the party's leader, Harold Winch.`"If
comrade Winch is too cautious in fac-
ing current risks," he saiO, 2'he faces
the greater,risks' of failing to achieve
the revolutionary puri'oses of a Soci-
alist movement."
Ottawa circlets are 'very familiar
with the Communist 'line" and won-
der.if the eaipressions used by the C.
C. 1'. leaders in British Columbia are
not too much •}ike the Communist
technique ,to be a coincidence.
