The advance ;from 1926 to 1939 was :relatively slaw — $355,186,000 in Q2f, $5'53,063,0.00 in 1939. Then came the war, we spent . reely,. we produced tremendously. -WQe were prosperous during this period. We conceived the idea that wealth came from lavish expendi- tures, if only we spent enough we could become rich. It violated all the ancient canons of taxation. The votes applied the pressure. The 'nation can stand it during a boom —what will happen in a depres- sion? Some of these expenditures had a value, It depended on how the money was spent. Taking money from some and giving it to others had little merit. There is small ad- vantage to the nation in a squaw dermania of that kind. The mo- ment we endeavor to carry it out in one direction it becomes es- sential elsewhere. Every year -the top soil of our farms is being swept away. Our 'forests are being denuded, flood damage is increasing. Wouldn't it The presen tion and extension of our forests is an essential of our national life. We should look at the Dominion of Canada as a great property which must be pre- served for future generations. In- stead of this there comes the battle cry: "Give us more than we earn—who cares where it comes from." How long can we continue tb,at program without sowing the seeds of disaster? Take one single item. Are we making the best use of our natural resources? There are sections of land in many provinces which nev- er should have been cleared. They should have been used as perpetual forests and harvested year after year. On the prairies there are many farms which should be turn- ed into perennial pasture fields. We have done something along this line but not enough. There are areas all over Canada where the human values are deteriorating because families are living on lands which cannot provide them with a decent standard of living. Yes, and there are provinces where the death rate of children is twice what it should be. It would be wiser to give according to need ra- ther than according to population. The proposal approved at the last session calls for the expendi- ture of $30 million a year. That is equivalent to the interest on a capital investment of a thousand million dollars. That is the begin- ning. We are moving toward a general social service program which will run into three or four hundred million dollars a year perhaps more. One would think that someone in the House of Commons would ask this ques- tion: Is there a better alternative use for the expenditure of such prodigious sums? Is the health of the people so bad that we must venture upon this proposal without even asking a question? Will the new pro- gram give us the lowest death rate in the world? We are close to that now—few countries have a lower rate. We are engaged in a tremendous effort to increase our spending. If we continue in this direction and forget about the need for increased production the road ahead will look pretty rocky within the next few years.

You wouldn't dare say "Same old thing" in reference to the vegetables this month. There are many that can be stored by the bringing process which will provide variety later on. Salt and liquid in the correct pro- portion preserves the color and. texture of many perishable vege- tables. You will enjoy using grandmother's crock or odd jars for relishes and think of the plea- sure of dipping into them round about Thanksgiving. No one will say "Same old thing." Take a Tip 1. Use a good, clear vinegar, free from sediment. To retain the aroma and full strength, vinegar should not be allowed to boil more than five minutes. A good meth- od is to bring the vinegar and spices to the boiling point in a cov- ered pari and allow to stand an hour. 2. Ordinary fine or even coarse .salt is recommended for pickles in preference to iodized sifting salt. 3. In general, ;use pure whole spices in pickling as they retain their flavour longer and can be lifted out of the liquid before pick- les are packed. If spices are can- ned along with the pickles they will turn dark. When using a spice bag, use a clean thin white cheese cloth bag large enough to allow the liquid to circulate through the spices. The use of dill is very popular. While the stalk adds some flavour to the pickles, it is the seeds which are most useful. Leaves and seeds may be used green, dried or brined. 4. Never use a copper or gal- vanized kettle as the acid in vine- gar reacts with these metals to form harmful substances. 5. You relay be fairly sure of crisp pickles if you measure the salt solution accurately. This brine should be strong enough to float a fresh egg -1 pound (11/2 cups) salt to nine pints (wine measure) wa- ter. • Corn Relish 12 cobs of corn, niblets cut off 4 large onions, cut fine. 1 head cabbage 1 red pepper 1 green pepper 2 cups white sugar 4 tablespoons vinegar 1 tablespoon salt Mix well, and boil 10 minutes.

If so, you are overlook- ing the fact that promptness pays worthwhile dividends in terms of success and popu- larity. All the people with whom you may have relationships in your job -- co-workers, customers, employer — will think you are more efficient and dependable if you keep appointments on time. And their good opinion of you can help you get ahead. Even y in off -work hours, promptness can build hap- pier relationships with fam- ily and friends. For when you are on time it shows that you are considerate of other people and that you value their time. How can you become prompt? It's easy! All you have to do is to say to your- self: From now on I'm going to be on time all the time with everybody! Why not resolve today that you will see bow much good- will you can build in this simple way? . . . Life Insurance Companies are justly proud of their rec- ord in malting prompt pay- ments to beneficiaries and policyholders. It may surprise you to know that such pay- ments in Canada approximate a half million dollars every day. 69 TUCKERSIVIITH t,s,e At artiflgial l+espiratlpn, 74ypr OP/9 ,Q'Alliel. ke 141, vorittl5p). gig4= resuacitatlon if an erOurgette Karig ee..

Applications should be sent as soon as possible to the County Secretary. The third annual meeting of the International Federation, of Agri- cultural Producers will be held next summer at the Ontario Agri- cultural College, Guelph, and it is expected that some 30 nations will have representatives. The Ontario Government has consented to the use of the Agri- cultural College buildings at Guelph for the conference, and the dele- gates will be quartered there dur- ing the ten-day meeting, which will open May 29. Before and after the conference the delegates from the many ' nations will be taken on tours of Ontario and other parts of Canada.

With a little care the ill effects of sunburn may be es- caped and a healthy coat of tan acouired instead. The best way of avoiding a painful .sunburn lies in making the first sunbaths brief. The length of succeeding sunbaths may be gradually increased. Tak- en in proper doses the sun has a. most beneficial effect on the body. Summer Sanitation Sanitary conveniences require strict attention on holiday. From a disregard of such facilities may spring many serious amaldies which can do a great deal more than just spoil a pleasant vacation. Holiday sites which are to be oc- cupied for some time .should be provided with sanitary privies. Plans for such privies are avail- able on request from provincial health departments.
