Yes, I got enough of the story to -know that a combination of science, management and invention has put us on the threshold of a period when Can-, adian agricultural production will take its rightful place in Canadian inklus try. That's where you and I are terested. ThrOugh efforts of this division, linseed oil is now being processed to replace drying oils hitherto obtained from China; soya beans will probably be used in "nylon" type artificial silk; wheat will be a source of starch and sedium glutenate, the latter previous- ly exported, front Japan and used 'for the meaty flavor in concentrated soups and 'beverages, "Keep the fat out of the fire" was the administrator's appeal to women of Canada, It means oil for marine engines, brake fluid for tanks and trucks, the lift of tinplate and glycer- ine, to mention a few. Consumer Organization Functioning But I must ]furry on to, Byrne Sanders, head of Consulters Division, which is giving the Canadian consum- er a voice and has 8,000 women across the country doing a c t iv e voluntary service, co-operat- ing in their own in- terest, trying hard to make for a bet- ter understanding between the con- sumer and retailer, "The women are doing a grand job," B, H. SANDERS she said and flash- ed a toothsome, sincere smile which said, "I mean it". "Our „task is to channel their difficulties and com- plaints towarcj,s" a head and then we can go at the problems again." She admitted women are prone to critize, (Boy, she ought to hear the men in' a smoking compartment.) Her division is trying so hard to get closer to women everywhere be- cause their whole job so closely af- fects the household, B. H. Sanders is practical because she said, "The war hasn't started to hurt us yet. It likely will." Price checking is one of the big jobs of the division, but she feels in this that honest retailers deserve protection from those who might not be. She. wants women to co-operate with her. These liaison officers in all towns are the link to do it. "The Consumers Board is set up to teeresent all you people," and here we quote her axact expression which re- flects the energy and determination of this woman, "So for Pete's, sake use it. If anything is wrong send it to your nearest committee I went out past a 'battery of female operated typewriters in high gear. I thought -if Morn can run the house- hold on Dad's budget, a woman can run the Consumers division mighty effectively with the help of other women across Canada., WRITTEN .sR.ECIAWY FOR THE W.AgKl.„`kf r•M*0.$1aAPER$ cANADA JIM -OREENPLAI, E0itot of the Lott SWIFT .PuRRgNT SASKATCH E WAN • PHYLLIS TURNER How to cut the cost of Heating Your Home BY AMERICA'S HOME HEATING EXPERT .41 W*.fri4.41,..1,1,1.1.41.411 'Thursday Febmary 1943 WINGliAM ADVANCE-TINMS OILS AND FA.T,S —CONSUMERS BRANCH Gives you 2 Ibs.

If you will cheek up on the following suggestions you will find they will help to eliminate this inconvenience. Let's take for granted that the heating plant in the basement is in good condition and is being properly operated. Now let us check up on the heating equipment in the rooms, THE RADIATORS — These should be located on outside walls, preferably underneath windows.•This is important so that draft and cold floors are avoided. The radiators should be slight- ly tilted back toward the boiler to permit the condensate to re- turn to the heating plant. This eliminates "knocking" or "ham- mering," Sometimes due to warped fleors, etc,, the radiators tilt in the wrong direction. If such is the case, place a thin wooden wedge under the radi- ator legs until proper pitch is obtained. A radiator vent valve should be located on each radiater op- posite the end where the stem enters. It should always he placed in an upright position. If tilted or pointed toward the ficor, it will eati8O a traPping of air in the radiator, resulting in an air-bound radiator ',Ada re, mains cold, resulting in a cold room. Sometimes due to a small accumulation of dirt, the *valve pin is liable to stick to the valve seat of the radiator valve caus- ing trouble. It is a good rule to It wasn't Mrs, Phyllis Turner's good .looks that made me deal with Oils and Fats in the seeend article, but its tre- mendous importance emphasized by the fact that despite Goebbels' propa- ganda of synthetic procurement in Germany, she declares that is mostly bunk. The supply both here and there rrnust depend on agriculture, whaling „,and fishing. Germany's economic fat plan was the orig- inal basis for their universal system of a state-controlled agriculture, indus- try and commerce, Recovery of waste and garbage fats in t h e households there is mandatory, Think that over, housewives of Can- ada, when they "appeal" to you to avoid unneces sary usage and waste of oils and fats. The picture is so simple, folks. Fats and vegetable oils are our only source .-of glycerine far explosives, medicines, lotions, etc.—cigarettes when avail- able. The average yield from fats is 10 to 12 %. "Do you know", Mrs. Turner flung at me in trip-hammer succession, "that one ounce of dripping per person .per week would give us 36 million pounds a year? That 10 lbs. of rendered fats fires 49 anti-aircraft shells? That 100 lbs. of glycerine helps make 180 tank mines, or 780 lbs. of high explosive or enough to mine 780 tons of ore?" I had to admit ignorance. You who have sons de- pending on this (which depends on you)—are you interested? Oils and Troubled Waters Just imagine the ramifications' of this administration, especially since Japan plugged holes in the Pacific; conserving, inducing and coordinating our vital vegetable, animal and fish 'oils for food and industrial purposes, i.e.: 'vitamin oils, lard, shortening, paints, inks, shellac, waxes, starches, glues, soaps, naval stores (resins, turps, pine oils). As for nutrition, 'how could you all exist without a pro- per proportion of oils and fats in your diet? Mom, isn't it just plain real- ism? Doesn't it make you think—as it did me—to hear that we depend so much on it, in our shaving; butter which is 80% fat, our toast in its shortening, our clothes and shoes winch get treat- ment from oils or derivatives; the chair you sit in, the linoleum, you walk on, Excluding butter we norm- ally consume 450 million lbs. of fats yearly in Canada, 200 of which, 45%, had to 'be imported, originating largely in the Far East. That . source wont out with Pearl Harbor; 'your boy guarding convoys knows that even India and West Africa is getting tougher to reach, Heavy demands for the stout-heart- ed but hungry Russians, for Britain, for ourselves must be met on this continent, In only one way: increased hemisphere production, saving in con- sumption, Mrs. Turner sits on the United Nations Council of United States, United Kingdom, Canada, New Zealand,' South Africa and Australia which meets in Washington and even Canada's production is pooled, out of which we get only edible and inedible requirements on a' strictly controlled basis. I know, you're interested in how they intend meeting this situation. We get linseed, oil from flax; well, flaxseed production, it is, hoped, will be stepped up to at least 20 million bushels this year compared to 64 in 1941; there will be an expansion ,of soya bean crops, sunflower and rapese,ed. Why Billions Are Needed ,."Why control fats when the U.S.A. increased its production two billion pounds last year?" I asked Mrs. Turn- er to show that I read Time and Ot- tawa papers.. With that restful and patient smile she asked me, "Did you know that the U.S.A. consumed 11 billion lbs. last year; that a billion was cut off from the Far East, and furth- ermore what assurance have any of us that this year's crops will give high yields as last?" Could you answer that smartly, even if you are a stove. leaguer? Sure, you've got a baby around the house. Prior. to the war 75%. ,of cod liver oil was imported, mostly from Britain, Norway and Newfoundland. The fishing companies on our Atlan- tic coast wasted much of the precious vitamin content for tanning, etc., feed- ing livestock and poultry. Do you know that since 1941 'we now have five Plants of our own producing re- fined medicinal cod liver oil and that BLUEVALE W.M.S.

ALF'S PAPOOSES LOST CLOSE GAME Lucknow Sepoys Won In The "Drive Canny" Towri By The Close Score Of 4-3 Showing a complete reversal of form the Papooses gave the fast Luck- now Sepoys a real scare on Friday night when they extended them to the limit to win by the narrow margin of one goal, The final score was 4,3, The game had only nicely got under way when Hilbert put the Papboses hr the lead when he bulged the twine behind Orr. This was signal for the Sepoys turn on, the heat, but All's juvenile braves were not in the mood for any such nonsense as took place when the teams met hero and held the Sepoys back, in fact they did better than that, they outplayed them for the next fifty minutes of the game, With only ten minutes to go it look- ed as if the Papooses were out to earn a win but you know how things can happen in, a hockey gatne-and happen things did. Lucknow banged two past McLeod to lead by a goal. Then Nil- bort got his second goal and to tie it Pym.; wings, Templeman and Yeoman. LUCKNOW—goal, Orr; def., Halt. Johnston; centre, A.

"Would you. have driven your car over the brink of the precipice, clashing us both into eternity, like the lover we saw in the movie the other night?" "N-no, not this car, honey," an- swered the practical and truthful swain. "Your see, I've just had new' tires put on," periodically check all valves and replace defective ones. However, with proper care they should last a lifetime, It is not difficult to determine when a radiator is air-bound. Rub the fingertips gently across the top of the radiator sections from the end where the steam enters to the opposite end. If the first several sections are hot, the center sections warm and the end sections cool or cold, it is proof that the radiator is air- bound. Close off the main Valve to the radiator, take off the vent valve and whip it several times by shaking it vigorously. Re- place the vent valve 'and open the main valve. If the radiator still does not heat, there is a possibility the vent valve is de- fective. It should then be re- plated immediately. During exeeptionally cold snaps, if all the radiator sections are hot and the room remains cold, it is evidence suggesting that the radiator is undersite. This can be ascertained by meas- uring the radiation and checking against the heat loss. This can be done by your fuel dealer or heating contractor, If all the tops of the sections are hot and the bottoms of the sections are cold-the- room still temiuning celd—it may be sus- pected that there is a trap in the, pipe line. If unable to find the trouble, call your_local coal dealer-Am can help ocate the trouble and advise you whether a heating contractor should be brought in to Mahe the necessary repairs. Q.Q. up, Things were moving fast and play was tense but the Sepoys seemed to be checked, but once again they forged ahead scoring two goals. The local lads worked like the dickens and were rewarded when Templeman notched a goal. Time was too short to even things up and the bell went to end the game. These are two great Juvenile teams and they put on a splendid exhibition of hockey. The local team was short two men and some of regulars could not play because of the High School Commencement Exercises. This is not an alibi as the 'nine players that took part from here stood up all the way. WINGHAAI — goal, McLeod; def.
