To get at the rich iron ore de- posits on the bed of Steep Rock Lake, fourteen pumps mounted on floating barges have begun to pump out its waters - through twenty-eight giant rubber con- necting sleeves supplied by the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Com- pany of Canada Limited. These sleeves are used as flex- ible connections between the pumps •and the main pipe lines leading from the barges. They allow the water conduits to bend as the level of Steep Rock Lake drops. At the present time the lake level is being reduced seven inches per day. Statistics on this operation are interesting. The volume of water to be handled is 121,000,000,000 gallons. The ,volume of water being pumped each day is equiv- alent .to the combined require- ments of the fourteen largest cities in Canada. The sleeves, wire - reinforced with' iron couplings at each end, -are built to be flexible to 17% and yet withstand a maximum working pressure of 125 pounds. Eleven and a half feet long, with a two-foot inside diameter, they weigh 1900 pounds each. As far as 'is known, these are the largest diameter rubber sleeves of this type ever to be produced in Canada. Goodyear, at its Bowmanville plant produced them at the rate of one every 24 hours. It is expected that the over- burden covering the Errington Orebody at Mosher Point, which. will be the first to be mined, will be exposed by the time the ice is .gone early in May, which will permit the mining of 500,000 tons of high-grade hematite during,: the coming shipping season.

J. Ailbon, Jr.) 'When the history of this war has been written one of its brightest chap- ters will be dedicated to "The Women of Britain." Nowhere • in the world have women• played so great a part in the, defence of their country (except• possibly in Russia) as in Great Britain As we toured the length and breadth of the island and sa,w women at work everywhere and in every occupation we understand something of the revo- lution that has taken place in Britain during the past four years-and some- thing of the mighty power that is pack- into that small island of some 46,000,- 000 people. We saw for ourselves the tremend- ous output of Britain's factories and workshops and we understand perhaps better than ever before how it was possible for her to rearm herself so quickly after Dunkirk, where' the bulk of her military equipment had been lost as France gave' up the fight. There are millions of women at work in Britain 'today. Even the housewife without children must give a portion of her time to the state, amounting to 24 hours per week. There are no drones on that : little island. Travel where you will We fotind women at -work. , We found them on the farms; we faund them in the steel mills handling machines of all kinds; we found them feeding blast furnaces; we found them at the coal mines; we found them on the rail- roads as section hands, freight handlers and conductors; we found them in the munition plants; we found them run- ning lathes in the munition plants and assembling planes; we found them on the ships; we found them on the guns defending London and other cities; we • found them operating busses; we found them. as taxi drivers; we tound them handling administration for the Army, Navy and Air Force and in possession of the most secret infor- mation. Everywhere we turned we found women doing the work of men -and doing it well. ' It is quite true they didn't all like their jobs, but it was their part in that vast organization built up by Prime Minister Churchill that would lick Hitler and his' crowd and they were content to get on with the job. Here and there as I walked through the various plants I stopped for a brief chat with some of, these women. "What did they do before the war?" I asked. The answers varied. Here was a girl who had been modelling when the war broke out; here was a A. H.

Phone 231, Wingham governess; here a, stenographer, To- day dressed in overalls with grease on her hands and face and clothes she was running a lathe and turning out Parts for Spitfires or Lancasters and her production was high. Here was the daughter of a member of parlia- ment working a lathe and next to her the daughter of a bishop of the Angli- can Church. Prominent in every de- partment of that vast organization were the wives of Britain's soldiers who were l'aying their full part as they awaited the return of their hus- bands, Here was a young woman as- sisting with the wiring of a Spitfire and a few yards away a young woman was wielding a spray gun or paint brush. 'Time and 'again I asked if they would want to continue this type of work when the war was over rather than set up housekeeping, but invari- ably the answer seemed to be they pre- ferred housekeeping and perhaps a large portion of what they are earning today is going into the hope 'chest against the day when their dream of a home of their own comes true. I take off my hat to the women of Britain and hope that the 18,000 and more who have married Canadian boys will find in Canada that happiness after the war which they will have so proudly won, BELGRAVE Institute Told of Red Cross Work Mrs. Alex Manning, vice-president of the Bel-grave Red Cross Society, addressed the Belgrave Women's In- stitute at a meeting in the Orange Hall.

Quoting, from an address by the, president, Mrs, Ellis, the speaker said: we who work in an emergency organ- ization know that foresight is an in centive to success, Looking ahead into the year we realize we face the great- est battles of the war. So far as may be, we are prepared with hospital supplies and comforts to meet the calls certain to be made upon us, Having these supplies, we must maintain them, there must be no slackening of the work. In appreciation of Mrs. Mannings address it was decided to hold a show- er at the next meeting of.articlei for the Women's Auxiliary and the Mothers of the bombed countries. Lunch of sandwiches and tea was served.

Martin, Clerk, SOYBEAN VARIETIES AND ADAPTION (Experimental Farms News) Soybean varieties cover a wide range in maturity. There are varieties that mature in 100 days or less while others require up to 150 days or even more. Obviously such widely differ- ent varieties are adapted to different areas and it the task of the soybean grower to choose that particular vari- ety best adapted to his own condiions, states ,F. Dimmock, Central Experi- mental Farm, Ottawa. It has been demonstrated that the best variety of soybeans to grow is the one that will just reach maturity in the average season. Normally a variety that matures too early and does not make use of the full season will yield less than one that does. Similar- ly a variety that is too late and re- quires longer than the average season in which to mature will likewise yield lower than the variety that re- quires just the full season. .In other words the best variety is the one that just fits the season or as it is usually called, is best adapted,c This question of variety adaptation affects not only the yield, but influ- ences also the quality of the seed. In a crop that is intended for seed, the plumpest and most attractive seeds come from the variety that normally matures in the average season. Seed from a variety that, is too early is often small and shrunken and unat- tractive, while that from a variety that is too late is normally of poor color, tinged with green, and high. in moist- ure, which adds to the problem of storage and may result in poor germ- ination. It is claimed that immatur- ity affects the quality of the protein and oil in the beans and makes hem less desirable for commercial use. It may be that the grower in certain areas may wish to follow his soybeans with some other crop, such as fall wheat. Then he may have to use a somewhat earlier variety that he otherwise would. But where the soy- bean crop is to occupy the land for the entire season, the best results will come from the variety which just fits the average season, being neither too early nor too late, PRICE CONTROL TARGET PRACTICE HOLDS INFLATION' (By Edna Jaques) Ever try to hit a bull's eye with a ,22? Lots of women are good shots, you know. Pioneer women could shoot straight as a dip, They often had to protect themselves and their children from, wild animals and In. diens. So they learned to shoot from the hip, and seldom missed their mark, We've got a target today . . shooting high prices down, scoring a bull's eye on a nickel . . . if it's a. mark-up on food or clothing or any other necessity of life. You won't need years of practice either, just a little book where you can set prices down and once a month check on them to' see if you're being asked to pay more.
