• For the things that are not given to a fighting man with his uniform
- • things that are not part of his military equipment ... things of the
spirit ... Canada's fighting sons, wherever they maybe, rely on you.
The Government provides them with uniforms, rifles, ammunition—
but for comforts—recreations and wholesome opportunity to make
their precious moments of leisure a genuine boon ... they rely on you:
Of course you help to buy airplanes, guns, ships, tanks—BUT for
the things that express to the soldier the affection and thoughtfulness
of the folks back home ... he relies on you.
Six great national organizations labour unceasingly to provide hint
with those things.
They can do it only with your money.
Your money started this work—your money is'needed to carry h oat
The need is urgent. Be generous.
Let the volunteer helper who calls on you carry back your pledge of
fullest support for our fighting men.

a plot that :s a Joy to his own
family and the envy of his neigh-
bors, he may simply have opened up

tamed.
This is rott difficult with a small
piece of ground. One 'person can
handle a quarter -acre of vegetable
garden in Jpare time, provided. he is
willing to devote an evening or so
a week to it. ,If this time is not
available then a much smaller pie'
should be chosen,
As a matter of fact, all experienced
gardeners advocate a small, well cul•
tivaited plot in preference to one
larger and receiving less care. The
.mailer plot, too, in+ the end will
produce the best and the most vege-
tables. If the original digging is
followed promptly and regularly
with from two to four thorough
'enitivat!ons, about a week or ten
days apart, the weeds will get dis-
couraged. To make sure, however,
that the weeds are killed and not
just temporarily put off from start-
ing, it is well to allow sufficient time
in between cultivation for the paste
to germinate and start to grow.

Did You Ever WONDER•
WHY THE WHALE IS CONSIDER-
ED AN ANIMAL, NOT A FISH?
Although it looks somewhat like a
Ash, and is born and lives only in
the ocean, the whale actually is the
largest f all animals. It is thought
,that the whae'a remote ancestors
were land antanats.
There are several reasons for
classing whales a animals. For one
th'ng, whales are warm-blooded,
Moreover, whales bring forth their
young alive, nourishing their babies
wth milk as do other mammals,
such as cows and horses,
Whales possess lung's, not gills
each as Ash use for breathing, and
have double circulation. The
whale usually comes to the surface
to breathe every 6 or 10 minutes,
but is capable of remaining under
water for much longer periods.
The strueiture of Nee whale pro-
vides farther indication of its kin-
ship with land animals. The whale
has a horizontal.dinned tail, as op•
Posed to the vertical tail fins of fish.
The whale's broad flat paddles are
really modified forelimbs. Within the
paddles may be found the Bones and
joints, most of 'the muscles, etc,
found in the human arm. The arm -
bones are greatly ,shontened and the
fingers mach elongated, having
many more. joints than. our human
fingers, but the structural resemb-
lance is plain.
