Ask for ic "SAL Cooperation --in older years Ilty "PEG" In a recent article we talked of cc -operation in the very tender years .of childhood. That is really the form- ative period of life. Many leaders in the medical profession believe that the training of children begins before birth and they have cited instances 'of the mental attitude of the Mother towards the coming Child and the nature of the little one coming to face a world of joy and sorrow and many times tribulation. If the mother is one who believes in her Saviour' then that feeling of love will be instilled in the coming child. Be that as it mag, 'the pity is that more expectant moth- ers are not true Believers. It is pa- thetic to -day now women face this great crisis in their .lives with noth- ing but earthly strength to lean up- on. A city mission worker of note says that "no single conversion of a 'sin - her has ever conte to his attention `where the man had not some early training in religion in the home or church, The }pay had been prepared." Who is going to prepare the way 'for this wonderful gift from God if the parents shirk • the responsibility? 'The child does not ask to be brought into the world. Life is so to speak 'thrust upon him and it is the duty of the mother and. father jointly, not singly to lead that child in such a way that he will start out to face the world knowing right from wrong, knowing the difference of the lead- ers, Christ or His adversary, the dev- il. The responsibiltiy of the early gaining belongs to the parents, and they must accept it or be prepared for the sentence whieh Christ will give to them at the great day of judgment. There are time when parents say "I have done everything in my pow- er to bring John up to love Gal and yet the seems to be going away from •ettr teaching altogether. "Have they tried to bring him up in their own atrength or have you relied on Ieader- ship from God? From an earthly viewpoint we are forced to believe that there willbe many sons and daughters who will not redeye the `swell done but countless members of families have been brought to 'Christ long after the praying mother land father have joined the host 'other time of our lives. "From bride and groom" on we will leave perhaps to some future time, when many of the young married couples of today have had time to think things over and to find out whether they are go- ing to be happy or if in their haste to enter the state of matrimony they have made a terrible mistake. Many of the 'errors along this line of the last war are still being lived down the and will be toend of theeha p ter. In business there is one thing which we must learn early and that is this we do not know everything there is to be learned. There are per- haps two or three things which we can learn from someone who has been in business some years longer than we have. Let us try to co-operate with every- one with who we have to work. If we can help them out in any way let us do it even if it should necessitate our working over time. Never be a clock watcher. The time may and in all probabilty will come when we will need the help of some one else. Begin your prayers on behalf of the coming child as son as you know that God is going to give you the gift. As you hold your infant in your arms, accept him as a loan from your Mak- er, This you must return to Him in a way pleasing to Him. He has not asked you to raise and. train the child alone. He will be your constant Helper if you asic Him too; Many parents break the command of God by keeping their children away from His House on the Sabbath. The time will come not only Beyond, but also here when they will regret thatstep. We have God's conunand. "Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God" That day be- longs to God and during its hours we must do His will, which is certainly not to disregard His Services. Only as we walk close to Him here can we expect to spent Eternity with Him. Now we have conte to the time When. the child starts to school., Here anuch co-operation is necessary: When there is trouble in school between teach- ers and pupils parents should not at once jump to the conclusion that the fault is always on the side of the tea- cher. A child will so often go home with a tale of woe of soiiie absolutely unjust punishment received for some fault which was not the chills at all, according to his story. Occasionally, We must admit that unjust punish- ment has been meted out but, do not blame the teacher without thinking the natter over carefully and never on any account condemn the teacher in front of the child. Questioning may convince you that the fault was largely on the part of the child, If your eon or daughter will not obey at hone how can you expect a tea- cher to control him or her. Do not side with the child against the teach- er nor talk it over in front of him. Be sure your child, is not in the wrong before taking sides at. all. We can all go back to our school days slid it does not take much- thinking to make us wonder how the teacher ever put up with us at all. Then we go into business or to .a home of our own. Here team work is needed perhaps more than at any prepare for his Sunday and mid week meetings.) Should we belong to any class: which will' not . co-operate in the Lord's work, jet us get down on our knees and pray that God will forgive us for our cruelty and injustice. to Jests. Christ who, did so much for us and who at last died ,the cruel death on the cross that we might join Him. through the Eternal Ages to come. "Through every .minute of this day, • Be with me Lord! Through every day of all this week, Be with me, Lord! • Through every week of all this year Be with me, Lord! Through all the years of all this life Be with me, Lord! - So slial1 the days and weeks and years. Be threaded on a golden cord, And all draw on with sweet accord Unto thy fulness, Lord, That so, when time is past, By grace, I may at last, Be with Thee, Lord. V Make our office hours a time of work not play. Be' very thorough in every detail and we will find that there is an interest in the work which we did not imagine was there before. Be courteous, never forget that we are supposed to be lady or a gentle- man, Do not belong to the class which says "No, indeed, I am not going to take that sort of thing from anyone" or "I was so busy and she asked' me to do something for her. You would. thing I had nothing to do but to run around helping her all the time. If I had helped her Icould not have been off at five o'clock" and so on and on. Make your place of business one of co-operation and you will soon see that you will be much happier. Short, snappy words will not help you any and may distress very liadly the one to whom you are speaking. At night look back over your day and think if by any chance you have hurt the feel- ings of a fellow worker. You, may 'leave' been positively cruel' in some of the things you have said. Shaine be on you if you have! Then perhaps the greatest place in which we need to use co-operation is in connection with church work. Here in the House where Christ Himself is the Chief Executive we should work well together. So often we find that a man or wo- nutn will not serve the Lord .on the Managing Board because some one else is on it. In our judgment, they are not just what they should be, An- other one will not belong to the Mis- sionary Society because she was not elected President or seine one else was .chosen as Secretary in the place which she held last year. "No, I will ,not teach in the Sunday School be- cause I do not like the Superinten- dent," A mother says "John is not going back to Sunday School, He was moved into the class with Sam Fisher. He belongs to that bunch down by the railroad track. They are alright, abut they are so poor." "No, I will not work in that church. The minister never calls on us and we go to. church every Sunday (why should he have ;to call, when you are able to be out?

Every mother has more ironing and pressing to do during school terms. No matter how simple a method we give you, the pile of laundry after a big wash is not diminished. If you want your clothes to keep their shape and be easy, to iron, put the dresses and blouses on clothes hangers and fuss with them a bit, so that they will dry smooth and straight. Button the buttons, z p the zippers, straig'hteeirthe seams, pockets and collars, and you all but iron the dresses. Be kind enough to hang them in the shade, so they keep their even colour:. Then when they are taken from the line fold them and stack in a basket instead of crumbling. It is a wise plan to sort linens, cottons, rayons, etc., and turn the garments inside -out, The rayons are dampened first, then cottons, lastly, the linens. Your hot iron will then be in use con- stantly — first for linens (which need a real hot iron), then the cot- tons, and rayons last as they must be pressed with the iron at low heat (Turning an automatic electric iron frequently from high to low requires time to adjust the temperature, and you are apt to damage the switch). When ` dampening, be sparing of moisture on spun rayon, a little more lavish on cottons and linens. Use a preforated capped bottle, a clean brush or your finger tips for producing a fine even sprinkle. Cover.the dampened clothes in a basket for an hour, or overnight . . .longer may cause minute mould growth. Begin on the seam or hem of the article; do not run into corners. Iron with the weave of the material. Iron with long even strokes, as the steam escapes more freely than when short strokes are used. Do not press into folds more than is necessary or the sharp edges may soon frayWhen ironing garments press the thin parts of the material first before they dry out. Hang each article over a clothes rack to air thoroughly, hanging blouses, shirts and dresses on hangers. May we remind you that in these full -scheduled days of time, eon- servation net to press . articles you -need not iron -- bath towels, dish towels, etc. . . no one is doing Un- necessary jobs. TAKE A TIP 1. Rayons need very low heat. It is wise to try; the iron first on a portion of the fabric- that does not show. 2. Jersey silk, etc., need moderate to low heat. A .damp presshig cloth should be used on the wrong side of the garment. 8. Wools need moderate heat. Again, a damp pressing cloth should be placed on the wrong side of fabric and iron should be pressed dower lightly.

Rental Regulations Do Not Apply to Agricultural Land Revised rental regulations effective throughout Canada do not apply to any real property used solely for agricultural purposes. This will in - elude land n-eludeiand used for Victory garden- ing. The exemption of farmlands and any property used for agricultural purposes means that their tenants. or landlords will be governed by the same laws that were effective in peace times. Maximum rentals, changes of rentals, and termination of leases for this property are not subject in,any way to the regulations. of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board, but are subject to laws of the Province in which the property is situated.

Robert Syer, consultant for the Management 'Service Division, War- time Prices and Trade Board. One packer has reported that 88 per cent of hogs received during the past month were "selects", which is "some- thing which has never happened be- fore". Continued improvements are expected. According to Mr. Syer, the breeding of better grades of hogs has been achieved to meet the re- quirments of markets where higher prices are offered for better grades and where sales of low . grade hogs are practically negligible. Potato Prices Will Vary in Different Sections' Legal maximum prices which may be charged by growers selling to consumers of potatoes in the West- ern Ontario region vary slightly in different sections, according to W. Harold McPhillips, prices and supply representative for Western Ontario region. This variation is brought about by the fact that the grower is entitled to the legal wholesale price and a mark-up. The legal. whole- sale price is dependent on freight rates. The mark-up for the grower to the consumer is 40 cents on a 100 pound bag; 30 cents on a 75 pound bag; 25 cents for 50 pounds; 15 cents for 25 pounds; 12 cents for 15 pounds 8 cents for 10 pounds, and for smaller quantities one-eighth cents per pound Growers selling direct to consumers may determine the legal wholesale price to retailers by applying to the Board's regional office. Legal prices of grower to consumer in various markets of the region; Brantford, Galt, Kitchener, $2.14 a bag; Guelph $2.13; Stratford., Woodstock, London, $2.15 a bag; Chatham, St. Thomas, $2.10; Windsor and Sarnia, $2.17; Owen Sound, $2.19, The price per peck is 49 cents in all the above Iisted markets except Owen Sound where it is 50 cents. V West Gets Seventy Farm Helpers from Huron Seventy farm laborers from Huron county have gone West to help with the harvest, and eighty more who wished to go were refused permits, according to E. H. Hill, Selective Ser- vice officer at Goderich. In every case where a permit was granted the employer was consulted by J..0. Shearer, eounty agricultural repres- entive,, and •an investigation made. The number who did go is considered fairly large considering farm labor conditions here, but was made poss- ible by the fact of a failure of the spring crops, permitting many fann- ers to get along without extra help. This applies mostly to central and northern sections of the county. The men's transportation to the West was paid and they may buy a return ticket for $i3O.

Only a small part of the complete snapshot was used. MANY a dull snapshot can be made Into a salon type picture simply by trimming away useless material -or, better, by masking out superfluous details when an enlarge- ment is made. Judicious trimming can often change the whole mood and mean- ing of a picture. Most pictures, as taken, include details that do not. belong—surplus material at top, bottom, or sides that blurs the pic- ture's meaning and takes away its "punch." Thepicture presented here is an excellent' example. In the complete negative a mass of unessential sur- rounding detail distracted attention from the real picture. Only when the Lull print was trimmed, or "cropped" severely, did the kitten stand out as a cute and playful little fellow with direct and questioning eyes. Lines that tended to lead the eye out of the picture, and "detract from the principal alibied, were eliminated or subdued. Cropping, as illustrated here, is good medicine for ailing pictures. Try it on your own. Cut two L- shaped masks of white cardboard and use tliem as an adjustable frame to study your own prints. By adjusting them, you eau ohmage the shape of a picture, fit shape to com- position, and extract the heart of a snapshot from all surrounding de- tail. You will find that some pic- tures compose best as long panels; others almost 'square. Medium dis- tance shots can be made into close- ups, through enlarging, by this method, and some subjects can be dramatized by cropping at an angle. In these days of flue.grained films, most pictures can be cropped quite generously, and then enlarged with minimum loss of quality. And any good picture isworth enlarging to comfortable viewing size. Try crop- ping your pictures today. Ion sure You'll be pleased with the results. John van Guilder
