Here Bren gun carriers roll from one of the much- touted invasion barges that did such a good job in the "practice invasion" of the German -held Lofoten Islands off the coast of Norway, • l 11? Two very weary soldiers were hiking the long, long road bad to camp. It was a lovely evening and presently one paused to ad- mire the sunset and the view. "Isn't it lovely?" he exclaimed. "It makes me feel like the poet. 'Oh, for the wings of a dove,' you know." The other wiped his streaming brow and retorted: "I'd rather have the breast of n chicken, thanks." i Pat got a job in a railroad 'station. When the first train came in, however, he forgot the name of the station, so he- called out: "Here ye are for where ye are going. All in there for here, come out." "Now, children, said the teach- er, after a nature lesson,."I have told you how the little new birds learn to fly. I'II play the piano and I want you to imitate' the birds' movements in time to the music." As the music went on, all the children waved their arms ener- getically, lvith one exception, "Comae along, Johnny," said the teacher coaxingly: "why dict you not imitate the little newly batch- ed birds at I told you?" "Please, teacher," replied the irrepressible small boy, "Ills a bad egg!„ "Is the doctor in?"' "No, sir." "Do you know when he'll be back?" "I don't know, sir he went out on an eternity case." A male nurse in a mental hos- pital noticed a patient with his ear close to the wall, Iistening in- tently. The patient held up a finger as a warning for him to be very quiet: then beckoned him over and said: "You listen' here." The nurse put his ear to the wall and listened for some time, then turned to the patient and said: "I can't hear anything." "No," said the patient, "and it's been like that all day.", _ There appeared in the Muggleton Times the follow- ing advertisement: "If John Jones, who deserted his wife and babe some twenty yearn ago will return, ,the said babe will knock the stuffing out of him."

Use a regular steel drill, and keep the point of contact saturated with camphorated oil or turpentine. You will be surprised at the ease with which this is done. Q. How can I remove grass stains from white canvas shoes? A. Add a few drops of house • - hold ammonia to one teaspoonful of peroxide. Rub the stains with this solution, then wash off. Q. How can I remove old wall • paper from niy walls? A. Use a strong solution of sal -soda and water. Boil the mix- ture and apply while hot. After a 'few applications, the soda will eat through the glue side and the paper will come off readily. Q. How can I restore flan- nels, that have become hard and. shrunken, to their former soft- ness? A. Soak the flannels in gaso- line for a few hours. Then wash in soft soapsuds as usual, and rinse in clear water of the same temperature. Q.' How can I clean old soiled photographs.? A. Rub over their surface with some soft, white bread. They will clean very nicely. Q. How can I. clean windows very well without water? A. First wipe the windows with a dry dusting cloth; then go over them with a soft rag dip- ped in kerosene; and finally pot- -ish with tissue paper or chamois. Windows cleaned in this manner will not only look unusually bright, but will keep clean longer than washed ones. S ng Crrmposers Compete at C.N.E. .,1. Song Writers of Every Age In All Parts of the Dominion Show Great Interest in Ex- hibition Contest C.N.E. authorities report that the response to date in the Cana- dian song -writing contest which is being sponsored by the Canadian National Exhibition on behalf of the Music and Lyric Composers of Canada association, has been amazing, particularly in view of the fact that this is the first time such a competition' has been staged under C.N.E. auspices. Every day, it is stated, letters pour into the Exhibition head- quarters from composers of every age and sex, located in every part of the Dominion, from Vancouver to Halifax, from Northern On- tario, the Prairie provinces, Que- bec, and Prince Edward Island. The response has incidentally, been most heavy from Vancouver. Two separate groups of'composi- tions are scheduled, popular and patriotic songs. A large number of entries have been received in ' both classes, though the prepon- derance to date has been in the patriotic group, an understandable result of war -time fervour, • Opportunity to Display Talents Canadian composers in general through their letters hail the com- petition as being a long step in the direction of providing ahem with an opportunity to display their talents which might other- wise be unrecognized. It is also, they state, a much needed boost to the establishment of an inher- ently Canadian type of music. The compositions entered will be judged by competent adjudi- cators selected by the C.N.E., and. will be played and sung during the•rut of the 1941 Canadian Na- tional Exhibition. ,Gold, silver and bronze medals will be pre- sented by the C.N.E. to the first three prize -winners respectively in each group.

Four At A Time For >ea.vet<bFrok The New British Minister of Supply Uses Four Telephones at Once, Talking About Any- thing Front Politics to Hair Cuts The British house of Ominous was given a word picture of Lord Beaverbrook the other day when hie snccessov as minister of air- craft production, Lieut. -Col. J. T. C. Moore-Brabazon, said "he robbed every hen roost up and down the oountry to produce planes which never, under any cireumstancee, could have been produced other- wlse," HE DOES IT COHERENTLY "When I. visited Lord Beaver- brook," Coh Moore-Brabazon con- tinued, "ate reminded me of those filets where everyone is talking over the telephone at the same time. Ifound him interviewing four people at the same tanto coherently. He was talking to America over tato phone and at the saute time ordering a hairdresser to come around to out his hair in the of- fce." Lord Eeaverbrok, as minister of supply, is now Utley repeating the airplaneWeenie in the matter of tanks. Searching For War Minerals Department of Mines and Re. sources Pians SurVey in North West in Search of Es. sential Metals For War Pur- poses Dr. Charles Clinton of Ottawa, deputy minister of mines and com- missioner of bite North West Ter- ritories, said in a recent interview that the Dominion gological sur- vey during this summer will make a special effort to increase discov- eries iscoseries and production of essential war minerals, D. Damsen was en route to Yellowknife, N.W,T., and other northern mining points. SEEK TUNGSTEN, MANGANESE Increased output is being sought and obtained in gold and oil, Mr. Canteen 'said. "But thie is to im- prove Canada's exchange position rather than because they are stra- tegic minerals." There is a certain shortage of some war minerals Emelt as Lung- sten, manganese, chromite, vanad- ium and aluminum, which is pro ceased only in Canada. The alumin- unc position Es fairly good." Change of Pasture For Sheep Flock Old pastures which have been. used year after year are the main cause for the prevalence of intern- al parasites, says the Ottawa .Farm Journal. Frequent changes of mis- tiest are. important for the health of the ewe flock and the growth and development of the lamb crop. Tills is the season of the year when haying is being completed— to arrange for a change of pasture for ewes. Pasture should be chang- ed every 10 days or, two weeks if possible. The more frequent the change of pasture the more rapid will be the growth and develop - anent of the lamb ,crop. Infant Enterprise.

Check With Care Food and Water If :Holidaying. in Out of the Way Places Why Take a Chance on Contaminated Water or Spoiled Food Whilst drinking water supplies have been improved generally, it is not safe to -use water from' any, and all sources in out of way planes, Pollution may bo present only at infrequent intorvahs but wily take a chance. Usually a pre is avail- s/14e and where this is so, water for drinking or washing raw vegetables or melting utensils should be brought to boil before using. If when "vaeatlonng on wheels" a fire is dangerous or out of the question ' the simplest method of purifying your water is to chlorinate it. This can be petnfoi'med quite easily • by using the chlor'hto outfit to be had tow GO cents at the Ontario Depart- ment of Health, Parliament Build- ings, Toronto. Vacationists or res• idents unable to eouveuteutly secure their chlorine outfit from the above source may employ the following method: TO PURIFY WATER Prepare a solution by adding half a teaspoonful of fresh chlori- nated lime to one pint of : water. Use one teaspoonful of this solution to ten gallons of water to be puri- fied, 36 drops to one gallon, or 9 dropsto one -quart. Let the water stand at least 16 minutes before dosing. The solution should be freshly prepared for each chlorin- ation. Taiblets of . calcium hypo- ohlorite and ampules of the dry powder can be procured for this pmnpose and are the most satiate°. tory since they do not Iose their strength if properly sealed, Food supplies need watching, see that they are properly stored at low temperature. Do not allow food sup- plies to get hot by day and cool off nightly on successive days. Main- tain diem at an even low tenrpera- ture Where ice is used see that the source is reliable. Cheese Output Up 54 Per Cent Substantial Increase Is Seen in Canadian Production For Month of June Over May Figure A 64 per cent increase in Cana- dian cheese production during June was regarded by spokesmen at the agricultural branch of the Dominion Bureau of Statistics as indication Chat farmers are heeding the goy- eminent oyeminent plea for increased produc- tion. Bureau figures showed June pro - di odes totalling 25,550,190 pounds. 64 per cent in advance of the prev- ious month's output, and 6 per cent. ahead of the June stake last year, whish totalled 24,050,315.

Days The Toronto papers, says the Temiskaming Speaker, reported two cases where Car drivers were fined for travelhtg along the Queen Elizabeth Way with but one hand apiece on the steering wheel. The other encircled the waists of their respective fair companions. That, an old tinier claimed, demonstrates -clearly where the good old days had it over the Present stream - need age in one respect. In that bygone era, he held, the lines could lie over the dashboard and the driver and his girl -friend devote themselves to other natters, kuow- iug Dobbin could be depsndel upon to see the buggy dict not upset. One horse between the shafts act- ed much differently from eighty under hhe hood, the veteran said. Should Not Worry On Your Holiday A few words on how not to worry might not, be inappropriate at this time. ' Some people persist in taking their pet office worry with, them on their vacation. Don't. Worry is the most futile of all bad habits. It' can do no good. It can cause definite harm. It reacts on the nervous system, causing indigestion and insomnia, which in turn causes more worry and so a vicious circle ,goes on. Train yourself to accept life for what it is rather than fretting about whatit is not. Learn to relax it is the onlymeans of treating the vicious circle. _ With rest and relaxation should cone less nervous irritability; better sleep, better digestion end fewer worries. This is the only way to break the circle. This is what your holidays are really for. While you can, Rest and Relax. You owe it to yourself, your busi- ness, and to your country. Ersatz Fuel Gasoltne'is so scarce in Holland Ghat civilian meter oars have had to be equipped with awkward eon- traptions (some of them larger than the ears themselves) which produce a oral or wood gas as ensatz motor fuel, according to an article in the current issue of The Knickerbocker Weekly, the Free Netherlands magazine in the Un- ited States, These grotesque at- taohments--s•ome are like outboard motors traiiing along behind the . oars, while others ride on the tops like a balloon barrage -but -n wood or coal and produce enough gas for a motor trip of, at the most, twenty miles. Such are the bless- ings of the Nazi "now order" to the people of occupied Holland. "Many a ring battle has been lost in advance by worry." —Gene Tenney. Tie up ;to Ogden's!
