SIEGI+RIED LINE DATA BERLIN—What the Seigfried Line is like was told in a recent issue or t rmy ee y, tar Woe en, blah" Some 22,000 steel and cement pillboxes are located 'at• strategic' spotsin an irregular line from the lower Rhine south to the Swiss bord- er. This belt of fortifications — plus its anti-aircraft gun emplacements — extends to a depth of 30 miles inside the German frontier. To stop tanks and motorized equip- ment of attacking forces, miles of traps dug into the earth alternate with miles of steel and cement ob- structions. To stem the tide of inpouring .in- fantry, 3,000,000 rolls of barbed wire stretch through the area. The construction of the line, be- gun a year ago last May, is said to 'be virtually completed. A. permanent force of fortification engineers re- mains on duty, however, to carry out improvements and keep the elaborate system in constant readiness. At peak construction last October, 342,000 men, drafted from the entire country, were at work, plus an eng- ineering staff of 90,000 men and 100,000 labor service workers. They used 8,000 carloads of mater- ial daily. One third of Germany's annual cement production. — 6,000,000 tons of it — went into the barrier.

PROFITABLE INVESTMENT (Amherstburg Echo) Why does a family , spend about four cents a week to get a subscrip- tion 'to a weekly newspaper? An- swers to question constitute a sales story that needs telling over and over if we are to get and 'hold the circula- tion we need. Here are some thoughts: Four cents a week means just' a little mare than half -a -cent a day. It's a small amount. The aver- age child wastes more than that every day, A special sale, advertis- ing a thirty -cent item for twenty- three cents,:. will save sev,en cents, pay>,tig the cost of the newspaper, and giving a profit of three cents.

James G. Gardiner, Dominion Minister of Agriculture. The members of she Committee recommended are six officers of the Department of Agriculture, namely: Chairman, A. M. Shaw, Director of Marketing; Di. A. T. Charron, Assist- ant Deputy Minister; R, S. Hasner, Executive Assistant; Dr. E. S. Archi- bald, Ditector, Dominion Experiment al Farms; G. B. Rothwell, Director of Production and Dr, J. M. Swaine, Director of Research, The objective of the Committee is to keep agriculture functioning in a manner which will supply the food and fibre needs of the people of Can- a& and their Allies in the war dur- ing the period of the war, and to - leave the farmer, as far as possible, in a position to follow his natural peace time pursuit at the -end of the war. The methods by which the objective is to be accomplished are: 1. Through cooperation with the Provinces and appointment of advis- ory boards representative of the in• dustry who will assist government in making the decisions reached and their objectives known to the farmers concerned. 2. Through regulation of distribu- tion and—or purchase of feed, seed, fertilizers, insecticides, fungicides and other materials .for use in the production of farm products. 3. Through negotiation or other- wise with the assistance and approval of the War Time Prices and Trade Board, and with the approval of the Governor in Council arrange for the disposal of farm products consumed at home, and in the allied countries or. elsewhere in such a manner as to keep branches of the industry neces- sary to a successful prosecution of the war, functioning efficiently and. continuously. • READ THE ADVERTISEMENTS IN THE NEWS -RECORD IT CAN'T BE DONE It is almost impossible to get away with anything these days. The story is told, and it is said to be au- thentic, that a woman in Winnipeg, had made herself a bedspread of a most unusual design. She ran out of yarn, however, and couldn't get en exact match, so one corner of the spread was very slightly differ- ent front the rest, She washed the spread and set it out to dry, only to have somebody steal it. Visiting in Montreal shortly after, her hostess said she 'was invited to view a bride's wedding presents and asked the Winnipeg woman to go eldng, and there she saw 'her missing bed- spread, positively identified by the odd corner. Shle laiskced who had sent the spread and found that it wan her next-door neighbor in Winnipeg.—Hanover Post. ,''HURCII DIRECTORY THE BAPTIST CHURCH 'Rev. A. E.

Perhaps it would be a wise plan, to divert some of the money spent on developing new types of wheat. along research channels, which msy reveal new uses for wheat, since it. is getting to be quite a problem to, find a market for the surplus grain the country is able to produce. GUILD' NAPS i e ANIMAL PICTURES Any barnyard Is full of excellent human -interest picture chances ...such. as this close-up shot of a hen mothering her chicks. ,1x71-1BN someone mentions bird I' and animal pictures, moat of us think of zoo, forests, or the African jungle. But—if you live on or near a farm :yon have access to a number of fine aahnal subjects. And, take my word for It, domestic animals yield just as good pictures' as. wild Ones. Just for the fun of it, why not spend a day picturing farm animals?. Go after expressive, human -interest shots, such as a hen mothering her brood, or, pigs struggling for position at the trough. Shoot close-ups of a placid, cud'chewiugcow, or a husky work -horse -just as if you were tak- ing pictures of a person. Many ani- mals have definite, almost -human expressions at times ... and they'll make fine pictures for your album. Distant shots, showing the animal small, will be disappointing unless it happens to be an incidental figure in a scenic, Moat focusing camerae are adjusted to takensublects as, near as six Peet: many four feet, or- even less. Many bbx cameras can be. set for subjects as near as five. And, if you slip a portrait attachment on, the camera lens, you o'an get even. closer. Or, you can take a shot at normal distance, and have the best. part of the negative enlarged to give. a close-up effect. It's not necessary to show all oP a large animal, such as a cow or - horse. Indeed, the head alone often; makes a better. picture, Choose the. viewpoint which 'shows the bead and. expression most effectively—and' lire away. Keep the background elm-- Ple--changing yon' position when: necessary to get distracting objects: out of the camera's field of view. Take your camera .to the farm .., keep your eyes open ... shoot wisely and often. You'll find that any wen- stocked barnyard yields splendid' picture dividends. 249 John van Guilder
