Each year there is es- tablished a fixed minimum price per ton on grapes which must be paid by the Ontario Wineries to the Grape Growers. This price is arrived at by mutual agreement between the Niagara Gralie Grow- ers Association and the Niagara Peninsula Growers representing the Grape Growers, and the Wine Producers Association represent- ing Wineries. This price is ap- proved by the Liquor Control Board of Ontario. The Wineries, therefore, represent an assurance of profitable return to the Grow- ers. Peaches are again in third place with a crop value of $1,162,- 848.10. This is an increase over the 1940 crop of $350,448.10. The quantity of peaches produced this year was 670,400 bushels, an increase of 75,400 bushels over 1940. The 1941 figures compared with the 1940 figures on the other crop is an outstanding instance, o$,. fruit oxo eve as . folio«sm. A preliminary estimate of pro- duction and value of thefruit crops in Ontario for 1941 just made available by the Ontario De- partment of Agriculture, discloses that apples again led in value of production, with $1,242,075.04. This was a decrease of $62,624.96 from the 1940 apple crop value. The quantity of apples produced last year was 614,871 compared with 783,000 bushels in 1940. Grapes were again in second place in dollar value with a pro- duction of 22,500 tons valued at $1,189,294.71. Although the ton- nage of grapes grown was less by 2,450 tons, there was an increase in income return to the grape growers of $265,594.71. About 70 per cent of the grape crop is purchased by the wineries - and this increase in commercial return was largely due to the in- crease of $10.00 per ton (from $40.00 to $50.00) in t' e price paid by the wineries to the grape growers. ..

The enrichment of white flour and bread with vitamins and min- erals. The "cure" of gray hair in hu- mans by daily doses of one of the B vitamins, paraatninobenzoic acid. The great aurora of September 18. The production of more and larger airplanes for war use. The development of sulfadia- zine spray treatment for burns. Evidence that fowls constittite a reservoir for encephalitis or sleeping sickness ana that mos- quitoes carry the virus. Evidence that infantile paral- ysis may be spread by flies. Production of magnesium for airplanes by "mining' sea water. Development and construction of a new type of cargo ship,, Sea Otter II., welded and powered with auto engines. TREE RINGS Dondrochronology, the science of reading and charting tree rings to determine past weather condi- tions, etc., has enabled W. S. Stallings, Jr,, of Santa Fe, N.M., to date a pinion pine log taken from an ancient Indian storage pit near ICannub, Utah, at 217 A.D„ says Pathfinder. This is the earliest definite date assign- ed to a structure in the South- west. Comparing the log's rings with the dendrochronological cal- endar, he found that it flourished from. 91 until it was out down in 216 A.D. TIN PLATE John S. Nachtnian, director of research of the Sharon Steel Cor- poration, has developed a new process for electroplating tin on steel sheet, strip and wire which saves tt=ont 40 'i:e 90 per cent in pig tin. The steel material is first given a "flash" coating of a metal other than tin, where- upon tin is deposited and bright- ened by melting it. It is claim- ed that this tin coating is more resistant to rusting than hot - dipped tin plate. War In Sand, Jungle And Snow No war was ever so literally a world war as this, which is fought in Arctic snows, in desert wastes, and in equatorial jungles. From the cold Russian front, which stretches far beyond the Arctic Circle, the war spreads south to the Libyan sands, and the steam- ing, fever -filled Malayan wilder- ness. Each zone has its unique prob- lems and hardships for soldiers. In the north they freeze, their guns go out of commission, their airplanes are hard to keep in the air. In the desert they struggle with water shortages and sand- storms. And in the jungle they must hack their way through en- twined underbrush. But whatever the conditions, man is able to conquer, or, at least., stand up to them.

MdeCan a. Arig t �..-, .bra•.=i Animal Fats U In New Sh v uteri ng N e w Blended Shortening Combination of Meet Fete and Vegetable 011s Development of an important new market for the fanner is in- dicated by the announcement that domestic meat fats are now being utilized in the production of Can- adian shortenings. Greatly increased hog praise - tion of fat exports to Great Bri- tain might well have created a problem situation, but for the in- tervention od shortening manu- facturers both In eastern and west- ern Canada. Coupled with the need to develop a new outlet for these domestic fats, has been the Do- minion government's import re- strictions on vegetable oils form- erly used in large quantities for shortening manufacture. The new blended shortening, as it Is palled, oombines Canada's own meat fats with a proportion of vegetable oils to produee a product compar- able in every way with the old type of shortening made from im- ported vegetable oils alone. Dr. H. Pl. Robinson, eminent Am- erican nutrition research authority in recent consultation with the Dominion Government's experts on the fats and oils situation said, "Fats are essential In the diet. They supply more than twine the energy of other foods. They can help Canada win the war." According to Dr. lPdna Guest, convenor of the committee on pub- lic health for the National Coat. - oil of Women, and its represent- ative on the Canadian Council on Nutrition, "We must have animal fats in the diet. They are neces- sary for actual existence. An ode. quate diet is the key to Britain's security. With such facts before us we should search our markets to see that meat fats are always procurable. In the new blended shortening we find these very de- sirable essentials. Such develop- ments as fortification of flour and the production of this new type of shortening, using meat fats as well as vegetable oils, deserve our study and serious consideration." Use of the blended shortening entails no changes in existing recipes. It is used in the same quantities, in the same way, and with the same results. Italians Release Wounded Airmen Five wounded airmen, mem- bers of the crew of a British bomber which crashed within the do£oneiaa of I aliaya, . Ner ..e r e,_. brought out under a white .fIag by an Italian medical officer to receive attention from South Af- rican besieging the position. The officer, who was permit- ted to pass through the lines un- molested, said the Italians in Halfaya lack medical supplies and it was only humane to bring the airmen to their friends. The South Africans sent the Italian back under safe conduct with a large supply of surgical dressings.

We Should Not Forget The Dutch They Are Giving Valuable Aid to Our Mcht In Rattle of Pacific We must not overlook a< tower of strength which is aleo on ear side in the Pacific and which lase been inflicting damage on the enemy in. a manner rather to be expected from the descendants of those who once ruled the `seas. Holland's total fleet, when the country was overrun in 1940, sen- ounted to 120 vessels of variola categories, from battle cruisers to mine -layers and patrol boats. Practically this entire force got away from the Nazis, but since then 14 ships have been sunk. As of last September, 89 Dutch naval units were operating ha European waters, so that eve sire conservative in stating that more than 50 ships are now in Tho Netherlands East Indies service. And how are they doing? Well, the toll so far its half a dozen troopships laden with Japaneso soldiers, a blow to enemy land strength, never mind the ships, which could equal in ultimate strategical and tactical value as many battleships. These are the eons of the men who chased the French and the Spaniards out of lith very Pa- cific; the sons, too, of the ]nen who veiled up the Thames and burned the British fleet right un- der the nose of all London. — Chicago Sun. S SUMS Indian Fighters Outwit Japanese The British Broadcasting Cosa- poration told of messages from Singapore, praising the "magni- ficent work" of Indian troops from the North Malayan front. One story received, typical of many, told of how three Indian soldiers led a Japanese column . into a disastrous trap. When the three Indians were captured by the Japanese, an in- terpreter told them they would be well rewarded if they would lead the troops to the rear of a certain British position. "The Indians pretended to agree," the broadcast said, "and were marched in front of a Jap- anese column with tommy guns pressed into their backs." "But instead of leading the en- emy behind the British lines, the Indians dauntlessly led them straight into the line of British cross fire. "Flinging. themseles to the .ground as the British troops op- ened fire, they miraculously es- caped being killed." The Japanese were either wiped out or fled in disorder. The In- dians then identified themselves and rejoined their unit. New Income Tax For Russian People A war -time income tax affect- ing most Russians who earn the equivalent of $1 a day or more became effective January 1, authorities announced. Levies range from $25 on sal- aries of $365 a year to $545 on those of $4,800. Partial payments are to be made monthly. All citizens over 18 except So- viet army and navy personnel, their dependents and invalids are liable. Canada Will Use Jap Fishing Fleet Plans have been approved by the Government for putting back into 'production the 1,100 vessels of the British Columbia Japanese fishing fleet which was Immo. bilized by Government restric- tions. The fleet, owned by persons of Japanese origin, is valued at be- tween $2,000,000 and $3,000,000:. Some 980 units are impounded near New Westminster and the remainder at Prince Rupert and other Pacific ports, They were impounded when the Government ruled that fish- ing by those of Japanese racial origin would be prohibited in all Canadian waters, and banning Japanese from serving on any fishing vessels. The production of the Japanese Belling fleet in British Columbia contributed largely to the food supplies of the Empire, it was said. This led to a Government deeieion that action must be taken at once to get the immobilized fleet back into operation while preserving for the Japanese own- ers their equity in the vessels.
