Zurich Herald, 1942-02-05, Page 7VW NNIPEG BUILDS ROPFILERS Among the numerous war industries spread across the West is a plant in Winnipeg where pro,;cllers are built for Canada's training planes. Modern machinery, such as the devicte shown here, helps speed up production. This "profiling lathe" does a job in thirty minutes that used to take an experienced worker six hours. Modern Etiquette 1. Isn't a young person en- titled to all the pleasure he can get out of life? 2. What colors of ink should be used for correspondence? 8. Is it all right for a man to hail a woman on the street? 4. Is it proper to take a wo- man across a room for the pur- pose of introducing her to a than?. 5. Is it permissable for a mo- ther and her son to have joint visiting cards? 6. What is essential to have a perfectly set table? Answers - 1. Yes, if the pleasure is in- nocent and moderate. Moderation should be practiced in all things. Colton wrote, "The seeds of re- pentance are sown in youth by pleasure, but the harvest is reap- ed in age by panic. 2. Black or dark blue ink should be used. Persons of good taste do not use fancy paper or colored inks. B. Yes, if he knows her well. 4. No; the man is always brought across the room to meet the wo- man. 5. No. A man may have a joint card with his wife but does not share one with his ano- ther, daughter or sister. 6. Every- thing verything should be spaced perfectly, and all silverware balanced, with the centerpiece in the exact cen- ter. Beyond this rule the table may be set as the hostess chooses. Have Y©u Heard? A filling station man answered the distress call of a stalled car some few miles down the road. Arriving at the scene, he found the fluttering female driver, pull - lag and jerking and peering but to no avail. His brief once-over revealed that the car was out of gas. "Oh," sighed the lady with re- lief, "I'm so glad that's the only trouble. But do you suppose it would hurt if I drove home on an empty tank?" Doctor: I'm Dr. Peter, and you have just regained con- sciousness after the crash. Motorist: Oh, For a sec- ond you gave me such a shock. I thought you said you were St. Peter! Not being fit for military ser- vice, a little man triede for a job as a striker in a blacksmith's shop. After looking him over the smith picked up the biggest ham- mer and threw it out of the win- dow, saying: "If you can do this you can start work." The little man picked up the anvil and threw it after the ham- mer, saying: "O.K., are we work- ing outside?" • Teacher: "What is a rab- bit?" Johnny: "Dad says it's an animal that grows the fur that other animals get credit for when It is made into a coat." He sat fidgeting and nervous in the solicitor's waiting -room. A olerk entered. "I' say," said the client, beck- oning to him. "I have an appoint- ment with the solicitor at ten o'clock. It's about a legacy." "And how long have you been waiting?" "Twenty years!" replied the other. Masao iTOPPED d» 4 a ti%flq *or Money Beek nth - *404 relief itching of otIetcrnslly <moo Skin troubles, no toweling, cooling, anti. len Iinidy D. D. D.

HOW CAN 1? BY ANNE ASHLA Y Q. liow can I mak an ink for writing on glass, ivory, or other smooth surfaces? A. Ure 3 parts nitrate of sil- ver, 20 p.:rte gum arable, 30 parts distilled water. Dissolve the gitrn arabic in two-thirds of the water, the nitrate of silver in the other third. Then niix, and add the de- sired color. Q. How can I make the creas- es in trousers last longer? A. Try putting a teaspoonful of sugar into a cup of water and sponging the creases in the trous- ers with this solution when press- ing thein. Q. Ilow can I make a de. ora- tive salad? A. By cutting some hart -boil- ed eggs in six lengthwise slices and arranging petal -fashion around mounds of chopped pickle, mixed with sabred dressing. Serve on lettuce. Q. I -low: can I test tine quality Of table linen? A. A good method for testing table linen is to secure a sample and flip it into any kind of oil. The linen threads will become al- most transparent, enabling one to see very readily how many cotton threads :t contains. Q. How can I keep the juice of fruit pies from running over? A. If a soda cracker is rolled into fine pieces and sprinked over the lower crust of a fruit pie, it will prevent the juices from running over into the oven. Dried Apples Raise Fund For England Rt. Hon. Vincent Massey, Can- adian High Commissioner, handed the Lord Mayor of London, Sir John Laurie, a cheque for £56,678 ($252,000) for the air raid dis- tress fund. • One of the largest single con- tributions to the fund, the money carne from the sale by the minis- try of food of dried apples sent by the Canadian government and the Canadian Red Cross.

WhAt Science is Doing BOARDS FROM OATS Stucco, plaster, wall board and insulation — all from oats — are the latest development in build- ing materials revealed in a pat- ent (No. 2,269,5GO) granted to Michael J. flatelja of Portland, Ore. Thi patent papers eonta'.ned a plead :rash of the inventor's own tout e snenaia d with oat stucco which looks IT .e stone. '3o prepare the stucco and pleeter, oats are first pulverized, t':n: a nutted a th water, one pound to twenty poends of water. Nextl the taiett;ie is cooked at 212 de- .rr;.r's Falu'.'nheit until it be- comes jellyliie. A small amount of sassafras oil is added to prevent mold growth. The mass is then mixed cvitli a fibront; material, like grorud new•eapers, straw or rags, to obtain the desired con- sietency. The resulting compound may be applied like conventional plas- ter or stucco, it is said. Or it may be molded into boards, tile or bricks. On setting it becomes hard and tough. SCIENTIFIC NOTE In perverse contradiction of the accepted theories on drink- ing and driving, one Toronto mo- tor'.st is accustomed to drive with especial care after he has taken one or two drinks. I'a::arning nom a stag party one recent evening, he was hug- ging the curb and proceeding at not more tb'tn fifteen miles an hour when he was startled by the sudden apl:earnnce of two po- li:•omen, one on each running - bo 'rd. "Step on it, biddy," shouted one of them, "and catch that ear ahead. The driver's drunk." Had Moses Foreseen Our Misuse of Land Without flippaney and with all reverence, it is suggested in a re- cent issue of 'Citriculture" (Cali- fornia) that if Moses had forseen man's woeful misuse of land in every country and in every age— the wastage of soil by man's sui- cidal agriculture and the resulting man-made deserts and ruined ci- vilizations — if he had foreseen the desolation caused by man's ignorance or greed, or both, Moses no doubt, would have been inspired to amplify the Ten Com- mandments to ensure man's un- derstanding and observance of his trinity of responsibilities — his responsibility to his Creator, his responsibility to his fellow -men, nd his responsibility to Mother Earth. Such an amplification might. have been given in these words: "Thou shalt inherit the mill as a faithful steward, con- serving its resources and fertility from generation to generation. Thou shalt safeguard thy fields from soil erosion, the living wat- ers from drying up, thy forests from desolation, and protect thy country from overstocking or over -grazing, so that thy descend- ants shall never be deprived of their abundance." -- St. Thomas Times -Journal.

Sado in Canada. weirdveganWrelftellOnillreillWiCe Fe r lens Won't Like Blackouts Attorney - General Conant, chairman of Ontario A.R.P. caxn- mittee, agrees with complaints filed with him by York County farmers, who say that, when the power is turned off during black- outs, egg -laying will slow up. The farmers say that chickens must have light at certain hours, or they will stop laying. Mr. Conant agrees this is so, and while he sighs over the many problems involved in ARP prepar- aion, says the blackout regula- tions must be amended to take care of the situation. In Ontario, it is pointed out, there are thousands of chicken hatcheries, and a serious produc- tion problem might ensure if power is cut off, Mr, Conant has invited'the farmers to make sug- gestions as to how best to regu- late blackouts, so as not to in- terfere with chickens. Roosevelt Prefers "United. Nations" It looks as if the term "United Nations" is going to be preferred in this war to the designation "Allies" used in the First World War. In his speech before Congress reeently President Roosevelt spoke of "we of the United Na- tions" alluding to. the 26 -nation agreement pledging a war to the finish against the axis and pro- mising no separate peace by any of the participants. That agreement was headed "Declaration by United Nations." It was reported the president did most of the drafting of the declaration and personally select- ed "united Nations" in prefer - Powers. FLIES FOR U. S. A. ,3 War Bringing Back Old Time Economies Some millions of pamphlets are being scattered about Canada urging people to save household fats and bones and telling them that it is possible to make first- class soap from animal 'fats. What a long way Canadians of today have moved from the cue - toms of their forebears if they have to receive such information formally and officially! Their grandmothers did ,not need to be told that animal fats can make good soap. They had constant demonstrations of the fact. The war is bringing old econ- omies back to no. Perhaps among others it will bring the soap kettle and the soft soap and hard soap of far-off days. If we are to pay for this war — and that is our job — we shall have to turn our resources to account instead of sending them to the incinerator or pouring them down the sewer. 32 144,201 Fur Pieces For German Soldiers It is significant that the Ger- man people contributed 82,144,- 201 pieces of fur to the appeal to keep the Nazi army warm re :. s- 8ia, says the ' - of these furs were brought from the attics, where they had been lying these many years. Every- thing from fur coats to fur ear muffs went into the collection bins. If the German people were not still behind Hitler and the lust of Germany to conquer the world, they would not have been so dili- gent in finding furs to send to the troops on the Russian front. If there had been any tendency on the part of the people to rebel against the Nazis, this was an opportunity to do so. The Gesta- po would know about some of the furs, but the Nazi officials would not know about the old furs in the trunks in the attics. Hitler has not lost his hold on the German people yet. They may not be as keen for the war as they were, but those fur con- tributions show they are still willing to support the men at the front.

The 4,300 -ton under- sea craft, once the pride of the French fleet, took to sea after participating in the occupation of the St Pierre and Miquelon Is- lands by the Free French forces Dee. 24 and again is a deadly menace to any enemy craft she may contact. And the crew of 140 officers and men, under Captain Louis Blaison, are anxious to swing into action. • South Americas' Unanimous Action The now almost unanimous movement of all the countries of North and South Ax'nerica into the ranks of those fighting the Axis has a significance that may be missed by many. The reaublie south of the United States may not be able to send great naval land and air forces into action, but their declarations of war, their breaking of diplomatic rela- tions and their assurances of benevolent neutrality will mean great aid to the fighting Allies. Severing of all economic chan- nels, seizure of Axis merchant- men, and similar measures will mean the release of British na- val craft from olockade duties off South American coasts. Seiz- ure of Japanese fishing craft will prevent possible re -fueling of Axis submarines and surface raiders. Cutting off all hemis- phere supplies at their source is in itself a real blow to the Axis and one that will be felt more and more. — Edmonton Journal.
