Last week, you remember, I ad-
mitted how mad 1 got at the high
price of so many things we have to
buy. Now I suppose that feeling
will be pretty general became of
the big jump in the price of milk.
It is a big jump and will undoubt-
edly hit many families like a hard
blow. But then it was bound to
come. As long as the government
continued the milk subsidy the
price paid to farmers was all right,
but removal of the subsidy brought
the price of milk to a below cost
basis, so something just had to be
done. But don't let anyone get the
Idea that farmers are getting six-
teen cents a quart for their milk or
anything like if. If we were we
would be rolling in wealth. No, be-
tween the price paid to the farmer
and the price paid by the consumer
there is a wide spread which is us-
ed np in cost of distribution and
so on, including the profits paid to
the shareholders of big dairies.
.However it is all too complicated
for this column. The only thing I
can suggest is for those who have
the facilities to try keeping a cow
in their backyard. But then the
$100 or $150 you would have to
pay for a cow would buy milk for
a good many months even at six-
teen cents a quart! And of course
the cow m'ght blow up and die.
Cows have a way of doing that.
They can get indigestion quicker
than anything I ever knew. After
all one stomach is hard enough to
keep in order at times — so just
think of the poor cow with three!
Well, here we are back to stand-
ard time again. For over a week I
have been thinking how nice it was
going to be 10 have that extra
hour in bed for just one Sunday
morning. But habit was too strong.
We all woke up—and got up —
only a little later than usual. The
cows of course recognized no other
time than that governed by the ris-
ing sun and were waiting at the
barn as usual; the chickens were
clambering at the chicken pen
doors to get out in the open; Mit-
chie was mewing plaintively at the
kitchen window and so the day be-
gan. Now it is four o'clock and all
the livestock are looking for their
supper. 1n an hour oe two it will
be dark and after dark we won't
know the difference between fast
time and standard. And thus will
end another day.
Surely the weatherman must
hive been in league with the pow-
ers that were responsible for Day-
light Saving Time. At any rate the
end of summer weather coincided
with the termination of summer-
time. Yesterday the sun was ter-
rific—eighty degrees in the shade.
Today it is cold, wet and windy.
We knew all about the heat yes-
terday because that was the day of
our local fair. I was so sorry for
the livestock, particularly the race
horses. The cattle didn't seem to
mind it so much except for one
poor Bossie who decided to give
birth to a calf right on the fair
grounds. One naturally wonders
why her owner was showing her at
such a time, Taking quite a chance
one would think.

As we struggled through the
crowds in the amain hall Partner
and 1 wondered whether exhibits
would ever stake a come -back.
Nowadays there is so little baking,
not very much fruit or dressed
poultry and a limited display of
fancywork. As far as the latter is
concerned that is no more than
can be expected since war work for
several years has taken the place
of fancywork and women have not
yet got back to their stride.
There was a display of antiques
which was very interesting with
two ladies dressed as Grandma us-
ed to dress in the heyday of her
youth, There was also a beautiful
hand - embroidered Christening
robe. We wondered how such fine
embroidery was ever done in the
days of candles and coaloil lamps.
I also wondered what brand of
soap chips were used to keep the
gown so snowy white!
As usual there were wonderful
exhibits by the various branches of
the Women's Institute. Where
, would the Fairs be without the
Women's Institute to back them
up? I wonder
There was a grand display of
aluminum kitchen ware. And that
reminds me: A couple who were
married quite recently received
Borne lovely wedding presents and
among thein were SIX pressure
cookers! rr
Radar Indispensable
The United States Navy said
that a weather reconnaisance cruise
in Arctic waters has demonstrated
the indispensability of radar to
Arctic mariner; ui doe!:in;; irr
bergs. The navy said it was not
uuconm1oil for as many as 30 "tar-
gets" to show up on the radar
screen.
RADIOACTIVE ANIMALS TO PROVIDE VITAL MEDICAL DATA
Vital information on diagnosis and early treatment of radiation
sickness is expected to be obtained from a cargo of 2500 goats, pigs
and rats, recently landed from the USS Burleson at Washington
Navy Yard. The animals, survivors of the 5000 used in the Bikini
Atoll atom bomb tests, will be studied by scientists at the Naval
Medical Research Center, Bethesda, Md., for possible effects of
radioactivity on humans. Some of the animals developed an
anemic condition after being exposed to the bomb's rays and were
given blood transfusions to keep up their blood count, like "Goat
No. 23;' pictured above.
•
Exposure to radioactive rays is thought to produce sterility, but
the rat pictured above apparently escaped this fate. She is shown
with her two -day-old litter of young ones.

Record Non -Stop Flight
The Truculent Turtle, United
States navy patrol bomber, landed
at Port Columbus, Ohio, complet-
ing a record-breaking non-stop
flight of 11,237 pules from Perth,
Australia. The unofficial elapsed
time was 55 hours and 18 minutes.
Australia's Government Returned
Australia's Labor government
won approval of its wartime record
and postwar policy of social secur-
ity in the general elections last
week and will enter the 18th parlia-
ment with probably a slight reduc-
tion in strength.

Necessity Is Indeed Mother of
Invention, Comments the
Financial Post
Writing of his early manhood as
a Mississippi river pilot, Mark
Twain relates his experience with
the closed shop.
River boat pilots formed a union,
which became so strong and well
disciplined that pilot fees reached
fabulous heights. The union be-
came the real dictator of river
traffic.
Finally the union seemed to have
all its battles won, to have the
• situation completely in hand. A cer-
tain and rich livelihood with uto-
pian working conditions seemed fi-
nally
inally assured for all members.
Then the blow fell. Railroads
lured away passenger traffic. To
beat excessive pilot costs and to
meet growing competition, single
tugs towing a dozen great barges
were introduced and, says Mark
Twain "behold, in the twinkling of
' an eye, as it were, the (pilots') as-
sociation and the noble science of
piloting were things of the dead
and pathetic past."
There is an obvious link be-
tween that record of the past and
last week's report that a Cana-
dian firm bas hit upon a way to
produce window glass without soda
ash.
Strikes have choked off the soda
ash supply completely. Necessity
is indeed the mother of invention,
hence the new process.
We wonder if people who call
strikes and make unrealistic wage
and other demands ever think what
they may be doing to abolish or
to speed the disappearance of their
jobs. They remind us of a boxer
with a lightning left uppercut. He
let go for "the kill" and knocked
himself out—cold.

"I suppose you know the classic
example of British shyness?—the
two Englishmen who were the
only survivors of a wreck. After
swimming around for some time,
one of them swam to the other ..and
said, "Excuse me speaking to you
without being introduced — but
could you please direct me to
Southampton?"
Costly Project
The total cost of the atomic pro-
ject to America was about $2,-
000,000,000; another industrial na-
tion should be able to duplicate the
result for $500,000,000 or less be-
cause they can avoid costly experi-
menting.

Now Fresh and Lively
Every Morning
Here is a man who woke up most
mornings with a dull headache. What a
dismal way to start the day! But
Kruschen transformed his life, according
to his letter:—
"I
etter:"I used to wake up in the mornings
with a dull headache. A year ago, I
started taking Kruschen Salts regularly.
Today, I wake up fresh and lively and
cs n do my day's work without undue
exertion. I find Kruschen Salts a great
help, and have not been so healthy for a
long time. I can recommend Kruschen
for anyone suffering from headaches and
constipation. I'll never be without
Kruschen as long as I live!—E.P.
Dull headaches such as this man
suffered from can often be traced to a
disordered stomach and to constipation
because of waste material which remains
in the system. A small dose of Kruschen
taken regularly in the morning promptly
helps to remedy this condition. And that
is how Kruschen acts to relieve such
headaches.
Try Kruschen for relief of morning
headaches and sluggish feelings. 25o
and '75c at all drug stores.
"Wait Oscar — 1 gotta better idea. Throw in this package of
crisp, crunchy Grape -Nuts Flakes -- `n` if THAT comes out yoir
better leave town"
"Now you're talkin', Joel The little
woman might toss my hat out again
but she'll never part with a package
of malty -rich, nut -sweet Post's
Grape -Nuts Flakes.` And while she's
fondly caressing 'em, I'll snealc up-
stairs to bed."
"Sure enough these Grape -Nuts
Flakes are wonderful smile bait. And
they stick -to -your ribs, too — with
carbohydrates for energy; proteins
PARTING IS SUCH
SAD SWEET --
SORROW -,
for muscle; phosphorus for teeth and
bones; iron for the blood; and ether
food essentials,"
"My wife knows that Grape -Nuts
Flakes are doubly good because
they're made Of two grains—wheat
and malted barley—cleverly blended,
baked and then toasted for matchless
flavor, delightful crispness, easy diges-
tion. Those recipes on the package for
cookies and other good things will
catch her eye, tool"
