YOES The Canadian Red Cross Some realization of the burden placed by war on the shoulders' of tb'e nation, for purposes other than the actual prosecution of war and the maintenance of active forces, is pro- vided` by a study of the recently pub- lished survey of the activities+ of the Canadian Red Cross Society during the period of 1914-1919. Organizing 'swiftly for the "care of the sick and wounded among the forces," the Red Cross soon found it- self undertaking duties not anticipat- ed at first, and extending its influ- ence in other spheres which still fell within the jurisdiction of its objects.. Among these jobs were the establish- ment of an information' bureau, cen- tred in London, which effected con- tact with every wounded man and provided him with extra comforts; erection of a prisoners of war bureau which located, through the Interna- tional Committee in Geneva, each prisoner and provided him with. six parcels of food+, clothing and tobacco every month; -establishment of "on - leave" thostels in Eagland where good, cheap beds and meals could be ob- tained, and many other such tasks. Accepted i'n addition to the primary function of providing "every form of medical need in connection with the services," the total of the work done by. the Red Cross meant the enrolling of thousands of voluntary, unpaid workers, the raising of large sums of money, and the co-ord'inating of war work by many groups which might otherwise have duplicated the wotrk of others, or whose well -meant con- tributions might have gone astray or been so improperly packaged and shipped as to confuse, rather than assist, the army officials. In the five year period until the end of 1919 (because signing of the armistice merely meant the accept- ance of a big rehabilitation job for Rett Cross), a total of $9,073,485 was raised for the use of the Canadian Red Cross, a further $6,250,000 was raised and handed over to the British Red Cress, and approximately $20,- 00.0,000 in materials, medical supplies, surgical equipment, ambulances and various stores was shipped to Eng- lamd, France and elsewhere. Several hospitalg were opened and equipped, two complete ambulance units were provided, and countless other contri- butions were made such as grants and stores to refugee agencies in France, Poland, Austria and other countries. Today the Red Cross faces an even further burden. Since 1919, the Can- adian Red Cross Society has develop- ed a peace -time program which has become an accepted, and much-need- ed, national service. Outpost hospi- tals in remote areas, totalling 43 last year, treated 46,671 patients, with, a staff of 118 nurses. Disasters, such as the Rainy River bush fire, have found Red Cross prepared to render TUCKERSMITH Mr. and Mrs. F. Coleman and fam- ily visited with Mr. and Mrs. J. Turn- er on Sunday.

Thou sands of under -privileged expectant mothers depend upon Red Cross vol' unteer nursing classes for advice on pre -natal carte, and thousands of mothers annually take courses in home nursing and child care. In as- sistance to soldiers alone, $161,896 was expended last year, and cripple)) children received orthopedic appli- ances and aid totalling $54,802. This peace -time work, developed since the conclusion of the last war when Red Cross became recognized as the logical national organization peculiarly fitted and equipped to ac- complish the work, Chas necessitated a million -dollar budget (during each recent year. Today the work must be carried on, in addition to the sud- denly presented war task. Ability, of Red Cross to function: swiftly and efficiently is indicated by the events of early September, Be- fore Canada had entered a "state of war," the national society had cab- led $10,00{) for the assistance of the Athenia's victims, and thad arranged for medical and nursing care to greet them on their arrival at ports from rescue steamers. Within 24 hours after Canada had entered the war, the national coun- cil, with representatives from every province, had assembled in Ottawa and, 'less the- 24 hour later, had or- ganized the 1: tional War Council for the handling ef the war •emergency. Part of this . t-u•p included commit- tees in charge of purchasing and dis- tribution, in charge of transportation, in --charge of war work, and in charge of the national camtpaign for funds. The latter launches it's drive on No- vember 13th. With an objective of $3,000,000, the comanittee will seek to finance the regular peace -time services which Red Cross will maintain, and to un- derwrite the costs of the war -work which already is under way from coast to coast. As the only official auxiliary of the Army Medical Corps in war time, the Red Cross has re- ceived lengthy requests for supplies needed by the various beneficiaries such as the British Red Cross, the French Red Cross, in addition to the Army Medical Corps' own require- ments. • 1940 Willys Features Beauty, Comfort, Economy Delivery of .new 1940 Wiltlys carr reveals to motorists a diverse array of refinements and mechanical fea- tures usually forrmd only in cars sell- ing at much higher prices.

Speedway sedtam, a four -door De - Luxe sedan, a Speedway and a De - Luxe coupe, and a Smart new station waggon. A dnatbing appea.tanne of youthful - nese distinguishes all models. The ,lines of the new Wi11ys are stream- lined smoothly from dee'pskdrted front tenders to the enlarged trunk at the rear. The gleaming dhr'omdum ria stator grille, and headlights moulded into the contour of the tandem, lend dis- tinction filo the new Wil,ies. A belt lime ,chrome stria, the lull length of the, body, also -enhances the beauty of tare oar. Improvements in the new Willys give greater team and oomfort in. the 4ntlesi r aecommrode,tions, The front areat liars a frame of tubular eons'tsuc- tion with a new type of zig-zag owing. it lis the most e'omfertable front seat ever les/tailed in a Willy& car, and Bras mountings which give added feat room for rear scent passen- 'g'ers and also for ale circulation under the seat.

All windows are of safety glass. A new two -spoke safety steering where/ attracts instant attention in the new Willys. A remote control gearsthift is mounted on the s'teering Post of all De,leixe models, as stan- dard equipenontt.

Intstrumentts are mounted so as to be easily visible and readily accessible: All models 'have one package compartment, with op- tion of an additional one. The 1940 Willys offers a greatly unproved ride, due In part to a new type of crofter .springs. Spring clips limed wllth: rubber keep the leaves to- gether ogetiher evenly ansa eliminate squeaks and slapping of leaves. The high power of the Willys econ- omy engine gives the rete carr a top speed up to 75 miles an leovr. An important change in bine engine Is the counter -Weighted crankshaft which gives smooth performance and adda to the life of bearings. A relative of the writer, residing withii 60 miles of Toronto in an area where the Domidnion• Government is -carrying on tuberculin tests among the fanners' cattle, like his neighbors subjected his fine herd of mtleh cows to the test- To, his 'astonishment all but one reacted; they were suffer- ing from bovine tuberculosis. The non -reacting eow was, on the advice of the veterinary, slaughtered along with the reeotors. See was found to be 'riddled with tuberculosis Think what such a -circumstance means! 1t means that if he --elders of the cows involved are affected with tuberculosis, the users of the milk, particularly if children, are ahnost certain to be infected. The use of the tuberculin test in the herds of the country is a notable precaution against -tuberculosis. While it is a matter of considerable Ioss to the cattle -owner of reacting cattle, in- volving as it does, the destruction of these -with but small compensation, it is of high value as a protection against the bovine type of tuberculos- is, But since tuberculosis is but one of many infections carried by milk, the public must look in ether directions for proteetian against such milk -borne affections as undulant fever, septic sore throat, typhoid fever, scarlet fever, diphtheria and a dozen or so others. The one universal prevent- ive of milk lane disease is pasteur- ization'- Pasteurization of milk, if prroperly carried out, destroys the germs of every known milk -borne dis- ease. If the community where the reader lives is not provided with a public supply of pasteurized milk, the, house- holder may pasteurize his own sup- ply using a double 'boiler. The milk is heated to 145 degrees F., kept at this temperature for 30 minutes, and then rapidly cooled to 40 degrees F. and so kept until used. Mily pro- perly pasteurized and kept at low temperature will keep sweet and pure for an indefinite period, "Tia pirate form 1. waied tobacco ea. 6e rooked" A Fact A Week About Canada (From UmBurw u of PHOSPHORUS IN AGRICULTURE Phos'phornt5 is the most widely us- ed element 4a commercial fertilizers, states a scientist in the Department of Agriculture. It is one substance that must he ,purchased and returned , to most softs if their fertility is to be maintained. Phosphorus has been called "the key to permanent agri- culture." • Pbnspihorms is present in all plant cells, being an esaentaal constitutgnt of the nucleus and also necessary for cell division. Pdsos,phatic fertilizers cause a stimjul,ated root growth and hastened maturity of most crops. The cereals 'generally give an increased ratio of grain to straw after its ap- plication. The 'leg'umes require rela- tively lunge amounts of phosphorus and show response to its use on more soils_ Many other crops give an in- creased Yield of a superior., ual•ity of produce When supplied, with"'Suffidient phosphorus. Tahis element is present in. all soils though thy' total percentage is small in even the most fertile lands. Crop growth is more dependent on the amount .that is made available for plant use than on the total arnount in the coil. The element phospthorus does net occur as such in the soil but always in dom'bi_aation with some other 'elements, generally ite'the form of a phosphate. It must be in this form before it Ali be used by the plant. All phosphatic fertilizers con- tain the phosphate form though it is reported as phosphorus pentoxide or phosphloa-ic acid as it is generally ca*lled- Bones were the first phosphate fert- ilizer used, .though it was not known at firsts that the phosphorus was the important fraction, • About one hun- dred years ago it was found that by treating ground bones with sulphuric acid an improved type, of fertilizer was formed. This material became so popular that the supply of bones was not sufficient to meet the demands. Bone meal is still used for certain crope, though the amount is small in comparison with ether phosphatic fertilizers.

Baste ,slag, a by-product Oldie manufacture of steel, is another form of phosphatic fertilizer. The phos- phorus which- was originally combin- ed with the iron ore is changed to a calcium 'phosphate during Vhe smelt- ing process. This material is exten- sively used iln, areas where it is avail- able. • a Various organic fertilizers such its dried blood, tankage and cottonseed meter contain some phosphorus though these materials are generally used because of their nitrogen content. The various kind's of phosphatic fer- tilirers have been developed for dif- ferent types of soil and crop. A BUYING GUIDE • Before you order dinner at a rest- aurant, you consult the bill -of -fare.
