Courtesy In Driving
-From observation we would say
that the average car driver has a lot
to learn about courtesy as applied to
driving. And further, that the av-
erage truck driver has still a great
deal more to learn about the same
subject.
We speak particularly about the
`-courtesy of dimming car lights when.
meeting another car at night. In
daylight the average driver is pretty
well able to protect himself under
any ordinary circumstances, but at
night, even the most competent and
skilful driver is all but helpless un-
der the full glare from the lights of
an approaching car.
When we hear a motorist give as
the cause of a collision or the ditch-
ing of his car—too bright lights—
out of our experience, we believe
him, because out of seven trucks met
within a short distance on No. 8
Highway one night not long ago,
one—and one only—had the decency
to dim their lights. And to dispute
the right of way of a truck on the
highway, night or day, is foolishness
indeed.
The cars were a little better, but
not a great deal at that. It is such
a simple matter that one wonders at
the lack of courtesy shown. The
cause may be ignorance, boorishness,
or just plain meanness, but the cause
is there to such an extent that Ili gg ht
after night serious and fatal ac` i-
dents are attributable t6 glaring
lights.
There is only one way of avoiding
accident in such eases, and that is to
slow to a walk or stop altogether,
and the wise driver .does just that.
At the same time no driver should
be placed under such inconvenience
or delay, or be exposed to such real
personal 'danger by any car or truck
that. travels the highways.
A. few nights careful patrolling on
the part of the provincial police and
county officials, followed by a few
stiff fines, or cancelling of permits,
would do much . to straighten out
matters, particularly at this time of
year, when nights -are dark and wea-
ther conditions are rarely of the
best.

Would Be Of Help. Here Too
•
In his speech in the . British House
of Commons last week, Prime Min-
ister Churchill lightly suggested that
it would be a great help to him if
some of the armchair generalsand
other amateur, but very vocal, com-
plainers of his war policy, and his
way of conducting it, would follow
one of the customs of ancient'China.
"There was a custom in ancient
China that any one who wished to
criticize the Government could mem-
orialize the Emperor, and, provided
he followed it up by committing sui-
cide, very great respect was paid to
his word and no ulterior motive was
assigned."
That might be of help in Canada,
and America too.
•
Public Health Service
Pubric health service is sometimes
looked upon in this country as a fad,
and a very expensive fad at that. Our
fathers and grandfathers got along
very nicely without it, and why
shouldn't we?
The British Ministry of Health,
however, looks upon it from another
standpoint, and it has inaugurated
an educational campaign against
common colds.
Such a campaign has been found a
necessity in the interests of the Bri-
tish war effort, because as the Min-
istry of Health points out, the com-
mon cold in England costs twenty
million working days a year. Put in
another way, these lost days repres-
ent three' thousand, five hundred
tanks, a thousand bombers) and a
Million rifles.
If a t erl!nan bomber floating over
and some night could destroy
. arsenal of war material,
n't the German pies and radio
vet it to'. a log, long ;time?
• THE RUTRON EXPOSIT
The 'British do not miss many i
tricks, and, apparently, they fully re-
- alize that to neglect public health is
playing into the enemy's hand4, so
they are going to insist on a thorough
public health service. Canada might
profit by the example too.

One Can Always Learn
One can always learn. We were
born and have spent a life -time with-
in forty rods of a farm, , and we
thought wg were fairly familiar not
only with the farmer and his life
work, but with the implements he
worked with and the livestock he
raised, their appearance and the end
they serve on the farm.
But it remained for a ten -year-old
British boy to put us right on the
subject of cows. This boy, evacuated
to the country from the east end of
London, after first hand observation
and deep thought, wrote an essay
on the subject that was so informa-
tive that Mr. Ernest Brown, Minis-
ter of Health for Britain, gave it to
the British papers for publication,
and they in turn cabled it to this
country. .
"The cow," said the boy from the
East End of London, "is a mammal.
It has six sides right and left, and,
upper and below. At the back it has
a tail on which hangs a brush. With
this he sends flies away so they don't
'fall into the milk. The head is for.
the purpose of growing horns, and
so his mouth can be somewhere. The
horns are to butt with and the mouth.
to moo with.
"Under the cow hangs milk. It is
arranged for milking. When people
milk, milk comes and there never is
an end to the supply. How the cow
does it I have not yet realized, but it
makes more and more. The cow has
a fine sense of smell and one can
smell it far away. This is the rea-
son for fresh air 'in the country.
"A man cow is called an ox. The
cow does not eat much, but what.. it
eats it eats, twice, so that it gets en-
ough. When it is hungry, it moos,
and when it says nothing at all it is
because its insides are full up with
grass."
According to the boy, British cows
differ from ours in at least one par-
ticular. They are much more con-
siderate in their use of that brush
that hangs on the end of their tails.
•
Indians Set Example
People in this country do not, as a
rule, give very much credit to the In-
dian for his methods of living, his
.thriftiness or anything else. But
there is ;one, band of Indians living
north of the Arctic Circle, that has
set an example in giving that should
be noted by Canadians at large.
This band of -Crow Indians has
sent to Hon. Thomas,A. Crerar, Do-
minion Resources Minister, four
hundred and thirty-two dollars for
the relief of bombed -out children in
-the United Kingdom, and ` dollars
come very hard to these Indians, liv-
ing in the Arctic Circle.
This summer they took their fur
catch of last winter to a trader in
Alaska and were paid in American
money. Then their Chief, who had
been told of the bombings in London,
took up a collection. He headed the
list with one hundred dollars, andthe
twenty-four other members of the
band made up the balance.
The Chief tied the bills in a red
cotton handkerchief and handed it
over to the Royal Canadian Mount-
ed Police at Old Crow Station. The
Mounties sent the money down to
Dawson, where it 'was deposited in
a bank and a cheque forwarded to
Ottawa.
That was pretty good for twenty-
five Indians. In fact twenty-five
other average Canadian citizens
couldn't have done much better.

The "Hot Dog " Has It
Last week four hundred boys and
girls, invited to a rescue mission
Thanksgiving dinner at Syracuse,
New York, were asked to express
their preferences on the menu. And
here are the answers:
For turkey—ten per cent.
For spaghetti—eleven per cent.
Various other; food—four per cent.
For. "hot d-cgs"—seventy-five per
cent.
If the boys and girls are satisfied,
why of course we are too. But there
are a whole let of other edible's that
we think seventy -dive per .cent. more
of than we do of "hot doge'

"TURNIPS"
404,
Bach - fall we have a number of ex-
ceptionally fine days. The sun shines
warmly and the earth is• not too mud-•
dy . . . Mrs. Phil gently insists
each morning that "this would be a
perfect day to take up those turnips."
As a rule we agree on that point.
However, the taking up of turnips as
not exactly the most pleasant task on
the farm.
The alibis start flowing briskly. It's
remarkable the number of reasons i
person can scrape together for not
taking up turnips. The usual one is
to say that the turnips need a good
frost. Somebody suggests that the
cattle would never know the differ-
ence. The counter -argument to that
is the fact that turnips that have been
nipped by frost have a much better
flavor when cooked and, "if they're
better for cooking with a nip of frost
they must be better for the cattle as
well°"
The days wear on! The leaves are
falling and the trees look startling in
their nakednesS.Gtee sound of thresh-
ing and silo -fillip has long ceased in
the neighborhood. Piles of apples
covered with straw remain in sortie
orchards and on practically all ver-
andahs in the township you can see'
boxes of apples, curing as it were with
the light touches of frost we have
been having. •
'We plan on taking up the turnips
on a certain day only to discover that
there is an auction sale that day. We
attend the auction . . and later go
to a sale of purebred cattle where the
only thing we can do is gape because
the prices are far beyond our limit.
We encdurage Mrs. Phil on another
day to take a trip into town to do
some shopping. It is a fine, pleasant
day but conscience has a way of
pricking you. Along the road it seems
as if every farmer in the county has
picked the warm, sunny day to take
up his turnips. Mrs. Phil notes it all
but refrains from comment. When
we arrive home, she announces with
a degree of finality that you learn to
res,�pec, "Tomorrow you take in the
turns s."
Sunny today . . : and rainy to-
morrow! A cold mist of rain devel-
ops in the morning and by noon we
have a full-fledged snowstorm. Not
one of those pleasant, down -soft falls
of snow that come in the winter time.
This is a "turnip -day" special . •
a particular brand of snow that sifts
in around the collar of your coat and
sticks to your neck until it starts to
melt and then the drops of moisture
play a game of trying to see which
one can go the farthest in the short-
est space of time.
Snow . . .. mud . . . and turn-
ips! Gloyes are of little avail; your
fingers grown numb after a certain
length of time apyhow. The mud
clogs up on your boots until you 'fest
as if you were walking on stilts. Great
lumps of clay stick to your overalls
and every time you put your hand
near your face . . , there is another
lump of dirt sticking to our eyebrows
or your beard.
Clump . . . clump . . . clump and
then you drive to the barn where the
turnips all have to be thrown into the
root cellar. How maddeningly slow
the cellar seems to -fill up. Each time
you drive back to the field you de-
termine' during the coming year either
to stop ,growing turnips altogether or
else have them grow in the field be-
side the barn. The wagon tracks
seem to go deeper and deeper into
the ground. Each turnip has become
a white mound against a black muddy
background. •
If we had only picked a fine day!
There can't be anything to this story,
that frost improves a turnip, any-
how. Neighbor Higgins takes his We-,
nips in early and his stock always
seem to enjoy them. Next year we'll
take them in just as soon as we pos-
sibly can. Why does it always have
to snow on the day we pick to bring
in the turnips? The rainy snow is be-
ginning to soak through and all the
clothes. on your back seem to be stiff
and wet and cold.
Finally, however, they are all pick-
ed. I3 is the last load and the hazy
blanket of late fall 'is closing in on
the farm.. We won't bother unloading
this load tonight . just drive it
in on the barn floor It's warm in the
stable and, the cattle • look up and
bawl. Those turnips are certainly go-
ing to make great feeding this winter,
:JUST A SMILE OR TWO:
The young salesman was •looking
very depdessed on his second, day- in
his new job.•
"Come, come!" said the sales man-
ager. "Don't look so down in the
mouth. I know it's difficult at first,
but you'll soon get into it. When
you've had a little more experience
you'll get along all right."
"It isn't that," said the young than.
"When I got home last night I prac-
tised that sales talk on my wife and
now I've got to buy her a new casuum
cleaner." .

No. 3—"DOMINION'S GROWING
SHELL PRODUCTION"
By C. Earl Rice, formerly of the
Springfield Times, Lac Du Bonnet,
Manitoba).
The Dominion Arsenal
In Quebec Province are many plants
where ammunition and shells are be-
ing produced. The mother of them
all, 'however, is the Dominion Arsenal.
Situated in the heart of Old Can-
ada is a fine olds, stone building, dat-
ing back to the . eighteenth century.
The walls are five feet thick, and
from this building, the defenders of
New France took their stand against
the enemy. For the past 30 years or
more this same building has been us-
ed in the defence of Canada, but in-
stead of being the shelter from which
guns are fired', it has' become 011 cen-
ter in, which ammunition for the Can-
adian Army is made. "^
During the last war this arsenal -
employed five to six hundred men and
women. Today, it is producing in 24
hours, more ammunition than in a
whole month during the last war.
More than a score of large buildings
comprise the bh.ree main plants. One
of these is situated in the country
fifteen. miles from the city, and a
special train makes a round trip three
times a day carrying 1,500 men and
women to work on their respective
shifts•. -
The Dominion Arsenal is consider
ed the finest plant of its', type on the
North American continent. Not only
is it equipped with the very latest in
machines and tools, but the safety de-
v1cea, apse) working COlditiOlia are the;
best posse rle.
Cartridge cases and bullets are pro-
duced from the raw material. The
men attending the great crucibles
have to wear shoes with wooden soles
an inch thick to protect their feet
from the heat. The metal for shell
cases is poured into moulds, and when
cooled is drawn out until it is just
the traction of an inch in thickness,
and nearly forty feet in length. The
long spring-like coil of brass is then
fed into, a punching machine, from
which thimble -like cups are punched
out. These are the beginning of cart-
ridge cases.. They pass through forty
operations until the completed cases
are produced'.
After the cartridge cases are com-
pleted, they are passed on to another
plant, where the propellant is put in,
the cap fitted and the metal bullets
clamped into place. his plant where
the high explosives are (handled, is
one—of extraordinary quietness and
-cleanliness. There is no hnatle or
bustle here. Everybody wears special
rubber shoes, and when walking abaft
the building, every now and again,
one touches a metal plate set in the
wall to ground himself so that there
may be no static generated.
Situated close to this plant. -is the
proving ground. Dere It is that guns
made in Canada, using shells the size
of a half inch and aver, are proved.
Not only are Canadian -made guns
proved !here, but guns Prom the 'Am-
erican arsenals asp well. The proving
ground is operated jointly by the
United Kingdom and (Canadian Gov-
ernments. A certain number of, shells
from each batch made are also test-
ed diuring tlae proving of the Ig'n
