Now is.• the e mothers will be busy getting the •Vbildren's clothes ready for scllool— Itnending, letting out, and making ov- er to make things do. And the young- sters always seem to "stretch up" so during the summer! This year more mothers than ever will be sewing the children's clothes —and their own. It is economical and choice of ready-to-wear styles is limited. Since government orders have eliminated "frills," simple, smart, streamlined styles will be the fashion in future. A study of govern- ment regulations " regarding clothing will repay the homemaker who would be "fashion -wise." For example, did you know that regulations .forbid more than nine buttons on a dress and allow only seven or nine -inch zippers limited in colour to black? There is a ban on redingotes; jacket dresses are out, and separate jackets (wotyi with skirts which must be on a band, not a bodice) may not be longer than twenty-six inches; capes., scarves, matching hats or purses are taboo. Mems may vary from one-half inch en a flared skirt to two inches on a straight cut. Blouses have no double ;back yokes, no pocket cuffs or French cuffs; pleats in skirts are shallower but flares may sweep 80 inches. Nearly every •child is eager to help and now while mother is busy young daughter may take over in the kit- „ eihen. With the encouragement of 'mother's pride and enthusiasm, she will go a long way towards becoming an excellent cook. Simple dishes and guidance in the use of electrical ap- pliances will `make meal -getting easy for her. Potato Salad, Applesauce, Krinkles, Milk. NUTRI-THRIFT MENU Wheat Porridge, .

Need td'le Farm Fqu,jpment Now Idle farm machinery across Canada is going to be moved into action as a result of the Munitions and Supply order issued last, .week requiring all scrap metal weighing 500 pounds or more to be disposed of or reported to the Used Goods Administrator before September 15. The order includes machinery and equipment not in use but does not refer to machinery which may be temporarily idle and which is used during certain seasons. Extreme shortage of steel urgently needed, for ships, guns, tanks, planes and other war supplies, makes •recov- ery of this scrap' metal of first im- portance. By scrap metal the order means any equipment containing iron and steel in any form which is<not now used. Scrap recovered may be disposed of through salvage committees, found in most communities across the country. or through any recognized salvage agency. If the farmer has a ma- chine for which he has no further need, and can sell it as usable equip- ment, re is permitted to do so. Oth- erwise he must give it away or sell it for scrap. In the case where it is impossible to deliver bulky scrap or where immediate arrangements can- not be made to pick it hp, ownership of the metal must be reported so that salvage •authorities will have a com- plete dist of available scrap metal up- on which to • call. Since new farm equipment will be off the market for the duration; pre- sent machinery should be kept in good working order so that there will be no breakdodrns later in the season. Farm machinery- srould always be stored under .cover. The cooling sys- tem of a tractor may break down ire-, quently and it is important that the 'fan belt, hose, hose connections and pump packing are in good condition. Disks on disk plows should be adjust- ed to the power of the tractor to pre- vent overloading. THE QUESTION BOX Mrs. M. ,.C. asks: "How can I re- pair leaking faucet?" Answer: Turn off the water lead- ing to the tap. lysing a monkey wrench with a soft cloth between the jaws, unscrew the large nut around 'the faucet. Rembve the screw that holds the washer in place with a screwdriver, applying a few drops of oil if necessary. Replace the worn washer and screw.

(Saturday Night) When the ,Globe and: Mail, immedi- ately after the close of the session, published, a violent editorial demand- ing the, removal of the Hon. R. B. Hanson, ' J. R. MacNicoll and J. M. Macdonliell from all positions of in- fluence and authority in the Conserv- ative party, we were mildly surpris- ed, but attributed it to momentary -exasperation at the fact that the ses- sion had closed with Mr. W. L. M. King still at the head of the Govern- ment. The Winnipeg Free Press, thinks that the thing goes deeper. It thinks that the Globe and Mail was not merely exasperated at the turn of events, batt was 'furious' with the .Hanson element in the party as being responsible for the failure of the anti -Bing drive. The Free ''Press thinks that .the Globe and Mail thinks that the ,Conservatives in the House, led by Mr. Hanson and counselled by such people as Mr. Macdionneli, ut-, terly failed to rise to the height of the occasion in the Hong Kong de= bate, "baulked— at; denouncing -the Chief Justice of Canada as a senile partisan," and refused to suggest that the fall of Hohk Kong was. di- rectly brought about by the incompet- ence of the Canadian high command. We do not think that the Globe and Mail thinks ,what the Free Press thinks it thinks; .but the matter ,is of interest because' the Globe and Mail. is obviously. v ry actively. concerned in remodellin the Conservative par- ty, and''.bot"h people who are Conserv- atives and people who are opposed to •Conservatives naturally want to know what line the remodelling is going to take. It will be remembered that two different sections, factions or wings kof the Conservative party are holding meetings this autumn to discuss the remodelling , process, and so far as we_ can find the Globe and Mail is not in the inner councils of either of them, nor can either of them be ex- pected to do much towards forward- ing the Globe and Mail's idea of what the Conservative party ought to become and ought to do. This seems to us a more' adequateeexplanation of the Globe and Mail's• exasperation than Mr. Hanson's failure to unseat Mr. King by means of a letter'of Col. Drew which nobody is allowed to ;read. The Globe and ,Mail, so far as we can surmise, still sees the remodel- ling' of the Conservative party in terms of 'Mr. ••Meighen.. But the sit- ting members of the party at Ottawa have notably failed to be co-operative towards this conception. They have provided only one vacancy' for Mr. Meighen to get to Ottawa with, and that did not' turn out well. On the other hand the "young !Conservatives" who are probably glanced at in • the Globe and Mail's reference to Mr. 'Macdonnell; are known to have had very little enthusiasm for the Meigh- en move all along; and what they .had is• hardly likely to have increased. The Globe and ;Mail's proper course, we should think, would be to call yet a third meeting of Conservatives, at, hath the leading figures would be Meighen and his most notable supporter, kr. HHepbtirn. This would surely be a much niore practical step than reading so many good, old and devoted Conservatlires out of .the par- ty. That sort of thing snakes aw- fully hard for the party: to. ge re- modelled in any way at all. ic Couriers Gather Huge Stock se - !o r .oCh10 s ° mere are aquae -4lgh4igbts on toed needs 1i warble taI>ten firom the iat� est issue of the Gyt'rent, ;Review of Agricultural Conditions in Canada: ]?resent and ifuture $pod require- ments• of the Allied Nations .indicate that additional large quasi,tities of wheat and dour, bacon, gheeae, dried eggs and various types of concentrat- ed foodstuffs iw•ill, be required, states the Review. The present •bacdi4 contract for 600 million pounds has only, a few more weeks to run, and is nearly 80 -per cent completed. Although the Unit- ed Kingdom's. 1942-43 requirements of Canadian' bacon have not yet been made public, negotiations have al- ready entered, prelimip;ary stages, and it seems probable that export require- ments , for this commodity will con- tinue to remain very substantial. Ev- en under the present rate of exports,m hog production is insufficient to sat- isfy fully both overseas and domestic requirements. , - Recent figures on cheese production indicate, that titre should be little difficulty filling the current overseas contract of 125 million pounds. The production increase in the first half of 1942was over 33 million pounds, while export requirements for 1942-43 are only 13 million pounds greater than in 1940-41. Shipments of dried ,eggs also con- tinue to go forward in scheduled vol- ume, under the direction of the Spe- cial pecial Products Board. Existing con- tracts for 45 million dozen run to the end of 1943. 'Present indications are, therefore, that the United Kingdom will con- tinue to be the largest customer . for Canadian farm product exports, and her requirements will continue large- ly along present lines, , and in quanti- ties.sufficient to tax present agricul- tural productive capacity. With rural mail couriers acting as rubber salvage collectors, the rural rubber drive which opened August 24 in outlying areas of Ontario and Que- bec is bringing to light a surprising variety of rubber articles put out by summer residents and country dwel- lers for collection and destined for use in Canada's war production. Mail couriers in both these ,provinc- es are busy with the task of picking up and bringing in to local salvage depots all the scrap rubber articles placed for collection at rural mailbox- es, Discarded tires and tubes from cars and tractors are rolling in to salvage headquarters to be reclaimed and reprocessed into .Vital war goods. Also in the collection are to be found .old hot water bottles, swimming tubes, fly -swatters, rubber bathing suits and running shoes. Every old rubber article is needed, say salvage officials, pointing out that the drive, scheduled to end Septem- ber 8th, includes the Labor Day holi- day, affording summer residents a good opportunity to clear out all old rubber before closii$g up cottages and camps for winter. Farmers in the areas are also digging out the scrap which will help put the axe on the axis. Estimates of rubber returns on the drive are not available at this early date although salvage officials hope to release figures shortly. Copies of the four-page printed card recently distributed to all boxholders and residents outlining the purpose and the needs of the ruralrubber drive may be obtained at any rural post office. City residents who .re- ceive their mail by regular letter car- rier -service are not, included in the rural postal pick-up service of rubber scrap as city collections would be too great a task for the post -office de- partment in a single drive. The rubber scrap collected in this rural drive will eventually reach Can- ada's rubber reclaiming ,plants to be sheared, hashed, treated with cliemi- cals and put into •production again reappearing in the shape of vital car goods, ranging from warplane tires to munition workers' non -spars( sl- oshes. The scrap rubber is urgently needed for these war uses, stress salvage officials, who are frank in saying that as Canada's rubber shock; piles go up, the chances of Hitler and Hirohito go down. CORDS HAVE SALVAGE VALUE ` Salvage item! Electric cords that have outlived their usefulness have newly discovered salvage value. It's vouched for that ten 6 -foot cords will provide the copper scrap equivalent to the copper used in one thousand 37 - millimetre anti-aircraft explosives.
