This year, as the story of Bethle-
hem is again unfolded in carol and
word, there will be a quickening of
that sense of kinship among all free-
dom -loving people and a realization
t there can be no comproealse with
for s of brutality . and aggression.
At this crucial • stage in the history
of nations, Christmas comes as a
challenge to homemakers everywhere
—a challenge to face the' problems
of daily life with unwavering courage
and to exemplify the finest qualities
of ,heart and mind in meeting their
responsibilities as the -mothers and
wives of men.
In the homes •sof today, women are
helping mould ,the characters of the
men, and • women who will shape ' the
destiny of the world: Strengthen in
your small home circle a love that
can reach out in ever -widening cir-
cles. Soon, we hope, it will "be mani-
fest in that new era towards which
the eyes of this unhappy world are
straining so eagerly. e

To answer a query: Charitable or
religious organizations may sell gifts
of jams ''and jellies providing these
organizations first get • permission
from their local ration board. Per-
mission may only be granted with
the understanding that anyone buy-
ing there will' not have to surrender
coupons. This concession, the Con-
sumers Branch W.P.T.B., informs me
only applies to gifts of these ration-
eci commodities received from con-
sumers. Merchants or bothers who
are not consumers will nat be allow-
ed to make gifts of any rationed com-
me sties to these organizations.

more than enough tee keep 'the e'xdges
ing livestock population, during the
eroP year 194344.. Because all the
surplus is in' the three 'prairie prov
inces,,.,the ,distribution problem is not
as satisfactory as the volume. Hay
consuming animals are well supplied
with hay and fodder, but with respect
to high -protein supplements. ,tire sup-
ple is no so good and may affect
adversely output of certain important
products. The government is looking
ahead by establishing a "foodbank"
in eastern Canada in case of emerg-
ency and if terrible weather condi-
t'on's like •last winter should hamper
transportation. Besides, s e ve ra 1
schemes ,including freight assistance
and revised drawbacks on western
wheat for livestock feeding should
help.

An interesting item gleaned from
the 1941 census of Canada is that 87
per cent. of Canadian occupied dwel-
lings had radios, 40 per cent. had tele-
phones, 24 per cent. owned vacuum
cleaners and 37 per cent. had auto-
mobiles. About 11 per cent. had all
of these modern things while in 17
per cent. - of the occupied dwellings
they had none of these. These fig -
tires will probably really jump in the'
gist: war period when war savings go
on•a spree.

The Agricultural Supplies Board
has done considerable in a new field,
the prd'duction of dehydrated vege-
tables. It was in +the late summer
of 1942 that the British Ministry of
Food intimated they were interested
in the purchase of quite large quanti-
ties of dehydrated vegetables, partic-
ularly potatoes. Besides they 'Were
neei9'ed for the Canadian armed forc-
es. Before this our Board did some
experimental work equipping five
Canadian dehydration plants; and thus
it was possible to meet the request
from Great Britain, although the to-
tal Quantity required was not met be-
cause of delay in getting_ processing
equipment for two' extra plants. From
the 1942 -crops, however, processed'
vegetables were supplied to. Britain
anad our armeris forces got .p,atetops•
(1,158 tons dried weight), cabbage,
carrots, onions, turnips. In addition -
about 300 tons dried weight onions
were dehydrated by one plant here
under direct contract with the British
Food Ministry.
