Patriotic Rally In Seaforth Will Assist Big Drive Legion, Army And Airforce WIII Co -Operate In Big Parade Next Sunday • A monster patriotic rally muter the auspices of the Huron County War Services Fund will mark the begin- ning of the final few days of the drive In Huron County, according t9 plans arranged by the Huron Board at a Meeting In Clinton on Saturday. The campaign hoe been in progress u week and canvassers aro meeting with a ready reception in every part of t'he county, The rally which is being held in Seaforth commences with a parade at 2.15 P. n. In the parade will bo Hur. on County branches of the Canadian Legion, county bands. • detachments from active service units it the coun• ty including the R,C:A,F, and RASP. 'D' Co, of the Middlesex and Huron Regiment and other interested par- ties. The rally proper, will be held In First Presbyterian Church when out- standing speakers will address the gathering. George W. Soh aeffor, of Goderich, is chairman. of the special committee in charge of the rally, Warden Donald McCallum, of Perth 'County, has ' responded to the chal- lenge of Warden James Leiper, of Huron' County. The challenge as giv- en by the .Huron warden was that Huron County would have a greater Home -Coming Week Will Aid War Effort Following the endorsation by the .Ontario Travel Bureau, many Coin munities throughout Ontario are or. ganizing a "Home -Coming Week" for some date during the coming Sum - rater, Through the co-operation of local newspapers, it is hoped that an ad- vertlsing plan can bo worked out whereby much of Canada's lost Tour- ist Trade from the United States, may be won back, It is a well-known fact that during the early months of 1940 a whispering campaign, was conducted in certain sections of the United States, where- by many would-be Canadian visitors were diverted into other channels, and the consequent result was a drop in the tourist trade of this country from something like $300,000,000 is, an estimated figure of less than $100,000,000 during 1940. The diver- sion of these good American dollars, and the good people who spent ,them, not only had it's effect Nationally, but every Municipality felt the drop in summer trade, particularly those cen- tres noted as summer pleasure re. sorts, The novo on the part of the Ontar• io Travel Bureau, is a .splendid one, and at the present time many cen tres have agreed to cooperate with the local newspaper being used as a medium to attract people, most of whom will be former Canadians, now• living in the friendly country to the south to spend their ,summer vacation back in their home Municipality, where, in spite of rumours, living conditions aro pretty much as they wero before t'he War, Each centre is advised to set a date for a "1-lome-Coming Week", but by this the Bureau does not mean that. Municipalities' should go to the ex• pense of an "Old Home Week", in fact they advise against • the spending of any unnecessary money. How- ever a committee might be set up to work out some plan Whereby prospec- tive visitors .could be entertained a, very little expense, and while the re• sult would naturally fall short of that of an Old Boys' Reunion, still it no doubt would attract many, and would servo to increase friendliness, and' clarify any misunderstanding that Citizens of the United States ntig'it new be labouring under, with respect to a prospective visit to this country. The plan tleserve,s the consideration of all Municipalities. Newly Weds Honoured On Saturday evening a number of friends from school section No. 11 East Wawanosh and Hullett gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Bertram Kechuie who wore recently married to extend to them a hearty welcome and good- wishes, The following ad• dress was read by George E. Cowan: Dear Bert and Juno:— Although the news of your recent marriage was rather a surprise to most of us, I can assure you it was quite a pleasant one. Many of those gathered here to -night have known you Bert, since you were able to take your first steps, It is hard for them to realize that you 'have really embarked on the voyage of matrimony. To those of us who have passed through school and grown up with your, it is equally hard to realize. But, as our gathering here to -night indicates we all wish to extend our most sincere 'congratulations to you both and to welcome June into our midst. This little gift is just a small token of the friendship we feel for you and June.

After some discussion of the facts the School Board decided to act on the matter, and Mr. Morritt and Trustee Cart- wright were appointed to select can vas,sers for the different sections of the town, and the following canvas- sers were appointed by them with the town being split into six sections as designated: South-west corner Queen and Din. sley Street—•Wm.

Reeve Morritt the Local Chairman in the Huron County Drive expressed the desire that the canvass be start- ed as soon as possible. Many of the Municipalities have already gotten away to a good start and the results have been very gratifying. All can- vassers appointed are 'requested to assemble at Cartwright's Barber Shop on Thusday night for instructions and to receive the necessary forms with which to continence the canvass. The town has been split into small sec- tions so that the canvass work will not be heavy on anyone. With the canvass of the War Say - !

Visit To Blyth Wednesday evening, March 5th a,_ party of airmen attended a dinner and social at Blyth, as the guests of the Blyth Girls' War Auxiliary. Cars called for the party at 5.30 and in spite of the bad condition of the road, all arrived safely. During the course of the dinner toasts were proposed to the King, Em- pire, Canada the Girls' War Auxiliary and the Royal Air Force, to which L. A. C. Fred Cooper replied. The remainder ot the evening was • taken up with various games, and :then while the more versatile danced, others gave vocal support to Mise. Isobel Cumming on the piano. A most enjoyable evening came to a close with everyone clasping hands and ,singing "Auld Lang Syne." The Girls' War Auxiliary also re- ceived the following communication from a Convalescent Home in Eng- land, thanking them for a parcel sent ;by the Auxiliary: No. 1 Convalescent Dept., R. C.A.M,C. Canadian Army, Overseas, Feb. 18 1.1411. • Ladiels—The package of supplies which your Auxiliary sent for Con- valescents •arrived _ here on February 14th, just one month and three days from the date of mailing. You niay be sure that the Convalescents appre- ciate your gift. I have received a number of such gifts and am distributing the supplies to those who have not been receiving Chings from Canada, and to those whose convalescence will be a matter of many weeks. The Convalescents are not sent here from Hospital until they are well enough to be "up and about." Many of. the injuries, so far have been caused by accidents in the black out and in motor traffic. In this queer. War the civilian population has had to bear the brunt of the bombing raids. The Depot is located in a very pretty part of England and is housed in a summer tourist camp beside the sea. There is a main building which contains the kitchen, dining. lounge and concert rooms and then there aro a large number of small cabins each of which provides accomodation for two sten.

PRINTED TEXT,.Acts 1: 1-12 GOLDEN TEXT.—But ye shall receive power, when the Holy Spirit is come upon you; and ye shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea and Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. Acts 1:8. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.—The Ascension of Christ occurred on Thursday, May 18th, A.D. 30, as far as we are able to ascertain, Pentecost occurred ten days later—May 28. Place.—The City of Jerusalem, and, fou the most part, the upper room, wherever that may have been located, In this lesson we are forcefully reminded of the significance of our Lord's last days on earth, of the definite work which He gave His Church to do, and of the Dower which He promised to His Church for the doing of this great work, together with the an- nouncement • of the angels con- cerning our Lord's return. Our Lord's Final Words The final appearance of our Lord and His Ascension are re- oorded only by Mark and by Luke, though Luke's account is by far the fuller of the two, both In the Gospel of Luke and his great historical work, known now u the Acts of the Apostles, Acts, 1:1 "The former treatise I made, 0 Theophilus, concerning *11 that Jesus began both to do and to teach, 2. Until the day in which he was received up, after that he had given commandment through the Holy Spirit unto the apostles whom he had chosen: 8. To whom he also showed himself alive after his passion by many proofs, appearing unto them by the apace of forty days, and speaking the things concerning the kingdom of God," In the opening paragraph Luke gives, as it were, the three keynotes of the treatise to follow: the subject of the book of Acts is the same as that of the Gospel (former treat- ise) — the words and deeds of Jesus; the Acts is the history of the fulfilment of the commission of Christ to the disciples to be witnesses to Him; and again, this commandment was given through the Holy Ghost. The Holy Spirit 4. "And, being assembled to- gether with them, he charged them not to depart from Jerusa- lem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, said he, ye heard from me: 6. For John in- deed baptized with water; but ye ehall be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days hence." Thug word§ refer to this dgscc2nt Of i;ne Holy Spirit Upon the as- nembled believers on the Day of Pentecost, ten days after our Lord's Ascension, and we can truthfully say that the Holy Spirit has continued to abide upon the Church from that day until this. In great quietness, we should all set our souls still, silent unto God, and give the Aoly Spirit time to quicken and deepen in us the assurance. that God will grant Him to work mightily. 6. "They therefore, when they were come together, asked hint, saying, Lord, dost thou at this time restore the kingdom of Is- rael? 7. And he said unto them It is not for you to know tines or season, which the Father hath set within his own authority." This amazing question indicates an established faith in Him as the Messiah, but betrays, at the same time, an expectation that His kingdom would be to some extent a temporal one—that it would tree the nation from their de- pendence on the Romans and re- store to them their ancient pros- perity and power. 8. "But ye shall receive power, when the Holy Spirit is come upon you." The Apostles were not only promised the power of the Holy Spirit, they were given his power —divine power, power to convict, power to illuminate, power for miracles, power when at work in the • hearts of men would actually transform them. Today the Gos- pel still lives! Mien are saved. Sins are put away. Hope is horn in the human heart, The Holy Spirit is still with us, but of course, He will only work through those who yield to His sovereign sway in the throne -room of their Jives. To the Uttermost Part "And ye shall be witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea and unto the uttermost part of the earth." This verse is really an outline in brief of the book of Acts. The disciples' did exactly what the Lord told them to do— their job was to -be witnesses and tell the truth, the whole truth in their message of Jesus and His life on earth. 9.

"And while they were look- ing atedfastly into heaven as he went, behold two men stood by them in white apparel; 11.

RADIO REPOIITER By DAVE ROBBINS "BIRTHRIGHT" Early in January, the CBC Features Department produced one of its most stirring broad- casts—"Birthright." The script is by Harry Ernest Foster, and tells Canadians of their precious heritage today when tyrants have killed freedom in Europe, and are threatening it throughout the world. The writer tells Canadians how their land was built by the "mad-souled dreamers," the trap- pers and the voyageurs ,who "dar- ed the wilderness with song," and the pioneers who hewed out their homesteads from the depth of the forests, and how it was defended by "the gay, unheeding lads who made in war the ultimate offer- ing." It has been decided to present "Birthright" again to listeners of CBC's National Network. The broadcast will be heard on Fri - da, April 4 at 9.30 p.m. EDST.

Do you find the elbows of your sweaters get pushed out of shape quickly? If so, try sew- ing a four -inch wide strip of silk inside • as a lining, Cut the silk on the straight so that there is no "give"• and tack it to the in- side of the sleeve just at the el- bow, using long stitches on the wrong side and very thin ones on the right. This band takes the strain and prevents that ugly, pushed -out look at the-elbow,The same idea can be used for dres- ses of thin wool liable to stretch.

Visitors In 1940 ' Prospects For A Greater Tourist Trade For'This Year Are Reported Tourist traffic from the United .States to Canada continues to flow freely across the interna- tional boundary, according to the Immmigration Branch of the De- partment of Mines and Resources, which reports that 13,598,777 visitors entered Canada from the United States during 1940. Al- though Canada is at, war and her industries have been re -organized on a war basis, no restrictions have been placed on the entry of bona fide tourists from friendly or neutral countries, MORE ENQUIRIES RECEDED Prospects for a much greater tourist trade in 1941 were envis- aged by D. Leo Dolan, chief of the Dominion Travel Bureau, in an address last month before the llth annual dinner of the Traf- fic Club of Montreal. The speaker noted that since the beginning of the present year, more than 22,000 inquiries for travel information had been received by the bureau at Ot- tawa, This was an increase of 31 per cent over the highest number ever received for a cor- responding period. Population In Quebec Up , 3,151,871 Persons Reside In Province; 277,416 Gain in 10 Years . Quebec's population has grown steadily since the last Federal census in 1931 and now amounts to well over 3,000,000, accord- ing to figures tabled in the Que- bec Legislature by Hon. Oscar Drouin, Minister of Municipal Affairs, Trade and Industry. 26 CITIES, 108 TOWNS The figures resulting from a close. estimate on the part of the Provincial Statistical Department show that there were :3,151,871 persons in Quebec in 1939. This figure shows an increase of 277,- 416 over the Federal census count made in this province in 1931, when 2,874,255 persons were registered as being in Que- bec, The report stated that there were 1,493 municipalities within the province. Within this num- ber are .26 cities and 108 towns, the remainder being rural 'muni- cipalities .ttnd parishes. Ask Curb Be Put On Speed of Boats Attorney -General Gordon D. Ccnant declared last week the federal government had been asked to pass legislation to con- trol the speed of motor boats as a result of an accident on the Winnipeg River in which u girl was badly injured. The mishap occurred when the girl was run down (while bathing near Jlinnki in Northwestern Ontario • last A ugust. T. T. Bower, operator of the 'scat, charged with negligence, was acquitted when the court rul- ed there was no provision in the Criminal Code covering the oper- ating speed of motor boats. Machine tool production in Canada during 1940 was valued at $10,821,949, compared with $1,548,419 in 1939, an increase of 800 per cent.

They have been stored since last summer by four storages in New York State, and at Cornell Uni- versity where this new prods has been under development for four years by Dr. R. M. Snook, assist- ant professor of pomology. The fruit was placed last fall in cool rooms, 40 degrees instead of the ordinary 32 degrees cold stet. - age temperature. The rooms were tightly sealed and the oxygen of their air reduced to two per cent. instead of the uormal 20 per cent, At the same time the pttrbon diox- ide was raised to five per cent, this gas coming from the fruit. This atmosphere has boon main- tained steadily ever since, The two per cent, oxygen is just enough to keep the apples alive. The carbon dioxide and low oxygen puts them into deep sleep, like an anaesthetic. The effect is to literally slog down their rate of living, or of aging and (lying, so that they last for many months without detect- able change, oven in flavor.'

Each morning a grubby youngster knocked at his door, went in and carne out again, Af- ter this had gone on for some weeks the curiosity of the villa- gers was aroused, "Tell me," said one to the youngster, "wily do you visit that old sailor every morning?" "Well, sir, he gives the a dime if I say ' to him, 'The captain wants you immediately,' " "And what does he say to that?" "He says, 'Tell the captain to go to blazes,' " He: "Last night I dreamed I was married to the most beautiful girl in the world." She: "Oh, George, Were we happy?" One Japanese bragged to an- other that he made a fan last 20 years by opening only a fourth section, and using this for five years, then the next section, and so on, The other Japanese registered scorn. "Wasteful!" he ejaculated. "I was better taught.

Nation's Diet Is Inadequate Toronto Doctor Advises That More Attention to Nutrition Is Essential to War Effort There is too much buying of vitamin concentrates and not enough attention paid to build- ing up an adequate diet of na- tural' foods, Dr, D. L, Thomson, professor of biochemistry at Mc- Gill University, last week told the Canadian Association of Me- dical Students and Internes. Dr. T orison's cQmnents on the national diet followed an ad- dress by Dr. E. W, McHenry, as- sociate professor of physiologi- cal hygiene of the University of Toronto. Dr, McHenry spoke of the value of dietary surveys and referred particularly to studies which had been made of 100 low- income families in Toronto. In these families, the men; he stated, were the best fed, the children next and the mothers worst. Only three of the 100 families received adequate am- ounts of food. The lack of "pro - B vitamins, was most evident, MALNUTRITION WIDESPREAD Both speakers emphasized that in time of war it was imperative, if Canada is to put forth her best war offort, to pay more atten- tion to nutrition. They emphas- ized that this attention must be based on knowledge, not popular fancies. While there may be little actual hunger in Canada, there was malnutrition, Dr. Thomson pointed out, particular- ly as lack of the essential miner- als and vitamins did not create hunger in the sense that lack of calories did.

"1 have been reading your column each week now for about three years. I enjoy reading it, sad have been in- tending to write you for a long time. There is one thing I would like to know, Are you as completely sold on farming as you make out to be. 1 don't know very much about farming, but it has always seemed to nue that a farm•, er's life Is sort of a drudgery. You slake it appear as a sort of heavenly existence to live on a faun." Well, ask any fanner what his life is like and at first he'll say it's ter- rible, He'll tell you about the poor price of hogs, and the scarcity of men and the fact that the farmer is getting the raw end of the deal. Then, let you start telling that same farmer about what n predicament It nl tst be to be on a farm, and see the difference He'll start telling you about the free- dom he enjoys. He'll remember then that there are no time clocks on a farm and no bosses. In all probability he'll remember that he doesn't have to cater to anyone, and that on his farm there are none of the petty jealousies of a shop or an office. Farming Is not a heavenly existence. Tell me any one rant in lite that is, and then prove it. You'll find that there are all sorts of airs and downs in every tele But if you look for the ups and forget about the clowns you'll rind that time passes a great dekal more quickly and pleasantly.

Toner Ontario Federation of and Hunters Anglers (No. 36) 1 FISH, GAME LAWS • Last weok I mentioned that there had been other government bodies concerned with our fish innnd game before our present .Game and Fisheries Department vas instituted in 1905 but even before there were any regulatory wr administrative bodies there were game laws enacted by the Legislature, • I mentioned the earliest of these last week, the Act of 1821. In 1839 another Act was pas- sed which was even more com- prehensive for it provided that no Terson "shall hunt or shoot, or go out with a gun in quest of any deer or other wild animal or wild fowl on the Lord's Day (common- ly called Sunday) within this Province." The season for deer was changed to open August 1st and close February 1st. "Wild turkey, prairie hen or grouse; commonly ' called pheasant Cr partridge; or any quail or wood- cock," could legally be taken from September lst to March lst, Open and' Closed Seasons When the Statutes of Upper Canada wero consolidated in 1859 there wore few changes. The duck season extended from August 1st to April 15th, eight and one half months of shooting which should have satisfied most people. Even at that time they bad trouble with wolves and the Act mentions a bounty of six dollars. In 1868, the Province of On- tario revised the game laws, cut- ting down the open season to more reasonable length but even this did not prevent, depletion. By 1890, the anxiety among thinking people culminated in the appoint- 21rent of a Commission to investi- gate conditions and submit re- oornmendations. One can, find in libraries the old leathebound volume that contains the report of the Corn - Mission of 1890. It is well worth reading, particularly for the pic- ture it given of conditions fifty years ago. It was a sweeping nd outspoken indictment of the various abuses that hampered the conservation of our game and fish. It had considerable effect for shortly afterwards the Legis- lature set up a Board of Fish And Game Commissioners under the nominal jurisdiction of the Commissioner of Crown Lands. This Commission administered the wild life for nearly fourteen years when it was dissolved and ithe present Department of Game and Fisheries was set up in its .place. Willows Have Turkish Origin Britain and America have a very strong bond with Turkey, Pr every weeping willow gracing our river banks owes its origin to a single cutting brought from that country. This is how it hap- pened. At the beginning of the 18th century a large basket of figs was sent from Smyrna to Lady Suffolk in England. The poet Pope was there when the gift arrived, so drawing one of the wither from which the basket was made, he remarked: "Per- haps this will produce something we have not in England." He took it with him to his villa at Twickenham and planted it by the Thames, where it grew into a magnificent weeping willow, It was generally admired and cut- tings were taken to all parts of England. Years later, a British officer leaving for this continent /nut a twig from Pope's willow, lrrapped it in oiled silk and car- ried. it in his baggage throughout the Revolution. After the war he presented it to John Curtis, Jon of Martha Washington, who planted it in Virginia where it became the ancestor of all weep- ing willows in the States. Visible Smells Neither gold nor platinum has any odour wich can be recog- nised by the human nose, but most of the commcner metals can easily be recognised by the sense of smell. Tin, for instance, when freshly cut, has a strong bn4 unmistakable odour. Of the rarer metals, uranium and its oempounds give out the strong - ort smell. Uranium is one of the radio -active metals and constant- ly throws off extremely small particles. Long ago J. J.

PROMISES AID IF TURKEY IS ATTACKED Last week as spring opened the door on what might well be the decisive phase of the conflict be- tween Britailn and Germany, the Battle of Britain—out of which has grown the Battle of the Atlantic— was still the main engagement of the war. But events. in the Medi- terranean basin were receiving much more of the world's attention, There, the British conquest ot It- aly's African Empire, all but com- plete, was beginning to be chal- lenged harlenged by large forces of German mechanized troops in western Lib. ya; and the Battle of the Balkans was feat approaching the "shoot- ing" stage. Yugoslav Crisis The capitulation to the Axis of Yugoslavia's head men precipitat- ed a number of new arises: in Yugoslavia Itself, where open re- volt and civil war threatened; in Greece, where the Allied -Greek military command' had swiftly to revise their plan of defence to em - embrace a much wider front; in Turkey, where .the country's lead- ers saw her independence menaced from yet another angle; and in Russia, where German penetration of the Balkans had long boeu view- ed with growing anxiety. Russia Assures Neutrality The Soviet Union reacted to this situation by reaffirming friendship with Turkey and assuring Russian neutrality should Turkey resist a German attack on herself, The agreement did not promise neutral- ity if Turkey should strike at Ger- many In the event of a Nazi move against Greece, On the contrary, it stated that "in the event that Tur- key should be the object of aggres- sion and she found herself obliged to enter war for the defence of heft territory, Turkey could then, in conformity with the non -aggression pact existing between herself and the U. S. S. R., rely on the full comprehension and neutrality of the U. S. S. R." This was sensational new. The entering into of this pact with Tur- key constituted the first 'concrete step• the Soviet Union had taken to influence the course of the war since the German -Russian agree- ment of August, 1939. This latest act barred further Nazi penetra- tion southeast, along the U. S. S. It's western borders, (It also was reliably confirmed that Russia had halted shipment of all supplies ot oil to Germany since March 1), Bad For Germany Writing on the significance of the new Soviet assurance to Turkey Canadian military analyst W. R. Plewman said: "The dispatches suggest that Russia will give ma- terial help to Turkey much as the U. S. is giving material help to Britaiu. Some war supplies prob- Guests in Wartime Britain Come and Bring Their Own IIostesses in wartime Britain need no longer worry about their friends' food fads.

His military advisers should toll him the truth that until Ger- any has fought it out with Britain, Hitler won't have sufficient gaso- line and grease to permit large mechanized forces to drive far into Russia and that Hitler really is staging a gigantic bluff to keep Russia quiet, The Russian armies possess a vast nu'"erical superior- ity oyer the German armies and it is impossible for the German forces to guard every vital point that the Russians could menace, The Sov- iet, air force could work havoc to German cities; Russian cities aro • so remote they would be compar- atively free from attack. Were Rus- sia to make common cause with the Greek, British and Turkish • armies, the defeat of Germany within a year would he a near certainty." Whatever purposes were behind the Soviet pledge at aid to Tur- key, they portended ill for Nazi Germany, Even the U. S. State De- partment heartily applauded Rus- sia's attitude, "Bridge of Ships" President Roosevelt's biggest headache, once the first financial appropriations under the Lease - Lend bill had been approved by the Senate, appeared last week'to be: how the U, S. was to assure delivery of American aid to. Bri- tain. Everything obviously depend- ed upon maintenance of the "bridge of ships" across the At- lantic. (Hearteningly enough last's 'week's British shipping losses were away down), A move to lend more destroyers to Britain .was expected hourly; and large-scale plans were • being laid for the repair of Bri- tain's naval and merchant shipping in United States yards. Use of American warships in British con- voys was. contemplated, but not planned until a more critical stage of U. S. -German relations should be reached, Very encouraging new for Bri- tain came out of the U. 8, last week with the report, reliably con- firmed, that 15,000 bomber and fighter planes would be ready to go across the ocean to join the war by. July. By the' end of 1941, it was. said, American production would bring Britain's air fighting strength up level with Germany's. Japan Reconnoitres Japanese Foreign Minister Mat- suoka's sojourns in Moscow, home, Berlin, were last week not yet com- plete. His parleys with the Axis chiefs were the subject of much speculation—since no information about them was forthcoming— but it was generally thought that Mr. Matsuoka had come to Europe to s.e for himself whether the Axis partners were in position to make good their claim that they can nullify American aid for Bri- tain and knock the latter out. His findings would without doubt strongly • • Fluence the decision of his government as to whether Ja- pan is to weave a tortuouscourse of non -belligerency or throw cau- tion to the winds and join in the attack on the Anglo -Allies. Otte of Japan's greatest fears of course is that Soviet Russia might attack her in the north (by air, sea and land) when she's busy in the south, and what the Japanese government desires perhaps above all else at the moment is a Russo-Japanese non -aggression pact, .e * * $2,600,000,000- This Year .Canada will spend $2,600,000,0.0 over the next twelve months 'on her own war effort and financial aid to Britain—$850,000,000 more than was estimated late in Feb- ruary—Premier King told Parlia- ment last week. The Prime Min• aster declared that this sum,, to bo spent in a mighty drive of men, money and materials, represented 44 per cent of the whole national income of Canada. On a comparative basis, the' premier estimated, this financial assistance to Britain for Canadian puchases would equal an expendi- ture of $15 billions by the United States—more than twice the Wash- ington appropriation for lend-lease purposes, Following Premier King, Fin- ance Minister Ilsley announced federal taxes of $1,000,000,000 for the fiscal year beginning April 1 which represented an additional $100,000,000 in . revenue to be sought from Canadians by the Do- minion government next year. A billion dollars, .he said, would have to be borrowed next year to cover direct war outlay and notewar ex- penditures including financing of the new federal wheat policy. Unpopular Wheat Policy , Western members of the House of Commons last week were urg• lug that they be given an opportun- ity to debate the government's new wheat policy which provides: a limit of 230,000,000 bushels to Wheat Board purchases of the 1941 crop; a continuation of the pre- sent 70c a bushel minimum price; basing of delivery quotas on 65 per cent of the 1940 wheat acreage (which means acreage reduction); and payment of bonuses for sum• merfallowing and seeding to coarse grains and grasses, Agriculture Minister MacMillan of Alberta had issued a statement saying that this policy was "highly unsatisfactory and inadequate" and that it would be impossible of acceptance by the Western wheat farmers unless drastic modifications were made, Farmers of the prairie provinces, '"he contended, should be placed in a position ot equality with other classes ot Canadian citizens in the war effort and not forced to live on an "income on the verge of poverty." Pigs are the only farm animals which can be fed on a diet of all food waste. LIFE'S LIKE THAT The Book Shelf "H. M. FULHAM, ESQUIRE" By J, P.

MIKE BENTLEY — wealthy rancher, knew too much about auto accidents. • * * *' LAST WEEK: Monnde sees Larry, denounces him as a thief. Then- she tells Bentley that Larry's brother was killed on the curve, that he has been investi- gating the. accident, spying on her. Larry tries to tell her that Bent- ley is smuggling narcotics. She refuses to believe him. Later she promises to marry Bentley if he will turn Larry over to the sheriff. Bentley agrees, but makes his own plans. CHAPTER XIV Worrying about what Bentley was planting to Flo with him didn't keep Larry from enjoying the din- ner his guards brought. He was just finishing the pie when the rancher walked in. "Good cook you hire here, Bent- ley," Larry commented. "You al• trays eat this well?" Bentley laughed. "No, this is special—for you, The condemned man ate a hearty dinner and all • that. Glad you liked it, though. it's your last meal." Larry rolled a cigaret, eyeing Bentley speculatively. "You're a nice guy, Mike. I'll bet you, used to drown kittens, stick pins in bugs, and that sort of thing when you were a kid. You enjoy seeing people squirm so much. Do your worst, Bentley. I'm not squirming for y'oti.'r "I Killed Him!" "Yon will before we get through with you." The man's innate cruel- ty reflected itself in his face. "You came hero asking for `trouble, just like your brother. \Ve caught him snooping. \Ve caught you. It's not healthy to know too much about Mike Bentley. You're finding that out. Your biother discovered the sante thing." "You admit you • killed him?" "Sure, I slid. And I did a swell job of it. Unidentified drunk killed on curve. Everybody forgot about itim as soon as the inquest was over. No one will bother much about a dead cattle thief either," "There are a few who might be interested," Larry suggested. "They might even start investi• gating .when I • don't conte back. Ever think about that?" "Let 'em investigate all .they want to, they won't find a thing." Bentley was aggravatingly conft- dent. "Might slow things up for a bit—cancel a few deliveries, but nothing more than that. You're not so important as all that, Col• Well Worked Out "You must have it pretty well worked out."

"Aren't you afraid some- one will start thinking these ac- . cidenls on the curve are occurring too frequently?" • "What if someone does? What ' can he prove? The. sheriff will be the only witness. This setup is per- . feet. It worked for your brother, It'll do f9r you." * * * Bill and two more of Bentley's men came for Larry about 9.30. They tied his hands behind hint, their hustled hint upstairs and out into Bentley's car. Ile was pushed into the front seat beside the ranch- er. He noticed a ratan riding a horse down the highway, leading a second saddled horse. "He goes clown Into the canyon to fire the shot when you ]till your- self," Bentley explained. "IIe'll stay close, to the curve, but well out of your way, From the high- way it sounds like the shot comes from the burning car." Larry was silent. IIe watched another man put a gasoline can in Bentley's car. Bill climbed in the back, fondling a machine gun, Bentley drove out to the highway. A second car followed. "Nice car you've got here," Larry said. "Don't you mind los- ing it?" She's Set the , Day Bentley .was amused. "It's be sured. 1'11 need a new one any- way, when Monnie and I get mar• ried, You knew we were going to be married, didn't you?, Monnie set the day, September 10, this aft- ernoon. She went on in to town to talk to her bridesmaids. 'Poo bad, Collins, You should have stay- ed in Nc'w York," Larry did not answer. After this afternoon, nothing surprised him. IIe didn't mind Monnie believing he was a thief, site might have been angry, but to tell Bentley about Hugh. Than was more than he could stand. He had trusted . her—loved her. The car stopped, but Bentley left the motor running, Larry saw the curve a hundred yards beyond. Bentley got out, called to the men in the other car. "Turn around and jeep the mo- tor running, This will go off just like t1re other one. Joe—you get up on the hill. Fla3lt your light when you see a car coming up, then duck back through the pas- ture.

But I'll take care of Col- lins first." Caught Off Guard IIe came back to Larry, cut the ropes that bound his wrists. "Move over under the wheel, Collins. You're driving from here on." Larry rubbed his wrists to re- store the circulation, When he fail- ed to obey Bentley's command, Bill prodded hint in the back with tate machine gun, "You heard him, buddy, Move over." Bentley handed his automatic 'to Bill. "I'11 take that tominy-gun up to the other car, Shoot him in the head if he tries anything," He was back in aminute, "All right, Bill. Spill some gasoline back there; wind the fuse up over tate door." He took his gun from Bill, got into the seat • beside Larry. "Any last words, Collins?" "Yon certainly have this down to a system."

Square -toed shoes with straight inner edges are what the child needs, with plenty of space to al- low for quick growing, said the speaker, Ile pointed out that the infant bones and muscles cannot stand the strain of long standing, attend are likely to "flat- ten, out" if the child is encour- aged to stand or walk too much. In adult life, he declared, care of the feet was of the first im- portance to general comfort and health. In this connection he deplored the tendencey of wont= en's footwear to sacrifice com- fort for style. Usually, he de- clared, women's shoes are too narrow, their soles are too thin, the .toes too pointed and the heels outrageously high. All shoes, whether for men or women, should be well -fitting but not too tight, he asserted. The wearer's toes should not touch the end of the shoe, but should have freedom of move- ment, He recommended rubber heels to absorb the shock in walking. Fashion Flashes Prints in large size and well spaced aro attractive for afternoon dresses especially in black and white, and combination colors worked in stripes, are effective. * * * Front fullness is a highlight at coats as well as dresses; and there are numerous examples of pleats for fullness, sometimes all-around, sometimes in clusters. * * * For afternoon weddings, and for the mother of the bride, dresses in pastels, with yokes and sleeves in lace and tucked chiffon, Lingerie accents are important, noted on many dresses with convertible necklines. * * * Jacket ensembles are accented for spring, with bolero and over .the hip lengths in the majority, although the longer, wristlength jacket is also represented, For evening, the brief jacket is also approved, sometimes tieing on at the waistline, * * * A long coat ensemble has n wool- len coat, easily fitted, worn over a printed dress, the coat suggesting a drop -shoulder line in • straps that cross the upper sleeves, The cont is a .medium shade of blue and tiro print in the same background color is interesting with yellow pat- tern. .For Every Cat Its Own Purr • For every cat its own Burr, That is very plain.

Try it and see how double -action permits you to use less and still get better results. Notice, too, how the Calumet tin opens at a" slight twist of the wrist — yet never spills, even when full, Under the lid is a handy device to level each spoonful as you use it. CALUMET IS PRICED SURPRISINGLY LOW I/_ Hr=:`PLS Color Is Rampant In Spring Picture Darker Tones Predominate in Formalized Town Fashions, With Light, Neutral and Bright Shades for Country and Casual Wear Color will run tai ipant for spring! Light, neutral shades, dark and bright shades, are all in the picture—and you will find many to match or contrast with your spring costume. The darker shades pre- dominate in formalized town fash- ions, while the light, neutral and bright shades will find their way in town and country traveling wardrobes. NAVY VERY POPULAR Navy is for greater popularity than ever before. Always a fav- orite, it will lead the spring fash- ion parade. It is shown in suits and coats and sheer dressds, dressed up with crisp, lingerie touches. While red is a natural complement with navy in trims, edging, lining and in bright red blouses, Navy sportswear is a new "dark horse" and with white braid and brass buttons on a slacks out. - fit or suit, navy has a real nautical flavor. Another blue that is in the spring fashion picture is Ai force blue, seen particularly in coats and suits, and reflects the military in- fluence and a keen interest in av- iation, GREEN LEADS Newest color group to leap into prominence this spring is green, definitely a color with a future! Highlighted in a wide variety of shades, greens were predominant in the 'Fashion Futures show held in New York. Greens from lime green, yellowed greens and dark forest greens . . . ali have a na• tural spring flavor. Clear, lettuce "Vitamin" green is used for day and evening dresses, while bright Emerald green is the latest news for casual coats and sportswear. Whenever you mention greens, you always think of that other bright color range reds—this spring still a favorite in coats, suits, print dresses and accessories. Women Can Help Nation • To Health It Should Be A National Ob- jective, Says Director of Health League of Canada— Women Needed in Parlia- ment If health were to be a national objective in Canada the doctors needed the help of women, Dr. Gordon Bates, director of the Health League of Canada, said in an address before the Local Council of Women in Toronto. "In all our municipal affairs it .takes men and women together to build a world that makes sense," he said. "Men cannot do it alone. We need more women to give thought to the things that are worthwhile." • RESOLUTIONS NOT ENOUGH Groups of women passing reso- lutions was "not enough." Wo- men by themselves were no more capable of settling the affairs of the world than were men, and women in such groups in the long rim had little political influence, "We need women in our poli- tical assemblies and in all of our serious national • deliberations," he said. "We need women in parliament; the need women to work with men to decide the fu- ture of mankind." Coldest Place Russia claims that the coldest place in the world is 01-Mekon, in Siberia, where water thrown from a . bucket out of a first - floor window is said to freeze before it reaches the ground.

Spring to a Canadian is the news that "the sap is running" or later the long anticipated information, that "Maple syrup is on the market". What could be more patriotic than to encourage the use of . Maple Syrup? Then we immediately think of pancakes, waffles or muffins— so here goes; PANCAKES 2 cups sifted pastry flour 3 teaspdbns baking powder 1,42 teaspoon salt 2 eggs • 1% cups milk cup melted butter Measure flour and sift with bak- ing powder and salt. Add beaten egg, milk and melted butter. Add tho liquids slowly to the dry in-' gredients, Some eggs vary as does the flour; if batter seems too thin add a little more flour, Pour or drop rounds of batter on hot fryleg pan. When bubbles appear ttuas and brown on the other side. Serve piping hot with Maple Syrup. WAFFLES 11,7 cups sifted flour, 14 cup whole wheat Maur 3 teaspoons baking powder 1•2 teaspoon'salt 3 egg yolks 3 teaspoons baking powder teaspoon salt 3 egg whites beaten stiffly 142 cup cream cup milk 4 tablespoons melted butter Sift flour, baking powder and salt. If using whole wheat too, toss in after sifting flour, Then add well -beaten egg yolks, mink and cream, and lastly the melted but- ter. Drop and cook on electric waffle iron in the usual way. Serve with plain maple syrup or a thinly whipped cream with shaved maple sugar added. Waffles are not syn- onymous with breakfast any more. They can be dressed up w��...► vat', ied wardrobe, making them a well- behaved addition for luncheon or evening as well as breakfast. WHOLE WHEAT MUFFINS 2 cups whole wheat flour 1 egg 1.4 cup butter 1 cup brown sugar 1 cup buttermilk 12 teaspoon soda Cream butter and sugar, add the egg nvell-beaten. Beat together un- til very creamy. Then add butter- milk with soda dissolved aid last- ly the whole wheat flour. A dash of nutmeg is a pleasing addition..
