Nazi's Produced
Synthetic Butter
and Egg Powder
Recent developments in the
manufacture of real and synthetic
butter in Gertnany may have a far•
reaching effect on Canada's export
of butter, it was revealed at a press
conference by Dr. W. H. Cook of
the National Research Council.
In one section of Germany which
he visited recently as a special Can-
adian Government investigator, Dr.
Cook examined a butter -making
machine which was small in size
but turned out high quality butter
at the rate of nearly 1.000 pounds
an hour,
Apart from this high-speed but-
ter -maker which is vastly ahead of
Canadian practice, Dr. Cook said,
the Germans had gone far in the
manufacture of a synthetic butter
or tnargerine from petroleum. This
product is edible and nutritious and
one plant in Germany alone made
40,000 tons of the "ersatz" butter
every year.
Germany also had made marked
steps in the manufacture of syn.
thctic powdered eggs, Dr. Cook
said. At the I-Iernman Goering
Foundation, no less than five types
of egg powder had been developed
for varying uses. For cooking and
baking purposes, he said, the Ger-
man powdered product had proven
even better than eggs laid by the
hen.
Field Crops' Value
Lowest Since 1941
Gross value of principal field
crops produced on Canadian farms
in 1915 was estimated by the Do-
minion Bureau of Statistics at $1,-
003,859,000, lowest since 1011, but
still almost doubly: the 1935-39
average of $583,260,000.
The 1945 total was a decrees'!:;',;
,7222,1.19,000 from the 1941 rcvi ed
estimate, with most of the decline
-
dt.e to smaller production, particu-
larly in Prairie Province grain
crops.
The 1915 wheat crop was valued
at $320,600,000, $133,600,000 less
than the revised 1944 value of
$460,400,000 and a reflection of
drought conditions in Saskatche-
wan and Alberta. Other principal
grain crops, oats, barley, rye and
flaxseed, showed appreciable de-
clines.
Slight 'reductions were indicated
for potato and root crops, some-
what lower production in these
cases being offset by increased
prices. Hay and clover and alfalfa
crops, A3 a result of increased pro-
duction, were higher.
Compared on a Provincial basis,
the most significant change in
value occurred in Saskatchewan,
where the decrease amounted to
$153,700,000, a reduction of 34 per-
cent front 1944,
The onl. Provinces showing in-
creases in estimated values are
Ontario, British Columbia and
Prince Edward Island.
Tuberculosis is recognized as the
most destructive of all infectious
maladies; it causes the death of
more children and young people
than all other contagious diseases
together.
Record of Safe
Railway Travel
Last year only 12 people in all
were fatally injured on United
Kingdom Railways; that is, one
person in 150 million carried. Only
two railway accidents incurring loss
of life occurred during the whole
year.
This unusually high margin of
safety was attained despite the fact
that the war had led to a terrific
overburdening of the staff and
stock. It is to be expected that the
corresponding peacetime figures
will be even more favorable.

ALL READY FOR "OPERATION MUSK-OX"
Various forms of face masks and goggles have been issued to members of the force which will
make up Exercise Musk-ox, the joint army -air force Arctic expedition. Left in the picture are
ordinary plexiglass goggles, as supplied to air -force personnel, These are used as eye protection.
The second man in the picture is wearing a canvas face mask, under which is a breather mask similar
to that on the extreme right. Third, is a chamois face -mask issued for patrol work to enable the trek-
ker to keep his face warm. Cut into the face are two narrow slits about the size of a pencil point for
eye pieces. The last face -piece is goggles, anti -dust, which have a nose breather on them that filt-
ers the cold air. Cold air has a nasty habit of freezing the lungs. The eye -pieces are also replace-
able. A quick push removes them and either one of four types of lenses can be quickly inserted—a
polaroid for anti -glare, an orange color for horizon and sky separation in haze, an all-around filter to
stop undue snow, reflections, and a normal clear one.

Gary thought even icss of the
Idea when at night hill appeared,
shaven and spruce, all dressed up
in gray slacks and a snappy plaid
coat.
They'd been having a niee, quiet
game of three -handed ruts nv
when Bill arrived, And in four
minutes by Gary's watch, the radio
was going and Bill and Adelaide
were dancing in the hall, while
Mrs, Alason sat and beamed and
tnurnturcd how much she liked
boys and wasn't Gary pleased to
see his old college friend again?
"Oh, yes," grumbled Gary,
"Bill's all right. IIc'II get along."
"You'll get along, too, Gary.
Nov, you go straight out and
make Adelaide dance with you. 1'11
get Bill out in the kitchen and
make him squeeze leptons."
But Adelaide was out of breath,
she protested—and %vhy not every-
body go and help squeeze lemons?
llarvey carte tramping in at
eleven o'clock, all aglow, pleased
with himself. lle hanged Gary vi-
gorously on the back,
"Well, old croaker, I nailed 'cut
to the cross! I'tn getting my water
from town—all 1 want."
"Ilut you have to lay your own
pipe?"
"Sure—what's a little pipe? Lay
it on top of the ground—won't
lake long. Got to have water to
drill a well, haven't we
* * •
The dance was not a conspicu-
ous success for Gary. Ile had, at
the last minute, rashly spent most
of his money for a white suit and
some shoes; he had escorted Ade-
laide—looking crisp and smart and
altogether adorable in a pale yellow
dance frock and little gold slippers.
"You loole like a daffodil," he ad-
mired her.
"Well, thank goodness for dis-
cerning man," she sighed, spread -
in her
g wide fluff of skirt carefuliy,
"Dad just told nuc I looked like
fifty pounds of butter,"
There was a little too much of
Bill at the dance.
Gary danced with Adelaide once,
rather awkwardly because of his
lance arm, and Bill cut in before
they had gone twice around the
floor.
After a while Gary went hack
and leaned against the wall, and
presently Adelaide swooped upon
him and slid her arts through his.
"Where on earth have you been "
she demanded, "You are the most
elusive date I ever had, Come along
and dance, Sourpuss,"
So he danced with her, and Bill
est in immediately, whereupon
Gary found his aloof post again and
parked there for what seemed
hours. Adelaide and Bill had dis-
appeared, and the band was plow-
ing through "Good Night, Ladies,"
when they came back,
She was airy and difficult all the
way home and Gary said very lit-
tle until they were at the door.
Then Gary said, "Thanks very
much for a pleasant evening."
Harvey was morose at breakfast,
growling about the rain and the
delays.
"'There won't he any delays,"
Gary assured hint. "I'll keep the
gang working."
Then came a morning, when the
drizzle slacked a little, and Harvey
announced that the drillers would
move on that day.
"Pretty muddy out there yet, to
stove heavy machinery in." Mary
reminded him,
"Hickey says he can make it."
"hickey1" Gary explained, "You
didn't hire hickey:"
"Sure, I hired hint, Got the best
price out of him,"
"lint --.his outfit's in bad shape!
that's why he made you a low price
—because his stuff is no good." 1)id
you take a look at l-Iickey's bits?
'1'hcvy hadn't been sharpened in
nconths when 1 sate them."
"1 -It'll have 'ern sharpened —
saw to that."
Gary \Vent out heavily, hickey
would move on the job and, unless
extraordinary luck was with them,
grief would move on with him. It
began that afternoon, when the first
of the tremendous trucks appeared.
In the middle of the pasture, the
truck bogged down in the black
earth and there it stayed for two
days, while a dozen men sweated
and SItoteied and swore, trying to
get it nut. But not until a wind blew
and the soil dried would it stir—
and by that time three other heavi-
ly loaded trucks had piled up be-
hind it—with the lifting hoist at
the tail end of the procession.
Adelaide climbed to the top of
a fence post and sat there, with a
raincoat buttoned to her chin,
thrilled and gloating, "This is fun,''
she told Gary. "And look—he's
p-inded everything. Bright Intel It
looks better now, doesn't it?"
"Depends," frowned Gary, "on
what's under the paint."
"You're bound to be a gloom,
aren't you, darling?"
I'in a petroleum engineer—I
hope. Where's your blond friend,
Bill?"
"Olt, but he's your friend—don't
you remember? I-Ie's in Houston
tic w."
"I-Iad a letter from him, did
you?" Gary was being nasty and
enjoying it.
"No, it wasn't a letter. It was a '
telegram, Look savage some more
—I like to shiver."
"I've plenty to be savage about."
"Mother signed some papers,"
Adelaide said. "I don't know what
they were. but Dad was mad, and
when Mother tried to talk to hint
he told her to shut up."
Gary walked away, thoughtful
and uneasy, So Harvey Mason was
mortgaging something—he'd had
to undoubtedly, because an oil well
was a cash proposition.
But at last, on Saturday, the
great casing went down and gray
cefnient poured in, in a rolling
stream, and Gary helped Adelaide
up to the derrick and held her
while she looked down,
"When they get enough concrete
down there, they'll put this wooden
block on top of it. And then they-
'll force water down there under
enormous pressure till it drives the
block down and the cement up, be-
hind the pipe till it seals the sides
of the well, Alonday they'll start
drilling," Gary said.
The great boilers roared, and the
hot oil smoke from the burners
rode the north wind and seeped in-
to the house, and Ilona Lee sniffed
it unhappily, "You can even taste
it in the coffee," she complained.
"Tastes like stoney to Ole," Har-
vey said. He was more affable now
that the slush pit was dug.
Roughnecks with steel tongs per-
ched precariously .'nigh in the der-
rick, and when a length of drill
pipe came riding up, they grappled
and held it, screwing it on to the UNRRA has provided 1,3011, -
length that had gone down before. 904,960 pounds of food, mostly to
'.''hen the black kelly joint rode Greece, Yugoslavia. Al muia,
up and was coupled to the pipe— Czechoslovakia, and Poland.
and the whole went down, the
swivel clanked into place again, the
rotary turned as the draw gear
grunted and whined—and deeper
and deeper into the earth sank
the hungry bits,
At the top of the derrick the
crown block, with its great pulleys,
spun and hunnncd as the heavy
cables slashed and tightened. His
boots epee wlhsidth mud and
grease, Ilarvey stood fascinated, as
long as the rotary turned and drill
was going clown, but \vhen the roar
of the gears ceased and the clank-
ing of chains began and the pipe
carne up slowly, slobbering mud
and water, anxiety tightened his
face.
"Something wrong?"
"Nope—just changing bits, Want
to see what they're getting out
now? Don't come too close, you'll
get all muddy."
Ile crouched over the slush pit
and brought tip a handful of gray,
dripping debris in his palet "Peel
that? 'That's rock—'caprock,' oil
men call it. Down below they'll
hit chalk, perhaps—limestone, may-
be. Then, if we're lucky, there trill
he yelowish rock with streaks of
sant) and oil in it—and then we're
clown, Hickey's going to change
bits now. Have to keep grinding
than all the time."
"Poor old earth! 1 wonder if it
hurts."
"No groans yet, But sometimes
the earth hates the drill and blows
it out—and then for weeks you live
with trouble, You get a blowout on
a well—a crater at the top and the
sides cave in and the gas roars
out like something out of hell, I've
seen one blowout."
"I-Iow do they know the drill's
going straight down? Suppose it
wobbled around and went crooked
and Maybe ended up away over on
old man Harper's place."
"Not likely—not that much. But
a variation of a quarter -inch here
at the surface can widen till it gets
pretty big at the bottom of the
three -thousand -foot hole. I've seen
wells put down that hit the casing
on other wells, three hundred feet
away."
"I wish we could get ever on
Harper's place — I wish we'd bore
straight through his house — the
mean old tlhingl"
"Seen your sister lateiy?"
"They were coating out Sunday
—and then Dad was still angry 50
Mother phoned Grace not to come.
She didn't want Dad and Oliver to
get into a fight." She knocked on
the fence postwith her clenched
knuckles. "I'm stiff. Help me down.
I think I'm tired of this oil well. I
think I need a maple fudge sun-
dae. Let's get this scud off and go
to town."
"Can't do it. I'm a tvorkingman.
Your father expects me to stay
around. When anything happens. it
happens quick, on a job like this.
Good -by, idle woman."
"Good -by, Mud-dathber. Let me
know when you get oil, will you?"
"I won't need to int you know.
You'll hear the gang yell all the
way to town."
Seven hundred feet, and still
Hickey's draw gear groaned, and
the cables held, and the rotary
turned. Hickey grinned his tooth-
less, malicious grin whenever Gary
was around. But Mason had an-
nounced that Gary Tallman was
his field superintendent, and there
was nothing for Hickey to do but
listen when Gary spoke.

Modern Etiquette
By Roberta Lee
I. Would it be good manners for
a girl to ask her dinner partner for
a cigarette?
2. \\'hat would be a suitable
phrase for a wife to use when in-
troducing her husband to another
woman?
3. Is it obligatory to tip a servant
in a home where one has spent a
single night?
4. What would be the best way
to go about making up the list to
whom wedding invitations are to
be sent?
5, Are salted nuts and bonbons
Included among the regular dinner
courses? •
6. Whom should one select to
act as a chaperon?
ANSWERS
I. Yes, if her dinner partner is
forgetful enough not to offer her a
cigarette without this reminder. 2,
"Mrs. Barns, may I introduce my
husband to you?" 3. It is custom-
ary to do so if the servant has done
some special service. 4• The prefer-
able way is for the bride and the
bridegroom to stake up this list to-
gether, consulting the parents of
both families. 5, No; the nuts and
bonbons are passed from time to
time. 6. Any married woman.

(Jur bit miners arrived by car
late Christmas Eve. It was well
they did for the driving tt•ould
have been t ery bad Christmas
morning. They came in laden with
parcels, gay with coloured wrap-
pings, tags and ribbons, and those
same percels were soon carefully
distributed around the Christmas
tree. t\e teased each other with
time-honoured family phrases—"I
know something you don't know"
"Yes, and I know something
YOU don't know!”
The next morning I couldn't
help laughing when I suddenly re-
membered how time reverses
things. When the children were
.mall it was they who were up
early; they who crouched around
on the floor around the Christmas
tree, reading the name tags, feeling
the parcels, trying to guess by
their size and shape what wonder-
ful surprises mould be found in-
side. Now it was I who did the
crouching and guessing! Partner
and son Bob were of course, out
at the barn milking, Daughter and
friend Bert were not up yet Bo I
had the floor to myself. I an: tel-
ling you I was really curious. But
I didn't peak and when we were
all together I wouldn't let anyone
else peak either. The morning's
work had to be done first, no mat-
ter what. Then there was dinner—
which really wasn't much of a
chore at all, because I had cooked
the turkey and all the trimmings
the day before so it had only to be
pepped into the oven and heated
up again. \o one knew after the
first course how they were going
to find room for Chrittm as pud-
ding but we managed it somehow.
And then came the tree—yes,
exen before the washing of dishes.
Not one of us could wait any long-
er. Not that we were looking for
anything big but you kunst• what
pleasure there is in this inter-
change of family gifts, Who else
knows one's needs and fancies so
well as tine members of one's own
family? Certainly there was a ring
of sincerity in our voices as each
one of us said—"That is exactly
what I wanted!" In fact I was so
fcrtunate in one of my gifts that
I hardly knew how to tear myself
away from it at all. It was from
Partner—a copy of Nellie Mc-
Ctung's latest book—"The Stream
Runs Fast'. IIe had heard ole say,
after reading a review of the book,
that I wanted to get a copy, so
the news was relayed to Daughter.

KID EYACIDS
Rob your Rest..
Manypeople p p never seem to get a good
night's rest. They turn and toss—blame it
on 'nerves'—when it may be their kidneys.
Healthy kidneys filter poisons and excess
acids from the blood. If they fail and
impurities stay in the system—disturbed
rest often follows. If you don't rest well
get and use Dodd's Kidney Pills. Dodd's

The Friendly
Persuasion
By Jessamyn West
The chief characters in The
Friendly Persuasion are Indiana
Quaker Jess Birdwell, a red-head-
ed, music loving nursery man who
has a knack for getting what he
wants despite all obstacles; his
preacher wife Eliza, a wonderful
mixture of ausItrity, serenity, wo-
manliness and temperament; their
sons Lake and Josh, whose Qua-
kerism gets its severest and most
touch;ng test during the Civil
\Var; and their daughter Mattie,
an 1850 Junior Mi. -
The friendly Persuasion is a rare
and beautiful adventure in read-
ing. It is a heart-warming book
that will endure as a beloved clas-
sic.

AIlies' Greatest
Hoax Of War
Strips Of Tinfoil Dropped By
Allied Planes Jammed Nazi
Radio Communications
Where was the German Luft-
waffe on the night before the
European invasion?
The question has been asked but
not answered, many a tinge since
that day, June iii, 1911, tvhen a ire•
mentions Allied fleet put asho'•3 in
Normandy—the greatest invasion
torte in all history, writes a c:arrc-
apondent of the Christian Science
Afonitor. The men w•ho manned the
ships and the soldiers who waded
ashore each thought it a very im-
portant question,
There wcrc Luftwaffe units in
the area, and the query still per-
sists. What wcrc they doing, and
where were they?
The anwcr given to the public
recently for the first trine, hands a
well-(lc-crt cd accolade to a small,
little-known, but extremely hard-
working group of airmen.
From planes loaded with pd nt
Planes Loaded With "Window"
From air stations in the Jlidlands
and north of Ytiglaud on that
never -to -Ise -forgotten night, 30 air-
craft took off into the fast-growing
(lar!:1css loaded with 'window"
"Window" is the code name applied
to a titin metallic strip of foil, the
saute laud of tinfoil used on chew-
ing gum anal candy wrappers be-
fore tite (car. This foil was cut
Into thin strips and packaged, sever-
al thousand strips to a bundle
weighing two ounces. "Chaff" when
thrown from a Plane has the same
effect on a radar scope as the plane
Itself. A number of these loosed
successively in the air causes the
real targets to become indis-
tinguishable, and the effect can best
be likened to an electrical smoke
screen,
Feint Successful
These 30 planes rendezvoused
over the coast of England, across
front Calais, Flying at an altitude
tut alr-borne mission toward France,
they threw out their "chaff." The
/oopes of the German radar warn-
ing net registered a great fleet of
Nrcraft corning, and the Luftwaffe
was ordered to intercept.
The Royal Air Force planes
circled the area in which the Ger.
Man fighters were waiting, and with
rpecial transmitters jammed ground
sir radio communications, keeping
the Germans in the air until out of
}gal, preventing tlieir diversion to
the actual invasion point, Allied
planes flew over naval vessels,
dropping "chaff" which gave the
same effect on German scopes as a
co-ordinated naval invasion armada.
'All this was carried on around the
Calais arca, while the real invasion
force went somewhere eisel
Thus it was that a successful
feint was made through the use of
radar countermeasures and the first
phase of the greatest invasion feat
in military history was on its fray
without mishap.
Industrial Use
of Atomic Energy
Prediction that the first peace-
time use of atomic energy would
be either for a big power station
or for boilers of a large ship made
by Sir George Paget Thomson,
chairman of a group of British
natural scientists appointed in 1040
to develop atomic fission,
"Gradually the new power will
spread to other purposes," Sir
George said, "But the internal
combustion engine will long re-
main the most suitable prime
mover for small powers.
Ultimately, large-scale irrigation
of deserts suggests itself, but
these are matters of the distant fu-
ture."

Production of both drugs in

Princess Elizabeth
A Very Human Girl
Her Royal I•Iighness Princess
Elizabeth has taken another step
toward full adult status by going
on her first after -theatre supper
party, unattended except by the
other youthful members of her
party, relates the Windsor Star.
The picture of this young woman
(lancing until past midnight in a
public restaurant is an appealing
one. It means something to Bri-
ton all over the world.
In few monarchies could such a
precious personage go about so un-
protected and in such perfect safe-
ty. Few of her rank in other coun-
tries would want to do so. The
sheltered little Princess is growing
up into a very human young wo-
man, and every such incident In
her career brings her closer to the
hearts of her people.
They Shouldn't Die
Children are dying of diphtheria
says Major General Chisholm, "be-
cause of the ignorance, prejudice
and negligence of their parents",
and the time will come "when par-
ents allowing their children to die
unnecessarily will be charged with
manslaughter", Strong statements,
but true, says the Ottawa Citizen.
MACDONAIDS
Use of Coal Once
Considered Illegal
Coat is front-page news today.
It is difficult to realize that
there was a time when coal was
highly unpopular. Legislation was
introduced to prevent its use, says
Toronto Saturday Night.
In the reign of King Edward 1
coal was regarded with the deepest
suspicion and disfavor. Its use was
forbidden in London,
The penalty against infringe-
ments of this law was most severe
—a large fine or even the suspen-
sion of a business. One Londoner
was convicted and sentenced to
death for breaking it.
In winter the staple food for the
Eskimo is boiled seal and walrus
meat.

First Known Case
of DDT Poisoning
The fir_,t known case of fatal
poisoning I,y I)1)1' teas reported
last week in the current issue of
the 11titisit Medical Journal.
The Journal said that the 10 -
month, -old child of a West Afri-
can soldier died atter drinking ap-
proximately one ounce from a bot-
tle of 1)1)T and crude paraffin
mixture, 'Pests, the journal said,
proved the insecticide and not the
paraffin caused the death.
The Journal also reported that
tests at the Royal Naval Piysio-
ogical Laboratory had revealed a
grave hazard of "DDT intoxica-
tion" for persons using concentra-
tions of the insecticide,
It said persons exposed to DDT
were affected by smarting of the
eyes, tiredness, heaviness and ach-
ing of limbs, irratability and a feel-
ing of mental incompetence.
One subject of the experiments
had to stay in bed for a clay, it
added.
Rationing Ensures
Even Distribution
From the great mass of figures
presented to the food production
conference one tiling stands out—
that Canadians are eating today
more of almost everything than
they did before the war, and this
despite rationing, says the Ottawa
Journal, In other words, consider-
ing the country as a «!tole, ration-
ing is no hardship, but is an effec-
tive means of even distribution,

It Takes Time
To Learn Trades
No man can bveonie a skilled
workman in a few mouths; a car-
penter who has had four years'
apprenticeship is just beginning to
be capable of good work, and
brickla3 ing takes just as long to
learn, says the Peterborough Ex-
aminer, Boys and young hien now-
adays du not want to take the time
to learn trades, at iow wages; they
do not like the discipline which
learning a trade involves. Appar-
ently they would rather be •unskil-
led workers, subject to every lay-
off and wltini of fate, than skilled
workplan who are always sure of
jobs.
Rations Down Under
Will Not be Lifted
There is no prospect of meat and
butter rationing being lifted in Aus-
tralia before 1947, according to Fe-
deral Commerce Department ex-
perts..\lthough the end of the war
brought a sharp decrease in service
demands for these two commodi-
ties, all surpluses above minimum
house consumption requirements
will have to be exported to main-
tain the peoples of Britain and re-
lieve distress in liberated areas.
Officials disclosed that Australia
already is sending substantial sup-
plies of processed milk to Borneo,
Singapore, Shanghai, and Hong
Kong.
Hove You Heard?
"I called to make an ap-
pointment with the dentist."
"He's out just now."
"Ah, when do you expect
him to be out again?"
After a very thorough exatni-
nation the Army doctor eyed the
tall and very thin recruit in si-
lence.
"Well, doctor," said the recruit
at last, "how do I stand?"
"Goodness knows," replied the
b1,O. "It's a miracle!"
Jane (to the policeman on
the corner. "Please, Mr, Po-
liceman, have you seen a lady
without a little girl that looks
like me?"
The lost chord was surely elusive
And caused a composer worry;
But have you looked, brother and
sister,
For string when you're In a
hurry?
