CARBON, ALBERTA, THURSDAY, APRIL 8, 1943
The past ten days has transformed this country from winter to spring and large flocks of ducks and geese are around in the various sloughs, The geese, in particular, have been resting on the Alex Reid slough west of town and on the backwaters in the creek. With crows, meadow larks, robbins, and other birds back in numbers it appears that spring is definitely here and we hope for better weather from now on. The crocus buds are thick on the hills and the grass is getting green in places, There is no better weather prophet that Nature itself,

Boat Torpedoed in the Mediterranean in Feb’y
Stoker Wm, Oliphant of the RCNV R, who was one of the survivors of the corvette “Louisbure” whieh was sunk in the Mediterranean early in February, was in town for a couple of days last week, and related some of the high lights of the sinking.
He says that the Italian plane which dropped the aerial torpedo that sank his ship, came in low just at dusk and dropped its “tin fish” before the plane was spotted, The torpedo struck in the engine room, and Bill was one of the seamen in the boiler room, As they came out of the hold they went over the sides, Bill did not have his life belt on and he says he never thought of that at the time, The ship sank in less than four minutes and only a couple of rafts and a boat were launched, and out of a crew of about 90 men, 42 were lost, most of them going down with the suction from the boat, Had it not been for the boilers blowing up, Bill says that he would also have been sucked down with the others, but that the explosion enlmed the waters and gave them time to get away. His worst experience was s ming through the heavy crude oil on

“There has been an unexpected and
very much appreciated rise in the price of wheat on the Winnipeg Grain Exchange, Over the past few days the price advanced several cents, this be- ing caused by purchases of our wheat in the United States.” People in the United States, no doubt, are purchasing Canadian wheat first because the United States’ own surplus of wheat and other grains dis- appearing at an astonishing rate; and secondly, because of the great differ ence in the price of wheat—$1.45 at Chicago and 90 cents the official price at Winnipeg—.
Ever since the war started I have steadfastly maintained that wheat, be- ing the only surplus foodstuff in the world, was a most valuable commodity and I have always thought that sooner or later our surplus of wheat would be needed, Incidentally the rise in price shows the great value to the farmer of Winnipeg’s open “Futures” market for without that market this rise, which is now being enjoyed by farm- ers, could not have been registered. “-—-oo Se GEORGE HOFER KILLED WHEN TRUCK TURNS OVER

HEALTH LEAGUE OF CANADA UNUSUAL NUTRITIVE FOODS
Wartime conditions call attention to certain types of food which have hitherto been greatly neglected despite their high nutritive content, but which now can readily substitute for foods which are hard to obtain.
For example, in Canada, we throw away thousands of pounds of skim milk every year. A great deal of course is fed to hogs, but even this is waste, nutritionists tell us, for the nutritients in skim milk, pound for pound, equal those of muscle meat, and 10 pounds of these nutrients is required to pro- duce one pound of food nutrients in the form of meat. Other less costly foods would do as well for hogs. This skim milk in the form of powder can provide us with valuable vitamins in our bread, cakes and puddings. 3uttermilk, too, is highly nutritious matching skim milk in its content of vitamins and minerals. It also can be dried and thus distributed more economically.
The most nutritious parts of beef and pork carcasses, strange to say, are seldom chosen by the customer and are wasted by being made into fer- tilizer or feed. The blood, lungs, stomach, liver, pancreas, kidney, brain and heart are spurned by many people. Actually these organs are tremendously rich in the essential vitamins and minerals, The Navajo Indian of the United States, for example, who in contrast to many other Indian groups, has retained his vigor despite proximity to the white man’s civilization, con sumes all vestiges of the sheep or goat he kills and exhibits a decided pref- erence for the contents of the stomach. He eats the organs first.
Nutritionists point out that much could be done to improve the nutritive quality of processed meats by including in them organ meat and blood. It is an actual fact that the dog food manufactured by Canadian packers, con- taining much of what they designate as offals, is superior in nutritive value to most of the meat they market for human food,
By utilising these unusual foods Canadians would not only discover exciting new dishes, but would be certain of obtaining the vitamins and minerals they need.

Is fat being wasted in your |kitchen? Some meat experts say that half the fat content of veal and beef, four-fifths the fat content of mutton and lamb, three-fifths the
fat content of pork, and one-fourth | the fat of poultry is wasted in the
kitchen,
On the alert for every source of waste fats to be detoured from kitch- en to the tune of 35,000,000 pounds this year, careful cooks will not overlook the amount to be obtained from
liquids in which meats are boiled, or |

Even the smallest household where the cooking is done on a single elec- tric plate has some waste fats, The water in which a single pig’s hock is boiled, when skimmed, will yield three or four tablespoon- |fuls of this vital grease. This with

sage will soon add up to a pound. When this amount has been obtained lit should be disposed of through the neighborhood meat market or a sal- vage collection agency, together with |serap fats and bones.

Famous For His Grin |Ivan Maisky, Soviet Ambassador To Britain, Always Has One Ready
L. S. B. Shapiro, London corre- spondent, says: British diplomats have always been noted for their capacity to conceal emotion under a mask of cold indifference, but none of them has been able to match the uniform grin which hides the emo- tions of Ivan Maisky, the Soviet Am- jbassador. A diplomatic correspond- ent recalled the other day a Lord
Mayor’s dinner in 1935. As each dis- tinguished guest was announced, there was warm applause. When
Ambassador Maisky’s name was an- nounced, there was a pregnant sil-| ence. Mr. Maisky's reaction was a grin. In early 1939, when Britain was feverishly trying to court Rus- sian favor, Mr, Maisky was cheered | everywhere he went. He greeted the ovations with the same grin. The Russo-German treaty of August, 1939, threw Mr. Maisky into Again he was coldly that same meaningless grin never left | his face. One day in the Commons, Lady Astor had harsh things to say | about Russia and she said them while waving her arms in the direction of Mr. Maisky’s seat in the diplomatic | gallery. The eyes of all were upon him. His only reaction was the grin. Today Mr. Maisky is a triumphant hero wherever he goes. At banquets and mass meetings, at military re- |views and in the Commons, he hears glowing things said about him and his country. His reaction has_ not changed. It is still—the grin,

DESIRES |
Our nature is inseparable from de-, sires, and the very word desire—-the craving for something not possessed —implies that our present felicity is not complete.-Thomas Hobbes,
There is nothing capricious in na-| ture; and the implanting of a desire— indicates that its gratification is in the constitution of the creature that feels it.—-Emerson,

Shades Pulled Down
The fickle days of spring are close upon you. The weeks when the weather blows warm one day and cold the next. It is a period when women in homes can do much to save fuel and thus to help relieve the great burden on transportation. Be careful of heat, the government warns, and see that open doors and windows do not waste fuel. Keep your eye on the furnace and don’t have big fires needlessly. Help to keep the house comfortable by pull- ing down the window shades from dusk to daylight. Believe it or not your house is 10 per cent. warmer that way, and this 10 per cent. is enough to make the difference be- tween comfort and shivers on cold spring nights.

The Post-War Outlook Is
None Too Good For Sweden, The Scandinavian Neutral
(By Christina Bjurgstrom, Central Press Canadian Correspondent)
I*
month ago in Stockholm, Sweden,
the Russians have taken the Arctic port of Petsamo, announced a
formerly a part of Finland, then again
the door opens to Sweden to take up arms against the German war machine and join the Allied nations. The Swedes were, theoretically at least, anti- Nazi when they accepted war aid from the British and Americans prior to Hitler's domination of the Scandinavian countries, which included armed
occupation of Norway and Denmark.
SURROUNDED—By the Axis
Oddly enough the Petsamo report has neither been denied or confirmed by Helsinki, Moscow or Berlin. Prime Minister Winston Churchill, soon after taking the helm of the government of the British empire, appealed to the smaller neutrals of Europe to take up arms against the Nazis before they were engulfed. Sweden chose to do business with Hitler. Since the out- break of World War II many of the Nazi’s finest instruments of war have been fashioned in the foundries of this Scandinavian nation and much of Germany’s best food has come from the labors of Sweden's industrious farmers and fishermen.
Under the threat of armed occupa- tion, such as was visited upon Nor- way, Sweden elected to bargain with Hitler. This trade has been lucra- tive. The nation has found an im- mediate market for nearly everything she had available. In addition, the Swedes have conducted business with Finland, her neighbor to the east, which has been fighting on Hitler's side against Russia, the colossus of the Allies.
With events portending an Allied triumph Sweden is trying to win the sympathy of Hitler’s enemies. The Swedish government has announced that henceforth Germany will not be allowed any credit. All trade will be on a strictly cash-and-carry basis. Swedish newspapers have been pre- senting a bold editorial front before the Nazi regime.
Sweden faces serious consequences as a result of her so-called neutral attitude toward the conflict. The world markets in which she partici- pated will be shrunken, if not entirely gone, in the post-war era. Her major export commodity was paper and pulp. The Allied nations have already reorganized their pulp industry, to function on a permanent basis, to the exclusion of the Swedes.
Totally surrounded by Axis-domi- nated nations, Sweden had no alterna- tive but to accept German dictation, in pursuing her policy of remaining out of the wart. The demands of the Nezis and Finns have precipitated sharp shortages at home.
The bread ration is seven ounces daily (less than a half pound), one egg per person a week and six ounces of meat, Coffee and tea are tech- nically rationed but they are almost
impossible to obtain. Cocoa has be- come a mere memory.
In mid-January fish was placed on the ration list. Liberal amounts of rice are offered to housewives as a bonus for passing up their allot- ments of meat and fish.
To spread the available barley crop further, the alcoholic content of beer has been reduced to 2 per cent., a re- duction of five-tenths of a per cent. from last year’s content.
The conservation of fuel has hit apartment houses. Stockholm, the capital, is the only Swedish city with many apartments. Here dwel- lers are allowed hot water only three days a week. : .
Swedish destroyers, sunk in a still unexplained explosion in 1941, have been raised, repaired and most of them are now available for duty. An air force, the size of which is not dis- closed, has been developed and is re- garded as of excellent quality. Their planes are of special design and built for the peculiar atmospheric condi- | tions of sub-Arctic Sweden. | Before the actual outbreak of war jin 1939, Sweden had contracted for considerable war material,and a large number of planes from Great Britain and the United States. The Swedish government reports that none of the |armament or material delivered_has fallen into Nazi hands.
Although her resources and produc- tion are utilized by the Nazis, Sweden has contributed to the Allied cause. The Swedish Red Cross reported in 1942 that more than $500,000 in cash and food supplies had been donated to the Norway Relief society to alle- viate distress in that hapless Axis- held neighbor.
The most ambitious charity of the | Swedes had been directed towards the conquered Greeks, A joint Swedish and Swiss commission, with head- quarters in Athens, reports that nearly 100,000 tons of grain, dried vegetables, powdered milk and medi- cinal supplies have been delivered to Greek ports by Swedish ships sailing
from Canada and guaranteed safe passage by all belligerents.
Other Swedish ships have been en- gaged in transporting food and civil- ian necessities to Greece from ports in the Mediterranean under a guar- antee of safe passage from the bellig- erents. >

troops could easily push through to effect a junction with the Russian occupation forces at Petsamo—if they are really there—and she, too, could receive from the Allies what supplies and material her forces re- quired.
As an Allied belligerent, Sweden could place the Nazis in Norway in such peril that their position would be untenable. The noose of armed might being tightened around Ger- many would be drawn tight—oh, so tight!

Commander Of Training Battalion In Britain Had Queer Ideas
The commander of a training bat- talion who is said to have ordered his men to salute with a “Hi-de-hi” and a “Ho-de-ho” has been relieved of his post.
This was disclosed as H. G. Mc- Ghee, Labor member, charged in the House of Commons that the officer, whom he identified as a Lieut.-Col. Gates, treated his men cruelly and made them “look ridiculous in the eyes of the population.”
Declaring the officer “was not sat- isfied” with refusing to grant normal leaves and forcing the men to do pack drill for the slightest offences, Mc- Ghee added: “He issued an instruc- tion that when a squad of men any- where met officers, the officers had to spring to attention and shout ‘Hi-de- hi,’ to which the men in the ranks had to reply ‘Ho-de-ho’.”
Undersecretary cf War Arthur K. C. Henderson explained the colonel had been suspended from his com- mand and given a post in the war transport office.
Not Old-Fashioned
More Machinery On British Farms Than In Any Other Country
British farmers, often considered some of the most old-fashioned in the world, actually make greater use of machinery in agricultural production than any other farmers in the world. The war has worked this revolution. Sir John Russell, director of the famous Rothamsted Experimental Station, has just given out that there are now 100,000 tractors in use in the United Kingdom—or one to every 165 acres of cultivated land. This is more than four times as many as in the Ukraine which is one of the most heavily, mechanized regions of the U.S.S.R.
Charles Banks, head in London of Canada's Munitions and Supply De- partment, surprised a group of Lon- don newspapermen recently by tell- ing them how great was the quantity of equipment Canada sent to increase agricultural production in _ those islands.
TO CONSERVE STEEL
Farmers and others who have empty steel drums and similar con- tainers on hand are being asked by the Administrator of Used Goods to return them to the company whose name they bear, or to dispose of them to the appropriate handlers promptly. By co-operating in this way, farmers will assist in the conservation of steel for other essential purposes.

Some Long Fasts
Gandhi's Appears Insignificant Com- pared To Several On Record
Gandhi's 2i-day fast attracted world-wide attention because of its possible international complications,
but there have been more determined fasters and hunger-strikers than the Indian leader.
jail. When sympathizers blamed De Valera’s Government for their deaths, the Premier retorted that they had killed themselves. Other hunger strikers in the same prison then de- cided to eat. There was logic both sides.
A Frenchman surnamed Jacques fasted for 30 days as an experiment in the 1880's, partaking only of water, and in 1890 an Italian, Lucca, made a 40-day fast with water and other liquids as a diet. Bach re-| covered from the experiment. The famous Dr. Tanner abstained from solid foods for more than a month, | for health reasons, and survived. Per- | haps the most tragic hunger strike on record was that of Terence Mac- , Swiney, Lord Mayor of Cork, pioneer | in the Sinn Fein movement and, prominent figure in the Easter up-| rising of 1916. In 1920 MacSwiney was convicted of having a secret) police cypher and two seditious docu- | ments in his possession. He was given a two-year sentence in Brixton prison and immediately refused to eat. Appeals for his release came | from all quarters but failed to bring | remission of sentence. MacSwiney | died on the 74th day of his fast, at, the age of 40. His coffin, wrapped in the Sinn Fein colors, was carried from St. George’s Cathedral, South- wark, by road to Euston, escorted by English police and Irish volunteers and pipers. The English were sorry for him and the Irish regarded him as a martyr. He rests in St. Finn- barr’s cemetery, Cork.—From_ the Montreal Gazette.

Prefer The Bagpipes
Nothing So Ordinary As Bugle For C.W.A.C, Girls In London
Canadian Women’s Army Corps girls in London don’t tumble out of bed in the morning to anything so ordinary as the bugle. Reveille is sounded for them on bagpipes played by Cpl. Gertrude Péter of Calgary.
Every morning Cpl. Peter gets up five minutes earlier than the others and pipes her way along all the cor- ridors from the first to the fourth floors.
The C.W.A.C.’s say they would “rather have bagpipes than a bugle wake them in the morning.”
They are quite happy to sit around and listen while Gertrude does a little practising, and they like to have her play to them in the evenings. Their two favorite songs are ‘The Road to; the Isles” and “The Highland Wed- ding.” “The Highland Wedding" is} Gertrude's favorite.
Gertrude has been playing pipes ever since she was 11 and at home|} in Canada has 13 medals and 12 cups} won in competitions. She used to be- long to the Calgary girls’ pipe band and the Blue Bonnets pipe band.

There is a large restaurant under- ground as well as another on top of the ground. Each of them is cap- able of feeding several thousand em- ployees in a scientific and efficient manner. One of the problems in con- nection with this factory was the supply of labour. The number of workers at hand was limited. This has been overcome by bringing work- ers there in large numbers of buses and by building dormitories and houses. The dormitories are made up of single and double rooms, compact, but well furnished and comfortable. The buildings are of stone or brick and appeared to be fireproof and sub- stantial. The houses, some of which we were shown through, are small, but bright and comfortable, and planned to make the most of every bit of space. They are certainly a big improvement on the average workman's home.
We also visited aircraft factories, aircraft engine factories and other munition factories. One morning we arrived at one of these factories. The was not very impressive. In fact it looked more like some residen- tial flats than a factory. Yet we spent most of the day going from building to building to see various operations in progress. A fine lunch was served to us in the executive offices. The exact number of em- ployees cannot be given but it was in the tens of thousands, A very large proportion of the workers are women, many of them doing jobs that it was once thought could only be done by men. Before the war these women were hairdressers, barmaids, waitresses, school teachers, shop assistants, domestics and workers in small industrial plants. Others had never worked before.

are continually being exceeded. This is going to be a big factor in over- }coming the Hun. Latest reports are that the Germans are worried over the superiority of the English in pre- cision and quantity of production. Most of these employees work 56 hours a week. When we had a con- ference with Britain’s Minister of Labour, Mr. Ernest Bevin, he told us that there is no gain in working more than 56 hours a week, and that he was trying to get it down to a 53 or 52 hours’ week. He added, ‘We are in the fourth year of the war. Most of the virile people have been taken for the forces. Age groups in industry are higher. Forty-seven is the average age of the Liverpool dockworkers, and in the building trades, the average age is from 45 to 46." We asked two different Cabi- net Minister if England had reached the saturation point in manpower. One answered that there was no such thing as a saturation point in labour, and the other replied, “We are a long way past the saturation point.” We came away from these factories deeply impressed with the fact that the civilian workers are just as hard at work, just as serious in their tasks, and just as anxious to do their utmost to hasten vicory as the mem- bers of the Navy, Army and Air Force.

Brass, Zinc, And Fine Wire Needed In War Effort
The life of the average electric light bulb is from 700 to 1,000 hours. This means a life of about two or three months. In every home the family, instead of throwing “dud” bulbs in the waste basket, can sal- vage them to help along the war effort.
As it is only the bulb end, contain- ing brass and zine and fine copper wires, which is needed for salvage, the bulbs should be smashed so that no jagged edges remain, The ends should then be put away in a box or bag for the salvage collector.

Spread Out Planting
Wise gardeners spread their vege- {table sowings over two or three |}weeks, The old habit of putting in |the whole garden on one Saturday |afternoon was not a good one. Many |things were planted too soon, The jentire garden going in at once re- sulted in a feast of fresh garden peas, }corn, carrots, beans, then a famine.
A properly planted vegetable garden, with plantings spread from, early spring to early summer should | provide a steady supply of the fresh- est garden vegetables from the first week in July until weeks after kill- ing frost. This, of course, is a gen- eral statement and does not apply to those extra balmy areas of South- ern British Columbia and Ontario,
Conditions Are Important
Too often the seed or nursery stock is blamed for poor results when in reality the fault lies entirely in care- less planting. The job is simple but experienced gardeners point out that it must be done properly for satis- factory results.
In the first place, these experts in- sist, the soil and climatic conditions must be favourable. By this they mean that seed should not be sown or plants set out unless the soil is fine, moist—but not muddy—and it must be pressed firmly around the seed or plants to exclude air and en- sure a supply of moisture.
They also mean that the weather must be right. It doesn’t do to plant tender things like melons, cucumbers and tomatoes before danger of frost is over, and it doesn’t do either to wait until summer is at hand before planting hardy things like sweet peas, garden peas, grass and other |hardy lines. These must make their | first growth while the weather is cool land moist. If they don’t, root growth will not be sufficient to carry them through the blazing days of summer,

Explanations and Comments
The Witness of John the Baptist to Jesus the Lamb of God, John 1.19-34. One day in Bethany beyond the Jor- don, John the Baptist was visited by priests and Levites who had been sent by the Pharisees at Jerusalem to in- quire if he were the Christ. Upon his denial they asked, “Who are thou?” and John then gave his famous an- Swer, “I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord.” “Why then bap- tizest thou?” they persisted, and John then bore his witness to Christ say- ing: “I baptize in water: in the midst of you standeth one whom ye know not, even he that cometh after me, the latchet of whose shoe I am not worthy to unloose.”
On the morrow John pointed out Jesus to his (John’s) disciples as ‘‘The Lamb of God that taketh away the sin of the world.” ‘The verse brings us at once to the 53rd chapter of Isaiah, where we see one suffering in the place of sinners; it transports us into the whole realm of Old Testa- ment symbolism, and cannot be un- }derstood save in the light of offer- ings, and expiation, and atonement. It points us forward to the cross, and to the work of the Messiah who ‘bore our sins in his body upon the tree’” (Charles R. Erdman).

People Of Britain Appreciate True Meaning Of Salvage
Today the word “salvage” has a very special meaning to the people living in Britain. Whereas in Canada salvage means the saving of fats and bones in the kitchen, and turning rubber and steel scrap voluntarily to the salvage authorities, in England it becomes a compulsory duty.
In England it is an offense against the law to throw away so much as a bus ticket. Bones, bottles, even the tops of milk bottles must be saved. Tin and metal of all kinds is collected.
The iron railings around the gracious old parks of London and throughout the country have gone to war, and many an old aluminum pot or frying pan is now flying over Ger- many as part of a bomber or fighter.
Newspapers are reduced to four flimsy pages. The quality of books, calendars and magazines has de- teriorated. In England when the neighborhood grocer wraps a loaf in a piece of newspaper, and when the corner tobacconist sells cigarettes loose by the handful, rather than in the package, paper just is not wasted.
The people of Canada should real- ize that although the salvage situa- tion does not appear on the surface to be an urgent problem at home, the elimination of waste is one way of eliminating Hitler and his gangs in the shortest possible time.

THE CAUSE OF HARD TIMES
To his home paper a man in Alberta writes;
Dear Mr, Editor:
There seems to be so much talk about our so-called prosperity, I be- lieve it’s my duty to write my views on the same, and help analyse the situation as far as possible, so’s we can make up our minds we had auto change our ways of living and so forth,
I have taken my own case for in- Stance, I see my mistakes and many others have acted likewise, I bought a Ford instead of a farm and it is all worn out, but the farm I figured on is still O.K, I invested in a radio instead of a cow and the radio gives off static instead of milk,
I am feeding five nice hounds which | answer to the names of Red, Redwing, | Slobber, Jake and Bay rum, instead of five pigs, I had our piano tuned instead of the well cleaned out, I spent all my cash in 1940 and used my credit in 1941 and traded up my future wages on instalments in 1942, so hard times caught me in bad shape last fall.
If I had spent my last ten dollars for flour instead of gas and oil I’d have been O.K, I built a nice garage instead of covering my barn, and I loafed in the mountains two weeks instead of being in the pasture fixing

. ». and when you buy a Victory Bond, to help Bill, and
other boys on active service, you do something that will
benefit. you too. You save money.
It’s really a mistake to say
that you “buy” a Victory Bond. You are not buying anything.
You are saving money, and putting your savings where they will be
absolutely safe, and where they earn money for you. (Each
$100.00
Victory Bond earns $3.00 a year—3% interest.) You are likely pro-
ducing more, and earning more.
You can save more. You
are not
buying some things; you can’t get them. You are buying less of many
things—they’re rationed. You can’t help saving more. See to it that
your savings are kept intact—-earmarked for things you will need when
the war ends. You will have to replace things that are worn out. You
will want a lot of things. Money saved and invested in Victory Bonds
will provide cash to pay for them.
WHAT IS A VICTORY BOND?
A VICTORY BOND is the promise of the Dominion of Canada to repay in cash the full face value of the Bond at the time stipulated, with half-yearly interest at the rate of 3/ per annum until maturity.
A Victory Bond is the safest investmeuc in Canada. The entire resources of the Dominion stand behind it. Canada has been issuing bonds for 75 years, and has never failed to pay every dollar of principal and interest.
A Victory Bond is an asset more readily converted into cash than any other security.
You can buy Victory Bonds for cash in a lump sum, or you can arrange to pay for them in convenient instalments over a period of six months.
Your Victory Bond salesman will be glad to tell you full particulars.

FIGURES DO NOT LIE
Democracy provides opportunity for all, in theory; but insurance figures give a different picture, These show that, of the average 100 men at 25 years of age, when 55 years is reached 20 have died, one is very rich, three are in good circumstances, 46 are still working and 30 are not self-support- ing. At 65 the figures are: 36 dead, one rich; four well-to-do; five self-sup- porting, 54 dependent.
Percentage figures of estimates show that one in a hundred dies rich, two well-to-do, 15 leave $2,000 to $10,000, 82 leave little or nothing,

TREATMENT OF SEED
When you are preparing your seed for this spring’s planting, it is wel! to remember that there are sume seed- borne diseases that you should not forget. The Alberta Advisory Commit- tee on the Control of Plant Diseases recommends that the organic mercury dusts, such as Ceresan and Leytosan, be used for the treatment of wheat, oats, barley and flax. This treatment should be given at least 24 hours be- fore the seed is sown, This Committee recommends further that formalde- hyde, if used at all, should be used to treat oats which are known to be smutty, and that its us2 on wheat and other hulless seeds should be re- stricted as much as possible,

Seed Treaiment
Two problems are important at this time of year:
1. Is seed treatment necessary?
2. What is the best treatment?
Unfortunately, direct answers to these questions are impossible. We can dispose of the second one fairly briefly, however. The following resolutions were agreed upon by plant pathologists from all three provinces at a meeting held in Olds, Alberta, last summer:
1. That the use of formaldehyde for the treatment of wheat and other hulless seeds be discouraged in every way possible.
2. That organic mercury dusts be recommended for the treatment of wheat, oats, barley and flax, and that treatment be at least 24 hours prior to seeding.
3. That if formaldehyde is used at all, it should be limited to the treatment of special lots of smutty hulled oats.
Now for question 2. Local authori- ties in Alberta advise treatment of all cereal seeds.
In Manitoba, farmers are advised to treat all flax and barley seed, using 144 ounces of mercury dust per bushel for flax and 1 ounce for barley. Of course smutty wheat and oats must be treated; but, in the absence of smut, we lack official advice.
In Saskatchewan we are told that “if seed is not known to be free from smut it should be treated.” The same authority, Dr. R. C. Russell continues: “Occasionally, however, when the seed coats are badly cracked or a high percentage pf the seeds carry a fungous parasite, which causes common root-rot, treatment with a mercurial dust may be beneficial.” (Italics ours).

GROW MORE POTATOES IN 1943
In spite of an excellent crop of po- tatoes last year in Alberta, we find ourselves becoming shorter of supplies each day, Markets for this crop have opened up from many directions, Last fall shipments moved to the West Coast due to the smaller cop in the coastal area and because of the re- luctance on the part of coast growers to sell at the established price, Con-
struction projects and the need of sup. plying food for an army has required even larger quantities of potatoes and other vegetables,
The present outlook would indicate that Alberta should triple its area of marketable potatoes and vegetables in 1943, To be able to do this, potato growers and others who wish to grow them should retain or provide them- selves immediately with stock suitable for seed,
It will require approximately 15 bu. shels to plant one acre, It is not ad- visable to save small potatoes for this purpose, because the crop produced is likely to have many below market size, The Netted Gem variety will pro- duce the most desirable market crop.

“What is needed is a national, de- velopment program which will make the best use of our existing assets, and restore or improve those facilities which we are over-working under the strain of war,” Mr. Cameron said. “We need programs which help to open up opportunities for productive inyestment as well as provide social benefits themselves.”
The post-war task must differ widely from projects of the depres-
sion years, he said. The program of |

For Recent Uprisings London.—Mohandas K. Gandhi and
the Indian Congress party under his|
leadership were charged by a British white paper with full responsibility for the recent Nationalist uprisings.
The white paper said Gandhi never believed that his @on-violence policy could defend India. It said after he proposed to resist Japan with non- violence, the Congress passed a reso- lution agreeing that Allied troops should be stationed in India as as- surance against attack.
The white paper, in effect, is an explanation of the government's rea- sons for imprisoning Gandhi at Poona. Gandhi recently completed a three- week fast which he began in an at- tempt to win release.

HARDSHIP OF FLYERS LOST IN THE ARCTIC
Airmen On Roscue Flight Spend Three Months In Solitudes Following Forced Landing
Christmas dinner of hard tack and brown bread in a little rubber dinghy tossing amid the ice cakes of a far northern sound, and New Year's cele- brated with blubber and seal meat in a native village hundreds of miles from civilization—that's part of the story told at Moncton, N.B., by Capt. Jimmy Wade, veteran Maritime Cen- tral Airways pilot.
Capt, Wade was on his way home to Charlottetown after he and a com- panion, Capt. John G. Moe of the United States Army, spent three months in the Arctic solitudes fol- lowing the forced landing of their twin-engined plane on soggy ice in @ remote region while on a mercy flight.
The pair spent five days in their dinghy picking their way through the grinding ice, and two more days in a snow igloo ashore before they were found by a party of natives.
Then they gradually worked their way toward civilization, stopping at two more tiny outposts before they reached a place where a plane could be sent in to pick them up.
The fliers set out from Charlotte- town last Dec. 16 in an attempt to rescue the injured crew of a United States Army Bomber. Their ski- equipped plane was fitted with an ex- tra gasoline tank to enable them to take a 1,400-mile non-stop flight.
Flying toward their destination by stages, they encountered bad weather on the night of Dec. 23 and were forced to land their craft on the ice of the distant sound. Their plane be- gan to sink through the slushy ice, and they had time only to launch their dinghy and load some food, clothing and necessary supplies in it.
In the morning, Capt. Wade re- lated, they saw thick, solid ice only 300 yards ahead of them, “where you could have landed any kind of plane.”
The shore of the Arctic sound was within plain sight as morning dawned, but it took five full days for the air- men to claw their way over the float- ing ice.
With their rations almost gone, and tired and exhausted, they finally made the shore. They couldn’t find a place to build a shelter the first night, so dug into the snow and hud- dled in one sleeping bag.
When daylight came they built a rude igloo of snow, and warmed themselves by a small gas stove they had salvaged from the plane. They would sleep a. few hours and then walk around to keep warm.
On the third day the natives came. They: took the fliers by dog team to their village, 35 miles away, and the beginning of their trek to civilization.
“It wasn’t a happy holiday sea- son,” said Wade reminiscently, “but it could have been worse.”
Great Improvement Great Russian Dancer’s Manager Knew How To Handle Her
On the eve of her American debut Pavlowa got temperamental, stalked off the rehearsal stage and screamed, “I hate it-here! I won't dance here! When is the next boat back to Rus- sia?” Her manager, the late Charles Dillingham, the only person who could pacify her, threw his arms about her: “My little Russian pigeon, who is abusing you? Tell me and Tl kill him!”
Pavlowa pointed to a fountain that stood in the centre of the stage as part of a garden setting and said, “The water—it makes too much noise!"
Unhesitatingly, Dillingham turned to the stagehands, first winked at them and then yelled: “You stupid imbeciles, didn’t I tell you to use SOFT water in the fountain?” For about a half-hour the stagehands made a great to-do about changing the pipes, then turned the water on again. The great dancer listened a minute and then, making a graceful pirouette around the fountain, smiled: “Yes! That is so much better!”
RATIONS
Of course we don’t butter both sides of our bread; It’s true that we spread it out thin. We think of the millions who have to be fed; We cheerfully ration and grin, We DON’T act like children just cry- ing for sweets, Nor sulk when we can't get enough; We do without lots of our easy time treats; We realize war times are TOUGH. So, now when the men who know better than we, Must ration tea, butter or beer; We'll think of the needs of those far o'er the sea, And help to fight famine and fear. — GEORGE A.

One Foodless Day ‘
Does Not Bother Animals In The
New York Zoo
War has brought not only less meat and substitute meats to animals in New York City’s zoo, but it has also resulted in a ‘foodless day” each week.
Dr. Harry F. Nimphius, zoo die- tician, said the beasts adjusted them- selves so quickly to “foodless Sun-
days” that they no longer look for
the meat wagon.
Lions, for instance, now get horse meat instead of beef—and_ three pounds less per day than heretofore. Dr. Nymphius compounded a meat substitute chow consisting of car- rots, beets, white bread, cod liver oil and a soup-con of raw horse meat. The animals thrive on it.
“They worry less, as a matter of fact,” said Dr. Nymphius, “about the diminishing amount of red meat from their diets than do some other ani- mals I know.”
MAIL FOR PRISONERS
Washington.—The American Red Cross said the Japanese government has reported distribution of 230,000 letters from home to United Nations prisoners of war during 1942. The Japanese said they now are distri- buting the bulk of mail received for prisoners, the Red Cross said.

It was the Autumn of 1918, just at dusk and a man known as Smith —just John Smith, was strolling the grounds of the County Asylum at Melbridge, England.
His thoughts were rapid, Kaleido- scopic and it bothered him that in Speech he could only manage jerky, disjointed phrases. His eyes filled. It hurt.not to be able to talk prop- erly. Wisps of memory bothered his amnesia clouded mind. His last recol- lection went back only to the Autumn of 1917 when he had awakened in a German hospital . , . then been trans- ferred to England as an exchange prisoner. Who was he? Where had he come from? The questions hung in space, unanswered.
A guard suddenly spoke out of the fog, pleasantly chided him for being out in such weather.
Smith said, “I’m all right. Coat’s very warm. I like to walk... like to walk.” His accomplishment of | speech sent a warm glow over him. He walked on in the swirling mist with a shade more confidence.
Over in the town of Melbridge, the half-hearted gloom of day had set- tled into darkness. Melbridge’s | grimy factories had released their}
=|toilers for the evening and about now
the pubs would be alive with discus- | sion of the war. How soon would England beat the Heinies? Could the war really be ended in 1918 as some predicted? Endlessly, the questions | and answers would go the rounds again, not only in Melbridge but all over England.
Smith, however, wasn’t concerned with these queries. Always, his mind was occupied with but one idea . .. . to pierce beyond his mental nothingness . . . to learn the mystery of his blanked out past.
All at once, a siren screamed through the silence. It soared up and down in wild flurries. Another joined in, then several more. The noise mounted in a crazy delirium of sound. Smith was rooted to the ground with fear. There were sirens, bells and whistles. Then he heard voices calling to each other joyously. “The Armistice! It’s peace! The war's over... .”
It didn’t fill Smith with elation. Somehow, the news seemed unrelated to him. But suddenly he looked ahead. The wide grilled gates were open. In the excitement they'd been left ungarded. Fearfully, he walked toward them. Then, without think- ing he broke into a run. Not until he reached Melbridge, seething with celebrating humanity, did he slow down to a walk. Impulsively he stepped into a tobacconist’s shop to ask for cigarettes.
Strange, the sharp eyed propriet- ress was taking quite a time about it.
Suddenly, a low, musical voice said, “You're from the Asylum aren’t you?”
Nervously, he swung around. A young girl with coppery hair and warm eyes was watching him. She looked what she was, a pretty little actress in a third rate touring com- pany. Yet somehow, she was dis- tinctive.
“Yes. Yes I am. But I'm all right... really...”
The girl nodded but now her voice was urgent. “Well, she’s gone
She's tell- ing them to come for you, You'd bet- ter hurry along with me.”
It was queer how quickly things happened after that ... Smith at the Melbridge Arms pub, having a brandy and soda with this girl, Paula Ridgeway, being introduced to her friends then later hearing her back- stage at the theatre as she did her singing turn. There wasn’t much to remember after that because he became feverish and chilled at the} same time. He recalled Paula bend- ing over him, looking so concerned, . .
It was days later that he came to his senses again, to learn that he'd been quite ill with the ‘flu. Then Paula told him wonderful news. She'd taken quite a fancy to him and wasn't going to let him be sent back to the Asylum, Instead, Sam, the manager of the troupe, was giving
|
him a job travelling with them, Everything would be fine. In the next day, Smith tried to
absorb this miracle along with re- turning health. It was over. The dark past was gone. No longer |}would he be a strange, floating bit of driftwood on the stream of life. He was an individual now. He was a | person.

|shakily to his feet.
Towards the end of the show that night Paula ran in. “Oh,” she beamed, “good boy. I see you're all packed. So am I. Our train leaves at one.”
A sudden qualm beset him, “Paula +» you're sure I can be useful...
that your manager isn’t taking me or . . Just because you asked him 0?”
She looked at this man who needed her so pitifully, Without warning he had stolen into her heart. He must be saved. He was too good a person to remain as debris of the war.
Bright tears stood in her eyes. “Good gracious Smithy you don't know Sam, He's hard as nails. No, you can take my word for it. He thinks you have something and the whole thing was his idea.”
His smile flickered. “I can’t tell you what it means Paula... to be someone again... to be wanted. It’s all your doing.”
He was sitting there in quiet con- tentment when she returned at twelve thirty. He started up eagerly. Then the grave expresion of her
face stopped him. “Nothing... wrong, is there?”
She sat down and her voice trembled. “I've got to talk to you
Smithy.” She steadied herse!f al- most to curtness. “I won't beat about the bush. Sam won't take you now.”
A man from the Asylum had come into the bar a while ago and told everyone about Smithy’s escape. Sam knew now ... he thought it was too risky taking him. “Smithy,” she pleaded, “I think he’s right.” That returning fear in his eyes stabbed right through her. “Perhaps you should go back. You need care. You need doctors that understand your case .. .’’ Her voice trailed off. She had seen a dog look like that, a dog whose master had _ unexpectedly struck him.
Slowly, he nodded. He was humble and crushed again. The wide Asylum doors were swinging open and he must accept the decree that con-
|demned him there.
She burst out, “Smithy, you’re not angry with me? You don’t think I've gone back on you?” His an- guished eyes implored her not to torment him more. “Speak to me Smithy,” she cried. “You could al- ways speak to me.”’ She clutched his hand but he pulled away and rose
In sudden decision she went to the door. Her voice was level. “Wait for me Smithy.” A_ short interval later she returned, her bags in her hands. “Come on Smithy. Get your coat on. We'll take the back stairs.”
The pub below was dimly lighted and clouded with smoke. Thay crept past it stealthily. Smith was dazed, hardly knowing what he was doing or where he was going. But at least he was with Paula, A little later they were seated in a third class compart- ment of a train bound for the coun- try, just beyond Melbridge. It was almost dawn when they reached Mrs. Deventer’s rustic inn at Wickham, Paula had stopped there once with
her father a long time ago and re-| _
membered the place fondly.
It was simple enough, explaining to the kindly Mrs, Deventer that Smithy was her fiance and that she had brought him here after a long illness, so that he might convalesce.
And so it was, in the dawn of that lovely morning that they took up their new rural existence. Paula's} meager savings would be enough to} skim through on for a while. After) that? Well, no need to worry now.

Told By China’s First Lady It Has | Good Moral
Mme. Chiang told an anecdote full
of rich Oriental flavor the other day | in Washington. About 2,000 years ago, she said, there was a young
Buddhist monk who sat cross-legged outside the temple, his hands clasped, chanting day after day, Buddha,” because he hoped that he would thus acquire grace. At length, the old Father Prior of the temple ;came up, himself the | monk, and began rubbing a piece of brick against a stone, jon day after day. the
“Amita- |

This, too, went
| At length, acolyte could re
"|strain his curiosity no longer, and
}asked the Prior what he was doing. “I am trying to make a mirror out | of this brick,” the old replied |“*But,” said the monk, “it is impos- | sible to make a mirror out of a brick,
man
|Father Prior.” “Yes,” replied the | other, “and it is just as impossible for | |/you to acquire grace by doing noth-
ing except chant ‘Amita-Buddha’ all
day long day in and day out.”
The moral? There are several pos
| sibilities, But in the rich American | idiom, it might be this: You can’t win a war by sitting on your hands,” St. Louis Post-Dispatch, |

a BRITISH AGRICULTURE IS WORKING EFFICIENTLY
Robert S. Hudson, minister of agri- culture in Great Britain, recently said that on a “per man unit” basis, that country is producing three times as much food as the Germans and sub- stantially more than the Americans.
However the shipping position is more serious than ever before and Bri- tain must supply still more of her re- quirements domestically, Hudson said: “We must secure the greatest possible orea under crops—especially the crops for direct human consumption—and plow up still more of our permanent grass to balance the area reseeded.”
Bread, he said, would still be mad mainly from wheat flour, and he point- ed out that wheat had disappeared completely from German bread since February Ist,

BRITAIN’S TABLE
I, the United Kingdom, millions of brave men, women and children look to Canada’s farms for their daily food.
Canadian farmers, who have never failed in times of peace to produce and export the needed table supplies, now are in- tensifying their efforts to feed the people
and armies of Britain.
On Canada’s broad acres farmers are
fighting a great battle of production so that Britain shall not lack the grains,
meats, fruits, vegetables and dairy pto- ducts essential to vi ictory.
The Bank of Montreal's complete war- time banking service is extended to Canada’s farmers through hundreds of branches from coast to coast. Our export department is daily financing shipments of foodstuffs for Britain,
