Unheard of by his family, here, for the past three weeks, John A. Charlebois of Alexaidria, has been re- ported missing and local officials fear he may have met death by ex- posure in the bitter sub-zero weather of Saturday, January 19th, the last date on which he was seen. His wife and family have appealed for any information which may lead to de- finite word of his fate.

Know widely in this district as a clerk in Ostrom’s Drug Store for some twenty-seven years, Mr Charlebois had been local issuer of automobile licen- ses until a few months ago, since which time he had been employed with Alex- andria Wood Products. An investiga- tion conducted by Provincial Consta- ble W. Ellett of Alexandria, disclosed that he had been at work Saturday morning arid was last definitely re- ported seen on the 10th concession road south of Glen Robertson early that evening. The bitterly cold wea- her of that night has lead to the fear that Mr. Charlebois may have died of exposure in that area.

An organized search for the missing man was delayed by unsubstantiated,, reports that he had been seen in Alex-, andria the following week but officials are now planning a thorough search of the ,10th concession area as soon as weather conditions permit. On Wed- nesday, Contstable Ellett was out with a snowplough* in an unsuc- cessful search of the road sides.

Forty-five years old, Mr! Charlebois, when last seen was wearing a blue Mackinaw coat,, gray work pants, black shoes and rubbers, and brown '• mitts. Any information concerning him should be reported at onc,e to Con- stable Ellett, at Alexandria

To Turn The Tide Dates, radio and movie thrills, or-

chestra leaders, foorball and basketball scores, rum cokes, difficult parents and teachers, impossible younger brothers

and sisters, the dullness of home— these are what the average teen-ager think about all day. What we think about all day is our philosophy of life

Boiled down, this teen-age philoso- phy is to have fun in life. They like the dirt and danger of the world, and the only thing they see; to fight for is freedom from parents, teachers, preach ers and other “old-fashioned” res- traints.

fn “old-fashioned” days this would have been called the philosophy of a "lost generation” and a “toboggan slide to hell.” It is still all of that. But to- day it is also thé philosophy of a “lost democracy” for there are malignant anti-democratic forces on the prowl for personal or party power. All they have to do to get control of today’s young- sters and tomorrow’s world is to keep kid’s minds on sex, sport and trivialit- ies; continue to divide them from their parents and responsibilities; promise all the “liberties” they want.

Today, however, there is also another gang of youngsters in the fiéld. They still think of dates but of What they can give to a girl friend, or boy friend, not what they can get. They still think of movies but of pictures that show our homes and country as they can be—clean, strong, united. They still like music but music sets you on your way, not the kind that “sends” you. They still fgor gor sport but go out for the game and not the box score.

They still think home can be dull but if it is they see what they can do to liven it up. They get all the family 1

having fun as they pull together for a goal much bigger than it ever could be if all were thinking of themselves alone. They still think parents, sisters and brothers, teachers and preachers can be difficult but know that they can change them if they start, by be- ing less difficult themselves.

Their philosophy is that: “We want, a different world and, if the only way to get it tis for us to be different first we’re going to be different starting now.” This gang may well change the moral climate of the world, especially if you go out to help them. But it’s a matter for infection, not correction. We can turn the tide of thinking and give new direction to our youngsters, but only if we find and follow new direc- tion in our own lives.

TIME BOMBS It is not so important which men

control industry as which ideas con- trol the men.

Lose the sense of right and wrong and We lose all sense.

A man can make money but money can’t make the man.

There is no “I” in it if you really know how to spell “DEMOCRACY.”

We stand on the threshold of a new age. But will it be God’s idea of a new age or an age of some other kind?

Unless you and I are different, where’s a different world to come from?

The strongest bridge to other people can be built with “beams” from your own eyes.

“Stop your jeering at once!” he or- dered

His unsmiling eyes were met with additional smirks.

; ‘Stop your scoffing,” he repeated, “or be ready to take the consequen- ces.”

“Okay, Bub”, taunted the more fla- grant of the two criminals, “take off that robe.”

j ’Don’t let the robe bother you,” Fa- ther Weir replied, “I takeit off for no man.”

Every word of the priest seemed to hang in thf air. His face, livid with righteous indignation and determina- tion, might have been carved from stone.

i “I’ll take you and your troublemak- ing pal, notwithstanding the rboe,” he continued. “I’ll take you—or any 01 her two who think they’re strong enough!”

| His glance swept the room. The fea- tures of the inmates who had joined his class through a sincere desire to

| learn, glowed with admiration and res- pect. The wise-cracking hecklers, ta- ken completely by surprise, at - the quick acceptance of their offer, backed down. Their smirks and jeers stop- ped. Their eyes now downcast, they remained silent and made no move to get up and fight it out.

There had been no doubt in their minds as to the ableness of Father Weir’s physical strength. One look at his tall, straight body, topped by a pair of “football” shoulders, and his strong, clenched fists provided ample proof of that. They had not figured he would use ethat strength. They reckoned without his indomintable spirit — the “toughness” of the man beneath the robe .

Father Weir was ordained a Fran- ciscan monk in 1920, serving his first year in an institution for the mentally ill, aftèr which he was appointed to ^he post of assistant pastor at St. Joseph’s in Cleveland, Ohi.o

Then, as he jokingly explains. “Af- ter five years at St. Joseph’s, I was sent to jail, for it was in 1926 that I was appointed chaplain at Joliet. The first thing I though of when I was given this assignment, was my mo- ther’s frequent warning, “Some day, my boy, your temper is going to put you behind the bars”.

Despite his jesting. Father Weir had .wanted the post and was glad that he ■had been singled out for it ■without ap- plication. He wants no other parish and readily admits a genuine fondness for his flock.

j Father Weir previously taught re- ligion and philosophy at St. Francis College in Joliet where sometimes, car- jried away in a burst of eloquence, he forgot his audience and spoke in pri- son yard lingo to the complete stupefi- cation of the nuns.

He managed, in addition to dividing his time between the penitentiary and the college, to author two successful books, the first on the relation of crime to religion; the second, Crimin- ology, which is widley used as a text- book among students of crime and criminals.

Father Weir will tell you there are no tough men in prison.

“No they are humble, docile, obedi- ent—sometimes servile—men,” he de- clares, “but they are not tough. They may have been tough before they came to prison — but only with a gang of their own kind.”

NEW YORK, Jan., 29.—The trans- continental flight record was shat- tered Saturday by three United States Army jet-propelled planes, which streaked from Long Beach, Calif., to LaGuardia Field at speeds approach- ing that of sound.

All three planes were Lockheed P-80 pursuit ships. The one piloted by Col. William H. Councill, flight test official from Wright Field, O., flew non-stop and covered the 2,470 miles In four hours, 13 minutes, 26 seconds —584 62 miles an hour. Two others stopped at Topeka, Kan., for refuel- ing.

The previous trans-continental flight recetd, 2,464 miles from Burbank, Calif, to Floyd Bennett Field, Brook- lyn, in five hours and 27 minutes, was established last Dec 11 with a Boeing B29 bomber.

Even the two pilots who stopped for fuel at Topeka beat the old record by comportable margins. Capt Martin C. Smith of Kidder, M.O. another army test Pilot from Wright Field, covered the distance in four hours 33 minutes and 25 seconds, and Capt John S. Babel a fighter pilot of the 412th jet-propel- led figher group at March Field, River side, Calif made it in four hours 23 minutes and 54 seconds.

Babel, who stopped four minutes at Topeka, made an average speed of 561 jailes an hour. Smith stopped six min-

Perhaps, without exception, each (and that Includes the sixty that daily seek private Interviews with him; those to whom he lends books, and those for whom he does many favors) will tell you that there is one tough man inthe prison. One very tough guy. And that’s Father Eligius Weir him- self.

Scientist Claims Real Cure for Common Cold

People who say that the wonders of nature never cease, will find their beliefs confirmed by the recent news that a substance which nature in- tended for live-giving purposes is now being used by a modern science as a “killer.”

This material, known as chloro- phyll, and dubbed “life’s greatest or- ganic element,” is the green color ing matter of leaves and it derives its name from two Greek words, chloron, meaning green, and phylon, meaning leaf. Chlorophyll is univer- sally present in all growing vegeta ble cells and makes plants green.

Strange as it sounds this same chlorophyll is now being used in the fight against human infection; whai is more, according to the recent re port of 18 Philadelphia physicians who have been working with this vi- tal substance for some time, it look? as if this coloring matter would be able, at last, to end a disease from which practically no one in the world is immune—the common cold.

Dr. Benjamin Gruskin, director ot the department of experimental pa thology and oncology at Temple uni versity in Philadelphia, discovereo the new and important formula thaï uses chlorophyll. He explained it to. a number of other physicians and together thçy experimented witfi 12,- 000 cases of infection, ranging frou. common colds to pyorrhea (infec- tion of the gums) and peritonitis (infection of the abdomen). In every one of these cases, after a solution of chlorophyll in salt water had been applied for certain specified periods and in certain ways, there were “encouraging results.”

Dr. Gruskin proceeded on the way to his discovery of the good quali- ties of chlorophyll by studying close- ly the modern fight against infection and the work of the great modern scientists like Koch, Pasteur, Klebs and Loeffler. As a result of their work, the fight against infection has been divided into two parts:, 1—an- tisepsis or the use of a disinfectant to destroy the injurious bacteria by chemical means; and 2—immuniza- tion, which means the building up of resistance against infection by stim- ulating the antitoxins in the body or by neutralizing the poisonous prod- ucts of the bacteria.

T«n Year Building Peak Reached in U. S. Cities

N«w horn* construction in US loading American cities in 1989 to- taled the highest in value and vol- ume in 10 years, according to ihe an- nual national home building surrey of Investors Syndicate recently made public. «

“Volume of new homes last year was more than 10 times (10.4) the 1934 total, the low for the decade," explained C. J. Ryan of the com- pany.

“Value of these new residences was almost 10 times (9.8) the low total hit in 1934.”

Contributing substantially to these record breaking figures was the smallness of the advance, only four- fifths of 1 per cent, in average cost per person provided with new hous- ing over the preceding year.

“Rapidity of residential construc- tion last year, the fifth successive year to record gains, is empha- sized,” said Ryan, “by the fact that both value and volume increase were the largest year to year rise during the decade. .

The cities included in the survey, located in 41 states and the District of Columbia, have a population, ac- cording to the 1940 preliminary esti- mate of the United States bureau of census, of 49,134,705, or 37.4 per cent of the population of the United States.

This group includes the 92 cities with a population of 100,000 or more.

New home building in these 310 American cities in 1939 provided housing for 867,664 people.

This was a gain of 202,032 people, 1

or 30.4 per cont, over the 665,632 newly housed to these same cities in 1938.

New residential construction last year in these same cities provided for 67.1 per cent more people than to 1930, when only 519,192 were new- ly sheltered.

New Method of Purifying Oil Exhibited on Coast

A new method of purifying oil in a gasoline motor has been perfected by Judd H. Brubaker of Los An- geles. The device, it is claimed, mixes water with gasoline and feeds it to the motor, resulting in the de- struction of the sediments formed by sulphuric acid before they reach the crankcase.

“The process is simple,” said Bru- baker, “and can be adapted to any motor.” The attachment consists of an S-shaped pipe with a bowl fas- tened to its side like a carburetor float. The bowl is connected to a tank containing water. The water is fed to the motor through a tube in the bowl. 6

In the line is a set needle that “regulates the flow of water.” When the motor is idling the flow of water is stopped, eliminating any chance of rust forming in the cylinders. As the throttle is opened the air current speeds up and draws the water through the tube from the bowl. The water breaks up in the pipe just as the gasoline does and together they go into the combustion chamber where the water is turned to steam, joins the chemical action of the burning fuel, and is taken out through the exhaust.”

Plane Flights Aid in Fight Against Hay Fever

Medical science tpok to the na- tion’s airways in 1940 on behalf of 4,000,000 Americans suffering from hay fever.

Transport planes participated in • coast-to-coast series of experiments, each carrying oil-smeared slides at altitudes ranging to 12,000 feet. The surveys were sponsored separately by Oren C. Dunham, a Chicago bot- anist, and the Hollister-Stier labora- tories of Spokane, Wash.

If successful, the studies may pro- vide the medical profession with one of its major achievements in the dogged battle against pollinosis. The full story of the experiments may emerge at winter medical meetings.

By studying the course and ex- tent of wind-blown pollen migration, the investigators hoped to obtain additional data for the desensitiza- tion treatment of pollinosis victims. The treatment begins with injections of pollen extracts until the allergy hi determined.

| For a number of years, however, it had been recognized that hay fe- ver In many instances could be traced to pollen from a plant not found in the victim’s community. In these cases, the value of an index to local plants and hay fever prev- alence was restricted.

Crucifixion Date of Christ At last we know definitely that

Christ was crucified on April 7, 30 A. D., A. T. Olmstead, professor of oriental history, University of Chi- cago, said recently. This would make Him only 30 years old at the time—if our calendar begins with His birth. But the Saviour was not that young. He was really in His late forties because the same new knowledge which has accurately dated the Crucifixion reveals that the Christian calendar, supposed to begin with the birth of Christ, starts some 15 to 18 years too late. In other words, we are living not in the year of Our Lord 1941, but some- where around 1959.

Into His Hands! à

When in your hard fight, to your tiresome drudgery, or in your ter- rible temptation you catch the pur- pose of your being and give yourself to God, and so give Him the chance to give Himself to you, your life, a living stone, is taken up and set into the growing wall . . . Wher- ever souls are being tried and rip- ened, in whatever commonplace and homely ways, there God is hew- ing out the pillars for His temple. Oh, if the stone can only have some vision of the temple of which it is to Ue a part forever! What patience must fill it as it feels the blows of the hammer and knows that suc- cess for it is simply to let itself be wrought into what shape the Master wills!—Phillips Brooks.

For Lazy Smokers Smokers who are too lazy to light

their own cigarettes will be pleased to hear they can now pick out a cigarette, already lighted, from a combination box and lighter that is plugged into the living room lamp. If you haven’t been reading recent electric iron advertisements it is pos- sible you haven’t yet heard of a fast-heating iron which before being used is dialed to give exactly the right amount of heat for the fabric to be ironed. In short, you can place the lever in line with the word “lin- en,” “cotton,” “wool,” “silk” or “rayon.”

Drunken Drivers Increase According to the safety council’s

statistics, the number of drunkeji drivers involved in fatal accidents throughout the country increased from 7 per cent in 1933 to 11 per cent in 1939. And the number of drinking pedestrians in such acci- dents increased from 8 per cent in 1933 to 15 per cent in 1939. The council’s report also shows: In one of every five fatal accidents in 1939, idriver or pedestrian had been drink- tog. One in seven pedestrians and one in nine drivers involved in fa- tal accidents had been drinking. One to three fatal accidents at night in- volved drinking by driver or pe- destrian.

Storing Dishes The natural way for a right-hand-

ed person to wash dishes is from right to left—stacking the dishes on the right, and putting them to drain at the left. So the logical place to store dishes used most often is neai the place where they are dried, in this case above the left drainboard Such dishes include cereal and sauce dishes, cups, saucers, plates, and platters. The logical place to store everyday silverware and dish towels is in drawers below this irainboard.

Cunningham Comet Hubert O. Jenkins, instructor in

physics and astronomy at the Sac- ramento Junior college, says the Cunningham comet was discovered by Leland Cunningham on Septem-

i ber 5, 1940. It became barely vis- j ible to the naked eye as it passed : the constellation Lyra the latter

part of November, and grew larger as it traveled south through the con- stellation Aquila, but was difficult to see sine* it was nearing the hori- zon where haze and the sun’s rays interfered. It reached perihelion (ita point nearest the sun) on about January 20 but could be seen hero. Those to the southern hemisphere will have • botter chance to observe

Government Studies Fit Of Children’s Clothes

Children, hereafter, will wear clothes that fit them, if the U. S. government has anything to say about it. Until now manufacturers didn’t use patterns that were accu- rate. aside from skimping on materi- als As a result the outfits they turned out were either too big or too small for the boys and girls they were supposed to fit.

But Uncle Sam has corrected all this. With the aid of manufactur- ers, state universities and other agencies, the government recently completed the measurements of more than 100,000 children to find out just what a dress or a pair of pants for a certain age should be in terms of length and breadth.

These officials measured the youngsters from all describable an- gles and from all this laborious work arrived at a set of standards that should make things easier for fa- thers and mothers who have to buy children’s clothes. The survey was conducted in eight states, with about 12,000 youngsters scaled in each of these states.

The measurements have been filed away in the bureau of economics, a branch of the department of agri- culture and are now available to manufacturers who are willing to co-operate with the gooernment in seeing that American children are dressed with the right fitting clothes.

Some Types of ‘Safe’ Driving Offer Dangers, He Claims,

A safe driver is one who obeys all the traffic rules and regulations. This is the belief of all motorists. Sut along comes Jimmy Lynch', daredevil stunt driver, and dispels this belief. His theory is that the motorist who obeys “all safety measure^” is on many occasions a menace’ to himself and to others on the highways;'

Motorists jam on the brakes when a tire blows out. Lynch says a driver loses control of his car mo- mentarily and an accident is likely to follow. The correct thin£ to do,, according to Lynch, is to increase the speed of the car about five miles, thus bringing the car under control. Then the brakes should be applied gradually.

Lynch also upsets the belief that es* Should put his best tires on the îront wheels. He believes, he says, from experience, that there is more danger when a rear tire blows out. The best way to come to a fast stop is to brake slowly several times in- stead of jamming on the brakes for a sudden stop.

He also holds a contrary opinion to that of most authorities regarding

Poor Sunglasses Cause Eye Strain, Astigmatism

Last summer a fad of wearing col- ored glasses was created by movie stars and other prominent persons who got behind the smoked glasses at first to hide, and then continued to wear them because of the air of mysterious glamour they afforded. The more hideous and streamlined were the blinders, the smarter they were considered, and many girls had different colored ones to match their wardrobes.

Inferior quality sun glasses, made from celluloid, poor blown or pressed glass, will add irregular as- tigmatism, myopia, hyperopia, or prismatic imabalance to the refrac- tive mechanism. Consequently, they only increase the strain produced by the glare. The best advice to give on this score is: Buy your sun glasses from a reputable source and insist upon good quality, ground and polished protection lenses, and, if necessary, ground with your correct prescription. ’ \ V

Some advice which may save you trouble is that sun glasses are de- signed for day wear and should not be worn for night driving, as they lower visibility too much. As yet, no glass has been made which will overcome the glare of auto head- lights and still be safe.

tween 50 and 60 tons of tin, and government geologists are reported to have found new fields of the ore in Arctic Alaska, Jack Underwood, manager of the Wa§liingtori, p. C., bureau of the Sèattîi Chamber pf Commerce, announced recently.

1 The known fields are being sur- veyed thoroughly and if the deposits are èxtënsive enough a tin smelter plant may be erected in the Puget sound country. Miners have known of the existence of tin in Alaska for years, but since they were looking for gold, they didn’t bother with it Practically all of Alaska’s tin ore is being produced ' at Tin City, in the» Cape Prince of Wales area.

Underwood reports that a big force of government geologists is making a complete survey of Alas- ka’s strategic mineral resources, with the hope of also finding chrome, which now comes from West Africa, and manganese, im- ported largely from Russia and Bra- zil.

Shelter Belt Tree Planting In the prairie states shelter belt,

tije greatest United States tree planting job has started out with the setting out of an additional 35,000,- 000 trees.

In six years, approximately 200,- 000,000 trees will have been plant- ed in this six-state project—from Texas to Canada—to create a nat- ural barrier against the strong winds, hot and cold, that blow across the plains.

The trees have been planted in strips, which, if placed end to end, would reach 16,600 miles. They pro- tect 27,930 farms.

This six-year accomplishment is but a scratch on the surface of the tree-planting job the United States department of agriculture recom- mends.

At least 2,500,000,000 additional trees are needed solely for protec- tion purposes, department officials say.

reduced the tetanus death rate to 29 per cent as contrasted with the usual 50 to 70 per cent has been an- nounced by Dr. Wyman L. Vener and Dr. Albert G. Bower of Los An- geles. The deatlj rajte was only 19.3 per cent for patients who survived the first 24 hours in the hospital, Dr Vener said. Each tetanus patient is regarded as a surgical emergen- cy, he declared, and regardless of the mildness of symptoms, immedi- ate action is taken. “The prime object in the management of tetanus is to administer a minimum dose of 200,000 units of antitoxin in a def- inite period of 24 to 36 hours,” he said.

‘Borax Line’ Ends Abandonment of the Tonopah and

Tidewater railroad has been an- nounced. It was known as the famous “Death Valley’s ‘Borax Line’ ” since the 20-mule-team days. Permission for giving up the “ghost” of the once-a-week mixed train serv- ice on 169 miles of track from Cru- cero, Calif., to Beatty, Nev., was granted under a railroad commis- sion order. Since “borax” ship- ments stopped 12 years ago, the rail- road has been pared to a skeleton system. The road had a payroll ot 40 employees, with only 778 persoos living in the strip 10 miles on eimej side of the line.

A plump chicken, roasted to a turn, lends a party, touch to dinner hour, whether it be a simple family affair or in honour of guests. Your choice of a bird - I or your warnings to the carver- should allow sufficient for Tuesday. If the weather man dictates an all-round hot meal, the left-over chicken can be diced into a. casserole, blanketed with a good sauce, and given a frill of mashed white or sweet potato. Beef round ( or flank cooked into a succulent Swiss Steak is Mon- day's suggestion. On Wednesday barbecued short ribs of beef will provide a cheery meal for a chilly j day. Thursday's lamb chops will give a bit of change to the beef-eating characteristic of this season. Fish for Friday is a foregone conclusion. Boiling or oven-} poaching your selection is a means of saving your, precious fat, and a parsley sauce served with it will make it doubly nutritious. A topsy turvy meat pie is a quick trick for Saturday, and one which will ’e*-, tend a pound of meat for an extra mouth or two. It is

’made by lightly browning the minced beef, seasoning It suitably, and adding a tin of condensed tomato <*] vegetable soup diluted with half a cup of water. Then cover with biscuit dough, bake in a hot oven about 20 minutes, and turn upside down on serving platter, x With winter weather calling for warming foods,

dno of your coupons could be spent on a beef shank, which in turn will provide a hearty vegetable soup. Meat from the bone will help solve luncheon prob- lems, whether they be sandwiches carried to school or work, or hot meals eaten at home. The remaining four tokens of your week's ration could be carried over to a roast day. Or the family might welcom*

EARLV in the war, a shipment of seven carloads was sent from the

Canadian Car Mumtions, Montreal, to the Western Cartridge Company, East Alton, 111., by Canadian Na- tional Express. To aU who saw the seven trains pass by, there was nothing unusual about them. Yet, high-ranking officers, the only G.N. Express men who knew what tne contents were, couldn’t sleep until each car had reached its destination. Until now it was a secret. It was dry lead azide—the most dangerous ship- ment ever handled by the Canadian National Express. The explosive, of Which few persons have heard, is nmre potent than nitro-glycerine and five times as sensitive as TNT. A small one-and-a-half-inch shellac-coated, papier-maché tube five inches long containing eight ounces of azide was set in a sunlower-shaped centre of sponge rubber and placed in an eight- inch square wooden box, with cotton wadding, sponge rubber and felt

set in/the centre of a quarter-inch- j thick steel case twenty inches square, i cushioned with dry sawdust between1

layers of sponge rubber. The lid of the steel box was securely held by ten bolts and had two grab-iron handles for carrying. The total shipment of 70 pounds was enough for 200,000 25-pounder shells. The photograph shows the engine and two express cars of one of the trains crossing a bridge. The first car carries ten pounds of dry lead azide and the second a capacity load of 85,000 pounds of ordinary mer- chandise. The drawing indicates how the twenty cases, each containing eight ounces of tne explosive, were placed and bolted to the floor of th* car. This was the first and only shipment of dry lead azide by r»a known. It is normally manufactured at the munitions plants where the i shells are made. In this instance, had i not the Canadian National Exprès* j nos tne t^anaaian iJini/ivu»* handled the shipment, the products of shells would hiv# been delayed far months

TORONTO, Feb. 5.— Even if ship- ments to Great Britain were reduced Canada would not have enough hogs to meet 1946 domestic requirements, H. N. M. Morrison, of Barrie, Ont., president of. the Industrial and Devel- opment Council of the. Canadian Meat Packers’ Association, said last night.

Speaking , at a dinner meeting of the Ontario Swine Breeders’ Association, he said pre-war Canadian hog consump- tmo was 49,000 a week. Under strict ration and quota systems it increased to 50,000 a week in 1944-45.

! Britain, he said, needed at least. 400,000,000 pounds of bacon in 1946.

, Tremendous Shortage I . "You will realize at once what a tremendous shortage of hogs there will be for the domestic market this com- ing year with approximately 33,000 hogs a week in sight at the moment.

“Whether we starve the domestic market to the point of 33,000' a week and export our commitment of 450,- 000,000 pounds or whether we reduce shipments to Great Britain and con- tinue to consume meat here, we would still be at least 2,000,000 hogs short oi requirements for the two markets this year.”

Mr. Morrison said it was possible the west, especially Alberta, soon might re- turn to hog production. Swine breeders in Canada might soon develop a dis- tinctively Canadian hog, he added.

At the same dinner Ontario Afri- culture Minister T-. L. Kennedy an- nounced that W. P. Watson, of Tor- onto, secretary-tresaurer of the On- tario Large Yorkshire Association, will go to Mexico next month to study the possibility of developing a Canadian market there.

I Live stock breeders today enter the second day of a five-day series of meet- ings of Canadian and Ontario "organi- zatios to discuss breeding and devel- opment of cattle, pigs, swine and hor- smes. Eleven meetings are scheduled for today.

Many Eggs Lost Between Nest and Breakfast Table

About 5 per cent of all eggs pro- duced are lost between the nest and the breakfast table and poul- try men say that a large portion of this loss can be prevented if cock- erels are not kept with the laying flocks and only infertile eggs are produced.

The germ in' a fertile egg begins developing when a temperature of 70 degrees is reached. Therefore, many of the surplus spring eggs are dam- age^ 'by heat while they are kept at home or while they are in trade channels. Other causes of loss be- tween the nest and the table include blood spots, blopdy whites, cracks and dirt on eggs.

When eggs are dirty, bacteria and mold easily enter the egg through

I thin spots ip the shell. Eggs should j never be washed except when ready for immediate consumption. As to the keeping quality of eggs, clean eggs keep much better than “cleaned” eggs. If dirty eggs are to be cleaned, dry clean with emery cloth, sand paper or steel wool.

Rose Oil Essentia] oils may be defined as

those having an . odor and are ob- tained almost exclusively from vege- table sources. Such an oil is “attar” or “otto” of roses commonly called

■ rose oil. For many years the pro- ' duction of rose ,,011 has been a , European industry. Formerly used

on a small scale in medicine, it now is used almost entirely as a base for perfumes and cosmetics. The species of roses which have been used for years for attar production in Europe are Rosa damascena (the Damask rose) and Rosa centifolia (the Cabbage rose). Such garden roses as Talisman, Condesa de Ses- tago, Briarcliff, Radiance, Aroma, Etoille de Hollande, Ami Quinard, and Kaiserin Augusta Victoria have been tested. All of these produce about the same amount of oil, but the yield is about two-thirds of that from the Cabbage rose and the

j odor is decidedly different. This less- j er yield involves more labor, which

would be a serious obstacle in com- I mercial production.

Unlikely To Choose Liberal Paity Leader

Toronto, Feb. 6. Party officials pre- dicted tonight that Ontario Liberals w:!! go through the coming session of the Legislature witho’ut a. provincial party leader.

They said it was unlikely that a convention would be called until next Fall to choose a successor to former Premier Mitchell F. Hepburn, who re- signed as leader last November after he met defeat in his riding of Elgin m the June general elections.

During the Legislature session Far- quhar R. Oliver, member for Grey Scuth, will be Liberal House Leader. He will head 13 Liberals, largest oppo- sition group in the House.

The party’s annual meeting in Tor- onto April 25 will be a convention date Officials said they do not expect a con- vention before September.

Retain Grit Observations in Michigan, further

confirmed by Pennsylvania and Iowa authorities, indicate that game birds can survive for many weeks without fresh grit. The function of grit, it is believed, is to aid digestion by grinding seeds. However, it has been learned that when a continuous sup- ply is not available game birds are able to retain the grit they already have. One experiment showed that pheasants and quail can endure, without ill effects, 10 or more weeks of winter weather with no grit

; Even during periods of heavy snow fall, some grit is usually available in gravel and sand along roads, ii> wind-swept fields, and in ditches Prolonged sub-zero temperatures blizzards and ice storms are much more hazardous to game birds that is the general lack of food and grit.

McCBIMMON $250,000,000 Paid In Family Grants

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5. Canada’s Health Minis’ter Claxton today outlin- ed before the. ; National, Catholic Wel- fare Conference here the details of

Phosphorus Deficiency Cows that do not get enough phos

phorus in their diet develop “creeps,” “stiffs,” “sweeny,” ot “loin disease.” They suffer emacia tion, weakened bones, impaired fer- tility, retarded growth, depraved ap petite, shortened life span; and theii calves are unhealthy and do not grow well. U. S. department of agricu) ture cooperative feeding tests show that various sources of supplement- al phosphorus, including disodium- phosphate, help bring about the birth of more and heavier calves having a higher market value per pound. Pas- titre fertilization to correct phospho- rus deficiency in forage has also tejjjven excellent results. Fifty pei- nent of the 15,000,000 cattle in phos- phorus-deficient areas of this coun- Iljty should benefit $2 a head through the use of supplement phosphorus.

Proper Care Extends Service of Silk Umbrellas

Some persons still have silk um- brellas, oiled or plain, and will be interested in their proper care to insure continued service. For a plain silk umbrella, a soft clean- ing cloth should be used, and gréase spots (from car or road) can be re- moved with any grease solvent. The same treatment is effective for some rayons; however, if the rayon is an acetate, a cleaning fluid containing acetone must not be used.

Oiled silk or rayon umbrellas may be cleaned by sponging with a damp cloth, rinsing, and drying in the shade away from the heat U^e soap sparingly and never press. Because they stiffen and crack easily, oiled silk and other transparent ,umbrella materials must be handled carefuly in cold weather. $

Silk umbrellas dry out when not in use, so if there’s a dry spell for some time, you should take your um- brella out and wet it under the show- er or sprinkler occasionally. AU um- brellas should be thoroughly dry be- fore being closed and put away. This is especially true of rayon ones be- cause rayon is weak when damp. Never roll up an umbrella and put it in its case when it is wet.

Black Sea Long in Historical Spotlight

The Black sea has played a sig- nificant role in world affairs, eco- nomic and military, since Jason came this way in search of the Gold- en Fleece.

Colonists, pirates, traders and warriors have had a share in its fortunes. In different wars, varying international alignments of the Black sea peoples have altered the course of events and history. During the Crimean war of the middle 1850s, Turkey, Great Britain and France fought the Russians in this area. The ;ong and bitter siege against the Russian base of Sevastopol in 1854 55 was repeated with new actors when the Germans made their bat- tering attacks on that city from No- vember, 1941, to July, 1942.

There is also a considerable dif- ference. between the Black sea line- up of today and that of the 1914-18 war. In the earlier world conflict, the Turkish empire under the Sul- tan was joined with Germany and Bulgaria against Britain and her al- lies. The British launching of the campaign against Turkish Gallipoli, in 1915, to force an entrance to the Black sea, turned out to be one of the great Allied disasters of the war.

Toy Deadly Instrument A child’s toy—the spinning top, or

gyroscope^-is a deadly war instru- ment that is used in underwater warfare, on shipboard and in air- craft. Under water the gyro is the means “which directs the deadly torpedo on its path to the battleship, destroyer or transport, On ship- board, it performs the vital job of indicating the vertical, in spite of the roll and pitch of the vessel. Such stable verticals or elements are pre cision gyro instruments having means for continuously correcting or “erecting” the gyro to the vertical to make them accurate enough to serve as a base from which guns mpy be fired at distant targets Many other refinements must be in eluded to render gunfire accurate on a rolling and pitching base. These gyro instruments serve also to control many items of equipment aboard, so that parts or elements always are vertical or horizontal, as the case may require. Such -sta bilization makes the firing of guns possible at any position in the roll of the ship, and greatly increased fire power as well as accuracy of fire.

Enriched Bread Enriched flour and bread are

ordinary white flour and bread to which have been added specified amounts of iron and of three B vitamins — thiamin, riboflavin and niacin. Enrichment makes no dif- ference in the appearance, flavor or texture of the flour and bread, am) it came about because the aver age American prewar diet was de ficient in thiamin, needed fot healthy nerves and appetite, ribo Havin for delaying old age, and nia- cin for stable nerves. Except for vitamins A, D and C, enriched bread supplies,. in significant amounts, all the known dietary essentials for which allowances have beer established; it has improved the American diet, and although enrich- ment of family flour is now on a strictly voluntary basis, it is esti- mated that 75 per cent of the supply is now enriched.

Auto Prices '

From the beginning of the autc industry there have been distinct price ranges, with the medium and low-priced cars eventually moving ahead of the high-priced models. In recent years, the customer re ceived considerably more value than formerly, based upon size and performance, according to the Auto mobile Manufacturers association In 1929, this organization points out the average retail price of a repre sentative group of passenger cat models was about 32 cents a pound and $16.70 per horsepower’: Compar able figures for 1940 models were 16 cents a pound and $9.00 per horse power.

Security For Canadian Farmers Aim Of New Food Contracts

LONDON, Feb. 2—Top Canadian and British food experts have com- pieted detailed discussions on the pro- vision of Canadian food to Britain during the next several years and the suggestions now will go to the gov- ernments of the two countries for ap- pi oval.

Hn. James Gardiner, Agriculture Minister of Canada, has been in the United kingdom for some weeks, busy with the affairs of the. United Nations Assembly and with discussions in which Sn- Ben Smith, British Food Minister, has been the chief British spokesman.

'“Our discussions have been satisfac- tory but all matters pertaining to the negotiations must be reported to the Canadian Government and. the decis- sions will be made in Ottawa,” Mr. Gardiner said here today prior to his departure for Northern England. He leaves for home by air next week.

His duties as leader of the Canadian delegation t6 UNO will be taken over by Hon. Paul Martin, State Secretary.

Some Security It is understood the British food

experts madee clear the continued need for Canadian food in quantity which the ’Dominion is ready to pro- vide. The Canadian Minister sought extension of contracts to have some cover as much as five years in the future and to provide security for the Canadian producer.

■Wheat, cheese, bacon, eggs and meat were all under discussion. Canada de- sires prices similar to those paid at present and as mutual aid is ended, British officials are included to check carefully before entering long-term compact^.

Arrangements for a Canadian loan to the United Kingdom soon will be under discussion and this may be a factor in the final decisions on food agreements.

Mr. Gardiner said that wheat ship- ments through Port Churchill, on the coast of Hudson Bay, were discussed in his talks with Scottish co-operatives which are major grain importers and are interested in the possibilities of cheaper transprt by the northern route.

Use Our Ships Other sources said United Kingdom

interest was shown in the prospective use of part of the war-swollen Cana- dian merchant marine on the north- ern route to the Manitoba port where grain storage facilities are provided in a Government elevator. Port Chur- chill was virtually unused during the war due to lack of convoy arrange- ments .

The Canadian visitors to Britain With Mr. Gardiner included Dr G. S. H. Marton, his Deputy Minister, and the party made personal checks on the condition of Canadian foods reaching the United Kingdom. They found the British butcher who , receives unsliced Canadian bacon is one of the most valuable friends of the Dominion as he I knows where bacon, comes from and its | quality.

The housewife who buys unmarked sliced bacon does not know its place of origin but she likely will be influenced in future buying when the outcher re- ports that Canadian bacon is good. Because of war shipments of good quality, Canada hopes to hold much of the bacon market here even when Denmark and other competitors re-

. turn to full production.

No “Canada” Bacon Continuation of British bulk buying

makes unliikely the sale of small packages of bacon labelled “Canada” for at least a year. Visitors to the Lnited Kingdom have found the British consumer appreciates shell eggs which bear the stamp “Canada”.

Mr. Gardiner, on two visits to the Continent, saw farms in The Nether- lands, Germany, Belgium and France. He said he believes much of Ger-

back màny’s agriculture soon will be to normal production.

| On the personal side of his visits, ’tastat showing Hitler’s registration Mr. Gardiner is taking home a pho-

^ several times before 1930 at the 'Pijoenix Hotel in Hamburg where the 'canada Club is now located and the 'Minister met R.C.A.F. men there from 'all parts of the Dominion, j The worst damage he saw. he said, was at Hamburg where It is estimated between 175,000 and 250,000 people

| were killed In Allied air raids. How- Uver, Mr Gardiner said he noted * smoke again rising from the chimneys jof small factories in the Rhur, indica- ting that business had been resumed.

Want Horses He found the French want more

Canadian horses in addition to 700 received last year. The Dutch who

| took 2,200 to replace wartime losses, now' have all they need.

The evening Standard today said that Mr. Gardiner told the newspaper that after the talks with Sir Ben Smith, ‘You will get all the dried eggs Canada can produce. You are getting them now but we will see what can be done to Increase the supply. Dollar payment is a secondary matter.” ’ ujnited States supplies of dried eggs baVe been cut off, the newspaper said, ,and they will go off the British mar- ket'shortly.

Mr. Gardiner was quoted by the Standard as saying: “We are return- ing to Ottawa well satisfied with our agreements with Sir Ben Smith.”

Clen Bottles Milk bottles that have contained

sour milk or buttermilk are often diffi-

cult to clean. This may be more easi-

ly accomplished by putting one fourth

of a teaspoon of baking soda in the bottle, filling it with warm water and allowing it to stand until soda has dissolved. Shakee well rinse with Clear, warm water, and the bottle will

be clean.

)ogs Not Affected by Air Raids in Progress

Dog lovers often ask how the dogs \ n England are getting along in the 1

errible air raids now in progress. )n this point a letter from a lady vho keeps a famous kennei of Irish etters on the outskirts of London ■as received. She writes: “You would laugh at

.iy dogs trooping into the dugout rhen things get lively here. Only me dog. Champion Veracity, was icared by the noise and now she las got completely used to it. My ild Champion Vanity has got the vhole thing taped, she will stay in he house until guns or bombs are oud, then she scuttles into the dug- mt.”

Another letter says: “In a dog’s lome near the coast the inmates ecently showed complete indiffer- mce to the sirens and even to ex- >loding bombs: There are cases .vhere both dogs and cats have earned to know what an air-raid

■varning means and promptly make and take cover. The other day

a heavy bomb fell within a mile of 3 shed full of dogs, they were un- aerturbed. «Above another dog’s lome raiders unloaded and the anti- aircraft batteries were in action. Mot a dog even barked. They were al] less affected than if it had been a thunderstorm.”

It would appear that man’s best friend is standing up to the raids well.

Salmon and Sudden Death As Celilo Indians Fish

Every year, tourists flock to Celilo Falls, a hundred miles east of Port- land, Ore., to watch the Celilo In- dians fish for salmon during the spring and fall runs. The tourists stand around for hours, and occa- sionally they will be on hand to see an Indian slip into the rapids and drown vyhile his fellows frantically try to save him. ^

The cgiap? wera SKeofthe Sv5 tribes wBo peacefully ceded to the Upited States a strip of territory stretching from Mt. Adams in Wash- ington to the Columbia river in Ore- gon. In return, the government granted the tribes the right to hun1 and fish forever, and to live off the reservations. But one trick clause in this treaty—a clause granting the right to hunt and fish to all othei residents of the territory—has de- prived the Indians of the opportv nity to make a decent living ôüî 61 {he gbundance of salmon for which the Columbia river is famous.

Many people do not recognize mercury as a metal simply because it is a liquid, writes Harry M. Day in Nqture magazine. It is a true metallic element, none the less- just as much a'Sétaî as tin, zinc or lead. The fact that we usually see it as a liquid means simply that its melting point happens to fall below bur ordinary temperatures; it is. strictly speaking, a molten metal. Professor Braune, at St. Petersburg, first succeeded in freezing it at 40 degrees below zero and recognized its true metallic properties. In its low melting point mercury is unique, and out of its uniqueness arise many of its uses and iridis- oensabie services to mankind.

Why ‘Pop’ Leads Bride .The conventional wedding dress i:

white because white has stood fo: | purity since the earliest days. Th< j veil has many traditions. Amonj ! the Egyptians, the Hindus, th, ! Arabs, and many other peoples, thi • groom was not allowed to see thi j face of his bride until the weddin; day. The veil of today’s bride i: j caught with orange blossoms. This ; too, is an early custom. It was be ■ lieved that the “golden apple’ I which Juno gave, to Jupiter on thei: ! wedding day was in reality an or ! ange. Anyway, the modern bridi ; wears orange blossoms on her wed dmg veil.

When the bride’s father gracious i iy gives her in marriage, he is hark ; ing back to the days of marriagi \ by purchas». After the prospect! vi groom had paid the price—and no before—the father led out the gir and turned her over to him.

The custom of best man goes bad to the days of mapriagq by capture ;

When a man went out to capture I bride he took along his “best man’ or “best friend.” This friend ha< to be a strong-armed warrior be cause it was his duty to hold bad the bride’s kin by force and knocl them out if necessary while th< groom carried her, kicking am screaming—unless clubbed into un consciousness—to some place o safety.

What You Can Do Neighbors, who are musically in

dined, occasion the most disputes. A New York judge, according to news commentator Helen Rowland ruled with the wisdom of Portia that a man could ' keep his radio going night and day if he wished but thaï if one note crossed the air shaft into a neighboring apartment he could be charged with disturbing the peace.

People who know their rights may collect liberally upon this knowl- edge. A widow in the Bronx and her two daughters received $100.000 from a sheriff’s jury in a slander ac- tion against a neighbor who had talked with such effect that a police- man engaged to one of the girls broke it off. , A manager of a New Jersey country club, who had been charged by a member with forgery, was tried, acquitted, and then won a judgment of $20,000, for false ar- rest. The “haymaker” that an Omaha detective landed on the jaw of a robbery suspect proved a boom- erang for a court awarded the man $1,213 damages for the physical pain and indignities he had suffered.

First Bank The oldest incorporated bank h

the United States was the Bank o North America, chartered by con gress on November 1, 1781. De scribed as the “first regularly es tablished bank in America,” i opened for business in Philadelphii on January 7, 1782. An earlier bank the Bank of Pennsylvania, which opened in 1780, soon went out o ; business, but the Bank of Nortl : America, long a landmark at Chest ! nut near Third, continued in busi ' ness as a separate institution unti 1929, when it merged with the Penn sylvania Company for Insurance! on Lives and Granting Annuities.

Perfect Teeth Family Revealed Declared to be a case virtually

unparalleled in dental history, a mother,.and daughter,of Los Angeles were discovered to have perfect teeth; during an exposition of the Los Angeles Health Defense exposi- tion, recently. They are Mrs.; Jes- sie Haden and her daughter, Marthe Haden. Mrs,, Haden said that her son, Robert, also' has perfect teeth.

Mrs Haden explained her molar perfection bÿv stating that she has always eaten good food, plenty of vegetables, raw carrots and leafy dishes. “We drink raw milk at our house,” she said. “Since I was a child, I have massaged my gums daily. As a youngster I chewed raw meat for the vitamin content—and perhaps that has something to do with it.”

Real Causes of Divorce Divorce laws and decrees seldom

recite the real causes for divorce, according to some psychologists. Things are seldom brought out be- fore the court are the differences in temperament, social background, education, life habits, philosophy of life, etc.

When psychologists bring out these real causes, the parties con cerned often become reconciled. One noted psychologist states that m- couple should ever seek a divorce without first seeking the advice of a ■osychologist trained in marriage counselling.

This figure, the words “good-night” and the opera- tor’* name were placed at the bot- tom of the sheet. Some other ver- sions are: When newspapers were handwritten, “x” designated the end of s sentence, “xx” the end of s paragraph and “xxx” (Roman nu- merals for 30) the end of a story; linotype machines cast type slugs of 30 ems maximum length, hence “30” means the end of a line; when the Associated Press was established each member paper was entitled to 30 telegrams per day. Last of the day’s quota was labeled “30.”

“We’re not that altruistic,” she re- plied, “but we do travel prepared to take care of ourselves. Oh-oh, here she comes. You grab the beans and I’ll take the coffee. . . . Get into my car.”

Calmly she watched and considered. They’d have to spend the night here, ol course. There was an old horse blanket in the tool box. She could use that. The poncho would keep Herb” comparatively comfortable. She thought nothing of spending the

“You’d have given shelter to any stranger you met out here?”

The suddenyy round eyes which met his answered him. “What else could one do?"

Without bothering to take off as much as his shirt, hs Jumped into the cool water.

There was a cheer from the by- standers and by the time Patrolman Louis Schorck reached the scene, Szarko had negotiated the whole length of the pool. To Schorck’a question: “What are you doing here?” he bluntly replied: “I’m hot and I’m cooling off.”

Although Schorck felt sympathet- ic, he took Szarko to City hospital, on the theory that he might need ob- servation. But there the interne said: “Anybody who tries to cool off today isn’t crazy.”

Mount for Machine Gun Changes Defense Tactics

It represents a net expenditure oi only $9.80.

But a new machine gun mount which has been developed by the Sixty-fifth Coast Artillery antiair- craft regiment might revolutionize defense tactics if the United States were invaded, it was disclosed re- cently.

The new mount permits the mounting of .50-caliber antiaircraft machine guns in any type of truck, and thus would make it possible for the army to commandeer whole fleets of commercial vehicles at a mo- ment’s notice and send them swarming over the countryside to keep enemy planes away.

The disclosure was made at the Kelly ranch, just south of Chehalis, Wash., where the Second Battalion of the Sixty-fifth was in camp as part of the “Blue” forces which took part in war maneuvers.

“The standard tripod mount with which the .50-caliber gun is equipped is ideal for firing from the ground,” Maj. R. C. Jones, com- manding officer of the battalion, ex- plained, “but we have always felt that we should be able to fire from a moving truck, and that couldn’t be done with the regular equipment.

“You see, our function is to race with the enemy aircraft and try to keep them from reaching the point they seek to attack.

“Thus it is absolutely essential that we should be able to go into action at any time without a sec- ond’s delay.

“We got together to see what we could improvise, and this new mount is the result. We ‘stole’ the four- foot square steel plate which con;

stitutes the base and the rest of the materia] came out of the junkpile. It’s pretty crude, but it will serve its purpose until somebody works out something better which the war department can adopt as standard equipment.”

Different Strains of Corn Vary in Feeding Value

Although there’s not much differ- ence in the value of hybrid and open-pollinated corn for fattening pigs, there is a wide difference in feeding value between specific strains of corn, whether it is hybrid or open-pollinated, says B. W. Fair- banks, professor of swine husbandry, at the University of Illinois college of agriculture.

Pigs receiving hybrid corn in 11 experiments conducted at five sta- tions made an average daily gain of 1.49 pounds, compared with 1.46 pounds for open-pollinated. Pigs ate an average of 391 pounds of hybrid corn in making 100 pounds gain, while they ate an average of 394 pounds of open-pollinated for each 100 pounds gain.

However, when different strains of hybrid and open-pollinated corn were fed pigs, more than half a pound gain a pig for each day was observed. The difference was not quite so great when comparing strains of open-pollinated as in the case of hybrid corn.

The difference in feed consumed for each 100 pounds of gain was just as striking when the strains were compared. There was a difference of 172 pounds in the case of open- pollinated and 89 pounds for strains of hybrid.

Even though the problem of hy- brid versus open-pollinated corn has ceased to be a problem, Professor Fairbanks concluded that strains of hybrid and strains of open-pollinat- ed corn may vary as much within their respective classes as any one hybrid would vary from any one open-pollinated variety.

Son Gets Mother’s Ears One of the most remarkable op-

erations in the annals of plastic sur- gery recently took place in West- cliff-on-Sea, Essex, England. A mother’s sacrifice has rebuilt a new face for her son. The mother is Mrs. Atkins and the son is Jimmy. As the result of an affliction, Jirrimy could not speak properly. Jimmy has been going to a hospital for months for his face to be rebuilt with skin grafted from other parts of his body. Now his smile is no longer contorted but straight and jolly.

But Jimmy had no ears so when his mother heard tjiat he could be given ears, she pleaded with doctors to give him hers. So soon the final delicate operation of transferring the mother’s ears to her son will be carried out and Jimmy will be as good as new, doctors say.
