SHIPYARDS ARE BUSY MAKING LIFE BOATS
Shipbuilding began in Shelburne, N, S., with the arrival of the Loyalists who came from New York in 1783 and the industry has been maintained ever since, In the days when wooden hulls carried the world’s commerce _ ship- yards at Shelburne were busy but the use of iron and steel made great changes, Now there is a big demand for lifeboats as part of the equipment of war craft and merchantmen launch- ed elsewhere, consequently yards are working at top speed. Schooners, yachts and fast motor boats are also being built in Shelburne yards,

RED CROSS WILL NOT MAKE DRIVE IN 1941
Possibility of “Community Chest” Plan for 1942
In connection with the War Services Fund drive which commences on Mon- day, March 24th, Mr, Gardiner has stated: “The Red Cross have agreed that they will not put on another drive in 1941, so that there will be no further drive by that society or any one of the other organizations during the year 1941, The question what will happen in 1942 will be finally settled among them before the end of the year.”
So when making contributions to the War Services Fund next week, re- member the above facts, and “give all you can”,
Apparently a “Community Chest” idea of raising funds will be adopted in 1942, and the Red Cross will be in- cluded in the 1942 drive, although for the present only the Canadian Legion, 1.0.D.E., Salvation Army, Knights of Columbus, Y.M.C.A. and Y.W.C.A. are included in the forthcoming drive for funds,
GOVERMENT WHEAT POLICY OUTLINED
Last Wednesday in the House of Commons at Ottawa the government’s eight-point wheat policy was announc- ed jointly by Hon, J.A. MacKinnon and J.G, Gardiner, The main features of the plan are as follows:
1, Limitation of deliveries to the Wheat Board or open market to 230 million bushels for the coming crop year,
2. A bonus of $4 per acre on reduced wheat acreage which is in summerfal- low on July 1st, 1941,
3. A bonus of $2 per acre on land turned over from wheat to coarse grains this year,
4, A bonus of $2 per acre on wheat land turned over to grass or clover,
5. A continued price of 70c per bu- shel for the reduced volume of wheat to be purchased by the Board,
6, Continued payment of storage to the farmer on the 230 million bushels which the government undertakes to purchase out of the 1941 crop.
7, Continuation of the quota system of deliveries, based on the production of 65 per cent of the 1940 acreage.
THE WORLD OF WHEAT REVIEWED WEEKLY BY MAJOR H.G.L. STRANGE
Comparative yields of the recom- mended standard varieties of wheat from the 1939 and 1940 “Crop Testing Plan” and official governmental tests have recently become available, They show most interesting results. One surprising thing is to find how Regent, the latest product of the Dominion Rust Research Laboratory, has won up to the top class,
Throughout the West, on the av- erage, for the two years in question, Regent yielded slightly more than any other variety closely followed, how- ever, by Thatcher, Renown and Apex, and out of the rust area in Saskat- chewan by Marquis, In Alberta Reg- ent was close on the heels of the high yielding varieties of Marquis, Red Bobs and Thatcher.
This must all be a source of con- siderable gratification to the plant breeders and other workers of the Do- minion Rust Research Laboratory who produced Regent, We are informed further that the varieties, Regent, Re- nown, Apex and Thatcher, will be still further improved year by year as new- er Registered strains become | avail- able.
There are, of course, differences in yield of the various varieties in dif- ferent districts, To find the variety best suited for himself each farmer, therefore, should make a test of sev- eral varieties on his own farm, In general, however, it can be said that any one of the varieties mentioned will give satisfaction for the districts in which they are recommended by the proper authorities.

URGE HOME FOLKS TO BACK SOLDIERS
The Earl of Athlone and Prime Mi- nister W. L, Mackenzie King have commended the united appeal of the Canadian War Services Fund, which opens throughout Canada March 24, on behalf of the Canadian Legion, the 1.0.D.E, in the four western provinces the Knights of Columbus, Salvation Army, Y.M.C.A., and the Y.W.C.A.
Canada’s Governor-General _ stated he and the Princess Alice were glad to become patrons of the fund because they had seen its organization at work in Canada and Great Britain and re- cognized the invaluable aid these ser- vices gave the fighting men of Can- ada, “Nothing contributes so much to their physical and spiritual well-he- ing,” His Excellency pointed out, The services signify to them the affection and thoughtfulness of the ‘folks back home’ ”,
“Up to now these organizations have conducted separate national appeals for funds, This has been an inconve- nience to the subscribing public and a heavy burden on the men and wo- men who collect the funds required,” explained Premier King, “This volun- tary co-operation will, | am confident, prove fruitful, The work of these or- ganizations merits generous support.” Premier King said the auxiliary ser- vices provided by these six bodies were essential to the well-being and morale of the armed forces,

Inflation Or Thrift
With the lessons of the past confronting them, it seems almost incred- ible that there should exist in Canada people who would have the govern- ment of the country adopt a policy of monetary inflation as the “easy” way of financing the country’s war effort and of buttressing ‘its internal economy.
The average Canadian of mature years, who is old enough to have been a@ spectator of the evil effects of inflation during the first Great War and the post-war depression era, could hardly be expected to subscribe to a doctrine which, in practice, brought such bitter rewards to the rank and file of the general public in every country which attempted to lift itself by its bootstraps in this manner,
There might be some excuse for the advocacy of the gospel of “funny money” on the part of the mentally immature, or of those who are two young to realize the disastrous effects of the adoption of a policy which history, and very recent history, has demonstrated is invariably followed by a day of reckoning, a reckoning which can only take the form of bank- ruptey, such as the world experienced during the years which followed the great financial collapse of 1929.
* * * * An Object Lesson
Surely the experiences of Germany during the years which followed the Great War should be an object lesson to the people of this country of the disastrous aftermath of an inflationist policy.

~ Encireling The World
Flying Boats Can Cover Huge Dis- tances With Facilities At Hand Sir Alan Cobham, addressing the
Royal Society of Arts in London on the subject of refuelling aircraft in the air, said that we had now suffici- ent data and experience of success- ful achievement to show that the process was no longer an experiment but a practice which could be put into everyday use.
Important trials had led to the conclusion that, generally, flight re- fuelling could be carried out when- ever it was possible to operate air transport. The refuelling operation had also been carried out on flying- boats employed on the Atlantic ser- vice. In addition to flight refuelling to assist takeoff, it could be used for refuelling aircraft at some inter- mediate point along the route.
With a still air range of 5,000 miles it would be possible for air- jeraft to encircle the world, with stops at Cairo, Bombay, Singapore,

Considered Greatest Crime an
Buddhist Doctrine Forbids Hunting Wild Creatures In Tibet
Hunting is one of the greatest crimes in Tibet, for Buddhist doctrine forbids the taking of life in any form. The result is that wild crea- tures are very tame. In Southwest- ern Tibet, hares, marmots, part- ridges, white pheasants, wild ducks and geese are completely unmoved when one approaches to within a few feet of them. In most of the mon- asteries meat is eaten but only the meat of domestic animals, which, it is thought, are clearly expiating some past sin in ‘a former human exist- ence by their present enslavement.

complete the ruin blithely started when the printing presses were allowed to run amok.
ple
Even now the people of the world are being given a demonstration of what inflation means to the common people in the countries so recently sub- jugated by the Nazis, where they are being stripped bare of the very nec- essities of existence by the subtle device of forcing them to accept print- ing press money for their commodities under the guise of “paying” for them. In these countries prices are soaring to a giddy altitude and this, coupled with drastic rationing, is driving them to hunger and rags.
It is bad enough for a people to be robbed by their conquerors in this polite form, but at least they cannot help it. How much worse it would be for a people wittingly to allow themselves to be robbed by such a vicious device, when they have the power to prevent themselves being tied hand and foot in economic chains. |
Fortunate, indeed, are the people of this country that their leaders are men who have steadfastly set their faces against this financial will o’ the wisp, men who realize that the safe way is not the easy way, but that in- creasing sacrifices now will mean later on a burden that will not be intoler- able and will not break the backs of the people and ruin the country.

Sy The Sane Road ”
This war has got to be paid for, and there are only three ways of doing it—taxation, borrowing, inflation. The first is the soundest, safest and sanest. The second is sound and safe and sane, as long as we are borrowing from ourselves, which is precisely what we are doing when we buy war savings certificates or subscribe to government loans. As long as we é following these two methods we are not preparing a rod for our own nates later. The last is the broad road which leads to destruction.
The straight and narrow economic way of paying as we go or of bor- rowing from ourselves entails personal sacrifice and necessitates thrift. It means that Canadians must spend less and less on pleasures and save more and more, not only that we may win the war more speedily but so that the} shock of post-war readjustment may be cushioned. |
The road to security for the future was aptly pointed out recently by | J. A. McLeod, president of the Bank of Nova Scotia, in his address at the | Bank's annual meeting, when he said:
‘If inflation is to be avoided, there is only one way in which Canadians | find the necessary money (to finance the war effort)—that is, by | strictly limiting their expenditures and thus increase their rate of savings. It is thus a vital part of the war effort on the ‘home front’ that everyone who can reasonably economize should save more and more. For those} whose incomes are rising as a result of war-time expansion, a high rate | of saving is not only the part of patriotism, but also the part of wisdom, for

The appointment of Sir Robert Brooke-Popham as Commander-in- Chief in the Far East portends a policy of organizing the Eastern Hemisphere for a more intense prose- cution of war, since he is to collabor- ate with military and civil authorities in Australia, New Zealand, India, Burma and other British territories, and with the naval authorities in China and East Indies Station.
India's geographical position and her diversified resources and indus- tries mark her out as an ideal supply centre for all points of strategic con- sequence from Egypt to Malaya. This zone corresponds with her own de- fence interests, for with the advent of air warfare, India's outer bastions and strategic frontiers lie at the Suez Canal and Singapore, gateways to west and east.
Always a greater producer of food- stuffs, textile fibres, oilseeds and many minerals, India is also one of the world’s great industrial coun- tries.

India put over a million and a half trained men into the field during the last war. She can do so again, if so many are needed.
The Royal Indian Navy has been more than trebled since the outbreak of war. It is escurting convoys, patrolling in the Red Sea, and keep- ing Indian ports and coasts clear of enemy mines and U-boats, The ship- yards at Bombay and on the banks

Mounted Police for 1939-40, said that,

Dale was the property of a mem- ber of the force and when little more than a pup saved the life of his mas- ter and a comrade, lost in a blizzard at 35 below zero. Placed on a leash, the dog was told to search and led them to a cabin where they shelter.
In 1935, after a frantic posse had searched for hours for a missing two-year-old child, Dale caught the seent in a rain-drenched trampled field, raced through high wheat with a Mounted constable behind him and located the child.
On the way to this search, Dale assisted in the check of a suspicious car and located stolen articles in a field. Dale had a part in protecting Their Majesties during their tour of Canada. He was employed in search- ing box cars and buildings before the roval train came to Unity, Sask.

|Air Travel Across The
Atlantic By Clipper Route
Is Increasi
ng In Volume
Now that the feasibility of flying the Atlantic non-stop between Africa and the northern tip of South Am- erica has been demonstrated by the clippers, a rapid expansion in trans- Atlantic air service is promised, writes August Loeb, in the New York Times. An increase in the num- ber of flights will be made by Pan- American Airways throughout the spring and summer with the delivery of each new flying boat.
The present schedule of two round- trip flights a week between New York and Lisbon will be gradually added to from now until June, when a daily, except Sunday, service is to begin. It might have been promised for an even earlier date had not the airline agreed to turn over to the British Government three of the six new Boeings it had ordered. The other three will supplement the ser- vice now maintained by the Dixie, Yankee and Atlantic Clippers.
All calculations as to the load of mail and passengers that the clippers might be called upon to carry over the Atlantic have been upset. The heaviest mail load was not expected to exceed 1600 pounds, yet on one
trip the load was 13,400 pounds. The!
demand for passenger space has been equally great, with hundreds of refu- gees, government officials and others who seek quick leave of the Euro- pean Continent crowding into Lisbon, the last gateway to the New World, and waiting their turn to board one of the ocean-going planes.
The new westward route from Lisbon to New York via Africa and South America was planned to re- lieve some of this pressure. Known 1s the “refugee route,” it is nearly twice as long as the route via the Azores and Bermuda but it has ad- antages that more than offset the greater distance. The most import- ant one is that it enables the clip- pers to make the homeward flight with the prevailing winds instead of flying against them ag on the more northerly route. This means that the fuel load on the new route is so much less that the planes can carry twelve passengers, twice as many as on the northern route.
Westbound passengers for the clippers turn up from every corner of Portuguese
and mail in Lisbon Europe. The has become point for the entire conti- nent, where British, German, Nether- lands and Italian pilots may meet without at another's planes. ‘Fhey manage even to ex- change mail and weather reports, Two British flying boats

A young man of 25 stood beside two or three Polish airmen recently, states Atticus, in the Financial Post, and received a decoration for gal- lantry from the Polish Foreign Min- ister. He was slim, with fine fea- and delicate hands. His face had little color, and only a curious hardness about the mouth denied the idea that he might have been a poet or an artist.
A year before the war he came from Winnipeg and took a permanent When the

And the Italians bring their big |Savoias from Rome three times a | week, Thus nearly all the wartime commercial air traffic of Western | Europe converges on Lisbon,
; The new four-tontinent airline
from Lisbon to New York is 7,459 miles long and requires about fifty- two hours of flying time. The first sector of the route runs approxi- mately 2,000 miles south and west from Lisbon to Bolama, in Portu- guese Guinea, passing the Strait of | Gibraltar, the Moroccan coast, the } Canaries and Port Senegal Gambia. | The landing at Bolama_ brings the clipper passengers into a@ port vir- tually unknown to the world until a few weeks ago.
Bolama is the tiny capital of Portuguese Guinea, where the hump of Africa reaches out into the At- lantic toward South America. The new port of call for the clippers is probably the most primitive spot they have ever touched. Before the planes can slide down onto the River Jeba, the ground crews must patrol the landing strips to make sure there are no stray hippopotamus in the way. The river is also known for its crocodiles and cannibal fish.
Atter stopping two hours at Bol- ama to take on a 5,000-gallon fuel load the clippers head out the South Atlantic on the non- stop run ever made by

planes. The flight of more than 3,000 miles moves along the tenth parallel at the upper edge of the “whirl point,’ where the turning of the earth whirls the atmosphere toward the west. The old sailing clippers pointed their sharp bows along this course to pick up the quartering
breeze off the Windwards, The proving flight for the Bolama-
Port-of-Spain run, on which Wen- dell L. Willkie was a _ passenger, brought out fresh data on the be-
havior of the winds in the South At- lantic. Before the flight lieved that 8,000 feet was the most suitable level for this run under 20,- 000 feet, where high-altitude planes would be required. But at 8,000 feet the Dixie Clipper ran unexpectedly into headwinds and had to fly at a lower altitude to take advantage of the prevailing easterlies.

Use Pure Seed |
Cost Of Pure Seed Is Low Compared With Losses From Inferior Seed Probably the most «unnoticeable
loss suffered by farmers of Melfort,
Sask., area to-day is that resulting
from the use of impure seed. Most
of this loss can be avoided by obtain- ing good pure seed and growing and handling subsequent seed supplies in such a manner as to prevent them from coming in contact with seed of other varieties, states W. T. Burns,
Dominion Experimental Station, Mel-
fort.
The proportion of farmers sowing seed wheat containing more than one variety as revealed by The Crop Testing Plan was very high. Though considerable progress has been made to improve this condition there is still an appreciable amount of impure seed of wheat being sown. No such extensive program has been carried out in connection with oats and bar- ley, but there is every indication that the seed of these crops used on many farms is as badly mixed as in the case of wheat seed.
Losses from the use of impure seed result in two ways. First the yield is usually reduced below that of a pure variety. The varieties of cereal grains recommended for general use are superior in yield to those they have displaced. Mixtures of the new and the old are not likely to give the highest yield. Some varieties, such as Banner and Victory oats and
O.A.C. 21 barley, have been in use}
for many years. Many farmers have grown these crops from the same seed year after year without giving
|any thought to maintaining the pur-
ity of their seed. Such seed is very likely to have produced off types and become mixed to such an extent that it is inferior in yielding capacity to the original stock. The second form
of such losses occurs in the reduced |
quality of the product.
in a mixture of Garnet, a low qual- ity wheat, with high quality bread
wheats such as our new rust resist- |
ant varieties. Such mixtures are
readily observed and do not reach}
the highest grades or command the highest price. In the case of coarse grains to be utilized as feed for local use quality is not as important a fac- tor as it is in exportable produce. However, considerable barley is grown for sale with the hope of ob- taining malting grades. Unless a

New Zealand’s Flying Doctor
Woman Nearing 70 Applies For War Job In London
Age hasn't sapped the strength or dampened the ardor of New Zea- land’s “flying doctor,” a white-haired, wiry woman who arrived in London raring to get into “this man-sized war.
Dr. Agnes Bennett was attached to the New Zealand Army Medical orps during the first Great War and despite her age—it'’s nearer 70 than 60—worked her passage from Wel- lington as a doctor aboard a 11,000- ton ship. She “retired” four years ago, but wasn’t content to stay out
}of action,
“I’m an evergreen,” said Dr, Ben- net.. “If I rested on my laurels I'd start to get old.’ She looked about and decided to become a “flying doc- tor” in North Queensland.
“It was thrilling work,” she said. “T used to fiy 200 miles or so to visit It was wild country where I was usually the only visitor in many months at lonely farms and cattle stations.”

Bay factor, he was born at a trader outpost in Lac LaBiche, 85 years ago. To militiamen of the Prince Al- bert and Battleford volunteers, his death severs the last link of the regi- ment with its earliest history.

Lesson; Luke 22:1-38. oa reading: Jeremiah 31:}
Explanations and Comments
The Prelude to the Lord’s Supper, Luke 22:14-18. When the hour was come (when evening was come, Mat- thew), Jesus sat down (rather, re- | clined on a couch) with his disciples |to partake of the Paschal Supper. “With desire have I desired [intense- | |ly have I longed] to eat this Pass- | Over with you before I suffer.” What ;@ tender, beautiful, pathetic word! Why did he have this great longing? He had eagerly looked forward to it, | for he desired the support of their fellowship for what was before him. Have we realized that Jesus was like | that, needing the comfort that others could give him like that? And he had longed for the opportunity for their sakes. They were to know , Something of the sorrow of desola- tion, and he would prepare them for | the dark future. If they were as- |Sured of his deathless love, they | would find comfort when the shock | of his death came. They could look! back on this feast and recall his) words and gather strength to suffer) and to wait. | _ Instituting the Lord’s Supper, Luke | | 22:19, 20. And he took bread, and} when he had given thanks, he brake! \it. It was unleavened bread, especi- |ally prepared for the Paschal meal. |And Jesus said, “This is my body | which is given for you.”
“This do in remembrance of me.” | And through all the centuries since his followers have observed this ser- vice. But what is it to remember Jesus? In the words of ‘another: To ;remember Jesus is to accept him as | Mediator, to trust him as our Re- deemer, to love him as our Friend, to obey him as our King, to take him for our all in all. Of all this the |Symbolic act is a pledge. Have we} the right to stay away from the |Lord’s table?
And as Jesus took the cup, he! said, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, even that which is ;}poured out for you.” As Moses) sprinkled blood upon the people and said, “Behld the blood of the cove- nant which God hath made for you,” so here Jesus declared that his blood | jis poured out to ratify the covenant. The graphic present, “he is poured out,” is used, for the sacrificial | |death is close at hand. The Lord's | Supper is a covenant meal; but there | is no covenant unless both parties |share it.

INTEREST TYPHOID DISAPPEARS
All across the North American continent Typhoid Fever is a dis- appearing disease. At the beginning of the present century the rate of mortality for this disease in the United States averaged 34 in every hundred thousand of population; it dropped to less than one per hundred thousand in 1939. In many places it was much lighter than this. If the conditions prevailing before 1900 had continued the United States would now be having 44,000 typhoid deaths annually instead of 2,400.
The situation in Canada is in part better than that recorded for our nearest neighbour. At the beginning of the century the typhoid deathrate for this country was about 50.1 per hundred thousand of population. In 1938, this rate had dropped to 1.8. In Ontario it was but one in every hundred thousand while in Saskatche- wan the rate was 0.9.
This improved condition in regard to what forty years ago was a plague may be ascribed to a combina- tion of factors: better general edu- cation in health matters; better recognition of the principles of hy- giene and most of all to the use of pure water and pasteurized milk.
In the present war the example of the last war is happily being fol- lowed with regard to, the inoculation of soldiers against typhoid and para- typhoid fevers. Inoculation against these maladies was so successful in the war of 1914-18 that very few of our British defenders succumbed to
Gardening |
The three and most common and serious mistakes of the beginner are planting too early, too close and too deep. With the general run of vege- tables and flowers, there is no ad- vantage in getting things in while there is still danger of serious frost. One set-back from a cold day or two completely offsets the early start and may indeed mean replanting the whole garden. This caution of course does not apply to very hardy vege- tables or flowers or to grass seed. These should be sown just as soon as ground is fit to work..
Not Too Deep

beets, peas and similar plants with big seeds can eaily be sown at the distances advocated on the packet, With tiny seeded lettuce or alyssum, however, it is practically impossible to space by hand, but if the seed is first mixed with a little sand and the whole sown carefully plants will be spread out. Plant Grass Early
Lawn grass must be sown early as most growth is made when the weather is still coul and wet. After digging, the ground should be allowed
| to settle for a few days at least and
then levelled again. - It is advisable to repeat this process several times. The top soil should then be raked fine and the grass sown at a liberal rate, once across and once length- wise. This double sowing insures an even distribution. For permament lawns of deep green color and fine— texture, good quality seed from a reputable Canadian seed house is vital. Hot Beds For Quantity
When large number of early plants are needed, these can be started from seed in a hot bed. The latter is usually prepared in early March, It consists of a bed of fresh horse man- ure, which supplies the heat, about 18 inches deep. On this two or three inches of fine soil is placed and after the bed has heated up and then cool- ed down again (a matter of three or four days) the seed is sown in rows @ few inches apart. The bed is pro- tected by rough boarding along the side and on top, and sloping towards the south about 10 to 18 inches above

SUBSTITUTES FOR WHEAT URGED BY GRAIN RESEARCH
Winnipeg.—The Associate commit- tee on Grain Research recommended at conclusion of their three-day con- ference here that western Canada farmers increase corn, flax and bar- ley crops as a substitute for wheat.
The committee’s press report said increase of 35,000,000 bushels in barley production will be required to feed the increased hog population re-
quired to fulfill the British bacon quota.
Increases in corn, flax and barley crops “might be expected to take about 1,250,000 acres out of wheat,” said the report, while western agri- culture as a whole would benefit, if additional acreage were used for for- age crops and if submarginal lands were laid down to permanent grass.
Information given the committee suggested that under existing condi- tions an increase of 2,000,000 acres of summerfallow in 1941 would “be justified.”
The committee, established under the national research council, said:
“Barley of excellent malting and feed quality can be produced in most of the northern areas where the wheat is of lower protein content and of lower baking strength. .. .
“Possibilities also exist for increas- ing our export of high quality malt- ing barley both to England and the United States, as well as creating a new market in South America, now cut off from European supplies.
‘It is an established fact that Canadian six-row malting barley is superior to corresponding barleys grown in the United States. dian malt is also highly valued in the United States owing to excellent extract yield.
“The exploitation of these possi- bilities depends upon farmer co-oper- ation. A wider effort to produce better quality barley by seeding early on clean land is definitely de- sirable.”
The committee said “flax is now receiving considerable attention as it is the best adapted oil-bearing seed for western Canada and yields a dry- ing oil suitable for manufacture of paints and enamels.
High quality of the oil from west- ern Canadian flax makes possible a small export trade in flax-seed which might amount to 1,000,000 or. 2,000,- 000 bushels, while domestic consump- tion will probably amount to 3,500,- 000 bushes]. Last year Canada pro- duced 3,250,000 bushels of flax.
Sunflower seed also shows promise for production of edible oils. An expanded program of investigation of adopting sunflower crops on the prairies “is planned,” said the com- mittee.
Western Canada corn “is too high in moisture content,” but production of feed corn which can be dried artificially “might be pushed in cer- tain areas in southern Manitoba,” the report said. Production of corn for industrial utilization may be promising in southern Ontario. Dean L. E. Kirk of the University of Sas- katchewan will investigate relative merits of drying shelled corn and corn on the cob, the committee an- nounced.

The Conservative member declared the submarines “are expected to get as far as the shores of our coast, and they are not expected to return. They are being manned by fanatical young Germans — volunteers of a | death or glory brigade.”
“They would fire torpedoes at short range and their subsequent chance of escape, provided there was

ALTERNATE CROPS OF DURUM WHEAT RECOMMENDED
Winnipeg.—The associate commit- tee on grain research recommended an increase be made in growing alternate crops on Canadian farms, that more Canadian durum be pro- duced, and decided new varieties of rust-resistant durums and _ bread wheats should not be released un- til further tests are made.
Rival, a rust-resistant wheat pro-| duced in the United States, showed | no superiority in yield or quality over the varleties now grown in| Canada which would justify a recom- mendation that it be licensed for dis- tribution in the Dominion, said the committee's press release.
The committee praised the quality of the registered strain of Regent rust-resistant hard spring wheat and approved the registered strain.
The superior quality of macaroni made from Canadian durum wheat | was stressed before the committee, holding closed sessions here.
“It was agreed,” said the commit- tee’s report, that macaroni made from high grade durum wheat in the board of grain commissioners’ labor- atory ‘was superior in cooking prop- erties, texture and flavor.”
“Public demand for better ma- caroni, made from durum wheat alone, might stimulate manufacture of a better product in Canada, thus favorably affecting a growing mar- ket for Canadian-made macaroni and Canadian durum wheat in Britain.”
In recommending an increase in alternate crops because of problems created by the surplus of hard red spring wheat, the committee said, “durum wheat holds a useful place.” The committee noted Canadian durum production had decreased 60 per cent. in the past four years and agreed) “that it was in the national interest! that this trend be reversed.”
Of Rival wheat, the committee said: “This variety is a high yielder | but is slightly weak in the straw
and tends to shatter when standing in the field and during handling. Quality tests indicate that the handl- ing quality of the dough is different to that of Marquis and Thatcher, and also that it behaves differently in the mill.”
The committee, set up under the national research council of Canada, | works closely with the federal de-| partment of agriculture in dealing | with grain problems.

In reviewing the naval operations, Mr. Alexander announced British submarines have sunk “something like 100 enemy warships and supply ships.”” He said that ‘on one or two occasions a raider has encountered a convoy with inferior {has inflicted relatively heavy loss,” | but “for every convoy thus attacked, scores have come through without molestation,” and “great armies with their equipment have been success- fully shepherded by the navy to the | Middle East without loss of a single ship.”

“All objects of the raid were car- ried out with considerable success. Nine German merchant vessels and one Norwegian ship under German control were sunk and also a German armed trawler. Losses inflicted upon enemy shipping totalled approxi- mately 18,000 tons. The largest unit |}sunk was a German ship of about 10,000 tons which was fully laden.
“Having achieved all their objects |the Allied forces withdrew, bringing with them 215 German prisoners and 10 Quislings. Our forces also brought back to England a considerable num- ber of patriots who were anxious to join their countrymen in fighting for the cause of freedom.

CHAPTER X.
“Please don’t worry,” Madge Fletcher kept saying over and over, one arm around Nancy’s waist. “I’m sure he'll be all right, I'm sure he will.”
Nancy tried to speak, found she could not, and picked up the hat and jacket one of the girls had brought for her from the locker room.
“There's a company car waiting to take you there,” Madge Fletcher went on. “The driver will wait there until—until you’re ready to leave. Don't worry about coming back to the office to-day.”
Nancy nodded, fighting to keep back the tears. The unexpected friendly sympathy from the head stenographer had somehow broken down the reserve she had kept up s0 long. She gave Madge Fletcher's hand an affectionate squeeze and went out to the yard.
Tom Cantwell was there, standing by the door. His lean tanned faced ‘was pale and drawn with anxiety.
“Nancy—I just heard about it. Never mind the company car—TI'll drive you out to the hospital——”
She turned on him in a sudden fury. “I never want to see you again. I never want you to even speak’ to me again, This is your fault, all of it. You got Pat into this. I'll never forgive you, never, as long as I live!”
“Nancy—listen to me——”
She turned and ran blindly to- ward the waiting car, paying no at- tention. The minute its door closed behind her, she burst into tears.
“Go ahead and cry,” the driver said amiably, starting the car. “Get it all cried out of you before you get to the hospital. Then you can go in to see your brother with your face washed and smiling.”
She choked down a sob, and dried |
her eyes. It just wasn’t possible to explain that she wasn’t crying be- cause Pat, her adored brother, had been seriously hurt—but because she
had just told Tom Cantwell she never |
wanted to see him again.
The distance between the Bristow plant and the emergency hospital at the airport was an unbearably long
way. Even though the driver of the!
company car ignored rules and regu- lations about safe driving, it seemed to Nancy that hours passed before they turned into the gravel drive- way leading up to the little building.
She was halfway out of the car before it stopped. The driver called her back.
“Want me to wait for you?”
She shook her head, “I don’t need to go back to the office to-day.”
The emergency hospital was a lit- tle, compact building with white- painted walls and a strong smell of ether. A trim nurse at the recep- tion desk rose to meet Nancy.
“Thorne? He’s in No, 9, down the hall. You can see him in just a few minutes.”
“How badly——’ somehow her throat would not let her say the words,
The trim nurse smiled at her. “He has some bones broken, but he'll pull through all right.” She added, “Miss Bristow is down the hall if you'd like to talk to her.”
Nancy all but ran down the severe little hallway. Iris Bristow stood outside the door of No, 9, her flower- like face pale and drawn.
“Oh Iris, I’m so glad you're here!”
The blonde girl reached out quickly and caught her hand. “Keep your

“That isn’t it. That isn’t all—”’ Nancy caught herself quickly. “How did it happen?”
“Well, it seems Pat was driving down the highway just beyond the airport id
“Driving! Nancy gasped. “He wasn’t flying when it happened?”
Iris Bristow shook her head. “Pat’s |the kind of pilot who breaks his neck on the ground. He’d just left the airport driving someone’s car, | when all of a sudden—” her voice all | at once became hard, “some old, jaloppy came racing out from a side, road without any warning and forced , him into a tree. The driver of the | jaloppy wasn’t in the accident, a! just beat it down the road without stopping.”
Nancy was silent for a moment. An old car, darting out from a side- | road. ‘That had been the method) used to wreck the Bristow trucks. | | Was it possible that the same method | had been employed to—to get rid of; Pat? But if Pat was on the same side, why should there be any at- tempt to get rid of him?
“It looked like something deliber- ate,” Iris Bristow said grimly. “Someone actually trying to break | Pat’s neck for him.”
Nancy turned to the other girl. “Iris — it must have been. Be- cause—”
A white clad nurse appeared in; | the door of No. 9, interrupting her.
“You may come in and see your) brother now, Miss Thorne.”
“Thanks.” She turned to Iris. “Wait for me. I’ve something ter- ribly important to tel you.” Then ribly important to tell you.” Then
There was nothing to be seen of Pat but two bandaged arms, a mass of bright red hair and a wide grin. She went softly up to the bed and stood looking down at him.
“Hello, sis.”
She caught her breath. What hap- |pened? Couldn’t you duck?” | “No. They-—really set out to get |me—this time—” | “They!” | “Yeah—the sabotage ring.” | “But Pat, you—”
“Listen, now. Some people thought | —because I'd gotten so broke all of
a sudden—lI’d be glad to do anything | for money—”
He paused a moment for breath. |In that moment she caught a glim- | mer of the truth, Tom had drawn | Pat into this thing, thinking he'd be | glad of the chance to make money. | But Pat— | “Pat—tell | pretending?” | He stared at her. ‘You thought | 'd—this business of unexplained ac-
me. You were—just
-|cidents to student pilots—some of
| them happening to my pals, maybe feven to—to Iris—you thought I'd | take up with anything like that— | for money?”
| “Oh Pat, forgive me! I've been | such an idiot!”
| He drew a breath. “I pretended— |to play along with them—while I | tried, in my fumbling way, to weasel out some real evidence. Finally I | got enough and I made up a report |and sent it off to the proper author- ‘ities. But evidently I wasn’t smart | enough, because some guy managed | to drive me into a tree to-day.”
| he buried her face in the side of the bed. “I've been terribly stupid.”
“You sure have. You thought that I—
“Please, Pat. I feel so miserable.”
The white-clad nurse reappeared. “You'll have to go now, Miss Thorne. Your brother needs rest.”
“Yes, of course.” She stumbled to- ward the door,
Pat called from his bed, “I won't rest unless I can see Iris first. I know she’s there.”
The nurse smiled in friendly sym- pathy. “All right, but only for a
”
minute.” tow——””
As Nancy paused in the hall she could see Iris’ smooth golden head bending tenderly over the pillow. Maybe, she told herself, things would straighten out for Iris and Pat after all. But never for herself.
What a blow it must have been to Pat to learn that Tom, almost his oldest friend, was mixed up in this ghastly thing. But Pat has gone ahead and done what he had to do. Well, if Pat could be brave, so could she.
Iris Bristow came back; her wide, almost violet eyes shining. “You Thornes are a tough lot. Pat seems to be doing all right.”
“He is. But I’m not.” Suddenly she looked up at the big white-faced clock in the hosptial corridor. “Oh, Tris!”
“What is it?”
The clock said five minutes after 6. It was an hour’s drive back to the John Bristow Company. And that terribly important truck was to leave at 7. Pat’s accident had driven everything else from her mind, now it might be too late.
‘Tris, listen—I’ve got to talk fast. Have you got your car outside?”
“Yes, but Iris paused. “Pat
She turned: “Miss Bris-
.
“Never mind, Pat. He'd want you to do this. Iris, there just isn’t time to talk now—I'll have to ex- plain it as we go along. But) please——”
Iris Bristow looked at her for a} split second. “Okay, Nancy. But it better be good.”
They hurried out to the car and Iris turned it-in the direction of the plant. Nancy drew a long breath and plunged into the story from the very beginning without omitting a thing.
“That truck driver is to leave at 7,” she finished. “Hugo Blake will) be there and he'll have bribed the| driver to let him take his place. I don’t know what they mean to do.”|

Food In Britain
Comparison Of Rations In Great Britain And Germany
Britain can maintain present ra- tions of essential foods, the United States agriculture department said, even if sea warfare slashes imports to 40 per cent. of average pre-war levels for fats and 30 per cent. for bacon and ham and sugar.
The report made a rough compari- son between rations in Great Britain and Germany, meat and sugar—which are rationed in both countries—bread, milk and cheese are rationed in Germany but not in the United Kingdom. Con- sumption of eggs was said to be greatly restricted in Germany, but not so in Britain.
The department said food con- sumption in the United Kingdom was fully up to peacetime standards well into 1940, whereas in Germany con- sumption of fats, meat, eggs and fruit had been more or less restricted for several years.
“On the other hand, the proportion of the population that is actually
buying full rations, at largely un-|
changed prices, is larger in Germany
than in the United Kingdom, where}
food prices since the outbreak of the war have substantially increased.” Commenting on the British ra- tions, the department said the pres- ent restrictions on fats—notably animal fats—appeared “rather seri- ous.” British official quarters say,
the department added, however, that |

Air Raid Casualties
First Seven Months Of Blitzkrieg Killed 23,081 British Civilians Civilian deaths in Britain attribut- able to air-raids numbered 23,081 in the first seven months of blitzkrieg, or at the rate of about 39,500 per annum, causes in England, Wales and Scot- land (military deaths excluded in the last four months) numbered 563,600. So the death of civilians in air-raids are apparently adding about seven
|per cent. to the normal number in
that area. But in addition to the dead, 32,296 people were injured in bombing during the seven months.
In 1897, a 34-pound lobster was caught at Atlantic Highlands.

days in bed—drugged with aspirin and physic, miserable from chills and fever.
But as we submit to our weak- lost, and interruption of routine re- sultant, a sense of quiet, of let-up makes itself felt. I know this is true because a friend has admitted that the one time in the year he enjoys genuine and complete peace is when sick in bed with a cold. For when you are merely laid up with a cold you can be left alone, you require a minimum of attention—rest is the

It is not unusual to see men Germans, Americans, Italians }and Orientals in the same general group. Monocled Germans sit next to Britons in bars and there is no evidence of enmity. Few uniforms are in evidence among foreigners, al- though Portuguese officers and en- listed men are seen frequently.
The problem of language seems al- ways to exist. Foreigners talk with taxi drivers, waiters and barmen with gestures, often offering pictures to convey an idea for which they are unable to find words.
Lisbon is one of the brightest cities on the continent. Streets are illumi- |nated and night clubs are crowded. Spaniards come to Lisbon on vacation trips.

CARBON NEEDS MORE WELLS
There is, if properly located, plenty of water under the Village of Carbon, and good water too, but there appears to be a shortage of wells in town,
During the past few years many ¥¢
good wells have caved in due to lack of repair, and new ones have not been
dug to replace them, Consequently a|#
number of people are now forced to go from one well to another, some- times a considerable distance, to get a pail of water, The situation is ex- asperating to both well owners and water users,
What we need in Carbon is an or- ganized plan to put down more water wells, and for others to make it a point to keep their present wells in repair,
To start with the town is in need of a good old “town pump,” where citizens could get water without de- pending on their neighbor’s supply. This would give well owners the op- portunity to conserve their water sup. ply by closing their wells to users, and at the same time not deprive them of their necessary water supply.
