Premier Aberhart, minister of Edu- cation, has introduced a bill in the Legislature to have vacations start July 1 this year and extend into Oc- tober to make teachers and students available for harvesting duties on Al- berta farms, After this year, if the bill passes, schools will remain open during July and holidays will begin August 1st. The bill also provides teachers shall be paid their salaries in 12 equal mon- thly instalments, beginning with their salary for the month of September. The bil] also provides for elimina- tion of certain holidays so as to make up the time lost through the extended summer vacation. It also provides that Easter holidays, usually of 10 days, be eliminated and in 1944, Easter Mon- day will be the only vacation of that period. It also takes from school boards the power to grant holidays on Ash Wednesday, the King’s birthday, Labor Day, Arbor Day and other spe- cially designated holidays throughout the year, It is estimated that between 20,000 and 25,000 boys of high school age BETTER GRAIN YIELDS WITH CERESAN THE ONE SEED DISINFECTANT Safe to Seed and Drill — Improves Yields Costs Only a Few Cents an Acre ALSO COPPER CARBONATE AND FORMALDEHYDE See Us For Your Seed Treating Requirements ! e YOU'LL DO BETTER AT THE FARMERS’ EXCHANGE RED AND WHITE STORE Mother: “Did you make anything out of the conversation you over- heard between your sister and her beau?” Kid Brother: “Yeah, a quarter.” KEEP FIT ON THE HOME FRONT WITH PURETEST VITAMIN PRODUCTS Halibut Liver Oil Capsules....90c A,B,D, and G Capsules 1,00 Cod Liver Oil, pure, ....75¢; 1.25 Cod Liver Oil Fortified 1,00 SOAPS AT SPECIAL SAVINGS.

Strange IMPROVE THE WHEAT CROP The large surplus of wheat, coupled with the sudden demand for more live. stock products, has caused some per- sons to think that wheat has had its great day, and that now, less attention need be paid to wheat, mankind's fin- est food, This, I believe, is an entirely wrong idea, Such investigation as I have been able to make into the food require- ments of the people of the World, con- vinces me that there will be needs for immense quantities of wheaten bread when this war is over, There will be, of course, competition to supply these needs, Several wheat growing coun- triesbesides Canada have millions of acres upon which they can grow more wheat, And so once again in the fut. ure, just as in the past, QUALITY will increase sales, TODAY, therefore, is the time for the farmer to lay his plans to improve the quality of his future wheat crop. Nothing will accomplish this better than for each farmer to sow a few bushels of Registered or Certified seed n a few acres of clean summerfal- lowed land, In two or three years a farmer who does this will find a con- siderable improvement in the quality of his wheat, which will certainly in- crease his income, If the majority of farmers would follow this simple and inexpensive plan, then Canada’s export wheat sales will certainly tend to in- crease, 0 LINE ELEVATORS SUPPLY MILITARY CAMPS WITH BOOKS During the depression years, The North-West Line Elevators Associa- tion established 357 circulating librar- ies at line elevators located throughout the drought-stricken areas of the prairie provinces, More than 22,000 volumes dealing with fiction, history, economics and related subjects were contained in the libraries, These books were available without charge to all farmers and the libraries were chang- ed periodically in order to furnish each district with new reading from time to time, 2.00; Mrs, Priebe .50; Master James Priebe .50; Roy Schultz 2.50; F.

In Nazi Germany A FEW WEEKS AGO the German people observed the tenth annt+| versary of the founding of the National Socialist regime. As everyone | knows, this unauspicious anniversary was marked by a powerful attack on! Berlin by British and Canadian bombers, and by news of serious German defeats in Russia and Africa, The dismal and apologetic radio addresses arranged by leaders of the Nazi party, were interrupted by the crash of British bombs, and it appeared that the day could in no way have been called one of happy celebration by the German people. In his early years in office, Hitler assured his people that the policy of his party was not to involve the country in war, nor to conquer and annex other nations. Yet after ten years nearly 5,000,000 Germans have died on foreign battlefields in Hitler's wars of aggression, and many thousands are homeless because of air attacks. * * . . In connection with the progress of the German) people under the Hitler regime, some very in-| teresting facts and figures have recently been given out by the British Ministry of Informa- The lot of the farmer has appeared to decline steadily in the past ten years. It is said that between 1932 and 1939 the number of men en- gaged in farm work decreased by one million, and the decline has continued since that time. Industrial workers have also had a difficult time. In 1933 all Trades Unions were abolished, their funds being seized and their leaders arrested. All workers’ rights were also abolished, overtime work became! general and the number of i~dustrial accidents rose from 327,000 in 1932, to 1,766,000 in 1938. Workers’ Lot Has Declined tion. * c 7 . > Malnutrition is said to have increased greatly ° Public Health among German workers and there has been a decline in the standard of national health. In. the past ten years, deaths from scarlet fever, infantile risen by 200%; mortality among children between the ages of one and five has increased by 12%, and of children between five and ten by 2507. Under the republican system of government in Germany there was one medical doctor to every 1,300 people, but in 1941, there was only one doctor to every 15,000 people. These facts shows clearly that living conditions under Nazi rule are far from happy for the common people, and they serve to remind us again of the When we compare conditions here with Record Poor paralysis and other contagious diseases have things for which we are fighting. those in Germany today, we see that we must at all costs make sure that it is our way of life which survives this war. HEALTH LEAGUE OF CANADA THREE SQUARE MEALS A DAY THREE NUTRITIOUS MEALS a day are needed by every worker for maximum health, This is particularly true of war workers who must main- tain their health at a high standard to prevent absenteeism, accidents and attain better production Accepting full responsibility for our personal health and that of our families necessitates planning and providing three good meals a day. Those who live away from home can accept the same responsibility through careful selection of meals and allowing adequate time in which to eat Breakfast is usually the worst meal of the day. Many workers dash off to work after bolting a slice of toast and a cup of tea. Imagine toiling at heavy manual labor all morning with practically nothing for breakfast! Good meals to be enjoyed and used to best advantage by the worker must provide foods selected for their nutritive value, be well-cooked and served in attractive, pleasant irroundings in a cheerful atmosphere. Manage- ment owes it to workers to provide such facilities for their meals in the plant What the worker will select for his noon meal or take in his well-filled lunch box will depend upon what he has for his other two meals. A total day's food supply should contain the following foods: (1) A pint of milk, that is, two glasses of ilk, and you can count cheese or buttermilk as part of that (2) A ser zs of meat, poultry or sea foods. (3) One egg. (4) An orange, or tomat "a serving of grapefruit, orange juice, tomato juice or raw cabbage One or more servings of leafy green or yellow vegetable uch as ke cress, carrots, etc. (6) Two or more servings of potatoes, other y bles or fruit (7) A serving of whole grain cereals, such as 1 its, cracked wheat, etc Bread should be of the whole wheat variety 8) Fats, such as butter, with added vitamin A, and such other foods a i may want to satisfy the appetite, including of course a sufficient amount of water to drink Make sure of your three squares a day and you'll do a better job Write the Western Division Health League of Canada, 111 Avenue Road, Toronto, for your free, authoritative Vitamin Chart. rr THE GREATER MENACE PART OF LESSONS | The Nazis are reviving the old cry Since salvage was introduced into “We are saving the world from lessons at Marnhull, Dorsetshire, Bolshevism Caught in a trap of his,Church of England school, pupils| own making, says the Ottawa Citizen, Hitler is whistling to keep up his courage.

Sleeping sickness of horses in Sas- katchewan was first recognized as such in 1935 when a fairly extensive outbreak occurred. In 1936, few cases appeared, but in 1937, a second and more extensive epidemic occurred, from two cases, and later proved by blood tests that the entire outbreak was due to the same germ as equine encephalomyelitis. In Saskatchewan alone, 550 persons contracted the dis- ease; eight per cent. of these died. limited knowledge of how the human! infection occurs. It is true, however, | that the elimination of this disease in the horse, undoubtedly a virus reser- voir when infected, appears to be} sound practice, and this can only be, done by vaccinating each year. No one} can predict what may happen in the} future in regard to human or equine outbreaks, but, if the behaviour of | the horse disease is any criterion we | must not expect that the human dis- ease will never recur, There are a number of points in connection with the equine and the human outbreaks that are very simi- lar indeed. For example when the | |equine disease first appeared in Sas-| katchewan it undoubtedly travelled from the northern United States to |Manitoba and then to the southern part of Saskatchewan.

Propaganda Programs \Sent By Axis Radio Stations In Europe And Aimed At Canada Axis radio stations in Europe are aiming propaganda programs at French-Canada and at certain na- tionalistic minorities in the prairie provinces, W. Gladstone Murray, former director-general of broadcast- ing for Canada, declared. Murray said these Axis broadtasts contain offers of independent forms of government in the so-called new order of Nazi world control. Canada still has no short-wave radio transmitter, Murray told the Business & Professional Women’s Club of Toronto, and is unable to communicate any message of hope or encouragement to the conquered peo- ples of Europe. On the other hand, Murray said, the enemy is using the short wave for the dissemination of rumors in Canada. Fortunately, their lack of human appeal and humor, rather than any counter-measures, have saved the situation, Murray added. Buy War Savings Certificates.

This was an- nounced by officials of the deputy quarter-master general's office, a ten-day test. No hunger nor loss of weight developed, it was stated. Following decision to provide a Canadian Army Mess Tin Ration and a Canadian Army Emergency Ration for issue to the Canadian Army in Canada and Newfoundland, the De- partment of National Defence stand- ing committee on nutrition was asked | to draw up a list of suitable and nec- essary items. In its preparation, the committee was instructed to produce plans for a mess tin ration on which a soldier could subsist for periods up to ten days. During this period it was explained that men would en- gage in manoeuvres of strain approxi- mating that of actual combat and still maintain a peak of fighting effici- ency. Both rations now are being assembled for general issuance. Personnel taking part in the tests; were divided into groups. Each com- prised one officer, one non-commis- sioned officer and 18 men. All were chosen from seasoned infantry bat- talions. The men, all between the ages of 21 and 30, were sound ment- ally and physically. Each had demon- strated in two years’ or more of train- ing that he was well disciplined, of good morale, and of equable tempera- ment, Regiments from which they had been chosen had been on active service for at least two and a half years and were fully trained.

Each group went through five basic exercises, involving a daily march of 18 to 24 miles. When weather made bush tactics impossible, route marches of length requiring equal exertion were substituted. Throughout trials, each man carried full battle order. On a recording sheet carried, each man was required to note the order and amounts of food which he ate at each meal, Also noted was his gen- eral impression of the ration, his rea- sons for comments made, and any con- structive suggestions.

A Helping Hand Airplane Wing Development _ Made By Canadian Inventors Makes Modern N these days of world-girdling air journeys Flights Possible and stratospheric aerial fighting between swift-circling and darting planes few people realize that the wing development making such flight possible was perfected in a little Canadian village just 35 years ago The “aileron,” or small wing flap which enables plane to bank and make quick turns in full flight, was the invention of “Aerial Experiment Assoc ‘iation,” a group formed by Dr. Alex ander Graham Bell at his Cape Breton Home, Beinn Breagh, near Baddeck, on October 1, 1907. Dr. Bell was already well known; to fame from his invention of the telephone. Born in Edinburgh, Scot- land, in 1847, he came to Canada in 1870.

He and Henri Farman, great French Pioneer of aviation, named the aerial wing development of 1907 the “aileron”. Dr. Bell and his associates had in- vented it in the course of their ex- periments with a small powered “kite"’, when they discovered that, While they could make short flights of 100 feet or so they must have some form of lateral control, They placed small movable sections on the edge of the wings which, when the craft tipped, would be automatic- ally depressed or raised by the sway of the operator's body—the pilot was suspended in the structure in those days—and thus bring the plane back to an even keel. Mr. McCurdy thus describes the introduction of this development to aviation generally: “It was around Sept. 1, 1908. The American Aero Club invited Henri Farman, premier flyer of Euorpe, to demonstrate to the American public the machine which he had been successfully fly- ing near Paris. “His exhibition took place at a race course just outside of New York City. Farman took off and flew at an ele- vation of about five feet, flew for about 100 yards and landed. His mechanic turned the machine around by hand and flew back. “I met him after he left the pilot's seat and asked him why he could not fiy higher and make circles around the track, as we had been throughout the summer. that it was impossible because the plane would tip over. He spoke broken English and I had no French so I had great difficulty explaining to him how we had overcome this by invention of the moveable wing tips. “It was only when I used the words ‘little wings’ that he exclaimed: ‘ah, ailerons,’ and a smile spread over his whole face, Newspaper doing He replied men present were interested in the discussion that they so | picked up that word and spread it in ! the papers next morning. The appel- lation has remained ever since.” Mr. McCurdy, tall, spare and now | somewhat grizzled but youthful and keen, has given his life to the de- velopment of aviation and still con- | tributes, He remains one of the closest links | With the life and experiments of Dr. | Bell who, | while |; was landed }the Bras d'Or | termined to make by en route chance of shipwreck to England in 1886, Cape Breton, visited Lake in region and his home on a hill- side near Baddeck, naming it “Beinn Breagh,” gaelic de- which may roughly be translated as “Beautiful Hill.” There he built a substantial home and experimental laboratories.

Fight Against Submarines ls Just Beginning London,—Indications have multiplied that Germany is now pushing her greatest submarine offensive since the spring of 1917 in an effort to delay the impending Anglo-American invasion of Europe until her armies can make a final attack to crush Russia. London and Washington released, almost simultaneously, vivid descrip- tions of two past battles between Allied warships and German sub- marine “wolf packs,” possibly to pre- pare the public for the bitter battles to come which the Allies must win, most observers believed, before they can attack Hitler’s “European fort- ress.” At least 14 submarines were sight- ed on the surface and many others) were known to have been beneath the surface during a three-day running attack on an Allied convoy in the north Atlantic last month, the British | admiralty revealed. Another wolf pack of at least six submarines was reported by the U.S. navy department to have been laying in wait for another Allied convoy in Woman Stowaway —Photos Copyright, 1943.

A bliny is exactly like a pancake. Ancestors of present-day Russia organized festivals in honor of the sun—the sun that was warming the earth and reviving nature and spring flowers. The festivals were built around the eating of round cakes in honor of the sun. The bliny-eating tradition con- tinued through all of Russia's wars, sufferings and_ revolutions. Blinys were served in all restaurants and houses in Russian cities and in al- most every village. Before the war, when flour was not rationed, Russians ate blinys every day during the week-long cele- brations. At their best, the blinys were served with Russian caviar and vodka, and the Russians would eat so many early in the week that they became practically exhausted by the end of the seven days. But, they kept at it nevertheless: —Canadian Army Photo.

It is the intention of the League to awaken Canadian citizens from coast to coast to the need for increased vegetable growing in 1943. It is pointed out that there will, in all probability, be a scarcity of certain commercially grown vege- tables in Canada this year. The rea- sons for this are: 1. The export of large quantities of processed vegetables to our over- seas forces and to the people of the United Kingdom. 2. A decline in commercial grow- ing due to labor shortage and trans- portation problems. One answer to the problem, says the Health League, is the home vege- table garden. That part of the popu- lation living in rural sections will probably continue to grow their own vegetables. City dwellers, however, are urged to put their backyards to good use by planting vegetables this year. By so doing they will relieve any possible shortage, as well as gain a fascinating hobby. The Minister of Agriculture, the Hon. J, G. Gardiner, states: ‘We of this Department fully endorse the en- couragement of backyard and com- munity gardens in 1943, and have al- ready communicated with provincial departments of agriculture suggest- ing that encouragement be given to such projects this year.” Provincial Departments of Agricul- ture, Education and Health, have ex- pressed their endorsation of this cam- paign. Hog Production Industry Has Not Reached An AIll- Time Record The number of hogs on Canadian farms reached an all-time record on December 1, 1942. There were on that date 7,750,600 hogs on farms. Of that number 5,298,900 were under six months of age, and 2,451,700 over six months old. The number on farms as at December 1, 1941, was 6,527,300 and on December, 1938, 3,569,000. The expansion in the hog industry which has been under way since the outbreak of war was maintained dur- ing 1942 in all the provinces except Ontario, where a minor decline oc- curred. In that province, however, as well as in all the others ,the num- bers of sows expected to farrow dur- ing the spring of 1943 show a marked rise over those of a year ago, Fur- ther very substantial increases in hog production are indicated for the Prairie Provinces. In the Maritime Provinces, although numbers are very much smaller than in the Prairie Provinces, a sharp increase in hog production is indicated.

For instance, take the word “crooned,”’ That the words of a song should be crooned is often thought not to date back beyond Bing Crosby, but readers of Char- lotte Bronte’s “Jane Eyre” know bet- ter than that. When Jane received @ song of his somewhat coldly, Roch- ester immediately retorted that “any other woman would have been melted to marrow at hearing such stanzas crooned in her praise.” Even that overlooked expression, “Says you,” or more collaquially “Sez you,” appeared in at least one of |Dickens’ novels.

CHAPTER XII ONSIEUR Andre Ribott, eight days out of Bir Mazoul, was at peace with the world. The renegade, seated beside a glowing fire, had just finished his evening meal. Beside him sat Lt. Kolb and Annette Fournier. Behind the trio stood a soldier, the guard who had kept the French girl under sur- veillance ever since Ribott had de- livered her into the hands of the Ger- Mans. A moon shone over the plain on which the sheep were being rested for the night. A ridge of curving dunes foreshortened the southern horizon, and in a portion of the northern sky a patch of cloud was drifting toward the east. If that cloud increased, reflected Ribott, it could afford their unwilling shepherds an opportunity to slip unseen into the shadows of the relatively near-by dunes. He laughed, knowing how faint that danger was. All the water of the caravan was on the trucks behind the barracked camels not a hundred yards to the left of Ribott, and it had been fear of the arid desert as much as the guns of the Germans that had forced the berbers into sub- mission. Even now, out of the darkness, one at of the burnoosed men was skirting the edge of the bunched sheep, re- turning to the campfire of his fellows where there was food and drink, when he could have chanced the insecurity of the unknown gherds. The Kahiri about the blaze shift- ed to allow the man in the burnoose to squat on his haunches and dip into @ bowl of couscous, As the new- comer ate, he counted the men circled about the fire. Eight, in addition to himself—enough for his purpose. The empty bowl was set aside; the man belched and shifted his kufiya to gaze at the small cloud floating across the stars. “Sheik Ismeddin is dunes.” The words were spoken barely The housewives of Canada, ever anxious to provide attractive and nourishing meals for their families, CORN STARCH Ss A product of the CANADA STARCH COMPANY, Limited SANDS OF HAZARD jat the Lonely Well? |have you that our sheik lives?” among the!

But you were the enemy of Ismeddin—the killer of Mustafa. We cannot believe you come from our leader.” “Of that, too, I have proof,’ smiled Storey, and from under his burnoose came a loaded pistol that was pressed into the hand of the surprised Berber. “Sheik Ismeddin sends you this.” THER weapons came from beneath the American's cloak. The guns passed around the dimming fire, van- ishing under jerd and aba as Storey whispered the instructions of Ismed- n. The first to stroll away from the fire was Storey himself. The cloud was nearing the moon. He shuffled aimlessly toward the other camp fire. One of the shadowy figures about the blaze stood up. Storey’s pulse quickened as he recognized Annette. There were two men seated on the ground and one of them grunted in German. A soldier in the background stepped beside the girl, wrapped a rope about her wrists, then escorted her to the door of a tent several yards away. Annette disappeard inside the tent jand the soldier stationed himself |squarely before the entrance. Lt. Kolb might keep a lax watch on the ;unarmed Kahiri, but he was deter- mined that Annette Fournier should loud enough to be heard by the near- est Arab. “When that cloud touches THIS CERTAINLY 1S / ROVAL IS CERTAINLY WONDERFUL Just 2° a day ensures sweet, tasty bread WRAPPED AIRTIGHT TO PROTECT STRENGTH PURE, DEPENDABLE! |not escape him. | A wisp of cloud swirled toward |the moon, but dipped away.
