THUIÈSDAY, MARCH 14TH, 1940 THE CANADIAN STATESMAN, BOWMANVILLE, 1NTARIO PAGE NMN Manufacturers of packaged goods are making larger pack- ages - this .4n a purpose to lower bath production casts and consumer prices. Thus, by way of illustration, n.iik is being put imta 2-quart botties. Maxweil Hause coffee is being put up in glass containers holding a pound and a hall. A much advertised àtoilet soap is being offered in a larger size.' A maker of tooth brushes puts f wa brushes in a transparent ,eope or container, thie two sold at a less price than twc he price of one when sold singly. They caîl these larger units "ecanamy size" pack- ages. Clearly, small-size units cost mare ta produce, and therefore their consumer price must be correspondingly higher. The time is caming when you can buy luminous or glowing carpets - carpets which shine mn the dark. Already "'glow" car- pets are ta be found in sleeping cars, theatres, and other darken- ed or dark places. TIiese luminous carpets are made with dyes which absorb ultra-violet light. The dyed wool when woven into a carpet gives ouf the absarbed light when ul- tra-violet light from concealed lamps faîls on the carpet.

A big ship ac- cumulates a hundred tans of barnacles in the course of a year, and it cost $100,000 ta remove them. The growing mass of barn- acles and other sea creatures of the sticky sort may reduce the speed of a ship as much as 50%. And it is not just the casf of getting ships' bottoms scrapted, and the lasses arising from e- duced speed; paint, metal and wood suffer from.the action of sea water and from their affec- tionate barnacles. I suppose that every woman considers herself ta be a com- petent tea-maker - and, pro- bably also, coffee maker. What, then, will a woman say ta this way of making tea? AUl tea should be made in a pot. The pot should be scalded, but the tea should not be dropped in bef are the rapidly boiling water is ready. If should be paured over the leaves, and in from three ta five minutes they should be taken out. The authority for making tea this way is Mrs. Charles Stuart Ramsay - formerly a Miss Ger- trude Ford from near Toronto. Mrs. Ramsay is a prof essional tea-taster and tea-blender. She imports her own teas from India and other countries. Ail her blends are sold in tea bags. Her company is located in New York City, and she has over 300 hotels, restaurants, clubs in the United States as her custamers. Holland's Zuider Zee - a spac- ious inlet-is being made smaler by the building of dikes, and the fillmngim of these enclosures aiter the water has been pumped from them. In other words, Hol. land is reclaiming watery wasfes, t0 make them land for farming and industry. One of these "pold- ers" now contains 48,000 acres of fertile soil. The Dutch cail this polder "The .Promised Land." Villages have been builf an this soil. Another polder is in course of reclamation, and will contain 132,000 acres. Another project will reclaimn 140,000 acres; and stiil another wiil add 230,000 acres ta Holland's land acres. It is estimated fliat by 1960 Holland will have made homes for some 300,000 Dutch people, and wilI have created 6,000 economîc holdings - ail needed for a nation which eats two meals of bread daily. When I was a youngster it was common ta have a ballanisf on 24th of May and July 1sf pro- grammes, for the public's holiday entertainment. If was thriliing to see the balloon being filled with gas, and ta see the bailoonisf as- cend skywards, performing feats on a trapeze. Last month flhc most famous of the balloonists on this continent died. His name was Harry Honey- well. He won many balloon races, and was a tramner of balloan observers during the World War No. 1. In an international race in Europe in 1912 his balloon travelled 1260 miles ,from Stutt- gart in Germany, ta Moscow. Haneywell began life as a printer, but he dreamed of flying through the air as he worked at the printers' case, and began studying aeranautics. Later he joined the navy as a musician. Then, becaming assocated with a French of ficer, he began ta be a balloonist. In ail his long ex- periences as a balloonist he neyer suffered an injury nor was forced ta land in water; yet he was in the energy they need for this PRONEC 2665 .can be found in this 'IM Glen Rae MiIk with more active days ahead, your youngsters need G1sn Ras Mlk more than ever 1 Be sure they gel their fui! quart regularly, every day 1 Bowmanville IRUD - AND WRITE - FOR YOU By John C. Klmkwood [haj thers Say NATIONAL GOVERNMENT (Midland Free Press) We regret that Mr. King did not choose the other alternative whîch was ta hand. From the out- set of hostilities we have feit that in time of war party politics should be forgotten and that the strongest possible national gov- ernment should have been form- ed. Outstanding men of ail par- ties or of none, on whose brains and organizing ability qualify them ta direct our struggle for national existence, should have been drafted into the new govern- ment. Waging a war is not a proper function of any party. Ail must be for the state in perilous days like the present. THEY CAN'T TAKE IT (Newmarket Era) The editor of The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanviile, has run afoul of his town council again. Apparently the council in that town is super-sensitive and can't bear ta have anyone disagree with its actions. Same town councils are like that. Others are like the Newmarket town counicil and look ta the press ta discuss municipa'l questions ta the best of the edi- tor's ability, andi ta help ta arouse interest in the public business. The Era frequently criticizes (fa-c vorably sometimes, unfavorably sometimes) actions of the New-L market town council, and we have always rather had the impression that the councillors not only could1 take it but liked it. In the English pari iamlentary1 system the press is traditionally1 recognized as the "fourth estate."9 The other three estates are, we1 believe, the commons, the lords1 temporal and the lords spititual. The press may influence public policy by preparing the way for new departures, by helping ta maintain public approval of es- tablished practices and institu- tions or by criticizing favorably or unfavorably actions taken by public bodies. The influence of the press is limited by the sound- ness and the reasonableness of the views it expresses, and is not ta be feared. Perhaps anc reason that the Bowmanville town council may not like suggestions from the edi- tor of the Statesman is that the editor is a former mayor and councillor and speaks with know- ledge and experience. In other words, he may be right fao often ta suit his coleagues of the "first" estate. WHAT IS THE SOLUTION? <Elora Express) Glad ta see that Bride Broder, popular commentator on th e Globe and Mail, has added her pratest ta that of the Bowman- ville Statesman, the Express, and others, regarding the economlc stupidity of so many outside city bakeries being allowed to trade anywhere they like in aur smail- er towns. Bowmanvllle has six- teen or so, Elora at least six, and most Ontario towns face the same situation. Bride Broder oints ouf again that this is the J~d of t hing which "kills the goose that laid the golden egg," as evcry small town wanfs more workers, imore people in their own indus- Ill 11 ýý rnany terrific storrns, and once was in the air for 48 hours. It is probable that among my readers are flot a few who want ta write for a living - perhaps short stories, perhaps scri_»ts for the movies, perhaps for the news- papers, perhaps ta become world travellers and tdilers of tail tales. I encourage no man, no wom- an, ta take up writing as a voca- tion - as a means of making a livelihood. Only 1 in 1,000> of those who write books earn mare than a starvation wage, says one authorative writer, and the aver- age sale af ail books is about 1,200 copies. But nofhing can discourage the would-be writer in the early days of his ambition and dreaming. Accordingly I want ta recom- mend ta those young persans who are determined ta try ta write for nlioney or for f ame a very goad book - "If You Should Want Ta Write," by Mrs. Alice Ross Colver, and publislhed by Dodd, Mead & Company. Mrs. Colver herself is the author of many books - books for girls, novels, short stories and articles, 50 she writes from knowledge. Her book is described as being "a handbook for begining auth- ors. Part I has for its theme "While You Are Young;" Part II "When Yau Are Older." In addition ta what Mrs. Colver herself writes are the fit les of numeraus recommended books at the end of the chapters. When one can get for $2 or so, in book form a tremendous a- mount of instruction and direc- tion, then it is just sfupidity flot ta use the knowledge and exper- ience of others. Was Cinderella's shoe made of glass? I have forgotten. If it was made of glass, then the concep- tion .yas fanciful. But now - now - shoes are actually being made of glass - in Germany. The glass shoe is made from nan-splintering plexiglass; the heel is made of liard glass; and the sale and top of flexible glass - glass which is just as soft and pliant as good leather. You see whaf it means. The wearer of the glass shoe dare nof have hales in the heels and taes of his socks, and the woman wiil have ta wear holeless- stock- ings - this, of course, if thp glass be colourless and transparent. Glass shoes may be good for their maker, but what about the man who repairs shoes? But we need not worry much for the present. By most of us the leather shoes wiil continue ta be boughf - the leather shoe with its merciful concealments! s M..VRLE tries. Sa she asks whether the present practice is "economic wis- dam." The answer seemis fa be, No. Pioneer communities thrave because in greaf measure fhey consumed mosf of whaf fhey pro- duccd. But if the solution is put-z ting a license on outside bakeries doing business la other than teir own towns, whaf about the huge deparfmental stores la cities? Elora used ta have her own saddlers, failors, boofmakers, mil- liners, dressmakers, maltsters and9 a carpet facfomy, employing many1 hands. But thaf day has gond neyer ta refumn. Whaf the wise solution is does not appear cleamly,i but what's happening is fao clear.1 Big capital and big business, un- less curbed, may evcnfuafly con- tral-through branches-Most of flic retail merchandising in small towns.

VOUR HOSPITAL Between the years 1920 and 1930, great impetus was given ta hospital construction in Canada and the United States due ta, changing attitude of the public towards hospital care which fol- lowed as a natural result of the great scientific medical advances and improvements of hospital ser- vice during the early years of the twentieth century. Sa great in- deed was the increase in this field that to-day the investment in hospitals and equipment repre- sent more than $3,500,000,000, giv- ing ta North America hospital protection âid coverage second ta, none in the world. Out of this great construction period, certain lessons *wer e learnt regarding, among many other things, the best type of hos- pital site and construction.
