Although His Majesty'sS birthd ay actually occurs in De-r cember, the celebration and na-0 tional holiday took place June 8tht since he considers this time of the1 year more appropriate for a na-c tion~al holiday.

The designs on the stamps portray a country at war very vividly. The pictures of his Mai esty on the small denominations show hlm in naval, miitary and airforce uni- form, while the ten tent special delivery stamp has a particularly attractive design, showing the Canadian coat-of-arms surround- ed by four flags. . . two Union .Jacks, a naval ensign and an air- force flag. The regular delivery ten cent stamp shows the parlia- ment buildings in Ottawa topped by a Union Jack. Other denomin- ations show tanks, airpianes, des- troyers and corvettes. Several scenes are depictede, most attrac- tive of which are the interior of a munitions factory, a scene at a government airport, and a group of Canadian grain elevators. These attractive designs on Can- adian stamps will be welcome to everyone and will besides bring a certain amount of extra revenue to the government since stamp collectors everywhere will buy blocks of the new stamps. In years to come early copies of this issue COOCHt JOHNSTON& CRYDERMAN, LTD. BO WMAN VILLE wiii be valuable, especially if in blocks. It is moreovar an appro- priate way to celabrata the 75th anniversary of the formation of he Dominion of Canada. STUDENTS GATHER RUBBER Bowmanvilla bigh scbool re- cently held a very successfui rub- ber saivage campaign, when the studants collectad aIl the unuseei rubber thay could find in the ;own and brought it to tha gym- nasium. Since it is now impossible to obtain rubber fromn the Malay States and Straits Sattlemants, rubber reclaim is the only source, outside of the large supply of la- tex or raw rubber in the country last Dacamber with which ta carry on the mechanized war ef . fort and supply civilian need.x rhese last, however must ba cut down. This summer, use last year's running shoas for holiday expeditians and t ry w ea r ingf leather soled shoas as much as possible for ordinary wear. Neyer exposa the pracious rubbar soies you do possess to unnecessary heat and above ail keap them aout of contact with gasoline and ail inluding ouled floors. Altbough smaii supplies of synthetic rubber are being manufactured this cam- modity has not the wearing quai- ity in certain capacities of real rubber. Reclaimn rubber bas an even sharter if e, a reclaim tire would last about 200 miles.

Local merchants show the utmost con- sideration ta purchasers and have a large and varied stock on band. Support home products and local marchants as much as possible. -K- SAVE VOUR FATS The girl guidas are still gather- ing fats of all kinds from bouse- wives in town. The fats ara sold ta the Swift Company whare the fats are traated to maka soap, and tha glycerina from the fat is given ta the governmant for explosivas. Tha fat is mixad with watar or dilute sulpburic acid and heat- ed in a closed vassal callad an autoclave, undar pressure so that a high temperatura (200) can ha sacured. Whan the mixture bas coolad, a solid cake of acid is farmad, insoluble in water. There is a liquid around the solid which consists of water and glycarine. When these are saparatad, the elycerine is used in making nitra- glycerina (used in explosives), anti-freeze,* or in certain medi- cinas. î WHY A MERCHANT SUFFERED FROM HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE Thera was a marchant who ra- fused ta advertisa in bis local newspaper, saying "Nobody raads it," but who constantly sacured bandbilis from some whoiasale bouse, whicb were passad around and placed in the automobiles on the streets. Wýhan the mer- cbant's daughtar got married, bhx went gleafully ta, the office af the nawspapar with a long story about the wedding. The editox set up the type, printad it on 200 bills and sent a group of boys oui witb instructions ta place thea in automobiles standing on the street. 'the marchant, who was subjact to higb blaod pressura, is now thought ta ba convalescing in a haspitai. -K- TRAVELLING CUT DOWN Many commodities wili soan bE ratianed in this country which arE now aither on the "bonor list" o1 ara frealy sold toalal purèhasers - One pleasure soon ta ha ratiane< is traval.

Crawford Noted Canadian musician, who1 will conduct current Toronto1 Conservatory of Music examina- tions in Bowmanville, June 16-17. Mr. Crawford is one of the Con- servatory 's outstanding faculty members and his work as a pro- ducer of light opera is widely known. He is organist and choir- master at Timothy Eaton Memor- ial Church in Toronto. U. S. SUBSCRIBER BRINGS THE EDITOR HUMOROUS STORIES Mr. and Mrs. Chas. L. Brown, Detroit, Mich., are visiting her brother Mr. W. J. Berry. Charlie was rushing the season, beîng the first man to be seen on our main street wearing a straw hat. But he said this was more by accident than design as a gust of wind in Toronto lifted his f elt hat which was demolished under a street car. In his welcome cali on the editor of The Statesman Charlie gave him an 80-page book of humorous stories entitled "That Reminds Me." So for the next year any jokes you see in these columns blame them on Charlie. Here's the first one in the book which is a fair sample of what our*readers may expect: In a Chicago primary a young colored girl asked for a ballot. "What party do you affiliate with?" "What's dat?" "What party do you affiliate with? " "Do I have to answer that?" "You do if you want a ballot." "Den I don't want no ballot. The very idea, why de party I 'filiates with ain't even divo'ced yet."1 JBOOK REVIEWS By Kay O'Neill London Pride by Phyllis Bottome The newest book 15y the author of the Mortgl Storm deals with a London slum f amily during the gfir-raids after the Fail of France. Their stoical endurance, their un- emotional affection for each other and their heroic self-sacrifJce are ail clearly shown. The mother is a Cockney char worpian, the fa- *ther a communist dock-worker, 3and the two grown-up children 1who are self-supporting are in- clined to think that National So- cialism is better than their f a- *ther's beioved communism, ai- though none of them understands *the creed he professes. The most important member of the family as far as the book is concerned is seven-year old Ben, who is sa far from having any creed that ha renquires in bawildermant "Who )is Gawd anyway?" His chief love tis his understanding and bard- working mother. The characters are deftiy drawn, especially those of Ben and his Dmother. London during the Blitz v is portrayed vividly, at timas in- adead with heart-randing reaiity. The book is written simply and sinceraly, with a subtie and very British humour. This coiumn re- commends it very higbly to al] readars. It can be obtained at the e Public Library. ýr Breakfast With the Nikolides S. by Rumer Godden d This book will appeai to a much more limitad audience than Lon- don Pride. Its main distinction is a its characterîzation. Each charac- 3 ter forms a psycholological prob- e m, on which the rather slight nplot rasts. Altbough siightly mar- bid, the book will appeal to those 3s who do not damand an actior 1-plot, but are content to study the s-unusual characters. ýd The setting is India and the understanding of the native mind is one of the best featuras of the 7y book. Into the quiet Indian vil- ty lage, corne Louise Pool and r )e two daughters, saeking refuge Ld from the war which bas driver them fromn Europe, to the home of 'S har husband whom she had left years before. Charles Pool is an agricultural expert, who undar- stands and loves the Indians a: much as his wifa hates and dis- ie trusts them. Louise, at. timas, seems almast a psychopatbic case, while the eider daughter, Emily, il has becoma morbidly introverted kthrough contact with her mothar ks On the whole the book is well 11 written athough its main dlamr idto fame lies in its characteriza. tion.

Dear Editor: Ynur racy description in last week:s Stateâman of the recent changes on the Bowmanviiie higb sehool grounds greatly inter- estad me, and I shouid like to see the campus now. As 1 f irst knew the school 35 years ago, there was no room for a real base bahl or foot bahl game; we had only a narrow strip be- low the slope back of the scbool and that suggasts a story which may nnw be told. The modemn progressive Rubber - Co., which was located south east of the high school, needed more room, and was likely ta, purchase additionai land south of the school grounds. This came to the know- ledge of D. B. Simpson and E. R. Baunsail of the hîgh school prap- arty committea and they, after consuiting chairman W. B. Couch, without waiting for formai. auth- orization, promptiy tank steps ta secure the poperty for the higb school. Hnw pieased and proud we of the schoi were when it came out that the scbool borders wouid be enlarged and we were ta have a reai athietic f ield. Messrs D. B. Simpson and E. R. Bounsali have always been associ- ated in my mind with the en- larged B.H.S. campus. John Eiliott, Principal 1906-13 London, Ont.

Soldier's Letter Toronto Convalescent Hospital, Melita Street, Toronto, Ontario, June 5th, 1942 Dear Mr. James: Just want to write you a f ew lines to say I look forward to receiving The Statesman with a great deai of pride each week. It means just as mucb to me as a latter from home. Now that I am over at the Con- valescent Hospital again I won- der if you wili change my address once again. I came over here from Chorley Park Hospital yes- terday, and I expect I'ii.-e here for some time. They have got to do another operation on me but can't do it for at least three to four months. So you wiil see I have a little time to put in before that time. I amn not sure if tbey are going to keep me here al that time or not. I had a very lovaly surprise last Wednesday when 1 received the formai invitation from Ian Bell to attend the graduation ex- ercises of Emory University, At- lanta, Georgia,on the 3lst of May. He received his B.A. degrea and was awarded a Research Scholar- sbip in Physicai Cbemistry. This wili enabie Ian to get bis Master of Science Degree. I arn reaiiy glad to see Ian getting along 50 well. AVOID WASTAGE when you make tea!
