E. ESS Mrs. K. M. Aitken, director of women's activities at the C.N.E, reported last week that an interest: ing feature of the Women's Build- ing at the 1941 Canadian National Exhibition will be the display of= an original ploneer home of the type from which 80 'many of the leading families of Canada came. This 'exhibit, which will be on dis play In the Alcove of the building, . will recreate for the modern C.N.E. visitor a picture of the humble dally life, the neighborly pleasures, and the hardships which attended ploneer life in early Canada, THINGS PIONEERS USED 4 Old fami}ies of Ontarlo have, says Mrs. Aitken, been most co-operative in loaning to the C.N.E. such things as cooking utensils 1000" yea¥s old, early Canadian costumes, quills, furniture, harpsichords, J Yalsloy shawls and crystal ware which the pioneers brought withi™ them from their-homes In the Old Country, as well as pictures of the grandfathers and great-grandfathers of several Ontario families, who were the ; leaders of the community in their 'day. -- : rE Traffic Grows Method of North American Experts Recommended to Speed Flow of Supplies Along 700 'Mile Burma Road to China N " s Plins to speed 'he flow of sup plies on the Burma road by fn- troduction of the latest North Am- erican. methods got under way re- cently at Chungking. China, as three . dollar-a-year transport ex- perts recommended to China by Washington completed their pre- "parafions to tour the 700-mile life line of Gen. Chfang Kat-Shek's .bat- tiling armies. The experts, Daniel Arnstein and Marco Hellman of New York and * Harold. Davis of Hagtford, Conn. | arrived in Chungking July 12 and will fly today. to Kunniing near the _Burma border. They will be ac- companied by John Earl Baker, American inspector-general of the Burma road. : Lf "Then they will make a leisurely motor trip back to Chungking. ° RESURFACING BEGUN Arnstein sald resurfacing of the road had begun with 10,000 tons of asphalt brought from the United States, and that 40 Chinese pvere being {rained in America as driv- ers. Several hundred other Chinese --goon will -be sent--to-- the United States for training. : ~~ Arnstein estimated it would take six months to achieve operational efficiency although the flow of supplies would be appreciably quickened much before that time. Plenty of Sugar For Canners' Use Canadian Housewives Urged to Can All Surplus Fruits and Vegetables The Dominlon Agriculture De- partment and the Wartime Prices . and Trade Board recently launched a "serve by conserving" campalgn aimed at eliminating waste of frufts =, "Canadians are asked to make! sure that no fruit or vegetables go to waste this summer because they are not gathered or distributed for immediate use or for storing or pre- "Lack of adequate rainfall has - reduced early-ripening crops, -and the. most efficient use must be made of the fruits-and; vegetables coming on the market in the months ahead." _ "SERVE BY CONSERVING" "The statement urged that every housewife make "serve by conserv- ing" her motto in regard to fruits and. vegetables. . 8, R. Noble, sugar administrator under the Prices and Trade Board, sald sugar supplies are "abundant for all preserving needs," despite the wartime disription of many of the, shipping facilities on which Canada normally depends. Sheep Industry's Market Improves There has been a gradual but eady advance in prices paid-for-- ambs during the past eight years, states the 21st Annual Market Re- 'view. From a low point of $4.80 jn 1082, the yearly average for all sheep and. lambs rose to $8.27. per cwt. in 1 40.

Ta Burma Road | em ---- rp Intornitional- Golfers Coinpete For Seagram Gold Cup - Emblem of Canadian Golfing Supremacy Presented to the R.C.G.A. in 1936 by The House of Seagram At Lambton_Golf Club, outside of Toronto, on the 7th, 8th and 9th of August, the Canadian Open Golf Championship = is holding its 1941 tournament, World famous golfers, during these three days, will compete for. the highest honor in Cana- dian golfing history, for the winner of "this tournament this year will have his name inscribed on the Scroll of Honour within . ! the Seagram Gold Cup, which wag presented six years ago to - the Royal Canadian GoM Asso&igthon dy The I ; An gram, for annual competition. ' il Since the cup was presented in 1936, the names of the most 'famous American golfers have been inscribed on the parchment scroll. First there was Lawson Little, then "Light- | horse" Harry Cooper; in 1938 Sam Snead -- :and in 1939 Harold: "Jug" MeSpaden; then in 1940, Sam Snead again. Since the Seagram Trophy was presented, there has _probably never been in the annals of Canadian "golf history such a gathering of world" famous golfers as there has been - in these Canadian Open Golf tournaments. Players who have made golfing history in many countries of the world, have ~_.|° taken part in this tournament.' . The cup' itself stands twenty-two inches from the bottom of the, base to the top of the cup. It was designed by the same firm which, in 1897, mnde the beautiful casket which Torontonians may still remember was presented by the City of Toronto to Queen Victoria, on the otcasion of her Diamond Jubilee. One of the features of the.cup is that its outstanding design, workmanship and materials are one hundred per cent a Canadian. Standing on a massive base of onyx, is the gold casket within which is thé parchment scroll, where the names -- of the winners are inscribed from year to-year. Thif design Ig similar to the owe sent to Queen Victoria. The gold casket is mounted on 'heavily chased silver feet and at the four - - corners, heavy Corinthian columns. Beavers act as supporters * of the casket and the Coat of Arms of Canada, beautifully exe- cuted, appears on the front. Surmounted on this base, is the Seagram Cup itself, also Grecian in design and made of gold. } The cup is of exceptional design, with a beauty that is seldom seen in athletic trophies. There will be many thousands of people 'following, with great interest, the performances of Canada's most famous golfers as well as the golfers from the United States and other countries, who are competing now in this tournament. Any-. ~~ where on the course, during these three 'days, such names as Gene Sarazen, Horton Smith, Ray Mangrum, Lex Robson, Kerr, Bobby Gray -- and many other equally famous golfers will "be Seen making record-breaking rounds in competition =F with one another, for the-honor-of-winning-the Canadian-Open--_ Championship for 1941 and the Scagram Gold Cup. ~ : - Modern Etiquette BY ROBERTA LEE t |{How Can I? ~ "BY ANNE ASHLEY Q.
