Half Million Plastic Plant Fire Loss Ottawa, March 12--(OP)-- Plans were under consideration today for possible rebuilding the plant of Plastics and Chemicals, Ltd,, in sub urban Eastview, destroyed with its highly-inflammable contents in less than an hour yesterday by a fire pe did estimated damage of Today only part of the front wall of the building still stood and 80 employees were left temporarily without jobs, However, it was un- derstood the 10ss was partly covers ed by insurance and the Montreal head office of the firm would prob- ably order reconstruction of the Slat} Which manufactured plastic products. About 40 employes were on duty : | When the fire broke out in the elec- tric power plant and spread quickly 'through the building but no one was injured. Some employees left per- Jona belongings in making a hasty exit. The Eastview fire department, as- sisted by apparatus from Ottawa, fought the flames more than an hour but found th lves helpless to stop the spread of the fire. Dressing Gowns Held Unessential London, Eng.--Sir Stafford Cripps, president of the Board of Trade, yesterday declined to mo- dify his department's ruling that dressing gowns are non-essential articles of clothing. Sir Stafford Cripps was reply. ing to a questioner in the House of Commons who said high coupon value had almost stopped produc. Those that were produced were almost like raincoats, In the present circumstances, said the minister, dressing gowns must be regarded as "relatively unessential for all but infants and young children."

In these, seeds are planted fairly early in March and after transplanting and hardening off they are ready to set outdoors when weather and soil are warm. Such things as cabbages, tomatoes, head lettuce, cucumbers, etc, are handled this way, among the vegetables, and petunias, zin- nias, cosmos, among the flowers. Indeed any plant that will trans plant can be started in these beds and from three weeks to a month " 80 of extra growing season add- The hot bed consists of a deep layer of fresh horse manure to sup- ply the heat, Over this is placed a rough frame of boards, and on top is placed a window sash. A good government bulletin will supply all details. On the manure is placed about 2 inches of good garden soil and in this, after the manure has heated and cooled again, the seed is planted in rows about 3 inches apart. : In' the window box, which is a shallow affair about 3 inches deep, only good soil is necessary. After the seed has sprouted and developed a second set of leaves the plants are thinned to about 2 inches apart, On warm days some ventil- ation should be provided and the soil should never be allowed to dry out. After the plants are about 2 inches high they are usually trans- planted to roomier quarters, and for at least a couple of weeks they should be hardened or made ready for permanent planting outside by being exposed to full weather. ' Nursery Stock All shrubs, trees, bushes, vines, etc, that are grown or started in a commercial nursery are termed nursery stock. 'There is a wide range in price and just as wide in quality, The real test is whether or not the stock will grow quickly and sturdily, If the roots are dry and the upper part of the plant shrivelled, brownish and lacking buds, then one can be quite sure he paid too much for the stock, It will probably die or take three or four years to get really growing. Healthy stock, on the other hand, will come along quickly with hardly a check, if handled carefully. Plants, shrubs, vines, etc., should be kept cool and moist and if they cannot be planted in their perman- ent location right away they should be "heeled in", that is temporarily planted in a trench with the soil heaped up well above the roots. When replanting it is advisable to supply plenty of water and keep watered for the first few weeks. Planting is best done in the cool of the evening or on dull days, and some shade from hot sun is advis- able with tiny things. Good Combinations For the average layout, use a combination of vines, shrubbery, trees, perennial flowers and an- nuals, At the back against the house, vines and tall shrubbery, the latter planted in clumps, make the best . In front of this groups of smaller shrubs and larger perennial flowers can be planted with the room between, especially when the shrubbery is still small, filled in with clumps of annuals. Along the front tiny edging plants are used, then will come a piece of green lawn. Use clumps rather than strarght rows and a wavy edge along the front of the bed is pre- ferred to straight edges.

STORAGE ONION BULBS Storage experiments at the Do- minion Experimental Station, Mor- den, Man., indicate that continu- ously cool (36 degrees F.) and dry conditions are the best for onion bulbs. Light freezing did not in- Jure the bulbs but increased their pungency, Bulbs kept air-dry but allowed to become alternately frozen and thawed several times broke down with rot'quickly when brought into room temperature of 70 degrees. 'Bucky's' Victory Bellow Giving a triumphant bellow, "Bucky," ec a Hereford, poses with his happy owner, Mary Edna Jackson, 13, after winning the grand championship blue ribbton and the Florida 4-H championship at the Southeastern Fat Stock Show in Ocala. Mary Edna received $1,441.50 for the animal when she sold him to a meat-packing firm, Sire Important To Dairy Herd Progressive dairymen know that the sire is the most important member of the herd. Practically speaking a dairy cow inherits half its milk producing ability from its sire, and half from its dam. Thus theoretically, a site of 500 pounds of fat inheritance mated to a cow of 200 pounds of fat inheritance will give offspring yielding about 350 pounds- of fat. In actual practice, the results are influenced somewhat by the prepotency of the individual animals concerned, by variation in inheritance, by feeding practice, by housing conditions, and by general care and management. The, factor of variation in inheritance makes testing and selection necessary. However, there is ample evidence that the performance of low pro- ducing herds can be very greatly improved by use of good sires. Even with high quality herds, production of milk and. butterfat can be improved and maintained through a systematic breeding and selection program using good sires. Evidence supporting this is provid- ed by the Jersey herd maintained at the Dominion Experimental Sta- tion, Summerland, B.C. In this herd a line breeding program using test- ed sires closely related to the "prov- ed" bull Standard of Oaklands has been followed since 1932. Proved sires are used whenever possible. Immature bulls from proved sires are used sparingly until their daughters complete their first and sometimes second lactations. The performance of these daughters de- termines whether the bull is kept for further service or sent to the butcher. In the meantime these po- tentially good bulls are leased to neighbouring dairy farmers. This policy enables the Station to recall good bulls whenever they are re- quired for further service. It also ensures that surplus potentially good sires are used to advantage in commercial dairy herds, In 1933 the average production of the Jersey herd at the Summerland Station was 7725.1 pounds of milk and 4414 pounds of fat (average test 5.71 per cent). In 1045 the production had risen to - 8619.9 pounds and 499.5 pounds respective- ENJOY ECONOMY AND LASTING BEAUTY WITH gcedng builders and home-owners.

The game wag one of the best witnessed in the school for some time as it was a struggle all the way as both teams gave a fine display of pass- ing and shooting, 'The locals took the floor 3 points down on the round and with three top performers of the first string out of the lineup. The game was a thriller all the way with first one team taking the lead then the other. The crowd of spectators on hand were treated to a show of ing which kept the fans fans standing most of the time, it seemed to be a duel between two individual stars as Bracey for Whitby and Christie for Port Perry seemed to be battling it out for scoring honors, Bracey collecting 14 '| points and Christie 8. Both teams worked in very close trying to break each other's zone but in the final minutes of the game all methods of defence were dropped as Port tried desperately to freeze the ball and take up time so that they might re- tain possession of the ball to keep Whitby from scoring. Close Checking First In the first half the teams tested each other's defence and scoring as a result was held down. Port Perry were ahead 8-5 at quarter time and the Whitby sextet seemed to be amazed at their ability to hold Port Perry as they expected be no- where in the running. The score at half time was 11-9 for Port as Whitby really matched their checks and passes in this half, McCrea led Port Perry's scoring with 5 points and Christie bagged two baskets, Lane sank two out of his 3 foul shots, For Whitby it was Bracey who held Whitby in the limelight dropping in 3 bakets while Gaine made a nice pushup shot. Shewan who took over one of the places sank a foul shot and on the whole was one of the best players on the floor as he shifted around the Port Perry zone defence. Gallant Bid Whitby realizing it was in this half they would have to shine or never really made a gallant bid for victory. They completely dominated the play in the third quarter col- iecting 9 points while holding Port to only 4. The locals led for this time 18-15 and had they been able to hold Port Perry for the final quarter they might have easily won. However, Port didn't give the Whitby squad a chance to rest as they roared back into the fray and it was a shot by Stan Lane from his own ten second line without touching the rim that really weakened the Whitby spirit. Once Port Perry took the lead they merely passed the ball among themselves to take up time until the final whistle with score 22-20 in their favour. The scoring was a little more divided in this half as far as Port Perry were concerned ag every player on the first line contributed at least a point to the score board. For the Whitby side of it Bracey again paced the mwith 4 baskets this time. Shewan added a basket and MacKay a foul shot. In this half MacKay was banish- ed from the game with 5 personals. On the foul shots Whitby tried 5 and made 2. Port tried 12 and made 4 .for a lower average. The game was very well played both teams played very clean and the referees called a very good gatne and both teamg felt they were fairly treated. Port Perry won the round 38-33 but it was very close, For Port Perry it was Christie and the Lane brothers who "were the most dangerous. Bracey, Shewan and MacKay each contributed to Whitby's effort.

Thus during the 12-year period there has been an average increase of 894.8 pounds of milk and 58.1 pounds of fat. Throughout this period feed- ing practices have remained almost constant and the same herdsman has been employed. The improve- ment in production is due largely to the use of good herd sires, and therefore good inheritance. Portland cement comes from England. "Wife Presefvers ° suds.

The West wants Germany to be decentralized politically, with the peace treaty providing for some form of confederation of German states with a central administration holding limited powers. . Opposing this, Russia and her backers seek a centralized Germany along with strong economic and ter- ritorial settlements against the old Reich. The Foreign Ministers Council al- 80 must decide how the final settle- ment with Germany will be made. From the Western viewpoint the most interesting development is the proposal, initially advanced by the United States, for an internation al statute to regulate the country until a German government comes into being which can formally sign a treaty. Frontier adjustments will also cause much discussion. The most contentious concerns Germany's Eastern frontier. At Potsdam, Po- land was extended westward into Germany to the Oder-Neise River Line, but the declaration then said a final adjustment was to be made in the peace traety. Russia claims it was the inten- tion at Potsdam to make the Oder- Neisse frontier permanent, but the United States and Britain have re- servations on this point and may argue against it strongly. With the Poles entrenched there, it is unlikely any large scale re- adjustment is possible. At best a few minor changes may result. The Big Four probably will seek agreement on the length of Allied occupation of Germany, which Bri- tish and American officials in Ger- many generally consider should last at least another 10 years, VILLAGE IN 1626 In 1626, New York had 200 in- habitants.

Hicks, local justice of the peace, to whose office the woman had gone to explain what had happen- Oounsel for the defence, Duncan B, Molntyre, told the court that the woman was the mother of two infant children who needed care at home and that in view of this fact he was asking for as lenient a sen-, tence as was possible, Magistrate Ebbs stated in answer that the charge was a very serious one and that the woman had been guilty of a very serious and unware ranted attack on the young girl.
