in the city but she wouldnt she wouldnt let julie continue to make a fool of herself over that johnson boy whats that clairet talk to julie v jims voice came muffled through the intervening pages of his newspaper claire noted irrelevant ly the striking contrast of his pre maturely white hair to his bronzed still youthful face yes by any standards jim was a terribly at tractive man women like- mary fenton thought her rash leaving jim alone in the city every sum- mer but that was ridiculous one had to be sensible and if jims publishing firm kept him tied to his desk during the sweltering summer months that was no reason for his wife and daughter to suffer too as for distrusting jim well either he- loved her or he didnt should he ever decide he didnt she had too much pride to want to hold him to an empty marriage vow if only julie had inherited that same pride that was what was orrytig lairf r jirhat was jim saying good lord claire the girls old enough to know her own mind if she wants to stay home and take some courses let her til be here to keep an eye on her stay home and take courses couldnt jim see through that pathetic alibi but jim oh what was the use he wasnt even listening shed have to handle this herself shed make julie go with her thered be no more of these pitiful attempts to attract grant johnsons attention making up excuses to phone him humbling herself for a smile a brief hello an intricately maneuvered date even if one could win a man by such tactics it was an empty vic tory one had to have pride claire reflected julie was too young to realize that her heart twisted with love and- pity as she remembered how unhappy the girl had been all these past months but shed been wrong so wrong if a two months absence meant losing the boy he wasnt worth winning in t first place o jim was getting up to leave will you be home for dinner dear with two books due to go to press within the week claire knew how rushed he must be dinner why why no no im afraid its going to be two late nights in a row sam and i didnt finish those proofs we went over last night claire meticulously poured her self a fresh cup of coffee from the silver urn oh yes i didnt have a chance to ask what kept you last night that history text its giving us a lot of trouble well goodby my dear the door had scarcely closed be- hind jim when julie came into the reakfasl room how slowly the girl walked how pair she was he signs of tears around her eves d nose good mornine mother julie slumped into i chair apdptard lessly at her oranri- jincb claire didnt answer fot a iv- ment she was fingering the hotel brochure then julie oh mother do do we have 10 argue again about this summer i want to stay home ive got lo stay home julies voice was desper ate there was pleading in every fiber of her slim young body yes yes of course you can stay home mother her voice was sud denly joyous im staying home too as she spoke claire was crumpling the rochure her gleaming nails tear g through the heavily engraved paper v gosh mother i dont know what fnade you change your mind but im glad im certainly glad ycu idjl of course julie didnt know why shed changedher mind but claire knew knew that jim had never before lied to her not till just now when he said hed spent iast night agoing over proofs with sam but mary fenton had saidover the phone that shed seen him at the theater with that attractive new client while vitamins are an old story to us now yet it isnt so very long ago that the vitamin as quite new today we hear it mentioned on the radio quite often and it also has is place in the advertising columns of the papers most of us know a little about vitamins and are familiar with the list of fruits and grains and vegetables that contain same of the different vit amins vitamins were discovered by a frenchman and ne thought that if he terillzed all foods he would be able to do away with disease feeding steri lized food to his experimental rats he made the discovery that- while he likely was killing some harmful bac teria he also must have been killing some needed elements in that same food as his rats died after being fed this supposedly perfect diet the word vitamin was used at the ume of the discovery as a temporary name for those elements and it seems that ho other more suitable name has been found up to date the word it self is derived from the fewo words vital arid ameno vital because they are necessary and ameno because of their composition vitamins being composed of ameno acids the village or ripley in huron county is in the news right now and all because of the fact that a dental survey of the school children in that village revealed the surprising fact that they are practically free of teeth decay many school children of four teen years of age had never even had to visit a dentist agam any fillings that had been put in were still as good as when the work haifbeen done which is not the rule usually the information seemed important enough to warrant the university of toronto looting into the matter and the dis covery has been made that the pres ence of certain elements in the soil and in the wafer in that locality is responsible for the perfect teeth these elements are phosphorus and fio urine milk as everybody knows contains phosphorus and calcium both these minerals being necessary for teeth and for bone building the globe and mail seemed tojhink that thlsnews from ripley was important enough to send a special reporter up there to get the details the discovery is of course quite important however we imagine the reporter missed the main point he failed to report as to how a den- list could make a living tna commun ity like that where teeth do not re quire attention we mentioned vitamins in a previous paragraph and we are aware of the fact that tablets all ready to swallow are on the market now and they con tain all the necessary vitamins it will be interesting to notice how soon we may be invited to invest in tab lets containing phosphorus and fiour- ine all ready to prevent tooth decay uptodate we havent noticed any discovery as having been made of any element that would prevent grey hair or old age or even baldness perhaps that will be next in line the sports writer of one of the city papers has been trying to create inter est in an agitation for an open sun day for sports we enjoy sport as much as does the average person and we think that the sk days out of each seven are plenty tln which to enjoy these sporting events in fact hockey players or players of any sport are the better of one days rest in seven the excuse is often used when anything of this nature crops up that the idea is in the interest of the boys in uniform that are in neeti of entertainment on sunday it looks like an excuse to shift the blame from civilian should ers to that of the boys in uniform a quotation from a letter just received from overseas mlgh be of interest we have decided to have hymn singing each sunday evening along with the padre starting this sunday night it should be ok those boys are look- nig forward to invasion or what if commonly known as the second front and it is interesting to note that their thoughts turn to hymn iiiigfm nn sunday nlhl rather than to some porting event uoisewives approve canning sugar plan the new arrangements for handlinii distribution of canning supnr recently announced by the ration administra tion are meeting wiih general appro val on the part of ontario- housewives realizing the tremendous difficulties involved housewives hailed the sim plicity and flexibility of the plan as well as the fairness and liberal nature of the allowance eliminating the complicated- application method the prices board will simply declare valid me first ten spare f

paper packages that in prewar days would have been termed fabulous paper containers are doing a war job the time was and not so very long ago when a paper box was mere ly a container designed to convey its contents to destination without scuff or breakage today paper containers have gone to war paper contai have met the en emy on every front on land and sea in the arctic in the tropics in the desert in the- s and underneath the sea paper containers in addition to their hundreds of wellknown uses for mili tary ana civilian purposes have also been designed lor the following uses 1 to be thrown overboard for land ing operations float to shore or sink to the bottom to be recovered at low tide 2 to provide adequate protection for the valuable contents suoh as me dical kits blood plasma emergency rations gas masks and for hundreds of other naval army and air force uses 3 paper parachutes strong enougli to convey to earth precious food and supplies tor isolated men and units arc now in use on many fronts 4 containers made fromtreated pa pers capable of forming a package liner that will contain and hold high volulile solvent vapors such as naptha and benzine 5 fibre paint cans are

papar- board containers these millions of paper containers sent overseas cannot be returned for their present and past results in all their undertakings in connection with salvage and conservation programme we have reason to hope that within the next few weeks the stock inven tory position of the paperboard mills will begin to reflect the enthusiasm with which all parties concerned in and out of the waste paper trade have pitched hi to meet this critical imergency waste paper shortage there is a definite guarantee up to jifhe 1 1944 that every carload of waste paper baled or securely bund led for which no market is available through regular trade channels will be cleared through a government com pany judging from the reception given to this campaign by cities towns and villages we have so far heard from we are confident that the previous gent message for help has not gone unheeded but the situation la still critical and the mills are still operat ing from hand to mouth tell your friends the true facts of this case ask them to join you and help you in saving waste paper the job is important save your salvage for the boy scouts the voluntary salvage committees other organisations doing voluntary war work dealers and the puhuc at large are justified in being proud of the lack or an inch meant millions to prairie farmers by h g l strange this is a tribute to an outstanding canadian farmer dr seager wheeler of rosthem saskatchewan as a boy young wheeler was re fused by the british navy beacuse he was one inch too short he emigrated to canada homesteaded and became as seed grower dr seager wheeler won the worlds championship for wheat five times he is the producer of the best strain of registered marquis the famous 10b he is also the original discoverer of red bobs wheat which today occu pies 38 per cent of the entire wheat acreage ota4berln and which variety ecausc of jts early maturity hence is ability to escape early frosts has brought untold millions of extra dol lars to prairie farmers it lsno doubt correct to say that for his years of hard work in selecting and reselecting red bobs dr wheeler has not made one penny of profit but he has received something far more precious than mo ney an honorary doctors degree from queens university the high respect esteem and acclaim of his fellow farmers and a membership in the or der of the british empire a high ho nour recently conferred upon mm by the king had dr wheeler as a boy been an inch taller he might today be an ad miral but the lack of that inch turned him into a farmer much to canadas profit lassie is a laddie from a letter to her from bolly wood california mjs gordon bnnm gives us some sidelights on the picture play lassie come home a recent attraction at the gregory theatre the- writer is richard c craven western regional director of the american humane association he says the truth is that lassie is a male dog when the picture was being pro jected the stiidio sent a man through several states to interview collies for which pretentious claims had been made but hot one measured comple- tely up to the standard sought finally there was an open contest at the hoi- lywcod baseball park for collies which might fill the bill about 125 in au i thought there were several that- looked better than lassie but they did not meet the descripttanof krto knights book lassie at that time was in the rough as to coat etc but had jus been brought down fronv the ranch where she had led an outdoor life she had certain advantages how- evar one being that she would not have to be untaught the habits which a house dog acquires and which per meate their lives lassie was owned by a man who has schooled many dogs for the movies and who unties- stands the business so was confident he could in a few weeks bring the dog into show condition and agreement was reached with the studio the owner had explained to him exactly what was required day after day he led the dog through the differ ent scene actions and she became what you would term letter perfect in the fight scene the dogs wore in visible or should i say indistinguish able muzzles and the fight was hi reality nothing more than a scuffle because the dogs were no strangers to each other we must also bear in mind that there could be no risk of lassie being injured or marred because that would have spoiled her for the rest of the picture she is in fine shape today and because of her great success has been signed to a fiveyear contract with mgm so it is certain we shall have more pictures with
