WANTS BETTER RADIO MUSIC There is indeed something wrong with rtdio. We wish it would do more to entertain rather than carry du.l speeches for the supposed enlightenment of listen- ers. Good music is the form of entertainment in which it has least competition. But instead of mak- ing itself supreme in the provid- ing of high-cia.=B music, radio ap- pears to skinip that department of its usefulness. As a matter of fact, some of the best music heard over the radio is from records. Many people feel dissatisfied, especial- ly those who think that in the sphere of hiRh-class adult enter- tainment the radio is falling short of its opportunitie.s. â€" Toronto Star. Miniature Army A military museum in Paris has a collection of 19,000 doll;". Each is about two an<l a half inche-^ tall, and clad in period uniform. The uniforms and weapons are perfect lepliciis of those used in the Napoleonic wars. The whole army of 1 !»,000 was made by one man â€" an Alsatian soldier, who fought under .Napoleon, and spent the rest of his life making min- iature soldiers. Poultry meat can be canned ss easily as any other product. Five general rules shoujd be observed in connection with it. 1. Use fresh but properly cool- ed meat. 2. Remove bone, gristle, and ex- cess fat. Pack in jars or cans. 3. Sterilize one hour at 16 lbs. pressure, or three hours in water bath. 4. Seal as soon ss removed from sterilizer, and 6. Jars containing meat should not be allowed to cool while in- verted because the fat will hard- en at the bottom rather than at the top of the jar. Two Method* There are two methods of can- ning poultrj'. The first is: kill birds, then thoroughly coo] and draw. Wash carefully. Disjoint legs and wings. ,Cut breast care- fully from bone. Dip pieces in boiling water, then into cold. Drain and pack in glass jars. Make a broth by cooking back, breast bone, neck and other parts in salted water one hour. Drain and pour over meat in jars. Ad- just rubber rings and tops of jars or sealers. Partially seal. Ster- ilize. The second method is as fol- lows: Kill birds and draw at once. Wash carefully and thoroughly cool. Cut into joints. Cov^r with water and cook until meat can be removed from bones. Pack meat in jars. Strain broth and allow one-half teaspoon salt to each cup. Pour over meat. Adjust rub- ber rings and tops of jars or seal- ers. Partially seal. Sterilize. o NTARIO UTDOORS By ViC BAKER ONTARIO ANGLERS' HANDBOOK The Handbook of Lhe Oiitaiio Federation of Anglers has Just come to our attention and we trust you have read It and nro familiar with Its contents.

Reicbsfuehrer Adolf Hitler of Oennany might well have been cal- led "the forgotten man" during the fooirteenth week of tha war. On the diplomatic front, Stalin and Mus- •<dloi stole the show from him ; on tbe sea, the Allies appeared to be calnglng tbe upper hand; ou tbe Oerman front, if reports current abroad were true. Hitler was being outshone in political significance bx Hermann Ooering and the Rightist faction. Even the rumors, that flew so thick and fast during the week, bad blm consigned to oblivion. One very persistent story claimed that Husfiolini would shortly come for- ward with a peac^proposal, accep- table to the Allies, by which Hitler would retire in favor of the Goer- lug clique after giving up all the territory he had recently taken (Sudetenland and Polish Corridor excepted) ; In return for his ser- vices as ambassador of peace, the report ran, Mussolini was to be gi- ven a special sphere of influence In the Balkans. Then â€" the story came to Its logical conclusion â€" everybody would go to war against Russia. COMING ARMAGEDDON? With the crossing of Finland's frontiers by the Red Army, the form and scope of Europe's war changed. The focus of world atten- tion shifted from west to east, and more countries became directly Im- plicated - Italy, United States, Scandinavia. The possibility of a coi\fIict in which the whole of civ- ilization wouild be involved seemed much nearer than before. Would the showdown, however, come up there in frozen Finland, or would U be staged in Rumania? Would the League action against Russia pre- cipitate the struggle? Did the pre- sence, reliably reported, of Ger- man officers in Finland mean a coming split in the Xazl-Sovict front? What of Japan, China â€" would they be on the side of the Soviet Union in the Armageddon? 4 y « Bee Hive Syrup NO PEACE ON EARTH Of especial military or diplomat- ic Importance during the week were these: the Russian campaign In Finland . . . the sinking of 'ive Nazi subs . . .
