PAGE TEN TEE ~ ~PkbTATf ~TATESMAN. BOWMANVTLLE. ONTARTO ~HUR~AY. APRIL 7t~h, lglg Hello Homemakers! You can freshen up the house xvthout creating a cloud of dust if you use a vacuum cleaner. It's a big help on the major housecieaning jobs. The attachments are easily interchanged and go into action at the flip of a switch for such protective measures as demoth- ing, deodorizing, and poiishing. This is the time of year you May be seriously considcring buy- ing or renting one. Since there are two different types of vacuum cleaners and many different kinds of each type, you may be in a quandary as to which you should .clect. Let your frihnsb the deciding factor. If you have oft, high-piled rugs and an ex- ensive amount of hardwood floors, you wili want a straight air cleaner. It has the long tube attachment which cleans mat- tresses and does extra dusting at the same time. Carpets and bard rugs rcspond more effectively to the agitator type of vacuum with a motor-driven brush action. With either type, it is wise te purchase the attachments and make good use of them, according te directions. Features te look for in vacuumn cleaner value: i. A quiet motor and fan action with littie vibration. 2. Ease of changing attacbments. 3. Convcniently located power switch. 4. A free action handie on the upright model and well-de- signed runners on the tank model. 5. A durable cord with brackets te wind it on. 6. Soft bumpers on three sides of the nozzle or sweeper to prevent marring the furni- ture. 7. A lamp at the base with a widc arc te provide light under the furniture and help you te sec pins. 8. Check the convenience of maintenance (some have seaied-in lubrication and re- quire ne oiiing.) 9. A reputable company which guarantees its product. 10. The dust receptacle should be casily removed (seme have a foot operatcd dirt -.ector). il. Consider a good finish, attrac- tive appearance and a sturdîly huilt machine. THE QUESTION BOX Mrs. J.

Some liquid cleaners, such as those for cleaning woodwork, also do a good job. If you don't happen to have any of these, the floor can be rubbed lightly with steel wool. Mrs. S. W. asks: Does scrubbing linoleumn with a brush ruin this material? Answer: Vigorous scrubbing and too much water used on linoleumn will soon deteriorate it. Mrs. R. M. asks: How often should a floor be waxed? Answer: No set rule can be applied to all households, because of thel difference in family life. If there are small children and a dogý the floor will get ground-in soil that xill require thorough wash- ing and a complete new cover- ing of polished wax once a week. In other cases go over the floor lightly with a mop wrung out tight of soapy water then a dlean mop wrung out of dlean water and leave the wax for 2 or 3 weeks Anne Allan invites you to write to her c/o The Statesman.

Deachman Every ltttle while someone wakes up fromn a sound sleep, tells us that the familv farm will soon be a thing of the past, wants something done about it. Why this sudden urge? The change has been going on for generations. Mechanization made possible the large sized farru. A litndre-i years from now conversations wili continue on the most efficient farm unit so far as size is concern- cd. but there wiil still be smal farms, large farms and very large farms. Success j: not detcrmir'ýd by the size of the farm but by the ability of the man who runs it. In the old days, when I had time to do it. I used to drive through the rural areas in the different provinces. I wanted to see what was happening. There was a nice little farmn a few miles out of Ot- tawa. It was run by a man who was making a success on a farmn of approximately 60 acres. He was a good farmer. He sold oats for seed at $2 and $3 a bushel and bought feed for bis cows at nor- mal market prices. He specialized in a high grade of milk. He rais- ed purebred stock. Everything around that farm was smooth as a ducks foot. I happened to meet hlm at a corner store a short distance fromn his farm. He was driving a new car. I took a hard look at it. "Times are looking up," I said. "Not particularly," he answered, "I get z. new one every year. It's amazing \vhat you can do in this country if you can find a banker foolish enough to lend you money." He wasn't the type of man bank managers worry about. He was bright anyway you liked to take him, he made money on a small farm. Seme years ago a farmer in Western Ontario dropped me a little note iu answer te sometbiug I bad written in a farm paper. He asked me te see hlm the next time I was passing through bis town. A month or se later I avail- cd myscif of the invitation. Hel was an elderly man, quite vigor- eus, a Scot by birth. He bad farmed ail bis life anîd iked it. He hadn't a big farm-he spec- ialized lu purebred sheep. I asked hlm where be sold them. "Weli," he said, 'that a peculiar story. Some years ago a man wrote me and said that he had heard I was a breeder of purebred sheep and wanted me te send him two rams. He lived in California. I took a chance on it without knowing auy- thing about hlm. From that time my business grew and now I ship, at geod prices, ail the sheep I can produce-mainly te the Western States." There was a man who \vas making a success of a rela- tiveiv smali farni.lHe was spec- ializing in a particular hune. The same thing exists lu almost every, area of Canada and will continue te exist. The bigher the intelligence, the better the cdu- catien, the \vider will be the var- i ation in types of agriculture, ln lines of production and in methods employcd. The modern farmeri net tied te the traditions of theI past. He has seen changes cem ing in bis business. He believes that change is a continuiug process and that there is no definite rule which sets the pattern for the farming of the future. Net long ago I wvas talking te a business man who owns a farmn and likes farming. I asked himn about the labor problem. He was convinc cd that it couid be solved. 'With modern machinery w-e could pav bigher rates of wages te men w-ho wcre thoroughly efficient. If costs of building w-cnt down l'e large farm could afford te provide comfortable bouses for a number of workers lu a closeiy grouped centraiiy heated unit, and whue the average worker mav net make Publicity Officer Ruth V. G. Campbell Announcement is made of the apporntment of Miss Ruth V. G. Campbell as publicity representa- tive for the Women's Progressive Conservative organization in Can- ada. Miss Campbell, a graduate of Queen's University with 20 years of newspaper experience on the Ottawa Journal and the Ot- tawa Citizen, had publicity ex- perience for varjous government departments during wartime. She is a member of the Canadian Women's Press Club, the Univer- sity Women's Club and the 1.0. D.E. as much - purely in terms of money, the cost of living is less, rent wou]d be at a minimum. Price instability is one of the problems of agriculture. Volume of production is flot readily ad- justable to changes of demand. In the depression years, volume of farm production did not vary widely. In industry, when de- mand falîs off, production drops, prices tend to stabilize but in agri- culture the farmer goes right on producing, recovery is slow. Yet over a period of years, average prices of manufactured prorlucts are flot muich higher than farm products. It is flot alone the price level, it is price instability which worries the farmer. What of the future of these farms, small and great. In one sense the world is hungry-say rather that it lacks the capacity to produce the things which might be exchanged for food. It's a fluid world. Men wiil move from the farms to the cities-or vice versa, if they can satisfy their de- sires with lesq effort by so doing. Beyond this lies the real pro- blem of the future, a problem which transcends ail others. If after World War I there could have been some real guarantee of peace and comparative freedom in exchange, there would have been no limit to human progress. As it is we live in a desperately poor and hungry world. There is a tremendous demand for food but inabilîty to pay for it. That means frequent attempts to give permanence to prices by sales on long-range contracts. These ef- forts are not solutions, not even palliatives. Give us peace-world peace, without that we struggle in darkness, see, only at odd times, Saint glimpses of the light.

Ef fective Peace Time Work of Red Cross Must Be Continued The viîtal work of the Ontario Division of the Canadian Red Cross Society is being extended as energetically ini peacetime as it was in the war years. This was revealed when some 600 delegates from ail parts of Ontario attended the 29th annual meeting in Toron- to recently. The vast scope of Red Cross work during the past vear was indicated in the annual reports of divisionai chairmen, these covering such activities as the blood transfusion services, continuous work among veterans, increased services of outpost hos- pitais, dental work among school children, the meeting of emer- gency disasters, highway first aid posts, nutrition and homemaker programs. swimming and water safety, arts and crafts instruction, and the valuable work of the Jun- ior Red Cross. William B. Hanna, president, outlined the great responsibilities of the Red Cross in mitigating suffering not only in Canada but in war-torn countries abroad. He referred to the campaign fund's success iast year and said that, in adition to supplying needs of On- tario's outpost hospitals, the On- tario division bad sent great quan- tities of clothing and hospitai sup- plies overseas. Thirty branches also acepted responsi'bility for their local areas to meet unex- pected disasters. "No veteran seeking Red Cross help went unassisted," said Mr. Hanna, "and scores were helped in their varied problems. Hun- dreds of dependents of Canadian servicemen were assisted. Over 1,000 women compieted home nursing courses. There will be fewer drownings lu Ontario this summer because 14,000 boys and girls passed their Red Cross tests in swimming and water safety." Mr. Hanna also referred te the splendid work of the Red Cross Corps in military hospitals; the operating of Red Cross highway first aid posts; and mos-t împort- antly' , the leadership given in free blood transfusion services. Marked progress in the activi- tics of volunteer nursing service and outpost nursing services was reported by Miss Florence Emory, chairman of the nursing commit- tee. In the matter of teaching, 41 gradluate nurses from 14 Red Cross Branches attended the re- fresher courses arranged by the University of Toronto. During the past year, 983 members of the volunteer nursing service receiv- cd their membership pins; 1,060 completed the lecture work. While the nursing situation bas eased somewhat in the operating cf the 27 outpost hospitals, more workers are needed. said Miss Emnorv, in view of added healtb services. Five nurses have also bren awarded undergraduate bur- saries.
