HELP me so to live that I can lie down, at night with a clear conscience and urihaunted by the faces of those to whom I have brought pain. GRANT that I may earn my meal ticket on the square and that, in aarning it, I may do unto others as I would have them do unto me. DEAFEN me to the gingle of tainted money and blind me to the faults of the other fellow, but reveal to me my own. GUIDE me so that each night when J look across the dinner table at my wife, who has been a blessing to me, I will have nothing to conceal. KEEP me young enough to laugh with little children and sympathetic enough to be considerate of old age. THEN when comes the day of darkened shades and the smell of flowers make the ceremony short and the epitaph simple -- "HERE LIES A MAN.' - V-- MAY BE A HAIR-PULLING CONTEST SQUARE MILK BOTTLES After a year's trial, the innovation of square milk bottles in quarts and half-pints at Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and other cities in the United States, has proved a success. Basis of the change from round milk bottles was the desire to conserve cold storage space and to increase truck loads. It was found that about 45 per cent more milk could be stored and considerably more milk carried in trucks by using new cases, more compact and lighter in make than the conventional type. These cases require about one-third less space inside the truck and save much work and time to the driver. Grocers and retailers say that they can put 36 square quarts on refrigerator shelf that held only 25 round bottles. ---V- WAR SUPPLIES When minutes seem like HOURS... War supplies must be produced in Canada. Half of our industrial production is now on war output. This reduces supplies of civilian goods. If we pay higher than ceiling prices for civilian goods in short supply we are helping to start inflation. Like a bomb, inflation would disrupt our flow of war supplies to the fighting fronts. -V -- Why Worry Over Rationing Our fathers existed without-- Sugar till the 13th century. Coal fires till the 14th. Buttered bread till the 15th. Potatoes and tobacco till the 16th. Coffee, tea, or soap till the 17th. Puddings till the 18th. Gas, matches, or electricity till the 20th. Automobiles and tinned goods till the 20th. So why worry over rationing or shortages? The old boys managed to get along fairly well. ---V- BABY'S RATION BOOK Parents of newborn babies may now secure the baby's book right at the hospital or maternity home. The attending physician, the superintendent or other person in charge of the institution may complete the statutory declaration. When applications are sent in to the local ration boards it should be stated whether or not the baby will require evaporated milk, so the nec- This particular emergency--a serious illness--occurred in a small Ontario town. But it might have been anywhere. In times of crisis, operators and other telephone workers have a way of rising to the occasion. That is part of the Bell tradition. And it is as true today as it ever was, even though the extreme demands of war have taxed to the utmost our resources in both equipment and workers. Lives can depend on prompt and efficient telephone service. Bell people never forget that fact. WHY IT CAN'T BE DONE Children's shoes cannot be made in a plant producing women's shoes because the processes, machines and lasts are so different. A plant geared to make one type of footwear cannot conveniently be turned over to make another type. -V-1-- Read the advertisements. They are addressed to you personally. WARBLE PROJECT In co-operation with the Dominion Entomological Division, the Alberta Department of Agriculture is conducting the campaign for the control of warbles through the medium of the junior farm clubs.
