HELP NEEDED FOR VEGETABLE AND FRUIT HARVESTS Review of the Ontario farm help situation at a weekend conference of staff members of the Ontario Farm Service Force from all over Ontario, held at Port Dalhousie, revealed that a very serious shortage of harvest help will prevail during the harvest season for fruits and vegetables, particularly during the two month period from August 20th to October 20th. Presided over by Alex Maclaren, Director of the Farm Service Force, the conference received reports from placement officers and camp supervisors throughout the Province, and except in Western Ontario, the need for workers to fill up the Farm Service boys' and girls' camps, and for placement on individual farms, appears to be the most serious of any of the war years. It was reported that the general farm labour situation has been eased by the onflux of Western Harvesters and by the use of prisoners of war in some areas. An analysis of the reports showed that there will be a definite need for 1,000 girls and women and some hundreds of boys to keep the farm camps up to their requirement*, and to provide help for farmers on individual farms. The situation will become most serious immediately after August 20 and especially so after the high schools open on September 4th. j Considerable stress was laid on a ; statement issued by the Minister of Education announcing that any secondary school or grade could be closed by the school board for a period not exceeding four weeks to permit the pupils to help in harvesting, processing, canning or preserving food. A further announcement from the Minister of Education reads as follows : "Pupils who re enrolled in schools or grades which are not closed and who during the summer holidays were employed in essential work connected with the food supply and whose services are required further, are asked to remain at their work during Septembe." Plans for the recruiting of the necessary personnel, both boys and girls, to fill up the farm service camps* for the rest of the season were discussed and adopted. Any boy or girl, man or woman, giving four weeks' service, will receive free transportation one way from home to the place of employment, while those who remain until the end of the season, approximately October 15th, will be paid transporation both ways. An extensive advertising campaign to enlist volunteers for this important season was approved. Cheese is an important source of | calcium. KITCHEN AND BATHROOM CHANGE VALUE OF HOUSE A kitchen that is modern, cheerful, efficient working unit and a bathroom that embodies convenience, comfort and harmony are the two most important factors in determining the choice between two otherwise comparable houses, declares a bulletin of the Canadian Institute of Plumbing and Heating. In planning the bathroom, remember that your choice of equipment and accessories is a semi-permanent one and keep in mind that what you spend, amortized over a period of many years, warrants your choice of the best available. On this basis the choice of less than the best shows very little, if any, real saving. Again, because what you choose is at least semi-permanent, make provision at the outset for possible increase in the size of your household. A shower as well as a tub bath, a toilet that will be acceptable ten years from now, space for a towel and linen closet--these are items to keep in, mind when planning. In the kitchen its convenience as well as modernity that counts.. Arrange your kitchen so that ther^ is a natural flow pattern from food coming food being washed, food being stored, food being cooked and food being, served. And see that the working levels, particularly in the case of the sink and table ,are the right height for the person who will use them most. Here again, semi-permanence is to be kept in mind so don't skimp on equipment. You may want to sell your home but then again circumstances of one sort or another may make this necessary. Its wise to consider this when planning and to remember that the bathroom and kitchen often determines the price you get for the house. Consult your local plumber when planning, advises the Institute. A plumber, always in close touch with developments in his field, can give you valuable advice and guidance In your choice of bathroom and kitchen equipment and accessories. NEW RATION BOOKS Persons discharged from the Armed Forces are entitled to their civilian ration books imemdiately.

A booklet, "Dismiss -- But What ot a Job?" has been prepared to show the facilities afforded through the Dominion Department of Labour, in connection with rehabilitation of ex-servicemen and ex-service women. Also, the book contains .a brief out-line of the main legislative changes in wartime, from the Dominion viewpoint, affecting the conditions of employment in industry. The book will be provided, to vocational and educational advisers in the Armed Services .officers of the Department of Veterans' Affairs and Labour (including the National Employment and Service), members of comittees interested in rehabilitation, larger employers and trade unions, and others. It is felt that the information contained in the booklet will be of value to most of those who have to do with any of the phases .of rehabilitation problems. .

Attending a sick or injured child for a day in the Hospital "for Sick Children demands still greater effort . . . painstaking . . . patient . . . alert . . . ever-watchful. In addition, it requires the greatest possible degree of medical skill and nursing efficiency. Multiply this one-day effort by 17, which is the average number of days each Public Ward patient is treated. Then multiply by 8,200, which is the number of patients admitted to the Hospital during one year. The result is a staggering total, measuring as eloquently as cold figures can, the tremendous volume of personal effort demanded from the Hospital Staff. Despite the fact that the treatment and nursing of children requires such a high degree of proficiency from every angle, the costs of the Hospital for Sick Children are kept at very low levels. Even so, the Provincial and Municipal grants and all other revenue are inadequate to meet the cost Unfortunately, too, we have no large group of p'atients who pay high fees -- 400 of our 420 beds being in Public Wards. An annual deficit cannot be avoided II proper care and attention is to be given needy little ones. It is because we believe you would not want us to turn away any child, broken in health or body, that w« appeal annually to the public to make up the deficit. This year, we must raise $70,000.00. * We appeal to you for a donation -- a* large as your circumstances permit -- 25* $1.00, $2.00, $5.00, $10.00 -- no amount is too great . . . none too small. Why not send along your donation now? All you need is a piece of paper and an envelope. Write your name on the paper, pin cheque or banknotes to it and fold silver inside. Acknowledgment of all subscriptions, large or small, is made in the columns of The Evening Telegram. We do not share in the funds collected by the Toronto Federation for Community Service because we admit patients from all parts of tbe Province.
