1 HE COLBORNE EXPRESS. COLBORNE, ONT., JUNE 29, 1944 MAC DONALD'S SAD-LOOKING SUPERMEN OTTAWAJtEPORTS That Dominion Reconstruction Committee Advocates Standard Of Farm Homes Be Raised The farm home, long overlooked for consideration in the report of the Dominion Reconstruction Committee appointed by the Government at Ottawa. The building of 94,000 farm dwellings in the first ten,years after the war is recommended by the subcommittee on Housing and Community Planning. In the same period the subcommittee's report "urges repair of ISS.ono farm homes. It also advocates n, v homes for with other families, and provision of cottages for farm laborers. Two out of every five farm dwellings in Canada tire in need of chimneys, windows or doors, the report of the subcommittee advises. Four out of five have no electricity. In every 100, 1)3 lack batbitig facilities or flush toilets. Examining this report, Frank Shefrin, a Dominion Department ments, "For the first time we have a report on housing and community planning which deals not only with the shelter of urban dwellers but makes specific recommendations. ..'to raise substantially the standard of farm housing." Cheddar cheese production in May was approximately 20 million lbs., or a little over .11% above that of May, 1943. It is the highest recorded production since monthly records were first compiled in 1936. There is no need Tor July or August chicks this year, Dominion egg and poultry experts advise.

This was an excess of $64,700,- 000 over the previous monthly record established last July. Among the leading commodities exported were wheat and wheat flour; seeds, fishery products: eggs and meats; planks and boards; wood pulp, newsprint _paper; motor vehicles and parts; chemicals, cartridges and shells; guns, rifles and firearms. The United Kingdom received goods to the value of $140,-249,000, and the United States, $131,865,000. Other leading countries to which shipments were made included Italy, British India, Russia, Egypt, Australia, Newfoundland.

WHAT SCIENCE IS DOING Welded Aircraft A new welded stainless steel , cargo plane, the Conestoga, is in loll production at the Edward G. Budd Manufacturing Company plant, Philadelphia. The two-engine, 68-foot aircraft with an upsweep after-body giving It the appearance of a flying whale, Is the first plane in which welded stainless steel has been used to a large extent, the navy said. Doors on opposite sides of the fuselage permit launching of paratroops- and supplies simultaneously from both sides in contrast to conventional one-door transports. The cargo compartment, 25 feet long, eight feet wide and eight feet high, is made possible by , a unique manner of attaching the wing to the fuselage without passing the wing through the fuselage in the customary fashion. The floor of the cargo compartment remains level both on the jround and in flight as the plane is •quipped with a tricycle landing The ship i* capable of carrying 10,40 of e wiles, but its maximum range can fce increased to 3,500 miles with auxiliary fuel tanks. Two 710-horsepower engines give it a cruising speed of 165 miles an hour. Total weight fully loaded b 33,800 pounds. The Conestoga can be convert-ad to troop transport or ambulance use, and an ambulance and jeep fcoth can be carried inside. Answer To Alcohol Shortage: Poison Gas Those thirsty folks who wonder how the war effort can absorb practically the whole distilling capacity of this continent were driven an answer by a War Production Board head who had appeared before a U. S. Senate committee, states the Winnipeg Free Press. The main answer, he said, was "■poison gas." This does not mean that the United Nations propose to initiate the use of this dreadful weapon of war, but Dr. W. G. Whitman of WPB made it amply clear that, if the Axis starts using it we will immediately follow suit, and that we do not propose to be caught on a "too little and too late" fcasis. Alcohol is a principal ingredient of poison gases. It is also used for explosives and other war purposes, but poison gas stock piles are what are chiefly in mind now as the distillers keep on turning out industrial alcohol.

Mustard Gas A boy of 16 found a tin container on sand dunes on the South Wales coast. His younger sister opened it up and played with the contents. It held mustard gas in liquid form for use at anti-gas classes. The child died from severe burns. Her father and mother, brother, another sister, and six neighbors who came into contact with the liquid suffered burns. The whole district had to be decontaminated. Soviet Russia was the first country to train parachutists. MONTY LOOKS OVER A JOB WELL DONE dad in his famous sweater and beret, Gen. Bernard L.

The round, sausage-shaped fruiting heads of the plant are compact masses of seeds, bearing hair-like appendages by which the seeds are wafted-about in the wind. These threads are hollow, light and fluffy -- an excellent material for buoyancy and insulation. Hence, their value for life preservers! Why not also for sleeping bags? Now the cattail harvest is a thriving business in many marshes, and a new plant industry has been born.
