er? I Fr News Over Radio Or By Newspaper Nowopamer. News Commend- - ed by St. Thomas Times- Journzl / The number of newspapers sold fn Canada every gday is almost equivalent to the number of homes, There are, of course, many homes which take two papers a day, but there are over 1,000,000 homes which have no radio sets, There are many homes with two and even more radios, and surprising as it may seem to city people who have radios all 'around them, it would seem that about half the houses In the Dominion have no radio. Therefore, when the Government asks people to tune in on a cep- tain station at a certain time for an Impoitant announcement, half the people cannot hear it because they have no vecelving sets. Besides, what is distributed over the radio may not be heard at all for a number of reasons, and if the public had to rely on the radio, most of them would never know anything about the announcement, But the newspaper is a permanent record which may be read next day, or next month, and can always be referred hack to. What goes over the radio is lost at once except in the mewory of those who did listen to the broad. cast. And very probably the lis. tener who tries to relate to other people what was sald does not re- peat it accurately. In that way, broadcast announcements of portant matters of policy are dan. gerous.

With a dinner pail under her arm and a pass clutched tight- ly in her fingers, she joined the men who passed the gate watch- man on their way to start the 8 o'clock turn, . Against the vast background ot the mills, she felt tiny, lost, She didn't know which way to turn. The men studied her curiously. One or two who knew her tipped their soiled caps and smiled hello. Wide-eyed, Penny surveyed the strange new world of furnaces * and ladles and scurrying railroad cars" loaded with precious molten steel. Occasionally, guards chal- lenged her. When her eredentials satisfied them, they were helpful in directing her, serving as guides and answering her questions. ' The mills stretched in an end- less maze along the river. Penny was fascinated as she watched the processes of steel making, When the noon whistle blew, she was al- Heady tived, her feet protesting against the extended hike. * * » Men poured out of the mills, scated themselves on piles of lum- ber, and opened their lunch kits, Penny was due for a pleasant sur- prise. As she scurried across a railroad siding, she literally bumped inte Bud Walsh. "What in heaven's name are you doing here?" Budsdemanded, when the first. shock of meeting her had ended. "It's lonesome at the office," she told him, thought I'd come' over have lunch with some of boys." "Glad to have you with us" Bw said, warmly, "Come on over and mect the gang." Delighted, she shook hands with his friends. "Mind if I join you?" she asked, "Not at all," they chimed in. One of the men dusted off a place on the lumber pile with the back of his glove, , "It feels good to sit down," she said. "I've been wandering around for hours." Happily, she opened the lunch box. The sand- wiches Midge had .made tasted good. She gave Bud one of the pears packed neatly into the kit. "You're not going to go wrong on Midge," Penny assured Bud. "She sure can make good sand- Courier "so I here to the Youwe AJAR-TIME has_depleted the tin supply -- so gloss replaces if, The delicious flavour ond fine quality remain the same os ever... olwoys deserving your choice and preference, CROWN BRAND SYRUP Ons of the fomovs products of The CANADA STARCH COMPANY, Limited NB-2 ISSUE No. 12--43 (4 PENNY wiches." = All the men laughed, That broke the ice. She treated as one of the gang from that moment on, sharing in their chatter and in their joking, The whistle signalling their re- turn to work blew all too soon. LJ - » Penny returned to the Courier office to writ her first story about the Kirk mills, a light, per- sonalized feature story in which she stressed the good humor of he men. Jim was. encouraging, helpful. He took time off from his proof-reading to suggest a good 'lead paragraph, Both of "them were absorbed in their work when they heard heavy footsteps clomping down the stairs. ~~ - A heavy-set, short, swarthy man walked in. He held a rolled sheet of paper in his hand. "Hello, Vickers," he scowled. "1 want to see you, alone." "Hello, Castro," Jim replied, coolly. "Penny's my partner, She's _ just as interested as I am in any- thing you have to say." "Okay, Vickers," Castro an. swered, "I want to run a full: page ad in your paper this week." Then he pulled a roll of cur- rency from his pocket, peeled oft 10 bills, and lined them up on the counter. Each had a value of £100. : "What's this, Castro?" Jim asked, quietly. "That's" payment for my ad," the gangster replied, impatiently. "A thousand dollars." "Our rates are the same for everyone," said Jim. "Just £50 a page." Fife, "I know that," Castro answered, "I just want you to kuow that ) like you, that's all. It's yours. No strings tied." "Castro," Jim told him, with ice in his voice, "You're a swell guy and I like you too. But I'll give you just 10 seconds to get out of here and stay out!" Ed » - -- Dynamite blazed in Castro's flushed face. Penny could see his fists clench. Then he calmed down. He picked up the money Jim had rejected. 9 "Vickers," Castrd "said, "There isn't room in this town for tlie two of us. I'm warning you. One of these days I'm going to blow you and your fly-by-night rag so high they'll never be able to put the pieces together again." He turned on his heel and swung out through the door and up the stairs. "Good for you," Jim," Penny said, finally, "I know you're not just making a noble gesture, You- could use that money." Jim smiled wrily. "Id rather ho broke," he said. "Keeps me out of mischief." "Castro isn't the kind who throws money around promiscu- ously, Penny cautioned. "He means business. You're a real threat to him. I'd watch out if 1 were you." T ) "Don't worry, Penny," Jim ans swered, grimly, "I've met his typo before, In Paris they were a lot smarter, a lot tougher, and a lot more dangerous. He's right when he said there isn't room enough in this town for both of us, .I don't like rats." ' In silence, Penny returned to her story, It was tough work, but when she had finished, she knew 7instinctively that she had done a good job, : LJ . . Penny would never forget the Thursday . afternoon when her first story was published. She "would always remember the thrill of watching the press roll slowly into action. "Then Joe, the press- man, lifted a page still wet with ink. She sav her feature em-' blazoned 'on the front page, ,-- "There, too, was Jim's editorial alongside his story of the fatal "bridge accident. He hadn't pulled any punches, Involuntarily, Pen ny shivered as she thought of the reaction his words would provoke among Kirktown's politicians, That first issue, together with her first pay cheque, Penny put aside as carefully as though they were her most treasured possess sions. She would alwoys cherish them, - was' Now Penny learned the joys that every creative artist must feel. Her mill story had caught the attention of many eyes in Kirktown, People went out of their way to meet her. She was 'as much at home now as though she had lived in Kirktown all her life. Ld LJ] . The days ahead were busy ones, 'Penny was happy in her work. -+ Her first mill story began a series of new adventures for her, Every department in the mills had a wealth of story material. She 'visited the teeming, busy littls mills so often that she was soon a familiar figure to the hard- working steelmakers, ' She wrote about their hobbies, Many of the men were inventors. Some had traveled extensively, and they-reporfed interesting ex- periences. Every weck, she learned more, too, about the grievances that dis- 'turbed the men's morale. They were petty things, mostly, Ideas, she found, were sarcastically re- jected, Men were discouraged from trying new methods and new techniques. Despite the modern facilities in- stalled in most departments in the mills, there were still a few places where safety devices had been neglected. There had been nasty accidents. * . * Many of the foremen and su- perintendents were hardbitten, ar- rogant, They aroused resentment rather than loyalty. Then, too, Kirktown offered . little recrea- tional outlet, and the workers had little incentive for selfimprove- ment, ~ 7 . All these things and more Penny discovered in her conver- sations, She found out, too, that in the men who worked in the Kirk mills there was the founda- tion for progress and growth. Steel' making coursed through their blood as much as printer's ink had begun to run through her veins. ' The time was coming, soon, when-Penny must make her de- cision. Should she take an active part in management of the mills? Should she shoulder the problems she knew existed? How would the Kirk executives react? And how would tough, independent, serap- py steelmen feel about working for a-frail girl who was a tiny- mite by comparison with them? She pictured. herself disciplin- Ing a giant worker towering above her, _ "Hm," she" said to herself, . laughing inwardly, "It might be fun at that."

"They are tired of hard- ships, sick of sacrifice. They la- ment the moral disintegration of their young women; they shudder at air raids; they weep over their dead. But nowhere do they be- tray the least suggestion of Ger- man guilt or regret for horrors 'which the German armies perpe- trate. p y Hard as ia their life, they know neither starvation nor despera- tion, Nor do they expect Ger- many to lose the war, To expect them at this time to revolt against Hitler is as futile and puerile as to expect the Fuehrer to live up to his promises or treaties.

Keeping the wheels moving with untrained personnel, especi- ally women, is the Nazis' main problem. Forty thousand work- ers' training schools have been established and Speer has ap- pealed for the good will of both workers and employers, Hitler, however, is not hand- ling the. situation with kid gloves. He went out of his-way in a re- cent addréss to warn of death to" "saboteurs." Broadly, this means that every obstructionist is sub- ject to execution. GARDEN NOTES By Gordon'L. Smith FE Food is just as important as bullets in this war, and for that reason gardening may almost be classed as an essential industry this year. Seeds are not going to be plentiful because formerly Canada depe.aded to a large ex- tent on Europe for supplies and these, of course, are cut off. Principal sources now are from those limited sections of Canada where garden seeds are grown and from the United States. In both arcas the weather was very un- favorable last season due to the fact that there was too much " rain.at. harvest time. Canadian 'seedsmen, however, have been able to secure supplies sufficient for normal needs if these are used carefully. There will not be the wide range of varieties usually obtainable, but in standard lines jt is expected that there will be enough to go around. Gardeners, however, are advised to order seeds early and to avoid any waste, ' * * kN ~In vegetables especially, begin. ners are urged to follow planting directions carefully, and to sow as thinly as posslble. It is also important that the garden soil be well repared, and at least a por- tion "of the garden planted early, To get maximum results one should spread plantings over sev- eral weeks, This will assure more protection against early frost and will also give a large total yield of vegetables, Those gardeners with "very small areas of land at their dis: posal are also urged to concen- trate on those vegetables like beans, carrots, beets, spinach, ete., which give the largest possible 'yields for the space occupied, Things like corn, potatoes, squash, ete, take up far more room, and where space is limited, it is ad- visable to purchase these from _ regular sources and to grow the smaller things in the home gar- den. : * * * Scientists have been giving ug many improvements in vegetables, Their work has been carried out ~in two directions; first, the in- troduction of vegetables unfamil- iar to most Canadians and, second and probably more important, vast improvement in those varie- ties that haye been grown in this country for years. Corn is a good example. At ong time it was possible to get only one variety of Bantam. Cobs were short and the season also, Now there are offered three or four different Bantam types, some extra early, some regular season, sonte late, Cobs have been lengthened, kernels made bigger, One can enjoy the finest table corn for over a month instead of but a week or two as in the old days. . Lawn grass must go in_early a most growth is made when the weather is still cool and wet, After digging, . the ground should be allowed to settle for a few days at least, and then levelled again, It is advisable to repeat this process several times. ~The top soil should then be raked fine and on a day without wind" the grass sown at a liberal rate, once across and once lengthwise. This double sowing insures an even distribution, For permanent lawns of deep green color and fine . texture, high quality seed from a reputable Canadian seed house ds vital. - Thrifty Scots.
