NAH SE Illegal To Give ~ Away Rationed Food In Britain Everyone In Country Should Share And Share Alike It has been illegal to give away rationed foods even to your mother, unless she lives with you -- ever since Britain's complex _'is just beginning to get around. Thousands, "it secms, have just heard about the law--and what a row they have raised. The ball started rolling when a magistrate in a rural district told a puzzled inhabitant hailed into court for infringing food regula- tions that it is an offence. punish- able by six months' imprisonment, to give away rationed goods, As a matter'of fact, the Ministry of Food has been saying that for 3% years, It's all down in black and white, too. The legal offence of giving away rationce goods is established by an order of the ministry which' prohibits anyone from obtaining them without surrender of cou- pons to a registered supplier. That's clear enough, Lut there are a lot of funny-sounding ex- ceptions. - Persons may give away a meat pie, for instance, but they aren't allowed to give away the meat that goes to make the pie. Many Oddities You can give butter, tea, sugar or other ratiored foods to your mothera--or mother-in-law if you" have one -- if she lives in your home. But it's illegal to do so if she lives next door. Home-made jams can be given as a 'present, 3 but not jaw bought from the { - grocer. Hd You can't give anyone sugar, but if a friend supplies fruit and ~« you make your sugar and his fruit into jam you can give away the jam. It is not an offence to use ~ rationed foods to entertain a guest or for a guest to bring ra- tioned "goods, provided they are for his own use. You can invite a tramp indoors and seat him at a table to enjoy a slice of bread and butter, but it is an offence to give him a handout and send. him on his way. The tramp is supposed to have a butter ration of his own. The Ministry has plenty of rea- sons for ruling that people haven't the right to do what they like--except eat them themselves --with rationed or "points" foods legitimately acquired. The rations are scientifically-measured per- sonal allowances designed to keep people fit and no more. > All Share Alike Those who drew up the laws ~"worked on the theory that every- one should share and share alike and that no one is entitled to, or requires, more than the rationed allowance. This makes it im- possible for well-to-do persons to buy 'rations from tli¢ poor or, to extend the point, make surrender of rations a condition of employ- ment. J Queries about the whys and wherefores, officials countered by asking how people managed to save tea, sugar or whatever it is from meagre rations. They sug- - gested that persons who don't eat AN SSN 3 SE STi certain rationed foods or don't HEE need all they get should leave § : what they don't want in the na- tion's food pool, thereby énsing. the burden .of shipping. 3 F Meanwhile, the Food Ministry and papers throughout the coun- try have been flooded with let- ters from people protesting against what they called the. "de- nial of their right" to do as they liked with their rations, Railway Passenger Travel Cut Down The trains are crowded because the railways have the biggest job LA ig 4 fn their history on their hands in 13 looking after really essential traf- X i fle, says The Brockville Recorder g : and Times. Locomotives which are used to haul passengers who don't really need to travel can't be employed In hauling freight E: trains of war materials. Coaches occupied by civilians going home to gee mother, who want to attend -- a hockey match, to do some shop- ping or just to attend.the movies, can't be uséd for handling troops. - Moreover, the railways can't get new motive power and rolling § = stock as they used to get them, FF nor can they repair their equip- - ment as it used to be repaired. ° That's why sections of passenger 4 trains have been cut down, why 1 . the rallways are handling only A coach trafic and eliminating the de luxe and unnecessary parlor © ears, why trajns are crowded and | © unthinking people are complain. i eo best way to avoid the con "ditions which lead to these com- plaints 1s for civilians to keep oft iq ~ the trains, as they have been ask. ¢d to do and ns they will, it they g A are well advised, do In their own dnterests and convenience, rationing scheme was introduced , when war started, but' the news - TUNISIAN STICK-UP I'wo Italian soldiers, hands up-raised and one with a white flag, surrender to an officer of a High. land iin Mie The photo was made when the British Eighth Army captured Gabes, Axis supply port in Tunisia after chasing Marshal Rommel's troops out of the Mareth Line. -e FOREIGN MARKETS LOOK WITH FAVOR ON OUR WINES MPROVEMENT in quality which has taken place over the past decade is gradually gaining recog- nition for Canadian wines in cer- tain foreign markets, In the West Indies, Belgian Congo, India, Central and South America an appreciation of the quality of Canadian red and white "still table wines, champagnes and sparkling burgundies, sherrics and ports, has expressed itself in a growing volume of orders, In this development, Canadian Trade Commissioners have bgen a most helpful contributing factor, This export business which was cothmencing to develop just prior to the war has continued, but of course has been greatly restricted due to war-time regulations and the lack of shipping space. However, the possibilities for the development of an important _volume of export business have the ~ been clearly indicated and wineries of Ontario and the West Coast are preparing to take full advantage of this opportunity in the post-war period. "Improvement and modernization of plant facilities, processing equipment and laboratory con- trols. have been consistent. With ~ the assistance of the Vineland ® Horticultural Station of the On- tario Department of Agriculture, new and better types of grapes have been developed, Today our domestic wines are worthy and palatable products. Many people in Canada are inclined to count the quality of such wines because of their low price. This, however, is a fallacy as Canadian wines are pure, being ntade under strict governmental supervision and inspection. In all casgs wines must comply, when sold, with the Food and Drugs Act of the. Do- minion Governnient. They are low in price -only because they are a domestic product. Sod In 1942, grapes were the most valuable fruit crop. of Ontario, . Seventy per cent of this crop was purchased by the wineries at an equitable price which is each year agreed upon between the grape growers and the wineries and ap- proved by the Liquor Control Board of Ontario. Therefore, the development of an export market for domestic wines is of economic importance not only from the viewpoint of international trade balances but also to assist the wineries in maintaining - the pre- sent dependable and - profitable market for the increasing quan- tities of grapes grown in British Coluabia and the Niagara Penin- sula, WHAT SCIENCE IS DOING FURNACE OF THE FUTURE .Memo for the future: Fire the handyman and instal a furnace that streamlines its appetite and takes so little tending, it ceases to be a back-breaking chore. The University of which designed this sleek new' basement apparstus, blandly con- cedes you can't buy one now, but thinks everyone should know what will be available once the war is won. i Our old furnaces got their fig- ures from the pot-bellied stove of the past, but this one is neat and square and compact, And here's a point to please the housewife--the new furnace eats its own smoke, putting soot in the "remember when" class, The uni- versity Bays this smoke-eating, ha- bit cuts fuel consumption in half, J. R. Fellows and J. C. Miles are the engineers who invented the furnace, and their description of the operation makes it a reall simple thing. Just throw coal in by bucketsful, théy say, and the ashes drop into a removable pan which can be tossed around with- out the usual cloud ol dust, The same basic furnace box can be fitted for three types of honte installation, They are a gravity Illinois, warm-air furnace; a forced circu- ' lation hot-air furnace, or a space heatgr. Even if your old furnace isn't ready for the scrap heap, Profes- sor Fellows has a gadget to curb its appetite, eliminate smoke and give more heat, His device separ- ates the firepot into two cham. 7 bers--one for coal and one for "the fire. v The fresh coal chamber is open at the bottom, and its walls extend down to the glowing coals of the : fire, As the heat releases smoke and gases from the fresh coal, they must pass under the walls to es- cape, The walls are hollow, and bring heated air to the point where tho.smoke and gases meet the fire, and then, just as simple as this: They burn, sModern Etiquette 'By Roberta Lee 1.

Gracie Fields told the story of Mrs. Croggins, whose son Jimmy had been stationed for some time in Australia. On an outing to the London Zoo, she came upon some kan- garoos leaping about with their babies in their pouches. A sign on the cage read: "Natives of Australia." Eyeing the sign in consterna- tion, Mrs. Croggins cried: 'Natives of Australia! Lumme, and Jimmy just wrote me he married one of those." Passenger: "I've been wait. _ ing for a bus for 10 minutes. Then "five of them come along together. you arrange it better?" e 'Operator: "Well, you see, we're working in convoys now. We haven't lost a single bus so far." At a village concert for troops, men from the nearby camp turned up in force, The local soprano was obliging with "Annie_Laurie," and the sol- diers were beginning to get res- tive, As she reached the lines: "And for bonnie Annie Laurie I'd lay. me doon and dee," a voice came from the back of the hall: "Is there a Miss Laurie in the house?"

Before this war he even did some testing for the Germans, and he knows all about their dive-bombers. He told me some interesting facts about these machines, From our point of view, though obvi.us- ly not that of Hitler's Nazis, the great objection to dive-bomber planes is the terrible way they use up their pilots. Dive-bombing is done at a terrific pace and, every time a pllot dives, and jerks up -227,874 gallons of rum to the United the 'nose of the machine to rise - again, he gets what is known as "a blackout." This Is familiar enough to air men who make sudden turns at high speed, But it is exaggerated in the case of the dive-bomber pilot and every time he repeats the operation the blackout period Is longer. It may be only a second or two at first, but «t steadily in. creases and eventually may extend to as much as half a minute. What is likely to happen to a machine, travelling at over 300 m.p.h, with its pilot "out" for half a minute, seems falrly certain, Py U. 8.
