Never before In history has the demand for Canadian grown food- sirivings. "For he these things is blind,- seeing only what fs near." The word blind is here applied figuratively to the mind, "Having forgotten the cleansing from his old gins."

The word stands for "radio -detecting and ranging." Basis of operation, a high-fre- quency. radio ray, scanning air or gea, bounces back from objects it strikes: e.g., ships or planes. Radar measures the infinitesimal fraction of a second this takes (at 186,000 miles an hour), thus calculates distance as well as direction. Both Britain and Ger- "many have similar devices, ° distributed their filthy habits, we should not allow them to hve in a kitchen or a dining room any longer than it is absolutely necessary to kill them." Methods of Fly Control Do. not scrub water near the house, or in the back yard. Nothing attracts flies more quickly. Sink a box with a hinged cover but no bot- tom in the ground, and pour waste waler into this box to soak away. Keep the lid down and-the flies out. Screen the doors and windows of your house with mosquito net- ting. In the army refuse is burned or buried, and the same practice should be followed in civilian life, except of course where garbage is collected by the municipality. I'ood, water and milk supplies should be carefully protected from flies. Wilson's Fly Pads, properly about the house in plates of water, will attract and kill any flies that manage to get into the house despite the sereens. Tables, sink-boards, pantry shelves or any place where food is set -- and where flies have crawled-----shonld be cleaned with a scrubbing brush and soap or disinfectants, Adherence to these simple rules of hygiene will more than ¥épay the thought and effort by safeguarding the. nation's most precious asset, the health of our people, The latest development in jeep "accessories" is an amphibian trailer designed to carry a quar- ter-ton load. throw dith. water. or 18 It is (poet). 19 Eject. 20 Entomology (abbr.). 23 Samarium (abbr.). 28 Rots by exposure. 21 Feasts. 24 Girl's name. + American 25 Regret. otizen, --26 A= pile 38 Chinese T-- 27 Arabian measure. gazelle. 29 Withered.
