Every additional member of the Reserve Army means that another member of the Active Army can be re- leased for overseas duty. Not only that, but the Reserve Army is doing a fine job in training 17 and 18-year- old boys in the art of soldiering so that they will be ready to take their place in the army when they come of age. These facts lend color to the cam- paign now under way for recruits for all Reserve units in Military District No. 1. Modern equipment, including weapons and training vehicies is now available to the Reserve Army in ample quantities. Men are needed now to prepare themselves to handle this equipment. An untrained army is simply a mob, which can only bring disaster upon itself and upon those it seeks to protect. Months of training are needed to make an effi- cient soldier under present-day condi- tions of warfare. At present many of the Reserve units in M.D. 1 have been greatly depleted by reason of enlistments in the Active Army. New blood is needed. The Reserve Army can now enlist men up to 55 years of age, not callable under the N.R.M.A., as weil as youths of 17 and 18 years. The opportunity is thus' offered to thou- sands of young and middle-aged Can- | adian men in Western Ontario to do their bit. In industrial, business and professional firms there are countless men who have found it impossible to enlist for active service because of family or business ties. There are a few who could not sacrifice one or two evenings a week and a fortnight at camp to learn about army life, how to handle a rifle or a machine gun to improve _ their physical. condition against the day of need. You want to do your part to pro- tect your home and your family, to preserve the freedom and the demo- cratic way of life which you have en- joyed. Thousands of young Can- dians have died over England, over Europe and at Hong Kong, to do those very things, to protect you and yours from marauding Hun tardly Jap. You can do your bit now by signing up with the Reserve Army DO IT NOW--TODAY. ~ . wn) and das- A MIRROR UP TO NATURE Animals reflect their surroundings: their faces grow refined or stupid ac- cording to the people with whom they live.

This is the reason why ironing experts point out that it is best to do rayons and silks, or other low-temperature fab- rics first, and work up to the heavy cottons which need a high tempera- ture to be ironed properly. Rayons need low, and particularly in the case of acetates, need very low heat. It is wise to try out the iron first on a portion of the fabric that does not show. Silks need moderate to low heat. A damp pressing cloth should be used on the wrong side of the garment. A light colored silk should then be ironed on the right side, and dark colored ironed on the wrong side un- til the pressing cloth is dry. A hot iron will scorch this fabric very quick- ly. Wools need moderate heat. Again, a damp pressing cloth. should be placed on the wrong side of the fab- ric, and the iron should be pressed down lightly. The iron should be lifted and placed on the next area. Ironing experts say that the iron should never be moved up and down the material as in ordinary ironing. If this operation is done properly, the garment should still be moist when the ironing chore is over. The wool garment should be hung up to dry thoroughly. Cottons require the use of a rela- tively hot iron. When the various fabrics pop up on the ironing board, ironing tempera- tures should be followed closely. Un- less otherwise advised, ironing should be done with straight strokes, and with thé thread of the material. This is especially important with bias cut garments, if the original shape is to remain. War Prisoners' Special Permits Are Available For some time now special permits have been available for Canadians sending sugar, tea and coffee, in per- sonal parcels to next-of-kin who are prisoners of war. This is good news because it means that purchases of these goods do not cut into their own rations. A form known as "Prisoners of War Purchase Permit" is being sent to ali next-of-kin by the Department of National War Services. This form is made out in duplicate, one copy to, be sent to the Ration Administrator of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board in Montreal, the other to be left with the merchant from whom the rationed commodity is purchased. Postal censors check each parcel to prisoners to make certain that articles purchased are sent along to the boys in the prison camps. Quantities which may be sent in any personal parcel to a prisoner of war includes up to one pound of cof- fee, and a quarter of a pound of tea, and two pounds of sugar, which may be made into hard candy.

B. Pett, director of Nu- trition Services at Ottawa. When the first settlers came to Can- ada they relied on the wild animals and birds that abounded in the for- ests to provide a large part of their food. Whether they liked it or not, the early settlers ate, from necessity, a diet in which meat played a prom- inent part. Their descendants took the eating of large amounts of meat for granted and successive generations developed into a race of meat lovers. The advent of meat rationing will certainly reduce the amount of meat eaten by Canadians, especially by those in the higher income brackets, for the amount of meat eaten increas- es as the income rises. The advisory committee on nutri- tion to the Foods Administration, of which Dr. Pett is a member, states that the allowance of rationed meat plus customary and available amounts gives more than the amount of ani- mal protein necessary for a person of any occupation. With the assurance that nutrition will not suffer as a result of meat rationing, Canadiang adjust themselves to the changes it will bring in their normal eating habits.
