'Dig Health Garden Is Expert Nutritionists' Advice "Dig health out of your garden" is | Vitamin C and those people are lucky the advice given this spring by Nu- trition Services, Department of Pen- sions and National Health. Canadians co-operating in the Wartime Victory Garden campaign can assure them- selves not only of plenty of sunshine and healthful exercise but of a suffi- cient amount of vitamins to tide them 'lover next Fall and Winter. Because the demand for vegetables is greater than ever this year and the problems of shipping them across the continent present more difficulties, families, whereever pos- sible, should grow their own to be sure of an adequate supply. Make your victory garden a vita- min garden, say the nutriitonists. Vitamin A is needed for eyesight and to help combat colds so carrots, spin- ach, squash, parsley and _ lettuce should be grown. Vitamin C is good for the teeth and gums as well as for blood vessels so potatoes, cabbage, cauliflower, turn- ips and parsnips are important in the Vitamin Victory Garden.

In advocating the adoption of a na- tional fuel policy, Progressive Conser- vative Leader John Bracken develop- ed a timely subject before a gathering of weekly newspaper men who are al- ready placing his views before their readers. In British Columbia, Alberta, and the Maritimes, coal deposits are abundant, but as Mr. Bracken pointed out, definite national fuel and man- manpower policies are necessary if an adequate fuel output is to be main- tained. Ontario and Quebec, with about two-thirds the total population of Can- ada within their borders, are depend- ent in a large degree on imported coal for domesti cheating. Ontario has for years favored Pennsylvania anthra- cite, though in latter years the use of coke, and of Welsh and other blower coals has been increasing. Yet it is stated that the so-called acute fuel area of central Canada depends chief- ly on imported anthracite for domes- tic use. Even in the present heating season, American mine strikes, trans- portation difficulties and increased demand have caused hardship and suffering. Development of the extensive peat 'bogs of Ontario and Quebec is now being urged. It is pointed out that some years ago British and Norwe- gZian scientists developed a peat-bri- yuetting process giving a fuel hard, clean and more economically trans- ported than anthracite. Canada possesses the third largest peat bogs in the world--37,000 square miles, as against 65,000 in Russia, 38,- %00 in Finland, and 19,200 in Sweden. Certainly successful development of Canadian peat resources would reduce dependence on imported fuels, and save 15 to 20 per cent. in fuel costs. When briquetted the fuel is clean, leaves little ash and is suitable for burning in conventional types of heat- ing equipment. Russia's factories are said to be operated in large measure by steam- generated electricity with peat as a fuel. In industrial plants powdered peat has been found satisfactory. Some 25 years ago the federal gov- ernment conducted numerous experi- ments at the peat bogs at Alfred, On- tario. In the interim, of course, the development of briquetting has revo- lutionized former theories of establish- ing Canadian peat as a convenient and popular fuel. It is probable that more will be heard of the proposals for develop- ment of Canadian peat resources be- fore many months have passed.

Poole, fish and game re- presentative of Canadian National Railways, just returned from Freder- icton, where he attended the annual meeting of the Guides and Outfitters Association of New Brunswick. "In the records of the Restigouche Salmon Club, compiled over a period of fifty-eight years, 1942 shows as the best year in the club's history," Mr. Poole stated. "Reports from the gov- ernment open reserve waters on the Restigouche also indicates the best year in the history of thees stretch- es, even surpassing the records of 1941 by a wide margin. Over 8,000 pounds of salmon were taken in 1942 as compared with 5,000 pounds in 1941. Creel reports show that the sal- mon were all of a large run of fish. For weeks the Restigouche Salmon Club showed an average of nine pounds with some individual fisher- men averaging twenty-two pounds." Late one night, a friend of Thomas Edison, seeing a light burning in the scientist's private laboratory, climbed the stairs and found Edison toiling away over some intricate problem. "Hello Tom!" he cried, "aren't you ever going home?" "What time is it?" Edison asked as he came out of a sleepy stupor. "It's after midnight. Come on." "Is that so?" Edison replied.
