I rADIO BBX notes There is _ indeed something wrong with radio. We wish it would do more to entertain rather than carry du.l speeches for the supposed enlightenment of listenâ€" ers. Good music is the form of entertainment in which it has least competition. But instead of makâ€" ing itself supreme in the providâ€" ing of highâ€"ciass music, radio apâ€" pears to skimp that department of its usefulness. As a matter of fact, some of the best music heard over the radio is from records. Many people feel dissatisfied, especialâ€" ly those who think that in the sphere of highâ€"class adult enterâ€" tainment the radio is falling short of _ its _ opportunities.â€" Toronto Star Surely those Toronto press photographers could think â€" of something more originalâ€"and less embarrassing in the victims afterâ€" wardsâ€"than the eternal closeâ€"up pictures of soldiers kissing their wives and sweethearts goodâ€"bye. â€"St. Thomas Timesâ€"Journal.

Adjust rubâ€" ber rings and tops of jars or sealâ€" ers. Partially seal. Sterilize. 4. Seal as soon as removed from sterilizer, and 5. Jars containing meat should not be allowed to cool while inâ€" verted because the fat will hardâ€" en at the bottom rather than at the top of the jar. Two Methods There are two methods of canâ€" ning poultry. The first is: kill birds, then thoroughly coc!l and draw. Wash carefully. Disjoint legs and wings. Cut breast careâ€" fully from bone.

One very persistent story claimed that Mussolini would shortly come forâ€" ward with a peace proposal, accepâ€" table to the Allies, by which Hitler would retire in favor of the Goerâ€" inz clique after giving up all the territory he had â€" recently taken (Sudetenland and Polish Corridor excepted); in return for his serâ€" vices as ambassador of peace, the report ran, Mussolini was to be gi ven a special sphere of influence in the Balkans, Then â€" the story came to its logical conclusion â€" everybody would go to war againsl Russia.
