Warns attack ilear should Britain fall

By George Kitchen Canadian Press Staff Write!‘

MONTREAL, May i9 —-(CP) Rt. Hon. Arthur B. Purvis. @1181!‘- man of the British supply council of North Amefica, warned today that should Britain fall it would be but a. few weeks before Can- ada would feel the threat of enemy attack.

"Obviously our own peril, for peril it is, is but; partially appreciat- yed," Mr. Purvis told an audience

of 1.500 at a victory loan lunch- , con. "In We face of war experience tthere is on this side of the water ; s lack of sense of personal danger ‘even now. a feeling that distance [will take care of us. “The Atlantic Ocean is thought ‘of as a barrier to the possibility of totalitarian attack. Were Enl- land to fail it would be but a few weeks. not months, before we felt L30 threat, to our homes in Can- a a. ‘The pincers movement would begin once again, this time to close on North America. And. with the Atlantic Ocean a broad and easy highway for the attacker, Eastern Canada and south and Central America. would be fire aim of the pincer points. Meantime, Japan would fall upon our backs."

Some, added Mr. l-‘iurvis. may call such reasoning "improbable, fan- tastic." so thought many European nations now in bondage.

‘thus. he added, the $000,000,000 victory loan must be a. success for the evidence that it will provide that Canada "appreciates the grav- ity of its position, of that of the Eimpirc and of democracy itself."

Canadian Gov’t ‘lenders for ll. S. equipment

By J- F. Sanderson

Canadian Press otaff Writer WASHINGTON, May 19 ~—(CP)-—

The Canadian government has sub-

mitted tenders to the United States

army on millions of dollars worth of ordnance supplies, it was learn- ed here today.

This followed a survey of the raw materials and manufacturing ca- pacity of Canada by a. group of American army officers, resulting from the Hyde Park declaration and its policy of each country help- ‘tng the other to expedite and in- l crease production of wartime sup- lplies for the democracies.

i Two other surveys of Canada's productive capacity have been com- pleted, one by tile United States nnvy, relating to the construction of Corvettes and mlnesweepers, and the other by the maritime com- mission, relating to construction of merchant ships.

It ls expected here that within a short time orders will be placed in Canada for a wide range of ord- nance suppllcs, small warships,

imerchant ships and chemicals, ex-

plosives and minerals required in

equipment, is often t tho defence program of the Unit-

, ed States.

Each order placed in Canada will have a direct bearing on the aid- to-Britain policy of ttie American government because it is expected that theslilps, as they come off the ways, w"ll be turned over to Brit- ain and the chemicals and explo- sives used to fill shells that will be transferred to Britain

So far. no orders for ships or ordnance have been placed in "Uan- ada. Orders for Corvettes and minesweepers may be placed within the next: few days but orders for merchant ships may be placed merchant ships may be delayed while Howard L. Vickery. a member of the maritime commission. makes an inspecflon trip of facilities on thg west coast of Canada. He ext-cots to lésave fo_r Vancouver late this wee .

as the flies are not active. Never treat radisbes when they are near- ly rmdy to use as there is great danger of poisoning. Corrosive sub- limate corrodes metals and contifn- ers should be thoroughly washed. Be sure it is not left lying around as it is B deadly poison. The anti- dote ls e g vilrite oi" milk iolloived in ten m nutes with an emetic. The onion maggot resembles the cabbage maggot but attacks onions instead. The maggots bore in the leaves, stem and bulbs of the young onions. Some eggs are hid in the soil, others on the leaves. The mag- gots hatch tn five days and become ull grown in about fifteen days. There are usually three broods a year in May. July and September. The best control method is to spray with a 2 percent lubricating oil emul- sion. The ingredients are lubricat- ing oil 2 gals, water 2 gals, blue- stone 4oz._ fresh hydrated lime 4 oz. Dissolve the bluestoneand dil- ute with water to 1 gallon. To the other gallon of water add the hydrated lime. Then flour this into the gallon of bluesione and mix at once, mix well, This makes 2 gal- lons of Bordeau mixture. Now pour this into the two gallons of oil and w’th a good pump mix thoroughly. This makes 4 gallons of stock mix- ture, which Wll9fl,(lll‘lll.€fl to 1C0 gallons makes n 2 bet‘ cent solution. Only make enough for one day's work as the emulsion is not. very stable. Spraying should be done as soon as eggs are found in the ground, about itDPlQ blossom time. The first spray is the most import- ant. Four sprays with an interval of a week between should be given ‘It's nozzle shntild be held near the plant so that the spray w i1 be con- centrated on them. The ground im- mediateiy around each plant should be thoroughly wet and ahotit 140 gallons used per acre at each appli- cation. Corrosive sublimatc may be used the same as for cabbage mag- got and in very dry iveather some times has given better results. 1t is however much more cxpcttsivc. Burn all infest/rd onion bulbs at harvesfing time.

When spreading merngtics on,

“KINDNESS WHILE I LIVE"

Klndnes While I live I would rather have a boquct of roses

From the garden of a friend,

Than have the costliest flowers When to this world I say iinien.

I would rather have one pleasant word

With love so good and true,

Than flattery vLen my life has

gone And to this world I bid adue.

I would rather have the swcetcs: smile

From the friends I love so flcai".

‘Ihan tears shed o're my lifeless iorm

And sins of earth no more I fear

I would rather have one deed of kindness Shown to me while here I exact Than privses when my lteart has ceased And gone to eternal bliss.

Bring me all of your flowers now,- The violets or roses of deep deep

I would rather have one floiicr to- 8v Tran my casket full when l am dead.

Many Methods of Decorating Windows

Windows are not only sources of light, but must be considered in the furnishing scheme. If they are badlv pieced Oi‘ are ugly in shape and size, attention can be drawn away from them by treating them simply and making them a part of the background.

0f course, corrective measures may be used. to cover up defects in size and shape. The curtain for the long, narrow window should emphasize horizontal lines to de- crease the apparent length of the window and the short, squatty window's curtain should eliminate the horizontal line and make ver- tical lines trumps.

Helping Views

In considering the types of cur- taining there are at least three possibilities: -

(l) Simple thin curtains cover- ing the windows.

t2) Thin or heavy curtains hung at the sides of the windows.

(3) Heavy curtains with thin cur- ‘

tains beneath

If there is a beautiful view to be seen from the window, by all means push back the curtains.

Materials suitable for thin cu:- tains are - maxqiilsette, cheese- cloth. voile, net, theatrical gauze, etc, for heavy curtains, or side cur- talns—voile, gingham, crepe, dam- ask dyed, cretonne, monks cloth blocked linen. linen crash, velvet, etc. when using heavy and tnin curtains at the some window have them related in color and texture. '

Use of Valance:

If a valance is used, let if. not be too deep, not deeper than the side curtains appear wide. If used be tween curtains, its fullness should correspond with the fullness of tho side curtains-carried across the window will probably make it ap- penr wider and shorter. But wheth- er or not a valance should be used will be determined by the size and shape of the particular window. Sometimes a. cornice board with curtains coming from beneath it will serve to carry the eye ocmss the window, or again the pole may be stained like some part of the side curtains.

In most. cases, if the curtains cover the casing at the side, they should also cover it at the top find bottom: or. if part is shown, the same amount be eiuposed at the top.

By extending the pole beyond the cas1ng,_the window can be made to look wider; and again, by placing it above the casing can be made to look higher. most attractive position for tains.

Curtains certainly are a, factor in the attractiveness of a room.

Floor coverings, being such ex- pensive things to replace, pay over and over again for good care and renovation. For cleaning, your vac-

regularly and slowly.

Shaking doormats raises clouds of dust-a nuisance if you have only a small outdoor space to shake m. To avoid this lay the rug pile downwards on the ground and beat it with the wooden head of a broom If you have to do this indoors lay an old cloth, well moistened over the lJilCk of the rug to catch the rlu-t.
