No Canadian today shOuld be concerned with anything else than that we should fight as hard as we can for the preservation of life and free- d0111.

Mr. Matthew MacNatnara of WPBE Whisky Conversion Branch informed the National Alcohol Beverage Control Association that 476,000,000 gallons of alcohol would be rc- quired for war purposes ncxt year. He explained that more than half of that amount would be needed in making synthetic rubber —butadiene —:1nd that the balance would be used in producing smokeless powder and for various essential mili- tary and civilian uses. But there are still seven million gallons of reserve whiskey in stock to supply the wants of imbibcrs.

Art demands sacrifices these days on account of war. When Miss Eleanor Esmondc-lfVhite, a young London artist, accepted a South African contract to paint murals for the new Law Courts in Johannesburg, it meant she and her family had to give up their egg ration for a year. A con- dition of the contract was that the murals be painted in egg-tempera --tl1e use of the yolk of the eggs with water for mixing the paints. The egg seals 11p every particle of the pigment and allows no chemical action to take place so the work always looks frcsli. The Esmondc-White family is composed of only three-father, mother and daughter —— so their rations for a year didn’t produce 0110111111 eggs and officials of South Africa House i11 London also gave up some eggs to hclp the artist do the job.
