Mistakes Will Occur Even inspired writers like Winston Chur- chill are guilty occasionally of pulling “boners". and an amusing example of just such anindis- cretion is cited by a writer in a western ex- change, In his book “A Roving Commission: My Early Life," published in I930, Mf- Chur- ehill told of a time in his youth when, all his plans having gone astray, he was at a loss to know what to do next. He wrote: "I was in the plight of a beaver that after laboring hard all winter to complete his carefully planned dam so as to have it in readiness for the spring fishing, found it swept away bv a fl00d. and with it all his hopes of good fishing." Anv Island school child could have told the distinguished author that a beaver is not at all interested in fish. His favorite food is the root of the water lily. He also feeds on berries and the bark and leaves of certain trees. To one reader. that fabulous fishing beaver stig- gested a joke, which he wrote down and sent to Piotr/i. llut Piotr/i did not regard lvfr. Chur- cliill's iuistzilte zibout the beaver as a thing to be joker] about. and didn't print it. .~\s for the licavci‘ \vll05€ ll°l7¢5 of good fishing were destroyed, you will have t0 100k 1o,- hlm in s copy of the first edition of that book by Mr, Churchill. He is not to be found in any latcr edition. Anot se Having been deceived so often in the past, the public no longer has any great confidence in the reliability of pre-election promises. There- fore it is unlikely that many people gave credi- bilitv to Labour Ivlinister Mitchell's assurance that, if his party was re-elected, National Sel- ective Service would “go down the drain so fast it will make your head swim." Those elect- ors who gave their votes on the strength of that promise, know now that once more their con- fidence was abused. Not only is NSS still in effect but one of its most essential features, National Registration, has just been extended for another year. That has been done, nf course, without anv reference to ‘Parliament. So contemptuous of citizens’ rights has the tioveminent become, says the Timer-Review, that it is almost pointless to recall that National Registration was introduced as a war measure. Its tremeiiloiis cost was out of all pro ortion to anv national benefit derived from it, and only those u-ith tyrannical tendencies would advocate its extension into the post-war period; because there is no reasonable justification for prolong- ing this infringement on personal liberty. exigencies of war have-made Cana- dians a docile people. They have tolerated re- straints and regimentation to a degree which, in pre-war days would have seemed incrediable. Now that the war is ended, there is no public outcry for the repeal of the numerous govern merit controls which were instituted only as means to strengthen the war effort. The Time:- Review concludes: "Prolonging the operation of National Registration can be taken as ii clear indication tion of divesting itself of much of the extra- ord-inary power given to it by parliament in war's emergency. The grip of the would-be dictators in Ottawa will be relaxed only when an out- raged citizenry reasserts itself, and threatens to ‘throw the rascals out.’ Unfortunately, that day seems to be not yet here." -.EDI roams notes- —-_- The Federal Parliament has begun to bomb politically, and to protect its members personally from would-be intrusionists. ' n l O I ' The seemingly never-ending summer of the close of the war. This will be a red-letter yur in more than one respect. I I O I The City Council has adroitly “passed the buck" to the Provincial Government in the mat- ter of post-war problems. Between them the city becomes the goat. Ill i‘ i i Suinmerside is strengthening its defence force, and wisely so. For such a comparative- ly small municipality it has developed quite a number of petty offenders who require watch- ing to be held in check. n t It n Are the bureaucrats on the retreat? Ac- cording to a Canadian Press Ottawa despatch, the powers that be are prepared to f0llo\v \\'ashingtori's example and abandon meat rZlflOll‘ ing after all. This gives point to Mr, Bracken's criticism that if meat rationing be now neces- sary it is due to Government bureaucratic mis- management. a a n- n: The London "Union of Ceylon Tea Plant- ers" have recently received the first "tea tab- lets” which should considerably simplify and cheapgn the production of tea. They are the result of a process based on long years of ex- periments carried out by the "CWlO" T93 Re‘ search Institute," which reduces the time re- quired in producing tea from 24 hours to 2 hours. By means of this process known as “P. F. C."-—the tea is made into compressed tablets which saves shipping space. The lB-lllQl-lOYm tea is also about 50 per cent stronger than tea in its present form, and allows for a reduction in price. The London organization is now gfillllg to undertake further tests and experiments with the tea tablets. I I U I Although an increase is shown in the per- centage of grade "A" hogs marketed, hog mar- ketings for the first six months of I945 show l1 considerable decrease as compared with the same period in I944, officials of the Saskatchewan department of agriculture have announced. From January I to July 3°. 1944 91¢ "umbe" of grade “A” hogs was e71 w wit of “is total marketings as compared with 3O per Cell! for the same months in 1945- In June. 1944- 236 per cent of the marketed hogs graded “A" while in June, I945, grade “A" h0g5 “'61”?- 25-6 per cent of total marketings. This would ind!- cate that producers are endeavouring to mar- ket their hogs at more desirable weights iii order to receive the benefits of the higher bonus awards. O I I U Herbert Henry, Earl of Oxford and As- quith, born this date I852, educated at the City of London School, and Balliol, Oxford, where he took first class honours, and became a _fel- low, called to the bar in I876, and came into prominence during the Parnell Commission; entered the House of Commons as Liberal mem- ber for East Fife, and moved the amendment to the Address which brought about the fall of the Salisbury Government; was a member~of each successive Liberal Government becoming Prime Minister 1908-16; an alliance of Mr. Lloyd George and his followers with Unionist members under Mr. Bonar Law led to his res- ignation, and in the debacle which followed he lost his seat in East Fm. h"! l" 192° he “'35 returned in a three-cornered fight for Paisley; was subsequently elevated to the II0use_ of Lords, but took little part there in political debates: “What is political discussion among the uneducated but to plough the sands (Arenas Aranfet)? . .

(Jolie Izyfolltcrv cxpliqittr Ian! de chases.) w n- a- m The essential difference between the Buf- render regimes in Japan and Germany is that as regards Japan, defeat had not destroyed the governmental fabric or political cohesion. In Germany both had been obliterated. Therefore in Japan the State is maintained under Allied control. In Germany Allied control is the State. But in dealing with Germany and Japan alike, the Allies emphasize their future dcpmds on their development of a democratic way of life. In proportion as that is achieved the two peoples will regain their sovereignty and inde- pendence. Like the German act of surrender. the Japanese is a brief document dealing with the execution of military orders, but without prejudice to all further conditions which the Allies may decide to impose. For Germany, such further conditions were laid down by the Potsdam conference, and are being carried out by the Allied Contol Commission in! Berlin. For Japan, further conditions remain to he de- fined. They will be carried out by the Allied Supreme Commander, assisted on political ques- tions by the Allied Advisory Commission, which it has recently been decided to set up. that the Government of the day has no inten- lng rm: ouanoiaiv Notes By n3 Way .._._. ,“-"-l|‘l| Wlllhm I.

Already manifold household goods are being produced from this material. including complete bath- rooms, electrtcul and klttxien equipment, picture frames and even fumfture.

The old frying n, long In ills- favor among diet tlans, seems on its way back to respectability, For many years we have been told that. the frying of food was a most unhealthy practice, Fried meat and fried potatoes and pancakes- were alleged to be highly indigest- ible and most uriauitable for hu- m-aii provender. Diseases ranging from night-blindness to chllblulns were blamed on the excessive use of these delicacies. Some histor- ians evcn went so far as to ALLY]- bute the defeat of the South in the Civil War o the southerners’ addiction to beaten biscuits and other products of the "deep-fat" school of cookery. Now all this is changed. For the first tlme a really scientific inquiry has been made Into ttie subject, and it has showed some surprising results. It now appears that fried vlctuals are actually more easily digested than any others, and the more thoroughly they have been fried the less indlgestfble. - From the Vancouver Province. I-‘lsls, one of the few creatures on thLs earth to llve entirely in water, can do many amazing things, but they still need free oxygen to breathe, the same as on or l.

A flsh can actually drown ln water. That statement; seems un- believable, yet I have seen perfect- ly normal flsh dle in water which had had all the free oxygen taken from lt. In the case of most fish, they must not only have oxygen but also ixcurrent to help force the life-giving substance Into the gills. Contrary to what most peo- ple hlnk. and I even thought ll: until a, short time ago, a ,t_ls doesn't, ust. open hls gills and let water ow rough 1n get hls ‘air.’ That; 'alr' must. be forced into the gills by menus or pressure from the water, whlon takes the form of currents.

By this means the preliminary cleaning ls done and all earth and other extraneous matters are re- moved. Prom the cylinders the materials drop onto moving belts which carry them to work tables ln which there ls a constantly revolv- ing centre belt. On each side of these work tables women stand shoulder to shoulder and rapltllv pick out: all faulty pieces of material. On completion of this process the same women in some cases pick up the materials and flll them Into empty cans, placing the cans when filled on an upper moving shell which curries them to the closing machine. passing as they move un- der streams of llquld salt; or sugar as required. In other cases the cleansed materials are placed in tubs or large vessels and otherwise treated. of a whole battery of closing mn- chlnes and as the lids are sealed the cans fall lrito large circular retorts about five or sfx feet In diameter holding hundreds of cans. These r-etortsare raised by a crame to the cooking room where several of them are (placed one on top of the other fnsl e a steam j screw bolts and llve steam ls then turned on up to i; given tempera- ture ranging from a few degrees up to boiling point according to the nature of the products being treat‘ ed and for a period of tlme from ten or fifteen minutes to as much as two hours.
