Mr. l-foolre was attacking the great Social Credit bogey, the financial system.

Liverpool and how £72000 hMl been collected in fines in 8118151111 from people who had been guilty of planting excess potato acreage. One skeptical Aibertan in the audience refused to take Mr. Hookers word for the story. He wrote to the British Government and enquired if this were true. The Department of Information, in reply, categorically denied the charges. The facts concerning potatoes were almost exactly opposite to M1‘. Hooked 5t0i‘y_ The people of Britain are being encouraged t0 increase potato acreage. As proof of this, Britain produced two mil- lion toils more potatoes in 19-11 than it did in 1939. The charge that one and a half million cases of oranges had been destroyed was described as fan- tastic. Occasionally, it ivas point- ed out, oranges were destroyed. but only because iney spoiled in ship- ment across the Atlantic. This was only to be expected when re- frigerator shipping was scarce and boats had to be re-routed in roundabout ways to make safe passage possible to Britain.

Coli- crcte is susceptible to the weaJier and liable to beccme not merely damp but soaked at times. If l'no 1s placed over concrete, owing to the fact that there is no llil. be- tween the floor arid tlie concrete. the ivct oi‘ dump just stays there flCCllmillllliilp until ilie lino be- comes completely‘ ruined. Such a floor should be TUIJILPPIII if possible by some kind of f .i'Iilg-—l\'108l of these are uiiobtaiiiaifle until lifter the war—-which are very hard wearing. From my wn experience f know it Is a dificult problem when comparatively new lino wears out on a concrete floor, as you cannot nail anything down and yet you must have some covering. Hair carpet is quite a good solution to ills problem, for it is a good deal heavier than coooanut matting and ls renllv safer as it is not so liable to get ruckcd up. A floor mop of the washable kind, dipped in a little paraffin. will clean most floors very well indeed Y .ier they can be don»: over with a polish mop. You will find that the paraffin mop gets friglitfully dirty, But it is quit/c easily washed. Have a bath full of boiling soda rvater, plunge the mop into this and, holding ihc hurdle. shake ‘it around for a time. 'll‘en, with a scrubbing brush-with a hiinrlle- brush out the mop as cleanly as you can. before taking it out of the soda water. Next rinse well to get as much surplus dirt cut as ncssible before plunging the mop into a bblllllq lather of soap TlflIfCS Shfiki‘ and brush again as before. flieii rinse the mop very well and squeem out. all surplus water bcforc hanging out to dry The whole process does not take long. and it does keep your IIOOI‘ mop; in good condition. which is important now that they are so scarce, Ordinarv polish mop: need washing too. after a time, and the sam-c method should be employed in dealing with them.
