Steady there! Why must you

Preserving Kettles

Although manufacture of pre-
serving kettles is still permitted,
f these utensils are made from the
same type of steel sheets that
jare in constant demand for the
manufacture of tanks, universal
carriers and ships; for this reas-
on, retailers are asked to point
out to their customers that new
kettles should not be purchased
unless it is absolutely necessary.

Paper Handkerchiefs

No government order restrict-
ing the manufacture or sale of
facial tissues is in existence. In-
creased sales can be attributed
to: Increasing use of tissue ’ker-
chiefs by the armed forces; move-
ment of population from farms
to industrial areas; shortage of
cotton and linen handkerchiefs;
increased’ purchasing power of
the public generally. The Board
fully understands the need to
make more supplies available
both as a health measure and to

a prominent man died as the re-
sult of having at some time, con-
sumed raw milk. This man was
Edsel Ford, president of the Ford
Motor Corp. He died after a short
illness, from undulant fever.
|. Bang’s disease in cattle, which
gives rise to undulant fever in
man, is not the oniy infection
spread by raw milk. Tuberculos-
is, diptheria, scarlet fever and
typhoid can also*be transmitted.
The summer months are par-
ticularly hazardous in regard to
milk consumption. Flies are pre-
valent and summer temperatures
promote the rapid growth of or-
ganisms. Thus, the greatest care
must be taken in the handling of
milk utensils and environment.
Since, at present, no provision
is made for pasteurization on a
provincial scale, the general pub-
lic must protect itself in rural
areas, by individual effort, i.e.,
by home pasteurization. A rela-
tively simple method has been
set down by the Department of
Health of the province of Ontar-
jo which has had compulsory
pasteurization for a number of
years past. The method is:

VANCOUVER VICTORIA Heat to 143 degrees Fahrenheit.
EDMONTON CALGARY Maintain for 30 minutes.
Cool immediately to 50 degrees
or lower.

RED CROSS JUNIORS
TO GIVE $10,000 TO
MME. GHIANG KAI-SHEK

Also Help Support
Nurseries in England

A cheque for $10,000 to be used
for the relief of suffering chil-
dren in China will be presented
to Madame Chiang Kai-Shek by
the Canadian Junior Red Cross
when she visits Ottawa in the
near future.

This is only one of the many
worthwhile objectives of the ap-
proximate 850,000 Junior Red
Cross members in every part of
Canada. They help support 14
Canadian Junior Red Cross Nurs-
eries in England for small war
orphans between the ages of two
and five years, besides financing
medical aid for many crippled
and handicapped children in Can-
ada. It is also planned to spend
at least $25,000 to help feed the
thousands of starving children
in Europe who are brought into
Switzerland every three months
to be properly nourished,

They are doing their part to
make the lives of prisoners of
war more endurable and health-
ier, Last spring they donated

$40,737 from their National War
{Fund to purchase 1000 medical
instruments of various kinds, as
well as 200 mouth organs and 20
sets of traps to help prisoners of
war relieve the monotony of the
long, long days of prison life.

One thousand dollars was spent
for 15,000 pencils and 22,000
each of the latter inscribed “Gift
of the Canadian Junior Red
Cross.” Plans are underway to
purchase a large quantity of 4en-
tal equipment. for prisoners,

food. Yet only a short time ago,!

In addition the Junior Red
| Cross is being called upon to take
an ever-growing share of the re-

| SPonsibilities of the adult Red

‘Cross Society.”

world. The teachers of Canada
who enroll their students as
members and direct their activi-
ties in worthy work, are making
the greatest possible contribution

Gordon, in a recent address as
chairman of the executive com-
mittee of the Canadian Red
Cross Society.

boys overseas from. this area. The
cost is considerable and is allevi-
ated*by the sale of tickets on the
monthly drawing. By buying tie-
kets you help provide the boys
with much - appreciated parcels
and also boost the sale of War
Savings Certificates.
Greek Relief Fund

As in the case of the Aid to
Russia Fund, there being no
community organized sponsorship
for the Greek War Relief Fund,
the Legion secretary will accept
donations to this worthy cause
and forward them to the author-
ized headquarters. British Colum-
bia is asked for $30,000. No quota
has been set for the M-S-A Area,
but how much can we send to
show the Greeks who have not
yet staryed to death before help
reaches them that we are ready
to do something more than ex-
press our appreciation verbally.
Remember their heroic stand, sac-
rifices and suffering. Donations
may be addressed to or left at
the Canadian Legion office, Ab-
botsford.

Winners in the June draw of
the Mutual Benefit Draw were:
$10 War Savings Certificate, 3G

L.! McDonald, Rita, C. Friesen,
D. W. McDonald and T. G. Por-
ter.

The next draw will be held on
July 8 and tickets for it are ob-
tainable from the secretary and
Legion members. Persons buying
the tickets, besides getting a
chance on one of the prizes, are
instrumental in providing a con-
tinuous supply of parcels to our
boys overseas, Your help is need-
ed. Do your bit!

This week the Legion is end-

boiler, dairy thermometer, stir-
ring rod or spoon since all parts
of the milk must be uniformly
heated and cooled, ice cold con-
tainer or frigidaire for immedi-
ate cooling.

Another simpler method is by
boiling the milk for three minutes
over the direct heat.

We should like to compliment
the dairymen in the M-S-A Area
on their foresight and judgment
in forming the Bang’s Free As-
sociations. This is definitely a step
in the right direction, because for
the prevention of undulant fever,

pasteurization is not enugh.

A.tHoucH we, the Canadian railways, are carrying
vastly more traffic than at any time in history, we are
also building guns and tanks, ships and shells. Our
machinery of production hums day and night.
Implements of war roll from our plants in steady
streams. They’re made by the railways... hauled by
the railways .. . the railways of Canada.

Only your railways, ready and capable of meeting

the emergeni

before it occurred, can handle this

double “must” ... mass transportation and mass
war production.

Your railways met a mighty challenge in Canada’s
period of construction. They are rendering dual
service in War's period of destruction. They will be

needed more than ever in the reconstruction period
of peace. They will meet shat challenge, too!
