What will help is planning meals and cooking so as to create a minimum or kitchen heat. The coolest hours of the day be set aside for most of the baking and as much advance preparation of meals as possible. One-dish casserole meals can often be prepared ahead of time and can be re-heated over hot water to save a special heating of the oven. The tea kettle is often a source of unnecessary kitchen heat. Left boiling on the back of the stove it radiates heat and its steam doesn't help to keep the kitchen cool. With stoves other than coal or wood, making fullest use of one burner, good housekeeping practice at any time, will help keep the kitchen cool. Upper and lower parts of the double boiler may be used for simultaneous cooking and two or e vegetables can often be cooked together in one pot just as satisfactorily as they can be cooked separately. THERE POUNDS A WEEK ALLOWED UNDER NEW MEAT RATIONING Zmm vmmaw camp™ A Your bank is a link between the man in Canada who has goods and services to buy or sell, and his customers abroad.

It has, through many years, developed the sale of Canadian goods abroad, resulting in more jobs for Canadian men and women.

The board did not give a specific date for restoration of rationing made necessary by the demand for food in Europe, but noted that it had been estimated it would take two months from July 6 to have the system operation. Prime Minister Mackenzie King announced on July 6 that rationing would be reimposed. Meat rationing was dropped on Feb. 19, 1944, after being operative from May 27, 1943. The new meat ration" plan will be "basically the same" as during the previous rationing period, with these changes: 1. Meat tokens are being introduced on the basis of eight tokens for one coupon. This permits the purchase) to split the coupon and buy less meat at one time that the entire coupon 2. Fancy and canned meats an eluded in the new ration. 3. Changes have been made in coupon values of different cuts. Meats and cuts have been divided into groups for rationing purposes with values as follows : Group A (one pound a coupon)-- Includes cured back pork, sliced; back or side bacon, sliced; and cooked pork and ham. Broup B (one and one-half pounds a coupon)--Includes round beef steak; sirloin tip; veal cutlets; mutton front-quarter; whole fresh ham; smoked pork centre slices. Group C (two pounds a coupon)-- Includes beef hindquarter shank; sirloin steak; neck; veal loin; side pork, fresh; dry salt lean backs, cured; jellied meats; liver; kidney; sweet-Group D (two and one-half pounds ;r coupon) -- Includes beef short ribs; fresh veal flank; pork sausage; mutton leg cut; fresh loin pork; smoked pork jowl. Group E (three pounds a coupon)-- Includes fresh pork jowl; cured pork hock; heart. When consumer rationing is introduced the ration will be roughly two pounds a person, carcass weight," the Board said. "This is the same ration as during the previous meat rationing period, hut rationing will be more severe than before because all processed and 'fancy' meats will be included in the "Two pounds carcass weight approximates lVa pounds clear meat." Under the previous ration plan each consumer could use two coupons a week, these havirfg various values depending on the type of meat purchased. The values ranged from one-half pound a coupon for smoked and cooked meats to 1V4 pounds for such cuts as blade roasts of beef and a number of lamb and veal cuts with the bone left in. The meats remaining unrationed are beef, calf, pork and lamb brains and heads, and beef, pork and lamb tails. Poultry, game and fish, canned or fresh, will not be rationed. Meat coupons will be valid until declared invalid and will not expire as under previous rationing. GRAIN WEEVILS Insects in the granary have given considerable trouble to some North- j umberland County farmers. Agricul-1 tural Representative Ralph. Banbury has had some enquiry and points out that the best time to fight them is when the granary is empty. If any: trouble has been experienced, it is a good idea to take all grain now left in the granary out to be chopped j for feed and to thoroughly clean i every bin. In most cases, a complete spraying with coal oil in all cracks will kill J the insects. A hand sprayer such as j used for flies on cattle, and often: has a quart sealer as the container, is quite satisfactory. If this can be j done several weeks before the wheat or other new grain comes to the granary, it is all the better, as the j condition can be checked and a second spraying given if necessary. A somewhat better spray is composed of one pound of pyrethrufn insect powder added to each gallon of coal oil. It take sthis material a couple of hours to dissolve thoroughly and after being stirred up a few times the residue on the bottom may be poured on the floor as it might clog the sprayer. WHY IT CAN'T BE DONE Children's shoes cannot be made in a plant producing women's shoes because the p-ocesses, machines and ?a*ts are so different. A plant geared to makr? one type of footwear cannot conveniently be turned over to make another type.
