CARE OF RAYON GARMENTS The Standards Section of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board issues a warning to the effect that great care should be taken in the laundering and ironing of rayon garments. There is now acetate yarn as well os viscose yarn in the fabrics used to manufacture women's blouses, underwear and dresses, and there is a danger of them disintegrating through melting of the fabric if proper care is not taken. Acetate rayon melts at a comparatively low temperature, not much .->.bove the boiling point of water. It is suggested that garmens of this lype be ironed damp on the wrong side, and with an iron that is only warm. If the iron sizzles when touched with a wet finger it is too hot. Apart from this weakness, acetate rayon is as good as viscose, and in many ways is superior in appearance and durability.

E. Goodin., Field-man, Crops, Seeds and Weeds Branch of the Ontario Department, of Agriculture. Bacterial Ring Rot disease is one of the most infectious and destructive seed borne potato diseases on the continent of America. It is a comparatively new disease. The first cases reported in Ontario were during the 1938 season. The disease has been gradually on the increase and has caused losses amounting to many thousands of dollars since that time. Many outbreaks have been traced to infection from the use of second-hand potato bags which carry the organism. Potato growers are therefore advised to carefully disinfect all used potato bags which are on their premises. The treatment does not involve much time but is cheap insurance against heavy losses from this dis- Bags should be soaked for two hours in a solution containing one pint formalin in forty gallons of water. These may afterwards be quickly dried at this time of year by spreading out over the grass or hanging over a fence. Another method used by some potato growers is by using a hand sprayer and a solution containing one pint formalin with one pint water. This solution is sprayed on about every fourth or fifth bag in the pile, after which the entire pile of bags is left covered overnight with a heavy blanket or tarpaulin. Potato growers may avoid heavy losses by using every precaution to keep Bacterial Rot disease away from their premises. MANY WILL SPEND HOLIDAYS AT HOME There's a growing feeling among Canadians that this summer is going to be a mighty good time to stay off war-crowded trains and conserve their limited gas allowance by spending the summer holidays at home. Maybe you are one of those who feel that way. If you are, maybe you're alread; jump ahead of .us and have decided before we could mention it, that you could have a lot of fun at home during vacation if you spent the time fixing up the place with a bucket of paint and a brush. Be it a week-end or a fortnight longer, you can spend a holiday profitably that way, and you'll have sc thing mighty nice to show for it when it's over. Incidentally, you'll probably show a bigger bank balance too. The folk who take a "stay-at-home-and-paint" holiday this year will finish 1heir fun with cash left in their pockets such as vacations seldom leave them. Paint, you know, is the 'badge of solvency' for a building. There are thousands of "insolvent" buildings all over the country right now, and if your's is one of them, you'll save yourself a big repair bill later by doing something about it. And look at the fun you'll have ! CAMPERS BEWARE OF POISON IVY In the comprehensive arrangements of the Canadian authorities for the training and welfare of the fighting forces, the evil effect of poison ivy was not overlooked. Of all skin-h tant plants in North America, poison ivy is one of the worst. It grows under a variety of conditions, wet or dry, shaded or exposed ,and in soil from pure sand or rocky ground to rich woods or fields. It is often plentiful in stretches of unoccupied land. But because poison ivy is prevalent on shores and rocky situations especially by wooded lakes and highland legions so attractive to campers and summer cottagers, the danger of poisoning should always be borne in mind, for the simple reason that in these out-of-the-way places it difficult to get rid of the plant. Full description of the plant and its several different habits of growth, together with information on treatment after contact are given in Circular 574 "Poison Ivy," which may be obtained by writing to Dominion Department of Agriculture, Ottawa. The United States Chamber of Commerce has found through a survey that only one out of every thirty families in the Satates plans to buy build a new home after the war. But three out of every ten families already have their plans made for painting of homes, re-modelling of interiors, modernizing of various rooms or addition of rooms by utilization of basement or attic space. An estimated total of 500,000 yards of cloth have been saved during the past year as a result of the clothing conservation program of the Wartime JUNE, 1944, PROMOTIONS CASTLETON SCHOOL SENIOR ROOM Successful Entrance Pupils engaged Bertrand Bowen Mildred Welton Junior Kemp * Donald Carter Departmental Tests-r- Ross Sommerville (hon.)

During the past year over three score of them donated 40,000 hours of work to the task of giving sick and injured children the very best chance for the recovery of health and happiness. Crippled? Deformed? Hurt in an accident? Suffering from Disease? Just "yes" to any of these questions has always opened the doors of this institution to children in need of hospital care. No distinction has ever been made in respect to race, creed or circumstances. The Provincial and Municipal Governments each contribute a fixed amount per day for those who cannot pay. But these grants do not contemplate the cost of medicines, operating rooms, oxygen, X-rays, plaster casts, anaesthetics, special diets and extra nursing--and they do not provide for the cost of many, many other necessary items. Each year we depend on public subscriptions to •over these extra costs. Won't you help this very Worthy cause? Please send your gift direct to 67 College Street, Toronto. We employ no canvassers.
