One can well understand how Nice can be expected to provide someâ€" thing novel at its internationally famâ€" ed carnivals. We have all seen, either in theâ€"real or in the motion pictures reel>@he marvellous floats exhibited in the Southern States flower Carniâ€" vals. But, who can imagine a town as far removed from the Equator as Iroâ€" quois Falls, as far distant from the scenes of mirth and enjoyment, atâ€" tempting to carry out a parade, in which one sees_ numerous elegantly elad floats, descriptive of the different departments of the Mills and of paâ€" triotie and other subjects, passing beâ€" neath daring yet conservative arches, in which one views apon crowds of elowns and merry makefs, and also a fine representation of the different brotherhoods,â€"â€"â€"all these things comâ€" bining to make a notable procession. There were many floats. Some were beiter than others as is wont to be the case, but all were worthy of mention. â€" The Abitibi Lands and Forâ€" est Limited presented a most approâ€" priate float, a real good advertisement for Iroquois Fallsâ€"a miniature lroâ€" iquois Falls House, all fitted out, inâ€" side and out.

Statistics show that, everyday, in Canada, sufficient food is thrown into garbage cans to feed the entire Canadian Overseas Travellers have often remarked that many a European family would live well upon the quantity and quality of food wasted in some Canadian homes.

They Must Be Fed The parade started at the Mill. From thence it wound its way through the town by the way of Buckingham street to ith street, along 7th to Deâ€" vonshire Avenue, along Devonshire avenue to 9th street and from there directly to the Ball Park. The big events of the afternoon were the ball game and the field they could to make the parade a sucâ€" cess, and the progress of the parade was never obstructed by people tryâ€" ing to encroach too far into the street. There also seemed to be a â€" spirit of a â€" genuine â€" Inlarity prevalent everywhere and the crowd took up the spirit of the occasion and transplanted Iroquois Falls into a Northern ‘*New Orleans."‘ Canada can do this without deprivâ€" ing her own population of a fair share of any of these foods if You Women will but help. All we ask of you is, that instead of buying so much white flour (if you do your own baking) you vary your baking by using oneâ€"third oatmeal, corn, barâ€" ley or rye flour. Or, if you buy your bread, that you order a certaimn proâ€" portion of brown bread each day. Our only hope is that with these truths before you, and in view of the vital issues at stake, we may count upon your earnest coâ€"operation in stopping this appalling waste; and in substituting other foods for the wheat, beef and bacon that must be sent overseas. Next week a Food Service Pledge and Window Card will be delivered to you. It is your Dedication to War Service. The Window Card is your Emblem of Honour.
