House 1312 FARMERS' HANDY ACCOUNT BOOK In modern farming, one of the more important essentials is the keeping of accounts, and something more than a rough and ready esti- mate is necessary. Farming is now more than ever a business proposi- tion and the farmer who does not know the exact state in which he stands in reference to every item connected with his farm is under a handicap. - In order to assist the farmer in keeping a record of each department of his business, the Dominion Department of Agricul- ture issues a very simple and useful little account book. This acount hook covers every essential detail, and, while no special knowledge of accounting is necessary, a record of transactions can often be made in less than one hour a week. The book may be ob- tained from the Kings Printer, Ot- tawa, at the nominal price of 10 cents, WARTIME PRICES BOARD WATGHING WAGES AND OSTS (Continued from Page 1) used the plywood and veneer in- dustry as an illustration of what | conceivably could happen generally in the present war. Because of improvement the general business situation, more money was in circulation and many persons had sufficient funds to buy new furniture. The manufacturer, knowing this and naturally wishing to take advantage of 'the enlarged market, was prepared to offer high. er wages in order to satisfy the de- mand. But plywood and veneer workers were needed by airplane manufac- turers. Airplane factories, operating on government "cost-plus" contracts under which the manufacturer fig- ures his costs and then adds a fair profit, were prepared to offer wages high enough to lure plywood and veneer workers to new jobs. The labor department admonition against enticing workers from one industry to another does not apply to enticing of workers from the fur. niture industry to the essential war- time industry of making planes, and competition for workers between the airplane and furniture plants might boost wages for such workers to ex- travagant heights. One method of controlling wages was worked out between the board and coal miners in Alberta and British Columbia. These workers agreed to base increases in wages upon the increase in the cost of liv- ing. Until the cost of living rose five per cent, they agreed not to ask increased wages, the agreement to continue for the duration of the war and for a year afterward. Bureau of statistics figures show that most items in the cost of living index increased during the year ending last October. However, food cost decreased, the October, 1940, in. dex being 106.1, compared with 1063 in October, 1930. Fuel cost rose from 104.4 to 108 in the index; rent from 1044 to 107.7 and clothing from 99.6 to 113.5. A rentals administrator now is functioning under, the wartime prices and trade board, with a view to preventing any urfiue rentals in- crease in cenires where there has been a large wartime influx of pop- ulation. CHICAGO SUBWAY NEARING FINISH - Eighty Per Cent of Big Project Now Completed Chicago, Dec, 17 (AP) --Engin- cers and sandhogs who two years ago today began digging in a mighty match of men against mud have completed more than 80 per cent. of Chicago's $57,000,000 sub- Way, An underground army which now has a daily roster of 3,800 men has moved 2,000,000 cubic yards of ex- cavated material, installed 500,000 cubic yards of concrete and handl- ed eight tons of dynamite without a major accident. Subway Commissioner Philip Harrington said that although there have been eight fatalities on the entire subway job it is an un- dertaking with "an exceptional safety record." Two men were elec- trocuted in one accident, the other deaths coming singly. There have been no serious cave-ins or other mass disaster type of accident. Since Secretary of the Interio Harold L. Ickes dug the first dirt with a silver spade two years ago, the project has been increased in overall cost from the original rough figure of $40,000,000 to $57,400,000 and its total mileage of double tube increased from 17.7 to 7.75 miles. BRITISH BOMBERS NAMED FOR BIRD Skua, Fierce Fighter in Far South, is New Specimen in Collection in Washington, Dec. 16 -- The Skua, a fierce, brutal killer bird that rec- ognizes no law except self-preser- vation, has been added to the speci- mens at the Smithsonian Institu- tion. Southérnmost bird on earth, it was shot by members of Byrd expedition. The Skua, for whom one of Brit- ain's dive-bombers is named, ven- tures ag far as 300 miles inland and sometimes way cross the Pole itself. All other Antarctic birds stay close to the shores of the desolate conti- nent, 'ir Its chief food consists of penguin eggs and chicks, which it devours by the hundreds. Scores. of half- eaten bodies of young penguins al- ways can pe found during the hatching: seagon near the sites of penguin colonies, The Skua is adept at separating the young from the THE OLD HOME TOWN SEE LADY, - HES NOT GOING TO BOMB THE BANK--- WHEN You GET "THE LIGAT ON EM THEY RE JUST PLAIN GRAPE FRUIT ON THE AIR TORONTO STATIONS CFRB, 690k.

Thoughts of arranging mass parties for the visitors throughout the country have been dropped, and the officials are content to al- low the children to be looked after in the homes into which they were "adopted" for the duration, As Keith Jepson, representative of the Children's. Overseas Recep- tion Board, put it, there's "no fear they'll be under-entertained -- .the great danger is that they will be surfeited." From Dr. R. C. Wallace of King- | stn, chairman of the National Advisory Committee for British Guest Children, has come a Chrise- mas message for the children, wishing them "a very Joyous | Christmas and a New Year of | great happiness." "They are far from home at al time when home seems very dear," Dr. Wallace said. "But they have found a second home in Canada, and they will find that Christmas is just as joyous in this 'mew land' as it is in England, in Scoltand, or in Wales. Their thoughts will go out, with great longing, to their parents at ohme; but their hearts will fill with gratefulness to their new parents in: Canada who will make Christmas so real to them." Arrangements are being made by the reception board for two-way Christmas conversations between the children and their parents through the facilities of the British Broadcasting Corporation and the Canadian Broadcasting Corpora- tion.

Jepson said today the chillren can hardly wait to talk to their parents, There are some local parties planned, In Regina, the Elks and Ladies Royal Purple organizations are planning a Christmas tree for the British children. The Mon= treal branch of the Canadian Nae ' tional. Committee of Refugees had the same idea but dropped it, be- lieving that the children are in such good homes the community free wouldn't be necessary. NOT MUCH TO REPORT In response to an inquiry as te what opportunities for service they were finding, the young Patrol Leader of an English Boy Scout Troop replied: "As to our own Troop, there is not much to report. Several more of our chaps have gone, either evacuated or in the Forces. We have one in the Fleet Air Arm now. Even though only five of us are left we are carry. ing on with wastepaper collection, ete. "The main piece of news is that ten of us from the Division got to gether five months ago and volune teered to act as messengers at our general hospital. From messengers we have risen to telephone opera- tors, and five of us help with the air raid casualties, relieving the nurses for other work. "A few weeks ago, while we were dealing with a few of these casual- ties, about 30 incendiary bombs landed on the hospital .at 1:30 in the morning. We put out all the fires. "The authorities seemed to think we were some use and we have been sent out: to bring in street accidents, treating them on the way."
