It shows exactlily what happens when secondary materials like bones, :ags, metals, paper, lead foil, are reclaimed and turned back into industry. It shows the way in which many Canaâ€" dian organizationsâ€"such as the Red Cross, the 1.0.D.E., the Local Councils of Women, the Boy Scouts ani Girl Guides, the numerous Service Cluus (and the Boys "K" Club in Timmins) â€"â€"are coâ€"operating and just what they do. It shows how important the salvâ€" age contribution of the ordinary homeâ€" front Canadian is in the general war picture. Ottawa (Special): During the next few months something like two milâ€" lion Canadian movie goers will be surâ€" prised over the dramatic sweep of Canada‘s National Salvage Campaign. ‘"‘Cheating the Garbage Can," a short trailer film describing the way salvage helps Canada‘s war effort, has just been â€"released to about 900 Canadian theatres. It is distinctly an eyceâ€"openâ€" er. With deft pictorial effect, "Cheating the Garbage Can" traces the journey of a household bone until it becomes part of a bombing plane in the form of glue. It traces the journey of lead foil becoming the base of airplane paint, and so on with paper and metals The film shows the way in which the various salvaging organizations actuâ€" ally collect an dispose of salvage. The part the average householder plays in the general work of salvage is clearl; set forth. There is no denying, from the flashing action of "Cheating the Garbage Can,"" the value of Canada‘s great drive on waste. The movie is done with extraordinâ€" ary artistic skill. _ Commenting on i at its preview, William Knightley, Salâ€" vage Campaign supervisor, said: *The National Film Board, responsible fo the script, is to be heartily congratuâ€" lated. I am pleased with the result. and the Canadian public is going to be surprised at what it sees." New "Trailer" Film Shows Value of Salvage Work Mr. Knightley added that the film is an excellent mixture of humor an« d ignity.

To conserve these beauâ€" ties would cost nothing, while their destruction would be a sad and unâ€" necessary loss. Quotation has been made in these columns of comment along the same line by The Simcoe Reformer. Last week The Collingwood Enterpriseâ€"Bulletin says:â€" "Oh yes! save the wild flowefs. When motoring do nat stop and rob the countryside of the beauty provided by nature. Already some of the very beautiful wild flowers are already extinct or nearly so . . . Now, stop, look and enjoy the beauty of the moors and fen, but do not deâ€" stroy." The Enterpriseâ€"Bulletin quotes from both The Advance and The Simâ€" coe Reformer to emphasize the need and the desirability for conserving the wild flowers of Canada. In The Quinte Sun last week there is an editorial on the same subject. The @uinte Sun, published at Trenton, Ont., says:â€" Our love of them and the very joy we experience coming ?Jpon them in our Save the Wild Flowers There‘s not a living soul but finds joy and perhaps great solace in the plenteous presence of the wild flowers of the woods and fields. How barren would be a world without their tinted, cheerful faces? Who would want to pass through the childhood of life bereft of the joys of beholding them peeking out through the early green eaves of springtime, or of seeing the woodland knolls besprinkled with their nchanting company.

Children in their innocence, and adults in their ignorance, alike endanger the passing on of these little beauties and blessings to future generations. Children, we might correctly say, love them to death. Adults thoughtlessly permit the pulling of them year after year without understanding and without a care of future years and gentcrations Too fow think of flowers as organisms like themselves,, which require cerâ€" tain â€"physical conditions within tc make it possible to continue life anc produce a new generation. If we unâ€" derstand this and remeomber it, we wil) pick, for instance no trilliums or ver; few at any rate. The triilium grows from a small bulb. Well up its stalk it puts out three leaves and above that comes it: lovely liittle triâ€"petalled flower which so attracts us. We pluck stalk and leaves to be able to carry home thi: little prize to be a momentary deâ€" coration. The plant‘s leaves are its lungs, and upon those leaves the plant depends for its health and for the storâ€" ing away in its bulb below the soil‘s surface the energy wherewith to carry it through the winter and to force a new stalk, leaves and flower next year Pluck it, and we stop all this. Wooded â€" areas essential for the growth of trilliums and many ther flowers have grown less and less with the passing years. In some parts they are far apart. The growth of civilizaâ€" tion and its accompanying industria) processes have made it more and morr difficult for them to live and to reproâ€" Auce their kind. Some Canadian wild flowers have already passed out of existence, and some so nearly as to make it questionable if they can ever stage a comeback. It therefore becomes more and more necessary that the matter receive the attention and understanding of us human beings for we constitute the only agency that can afford them a chance to continue existence. Let us learn more about our wild flowers. Let us express our love of them in that way instead of in plucking them by the armful. Let us learn, too, of the other enemies of our wild flowers and protect them from those enemies for the sake of little children and adults, too, in all succeeding generations.

Mrs. Skakoon, wife of the wounded man, and Nick Skakoon, broâ€" ther of the injured man, are held here as material witnesses. An inquest into the death of the woman is being arâ€" ranged. The man, Mike Skakoon, is not seriously injured despite the three stab wounds which he admitted to be selfâ€"administered. Both Mike Skakoon and his wife are Ukrainians who have lived the greater part of their lives in Canada. ([Their former home was at Blizzard Valley, near Sudbury, and on account of the number of Frenchâ€" speaking people in that district, the Skakoons speak as good French as they do English. The dead woman is a Frenchâ€"speaking woman, her home beâ€" ing also in the Blizzard Valley area. The story of the tragedy is a compliâ€" cated one, but it appears to be another case of the "triangle" with a couple of angles very peculiar ones. The dead woman lived for some three years as the common law wife of Mike Skaâ€" koon, but around last Christmas time they quarrelled and the woman laid a charge of assault against Mike. Beâ€" fore the case came to trial word was received from Rouyn that Mike Skaâ€" koon was wanted there on a charge of deserting his wife and family. The woman here withdrew her charge so that Skakoon could be taken to Rouyn to face the charges there. In the ‘Ten years ago an inquest was held into the death of little Billie Kucheâ€" ran, the sixâ€"yearâ€"old youngster who died as the result of injuries received when hit by an automobile. The eviâ€" dence made it clear that the car was very carefully driven at the time and every effort made to avoid an accident. The youngster, however, with another child about the same age, had darted out in the path of the car and though the driver, who was going slowly on account of a funeral being held on, the street, swerved and stopped almost at once, it was impossible to avoid the youngster who died later from the inâ€" juries received and shock sustained. The evidence exonerated the driver from any blame in the matter and the jury brought in a verdict of accidental death. â€"â€"The fourth annual banquet of the ;Ladies’ Auxiliary of the Canadian Legion was held ten years ago in the Oddfellows‘ hallh There were fifty members present and all enjoyed the beautiful repast provided.

There was so friendly a feeling between these two that Nick Skakoon said last might that the woman had given him her car, but he had no papers to this effect, and so supposed the transfer would not hold now. The police were called by Nick Skakoon shortly after midnight to go to 114 Maple street north, where he said he feared there was serious trouble. He said he had left the house because his brother and the woman were in a bad fight and he was afraid. He said the brother had struck the woman with a fiatiron, he thought, and that when he left the brother had a knife in his hand. Sergt.
