CANTEEN WORKERS
ARE EMBARRASSED

G. A. Bell, Mrs. Edgar Franz, Miss
Haze HoiIenbeck and Miss Florence
Carson, canteen workers, were the
victims Of an embarrassing situation
Thanksgiving day when they arrived
at Vancouver Barracks to distribute to
soldiers of the spruce production divi-
sion a shipment Of apples and jellies
contributed by local growers and
housewives The apples and delicacies
had not arrived Military authorities
had had no trace Of them. Mr. Bell
and corps Of workers, however were
asked to distribute Salem fruit. The
soldiers were informed of the generos-
ity of the Hood River folk and told by
Y NJ, {. A. workers that they might
have the pleasure of the Hood River
fruit in anticipation.
The trip to Vancouver was certain
Iy worth while. Those boys greetings

probation Of the fruit sent them is
certainly more than enough pay for
amy sacrifice or trouble we may have
been put to, says Mr. Bell

JUDGE BLOWERS
SUGGESTS CONCRETE

The condition of several hundred
feet of the Highway on Ruthton hill
and near Viento has become so serious
that Judge Blowers has written to
State Highway Engineer Mum sug,
gestng that the short stretches be sur.
faced with concrete. Because of poor
drainage the stretches Of road have
reached the quagmire state and are al
most impossible for automobiles.
Judge Blowers expresses the opinion
that the cost Of permanently improv-
ing the road with concrete surface
will be no greater than for temporary
treatment with gravel. In his letter
to Engineer Num- be expresses the
hope that the State Highway Commits
sion will complete the Hood River.

year.

No one thing is so generally
overlooked as the proper care of

housekeepers do not take the

do they clean their carpet-sweepers

This will make the pot perfectly
watertight, and is especially useful
on dishpans, coffee pots and boil
ers which have become leaky, as
well as for replacing knobs which
have become loose.
One chief contributing cause for
.enamelware failing to wear well is
that some women persist in the
wrong practice of using washing
soda to clean It. Washing soda is
a strong alkan and eats literally
into the porcelain surface with
which the enamelware is coated,
and thus unnecessarily wears out
the pot or pan. It's use should be
entirely avoided for this purpose.
A good securing at frequent inter
walls with a metal paste, such as
rotten stone mixed with oil, will
clean steel, iron, brass, copper and
aluminium. All copper or brass
articles should be polished with oil
after they are cleaned to prevent
their furnishing quickly again.
A place where washing-soda does
come in handy is In the cleaning
of the metal parts of a lamp bur
ner. The burner may be boiled in
a strong soda solution, then rinsed
and dried on top of q hot stove.
Clean burners will give much bet

Even real wood furniture may be
repaired and renovated at home

with boiled linseed oil mixed with

the rubbings frequently, using a

Far too frequently we do not save
clothing and furnishings, because,
to tell the truth, we have cared for

learn to be careful. And this

popular watchword Of
the day. But that does
not mean conservation only Of
food, especially in the home, but
also the saving of metals, wood
work, fabrics and other articles
which represent considerable in
vestment to the homemaker. Not
only is it necessary to save food
supplies, but also to care for what
we wear, and particularly those
furnishings and equipment which
make for our comfort and of which
there is a present shortage due to
war needs.
There is one kind of thrift which
many more families should strive
for, namely, care and proper up
keep of home furnishings. In far
too many homes the moment a pot
or a pan develops hole or as soon
as furniture needs repair or a fab
rio mending that is the signal to
at once throw it away rather than
take the pains to mend and re-
store It.
How many articles, all or part
metal. are in all our homes. and
yet how poorly do we sometimes
treat them? Now, all metals are
subject to attacks of rust which is
really tarnish caused by moisture.
This rust scales of constantly and
a new surface of the metal is ex-
posed, which finally eats away the
metal itself. Any oil or prepare
ton containing oil, such as paint,
paraffin, kerosene, etc, should be
used to coat and wipe metal ar
ticles and thus prevent rust.
In the Fall is just the time for
the thrifty housekeeper to start on
a repair campaign" The radi-
ators should have a coating of
metallic paint. The oil stove or
heater may have a coat Of black
so-called stove-pipe paint, as may
also CRATES, fire andirons, stove
pipes and other similar metal
parts. Too often such parts are
allowed to rust and quickly disin-
tegrate when a coat of paint would
have increased their use by several
years. The gratings Of the hot-air
furnace and any metal grillwork
such as is sometimes found on a
sewing machine need similar treat.

The moment your back hurts or kid

FRENCH ARE EAGER
TO LEARN ENGLISH
Newspapers and Movies Throughout the
Country are Conducting
Language Glasses.

PARIS, Sept. ll.-English is threaten
ing to outstrip French as the universal
language is threatening to do it
on French territory. To learn English
has become the national vogue today in
France. The presence on French soil of
so many millions of Anglo-Saxon sol
diers has given rise to a sudden desire
among all classes to speak English.
When one remembers the traditional an
tagonism and hostility of the French
toward speaking any other language but
the French the change is hardly less
than phenomenon.
The air is full of schemes and devices
for teaching our tongue to the masses.
Every teacher of English has more than
ne can do to fill the wants of all his
pupils. An ingenious plan of imparting
the elements of English grammar to its
readers has been devised by the Matin.
which publishes at the very top of its
page in both corners a boxful of nouns.
Ipronouns, verbs, adiectives and partici-
piles every morning. Another popular
course is that which is conducted by the
Aubert Weekly, news film. which pro-
iects lesson every week on the screens
Of hundreds of picture theatres through
out france.
Other newspapers are also following
the plan of the Matin in devoting the
ear spaces at the sides of their titles To
a little daily lesson of not more than six
words, in which the English pronuncia-
ton is conveyed in a weird and really
wonderful manner. The wittiest OF
French dailies, LOeuvre, is going its
contemporaries one better by organizing
classes for its readers several times a
week in different parts of Paris.
| The French ministry of war has also
decided to give every soldier in the in.
terror an opportunity TO learn English
and special classes are being formed fol
officers. There is movement for ex
tending the system as far as possible tx

Rowe G. Wales is at his home in
