Following the Quebec Conference, President Roosevelt was the Guest of Canada at a Banquet in Ottawa at which Prime Minister MacKenzie King was host and Their Excellencies the Governor-General and _ his wife, Princess Alice were prominent guests. A large number of the Members had gathered at the Capital in honor of the President’s visit, and the crowd of Ot- awa citizens which gathered on Parlia- ment Hill equalled the thousands gath- ered on the visit of King George and Queen Elizabeth.
President Roosevelt’s address rang with the note of confidence, and the determinations of the Allies to hasten a successful conclusion to the war and restore the world to a just Peace and the Four Freedoms. He received a tremendous ovation.
President Roosevelt paid a high tri- bute to Premier King in the large and important part he had played in pav- ing the path for the momentous delib- erations between the United States and Britian.
Holding the Conference in Quebec was an important diplomatic move, as well as adding prestige and lustre to the position of Canada in World Af- fairs.
Berta Vale — Serviceberry Women’s Institute
— -oO—— The regular meeting of the W. I.
was held at the home of Miss Elaine Sarsons on Aug. 19th. In the absence of Mrs. Morton, the meeting was called to order by Mrs. Brook.
Roll call was current events and was well responded to.
Mrs. Patrick of Strathmore read a paradox on the last war ,entitled “Lift up your hearts” which was \very much enjoyed.
Mrs. Ellen Way answered roll call by reading an article on compressed food, also on canning fruit without sugar. With sugar rationing this prov ed quite helpful and interesting. We were pleased to welcome Mrs. Way as a member again at this meeting.
We wish to thank Mrs. George Daw- son of Strathmore, for money dona- tion. Mrs. Dawson has proved quite a friend of our Institute, as she has given donations several times since we organized, which were very much ap- preciated.
A handkerchief sale was held at this meeting. Mrs. Leonard Hilton made quite a capable auctioneer.The Hand- kerchiefs sold like hot cakes and net- ted the treasury the sum of $5.43.
Members were asked to bring sug- gestions for the bazaar to the next meeting. At the close of the meeting a dainty lunch was served by the host- ess, assisted by Mrs. Barney Hughes.
The next meeting will be at the home of Mrs. Shkuratoff on Sept 2nd.
Roll call will be “Truth or Conse- quences” and current events.
ing livestock and crops.
Some hunters, with small stocks of ammunition held over from past years, will be able to spend a day or two at their favorite sport. The migatory bird regulations show little change from last year.
There is no open season in Alberta for Ross’ goose, a species which mi- grates through this province and is seriously depleted in numbers.
OCCUPATION OF KISKA ISLAND
From radio and newspaper articles we learn that the 24th. Field Regt, which includes a number of our local boys, formed a_ part of the invasion army that occupied Kiska, August 15. That it was a bloodless occupation is all the more gratlfying. We would be glad had this same been true in Sicily.
It is evident that the Japs had made a hasty get-a-way.
The heavy bombardments carried on by our ships and planes, these bom- bardments unreported in the last three weeks and among the heaviest ever made on enemy positions in the Pac- ific, made the enemy position unten- able by them.
The report states Kiska’s fall could rate as one of Japan’s more expensive defeats both in supplies and in loss of 29 Japanese Warships and 30 non-com- battent vessels. In the Attu attack they had fought almost to the last man.
Fleeing as they did from Kiska, it would seem proof of the growing lack of confidence of the Japanese.
Four of Strathmore’s local boys formed a part of the 24th. Field Regt.
Vice-Admiral Thomas C. Kinkaid Commander of the U. S. North Pacific Fleet was in command, while the 24th. Field Regt. was commanded by Gener- al Drummond.

Post-War Reconstruction
Committee — ALBERTA PREPARES FOR PFACE
AND PLENTY
——O—e Today, as men and wornen give
thought to the victorious peace im- pending, the problems of the post-war world loom closer. Problems of re-es- tablishment, of re-adjustment, of re- habilitation and reconstruction must be attacked now—and solutions must be found hefore one million Canadians are thrown on the labor marke:
In Alberta, a start has been made on this great work of preparing for peace. Through legislative enactment $1,000,000 has been set aside as the nucleus of a post-war reconstruction fund. A committee has been estabish- ed and sub-committees appointed. The technical aid of all departments of government and the university has been enlisted. There remains but one requirement to make this a unified effort — that is the co-opeiation of every Alberta citizen.

Popular Booklet Shows Interpendence of Farmers and Labour

Interesting booklet published by the Farm and Ranch Review well worth reading. The price only 10c.
“Real prosperity for Canada lies in a higher national income more evenly distributed between farm and factory workers rather than in higher wage rates in a few industrfes, according to a booklet just published by the Farm and Ranch Review of Calgary, Alta.
As the title “Maggie Abandons big Dough’ ‘implies, there is nothing aca- demic about this little treatise by Ed- ward Highe. It is brightly written and cleverly illurtrated. The charac- ters are human and alive and the dia logue is homely and to the point. It deals with some of the most important economic problems of the day - the relation between farm and _ factory workers, wages and prices - in terms that anyone can understand.
Canadian labour can solve one of the Canadian farmer’s chief problems and increase the purchasing power ol the farmer’s dollar, it is contented. As long as the farmers’ share in the na- tional income low and the cost of manufactured goods is high Canada will not have real prosperity. How Maggie, the principal character in this story, thinks things through is ot direct interest to all classes of Cana- dians.”

Quotas for the manufacture of barb- ed wire have been increased to the ex- tent that some 86,000 more reels of the wire fill be available this year, mostly for farm purposes. This has been made possible the fact that more material is now available to manufac: turers. Demand for barbed wire has increased considerably due to increase in livestock production.

How The Cost of Living Index Works
By Jim Greenblat = Qa
In the House of Commons, July 7th,
the Honorable J. L. Ilsley, Minister of Finance, gave some
index, particularly light prices. Jim Greenblat gives the of Mr. Ilsley’s remarks, cal language, as follows—
of gist
“The cost of living index as related to the cost directly worry the farmer, small pro-} prietor and such like, but indirectly everyone should have the low down in their minds about this important part of our national economy if they don’t wish to get too provincial in their thinking.
Let’s review go you'll remember it without any ef fort. The cost of living index measur es the month-to-month change in the cost of living of the average typical wage-earner’s family, by the Bureau of Statistics. It is based on a full year record, made in 1937-38 on 1,500 Canadian families, averaging 4.6 per- sons with an average income of $1,458 The index was in six main groups, showing food to take 31% of the in- come, fuel and light 6%, housing 19%, clothing 12%, services 9% and miscétfaneous Keeping Pace—

True! The Bureau knows that, and it
makes the necessary changes. | ample, after sugar rationing came in, the amount of sugar in the index was reduced. Then, when cheap lines are off the market making you fork over more for more expensive articles, the price of these is considered in the in- dex.
The index records variations in the cost of a fixed standard of living in ur- | ban areas.
increased costs of people who improve
| their standard of living.
Not without logic, some people ask | why does the index only show a rise of 17% during the war, when such items as stewing beef rocketed up 78%, lard 73% for example. The fact of the matter is, of course, that all foods comprise less than a third of the whole cost of living index and we have to look at it in that perpective. Many foods, too, and important ones, have risen much less. For instance, bread sugar and such foods have remained fairly steady and milk is reduced in price.
Food Prices Up—
It is interesting to note in passing that cost of food rose 31.8 since the war started, most of it since the ceil- ing was slapped on. Mrs. Housewife obviously is more aware of this, be- cause its’ a kitchen and personal prob- lem. But on items hubby pays for mainly, the rise shows in the lower bracket, i.e. fuel and light, 14.1, hous-

The total cost of living index rose 17.6 since August, 1939, but only 2.3 of it since applica- tion of the price ceiling.

ing 7.4, clothing20.3.
It does not measure the| Questions of Quality—
Mom complains about changes in quality, deterioration of clothing and home furnishings, noticeable in our wartime economy. Well, the Bureau thinks of that too and treats the re- duction in quality as if it was a price increase of the same amouat.
You can see for yourself that they can’t get direct price quotations on every item in the family budget, but what they do is get typical, and weight those prices sufficiently to cover all items in any group.
To get a slant on the problems, let’s look at foods. Many foods have a wide seasonal price fluctuation as you know. Then again, all vegetables aren’t sold on a weight basis. Some are sold in bunches, and so the price may vary according to the quantity. If some ‘average’ system wasn't adopted the index would certainly be “less” than ‘more’ accurate. What they do is pick representative prices month- to-month, which includes some 44 food items amounting to just about 75% of the total cost of food.
How Much for a Hat?— Well, now we come to such items as
clothing. This brings up another difficult problem and no fooling, it’s an erratic thing. You know what it’s like yourself. You've gone in and bought a ladies’ hat for say $4.95. Sure enough, a month later (to save carrying it over into the winter) you
see it advertised to clear at $2.98. It does happen with dresses, coats and other items. Therefore, the Bureau, and rightly, has selected a smaller list of some 29 clothing items of fairly standard construction which have no pronounced seasonal movements, The items represent al the more important materials in making clothing, such as cotton, wool, rayon, rubber and leather
Just one more thing. Income taxes are not included in the reckoning of the cost of living index. These taxes do not affect prices, although they do, of course, reduce the amount available for spending. The whole idea of hav: ing an income tax is so that everyone can contribute to the cost of the war If in the raise those

It is a fact, despite modern ways, our yield per acre is less than in many other countries. In the last half cent- ury soil erosion and fertility exhaus- tion have become a_ serious problem. If the farmer works with Nature’s laws instead of against them, he will learn new Ways. of producing more tood for mankind.

Address By Walter P. Zeller
HIS address by Mr. Zeller, promin- T ent Canadian Business man given at the C. W. N. A. Convention in Tor- onto, has been widely quoied. Fol- lowing are the closing parapraphs,
“In conclusion, let me suggest that when the war is won, Government, business and labor alike will be taced
with the joint task of putting the na-|
tional house in order, which will call for all the energy and resource, all the comradeship and loyalty in the nation. The more Government desires the co-operation of the various ele- ments within society to work together with it for the common good, the great er its need to consult with those ele- ments—be they business, labor educa- tional, or any other, on whose know- ledge and experience it may profitably draw in framing our post-war national policies and whose support it will need to implement such policies. Ina democracy, reconstruction will be suc- cessful in proportion to the degree to which it is a truly people’s job.
But let me again observe that free- dom implies responsibility. The greater the freedom afforded private enterprise after the war, the greater the responsibility which devolves upon it to “deliver the goods”. An age of new and rapid expansion is not a time for timid hearts and little minds. Af- ter the war, business will require all the vision and courage that marked the great ages of the world’s progress, if we are to add another epoch to the history of human advancement. This

(CHAPTER No. 2) —_——_Oo-———
There is sure a change in Calgary to what there was a couple of years ago when I came up to see the Stam- pede and I notice it as soon as I’m out of the rattler.
The place is just over-run with soldiers, sailors and airmen. They’re everywhere and seem to be having a mighty fine time.
I see a soldier with three stripes on
his arm and ask him where a _ fellow goes to join up in this man’s army.
“Cowboy,” he says, “You can’t m.ss. Just a block north and you can figure you're as good as in.”
Well, I go down to the building with a big sign “Recruiting Depot” over the door and climb up three flights of stairs to the office.
Right off a fellow says, “What can I do for you?” so I tell him I figure on joining the army.
He smiles and starts asking a lot of questions about me and when he gets done he tells me to sit on a long bench where o lot of othere fellows are park- ed.
I sit down and roll quiet little lad sitting smiles and says, “What are you join-
smoke and a io me
a next
ing, bud?”
“The Army,” I tell him.
“Aren't W all,’ he grins. What I mean is what branch of the service? I want to get in artillery.”
I tell him I hadn't rightly thought about that angle, ask him what branches there are.
It's All Dutch—
He spiels off a long list of initials—— R.C. A, R.C.0O.C.,, R.C, A.M. C,, R.c. A. S.C. C.D. C., and a heap of others I cant’ remember.
“Slow down, chum,” | reply. alright to be coming up with ali those but it’s just like trying to indentify ranches by brands when you never heard the name of the spreads.”
Well, this little guy seems to know quite a bit. He tells me its because he has three brothers serving in the Army, and he explains all about the different places they can put a man.

“T didn’t tell you about the infantry before,” he continues. “Those are the foot-soldiers but they don’t march like they used to in the last war. There are plenty of trucks and they move you right up to where you can mix it with the enemy.”
He goes on to say that the infantry are the boys who can _ get to close

Some of the fellows be wanting to get down to their birth day suits, but I figure if that’s what they I might as well get it over with. Just Like Swimming Hole—

sure looks sad.
He sure is a sad lad but he smiles as he wishes me luck, He’ll Try Again—
“I'll be trying again soon and maybe you,’” he says and
I'll catch to leaves. | Well, I sit around for a few minutes then a corporal comes along and he | takes me into the office of the Recruit- jing Officer, Major Gainor.
He swears me in and I’m telling you I feel pretty solomn when I take the oath to serve my King and Country.
Right after that I’m hustled off to Mewata Barracks where I answer plen- ty more questions,
Fromthere its over to a_ hut they call the Quartermaster Stores where they start handing out equipment.
Brother, I've never had so much clothing in my life, and the pile keeps on growing. Uniforms, shirts, boots, oxfords, underwear, brushes, a set of eating tools, a ground sheet, blankets, respirator (I up and call it a gas mask and promptly get informed that isn’t | the correct term), a gas cape and lots of other articles are piled up.

There are plenty of fellows there just like myself and plenty of them are just getting into their new uni-
forms. After I get my kit all piled up on a bed I figure I might as well get into my duds too.
I’m just getting all set when the fellow in the next bunk looks me over and says, “You got a pretty swell fit there pal.”
I’ve got to admit he’s right, becalfse you'd thing a tailor had just siream- lined the whole outfit and poured me into it.
“you sure make that saying of all Army clothes being too big or too small sound awful wrong,” the strang- er continues,
Then he hoists himself up from his bunk and reaches out with his hand.
“We're probably going to be togeth. er quite a spell,” he says, “so we may as well get acquainted. I’m Tom Gil- bert from Irricana.
I shake hands with him him who I am.
About that time a fellow comes a- | long and tells us its time to eat and to,

We follow the crowd over to the place they call the mess hut and there {'m in for another surprise.
It’s a mighty big place, as clean as a-pin and there are several hundred fellows all sitting down to a meal that would really make our old Chinese cook, Yee Fong, work his darndest. We Can Go Out—
After we've eaten we wander back to our hut and the corporal who is in charge says we can have passes to go out and see the town if we want to.
Tom says it sounds like a good idea and asks me if I want to come along, so I says yes.
After we get out o f the barracks Tom suddenly asks me if I know how to salute and I have the opine that I've got a general idea,
“We better learn right sudden,” he

says. “Let’s duck in this alley and try it out a few times because we might be meeting some officers and to look bad for a start.”
Well, we do just that. Tom tries a few salutes ‘til I figure he’s got it down pretty well then I do a little practicing.
From there we wander off down the drag and sure Gnough we meet plenty of officers.
I’m sure glad we did that little bit of practicing because as Itell Tom after were bac’k in barracks, I'll bet there wasn't an officer who we met who would believe we’d only been in the army a couple of hours.

ACREAGE |
As the war draws to a _ close there | will be more and more discussion about the acreage that Canada should
maintain in wheat, compared with the |
acreage similarly maintained in w heat | by other wheat exporting countries. | It might be wel, therefore, to examine the situation in all these countries,
I find that since the year 1939, the | start of this war, Canada has reduced | Australia |
ly, and that Argentine has actually in-| | creased her wheat acreage by 1%. In)
t | addition to this the United States has | asked her wheat growers to expand |
their acreage this year. |
It seems then that Canada has reduc- ed her wheat acreage by a larger per-| centage than any other wheat export | ing country, and this in spite of the} fact that the farmers of our prairie | depend more upon wheat as a means | of making a living than do the farm- other countries mentioned | above, for the farmers in these other | countries have other important pro- | ducts besides wheat, which they can, readily sell on world markets after the |

Louis, in a vat the size of a small room, molasses, ammonia, water, air and yeast are being mixed. Every 12 hours this mixture produces a ton of good rich meat — nearly as succulent as a sirloin steak which takes two years to raise on the hoof, much chea-| per and much richer in proteins and vitamins. Furthermore, says Time, this new synthetic meat is so easy to make that its inventors are looking forward to modern miracle of the loaves and fishes after the war among the foodless peoples of the world.
The new food is actually a new kind of yeast with added flavors which make it almost indestinguishable from natural foods. Since yeast is the rich- est known source of B vitamins and contains about 50% protein (twice as much as meat) it is said to surpass meat as sheer food. And pound for pound of protein, yeast costs only 1-5 as much as meat.
Anheuser-Busch is now geared to produce millions of pounds of this pro- duct each year. The process— 125 lbs. of yeast is planted in a tvat con- taining 7,000 gallons of water, a ton and a half of molasses on whose sugar the yeast feeds, and ammonia which provides nitrogen which the yeast con- verts into protein. The mixture is} kept warm and stirred by a thousand | cubic feet of air a minute to prevent | the yeast fermenting the sugar.
12 hours the prodigiously producing its original weight 16 times, is a ton of food. In its uncooked form it is a dry, light brownish powder with a meaty, nutty and celery flavor, depending on the variety.
As yet the new food, actually a veg- etable-meat, has not been named. Time magazine says that the Army and Lend-lease are already buying millions of pounds. ‘Post-war possib- ities are obviously enormous,” says Time, “and the product’s possibilities

Back to Russian Thistle for Feed

A few years ago in many dry parts of Southern Alberta the only winter feed available in sufficient amount to winter over Southern Alberta’s cattle | population was Russian thistles. In many places large stacks of this com-
| fed throughout the winter. And it was the Russian thistle that kept ranchers and farmers in the cattle business. During the last four years the prairies and sloughs have yielded suificient hay to build yearly feed reserves. , Heavy feeding last winter cleaned out

The cattle popula- tion of Canada and the United States now ranges between 86 and 90 million If the demand for beef sudden- ly disappeared, millions of farmers would be bankrupted. This would in turn affect the people living in urban

Honor Alberta Cabinet Minister
Hon. A. J. Hooke, recently-appointed provincial secretary, was honored at a testimonial banquet in his Rocky Mountain House constituency last week. To mark Mr. Hooke’s election to cabinet rank, those at
the banquet presented him with a cinnamon bear skin.
In the upper
picture, a group of Rocky Mountain House Board of Trade officials give the minister a petition for submission te the Alberta legislative
post-war reconstruction committee.
From the left im the group are:
E. Ross, W. J. Kirby, Henry Stelfox, president Rocky Mountain Fish and Game Association; A. L. Urch; Mayor W. J. T. Strong, Rocky Mountain House, who is giving the petition to Mr. Hooke; W. H. Tesky, president of the Board of Trade; Mr. Hooke, and Constable R.
McMullen, R.C.M.P.
In the lower photo, Constable McMullen is at the
left; in the centre, Mr. Stelfox, holding the bear rug, and Mr. Hooke. Im the background is one of the rebuilt chimneys of old Fort Rocky Mountain House, built by the North West Company, in the early
1800's,
The petition presented to Mr. Hooke calls for completion of
the David Thompson Highway, from Red Deer to the Saskatchewan
crossing of the Banff-Jasper Highway. Such a road link, the petition
says, would offer immense opportunities for outlet of consumer goods
which will be needed in construction of bungalow camps and hotels ueed by tourists along the road.

ness of this situation.
The Russian thistle is not family. It gets the name thistle be- cause of the way in which the leaves of mature terminate in sharp spiny tips. In young plants the leaves, al- though slender ana pointed, are fleshy and readily eaten by cattle or sheep. When mature the plant becomes very course and is not relished. Analyses that young plants compare favorably with alfalfa. As the plants mature the protein con- tent drops off rapidly. The laxative effect of thistle may be due to the high potash content.
It is important to cut Russian thistle before the plants become mature. Us: ually the plants turn black in the stack, but this does not impair the value of the feed. Sometimes salt is added as it is put into the stack.
Recent rains in the dry parts of Al- berta will in all probability bring on a tresh crop of Russian thistles. In
