After explaining that a hydrant branch" was the pipe connecting the hydrant with the main, Mr.

Archibald said that most of the difficulty was in the City Park area and that, as fast as the frozen branches were located, they were being thawed, either with electricity or steam, or both. "We are testing these branches every day," Mr. Archibald stated. Many connections have been frozen this winter that never were before." Mr. Archibald added that, when the weather euddenly turned mild It did not mean that there was a correspondingly sudden rl9e in temperature at a distance of several feet below the ground surface.

Mr. Archibald repeated a warning, issued March 25, that taps which had been left running to keep them from freezing should not be turned off just now because the weather was milder. "These taps should be kept running until householders are notified by the city engineers department," Mr. Archibald said. The water wasted Is not charged to the consumer.

If people turn off these taps, the responsibility for being without water will be their own." rrHE Belgian stallion, Mon Gros 3rd, owned by C. M.

All agreed many owed their lives to their captain, IJeut.

Cdr. W. F. Campbell, R.C.N.V.R., of Saskatoon. COURAGE, HEROISM They told, too, many other tales of courage and heroism.

Of how, for instance, Lieut. H. Tlngley of Fort Garry, Manitoba now in hospital at Algiers swam 150 yards to a float, giving help and words of cheer to others, only to collapse himself when he was pulled to aafety. They discovered both his legs were broken. It was because of the fact that Lieutenant Commander Campbell gave prompt orders to abandon ship that most of the men who were saved got away.

The corvctto sank In from three to four minutes. He took a quick glance over the ship, saw that she was going, and gave the order to abandon," said Lieut. R. A. Jarvis, R.C.N.V.R., of Toronto, first lieutenant of the ship.

There can no doubt that his prompt action enabled many to get away who otherwise might not have done so. After giving the order, he carried on, helping tho men and destroying secret papers, quietly and efficiently," HELPED THEM GET AWAY I was the last man out from below decks, and tha last man to see him," said Leading S.B.A. James Cornell, R.C.N.V.R., Fort William, OnL He had been helping some men get away.

Pascoe, district recruiting officer, in regard to recruiting for the Canadian Army (Active) during the month of March. For the first 18 days of the month only 289 recruits were taken on strength, as compared to 613 for the comparative period in February and 955 in Januaiy. Thp lower figures for the currcfit month are attributed by Colonel Pascoe to severe weather conditions which rendered travel almost impossible. With better weather, he anticipates that the -numbers enlisting will steadily increase, particularly in view of the rumored invasion of Europe in which the Canadian Army is slated to play a prominent part. Reserves to take the place of casualtiee -will be needed and must be trained for that purpose, Colonel Pascoe points out.

He urges that all who come within the age limits, and are physically fit, will voluntarily offer themselves for service. i WOMEN ENLISTING A brighter picture is that of enlistment ip the Canadian Womens Army Corps, where the numbers steadily increase. For the first 18 days of March 88 girls were taken into the corps compared with 72 for February, and 48 for the corresponding period in January. In spite of this good showing a lot more girls can be used in the C.W.A.C., the district recruiting officer stresses. Two hundred a month enlistments is the mark now being shot at, and if this number comes forward It can easily be taken care of.

More and more girls are realizing that they are "the girls behind the man behind the guns, Colonel Pascoe says, and he points out that each girl enlisting releases a man for more active duties. A distinct dropping off in enlistments for the Veterans Guard of Canada is reported by Colonel Pascoe. In addition many of those offering their services have been found unfit for active service in this present struggle, but there is urgent need for every man who saw service in the First Great War to again come forward and do his bit. Rehabilitation Meeting April 6 Mayor S. N.

MacEachern said today that the recently-formed Provincial Rehabilitation Committee will hold a meeting in Saskatoon April 8. chiefly for the purpose of hearing the views of several University of Saskatchewan professors on rehabilitation.

Explan, ation of the dollar wheat levels marked up In Winnipeg price quotations lies in part, In the opinion of Cecil Lamont, vice-president of Northwest Line Elevators Association, In the vast consumption of cereals for war industrial purposes now under way In North America. Just back from the annual conference of the National Farm Che-murgio council In Chicago, Mr.

Lament reported figures on proposed use of wheat for industrial alcohol that indicate considerable demand will develop for Canadian wheat to turn into alcohol In U.S. plants. He voiced regret over slowness In creating industrial alcohol facilities In Western Canada, with the result that grain that could be processed in Pialrie factories will be exported. USE 212,000,900 BUSHELS In 1943, U.S. distilleries will consume 212,000,000 bushels of wheat, to produce 630.000,000 gallons of alcohol.

The U.S, Government has asked for Increase of distillery capacity to one billion gallons of alcohol annually and this would create a market for 400,000,000 bushels of wheat. By comparison, Canada's 1943 alcohol production plans of 14 million imperial gallons will absorb 7,000,000 bushels of wheat. Mr, Lamont reported that all distillers in Canada and the U.S. have now converted their plants to use wheat and corn for alcohol, rather than molasses. Among 300 scientists attending, he found conviction that dwindling petroleum reserves already assured greater use of motor fuels produced ftom grain.

Chairmen of the various committees will be elected at the first meeting of the executive to be called soon by President Westwood. C. J.

"Westy" Westwood was elected president of the Saskatoon Travellers' Day Association at a general meeting at the Saskatoon Exhibition Board offices at The Bessborough, Sunday. Mr. West-wood, who succeeded Phil Wilton, last years president, has been actively connected for a number of years with the travellers' parade, held annually in conjunction with the Saskatoon Exhibition. Ernie 'Williams, last' year In charge of the publicity committee, was the meeting's choice for first vice-president, while Ross Campbell, chairman of last years transportation committee, -was chosen second vice-president. Charles Gilliland and Arthur Stubby" Fowler were re-elected secretary and treasurer, respectively.

Mr. Wilton was tha unanimous choice for past-president, which means that he will be the associations representative on the Exhibition Board in 1944. Don Lumby, last year's past-president, represents the travellers on this years board. The meeting decided that Travellers Day will be hold on Friday, July 18. The fair is being staged from July 12 to 17, inclusive.

In passing the resolution, setting the date for the popular feature, the association expressed appreciation of the fact that a fair is being held -at all this year In view of the many difficulties confronting the board because of war conditions. It was the concensus of the as Between Achillea and Zinnia, the names which open and close the alphabetical index to the 1943 spring catalogue of J. H.

Achillea and Zinnia, incidentally, are both varieties of flowers.

Each flower listed is briefly, but clearly, described, and attractive pictures accompany most of the descriptions. Achillea, for instance, is described as a beautiful, white perennial of easy cultuf-e, which grows about two feet high and from spring until frost is literally covered with bloom of the purest double white flowers. Fine for cut flowers." One page Is devoted to flower novelties for 1943, and special varieties of Larkspur, Petunia, Morning Glory and other favorites are given, A current price list for seed grains, grasses, clovers and so forth is given, along with a table showing how much to sow to the acre. Of particular interest this year is the section on flax, in which it is stated that Crown flax from which the rust resistant variety Royal was developed, is one of the most necessary varieties for 1943, as demand for Royal is much greater than the supply. With so much attention being given this year to Victory gardens, the section on vegetables should be of special interest and help.

Important details will make choice easier, as, for example, the fact that the variety of head lettuce known as New York No. 12) will stand up well during hot dry weather and that the variety of onion known as Mountain Danvers is very desirable variety for planting for early market and for winter storage. There Is Information In this catalogue to interest all persons from grain farmers to fur farmers.
