St. Lawrence River Approaches Commanding the approaches from the ocean to the St. Lawrence river is Newfoundland, oldest colony in the British Commonwealth of Nations. Southwest of Newfoundland and northeast of Cape Breton island is Cabot strait, 55 miles wide, largest of three entrances to the gulf. Smaller but very important is the Strait of Belle Isle, ten miles wide, separating Newfoundland from Labrador on the mainland to the north, and serving as passage on the shortest shipping route from Montreal to Liverpool. Smallest is the Strait of Canso, half a mile wide, separating Cape Breton island from Nova Scotia. Navigation in the Gulf of St. Lawrence has its hazards. There are frequent fogs. Tidal currents are menacing. Iron ore deposits in the north shore hills cause strange compass deviations. The severe winter climate that closes the river several months a year causes spring ice jams in the gulf. These factors plus the numerous islands take a heavy toll in wrecked ships.

Growing Their Own Rice Eight thousand small farmers in South Carolina will buy no rice this year. They’re growing their own, according to the department of agriculture. These Farm Security administration borrowers will save the money they usually spend for rice, and at the same time will make a substantial'contribution to the nation’s Food for Freedom program by releasing rice stores for soldiers and sailors. Contrary to popular belief, rice can be grown successfully in the southern states; although sdmewhat smaller in size than that grown on irrigated land, it has equal nutritive value. The rice is planted late in April and requires little cultivation. Families report no difficulty in producing or preparing the rice for home use. Many harvest the crop in bundles, and thresh it at home by beating the bundles over old bed springs.

Wkaiy<Hi WAR BONDS

The mess kit is one of the most important items in the Soldier’s equipment. It consists generally of a pan, a plastic canteen and cup, a fork, knife and spoon, all in a canvas pack cover. The total cost runs up to about $2.00.

Canteens and other items such as handles on knives and forks, formerly made of aluminum, are now plastic. Alloy has replaced stainless steel. You can buy many of these mess kits for our boys with your purchases of War Bonds and Stamps. Invest at least 10 percent of your income in War Bonds or Stamps every pay day and top the quota in your county. r;. s. Treasury Department

New Goggles Aid Air mots Before going on night duty air pilots in the military service spend about half an hour in a darkened room so that their eyes will become adjusted to seeing in dim light. To eliminate this waiting period in a darkened room, special goggles have been developed recently in the United States to condition eyes of aviators. The goggles are made with a red filter between two layers of Polaroid. This arrangement shuts out most of the light falling on the outer part of the retina, which is used principally by the eyes in seeing under low illumination. With the new goggles a pilot may remain in a fully lighted room until he goes on duty.
