they are not. wanted, ' and where

and father both worked out and
have a' large family who are all

their dinners to school or it is left
ready for them at home. The boys
and some of the girls do odd jobs•
after school while the others stay
with a neighbor or hang around
home till • their parents return
from work. The' Aid steps in arid
tries to claim their children when
all these poor people' are trying
to do is earn a living:.,,
But do they go where they Are
wanted? For instance, a mother
wlio has a family and whose hus-
band is in the: Service;shuts her
childreri up in the house, .while
she goes dancing; at all hours of
the • night, drinks like a : horse
and has a hard name; while the
poor children arehalf starved:
Isn't this where the . Aid .should
be? • but• no! Did you 'ever see . the
`Children's Aid .come when the
father of the family is at home?
Why don't . they • come and talk
to the father, instead of coming
in the afternoon troubling the
mother? Is the father not the
head of the hoose?
I know an Aid girl that ran
away and married a•fine" man.
They owned their own :land and
everything, but because his fath-
er's conduct v►rasn't very good, the
Aid carne along causing trouble
and ordering her to have this and

right for them to order when_
they don't pay .for the things.

ed by the Consumer: Section, too -
minion 'Department' Agricul-
ture. Although the amount of
sugar is limited due to the war,
it: does not follow that the: great-,
est
est amount cannot be canned,
because, in .the matter of fruit,
after the -sugar has been stretched
to its utmost, fruit can be canned
without sugar.
The bulletin states: "All- fruits
may be successfully canned with=.

stead of syrup. Adel five minutes .
