Personal loans for these and other reasonable purposes are
available at any branch of The Royal Bank of Canada to any
credit-worthy individual.
Obviously we do not encourage people to assume a debt they will be
unable to repay. Such loans can be an embarrassment and a worry
to the borrower as well as the bank.
BUT if you have a steady job and are in a position to pay back
your loan without undue hardship, by regular monthly instalments,
ydur logical course is to call at your nearest Royal Bank branch.
You will find the manager glad to discuss your needs with you and
to explain to you the remarkably low rate of interest charged by this

ripe berries)
734 caps (334 lbs.) sugar
34 cup strained lemon juice
1 bottle Certo fruit pectin

ly about 21/2 quarts fully ripe
berries. Place in jelly cloth or bag
and squeeze out juice. Measure
3% cups juice and 1/4 cup lemon
juice into a very large saucepan,
To make jelly. To the measured
juice in saucepan, add 7% cups
sugar and mix well. Place over

medium glasses.
Quite a few new homemakers
have asked me about pectin,
"What is it ?" they say. Pectin is
the jelling substance found in all
fruits in varying amounts. Certo
is pectin extracted from fruits
rich in this natural substance,
then refined, concentrated and
performance- contr011ed. Certain-
ly, nothing artificial or 'chemical'
about it! When you use Certo and
follow the tested Certo recipes,
your jam and jelly always sets
perfectly.
If your church group or women's
club is interested in homemade
jam and jelly, I have a Certo film
I'd be happy to loan you. No
charge. No obligation. It's called
"Jelly and Jam Session" and runs
about 12 Minutes. It's 10 mm, has
sound, and is in full color, If

Behind me was the "rat race"
while ahead of me stretched noth-
ing but day after monotonous day
of perfect freedom, Was I happy?
Was I looking forward to reading
the paper someone else had whip-
ped together in the wee, sma'
hours of the morning in Order to
meet a deadline? Was I savouring
the lucky break that had placed
my feet on the desk and my type-
writer-worn fingers in a twiddle?
I was not,
Instead, my head was in a
twirl, At times like this one us-
ually takes stock of one's desires
and ambitions, I started asking
myself questions such 'as, "What
do you want to do most? What
has been the greatest lack in your
life ? Where do you most want to
go?"
What did I most want to do?
That was an easy question to an-
swer, Now that I am free from
the routine of an exacting career
as a weekly editor, I want to hop
a train and call on other weekly
editors across Canada, who are
making an outstanding contribu-
tion to the nation's progress.
I want to travel to the seat of
Confederation, wander in the
Peace Gardens on the Canadian-
US border, feast my eyes on the
grandeur of the Rockies, smell
the roses in the Butchart Gard-
ens and watch the ships of the
Canadian Navy sail into Bedford
Basin for repairs, I want to tell
westerners of the wonders of
Niagara Falls and easterners of
the breath-taking beauty of the
foothills seen through a haze at
dusk.
The greatest lack in my life
had undoubtedly been the need for
more time. Time to read, to visit,
to know and enjoy more friend-
ships and to know my own country
better from coast to coast.
Because there are so many busy
men, women, aye and children too,
in this rapidly developing nation of
ours, I am blessing this opportun-
ity to keep this capsule diary for
you about Canada, its people, its
customs, its industries popping up
all over the land in infinite variety
—and above all, to write of its
great natural beauty, so many of
us miss in our haste-filled exist-
ence.
Catch me* right here next week,
when I write about my first jour-
ney in this great new adventure.

This was the moment I had so
often dreamed about. The one
when I could give my typewriter
an icy stare, and not turn a hair
because my mind was a blank and
the linotype operators were out of
copy. This was the first morning
of my retirement. The silence was
awful, not even a mouse licked

Wonderful things come with
summer — flowers, warm weather
and tempting juicy strawberries.
Everyone loves these delicious
berries, but the season is so short
that the wise homemaker makes
sweet spreads that the family
can enjoy all year round. To-day
it's no problem to fill a jelly cup-
board—our modern homemaker us-
es added fruit pectin and follows
kitchen tested recipes.
Great-grandmother followed a
rule of thumb method using wild
berries and maple sugar pound for
pound. There were no recipes, so
she boiled her fruit until the fruit
acid, sugar and pectin were in the
proper balance to form a jell. But
there were some fruits which nev-
er would jell, no matter how long
she boiled the mixture, and des-
pite her vast experience, she often
had failures even with the good
jelling fruits. To-day any fruit can
be jelled—even those known as
non-jelling fruits—if commercial
fruit pectin, in either liquid or
crystal form, is added. It's so easy
to make jams and jellies with ad-
ded fruit pectin. All you do is
prepare the fruit or juice, bring
the mixture to a full rolling boil
and boil hard 1 minute.
The modern way is the sure way,
too—it's failure-proof. There are
no complicated visual tests, When
you add pectin yourself you know
that when your jam or jelly mix-
ture has boiled hard for one min-
ute it will set perfectly. Because
the boil is so short, your jam or
jelly locks in all the flavor and
color of fully ripe fruit, and you
get up to 50 percent more jam or
jelly from the same amount of
fruit.
You can use this easy short boil
method all through the summer
with any fruit. There are many
delicious combinations you can
'make, like strawberry and rhubarb
jam, red raspberry and currant
Jelly, strawberry marmalade, st-
rawberry relish and coUntleSs oth-
ers. So why not follow the time-
honoured tradition and have a
well-stocked jam cupboard like
great-grandmother's?

7 cups sugar
1/2 bottle liquid fruit pectin

ing boil and boil hard I minute, st-
irring constantly. Remove from
heat and at once stir in liquid

turns for 5 minutes to cool slight-
ly, to prevent floating fruit. Lad-
le quickly into glasses. Paraffin
