Howe, Minister HIT PARADE OF WAR SONGSREFUGE Notes from A Woman's Workshop Until I saw them through a blur And tended them with grief for her. —Barbara A. Jones ***** CANADIAN MACARONI you MUST USE LESS , 1 [HOME POWERfleWAR POWER?1 Church Meetings ■> >' ESCAPEMENTS When Grannie rolled up her sleeves -and started in to overhaul the woodshed, we knew something was brewing and that she was "working it off”. In these agonizing times, when anxiety is an ever-increasing bur­ den, we can imagine nothing more pitiable than the "helpless” woman, she who has never created for herself avenues of escape from her own wretchedness. Experience and observation seem to show that the person who stands up best to strain, is she who, through a variety of interests, has suitable outlets for supercharges of energy and emotion. The woman who has learned to enjoy many things, her cooking and sewing, her books and her music, who loves to create beauty from 'the odds and ends that come to her hand, who delights in the fine art of making friends, has in truth laid up for herself treasures against the day of trouble. Not in what she actually accomplishes lies her gain, but in this, that ‘her homely interests weave themselves into a fabric of tough, homespun comfort to wrap the spirit warmly against the winds of chill adversity. -—The Missus There is no| enough power for our war industries and for our homes. The use of ekctricity in our homes must be reduced —reduced away below normal, if we are to keep our war plants working at full speed. Unless you cut your powet consumption by at least twenty per cent you’re saving enough. When Grief had made her music still, She watered plants upon her sill. When Pain came by and took his turn, She put wood earth around her fern. When haunting Fear was at her heart, She pinched a little slip to start. I never knew until she went How much her green -things must have meant . . . Flour of all kinds-, including semo­ lina, fresh and frozen eggs, egg pow­ der, milk powder, salt, sugar, col­ ouring, oils and shortening are the materials used in -Canada in 'the manufacture of macaroni and kind­ red products, of which, according to the latest statistics, 44,400,P00 pounds were produced in the minion in 19 41. ***** TAKE A TIP Do- Songs that attained popularity during the last war, could at least aspire to a longer life than their modern counterparts may hope for. They came to us, not over the easy avenue of radio, but as sheet-music which we had to buy and learn for ourselves. Yet there were many good (and many bad) songs that some way or other were on everybody’s lips. There wag "Tipperary”, by Powers, which became the great marching song of the British Army. No one could explain why, “as it had very little connection with fighting. It had, however, one of those tunes which catch the popular ear. Pow­ ers himself never marched to it as he became a cripple and died within a year. Next to it in popularity was "Pack Up Your Troubles in Your Old Kit Bag”. The author, Judges, is said to have become depressed and to have taken his own life. An­ other high-ranking song was "Keep the Home Fires Burning”. It au­ thor, Novello, lived -to see its popu­larity, but his own -home was burn- ’ ed down. Only time will decide what songs, from out the present spate, • may be classed as real favorites. ♦ WE’RE WAR PLANTS MUST HAUL POWER Hensall Choir Leader is Honored WALKER—.WRIGHTON Know the meaning?
