Many of you will have seen “Mrs. Miniver” and marvelled, at the acting of Greer Garson (who, by the way, has been voted the premier artist for 1942). We do not attempt to comment on the production but to call attention to a curious quirk in human nature. It appears that in times of luxury and soft living we like to be entertained, by stories of the rich and great, whose lives encompass things outside our own reach— . we want to have the lives of other and different people interpreted to us. . But in the tough and difficult times we like to hear only about those who share with us the common hardship and universal suffering——in short, we need someone to interpret us to ourselves, Going back to the question of the title, “Mrs. Miniver”, it was pointed ‘ out to us that ’miniver’ is the old heraldic name for ermine. This was used only to trim the garments of royalty. So it aptly signifies that • sovereignty of soul which, in times of difficulty, clothes with kingly djg- • nity, the spirit of the common man.-The Missus BREAKFAST AT DAWN BIRTHDAYS ■ label' Is of a imbfom blend' cffine auabiby beas.

The discovery and general use of the sulpha drugs has neutral­ ized many hitherto deadly infec­ tions, and the discovery that dried blood and plasma may be used in transfusions permits this vital opera­ tion to be performed under hitherto impossible circumstances. In Rus­ sia, where the carnage has been heaviest, it is said that of the wounded are health. Speaking of Russia in 98 per cent restored to this connec­ tion, it is said that there are, with the Red armies, nurses whose duty it is to accompany the front-line troops into battle. Working in the field, they go in under fire and car­ ry the wounded on their backs to where they can have immediate treatment. In one day a Russian nurse rescued one hundred soldiers.

Using your a while conven- a tin of favorite biscuit recipe, prepare as for bak­ ing except for the addition of the liquid. With the messy part over a pan of hot tea-biscuits is easy to accomplish in a hurry. The mix lends itself to many var­ iations of the original. A trifle of sugar and raisins or currants gives the old favorite fruit-biscuit. Roll­ ed out and spread with cheese, jam, etc., then made into a roll and -slic­ ed, and you have a nice pad of pin­ wheels. The liquid binder may be sweet, sour or buttermilk or for a product de luxe, cream. The addi­ tion of an egg and an extra amount of milk gives a basic muffin mix­ ture which can be arranged with some sweetening or fruit as plain muffins or can be served with the meat course if canned corn or blend­ ed with tomato juice. Savory muf­ fins made with the addition of chopped parsley, a little onion or summer savory, are especially nice with pork gravy. The same basic batter may be poured over stewed fruit and baked for desert, or used as . a crust for meat pies or for dumplings. In short, there is no other popular and simple formula that lends itself so readily to suc­ cessful experiment.
