So use sugar. Use accur­ ate amounts of sugar so that none is wasted. Use fruits that cook io a jam consistency readily—these are currants, gooseberries, crab­ apples, grapes, tart plums, straw­ berries, apricots and cranberries. When you use smaller amounts of | sugar longer cooking is required, | During this precarious stage the1 cooking mixture should be kept ‘ boiling constantly and stirred fre-| quently so that the jam will not be i tough or scorched. RASPBERRY' JAM 4 quarts raspberries, 6 cups sugar, H cup cider vinegar. Crush fruit and simmer 15 utes. Add sugar and vinegar. Cook for about 3>0 minutes. Pour lb- Canadian cheese, 2 2-3 cups milk, 4 eggs, % tsp- salt, pepper and paprika. Trim crusts from bread and ar­ range slices in the bottom of a greased baking dish. Slice the cheese and place on bread; cover with the remaining slices of bread. Beat eggs slightly, add milk and seasonings. Pour milk mixture over the bread, cover and keep in refrigerator until ready to bake. Place the casserole in a shallow pan, surrounding it with water and bake in electric oven 3-50 degree for 45 minutes. This is like a souf­ fle and should be served at once. New Honey Ceiling Prices New ceiling prices set by the Wartime Prices and Trade Board for honey give pr->davers a higher return for number one white honey than for any other grades, accord­ ing to an anno in-aunent by W. Harold McPhillips, prices and sup­ ply representative for Western Ontario. Prices have been set. taking into account cost of labor and. different sized containers. These adjust­ ments will mean a slightly lower price than last year for honey in small containers, and a price slight­ ly above the 1943 level for honey in large containers. The prices from the. producer to the consumer are F.O.B- at the sellers shipping point for No. 1 grade white honey packed in glass containers of any size or capacity or any other container of one pound of less 17c per pound, if packed in containers other than glass of more than one pound cap­ acity 16c, if sold in bulk 15c pound. All other grades of honey are one ce'nt a pound less. You don’t need a little bird to tell you that a Classified Ad brings direct results!

Deay Mr. Creech: I received a parcel yesterday from the War Time Comimttee and I can hardly tell you how much 1 appreciate it. Each item in the par­ cel will be put to the best use pos­ sible. I must say, you people ar home are doing a wonderful job and I know there isn’t one of' us over here who doesn’t appreciate it. I am still in the British Isles but have been up here in the north of Scotland since January. I like this part of the island much better than England as it seems more like home. We had a little snow in February and March which kind o> put the winter touch on things but outside of that it has been quite mild with only occasional cold spells. I find the Scotch people to be more friendly too. There seems to be a friendly spirit wherever you go. I have been to Aberdeen a few times and I find it a very nice place. They call it the granite city and I can easily see where they get the name as practically all the buildings are made of granite. It is quite a clean city too, in it’s about the cleanest city I seen since I came across. There doesn’t seem to much more I can tell you I’ll close, again thanking the lovely parcel.

After my mail being held up for more than two weeks I received four letters last Monday; the reason for this was, we were awaiting the invasion of France where I am now and I sure was very glad to find my mail over here waiting for me and got it shortly after I disembarked. I also received your box and cigar­ ettes several days ago. I have been in Prance long en­ ough to get a picture of what this country is like and in many ways including climate I find if more like Canada than England.

Dechman) The Town Weekly is coming into its own, It has made a great im­ provement in the last few years. This mu cm is crystal clear to anyone who knows these publications and the men who make them. Time was, I am sorry to say, that the town paper was a more or less shabby sheet. Men drifted into the business through impulse rather than understanding. A business man who missed the boat, a teacher who quarreled with the trustees, a preacher who, for one reason or an­ other, fell out of the pulpit—all these and more, sought joy and ex­ pression in the publishing business. They knew little of printing, less of editing. They were almost wholly ignorant of prices, costs and collec­ tions. Things done, by these men, made angels weep and petitors to indulge sub-vocal swearing. In old days some new age developed, portation brought closer Vice-Pres........ WM. A.

The* revival of the town may be one of the notable events of the latter half of this century. got Improved the city The radio became a of news. The weekly had to vamped. It was compelled to its own field, occupy it more close­ ly, apply business methods—survive or quit. The competitive system is harsh. It was never meant for weak­ lings, but those who survived be­ came strong—fitted for effort, con­ ditioned for survival, made capable of progress under difficulties. The town weekly covers its own territory. Any ,good town and the area around it provides a news field which is the natural monopoly of the local paper. With this of course goes the job work of the area. Some towns have become stag­ nant iii the last few years, but I have a prevailing idea that the towns of Canada Will stage a come­ back, The farmer, too, will come into his own and get a large share of the national income. These events will help the town paper, en­ large its field, make it stronger than it ever was before. There is no reason why these de­ sirable events should ndt happen within the hext few years. The town has many advantages. Costs of liv­ ing are less—-costs of production, in many industries, are lewer than in cities.
