Not to be outdone, and deter­ mined. that the party was to go through, plans were changed accor­ dingly and the party was "pulled off” in the Recreation Hall, No we didn’t build a big bonfire in the middle of the floor and get a lot of smoke in our eyes, because with the assistance of ASO. Morrow and her very capable kitchen staff, the corn was done to a turn in the mess and brought steaming to the Rec. Hall. The beginning of the evening was novel too—-we tried a little stunt that has not yet been "worked out” at No. 9 before—we had what we called "A Small Games Night.” Worn 8 to 10 o’clock such games as bridge, euchre, chess, checkers, darts, indoor quoits, bingo, ping pong and paddle tennis (paddle 'ten­ nis is a new indoor game which is a cross between regular tennis and table tennis, played with’ wooden paddles), were never stopped. The tablefull of small paper games, geo­ metries, monopoly and puzzles really had a "going over” and was kept busy all night. After 10 we served corn, bread and butter, cake and coca cola to the amiable and hungry participants. The evening wound up with a half hour of dancing. We think the evening was very successful—at least everyone said they enjoyed it immensely—but it wouldn’t have been possible to pro­ vide it so cheaply if it hadn’t been for the kind co-operation of two local farmers, Mr. Cecil Skinner and Mr. Otto Brown, who very gener­ ously donated the corH, and we extend "big armfuls of thank you” to them. Maybe we should thank the wea­ therman too, for being so ungracious about the rain, but we really good fun. had and this Mother’s Corner Mother’s Corner of sewing mending in the Recreation Hall week rather "went to the boards”, What with thihkink about our in­ door corn roast and the weather, the personnel must have forgotten about this free serivce of sewing and mend­ ing for the boys which is carried on every night, However we do the kind ladies of Cross branch who us of their time last week, despite the fact there were only half a dozen articles, or so, to work on.

Now everybody is doing it and we are tearing our hair out in great grasps trying to keep enough 'sheep shearling on hand to supply the demand. Right now the cupboard is bulging—-but ii won’t last. The fever has hit the hospital lately and patients and staff both are working away at gloves, bill folds and ladies’ hand­ bags, if you please. Thursday night the handicraft meeting was a bang-up success.

Mozart, like many men absorbed with anbitions, remained poor but his music is gentle, innocent, and childlike for the most part, like his character. Two of Brahms’ works were played next — "Waltzes” and "Var­ iations on a Theme”. Brahms was a musician by heredity. He studied willingly and earnestly as a child, He lived calmly, happily and succes­ sfully. Consequently most of his works are known for their scholar­ ly perfection. "Fountains of Rome”, represent­ ing four of the famous Roman fountains at the hour in which their characters are most in harmony with the surrounding landscape was the following recording. This is a lovely composition written by Res­ pighi, with) altogether delightful finale describing the Villa Medici fountain at sunset. The final number was “Tod and Verklarung” by Richard Strauss. This is a strong moving composition interpreting the death struggle of q sick man All Ranks Dance The All Ranks Dance Tuesday night seemed to have a special at­ mosphere throughout. Our own Station orchestra was back and right 1 on the beat. Everybody was having i fun and did, you notice the. lack of "sitter outers” during the dances? There is a lot of thought being given to entertainment at these dances, but the orchestra provided ail impromptu slight-of-hand disap­ pearing act after one of the inter­ missions. Everybody was present and accounted for on the down beat, then presto, the brass section did a back base shuffle and were seen no more until the bench was righted again. There is talk of taking turns With the different sections of the orchestra to do this specially novelty number on succeeding weeks, but Freddie thinks dropping the piano through a trap door might knock it, a bit off key—-or did he say "knock off a few keys.0 Anyway, everyone had heaps of fun with FO. A, Irwin acting as and we’re alt looking forward to next Tuesday, and patience to pull 3 0 to have lighter so don’t wait your best beau to show you how it’s done. Incidentally we have the most competent instructors. LAC. Jack Zufelt Marion and Bobby, of London, Mr. and Mrs. Harold Willard and Rte, Donald Willard, of Hensail.

GETTING READY FOR RED SHIELD APPEAL The Red Shield Home Front Ap­ peal which has met with a hearty response from Exeter and District citizens during the War years, is again being made and the yearly drive to raise funds starts on Sept. 18th. The object which is familiar to most citizens, is to help the Sal­ vation Army to help others and to keep the home fires burning bright­ ly while our mon overseas are bat­ tling the enemy for the establish­ ment of a better way of life for all. This year the financial respon­ sibility is a bit heavier owing to the need for getting ready for rehabll" itallon services after the war* The T. Milburn. Co, Ltd, Toronto, Ont. Milk is our most valuable food. It must provide us with milk to drink, with butter, cheese, evaporated and concentrated milk and a score of other products. Canadian farmers have done a magnificent job. They have increased WHAT HAPPENS TO ALL THIS MILK? In spite of greater production, the demand for milk and milk products has risen even more, because— (a) There’s more money to spend; (b) More people are working, with changed food habits and in­ creased food needs; The only Canadian-made butter not consumed in Can­ ada is that sent by the Red Cross in brisoner-of-v/ar par* cels; each of which Contains d 1 lb. fin. IT TAKES 9 QUARTS OF MILK TO MAKE ONE POUND OF BUTTER C endr‘^ a// - milk production in 1943 by more than 540 million quarts over 1938. They have done this in the face of a 25% reduction in farm help, equipment shortages, and the fact that it takes two to three years to bring a calf into milk production. (c) Our Armed Forces and Allies make heavy demands. It has therefore been necessary by rationing, by subsidies, by careful planning and by other controls—to divert our milk sup­ ply into channels most suited to our various food needs. FLUID MILK TAKES 35% OF OUR MILK Because fluid milk is regarded by nutri­ tionists as the most nearly perfect food, nothing has been allowed to interfere with its sale. Today, Canadians are drinking more milk and a greater percentage of our milk supply is being consumed as fluid milk—than ever before. Fluid milk has the right of way, but don’t waste a drop of it. BUTTER TAKES 48% OF OUR MILK In the first three years of war, our butter consumption increased 10.9%. So, ration­ ing was established to prevent too much milk going into butter, at the expense of other important milk products, and to insure a fair share to everyone. The rationing of butter was influenced by the fact that it has less nutritive value than some other milk products, and be­ cause we get a generous supply of fats or their food equivalent in other forms. To maintain a proper balance of con­ sumption between various milk products and to ensure that butter is put into storage for winter use—when production drops—it is necessary to reduce the ration from time to time. Ths above graph shows in percentage how the total Canadian milk supply is used. M^C-EL- evap. cheese fluid butter LANEOUS MILK MILK r ? CHEESE TAKES IO% OF OUR MILK Canada’s annual cheese production has gone up by about 37 million pounds since the war. Cheese is a concentrated food product— easily shipped and stored. That is one reason why we send large quantities to Great Britain to help meet its pressing food needs. While in the last year we ex­ ported four of every five pounds of cheese we made, our production has been so increased that we have left for domestic use about three million pounds a year more than before the war; WfW EVAPORATED MILK / If/Z TAKES 6% OF OUR MILK UJ More than twice as much (152 million lbs.) ..........—-............ ■I was used by Canadians this last year as in ms'* 1938 (74 million lbs.). And yet, there has not been enough. Where has it all gone ? It’s an important food for babies—and there are 50,000 more of them a year. Larger quantities have gone to areas where fresh milk is not available. Armed Services have added new demands. In spite of this, our exports of ELI, evaporated milk to Great Britain, New­ foundland and the West Indies, etc., are maintained at pre-war level. KE CREAM AND OTHER MILK PRODUCTS Take about v/a% of our milk The manufacture of ice cream is restricted to the 1941 level because milk is needed for other purposes. Milk Powder and Condensed Milk are tak- ing more milk. Milk sugar is used in the manufacture of Penicillin and for other wartime purposes. Casein (a milk by-prod­ uct) is used m making glue for aeroplanes. 90% OF THE MILK PRODUCED IN CANADA IS CONSUMED IN CANADA *• THE WARTIME PRICES AND TRADE BOARD I;
