Is it simply a matter of looking for bargain price tags on everything? Is it taking the tired head of lettuce, the wilted celery in order to save the difference in cost between them and prime produce? Of course, it isn’t! You can afford good quality if you’re wise and eat more of what you pay for. Buy those plump, golden oranges and that three-rib roast, but use every last bit of them. Orange peel makes a good sweet pickle and a beef bone is the soul of a soup! It is all in knowing how. You have to know how to salvage the vitamin value that lies in the out side lettuce leaves. You should know how to capitalize on the flavour hiding in the celery tops that the less skilfull cook throws out. And you need good recipes like these; ’J ’ SWEET’ PICKLED ORANGE PEEL Out in;pieces 1% lbs. orange peel; cover with water. Cook 15 mins Drain.' Moil .together' 3 cups sugar, 2 cups vinegar and 2 tbsps. whole pickling spices for 5 mins. Add peel; cook, stirring occasionally, 1% hours. Makes 3 pints. BEElF BONE SOUP Cover leftover roast beef bones and scraps with water. Cover; sim mer 1 hour; remove bones. Add 1 cup diced carrot, *4 cup choped onion, salt, pepper. Cover. Simmer 45 mins. Add 1% cups cooked or canned tomatoes; heat. Garnish with lemon. iServes 4. GREEN LEAF SALAD<* Wash outside lettuce leaves; place in saucepan. Add boiling water to 1/3 depth of leaves. Cover, cook 10 minutes. Drain. 'Chill. Chop; add French {tressing. Pack’ into oiled individual moulds; chill. Unmould; ■garnish with hard-cooked eggs and Watercress. TAKE A TIP 1. Tea is orange pekoe, probably to you. Did you know that you should say peck-o, not peek-o, and that the word is an index of size of the tea leaves, not of flavour?’ 2. Oranges are usually navel (nay- vel) oranges at this time of year. They are easily segmented and easily served whole instead of juiced. They are best for marma lade, too. The Valencies we • buy during the. summer are more juicy. 3. ‘The lemons on our market dry out easily. If there is no room in the refrigerator’ or no refriger ator, keep lemons in cold water. It’s an old-fashioned stunt that also refreshes those that are get ting dry and hard. * » THE SUGGESTION BOX Mrs. N. C. says: Dish towels, hung straight after. washing and then dried, are more absorbent if they are not ironed. Mr. N. J. says: Old corks will protect the points of scissors, icfe picks, etc. Mrs. G. E. SPAREBIBS— 3 to 4 lbs. prunes, salt, pepper, flour. Select two sections of spareribs. Soak prunes in cold water over night or for several hours, and drain. Put the sections of spareribs together with the prunes between and tie to hold in place. Season the meat with salt and pepper, and rub with flour. Place it Ou a rack in ah open roasting pan and sear in a hot oven, 450 F., until lightly browned. Reduce the heat to moderate ’(3 25 F.) and continue cooking for about an hour longer or until the meat is tender. Baste occasionally with the drippings in the pan. # * * Anne Allan invites you to write to hei* % The Times-Advocate.

Exeter’s Natural and Industrial Resources A few weeks ago the Exeter Lions club were asked to make a survey of the municipality to as certain the natural and. industrial resources to be submitted to the Ontario Department of Planning and Development.

GENERAL INFORMATION « The Village of Exeter i§> located in the Southern half of Huron County, on Highway No. 4, thirty miles north of London. Exeter was organized as a Muni-, cipality to make a grant to the projected London-Huron and Bruce Railway. The last rail was laid just north of Exeter station. At one time the banks of the now Aux Sable River were the scene of considerable industrial de velopment, such as a tannery, a woollen mill, a flax mill, and a saw mill. The Salt Works, the Verity Plough and Jackson’s Cloth ing factory were later industries. The prewar population of 16 00 has now passed the 2000 mark, partly due to the close proximity of the Centralia Airport. The people are chiefly descendents of Devon shire English ancestors. Exeter is but twenty minutes drive by car from the summer re sort of Grand Bend, on the Blue Water Highway, one of the largest Summer Resorts in the Province. The rich farm lands surrounding the town adds very materially to its prosperity, and the farming community.

FUEL SUPPLY; All by rail or transport. Labour Supply The matter of labour supply as pertaining • to the Village of Exeter has been similar to the situation prevailing in most communities of comparable size and location. With a large Air Training School located six miles from the Village of Cen tralia, and a large seasonable labour market at the local branch factory of Canadian Canners Ltd., the de mand 'more, frequently than noit was substantially in excess of the supply. The situation was periodically relieved however, by* a fair supply of farm labour which became avail able in off-seasons. This, however, did not tend to alleviate an acute shortage of skilled laborers. (Such tradesmen as carpenters, brick layers and skilled construction workers of all types were scarce. In pre-war times the situation was pretty much the reverse of the foregoing and both skilled and un skilled labour was available in suf ficient quantity to meet any and all demands, A similar situation can be said to apply for female labour. With few exceptions there has been little or no demand for skilled female workers. The .local canning factory as the chief market for female labour, employed only the unskilled type, At the present time there is virtually no other market for fe male labourers, The scale of wages during war time would in general be considered reasonable, probably being at its ■peak level now. The .rates at pres ent, range approximately as fol lows: SKILLED LABOUR MALE: Get* Riqfct (Utec _ MISERIES OF VInfcdfcuft Colda! ♦^Stimulates chest and back-sur faces like a good, warming poultice Best-Known Home Remedy You Can Use Has Special Penetrating-Stimulating Action That Works Just Fine 14/ Penetrates deep into bronchial tubes with its special medicinal vapors Homer proved, VapoRub’s special penetrating--stirnulating action starts to work mighty fast-—and keeps on working for hours—to relieve such miseries of colds as coughing spasms, bronchial congestion, musjcular tightness, When you rub Vicks VapoRub on throat, chest and back and see the results—you’ll know why it is a family standby in so many millions of homes. Grand for children and grownups. Try it. chanics, machinists, etc. etc. 6 5c to 85c per hour; Construction Workers (carpenters, masons, brick layers, etc.) 90c to $1.25 per hour. UNSKILLED LABOUR MALE: 35c to 50q per hour. -SKILLED LABOUR FEMALE: 30c to 45c per hour UNSKILLED 'LABOUR FEMALE: 25c to 30c per hour. Housing during the war years has presented a serious problem with many of the personnel of the Aii* Training School seeking ahd obtaining .residence in the Village. This is a situation which is likely to remain for at least as long as the Air School continues to operate. The citizens response* to the shortage has been good, with many buildings and dwellings being con verted to provide .more’-residential accommodation. Prior to the war there was ample housing accom modation of'-very type available. Prevailing rentals would run be tween $20.00 and $40.00 per month for houses and apartments alike. In pre-war years accommodation was available at rentals substan tially below these figures. This year seven new houses were erected. There are now four under construction, but the demand for houses is still great, as ex-service men return. Industries The main industry is the .Cana dian Canners, with largest canning plant in the Province. They also operate a dehyrdating plant and turnip waxing plant, the latter two being operated five to six months of the year. 'The Canning plant operates from June to October. The main products canned are peas, beans, corn, beets, and carrots. There are some 1'0'0 male and 100 female employees at .the peak of tlie season. The plant has a very large cap acity, with a floor space of 44,500 square feet. (Farmers in the com munity are finding the growing of crops for canning purposes to be a very profitable one, and one that lends itself to mechanical machin ery. The deep rich soils are partic ularly adapted -to the 'growing of sugar .beets, which are shipped by rail to the refineries of Chatham and Wallaceburg. The Huron Lumber Company is an old and established concern, em ploying seven or eight males work ers, and has a flooi* space of ap proximately 6,500 square feet. The equipment is of the most modern type. Industrial Sites Available New industries would be Very welcome to this community. A number of good sites are available both on the Canadian National Railway, and No. 4 Highway, all within the Municipality. At the -present there are not many build ings available that can be convert ed for factory" use, but suitable buildings might be constructed for interested 'party.
