(Enter ye in at the straight gate, wide is the gate and ‘broad is the way that leadeth to destruction and many there be which go in there Because straight is the gate and narrow is the way which lead­ eth unto life and few there be that find it). She also told of how God speaks through visions and dreams and related how God had spoken to Pharoah, Baalim, Dan­ iel and Cornelius, and how God had given a vision to Zacharis and Elizabeth of the birth of a son and he was to be called John which we know as John the Bap­ tist. The greatest vision was when God spoke to Joseph and Mary about the birth of Jesus.

Many hope to travel great distances to their homes while others are looking forward to entertaining the family at home. For the hostess, the fruit is an essential all during the holiday week. To have a mellow flavour, the Christmas cake and pudding should be baked now and stored carefully. After the cake and pud­ ding have been cooled, wrap in two thicknesses of wax paper and store in a tin or wooden box that has a tight cover.

Have all necessary utensils and ingredients ready before begin- nig to mix cake, and make sure that the oven is at proper tempera­ ture when cake is ready to be baked. 2. A round bottom bowl and a wooden spoon are two suitable utensils. 3. All ingredients should be fresh and of good quality. 4. Fine granulated sugar or soft brown sugar makes a fine textured cake. Sift coarse white sugar. 5. Fruits and huts should he tho­ roughly cleaned and allowed to dry, then dredge with one-quarter 01 the flour before adding to other ingredients. 6. Fruit cakes take a lot of stir­ ring to distribute the materials and Should be poured into tins lined with 2 or 3 thicknesses of oiled paper. 7. Place cakes on rack one-third to one-half of the distance from bottom element. Do not use top element .during baking and do not 8. A small tin containing % cup of water on the oven rack keeps cake moist. 9. When baked, cake shrinks from the pan, or if bone knitting needle is inserted into the middle of cake and comes out perfectly clean, it is certain that cake is is baked. 10. Do not turn fruit cakes out of pan. THE QUESTION BOX Mrs. D. P. asks: What causes soggy fruit cake? Answer: Fruit and nuts were not dry or too much sugar or fat. Mrs. W. C. asks: Why does cake rise unevenly? Answer: Overheating, too much flour or .uneven heat of oven may cause this. W. M. J. asks: What would you substitute for cassia?

More Care by Car Drivers is Needed Despite ideal driving conditions in the best October weather the Province has enjoyed in over a hundred years, 89 persons were killed on Ontario roads last month This toll, while below the 95 dead for October of last year, em­ phasizes the need for greater care in the coming winter months. Highway officials point out that people over 35 and undei’ 65 are more exposed to traffic hazards this time of year and consequently accidents increase in this group. Traffic accident figures for this October show that of the 89 per­ sons killed, 27 were between the ages of 35 and 65. Last October 25 of the traffic deaths involved people in this age group. Accident statistics indicate that while fewer children, proportion­ ately, are killed^on the roads dur­ ing the months of' early darkness, more middle-aged and elderly people suffer injury oi’ death. In cities .and towns slippery streets and the tricky light of the dying day make the evening rush hour especially dangerous to the per­ sons on foot. At night the dark clothes worn by most adults make them diffi­ cult for motorists to see. Pedestri­ ans are urged when walking down poorly-lit streets or along country roads to carry or wear something^ white. Although there is less motor traffic on rural roads in the fall and winter months the added haz­ ards make them the most danger­ ous. Early darkness, rain, sleet, fog and ice call for extra care on the part of drivers and pedestri­ ans. Rural accidents accounted for 46 per cent of the total accidents last year in Ontario. And Novem­ ber and December were the worst months in 1946 for accidents on country roads. While the October record was comparatively good considering the big increase in traffic, the High­ ways Department emphasizes that the last two months of the year are usually the worst months .for the 'Province generally and urges everyone to make additional allow­ ance for the risks peculiar to this season of the year, Particularly those between 35 and 65.
