There are no facts given to back up the statements made. The Christian concept Of brotherhood is entirely tacking. The principles of the Atlantic Charter are not even .hinted at. We cannot believe any informed person could accept such statements as “All are unanimous, that .all .believe the Jew brought his calamities upon' himself—(he is the world’s number .one trouble­ maker. Are these the kind of statements which will help to bring in the “brave new world” for which many of our brave boys .sacrificed their lives?

An Albino Squirrel Exeter this year again boasts of a rarity in the form of an albino squirrel. It is a pure white squirrel with large bushy white tail. It is the third albino squirrel that Exet­ er can boast of in the past five years. The first one to be seen in Exeter a few years ago became quite a pet and would visit some of the homes in search of food. It did not survive the winter and was found in the spring at the foot of a tree. A --second one appeared the next year and disappeared in the fall. This year another has appear­ ed on the scene.

This 5 driven by a takes off and lands Helle Homemakers! filectTicity will /be playing an Increasingly lm- Iportant role in our homes in the near future. There will ibe improved lighting. Lighting will be chosen first, because it is adequate for good vision and, secondly, because it is decorative. This is in complete ( contrast to the days when the rose shaded lamp with the fringe cast only a small circle of poor light, but was considered very elegant. Electricity helps you work or re­ lax with ease if the light is adapted to your work. Bare bulbs, even in­ side frosted ones, are glaring and should not be used if they come within your* field of vision. A 200 watt light is placed four feet from your tedious work, whereas a 200 watt central lighting^ fixture is ample for general kitchen routine. One reason why homemakers pre­ fer white or ivory paint for their kitchens is that these colors do not absorb light. It is especially im­ portant to stress keeping the kit­ chen lighting fixtures clean as -they become greasy and dusty quickly.- Darkened bulbs should be discarded —they give poor light ana may burn out at an inopportune time. When you 'buy a supply of new ones, pur­ chase long-life -bulbs of the correct voltage, The local hydro man should be consulted about the kind to buy.

TAKE A TIP Lighting and lightening tasks are two different things. Each should be planned .and revised. Equipment is man-designed, but woman-used. The best way to decide whether your .kitchen is usable is to make a time-and motion study of the jobs you do. How can your kitchen be improved? 1, Work Space: Although the sink, refrigerator and electric range may be relocated for greater con­ venience in the approved plan the sink is the center with the range near the dining room door. There should be work surface on ope side of the range, on both sides of the sink and at the opening of the refrigerator, , If the counter is too wide then there will be difficulty reaching for overhead cupboards, Shallow­ er cupboards are accessible places to store things, while additional storage is provided under the counters. A cabinet under the ■ sing provides space for storing cleaning equipment and a hiding ■ place, for the garbage can. If there are not vents on this door, • you should put >a screen on it tos prevent dishcloths or mopcloths from going sour. Vegetable bins should have open grill at the front and a small space at the back for ventilation. t Sliding doors may be expen­ sive, but they are worth the money compared to the head- .’bumps of open doors in a small ■kitchen. Au overhead place next to the refrigerator should be re­ served for food storage. One side for cereals, crackers, canned goods, syrups, etc.; the other for cooking ingredients and spices, seasonings, etc. , And directly under this section available work­ ing surface which covers the baking utensils. 2. Improvements at the range: It is interesting to see the new fea­ tures pn the new electric ranges. These do a splendid job of bak­ ing, broiling, etc., and reduce time and strenuous work. To complete the cookery sec­ tion a metal utility shelf is need­ ed >at one side or directly above the range to hold seasoning utensils used while cooking.
