ANOTHER RACKET * j Several times in this column we! have recorded incidents when people] ■©f this district have been ■cheated by« salesmen who come into a town, make I clean-up and then pass on, leaving j the purchaser holding the bag. •) In many cases the public are sold] inferior quality articles at high prices j but when they discover that they | have been stung it is too fate to do ’ anything about it. . The latest racket is one we have j read about in the district papers. A ] .man goes about seeking appointments | to take photographs. He collects $1.25 j deposit but fails to return to carry ] .out the balance of the bargain. j -One could write a whole column or more of cases where the public] have been swindled during the past ' few years bur we mention this case- as it occurred just recently. In our to wn we have stores that ■ ■can supply our citizens with their re-; -quirements in a satisfactory business­ like manner.

Toronto, a Wing­ ham old boy. The last of this series appeared in cur issue of last week. We wish to take this opporiunity •of thanking Mr. Fisher for these very interesting letters. We also wish ro: •thank him on behalf off our readers. The -days gone by of a community; ‘ always hold great interest for those who continue to make their home in ■the locality and also for those who have made their homes in other places. Many have told us how they en­ joyed these talks of Old Times. The humorous 'manner with which Mr. Fisher writes made them ever more attractive. Thanks a. lot, Mr. Fisher, your -"Old * Time” epistles were greatly enjoyed. * * * HEPBURN IS RIGHT Premier Mitchell Hepburn has tak- «n a firm stand against the C.T.'O., which has gained such a foot-hold in the United States and is trying the same thing in Ontario. 'The General Motors strike at -Osh- awa yas t!« spark that ?us<hj the!BLINDING HEADACHES Premier to taxe this determined stand.j IThe organizers of the C.I.O. are de­ termined that no settlement of this dispute be made unless they gain re­ cognition of their organization. Pre- | mier Hepburn's stand is not one ag- !l ainst the employees oi General Mot­ ors but one against an organization that wants to control all Canadian and American industry. There is no doubt that our econ­ omic and labor troubles can be sat­ isfactorily adjusted by the sane ef­ forts of our Department of Labor] without the interference of this Am-j erican organisation. This is as it' should be. During the past few years there ha$ been n number of strikes in Ontario and the employees have had the as­ sistance of the Government in the set- tlemen of their difficulties and diff­ erences. This course as open to the! men who work for General Motors or any other firm and is the safe, rea- ‘ sonable manner of adjusting any diff­ erences. .

Yet garnishing is quite a trick, and color has its im­ portance, for food should be as en- chantsngly and becomingly garbed as the maples in their Fall costumes. If you are planning a party, sur­ prise your family and guests by serv­ ing them fish. Take two halibut steaks. Dip your steaks in finely sift-' ed bread crumbs, seasoned with salt and pepper and a little Worcester­ shire, and fry them in salad oil The oil cooking is splendid, for the fish: does not stick to the trying pan, does not burn or smell, and cooks and s browns to periecTivn. = For the sauce make a lighi-iextur-; ed cream sauce, using two table-1 spoons of butter and one tablespoon of flour to two cups of milk, or one and a half cups of milk and a half a cup of cream or evaporated milk, ’well seasoned with salt and pepper .-and paprika and about a teaspoon of ■ Worcestershire Sauce. If you wish to be particularly festive, .add a can of shrimps, cut them fine and add io the sauce. Cooking the whole tor half an hour, beating at while cooking . . with the egg beater occasionally. Gar- nishiugs can be added at will: grapes, slices of '■orange and lemon are ap­ petizing. Fish, if nicely prepared, is a dish any cook anay be proud to serve. It can be used an so many ways. Fish with fish, fish with fruit, fish with crisp salads, with mushrooms, with onions and peppers and sweet herbs.
