Aitken Gave Very In­ structive Address Housewives from the neighboring towns, districts and Wingham, filled’ .the Town Hall to capacity on Friday afternoon when Mrs. H. M. Aitken, under the auspices of the Ladies’ Auxiliary to the Wingham General Hospital, conducted her well known “Cooking School”, sponsored by the manufacturers of Crown Brand Corn Syrup, Benson’s Corn Starch and Mazola. After being, introduced by Mayor Hanna, Mrs. Aitken, internationally famous dietitian and well-known radio personality, told some interest­ ing things about the products and the firms she represented. She stated, that every person -who works for Benson’s a long number of years is finally pensioned off at half pay — a generous gesture in this day of isms and labour problems, etc. Mrs. Aitken demonstrated the re­ cipes that were on the printed sheets distributed and gave many helpful hints and labour saving devices useful in both cooking and .home manage­ ment in general. Always oil the bowl in which the bread is put to rise, use Mazola, of course. Oil muffin and cake tins, us­ ing your fingers to spread it, sprinkle Mazola under and on top of a chick­ en to be roasted and cover with wax paper. 'A quarter cup of Benson’s corn starch substituted for same am­ ount of flour in a cake recipe will make the texture finer. Four table­ spoons of cocoa may be safely sub­ stituted in a recipe calling for one square of unsweetened chocolate. One tablespoon Crown Brand added to boiled icing or candy prevents it going to sugar. A half teaspoon of baking' powder is equal to one egg in rising quality,' a good suggestion when eggs are expensive. Oil the bottom and sides of a preserving ket­ tle to prevent fruit, etc., from stick­ ing and scorching. These are only a few of the helpful and practical ideas suggested and demonstrated by Mrs. Aitken. Over forty ladies were lucky prize, winners, Mrs. J. W. McKibbon, pres­ ident of the Hospital Auxiliary, draw­ ing the lucky numbers. Packages of Corn Starch, cans of Mazola, Lily White Syrup and Crown Brand, as well as the delicious baking, were giv­ en away. The oldest lady present, Mrs, John Bateson, aged 85, received a beautiful three-layer birthday cake, decorated with yellow cocoa.nut and a large mound of white icing on top sprinkled with silver candies; Mrs. M. Y. Farrow, of Collingwood, re­ ceived the silver plate donated at each cooking school; Mrs; Geo. Carr got the golden brown roasted chick­ en, and Mrs. FI. McKay one of. the Apple Hamburger roasts. ■ > A very happy afternoon1 of stories, smiles as well as cookery,,, xvas brought to a close with the ‘singing of “Auld Lang, Syne.” Here Friday, Oct. 28—Foot Spec­ ialist at Greer’s Sho'e Store.

A, Seager, Bishop of the Diocese of Huron, was present in St. Paul's Church' Thursday night to administer the Rite of Holy Con­ firmation to a class pf. candidates in­ structed and presented by the rector, Rev, E, O. Gallagher. Rev. R. M. Weekes, rector of Blyth, acted as Bishop’s Chaplain. The bishop in his address to the con­ gregation and class,, spoke of the “Sovereignty of God” in human life. He pointed out that'Our Lord’s esti­ mate of human nature apart from God is pessimistic; but upon the powers of man quickened by the grace of God He has unlimited reli­ ance. It is the one thing He does rely upon. “Fear not little flock, it is the Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom.” Christ was the only free man who lived. He is free of the slavery of the flesh, free of homage to the devil, free of the love of the will-of-the-wisp of this world. Christian liberty is not the right to do what you like, that is the right of the brute, it is rather the power of man to do what he ought. The ought of man is' the perfect will of God. When we are obedient we express t^he very liberty of God Him­ self “Whose service,” as our grand old Prayer Book puts it “is in per­ fect freedom.” During the offertory the choir sang the anthem “Seek Ye The Lord” with Mr. C. Templeman carrying the obligato. Radios—Three reconditioned Elec­ tric Console Models for sale cheap for cash. J. Mason & Son, Agents for Rogers and Victor Radios.

SOME BRIEF NOTES ON THE CANADA TEMPERANCE ACT No. 6 — The Ontario Government’s Appeal Dismissed Subsequent to the decision previ­ ously related of the Supreme Court of Canada, the Ontario government asked leave of the Privy Council to enter an. appeal from that decision. In doing so they sent to England a body of material contained in the Factum they had prepared for The Supreme Court of Canada dealing with the claim that the Canada Tem­ perance Act was ultra vires. The Su­ preme Court had decided that under the submission of the Dominion Gov­ ernment it could not deal with the question of the validity and this evi­ dence therefore fell to the ground. Recognizing that its tenor was cal­ culated to prejudice the mind of the English jurists, Mr. Rowell made ap­ plication to the Registrar of the Sup­ reme Court who ordered the return of the documents and the excision of this matter. Shortly afterward a legal action of very peculiar aspect occurred at Cooksville in Peel County. A Mr. Varley, who had purchased some li­ quor in Toronto, took it into the ho­ tel- at Cooksville and quite openly consumed it -in the rotunda. Two pol­ icemen! were conveniently present and promptly arrested him. He was charged tinder the Liquor Control Act with consuming liquor in a pub­ lic place. The Moderation League defended him, Mr. Greer, its presi- dent, conducting the case, while Mr. Sedgwick (then of the Attorney-Gen­ eral’s Department, and who had at­ tacked the Canada Temparancc Act in the Supreme Court hearing) con­ ducted the prosecution. The magis­ trate convicted Mr. Varley of a breach of the Liquor Control Act. The .Moderation League appealed from the decision to the County Judge. At the hearing, the same legal (Continued on Page Six)
