Boyle I met Mrs. Jim Brown on the street yesterday. She writes for the local Paper. and does a bit for the .city papers and is considered a smart hand when it comes to getting ideas down on paper. She looked worried and I wondered what was bothering her. She told me that the Mill boy . Ernest . . . had been killed overseas in action . . . flying a, plane of the R.C.A.F. She was worked tip about the whole thing, being a close friend of the boy's mother and she wanted to write an article on him. She wanted to give a true picture of the lad. That has been on my mind ever. since.. I've tbeen . wondering how you could give a picture of a boy such as Ernie Miller, First of all you would OBTAIN THEM AT Yoir,:.

Never a day ,dawns but we have unexpected duties 10 perform, or contributions to make towards patriotic work — which do require time. Business women, war workers and busy homemakers should, first of all, make contributions toward their specific job-of serving adequate ,meals in order that time, •electricity ;and expense are saved. It saves a lot of worry, too, if a few plans and prep- arations are previously accomplished. Many of us know what can 'be done but forget about them until the last minute. With this in mind we list a few suggestions: 1. Boil a piece of beef shank while you are having dinner one night to have ready to put rice or pot barley into it the f011owing evening for soup. 2. Stews may •be made the night before and reheated for serving, In fact, many people think they are bet- ter on the second day than on the firts. This also applies to Boston baked beans. 3. Make white sauce, a quart at a time, and store in the refrigerator. You will use it often for sauces, .for vegetable or fish; as a basis for cream soups or scalloped dishes. 4. Dry bread in an oven after heat :has be turned off, Prepare a sup- LAST-MINUTE TIPS ON KAT-AVING O L • Rolla rug against the door particularly bedroom doors.

MARY MORTON I suppose we housewives are all alike these days—trying to save as much fat as possible for the govern- ment, and also saving butter coupons by using it in our cooking and baking. Of course if you do deep fat frying, you can strain the fat after using and still give a goodly portion to our gov- ernment, On the other hand, drippings of various kinds may be used to make cookies, cakes and pastry.

The grandfather of Ernest was one of nine , . , a raw-hide muscled youth who learned the lore of the bush and. the love of the virgin 'earth turning over under the gOidance of an oxen- drawn plow. He was short on school but long on the knowledge of how to flush out a partridge or trap a cun- ning eyed lox, He worked his farm and cleared it -and made money where men were cutting down big trees in the lumber-woods to kindle the indus- trial tabernacles. He married a neigh- bor girl . . whose heritage of flam- ing hair reflected the warmth of an Irish heart and whose eyes Mirrored . the flashing spirit of the French-. Canadien. His father went to war because duty called returning with a bride from the melting- pot of Central Europe. She gave him the benefit of age-old wis- doms ... but the fathers task in fight- ing for peace had been maltreated. While the father caught up in a changing agriculture wondered with dull eyes why suffering and death had to be inflicted on the world again, young Ernest heard the call .to -duty, He linked this with the love of ad- venture which stirred naturally within him, He fought to win without counting the costs . . and while he did the black-bearded Joshua nodded in that special section of Paradise reserved for men without fear . , to his own son in the executive section of the pioneers as if to say, "We bred men, my son." But Ernest flying .out to battle did not know this. He called on his reserves. He needed the fore- sight of a man who. left a settled country for a wild one. He needed the keenness of a man reared close to the 'heart of nature .as Iris own grand- father had been, .He had his father's sense of duty and within his veins coursed the blood- that was tempered by the wisdom of the kind women who had handed down to him many of the precious and intangible qualities. He died but his living and dying will always remain as a testimonial and at the same time a direction for those who carry on to make the new world. CONSERVATION CLIPS Oven Dinner Save on fuel by cooking your whole dinner in the oven at the same time. Meat loaf, baked potatoes, beets -en casserole, apple trisp. , there it is. Try any combination but make sure that all the pans you need will Sit into the oven at the same time with room to spare so the hot air can circu- late Eleven in a Dozen? Ever think how much egg white you throw away? About one egg in every dozen goes in the garbage tin along with. the .shells, in many house- holds. If you use a dozen eggs every week that amounts to over a dollar every year. Next time you break an egg, scrape out the inside carefully with a spoon . , . gather up every drop , . it's more egg than people in Greece have seen for a long time. Life-Boat Drill Mother Nature provided her prec- ious minerals and vitamins with life boats long -before we ever thought of them, Peeling vegetables, ,..:except when necessary is sabotaging nature and drowning those important 'sailors' in tire vegetable water. WOMEN OF BRITAIN PLAY THEIR PART Living In The Old, Country Changed By Rationed Foods, Rationed Clotho Winston Churchill expressed the determination of the .

Since the war, the Old Coun- try has become a nation of queues; people queue up for foodstuffs, for the. first. comerohas the best choice, queues for ,cinemas, and even queues for church sometimes, The problem of trying to serve nourishing and appetising food re- quires thought and ingenuity. Includ- ed among the foods rationed are meat, butter, sugar, cooking fats, loteori ham, cheese, eggs, chocolate, candy, biscuits, canned meat and fish, dried fruits, canned fruits, condensed) milk, soups, rice, tapioca. Milk is, not ra- tioned, bunt is given a priority distri- bution to children, invalids, and to ex- pectant and nursing mothers. Clothing rations are equally severe. From Her 'Majesty, Queen Elizabeth down, the British people are wearing made-ovens, When clothing rationing was first introduced, the allOWance was set at 66 points a year. This was later reduced to 51 points, and now is set at 48 points a year. A man's suit and pair of shoes would use up more than two-thirds of a whole year's points. Obviously civilians 'are going shabby, but there's a certain pride in, doing without—for Victory. The clothing restrictions are relaxed some- what for babies, When a prospective mother presents a doctor's certificate she is allowed 60 clothes coupons for a layette. Canadians this winter have been asked for the past two years to make a gteat effort to cut down at least 50 per cent. According to their pre- war consumption by at Canadian standards,' British houses were never warm. , But tide knowledge that ,au- thorities have taken every care to en- sure the 'fairest possible distribution of available supplies results in a mini- mum of grumbling. No house, no matter how large, is allowed to heat more than seven rooms. All British women from the ages. of 18 to -45 have been registered for work of national importance under the Reg- istration for Employment order. Some 7,000,000 women are working either part of whole time in vital industry. Children of -working mothers are either looked after by voluntary help- ers, or in factory nurseries.

After all, without a pinch of imagin. ation and a desire to try something new or different once in a while, meals are apt to become pretty monotonous.
