But you will recall that such repetition really drove home the knowledge which your teacher had in mind, and when you absorbed that knowledge it was in your mind for a lifetime. It is this principle bf repetition which nutritionists must employ to drive home the importance of vitamins to the human system in daily doses of three meals, and for just this reason our short talk this week is on the sub- ject of that staple food, milk. A few years from now we shall all probably be able to take a casual glance at a m e nu and know at once whether it is adequate in vitamin content for the family. Therefore, shall we review tnce again the high qualities of milk, and the necessity of paying attention to its constant use. ' 'Whole milk is our most perfect food, It is the foremost in what is ,known as the protective food group which help to guard our bodies against the dangers of food deficiencies. Can you grown-ups honestly say that you take a minimum of half a pint per day and that the children of the family get at least one pint? This is the time of year when cream soups taste especially good, and when milk puddings cooked to perfection in your electric oven add necessary vita- mins to complete a fine dinner, CREAMED VEGETABLE SOUPS Delicious cream soups may be made from leftover or freshly cooked vege- tables, suelt as peas, spinach, onions, cabbage or cauliflower. Press the vegetables through a sieve, and to each cupful of pulp add two cups milk. Heat to the boiling point, season to taste with salt and pepper, and thicken slightly with about one tablespoon of flour and milk mixed to a smooth paste. Simmer for two minutes, stir- ring constantly, A small piece of butter may be added just before serv- ing, Try also the addition of grated carrot or chopped parsley which .is not only good for health, but gives an at- tractive appearance to the soup. Have you tried Rice Pudding this way—Place 36 cup rice, 334 cups milk, ?ti cup sugar (or less) in double boiler and cook over low heat until tender—about one hour. Beat the yolk and white of one cgg separately; add some of the rice to the egg yolk; then return to the double boiler and stir until it thickens. Turn out into bowl and let cool, then fold in the beaten white, add vanilla and sprinkle top with nutmeg. * * SPANISH CREAM tbsp, plain gelatine, 3 cups milk, 3 eggs, 34 tsp. salt, 34 cup sugar (scant), 1 tsp. vanilla. Soak gelatine in 3 cup of cold milk. Beat egg yolks, and add the sugar, salt and gradually the remainder of the milk.

OPTICAL GLASS IS MADE IN CANADA Before the, war, most of the world's, optical glass was produced in Eng- land, Belgium, Czechb-Slovakia and. Germany. Today, the highly ground and polished glass used 'for teleseopes,, range finders and other high precision fire control instruments, is made in Canada. The pfocess for making optical glass is' an ,intricate one. It requires the melting of glass in clay pots. This process takes some time and then the glass must be left to cool. When a pot of glass is finally cooled, it' cracks irregularly into various shaped and sized pieces. These pieces form the first steps along the line towards telescope, periscope and other optical. pieces, The job of the optical instrument is an important one. Whether the battle is in the air, on the sea, or over the land, they are the gauge of >dis- tance and direction. Aver IT TN. TRUTH 8y 71-das No. 60 • ." HE TRIED TO LIMIT ME TO.

"SAYINGS" I was reading in the paper one day not so long ago about a fellow down in the States who used to be famous for his sayings. He would sit around listening to all the chit-chat in the grocery store or theblacksmith shop and then he would chip in one of his pieces of original wit. In time he grew to be so well-known for these` expressions that he. was hired by a newspaper outfit to write three or four each day. Reading them over I noticed one that sort of tickled my fancy. It went, "There's nobody as helpless as the owner of a sick gold- fish." We've got a fellow here in the town- ship that people say should be writing fol r the papers. He's a born wit and as droll looking as he sounds. His name is Ebenezer Tompkins, and his father a "retired sea captain took up land here a good many years ago. When old Cyrus died, Ebenezer came back from sailings on a merchant ship and took up farming. He has a bit of money and he doesn't go, in for a great deal of crop but he keeps the place in good order and I wouldn't be surprised if he manages to put by a neat bit each year.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Hambly: It is with pleasure that we, your neighbours and friends, meet tonight in your honour, to spend a social even- ing with you and your family. But it is tinged with regret when we realize that already you have moved into an- other community and the link of friendship is broken. In the life of our community, Church, Institute and, school you and your family have always given of your best and your eheerftil willing helpful- ness will be greatly mused, but we know you will make the same fine con- tribution in your new community as you have while living amongst us. You will make new friends, for as Edgar Guest says, • Life is sweet just because of the friends we have made, And the things which in 'common we share, We want to live on, not because of ourselves, But because of the people who care., It's living and doing for somebody else On this all life's splendour depends,' And the best in this life when yOu've summed it, all. up, Is 'found in the making of friends. But we would add: Make. new friends but keep the old; The new are silver—the old are gold. So that you may have a reminder of Our esteem and appreciation, we ask you to accept these gifts. May they brighten a corner in your new home, with them go kindest wishes for your success and 'happiness. Signed on behalf of your friends and neighbors, Mr ,and Mrs. Hambly and Weldon, expressed their deep appreciation of the gifts and kindness of their friends. • Mrs, Mapletoft Passes A life-long citizen of Fordwich, in the •person of Mrs, George Mapletoft, died at her home on Sunday following a lingering illness.

OF LOCAL INTEREST Striped worsted is a favorite fabric for this season's simple but useful walking dresses, the sort of thing that one puts on and wears all day, know- ing that the dress is neither too simple or too overdone and so will fit into almost any scene. Brown worsted with a blue stripe makes this model with the material on the bias for the square pocket border and for the front-tied belt. A dark brown leather leaf motif trims the belt' in front. PHIL OSIFER OF LAZY MEADOWS. By Harry J. Boyle (Continued from page one) our maple leaves at home. In fact one can almost imagine it is Canada until you look across the fields and see here and there the old fashioned Dutch windmills. And here and there along the roads too, you can see remnants of the German retreat. One of the first things I noticed on reaching this town was the Dutch wooden shoes. They're just like you see in pictures, but I al- ways thought they were merely a tra- dition now, but I should say about 20 or 25 per cent of the people still wear them. Little kids and groWn-ups too. I was a bit dubious about making my- self understood here' not knowing Dutch, but most people seem to 'under- stand a bit of English so it's. not so bad. Alid I'm learning a bit of Dutch too—slowly. The money here is just like at home only it's called guilders and cents instead of dollars and cents, but otherwise the very same. It's the English fellows who areohaving money oubles now, and not the Canadians. All the kids just cluster around you asking for candy, gum, "cigarettes fcir papa", souvenirs and whatnot. There were a couple of cute little blonde kid- dies this morning in their wooden shops. I guess one of, the little girls was about 7 and the other 5 or 6 years old,, and both pretty as a picture. So, Art and I got out our Dutch-English, book and talked to them best we Could. One of the little girls took off, one of her little wooden shoes and let me have a' real good look at it. The place we live here is quite com- fortable—no hot water just yet, but 'soon will be. We have nice 'beds with
