Here in Canada, of course, we
don't use corn meal in our cook-
ing to anything like the extent
they do "down South."

One of the reasons for its lack
Of popularity here is, 1 believe,
That we Canadian cooks just
don't know how to handle corn
:meal and turn out stuff that is
fiat and uninteresting. So here
are three recipes which I think
Will give your folks new ideas
Of how' good corn meal can be,

This Dog Read . .
His Master's Mind
Molly lvlia was an Alsatian
bitch. One evening in a jungle
hut h . Burma she was restless,
and shaking the bamboo floor,.
"For goodness' sake, lie down."
her master thought to himself.
The dog lay down immediately.
She led read his thoughts,
"I tried my first experiment.
I went on with my work, but -I
willed Molly Mia to come to .thy
side, and she got up and came."
So writes Colones J. H. Wil-
liams, author of "Elephant Bill."
in "Bandoola,"
He Was convinced of Molly
Ma's telephatic gifts after an
experiment in which he left her
behind at camp and walked four
miles away . on an irregular
route which twice crossed a
river.
He then sat down and concen-
trated hard on the dog. Within
half an hour she had found him.
Molly Mia had other virtues,
.too, She was intelligent enough
to tuck in her own mosquito net
at night, and not to go to sleep
until she had snapped up every
mosquito which was already in-
side: she was brave enough to
challenge a water snake en-
countered while swimming in a
river and deposit it dead at her
master's feet.
Her happiest role was that of
match -maker. Colonel Williams
was heading for a part of the
jungle where he could not take
his dog. He dcided to leave her
in the care of a girl he had met
named Susan.
He was amazed to find, how-
ever, that his faithful pet had
transferred her affections com-
pletely from him to Susan even
before he set out.
"Well,' I said to myself, as I
tarted off again, 'if she's got
Molly Mia when I return, the
only way I'll get her back will
be to marry the girl.' And so it
was."

Stumps can be tough. Every
farther knows there are times
when a stump can be more stub-
born than a mule and will, un-
der certain conditions, scorn the
best efforts of man, horse or
mechanical equipment. When
this happens it is time to con-
sider blasting under any con-
ditions one of the quickest and
cheapest ways of removing
stumps.
*
Actual procedure for stump
blasting should be determined
by the size and condition of the
stump and nature of the soil in
which it is anchored, says T. E.
Carson of the explosives divi-
sion of one of the leading menu-
facturers. Usually,' stumps can
be removed cleanly by blasting
alone but on occasion some pull-
ing will be required . for com-
plete removal,
* * *
While preparation of the stump
for blasting is not' difficult, it.
should be done with extreme
care, Mr. Carson warns. Loading
must suit the nature of the roots
and charges placed to break
their hold on the soil. A dia-
gonal hole should be punched
with a crowbar or drilled with a
soil auger until its bottom is a
fair distance below and just be-
yond the centre of the stump.
The explosives charge should be
loaded right to the bottom of
the hole, the cartridges being
tamped in with a wooden rod.
A broom handle is ideal:
* * *
Where a heavy charge is re-
quired, it will be necessary to
first "spring" the hole by firing ;
with it very small charge in or- '
der to provide a,. pocket of suf-
ficient size to accommodate the
larger charge.
* P q
For stump blasting Mr. Car-
son recommends the use of
stumping powder of 20 per cent
strength or 'Blastol" of 60 per
cent strength. If stumps are in I
dry ground cartrides should be t
slit and tamped well into the
bottoar, of the hole. In wet
ground stumping powder should
I
"Blastol" cartridges, on the other
not be slit but loaded intact. It
hand, being water-resistant, may
be split even when holes aref
wet reasonprovided chargesare
ably soon after loads g.
All holes should be filled right
to the collar with sand or earth
before firing.
"Plant breeders are doing ex-
cellent work in producing potato
varieties which are resistant to
various diseases and are less at -
1 tractive to certain insects," J.
W. Scannell, Assistant Chief,
Plant Protection Division, De -
told the partment of annual Agriculture,
of athe
Potato Association of America.
But he added, "While many
of these varieties appear to
show definite resistance to some
specific problem, they frequently
do not seem to stand up when
put into commercial production.
Also many of the new varieties
lack quality, In Canada, Green
Mountain is used as the standard
for quality and no new varieties
are introduced that do not equal
or better Green Mountain quali-
ty. ,
"Some horticulturists claim
that the reduced per capita con-
sumption of the potato is at
least partly due to the poor qua-
lity we now find on our mar-
kets. The tubers themselves are
usually very attractive but when
cooked they lack quality."
* ,, *
Mr. Scannell, staled the certi-
fied seed inspector was kept
busy trying to becomefully
acquainted with the ehnraeleris-
tics of these new varieties. When
he did learn something of a var-
iety which hag given promise, he
suddenly discovered it was no
longer being grown but had been
replaced with a new variety with
a new set of characteristics.
Thevariety which has cone
forward quicker than any other
introduced is Katandin. It has
led the -production field of certi-
3ieSi seed• in ,the United States
and Canada for many years, 'ac -

The licensing system in.Canada
tends to keep down the number
of varieties introduced each year,
but it is. Stili felt there are far
too many varieties on Our certi-
fication list. This year's list in-
cludes the names of 48 licensed
varieties, of which 36 were en-
tered for inspection,

After going round most of the

The elephant picked up the

Religious instruction should be-

love abounds the most continual
and effective training can be
given. Let the love of Christ
have free course in the hearts
of the parents and there are no
unsolvable problems. A natign
is no stronger than its homes.
The ideals that make for happy
homes are threatened today.
Not so many years ago any wo-
man who had diverted three
husbands and married a fourth
would be the object of shame,;;

This trend is. indicative of .low-

52 Canadian Ambassadors -o. f Goodwill
MIR CANADA STORY is being told abroad aS
perhaps no other living nation's story ever
has been told , .. told as only art, the universal
language, can tell it.
When The House of Seagram commissioned the
painting of 52 portraits of Canadian cities by
distinguished Canadian artists and then dia-
patched those paintings by air on a 30,000 -mile
international tour, it was with the earnest hope
that greatly increased understanding and goodwill
toward Canada would follow.
There was little doubt that these graphic glimpses
of the Canadian skyline and landscape would bring
to people of many lands a deeper interest in Canada
and a warmer feeling of friendliness for the
Canadian people.
Today the Seagram Collection is
barely half -way on its international
tour—and the actuality le daily out-
stripping the most optimistic of
advance estimates, Thtoughaut Loin

Caracas, Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo, Buenos Aires

is Page One news,.Not only at the time of the formal
previews for lenders of government, industry, the
professions and society, but throughout the seven -
to -ten day public showings in each city the
Canadian 'paintings and the cities they represent
are major topics of interest in the news pages, on
radio, and television, in everyday conversation.
