Imagination Helps A Whole Lot In Packing School Lunch -Boxes Packing school lunches five days .a week can become a monotonous chore; and, by the same token, eat- ing cold lunches five days a week tan become pretty monotonous, too. However, if a little extra thought and a dash of imagination go into the packing, the noon lunch hour may well be something to antici- pate. There will be no sighs on opening the lunch box -"The same old things" Sandwiches, of course, are the backbone of the school lunch; and, with the seemingly endless array .of fillings available, it is easily possible to have more than one different kind every day of the five. They can be made further intrigu- ing by using fancy cutters writes Ethel M. Eaton in the Christian Science Monitor, Children delight in surprises, and a nut -bread cat or a brown -bread pig will elicit squeals of pleasure. A stuffed crusted roll, too, is a wel- come change from the usual sliced - 'bread sandwich. The filling may be a tuna or salmon salad mixture or egg salad; finely chopped cooked haul and reartes VV11.02(204 MAKE TWO new weskits( One in wool for a winter -sports acces- sory, one in dressy rayon or sheer wool to team with your date -skirts.

A free pattern is print- ed in the book. green pepper moistened with salad dressing is good, too. For sweet' sandwiches -a school lunch should always include one -these fillings are tops with chil- dren: (1) Peanut butter, sprinkled with brown sugar; (2) Peanut but- ter, with raspberry jam; (3) ground prunes and chopped walnuts; (4) Apple butter with graham crackers; (5) Cream cheese and chopped rai- sins or dates. Don't overlook a variety of breads; nut bread, banana bread, orange -raisin bread, cherry bread, prune bread, and buttered muffins are sure to find high favor, even if ordinary fillings are used. Re- member too, that deviled eggs - carefully wrapped in waxed paper -are far more entrancing than the plain hard -cooked kind, Little cakes and pies always in- trigue the young fry. When bak- ing cake or pie, save out enough batter to make a tiny one for the lunch box. A small pie or round cake can go to school right in its tin and is easier to pack than a wedge-shaped piece which often gets mussy. Custard baked in a glass cup, with a dab of bright -colored jam in the center, is a tempting treat, especially if a gay plastic spoon is included rather than a silver one. A bit of candy, of course, never goes begging. It's a good idea to include two pieces of a different kind each day -avoiding chocolates - wrapping each piece separately in waxed paper. A hand- ful of seedless raisins, tied in a paper napkin with a bit of bright ribbon. A small lunch kit with a half- pint vacuum bottle is practically a necessity for substantial and at- tractive lunches. The bottle will hold hot foods and drinks as well as cold drinks. And the top may be used as a cup; but do include colored straws, too, In the case of cold drinks. If paper napkins are used, be sure they are the larger dinner size; otherwise little protection is afforded the child's clothing. To my mind, a large cloth napkin -a fresh one each day -is a far better choice. In fact one mother always tucks a 24 -inch folded square of fresh white wrapping paper on top of the lunch, to be used as a "table cloth" when the lunch is eaten on desk or table. When packing school lunches, it is desirable to keep in mind that a child's lunch should contain at least one-third of each day's food re- quirements. It should be adequate as to amount, and as tempting and delicious as possible to insure its being eaten and not discarded. With a little forethought and planning, it is always possible to have a wide variety of lunch-mak- inge on hand, A mother I know, who has to prepare not one lunch but three every school day, de- votes a closet shelf and a section of the refrigerator to the requisite foods and accessories. When shopping, she is always alert for "something different" to make her youngsters' lunches more tempting to the eye as well as to the appetite. One day she showed me some little red plastic sailboats with sticks of striped candy (paper - wrapped) for masts. "These will supply the candy quota for tomor- row, she explained.

Some of the waters flow south and are borne by the Casi- quiare into the Rio Negro and the Amazon, But the Orinoco, still ,a gentle stream with matted jungle banks, descends northwest, then due north until it meets the moon - tains of Maipure and Attires, Here the waters turn violent, crashing through the granite, roaring in ca- taract and rapid, leaping and spum- ing down the mountain until they spread upon the low, flat plain, the nano: sixty thousand square miles of it, the north -turned base of the' heart of Venezuela. The plains Indian of Venezuela is a nomad, without even the rudi- mentary agriculture of his forest cousin. In summer, the dry season, he spears fish, and hunts the roe- buck, the gazelle, the wild pig, the rabbit, the marauding puma. In his land, unlike the ever -drenched for- est, the seasons are divided; after the rainless summer comes winter in April: months of overwhelming downpour that flood the rivers and the streams until the plains are drowned ... Often it is impossible even to fish in the floods; and the plains Indian will have nothing to eat except an oleaginous clay which he has rolled into balls and stored in his hut, built of the moriche palm, The clay and the water keep him barely alive until the rains cease, and the land blossoms with thorny palms, the piritu, the palma de cubija, the coarse chaparro grass rising higher than his head, and the cactus. Often the land flowers with vast fields of white cypura and mimosa, lofty as palms, breasting t h e groves (c ailed montes) of sarrapia and cedar, When the Orinoco, rolling north, meets and absorbs the Apure that has descended from the west, it turns abruptly east, away from the Andes. It is 1100es a savannah of water, thirteen thousand feet wide in the dry season, thirty-five thou- sand feet wide in the wet winter when it has risen in some places as much as eighty feet. The Apure is the most famed of the myriad Venezuelan rivers falling from the Andes . , . When the Orinoco flows into the quiet of the plains, the Apure brings to it the western mountains: literally brings them in the trunks of uprooted trees, the floating islands that its current has torn free, and by communication carries this spirit of the mountain- eer, the Andino, to the open coun- try. The Orinoco rolls along, due east with many a swirl and twist that frequently devours fertile acres before the new channel is ploughed clear, past the black rocks of An- gostura. Finally, as it sprays into the thousand -mounted Delta, before its death in the Atlantic, again there is forest. - From "Birth of a World," by Waldo Frank.

If, after another six months, doctors are satisfied this new detection Me- thod is really satisfactory then it will be possible for anyone to have a routine check-up for cancer just as you can have X-rays for tuber- culosis. If this should be possible the greatest threat will be removed from cancer as cancer is admittedly curable in most cases if treated in its early stages.

Exodus 35, 5a. The erection of a tabernacle in the wilderness was a task of no mean proportion. First we would note that God gave the plan. He said to Moses, "took that thou make them after their pattern which was shown thee in the mount." Exodus 25:40. Of course ratan alone could not have designed such a system) of worship that would have so marvellously pre- figured the coming of Christ and the various aspects of His ministry. To have a building committee that works with ',complete harmony in respect to every detail is not too common. Someone is likely to have a, preference on which he insists to the point of stubbornness. The minister will need to be wise and tactful if he cal: keep the waters calm on such an occasion, The people of Israel entered up- on the task with great enthusiasm. The women gave their jewelry and even presented their looking glasses for the brass laver. Men and wom- en labored faithfully, There was no assessment, no compulsion, The call was for "whosoever is of a willing heart." "God loveth the cheerful giver." They gave m such abundance that they finally had to be restrained. Such problems do not occur too frequently today. However there are many good people like the Ivtaeedonians who have first given themselves to the Lord and are willing to give according to their power, yea and obey their power.

Get More Because They Produce More Considerable interest 'has been aroused is the recent agitation in certain quarters for equalization of Canadian and United States wage rates. To those who jump at con- clusions, there is some plausibility in the theory that a man doing a certain job in one country should receibe the saute pay as a man do- ing a similar job in another country. However, it requires very little thought and very little argument to demonstrate that this is a com- plete fallacy. As one of our corres- pondents points out, "the per capita output of Canadians is only about 3 of that of the LI.S. Obviously, therefore, there is less per capita production here to share and that is what wealth is -goods and services, not money." The simple truth is that in the United States the people manage to produce more of the good things of life per head of population than we produce. Mr, Gilbert E; Jackson, recently made the` point that basically the "vastness of the market in the U.S. compared with the small size of our own market is mainly 'respotr- sible for the difference in their production per man -power compar- ed with our own," AbWf'i ASD PAINS Of NERE's QUICK COMPORrir And the RELIEF IS LASTING There's one thing for the headache the muscular aches and pains that often accompany a cold . .

Nearly all animals play. It's one of the most tonic truths we find out about this. green garden of our earth, when we get to looking intimately into the lives around us. Bears love to go sliding and tumbling downhill. Deer play what 511101.1111 to games of tag.

J I go to the brook, more times than not, actually for the same reason that impels all of us to go to such places. 1 go there because the small boy or girl who lives inside of all of us -the primitive Original the inveterate Adamite idler and wonderer -loves nothing better than to sit beside a brook pap1 and stare into it and contem- plate fish. -From "This Fascinating Animal \','orld" by Alan Devoe, UNDAY SCIOOL LESSON The People at Worship Exodus 29:43-46; 35:21-29 Memory Selection: Take ye from among you an offering unto the Lord whosoever is of a willing heart, let him bring it, an offering of the Lord. Exodus 35, 5a. The erection of a tabernacle in the wilderness was a task of no mean proportion. First we would note that God gave the plan. He said to Moses, "took that thou make them after their pattern which was shown thee in the mount." Exodus 25:40. Of course ratan alone could not have designed such a system) of worship that would have so marvellously pre- figured the coming of Christ and the various aspects of His ministry. To have a building committee that works with ',complete harmony in respect to every detail is not too common. Someone is likely to have a, preference on which he insists to the point of stubbornness. The minister will need to be wise and tactful if he cal: keep the waters calm on such an occasion, The people of Israel entered up- on the task with great enthusiasm. The women gave their jewelry and even presented their looking glasses for the brass laver. Men and wom- en labored faithfully, There was no assessment, no compulsion, The call was for "whosoever is of a willing heart." "God loveth the cheerful giver." They gave m such abundance that they finally had to be restrained. Such problems do not occur too frequently today. However there are many good people like the Ivtaeedonians who have first given themselves to the Lord and are willing to give according to their power, yea and obey their power. II Corinthians 8: 3-5. God has His saints today. Get More Because They Produce More Considerable interest 'has been aroused is the recent agitation in certain quarters for equalization of Canadian and United States wage rates. To those who jump at con- clusions, there is some plausibility in the theory that a man doing a certain job in one country should receibe the saute pay as a man do- ing a similar job in another country. However, it requires very little thought and very little argument to demonstrate that this is a com- plete fallacy. As one of our corres- pondents points out, "the per capita output of Canadians is only about 3 of that of the LI.S. Obviously, therefore, there is less per capita production here to share and that is what wealth is -goods and services, not money." The simple truth is that in the United States the people manage to produce more of the good things of life per head of population than we produce. Mr, Gilbert E; Jackson, recently made the` point that basically the "vastness of the market in the U.S. compared with the small size of our own market is mainly 'respotr- sible for the difference in their production per man -power compar- ed with our own," AbWf'i ASD PAINS Of NERE's QUICK COMPORrir And the RELIEF IS LASTING There's one thing for the headache the muscular aches and pains that often accompany a cold . .
