(By BENJAMIN B,EVERIDGE) Someone once wrote a book about the great romances in lit erary fiction and cited such re- lationships as that' between Mag- gie Tulliver and` Phillip ' Wakem in "The Mill on the Floss." An- other person collected the famous intrigues' of history and spent some time describing the activit- ies of Lord Nelson and that Ham- ilton woman. I,. have often` wish- ed that someone would make a list of` the culinary delicasies of literature. What delightful re- pasts the people in novels. have had in their time! 'fake for instance that wonder- ful tea party in "Remembrance of Things Past,"' Marcel Proust took over 20.0 pages to describe it. Then there was that Bizarre, luncheon of oysters that the wal- rus and the carpenter. had in "Alice in. Wonderland." And let us not forget the toddy that Ken- neth Roberts concocted of rum, honey and melted butter in "Nor- thwest Passage". The gourmet can -have a grand excursion to his liking in his priv- ate library. From the human flesh that Defoe permitted,. the cannibals to eat in "Robinson Crusoe" -to dried 'oogruk (Seal Meat) and. whale .steak which R. B. Robertson, at while gathering material for "Of Whales and Men". Boiled bear's feet were de- scribed to us by Mrs. Traill; T. E. Lawrence spoke of pickled goat's eyeballs and Edmund Gras- set tells in "A Doctor's Pilgram age" how the children of Canso were at least sustained. by salt f' as that, : Some people may pre er' fried oysters and sauerkraut, grapefruit and shrimps, and other combinations; but most of us are still susceptible to old fashioned preserves and apple pie, to York- shire pudding and sometimes smoked herring' for breakfast. And, °of course, we shall always like the things we never have at 'home because the ehlldren don't like them. Everyone to his 'own taste, how-. ever. And while Toronto and Mont- real continue to vie with each oth- er for kitchen supremacy I am quite prepared to recommend Nel= lie Lyle Pattison's "Canadian Cook Book" for brides who seek to unlock their spouses' hearts with famous recipes which have been handed dowM with the tam= ily heirlooms, and for old hands at. the cooking game who want to be brought up to date ori the devel- opment of a Canadian cuisine since the flow of New Canadians began after the war. • Like Pear's Encyclopedia and Dr. Chase's Almanack, Nellie Pat- tison's . cook book has been com- ing out for many .years. The 'Ry- erson Press publishes this 21st ed- ition with so many mouth -Water- ing color illustrations, and 31 years after' it first appeared, it has been revised and enlarged by Helen Wattle and Elinor Donald- son. I• was invited 'to a special din- ner of an explorersclub one time, and choice items on the menu were ant paste and fried termites. There was also wild boar stom- achs, alligator eggs, seal heart and octopus. There was even some roast beef. But not all food is so strange J. S.

She took over the firm herself and was eventually doing a million dollars '• worth of busin- ess annually.When she designed the steel oil barrel she had reach ed the pinnacle of her career, Nel- lie Bly died in New. York in 7922: Or perhaps it is better to say that Elizabeth Cochrane died. Nellie, Bly still lives on.• This is anniversary year for a very fine group of Canadian wo- nen. Somehow it is hard to be- ieve that the Canadian Women's Press Club is 50 years old! But the press girls have good reason to be proud of their long assoc- 'ation with journalism. It all started back in 1904 when the Canadian P,acific Railway ag •eed to set an historic precedent, and take Canadian women journ- alists to. St. LOWS on a tour pro- vided a dozen female newspaper writers (paid,' that is) could be produced. •Sixteen of them act- ually rallied for thetrip, and from that gala time across the border stems the , magnificent organiza- tion which. has so many enthus- iastic members in Canada today. Kathleen ("Kit"), Coleman, of the old Mail. and Empire;repres- ented Toronto as the first presi- dent of the C.W.P.C., but of that original chartep group only Ger- trude Balmer Watt, first of Wood- stock and later "of Edmonton, sur- vives. That was a small group of newswomen, and it was a group hardly . condoned by the male members of a hard profession. But no one thinks it odd today that every daily newspaper in Canada today has its women re- porters and editors. Fifty years is a long time in any kind of work, and not many of those who saw the Press Club through its first years are active today. But nam- es like Isabel' Ecclestone MacKay, Lucy M. Montgomery, Marshall Saunders, E. Cora Hind, Miriam Green Ellis, Nellie McClung, Mar- jory MacMurchy (Lady Willison), Judge Emily Murphy, Margaret• Aitkinr Judith Robinson, Kather- ine Hale and Byrne Hope Saund- ers are among those listed on the rolls of members and executive officers who through the years have fought and won so many crusades in the interest of a free sex and a free press. The literary fields of Stephen Foster and Jules Verne do not have a great deal in common, but in this little note 3 should like to link them together as a vehicle, for :a bit of information I picked up about the steel oil barrel, a commodity which just about rev- olutionized the transportation of petroleum products a half cent- ury ago. Stephen Foster wrote a spirit- ual in the 1880's which he called Nelly Bly," and this was the pen- name tha,t'Elizabeth Cochrane of Pennsylvania took when she went to work as a reporter on The Pit- tsburgh Dispatch. Jules Verne, a French wonder -story writer, had written a book called "Around the World in 80 Days. It was Nellie (she spelled it that way) who talked Joseph Pul- itzer into letting her try to beat Phileas Fogg's fictitious 80 -day. record, as a promotion stunt for The New 'York World. And this remarkable young woman—then only 22—set out in November, 1889, to circle the globe. In 72 days, six hours and 11 minutes later she had accomplished what She had set out to do. The world was at her feet, just as it was once at the feet of Gertrude Ed- erle and Amelia Earheart. A famous woman, Nellie tried her hand for a while in the fight for women's -rights, and then she married an aged manufacturer who left her a few years later 'CLOVER SEED WANTED We Are Paying TOP " MARKET PRICES —FOR -- ICED CLOVER — AND — ALFALFA SEED "SAVE THESE IMPORTANT CASH CROPS It Will Pay You to Contact Us Before Selling Jones MacNaughton Seeds Ltd.

This means having a good type of bird and rising good management methods, It also means feeding a' good ration because the cost of feed represents a large part of the costs of egg production, That is why many poultry operators- are swinging to SHUR-GAIN Super Laying Mash for their flocks this season.

Motor control has been lost. It; is much the same with the drinking driver. His hands are steady on the wheel. He thinks he is driving well, and perhaps needs to speed up a little.
