What a' wonderful •thought it is for us to know that our. Heavenly Father is ever present with us and that we are free to come to troubles, There ere times when our prayers are not answered as we desire, but if in presenting our petition we ask God to an- swer according to His will we have the great satisfaction . of knowing that whatever the an- swer is the result . will be the best for us. A little girl was once very anxious to have a doll of a certain style. Her mother, who was teaching her daughter about taking everything to God in prayer, seized the opportunity of telling the child to speak to God about it. That night Mary in her usual prayer told God about the doll. ,Then she climb- ed into bed, but in a few minutes hurriedly got up and knelt be- side the bed, and said, "Dear Jesus, don't send it on Monday. I am going to a picnic." That may seem very foolish to us but it is not any more,so than some of the petitions we ask God to listen to. We are very much like children. We want our petitions granted but just in our own way. If God were to give ug what we want in our own way it would be a very bad thing for us. Will we not be happy to present our request and then leave it to our Heavenly Father to answer in His own good way, We would not think of asking an Earthly friend for all the things we request from our Heavenly Father. We find pray- er very much easier when we consider prayer just simply carrying on a conversation with God. After all that is all it is. There is one vast difference, we very often . spend time asking rood for many things which we would not bother an earthly friend about. Another thing is that we would be polite enough to thank a friend and we very well know that we receive many things from our Saviour end we fail to return thanks for them. When we have finished our prayer ' some night or morning let us just think over what we have saidand see how often we have. thanked Him for all His kindness to us. Many of us as little children were taught the Presbyterian Shorter Catechism, In that we will recall the answer to prayer is "Prayer is an offering up of our desires unto God, for things agreeable to His will, in the name of Christ, with 'confessions. of our sins, and thankful asknow- ledgeinent of His mercies." No prayer should ascend to the throne of God without asking that our request should be granted according to His will. God's de- lays ere not denials and we should never consider them as such, Some years ago we used to. sing a very beautiful hymn "Un- answered," One verse explains this thought very helpfully: "Unanswered yet, nay do not say ungranted, Perhaps your part is not yet wholly done, The work began when first your prayer was uttered, And God will finish what He has begun, If you keepthe incense burn- ing there, His glory you shell see, some time, •some where." It may be we are not doing our part at all. In, fact, perhaps, we expect God to do His part as well as ours, failing to realize that we must be co-workers with Him. God can do all we ask Him to, but it would take a great part of the joy of the eccomp- lielted task Wei if we did not have a chore in it, Sortie tinier we think things are too small to pray about. There is nothing too small to bring to God in prayer. If we are true Christians we will be surprised at the little things which we take to God in prayer, and furthermore we expect an answer. Did you ever lose any- thing and after careful search - Mg, have asked God's help in finding it. We have found that it was not too trivial for Him to be interested in.

Recent expansion in mills of the Masonite Company of Canada at Gatineau, P.Q., has doubled output of Masonite Presdwood, re- lieving a long-standing shortage of one im- portant building material. Presdwood is made by exploding wood, then welding the fibres and their natural binding agent into a solid all -wood panel under heat and pressure. The resultant board has no "grain" and is equally strong in all directions. It can be bent, nailed or sawn without splitting, chipping or cracking and its large panels cut cost and time in sheathing large areas. At LEFT is the solid steel "gun" in which wood chips are exploded under hundreds of pounds of steam pressure. TOP RIGHT shows workers at the Gatineau mill rolling finished Presdwood from the presses and LOWER RIGHT illustrates use of the large panels in construction of low-cost homes. Cur- rent production of Masonite at Gatineau Is sufficient to meet Canadian and export market requirements, live our day we will find many instances of where God has an- swered petitions which we thought were too trivial to bring to Hien. Do not let our prayers ever become a routine. If we do we will lose interest In them, our line of communication will be- come interrupted, thoughts will stray in and we will lose the true personal contact with our Sav- iour. If we were to tack to our friends the way we talk to God they would not be long in think- ing that we were becoming very absentminded. We should constantly consider that prayer is V privilege. Each day we should begin and end with prayer to God. Prayer should be considered a wonder- ful power in our lives and until we have that feeling we can never be as close to God as we should be. "In thy weakness, in thy peril, Raise to Heaven a trustful call, Strength and calm for every crisis, , Come -in telling Jesus all."

DOMESTIC CONSUMPTION of Electrical Energy -- MUST BE REDUCED Do you know that on Sunday last, November 21, when there were no heavy industrial loads, the Town of Clinton was about 700 kilowatt hours Over Its Quota? That means only one thing - HOME USE OF HYDRO MUST BE CUT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. The local Commission now exercises some control over cut-offs. However, if Clinton continues to exceed its quota, the situation may be beyond our control and the switches will be pulled arbitrarily. Until further notice, compulsory cut-offs are as follows: I2.00 to 1 p.m. 6.0o to 8.00 p.m. Monday through Friday Clinton Public Utilities Commission Hello Homemakers! "Never underestimate the power of . a woman." According to the num- erous letters we have received you have put conservation of el- ectricity into practice. There are many ways to reduce the amount of electricity used in the home; this is especially true in prepar- ing meals. Hydro has been right- ly valued by you as a greet con- venience in lighting, heating, cooking and washing and conse- qsently you have eliminated any non-essential use of it as request- ed in. view of the emergency. There are, however, a few nei- ghbors who have not realized the need to save electricity in order that industrial and agricultural concerns may be served with power to do their jobs, Many, many operations are effected only' by electric power, • More elect-' ricity must be saved to produce food, clothing and shelter for our people. Let us consider every small saving. 1. Use a flashlight going thro- ugh a hall with a high ceiling fixture. in which there is a high wattage lamp. When exploring clothes closet, attic or basement take the flashlight. You can save electricity on these infrequent, short, trips. 2. Candles for' the dinner table are now a necessity in order to save electricity. 3, Soak clothes in water to which you have added a detergent which softens the water and soaks out the dirt -then you need op- erate the washing machine for a much shorter period. 4. Shake the clothes before you hang them on the line and peg them to let the breeze dry them as quickly and as evenly as poss- ible. 5. A card table neer the clothes line will save you much time and much ironing. Fold everthing as you remove the linen and gar- ments from the line, spreading them smooth with the palms of your hands. Towels, pillow slips, sheets and underwear may be petted into shape ready to put away without ironing, 6. Plan to begin ironing with rayon fabrics while the iron is heating and set aside small sheer pieces to finish ironing after the iron is turned to "off" and is cool- ing. 7. If you have been ironing in a dark corner with a light on, here- to -fore, unhinge cupboard type of board and place it between two straight back chairs near a win- dow. 8. Save time and electricity by planning meals ahead. 9. Keep a well -stocked emer- gency shelf. Make use of com- mercially prepared mixtures and individual baking dishes. 10. Prepare foods that the chil- dren can eat with you -then there will be loss cooking -therefore lest consumption of electricity.. For instance, applesauce instead of apple pie. 11 Boil only the amount of water required for tea. The use of a dipper or quart measure in filling the tea kettle is as int portant todayaas the teaspoon to measure the tea. 12: If you only require two cups of water for tea or cocoa, heat it on the same closed element as you have cooked the potatoes using the electricity stored in the element. 13. Stored heat in the oven can be used to advantage. After you have baked an oven meal and the Al1014"1"1061%.1.011011011~~. 111.11101b".004110104011.11.‘ heat is turned off, custardmix- tures, apples and tapioca can be cooked for the next meal's dess- ert. • OVEN MEALS ,(1) Squash stuffed with Sausage Meat Oven cooked carrots Bread -Raisin Pudding (2)Sliced Heart with Onion Rings Scalloped Potatoes Turnips, julienne Baked apples Rice pudding from stored heat (3) Fish Loaf Tomato -rice casserole Baked potatoes Gingerbread in Muffin tins Creamy sauce from stored heat (4) Baked Short Ribs of Beef • Tea Biscuits Banana Pudding :. & . * Anne Allan invites you to write to her % CLINTON NEWS -RE- CORD.
