We may think oh, I can buy so much for myself with that money. That niay be true : but; we will not get near the pleasure out of it as if we gave it to the Lord. There is the first time when we may go and stay with some children while their parents go to church or to some good concert. That will give us a lasting pleasure as we watch those -boys and girls grow up and we can feel that ..we spent some time in their company. We will get much more joy out of it than if we sat at home reading a book. There is a first time when we took someone, who could not otherwise have gone, to a concert; and the time we spoke an encouraging word to someone who was in distress of some kind and the time we heard someone speak crossly and we added a word Fairly stiff beaten eggs are used in making omelets, souffles, cake frosting and meringues. In this case the whole mass is glossy yet stiff enough to slip from the bowl intact. The peaks are pointed and you should be able to out clearly through the whites. If; however you should be able to cut clearly through the whites and stiffer than this, they will be dry and look dull. Small flakes or lumps appear, which will spoil the texture of the mixture to which the egg white is added. Several things affect the way an egg white acts when you beat it. One is that eggs at room tempera- ture will beat more rapidly than those taken directly from the re- frigerator. Another is that the thicker the egg white, the longer it takes to beat it, but thefoam of kindness. does stand up better.

As temptation comes our way let us think not only ofwhat we are going to do at the particular time but what the result of the repetition of that first time is going to mean fol us.

I There was a first time when God's 'law' in regard to Sunday sports was broken and the' way the Sabbath is 'used now for such reasons is a posi- tive disgrace. The story is told of a young British soldier, who was con- ,verted in India. He was the Captain of the regimental football team. One Clay his team was scheduled to play an important game on Sunday. Fol- iotvittg his conversation he did not think that such things were accord- ing to God's command so he told them that as hewas a Christian he would not be able; to play. The scorn which was showered on hint was .a1- iertost "unbearable and he thought he would have to ,give in as he was needed on' the team. He went quietly to- his room and talked the matter 'rover with his Saviour. He pleaded with God to stand by him and a great peace came into his heart. He got up off his knees and started out to . tell 'his team that he could not play. Just' ;then he saw a dark cloud forming ' in the sky. It began to rain and at the time when the game was schedul- 'el to be .played there was such, a : dew :potir,'that it was found necessary ` to postpone the game until the fol- lowing Wednesday. He then was able to .play and • led his team to '"victot'y.

Then there is the first time that we have in earnest opened God's word, spread it out on the bed in front of us have prayed that God would guide us in the reading of it and reveal His message to us. Then and only then, when we have given our heart to Jesus Christ will we realize what the real job of life is, we may think we are happy in the things of the world but that happiness compared with the joy of the straight and narrow way cannot be in the least under- stood. There is the. first time when we hear the call of our Saviour "Come unto me." We do not need to go about making any preparations to come to Him. THE VICTORY With ` eager heart and will one :fire him that he had to Make a decision like that, but God, stood by him. There must be such a time in the life of every one when we haveto make a decision and stand on the side of Christ, How many of us are doing ; It?. One day recently I was itt such a f position that looking out of the win- dow mygaze rested on a brick wall. There was a noise outside which led me to believe that it was raining. A ' little later I was on the other side of the room where I could see beyond the brick wall and there I could see the glorious sunshine. So there is a l first time in our lives when we train ourselves to look beyond the darker! things of life into the glorious brightness, It at times takes an effort -to do it. We cannot always do it,in our own strength but with God's help we can at least ge as far as He wants tis to, There is the first time when we taste liquor which has been the means! of such terrible distress in this world; the first time when we have) gone to places of .questiouable� amusements where wecould not ask Christ to go with us; the first time when we have spoken a cross and. angry word to a dear one; something' which we will regret to the 'end of our days; the first time when we have taken something which did not' belong to us; and the first time when we have failed to be courteous to those about us, The story is .told of three boys running with their sleds I to a nearby hill. An elderly woman was trudging along carrying a heavy basket, The one boy said "That is the old woman who does our wash- ing. She is taking it home now,"' and be and one of the boys ran on, The other boy stopped, lifted his hat to the lady and asked her to put her basket on his sled. Then he walked along beside her to her humble -cot tage, received her thanks and ran back to the other boys.

You have probably. been using your egg beater more than usual during the last month or two. If so, you may have wondered sometimes just when egg whites were beaten enough.. One recipe will say, "add beaten egg whites" and another "beat eggs until firm and glossy but not dry.". There is no set stage at which egg whites are beaten enough. It is a. case ;of "it all depends." That is, you beat egg whites to different stages for different puiposes. For example, when making a meringue THE QUESTION BOX Mrs. W.

Producers, truckers, and processors ,have,been consulted as far as,pos- sible in'determining the zones all of which are expected 'to be laid out by the end of March, Every effort has been made to preserve the balance between operators .in the same field and to maintain a choice of outlets for producers in practically every zone.

Harold McPhillips, prices and supply repre- sentative for Western Ontario. This is necessitated because of the still critical supply position of gasoline, rubber and trucking equipment. Con- trol of private trucking has been reviewed by the Board in co-opera- tion with the Wartime Industries Control Board as part of the general policy of reconsidering all restric- tive orders. The gasoline supply 'situation was never critical, according to the War- time Industries Control Board The supply of ,new tires and trucks will not be more than sufficient, and the' normal demand for the replacement of trucks,far exceeds the supply of new vehicles. v ORTONA: Italy—.December, 1943 Ortona's gates are gates of steel!

In the half hour it took to get him to hospital he lost .a lot of blood. He received two transfusions and was operated on at Army Hos- pital. "I'm mighty grateful to the people who donated that blood," says Pte. Oke, from convalescent hospital at Westminster. "I know all the other fellows who got wounded will feel the same way. My wife is trying to repay that debt somewhat, because she has already given two donations of blood."

Snow scenes, for example; can dramatically tell the 51017 of the year's record storm. With little ef- fort, you can usually find grotesque or fascinating formations 01 snow in the trees, shrubs, and fences, or huge drifts which, shifting like sand dunes of the desert, show the force and, magnitude of the storm. If, during the day, good fortune favors you and the sun bursts forth with strength enough to melt the snow on the trees, you can snap pictures of the glistening crystals of ice and snow against a back- ground of blue sky. When taking such pictures, you will get greater contrast between the trees and sky if you use a medium yellow 81ter over the Iens of the camera. This will darken the sky and result in more dramat4c effects. It lsn't necessary, however, to waitfor a record-breaking storm to get an appealing \winter snapshot. The picture above illustrates that quite ,effectively. Hot yea should remember that a scene *eaut:Pill to the eye can be ruined If . fetproperly exposed. On cleaned or grey days; you will !save to give louger e.eposnres by opening the. lens to a larger aperture, re- ducing the shutter speed, or .per- haps both. For instance, let's assume that on the average summer day you would set your lens at 1/11 and the shut- ter at 1/25 of a second for picture under normal sunlight. On a clouded or gray day in the winter, you: would probably have to 'set the diaphragm opening at f/8 or, if the day were unusually dull, at 1/6.3. If, however, you preferred to get d little more depth of field—sharp- ness of both near and far objects in your 'snapshot -you could shoot at 1/11 and set your shutter speed at 1/10 of a second. When snapping a picture.at 1/10 ofa second you had better place your camera on a solid object for otherwise a slight movement of the camera may blur the picture ituage., No set rules can be made for shut- ter speed or diaphragm openings under all the conditions you may encounter.. snapshooter must use his own Judgment, gained by ex- perience, but you can rest assured of one thing: under normal winter lighting, with no snow on the ground to aid in reflecting light, you will have to give longer expo- sures to properly record your sub- ject. With plenty of sun and with snoW on the ground you should use a smaller' lens opening than you Would normally. John van Guilder
