'PP .rE Victoria --Elizabeth 1.•••••••••••••• By .4 Eighteen years ago early one quiet April morning, the city of London, ?known as the hub of the world, was wakened by the sound of guns. It -was a salute to a new born Princess, :later christened Elizabeth. On April 21 of this year, 1944, this Princess legally became of age. When ,..sbe was born she was third in line to the throne of Great Britain, 'but the ab- dication of Edward VIII gave her father our beloved King George VI the place of the ruling Monarch, and consequently Princess Elizabeth is :mext in line. Almost since her infancy she has been in training for this vast Empire following after her Mother -the Queen :and Queen Mary. We wonder just what kind of life ,:a• young girl, so promineht 11,04 IP 'is believed that there are not many young girls of het age who would -want to'change pines with her. As she attained her majority, she 111011••• PEW' received her own residence, secre tary, lady-in-waiting and a persona staff. She has had a Scottish gover- ness and special tutors. She has studied music, painting, social econ- oiny and modern political science and all lines of knowledge which a future Queen would need. She has had very very wise parents and their subjects feel that everything has been done and will be done to give her the Education which will be re- quired for her high position. She will be taught to be tactful, a quality which is necessary in a sover- eign but which must very often be learned through painful experience. She has been raised with a sister Princess Margaret Rose. They- are very fond of one another anti the home life of the King and Queen and the two Princesses has been ideal. The Sovereigns of Britain are no Prime' Minister and members of Par- liament. Our most successful rulers are those who have been able to work agreeably with those in authority al- though they have first place. It would be very hard for many of us to uncbt stand the different subjects which Prince.ss Elizabeth is required to, study let alone try to acquire a knowledge of them. One outstanding thing about Prin- cess Elizabeth is her kindness to- wards others and yet when we con- sider her parents and theit true and genuine kindness exhibited when they were in Canada and during the trying times in their own land since the outbreak of the war the surprise would be if our Princess was any- thing else than kind. The Princesr has been brought 11P in what might be called a little vil- lage surrounding Buckingham Pal- ace. Here among the court officials and workers there were enough children to form a company of the Girl guides. These two- girls of the Royal Household were taught to take their place with the other children, and to pass their examinations as the ethers did. Princess Elizabeth is an expert in the water and on horse back and in the sports in which young girls engage. Queen Victoria and Queen Mary arc{ said to have learned a great 'deal from different tutors. Much of the kindly character and consideration of the two Princesses is supposed to have been taught them by their Mother who though the Queen of the British Commonwealth of Nations was not of Royal blood. Many beautiful stories are told of our Queen. Quite often the automobile of Londoners is stopped to allow the car of the Queen to pass. Almost invar- iably the Queen will bow and smile in recognition of the consideration shown her. We understand that all longer expected to be leaders., They these courtesies have been taught' to are supposed to work in with the her daughters when they were still .11.11011111••111M111 They're TALKING ABOUT . . a Ten -Cent Dollar!

COOKIN HEALTH quite young. Princess Elizabethisvery fond of the out doors. When ,volunteers were called upon to help in erchards and gardens, she got up two hours 'ear- lier in the morning to work on the estate in order that ,others might be released for various forms, of work. The Princess knew what it was to sit in an air raid shelter and listen to falling bombsand was quite ready to take up A. R. P. work when it was suggested to her. Both Princess Elizabeth and Prin- cess Margaret Rose feel it keenly that on..aceount of the heavier court duties imposed on the future Queen that their times of merriment to- gether will be ,to a certain extent curtailed: but we feel that like Queen Victoria, Princess Elizabeth will ac- . cept the responsibility placeci upon her and will likewise say " I will be good." The Canadian people are eagerly looking forward to the time when the Princess will make her promised visit to Canada. Princess Elizabeth is now the same age as was. her great -great grandmother when she ascended the same throne in 1837. One of the loyal Britieli subjects, who had made her home in England, in speaking of Queen Victoria, recently said "She was such a nice pudgy old lady." Queen Victoria did not know till she was 12 years of age that there was any possibility of her ascending the throne, She at that time exclaim- ed "I will be geed.", When she was confirmed she said "I am determined to be a true Christian." It is believed by her subjects that she tried to follow that out to the best of her ability. Like Princess Elizabeth the Bible had first place in her home. She had a firm faith in her Saviour and believed that she would some clay meet Christ and those who had gone befere. There is a picture called "The Se- cret of England's greatness" which represents , Queen Victoria, with many of the Royalty standing by handing the Bible to a colored (black) officer and saying "Tell the Prime that this is the secret of England's greatness" Our beloved Ring never loses an opportunity to express his faith in our risen Lord and we feel that it is that faith which will bring us victory in this terrible conflict which is being waged at the present THE MIXING BOWL By ANNE ALLAN * 0 Hydro Home Economist Spring is in the markets—the counters are beginning to 'take on a colorful appearance, and to present some items we haven't seen in a long time. Asparagus, for in.stance, is coining in every morning. It grows quickly and as the season is all too short we should make use of it while we can. One of ,the nice ways to serve as- paragus is with slices of ham. Cook the asparagus stalks standing them up in a saucepan or with the heads propped up out of the cooking water by inserting a small tin at one side of the kettle. Heat slices of boiled ham in a small' amount -Of tomatojuice, juice, using another saucepan. When you are ready to serve, lay the slice of ham on the platter and put a serving of asparagus on. it. Serve with a mock hollandaise sauce. There are still potatoes on the market this year. But let's not waste there. Keep thein in a cool dark place and prepare them in ways to prevent waste. A good rule is to 'serve baked potatoes three times a week. Take a Tip: 1. Check the price per pound or can or package of the food you 'wish to buy and consider nutritive value before you buy. 2. Store the imported vegetables carefully; they are accustomed to a moist cold: atmosphere. Clean and store them in your electric refrigera- tor in the crisping pan or covered pan.

Bishop at the funeral of .Queen Victoria said "In, her life as a QUeen she showed the world that even On, a royal throne character is the noblest of all human possessions." Princess Elizabeth has a high standard to live up to, but we feel confident that she will do credit to the wise and loving Ring and Queen who have guided her through the years.

Mrs. 5. 1VIc. asks: Why do some Pieces of home -corned beef become tough when boiled and other pieces do not. Answer: You never "boil" ham or corned beef. If the water is kept boiling the fibres of the meat be- come tough. Start the meat in boil- ing water and boil it for several minutes so the heat will penetrate to the centre of the meat, then turn down the element so the water does not bubble but keeps at a simmer- ing temperature.

Reduction Canada's butter ration will be re- duced temporarily next month, ac- cording to an announcement by W. Harold McPhillips, prices and: supply representative for Western Ontario. Coupon number 64, which would have become valid on June the first, will not now be valid until June the 8th. A corresponding reduction is being made in butter quotas to hotels, restaurants and other quota users catering to the transient publid. Indication t are that for the present at least, Canada has reached the peak in milk production, put demands on this production continue to rise. In order M meet these demands the Wartime Prices and Trade Board have been forced to allocate the sua- ply in the best way to meet the nutritional needs of the Canadian people. V Slaughtering The ruling of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board, that every person who slaughters cattle shall at the time and place of slaughter remove from the carcass the kidneys and fats, has been amended. W. Harold McPhillips, prices and supply repre- sentative, pointed out that any far- mer who slaughters cattle on his own premises for his own consump- tion only need not do so, although the ruling is still binding on every one else. Mr. McPhillips also issued a warn- ing to all those who slaughter for sale of any kind must have their permits to slaughter displayed. Many of late have been remiss in this. V Agreed on Starlings No matter what their politics near- ly everyone throughout the province seems to be agreed that some thing should be done about the starlings. —St. Thomas Times -journal.
