Thanks Be Unto God By As we look back ever our lives ant• he lives of others' we realize that there are two kinds of thanks. 1. Lip thanks. 2. Heart thanks. 'Up, thanks is. much more common than heart thanks. It may be that :some one will spend of great deal of time in trying to do something for US which we will particularly want and we will take it for granted that they should do it. We will be polite enough to say "Thank you", but it :is merely Hp thanks. It niay be the fault of our home training. Perhaps we have just been trained to accept everything whieh is done for us thinking that the one who has done it dxnected that it was his or. her • duty to do it. We can imagine the prodigal son going to his father and demanding bis share of the fathers goods, simply saying thank you and ' then starting off to squander his substance on riotious livipg. He knew that it was his right to demand his portion of goods and he would get it. It is the same way in our homes of the present - day. Many a Mother works very hard that she may have a happy home for her family and • the father may do the same. In many eases what thanks do they get for it? .Mother will get up three-quar- ters of an hour or an hour before her family in order that she may have `a good breakfast for them and see that they'are'up in time to get away to work. The family will cone down one after another and storm about and scold because this or that is not ' right. They will speak to the Mother ° who would give her life for them in a way that is a down- right disgrace to; thein and will go out and bang the door. Perhaps if ..they had to come back for something they would find that Mother sitting with her head in her hands and the -tears streaming down her face. There is not one of us who would not give many years of our life if we ' could recall: words spoken to 'air dear ones, If theyare still with us we can :nage it up toa certain extent, but if they have goaie on all we have is Our . thought of remorse. People say the young:folke of to- day are not what they were like in 'PEG" same respect for their parents, they think their mother and father are fogies. Of course that may be true of some young people but it is not true of them all. Thin are children to -clay who are just as Ioyal to their ,parents as the children were to the pioneer parents of 'our land, and if they are not whose fault is it? Again we must . say it is the home training. Can parents continue to quarrel in their homes and have their children respect them? Can' Mother make it a practise to be away from home night after night and never be homewhen the children comein front school, often with their tale of woe, of success of happiness and no moth- er there to talk- it over with them; and feel that they have a -friend in Mother? Can boys want their fathers to share their hobbies with them and be roughly rebuffed and feel that they have very 'much re- spect for one who should be willing to share, their interests with them. There can indeed benoo-love lost be- tween parents and children in such homes, but there are many instan- ces where father and son and mother tnd daughter are real pals. They go. out together they tails over the do- ings of the day and many a daughter in planning her holidays always in- cludes her Mother. A daughter may go ont to work dayafter day, but while she is away working her moth er is keeping the house tidy and is preparing for the evening meal so that the family .may be happy when they gather around the table to ask God's blessing on their food and on their hoine life. Some night when we retire let us just try to comm the blessings that we have received during the clay in our own, hone. A little girl one night said to her father, "Father, I am going to count the stars. "Very well" he said. Finally she said two hundred and twenty-three, two 'hundred and twenty-four." Oh dear I had no idea there were so many, so it is in our home life we could go on counting ourblessings indefinitely. Let us just try it and then be thankful to God for giving us such a hone. We must always remember that we are part of the home. If we are t CAR 0F' CHILDREN to make others happy, but ifwe aro cross and cranky we may feel that we have done that much to make things upset and unhappy. In'- our homes we . can have lip thanks as well as heart thanks,' but how •much better it is for u5 to exer- cise the privilege of heart thanks. Lip thanks at the best is superfulous' Mark 7:G says. This people honor me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. "How true that is of many ,of us to -day. - Does it ever occur to us that we ask for .a great deal more than we return thanks for. How much hap- pier we would be in ourselves if we would only ponderthis question of thanks. Truly God has given us so much. We continually pray for more yet we fail to thank Him for what Ile has already given us. What a selfish crowd of people we are! We can return thanks to God in the quiet if our own rooms. When we kneel down with no one else but God and ourselves, and how close we are to Him at those times. There are many people, even followers of Christ, who feel that they cannot pray in public. Praying is really talking to God but if we feel we cannot pray before others we can pray in the privacy of our own room. Many a boy or girl, man or woman has been brought back to God by a [praying Mother or Father who never uttered a public prayer in their lives. Then too we can return thanks to God by reading His •word, and fol- lowing the promises which He has made for us there. When we under- stand His word then we can go out among •others in our own home or in our district and we can teach the' joy of His word so that others may enjoy it too.The word joy should mean ,to us -Jesus -Others -Your- self. i "I contemplate with wonder The love God bath for me. ' And know the same affection Is lavished upon thee. May every need arising, Or cherished hope deferred. Serve only to direct us, For comfort, to His word: - To hear Thy voice Lord Jesus, TShepherd of my' 'o Thou S he py s ul, Directing every footstep Unto the promised goal. Then with Thee in the glory, The path of trial o'er, To share Thy joys in fullness, And pleasures evermore. v "PEG„ 4, By ANNE ALLAN Al . Hydro Homo Economl.t - Hello liomemalcers!

W. rays: bs it true that yoil should spminlcle sliced encum- bers' with salt and allow ' them to stand some time before serving? Answer: There is no evidence that salt makes cucumbers easier to di- gest, Salt would draw water from the cells and snake the cucumber limp and unappetizing. This . water contains valuable- minerals.. and and vitamins whioh, would be Post Crispness would be lost too, Mrs. E. C. says: Mould formed on some extra fruit juice I :had in eov ered bottle in the refrigerator. Could I use it?. Answer: Such mould .is not in- jurious to health, but may change the flavour. Usually the 'mould can be skimrffed off and the syrup, boiled, will, be alright. To help avoid it, pour hot syrup into a sterile jar, cover at once, and place' in the re- frigerator as •soon as cool. Iif syrup is considerably lower than the es- tablished ceiling price for potatoes during the summer months. In every city in. Western Ontario, except in Owen Sound, the maximum selling (price to the consumer is 99 cents a peck. 0 -wen - Sound the ceiling price] is 50 cents a peck. The retail price of potatoes per bag is $2.15 to $2.19 ac- cording to the location. v Reduction in The Rental Cost of Farm. Equipment Recent enquiries about the reduc- tion in the cost of imported farm equipment generally and of tractors in particular have caused the reg- ional officials of the Wartime: Pri- ces and Trade Board to warn far- mers against expecting too great a decrease in the retail price. When the 1944 bndgelt was put before the House, the Government removed the Customs Duty and or the War Ex- change Tax on imported agricultural equipmtnt and repair parts on the basis that the benefits of the remov- al of such tax or duty would be pas- sed on to the consumer. Farm Mae tors, except for, industrial uses, are duty 'free. Therefore( any reduction in the cost s to the( consumer results from the removal of the War Ex- change Tax only. The officials o£ the Prices Board I poizit out further, that the actual reduction in tht retail cost of im- ported farm machinery is computed only on the: laid -down value of the machinery to the importer, not on the selling price to the consumer. This laid -down value does not include the parts of Canadian origin neces- sary to make the tractor a Complete unit, as for example, lights or tires, nor does it include transportation and selling costs. In other words, the reduction is not computed on the total selling price of the tractor or any other piece ofimported equip- ment, but only on that portion of it which is actually imported from a foreign market. • Ceiling Prices on Domestic Grapes Ceiling prices have been set on all home grown grapes, according to W. Harold McPhillips, prices and supplr representative . for - Western Ontario. The price for blue and white grapes, sold direct from, the grower to the consumer is .55c for a six quart bas- ket, either flat or open pal. The is kept for an extended period, re- heat it 'occasionally and always • keep in airtight container. Mrs, G. 3. M. has a suggestion for R. B.: To make red Chili Sauce: Peel and core tomatoes, put in pan, mash with wooden potato- :nasher,cut ups onions, bring toma- toes and two onions to a boil, then take off lid . of ;pian and let cool till Chili Sauce thickness. - Then put in sugar, salt (spices mixed with the vinegar) and let cool for a few min- utes longer, stir well, Anne Al an irwites you, to write to her '/o News -Record.

The open packed lasts{t must contain 8 pounds. "Black Rogers and Reds" packed in the same "manner ,ean sell . as high as .GOc a basket. If these grapes are sold by a re- tailer, he will bei allowed to add the cost of freight if the grapes are shipped over fifteen . miles. The freight, however, must not exceed the carload freipht rate. v Stanchion Regional Offices of the Wartime PricesandTrade' Board have been asked whether stanchions require a ptOnit for their purchase. In this connection, W. Harold McPhillips has said that if a stanchion or stan- chions are sold separately, for new installations where a new eow byre Fall Fair Dates Dates of the Fall Fairs of the dis- trict are as follows: Tavistock Blyth Kincardine ........

S e S• -CUftD AP NOT N S PICTURING THE FARM ei If you want some good picture subjects, take the time to visit a farm it's well worth it when you can get results Tike this. IOTUB.E making on the farm is 1 something that many town and city folk are likely to overlook. But it seems to me that a trip into the country, and a visit to a farm, is a tine thing for anyone with a ,camera -and a splendid way to spend a day at this time of year, ,getting pic- tures -to send to those in the Ser- vice who always welcome gnapahota' of familiar scenes that recall happy days back home. Picture •making on the farm is one of those things .that might :begin with daylight if you're up that early -though 1'11 bet you're not. In any event, the earlier you get started the better, because then you can make a series of pictures as the fanner ' milks the cows, feeds the chickens, tends to the horses, and turns the stock out to pasture. Working step by step -or picture by picture -in that fashion is an excellent way to approach any pho- tographic subject, particularly one as big as a farm, because it keeps you from missing many worth -while snapshot' opportunities. When•. going out on a picture taking expedition be sure t0 choose your subjects carel`ully because, as you very well know, film is Scarce. Think before - you shoot and ask yonrself, "Will that make an inter•' eating picture?" If you are not sure -pass it up. Don't fail to get some pictures of the men working in the fields. Look for interesting angles as they plow or harrow the land. If ' you stand - back some distance you'll find that a plowman makes a perfect center of interest for a landscape. Keep your eyes open and you'lt find action; still-life, ,animal, store ,telling acid human interest pictures la abundance everywhere that men work in the country. John van Guilder
