RAIN IN THE LAURENTIANS
Have you ever walked on a mountain
road
When a gentle rain was falling,
;When the only sounds were a purling
broolc
And a ;bird's voice faintly calling;
When the balsamed breath of the
forest blent
With the scent of roadside flowers,
And the scarlet and: crimson of bush
and tree •
Were fused in the misty showers '
"With the blue of asters and golden-
- rod
And the browning ferns and grasses,
Like an ancient tapestry greyed and
blurred.
But whose beauty never passes?
'here is peace and calm on a moun-
tain road.
When a gentle rain is falling.
..And the only sounds are a purling
brook
.-And a bird's voice faintly calling.

GIFTS OF 'YEAR
By Molly Bevan
-Can you not tarry awhile.
,o year, so near your reposing?
`T, who have loved you long,
Would have you Iinger in closing,
Linger. that I might recall,
Here in the twilight alone, -
Witha tinge of regret for bygone
things
The gionous days I have known.
Can you not stay your course
0 year, with my heart in your keep-
ing
I would not sadden your way
With.vain regrets or with weeping,
1 would but offer you thanks
For the golden gifts that you
brought,
And for guiding nay faltering steps
To the happiness that I sought.
For these, before you depart,
0 year, would I give you praise,
Telling them over again
'Like a rosary of days:
For your gracious gift of the spring,
For IiIting winds, and for mirth,
For high clear stars at night,
For the warm sweet scent of earth.
For leisure, and earnest toil,
For the comfort in kindly looks,
For health, for unending joy in life,
For my boundless kingdom of books,
For friends I have found with you,
Pee firelight's kindly cheer
For love, and laughter, and even tears,,
For. these, I thank you, year.
Year I have loved so well! :.
T would that you could stay,
Yet e'en as I voice the thought
The chimes begin to play;
Mellow and sweet and old,
Half tenderly sad, half gay,
While the gracious I{eeper of all the
years
Leads yeti gently away.
WIND HARPS'
Oh winds that blew so wild and' free,
You "are a giant symphony;
'The gaunt, bare branches of the trees,
Areharpsthe giants play with' ease,
But by the fire's cheerful glow
I watch the flames now come, now
go,
Anri in . the coals I See the ,Spring -
Upon
the hills the shepherds sing,
The flowers bloom so fresh and fair;
Their perfume, sweet, is in the air'
The water sparkles in the brook,
As I just sit and dream- and look
Oh, grand sublime! In many keys
The broken chords sound through the
trees,
The throbbing notes now louder grow!
So, play your harps, ancl.:blow winds,
blow!

WHAT FOODS MEAN 'r() YOU --
Bello Homemakers! Is' "nutrition"
just a vague -idea in your mind?
Here's your chance to ' be "in the
know" -to learn the meaning ` of
terms being used nowadays and other
things you will want to- know about
nutrition. For everyone should under-
stand why nourishment must be taken
in the proper proportions to give us
energy, to protect us from infection
and to regulate all body processes
Just think! What you eat for break-
fast,Iunch and dinner is changed into
flesh and bones and blood.
Strength and health can only come
to us from the food we eat- for food
is the body's only nourishment. Yes,
Homemakers! This health magic
conies straight from the kitchen. So
it's important to choose the right
kinds and right amounts of food for
the family. We have all found out
that -when our health is not good our
work suffers, we make more mistakes
and cannot accomplish as much in a
day -which would - certainly please

Nutrition: The term "nutrition"
comprises all the processes concerned
in the growth, maintenance, and re-
pair of living organisms. -
Dietetics: Is the application of the
principles of nutrition to the feeding
of different ages, under different
conditions, in health and in disease.
Composition of Foods: Is the six
groups of constituents called nutri-
ents - carbohydrates, fats, proteins,
minerals, water and vitamins.
Classification of Nutrients: (1)
according to their function in the
body (mechanical energy, building
and repairing tissues, regulating
body processes); and (2) according
to their chemical composition.
Essentials of an Adequate Diet:
To maintain the normal body in a
state of health a diet must contain:

ABOUT OBJECTIVES
This fine picture is part of a series on a hunting trip: You'll find your
camera will be of more value to you if you use it to work out picture
stories, or in connection with your work or hobby.
ASOUND approach --to photogra-
phy demands not only that an
individual become thoroughly coin-
petent with bis camera, but that he
also have a purpose behind his pic-
ture taking.
What that may be will depend
upon what you are interested in;
perhaps upon what you hope to ac-
complish, and probably upon ' what
yogi are doing. - At this time I won't attempt to
suggest even a smattering of the
ways in which, photography can be
of service to you• -there are just too
many -but Td like. to have you think
about the possibilities because hav-
ing a definite objective will help
you build a collection of really;in-
teresting pictures.
For instance, many people these
days are snaking it their objective
to 'keep the boys in service posted
on developments athome, through
snapshots. And you couldn't make
better use of your pictures. :rhe
men in service always like to ,re-
celye newsy snapshots which dhow
what the folks have been doing.
They're interested in everything,
from the walls you took in the coun-
try to the hour you spent giving
old Rover a bath. So make it your
objective to take pictures for your
soldiers, sailors or airmen. You'll
find it's fun,' and they'll appreciate
it tremendously. ,
However, a word of caution. Take
things easy at the outset. Don't try,
to picture everything at once. A set
of four or five pictures which Cell
-
a definite story makes the best
possible beginning, and such experi-
ence wiII give you confidence and
the ability to tackle bigger things.
So, right- now, give -yourself an
objective and start work. Male news
pictures of home activities, make a
photographic record of your hobby,
let photography help you in your
business. Put your camera to work, -
and you'll find it will bring you ever
greater dividends in'eatisfaction
and enjoyment.
