THE LIFE WORTH 1i'RILL HE CAME QUICKLY "When you come to the end of another He came quickly across the hill a day And you think of the things you have. done Is there anything that can make you say: "I am glad -I have helpedsome one"? :It is not for the things for yourself you do; But for others that most will tell— By always keeping their good in view As part of your own, as well... 'Thou shalt love thy neighbor, as thyself,". 'Is the key to a life worth while, For it opens a door to peace and health. And shuts to the things that are vile, 'It makes me lie down in peace to sleep With a conscience that's always clear, And faith with your fellow -man to keep As long' as you're livning here. —Anon Escaping the last gray light Of the day He seemed eager., To wrap the cloak or night About hint. When Inc passed by He didn't see me, Though I saw him And his black eyes Fixed on the night Below the hill i turned to the waning. light, Wondering about him, And back again to see Whether he had gone, The road bore no sign Or that he had ever passed that way. He came from across the hill, Though there are no houses there Or anything of interest Just a great black forest Above a swamp I have seen cowslips Growing there. Of, him, Carleton Lowenberg THE FAMOUS BRITISH NIGHT FIGHTER. AIRCRAFT "DEFIANT", IN LARGE-SCALE PRODUTION TYING KNOTS Have you ever sat idly trying ..to cases 14 was the beginniltg of deceit. put in a few moments of time? •It may be you have been undoing a par- cel of some kind .and in your hands- you andsyou are holding the string. As you sit pondering you are almost uncon- sciously tying knots in the cord. - We. find it is quite easy to tie them, but to undo • them is quite a different :natter. .Some will come apart much more readily than others. Se it is in life. As we go about our daily taaaks largely without knowing it, we are weaving traits of charact- er and unwanted habits into our lives. They are easy to put in but much harder to 'get out. Perhaps we might ..just look at some of these knots which will do a great deal of harm in our lives if, by the grace of God we are not de- livered from them. Through this column we have dealt from time to time with some of the most injurious of these knots. Prin- cipal among these have been, drink- ing, smoking, cardplaying,' dancing gambling. If you have tied these knots into your life you have been able to overcome them only by the :constant aid of Rim who has promis- ed to be our Helper under all •eiretun- stances, The company we keep is largely responsible for these knots, but it is much better to walk alone with God than to be in the company of a large number of undesirable friends, A young air force man speaking of camp life said "If you want to get into ;bad, company you can find it in the force, but you may also find the best associates you could wish for. You can take your choice.' There are many fine Christ- ian mien in the army and there is work for them to do in trying to in- duce those who are wandering away, to go back into the straight and narrow path. Looking at some of the lesser knots we may tie into our lives we might mention. 1, Slang—It is so very easy to use words which We imagine are expres- sive of the thought we have in mind, and yet which we would not find hi any good dictionary, Does any one think any more of us because we use slang. We can all recall someone, of whom we thought a great deal. Then one: occasion we found them using words which surprised- us and from that moment they dropped in our estimation: There is nothing finer than the English language, then why use words which are unnecessary, which certainly are not elevating to those who say them nor to those who use them. This of course, is apart from actual swearing where the name of our: dear Saviour is used as we break that commandment "Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the ' Lord will not hold him 'guiltless that taketh his name in vain.". 2: Then there is the sorry knot of repeating what we do not know to be obsoletely true. We have • watched the progress art a story. We knew the beginning of it but when it came bade to us later on we could not recognize it. Surely we have had nothing to do with passing' on scandel about any- bodybe they friend or foe! We should always apply this rule to, every such yarn, "Do I know it to be tripe? Even though it should prove to be true let us ask ourselves that ques- tion. 'Would I like it told .about me? If .we would, then spread it far and wide but if not, he the first to stop it going any further. Il. I1ow do we read: to the knot of b.er:ring stories which are not clean? Do we, allow anyone to think that we enjoy an impure story? When such is told. do we join in the Laugh or do we definitely let it be known that we do not wish to hear such: e tale. We may feel ourselves lionoured if the teller of anything which is not good says. "I know' a good story ,now s the time to tell it when — is not leis" 'Th.ere are many beautiful hings' which can be told, then why et your minds diwell Mr something uvhioh is invpuro. 4, Then there . is the knot of deceit. In our school days we sense times thought little of copying an ex?r,1 ''se from :anotlher student but coking back we find that in many British "Defiant" fighter aircraft prised the Lcftwa1fc on their first 1 have proved highly sucecssful in night operations against enemy aircraft over • Britain.

"Defiant" night fighters nearing completion lithe as- sembly shop of a British aircraft fac- tory, with other aircraft outside ready cu to take off. •i. 5. ,There comes the knot of trying to menage some one else's affairs. People, at times desire our advice, lett unless in case of sickness or dis- ability our friends like to feel that they can still "carry on", It is quite alright to offer assistance but leave It at that. If more is required of us we will be asked to lend our as- sistance. 6. Last in •otu list' to -day is the knot of being tardy, or procrastinating. Formerly we felt embarassed at being late for an appointment but as time went on we thought that people would be surprised if we were there. What a distressing habit that is for those who have to wait on us! It leads to many complications and quite often to a break in friendship. Included in this is that knot which is of ' most importance in our lives, that of putting off the acceptance of our Lord and Saviour ,esus Christ as our personal Saviour. Holy mudh of life we miss when we do not feel free to commencethe day with Him and have Him walk beside us all the way! There are times in the lives of many of us when we would not know how to get along if we could not go to our little pray- er alter and there pour out our an- guish of soul and ask His help. When we come away from there we feel that although the burden we have to bear ,is great yet we do not have to carry it alone. Only those who have experienced that corn- panionship have any idea of the real moaning of it. We may put off our acceptance of Christ from. day to day until it is too late, for He will not force Him- self upon us. We must express the thought "Lord Jesus, come into my heart". He is nearer to us than breathing And is more willing than any earthly friend: to walk the way of life with us. 1f we have tied this knot of pro- crastination let us now undo it and take Jesus Christ as our Saviour. Won't we do that to -day? "We build an alter hese, Ad pray That Thou wilt show thy face; Dear Lord if Thou wilt come to stay This home we consecrate to -day Will be a holy place." "PEG" THE MIXING BOWL ay ANNE ALLAN Hydro Homo Economist ABOUT MEAT ALTERNATIVES Hello Iiomenmakers!' News of the beef shortage =- and possible ration- ing — ation-ing- calls for more than merely an extra helping of,vegetables at meals. Wise homemakers will plan alter- native foods to do the jab that meat does-- "stick to your ribs," as the men say. In meat, you really get four food values: (1)protein for building -up and repairing .body tissues, (2) -iron for red blood cells and carrying oxygen, (3) fat for heat and energy, and (4) B vitamins for good appe- tite and nerves, As you know, dif- ferent foods have different food values and some have protein, iron and 13 vitamin values similar to those contained in meat. The fol- lowing is a list of moat alternatives: poultry, fish; eggs, cheese, (which contains small amounts of iron) dried peas, .beans, green; vegetables and potatoes. And don't forget the meat ;'extras" -- liver, heart, kid- ney, tripe, and brain = so excep- tionally rich in minerals and under no government restrictions: After your busy day's work, an old favourite' recipe easily prepared and satisfyingly flavoured will keen. your wheels and cogs in good re- pair. We suggest eggs: omelette, scrambled, poached, devilled, seal- oped, curried, fricassee, etc, cheese: fondue, omelette, souffle, macaroni; fish: calces, . croquettes, creamed, creoled, fried., baked, etc. One important tip to remember in the cookery of alternatives such as cheese, eggs and fish — use short cooking periods' and low tempera- tures. Why? Cheese is already a cooked product, and the protein in eggs and fish is often toughened by high ' temperatures. RECIPES Rice Rarebit 1 tb. butter, 1 tb. flour, 1/4 tspl dry mustard, 14' tsp. salt, few grains peppier, 1 cup milli, 1 lb. cheese diced, 1 cusp eoeked 'rice, 1/ ,cup .chopped celery, Make a sauce from butter, flour, mustard, salt, pepper and unilk. Turn element "Off." Add cheese and stir until it is melted and mix- ture is smooth. AdtI rice and celery. Serve in toast cases or on slices of crisp toast. Crispy Fish Cakes 1% cups salt cod, shredded, 3 cups potatoes diced, 3- onions sliced, 1% tbs. baking fat, % tsp. pepper, 1 egg well, beaten. Soak codfish' in cold water for 14: hour. Drain. Put fish, potatoes and onions in saucepan, cover with boil- ing water and eook until potatoes are tender (about ten minutes). Pour off the water and shake saucepan over heat to fluff potatoes. Mash thor-. oughly, add baking fat, power and egg. Beat until light and fluffy and shape mixture into flat eakes. Brown on both sides in hot fat. Serves 6 Carrots with Lima Beans 1 cup dried Lima beans, 1 cup raw carrot skips, 2 tbs. chopped onion, 3 tbs. baking fat, 3 tsp. milk.

Add carefully Lima beans, carrots and milk, mixing lightly. 'Season to taste. Serve hot. Serves 6 TAKE A TIP: 1. The use of extension cords with your household electric appliances cuts efficiency. If too many ap- pliances are attached to one plug or outlet, you run the danger of overloading the circuit and blowo ing; a fuse. 2. Clean your old playing cards with- out leaving a sticky surface by using a ;;mall amount of spirits of camphor on a cloth and rub- bing dry with a soft cloth. The mien in uniform would appreciate any extra packs you may have. THE QUEs'rION I30X Oven Baked Melton (Requested by Mrs. M. D.

Saskatoon, Sask, ,Albert E. Elliott, --:-v 'armers Applying in TWo:Categories Farmers in making application for permits to slaughter livestock should specify whether or not they intend to do custom slaughtering. Two types of applications for slau- ghtering are being issued to farmers - et the Regional offices of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board. Persons doing Custom slaughtering fill out one ap- plication and those slaughtering live- stock, or operating an abattoir or slaughterhouse are requested to de- note this fact on another application. Since January first, farmers slaugh- tering cattle, for the sale of meat have been required to obtain a per- mit. This is unnecessary when a -farm- er slaughters for his Household con- sumption. clh=SNAPSHOT GUILD Sidelighting contributes to the pictorial success of this picture. 7 IGHTING will make a snapshot Ll dull, dramatic, matter of fact, or intensely interesting. It depends much on the way it strikes the subject. Therefore,every photog- raplher,'should make it his business to learn as =eh ,about lighting as he possibly can. There are really but twa ways you can learn about lighting. One is to work indoors with artificial light, and the other is to step out- doors and learn what can bedone with sunlight: And since most snap- - shots are made outdoors, you'll prob- ably find it easier to follow the sun- lit course. ' TWo factors that play an impor- tant part la securing appealing out- door pictures are the time of day you take your pictures and the way you pose yowl• subject in regard to the direction of the light. For instance, the best hours for snapahooting are fairly early in the. morning, say about two hours after sunrise or around two hours before sunset. The sun is Shen not too high in the sky, and produces not only brilliant highlights, ,but creates in- teresting shadows. The earlier or later in the day, the longer the shadows will be,and: long shadows often enhance pictorial effect. As for posing your subjects, re- member that you can take pictures with the sun either behind the camera, ' toone side of the camera,. or with the sin in front, of the camera.. Each gives you a different lighting effect so pose your subjects accordingly. When shooting toward thesun, however, the lens should 'be protected from the direct rays by a lens hood, shaded by your hand, or perhaps by a shadow cast by some nearby object. If it's a sidelighted picture you want, pose your subject so that he is either partially or., completely sideways tothe sun. Finally, if you want backlighted Pictures, pose your -subject so than Inc is between the .'camera and the 1]xperimenting with light, you'll find, is really fascinating and leads to better pictures. 410 John van Guilder
