And this wild and awful' music played id examples of very humble people. One would never imagine to see them that they had been so honored. Sur- prise has been ours after talking with them to learn that they were entitled to write after their name 0.1I.E. or C.B.E. at times we say well had I known that he or *he was such a dis- tinguished person I certainly would have been more careful as to how I spoke to him or her. Should our manner of speech be dif- ferent to one person than it is to an- other? Do we .show more respect to a person who has- received some honor than we' would to some humble resi- dent of our district. If we do then we are not worthy of any title. Do we make it a practise of losing our temper and speaking ,to anyone in a way which we would not do if some one we greatly feared. or loved were standing by. How often we would gladly take back words which we have spoken but unfortunately once saidd they can never be recalled. They leave us and g oout to cause, at times great grief. Many a time people, and at that some very near and ,deal; tous, have gone to their own room and have wept bit- ter tears over our attitude towards them. We may say "You did not need to take it like that" perhaps not, but there is no excuse for rudeness. At times as we have stood beside a still form those unkind words have come rushing back to use and we would give the rest of our lives if`we could recall them, but they have been spoken, and have struck home causing a wound which time can never wholly heal. May God grant that even in these troublous times we -may have more pa- tience. It is so much easier to be polite than it is to be rude. Do parents make it a point to teachtheir sons and slaughter's this lesson? In our cit- ies it is now and was even before war time quite customary to see an elderly woman er man standing in a street car while even young boys sat beside their. mother. It is true their fare had been paid but can money even takethe place of politeness? Age should at all times be respected. An elderly lady stood on a street corner, Time after time the lights changed and still she remained there. She was anxious to crossthe road but was fearful lest elle should be struck ,havoc with heart and soul. Till I prayed the Great Musician to re - harmonize the whole , . . Then lo! this hell' of man's forging, this orchestration of fears, Was held on a great crescendo _ . . and I heard the Saviour's tears! And I saw in this great struggle of the soul against the clod The Age's anticipation in the martyr- dom of God! Then I cried "0 Muse,' why be silent, subdued by war's dark flood, While others write epies of glory— and write them with their blood?"

All, but one passed her. That one stopped touched his cap and said "Lady if you: wished to go across the street could I be of any help" The poor soul, with tears in her eyes replied "It is so good ;of you to stop. I do want to get over to the other side as I have some shopping to do. My grandson, ayoung lad like you used tocome and take me out but God called 'him Home a while ago and it is very hard for me to get around: I would be gladof your help." Tenderly the young lad took her arm, watched for the Iight and• then took her across and saw her safely on her way before he hurried on to rejoin his ,pals. If you were the father or mother of that young boy would you not be proud of him? It is your home training which sends; your sons and daughters out into the world to be kind or inconsiderate. There -are many such young boys in our •country to -day. A large number of them have gone away and will net come back. There are still a few who do not know what it is to be thought- ful of those who are up in years. Parents, by word and example spend a little time each day teaching those whom God has entrusted to your dare to be polite. They will thank you for it in the years to come. To come back to the awards — What is at the back of them?— One might say there are two things love and hatred. Take for example those who have been decorated by our beloved King in civilian' life. The majority of thens bavindone some out- standing thing in the field of labor in which they are situated, Nurses and doctors have bad this honor con- ferred on them for their labor in medi. eine and surgery. For instance Miss Jean I .Gunn, late superintendent of nurses of Toronto General Hospital received on OBE from King George V and an L.L.D. from the University of Toronto, because of her arduous en- deavours in the field of nursing, Sir Frederich Banthig was given a Knight hood for his magnificent work in re- search. One might go an and on citing different cases but almost without ex- ception they have been bestowed for some labor which has or which will benefit humanity. Then there are the military decora- tions. We know that bravery on the field of battle in some of its branches have brought these. Would it not be nice if all who de- served a degree could receive one? We can. Each one of us is entitled to an honor which is higher than any which even an earthly Sovereign can give It is an S. C.—Servant of Christ— write down your name and follow it with an S. C. Again write your name and follow it with a V.C, the highest earthly honor which can be given by our earthly King. Now let us look at them thought- fully and prayerfully which, will we take: In order to receive a V.C. you must risk your life, jeans Christ has given His life in order that He anay offer us as a gift the honor of an S.C. as those who are honored by the King er by a University biy to live up to ' the honor whichhas been bestowed on them so the Servant of Christ have many things which they must do in order to live a life worthy of their' degree. He wishes us to have His love in our. hearts. How much happier we will be if we have it. Then too it means that we will be unselfish. As we look back over the day lotus just pick Out the times we have made someone else unhappy, 'be- cause we wanted our own way. There is not one of us but;who'has a, great deal of selfishness in his orher make up. As we read this do not think of the mean' things which Mary or John did but just 'ponder the selfish ea. tions and thoughts which: are: forming part of our lives, You and 1 have many times—spoiled the day for some one else. Have we been thoughtless? -Have we accused some one else to, take extra steps because we were lazy—yes we will just say, too lazy to do thing for ourselves. Have we greeted others with a.smile and thus started miles and miles of emiles`or have we gone around with a chip on our shoulder waiting for some one to knock it off? Jesus Christ is waiting to bestow an S. Q ,on us. Are we willing. to take it or are we going to turn away. The time will come when we will turn from Hint for the last time. Will we not right now make the decision and join with. those who are to -day! becoming Servants of Christ?" "PEG" V THE MIXING BOWL By ANNE ALLAN Hydro Homo Economist CHEDDAR CHEESE — FLAVOUR FUL AND NUTRITIIOUS Rollo Homemakers! For centuries the nomadic tribes' of Asia and Afri- ca made different kinds of cheese but it was an enterprising English farmer in the village of Cheddar, near Bristol, who systemized the former crude method of processing. Cheese made according to his method is called Ohede dar and has become the model of cheesemaking the world over. In Canada, Cheddar cheese is both plentiful and cheap, and for quality —did you know that the cheesemakers of Ontario have won many prizes for their products? There's high nu- trition value, too, in cheese: it is made from milk—that wonderful food. A. small quantity (1-4 Ib.) supplies 1-4 of the calories needed per day :by the average adult. It's a grand meat sub- stitute and, being a cooked product, it requires only a small amount of elec- tricity to blend flavours together — both important factors to -day. ^ One of these is that we must live apart from worldly pleasure. This may seem hard to do but when the love of Christ fills our hearts there will be no room for those things which are questionable. Should there he • any doubt in our minds as to whether r a thing ie. sight or wrong let us take it to Goa in prayer and allow Him to lead us. Beware lest we pray for;. guidance and then take our own way. It also means to love one another. To -day there is so much of hatred in the world that we find it hard to be agreeable and to love in, achristian way. How easy it is to be disagreeable and how hard it is to sat our opinions to one side and let someone else have some thoughts which they .think are right. Christ wants us always to stand up for what we believe to be right. NUTRI-THRIFT MENU Breakfast: Orange juice, cooked cer- eal with wheat germ and milk, French toast, coffee.

V n: Increase Subsidies on " Vegetables for Canning To encourage this years" production of tomatoes, corn, peas, and green and wax beans for canning purposes, the Dominion Department of Agri culture. has announced increased sub- sidies to farmers delivering tomatoes to canners for processing will be paid a subsidy of $3 a ton. For corn, the subsidy is $4 a ton; peas, $10, shelled weight, or $2, straw weight; and beans $7.50. Subsidies on canning crops were in. last year when they were paid to the canner who included them in his purchase price to the farmer. At that time, the subsidy on tomatoes was $1 a ton; corn, $2; peas, $7.50; shelled weight or $1,50 straw weight; and green or wax beans, $5. The 1943 subsidies are higher than those re- ceived by the farmer in 1942 by $2 a ton for tomatoes and corn, $2.50 for bean and shelled peas, and 50e for the straw weight of peas. The Department says the subsidy increases are considered necessary to encourage production of the required quantities of canning crops. Other- wise the farmer, caught between rise ing production costs and the proves, sor's price polling, might substitute less essintial craps involving less labour and risk' to produce.` Unfair to Neglect Filling Applications to Last Minute Western Ontario Local Ration Boards having fully recovered from the rush of issuing over a million number two ration books, are now prepared to care for applications for sugar needed for canning, states, E. J. Farley, London, Regional Superin- tendent of Ration Offices, These ape plications should be filed with Local Ration Boards .and notthe regular. Wartime •Prices ands Trade Board of- fices. While reports from a few of the 57 Ration Boards in Western Ontario indicate a number of housewives have already filled out their sugar appli- cation forms,and have attached thereto the application cards of other members of the family, the great ma- jority have yet to be filed, 'says Mr. Farley. The deadline forfiling canning su- gar applications is April 15. They should be mailed to the nearest Local Ration Board; "It is not fair to neglect filling out thes applications until the last min. rite." states Mr. Farley. "Local Rae tion Boards should not be swamped with sugar applications just before April "nth." It is important o t` p ant to remember that the housewife malting application should attach the application forms from. the ration books of other per- sons she will be feeding in her house- hold. Do not write anything but the ' serial number of the owners on these other forms. These numbers should be copied from the front of their' ration book," Mr. • Farley stated.' Anyone who can now successfully; work out his income tax forms —. 'first time out deserves `to be pay, ing on the top -bracket schedule.
