"How would it be if we would think this over until this time to -morrow night and each one of us bring a 'thought of what we would be deprived !of if Christ had not come?'; ' The following evening after thanks had been returned for all the bless - legs of the day Ian opened the dis- 'cession by saying "AsI walked down the street to -day I was thinking of the call to the army and my mind 'travelled many miles away, to those countries which are devestated by war. °where there islittle to eat; where fear is rampant; where one can have no •opinion of his own; where men are stood in rows and shot; and where womanhood is in no way respected; and the thought cane to pie that our 'world would be similar to that had 'Christ not conte. • ' What a dreadful place it would be to live in! There everyone would be in terror lest his neighbor would rise up against .hint :and life Would not be safe. In our 'wildest imaginings we cannot just 'visualize what it would mean. Then said, Mary—The other day when Sid was so badly hurt in that -ear.accident the Doctor was brought to help hien, If Christ had not come there would have been no doctors- a cruel medicine man would have •in -all probability have been called and ;Sid would just have been left to die. As it was he was made as comfort - „:able as it was possible for him to be •and we are allhoping he will get better. Then came Jane ---As Mary and I were talking about Sid I followed the thought through and saw the hos- pital to which Sid was taken. There everything was so neat and clean aid he. was placed in a nice comfortable .-bed. In no time the operating roots :Was ready, He was put to sleep with an, anaesthetic so that he would not feel, the pain when the fracture was being 'set. That was certainly a great deal better than having a crowd • of savages beating their crude instru- Ments around him making things all the worse for him. Bob continued: As. I was going to school this morning I was thinking ov- er the subject and it occurred to me that if Christ had not come there would have been no schdol for me to go to. I guess I would not mind that part very much for you all know I am not very fond of school anyway, When I went in this morning every- thing looked so nice. The teacher came in and began his lesson and before long I 'was really interested It was French we were studying and I do not care for languages, but before noon as went through the different sub- jects, I was so thankful that Christ had come if for no other reason that we might be civilized and educated. Would it not be terrible to be in a country where there was no culture. such as we receive through our edu- cational system! I do not think I will ever feel that terrible dread of school again, Stewart went on with. As I crossed the campus at the college this min- ing I looked about me and the scenery was really beautiful. The trees af- forded a shade and planted in rows they made such a nice lane. The grass was so green and the tennis courts lookedvery inviting. The thought came to me that if Christ had not come, we, instead of settling quietly in class roosts, would have been dodging in and out behind trees trying to escape the javelins of some other savages. Can we ever be thank- ful enough that Christ tame to the world! When I went to tho library to -night said Ted, I wondered what the world would be like without books then I Lealized that it was only the coming of Christ that made these things pos- sible. There would have been no print- ingpresses with which to make books I am glad to belong to the world since the conning of Christ." "I went out to play to -night said Frank and I thought it was so nice to have things to play with and to have the company of agreeable boys and girls. It must have been terrible before Christ crime not to be able to trust the fellows you wanted to play with, to be always afraid they would ti, a be- trying to do you harm. "Now, mother and dad" what have you thought out." !'My chief cause for thanksgiving that I am living in the world ,since. Christ came to the world and died for love. There is a fellow feeling be- tween us the like of which there nev- er was before the coming of Christ. If we had Iived in the days before the Christian Era. that love would have had no part in our lives, we would never have been the happy family we are to -day. That is my chief reason for being thankful that Christ came to the world and died for us," • "Well" said Dad "niy thought sim- ply follows that of mothers "If Jesus Christ had not left His Home above and ,come down here we would have had no church, there would have been no House of God, no place dedi- cated to Him where we might gather around His table and renew our sac- red vows to Him. We can just visual- ize what the world would be without our churches, schools, eductitionai centres and hospitals with all their various activities. Then best of all we have the love of Jesus Christ which has meant so much to us and which He, offers free to us just for the taking. In Hebrews 18: 8 we have that beautiful thought "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to -day, and forever." What a joy it is to us to know that He is the same loving Father to us". " The other day" continued Dad Graham "I had these verses sent to me which are very appropriate to this talk. I thank Thee, Lord Jesus. For coming to save us— I thank Thee for leaving The bright Golden Shore. I thank Thee for bearing Our sins on Thy shoulders I thank Thee for dying In agony sore. I thank Thee for rising From death as "the first fruits" I thank Thee for promise Of costing again" I thank Thee for joy That is strength in our weakness 1 thank Thee for peace. That lifts over our pain. "Thank Yoa" unending Our feeble lips frame— Jesus today rind forever The same." "PEC!"

There's the bit -by -bit me- thod with your housecleaning system- atically spread over a couple- of. months. Walls, floors, furniture and accessories are dealt with piece ky piece or room by roost etc. This does.' not upset the whole house. In pioneer. days there was just one type of floor and one method of clean- ing it --with sand (or strong soap) and waterpltis plenty of elbow grease To -day there are many types , of floors and finishes, each requiring special care. This is true, too, of all our home furnishings. • Below, we answer some of the ques- tions most often asked about clean- ing, since it is impossible to deal with all of them. But do write us about Your own special housecleaning pro- blems and we promise to answer im- mediately. CEILINGS AND WALLS Care depends on the finish. Clean them a little at a time. Calcamined and papered -:surfaces are dusted, Painted and wood -panelled surfaces may be .carefully washed.' Rinse a small portion, then dry.it thoroughly. Many women apply self -polishing wax to clean dry -painted walls 'to pre- vent fingerprints aid soll. SPOTS: CRAYON—sponge lightly. with a clean' soft cloth dampened with carbon tetrachloride; blot and repeat. Do not rub. SMUDGE ---Use a dough type of wallpaper cleaner or art gatfl' 'eraser. INK --blot im- mediately. Then apply a paste of ful- ler's earth. Ink bleaches are apt to remove color — apply cautiously. GREASE—held a clean white blotter over spot and apply a warns iron; or apply a paste of fuller's earth ,and. when dry, clean off with a cloth dampened with carbon tetrachloride. WATER,. STAINS—Apply a paste of fuller's earth and carbon tetrachlor- ide, Leave on over night. TEARS— tear a• piece of wallpaper to match; apply paste carefully; then press piece into place with a clean blotting paper. • WOODWORK Painted woodwork should be clean- ed with a cloth wrung tight out of clear, softened water, then dried off thoroughly, If heavy soil has been collected use a paint cleaner inad:e of 1-2 cup soap flakes dissolved in 1 quart hot water. Cool until jellied and stir in 1-2 cup. whiting. Apply cleaner with a damp cloth, then pal- ish with lemon oil. Always apply a thin film of oil. Let remain for 15 minutes, then tape up excess with soft cloth .Black marks may be rub- bed with fine pumice, Do not rub around spot. WASHABLE SHADES Take then down one at a time; dust thoroughly and place on flat surface. Scrub shade with a soft brush or sponge with thick' suds. Use water sparingly. Rinse off with clout wrung out of clear water. Dry, Hang' but do . not roll up untilthoroughly dry, PICTURES This . year you'll want to change them around to make your rooms dif- ferent, ifferent, Frequent crusting behind pic- tures prevents ominous black lines. A paste . of fuller's cards left on to dry may remove a stubborn line. Pic- ture fraises need waxing and polish- ing occasionally. Wooden fraises re- quire a little lemon oil; applied gent- ly -never rub. LIGHTING FIXTURES Dust on light bulbs and globes re- duces the amount of light so keep bulbs and lights clean to get the amount of light you pay for. Before cleaning fixtures, turn off theelect- ric current and remove shades, bulbs, etc. Then use the dusting attachment of the electric vacuum to go over the fixtures. Wipe bulbs with damp cloth, being careful not to get the metal section wet. Dry thoroughly. If bulbs are extremely dirty, hold by : me- tal end and Sip in soapsuds. J/ty carefully..

THE DEPARTMENT OF MUNITIONS AND SUPPLY Honourable C. D. HOWE, Minister glemememermoi COUPON PROBLEMS AS ANSWERED BY LONDON RATION BOARD OFFICE Your questions will be answered by the Women's Regional Advisory Com- mittee to the Consumer Branch, War- time Prices and Trade Board and should be sent to 291 Dundas Street, London. Q. I am planning to snake up S quarts of Jam and Jelly. How much sugar will I require? A. You are allowed 1 1-2 lbs of sugar for each quart: You will re. quire, therefore 12 lbs 'of sugar. Q. How do I list these amounts on application card? A. You will notice that your ap- plication card reads "I, holder of Ra- tion Book No. —•-make application for pounds of wager for cann- ing and jam and jelly malting. This will make —quarts of canned fruit, —quarts of jani or jelly." You will fill in the blank spaces. You will also fill in the blank. which asks the num- ber of persons in your household. which you will be feeding. Make sure too, that you give the serial number. of your ration book, Q. Are the amounts of sugar al- lowed for banning and for jam and jelly making adequate? A. The amounts are satisfactory for caroling and jam and jelly mak- ing, as proven by test in the Dominion Department of Agriculture •experi- mental kitchens. are cleaned with raw linseed oil; crystal bases with a cloth dipped, in water and household ammonia, and dried thorouglily. Hand -painted silk shades must be dry cleaned. Pasted or glued shades cannot be washed or dry cleaned. 'Linen or homespun can- not be washed but may be dry clean- ed. Imitation parchment should have pasted edges protected, then clean with turpentine. Genuine patchment is wiped with a cloth, sprinkled with a mixture: of 1 part turpentine and 10 parts mineral oil. Anne Allan invites you to write to her % Clinton New -Record. Send in your questions on homemaking problems. and watch this colmun for replies, Q. Is it true that I should can here fruit and make less jam and jelly. A. Yes. The Department of Agri- culture recommends canning fruit in preference to malting jam or Jelly be- cause; 1. More fruit can be put up with less sugar and at less cost. 2. Canned fruit retains more of the vit- amin value of the fresh fruit. Q. What do I do with the appli- cation forms in Ration Book 2 of oth- er members of the family. A. Attach to your own applica- tion card the application forms from the ration books of the other persons you will be feeding in your house- hold. Do not write anything but the serial numbers of the owners on these other forms. Simply copy the serial numbers from the front of their ration books on to their application forms and pin them to your own fully completed application. Q. I haven't vory,good storage fa- cilities for canned fruit, Is it wise for me to do much canning? 'A. It would be false economy to can a lot of fruit and have it spoil. We cannot afford to:have any spoilage or. .fruit this year. Both fruit and sugar 4vill be too precious to allow for that. So unless you leave a cool, dry cup- board 10 which to keep your fruit, it is not wise to can. Q. Will canning sugar be allowed for all fresh fruits? A. Yes, All fresh fruits including citron and wild fruits. But Banning sugar will not be allowed for 'mar- row, tomatoes and pumpkins as they are considered as vegetables. Q. now shall I get my sugar for canning and jam and jelly making? A. When your local ration board has reviewed your application you will be provided, sometime before June 1, with special canning sugar coupons. These will entitle you to buy sugar, at any grocery store, at specified In- tervals. v Must Show Need to Purchase Bike Priorities now effect bicycle sales. Cuts in bicycle produetion will save 2,500,000 pounds of raw steel by the end of 1943 as compared with 1941, the Wartime Prices and Trade Board announced. Biigycle sales rationing for essential users started voluntarily in the bicydle industry early in March and will continue for three months as an experiment. From now on those 1410 want bicyc- les, either new or rebuilt, will fill in forms showing why they need" then. Considered "essential" users are those who need bicycles to earn their living, such as messengers, watchmen and collectors. War work- ers who live more than a mile and one-half from their place of work and have no other means of transpor- tation are also in the preferred class. So are civilians who live the same distance from business and who have no other means of transportation. School teachers or students who need bicycles to get to and from school if the distance exceeds one mile and one-half and clergymen or professional men who need bicycles for carrying out their duties are among those •entitled to bicycles when. they are available. v Pork Products Maximum Prices Maximum wholesale and retail prices for dressed hogs and cuts of pork sold in all parts of Canada are established in an •order by the War- , time Prices and Trade Board's food administration, effective April. 1st.
