In imagination recently I had a wonderful ride with a friend Who had suddenly through bereave- ment been called of a twelve hour trip. • We have stood at times on the shore of a lake and have watched the nun set and have noticed with joy the reflection of the different hues on. the surrounding sky and clouds, , what -a beautiful sight! On the aeroplane trip to which reference has been made a storm was snconnteeed and the plane .had to soar above the Blonds. Such beauty had to soar above the clouds. Such beauty has never been seen on earth The clouds were rolling and tossing •and the sun shining .on them gave them such a wonderful hue. Im- agination in the distance could be seen the City of Jerusalem. Then as they sped along there was a break in the clouds Which permitted the observer to look through to another -layer of clouds. These were not so bright but were nevertheless beau- tiful, As he watched, for an instant thee was a space in both clouds and -down, at least a thousand feet the earth could be seen. It is not a pity that we all have -,rot the privilege of seeing this beau- tiful sight? It may be some of us 'will have the opportunity, but if we should not in this world -we will when :all clouds have rolled away and we reach that land of unsurpassed beauty -These things cannot be adequately •described but it gives one who has not the privilege of going, some wender- •fui thoughts with which to occupy their mind. A$ •times we fail to xea- lize that when a storm is visiting our locality and the clouds are dull and black that the sun is still shining and that the upper side of the clouds are beauty with which little else can cont - As soon as a plane lands in the flying field, ground men start to work to repair anything which may need attention. Then there 'is the re- fueling process, for a plane cannot go on without fuel. A forced landing would be necessary and in all pro- bility this would be where. it was not convenient. The fuel is there ready to do its work, but it has to be brought into contact with the plane before it can do any good. Jesus Christ is our source of power. He is willing and, ready to give us the strength to 'carry on from day to day but we must ask Him to, He will not come into our lives unless we want Him too, but how much joy there is for us when we take Him as our personal Saviour and journey along each day with Him, God's word is full of promises for each one of us, but if we do not read those promises we cannot expect to receive any benefit from them, In these huge trans- continental air planes there is an inhaler, which one can use. The instrument is in some way plugged into •the waII. How foolish a person would, be if they were not breathing easily, to 'refuse to follow the advice of the accompany- ing nurse to help their breathing by using' an inhaler. It is the same thing in our spiritual lives. We daily need God's help, but if we will not read His inspired word and thus se- cure Isis precious promises we must take the result of our carelessness. -Now perhaps more than at any time in the history of the world we need His word. Our young men and w omen are going out to do battle for us. Would that they were all secure u nder His guidance! Many of them are and are ready if He should, call them at any time, but a great many of them are still clinging to the world followers of our Earthly Ring to our homes.

Restaurants and hotels must now observe meat- less Tuesday, and many homemakers are asking questions .about the •dish- es the chefs are serving so they can follow suit. It's a splendid idea be- cause it will back the Government in the effort to reduce meat consumption and helps you to stretch your meat ra- tion over the week.—especially if you use soup as a starter for your meals. One most important dish for Tues- days is soybeans. Unlike the more fa- miliar navy beans, soybeans are rich in protein, low in starch (take• heed! pudgy folk) and contain 10 to 12 times _as much fat as other kinds of dry beans. For success in cooking, soak soybeans overnight and cook diem on "Low" heat in "soalcing" water. We like them sprinkled with salt and served plain, or with molas- ses (if molasses is available) like Boston Baked Beans, Parsnips are the inexpensive vege- table this week, If your family think they .do not Iike them just mash your parsnips along with the potatoes, or cook them with carrots to otter a nice, flavoursome dish with omelette or fish, for your meatless Tuesday. RECIPES Soybean Casserole 2 cups soybeans, 1-4 cup diced salt pork, 2 cups chopped celery; 2 tbs. chopped onions, 6 'tbs.' flour, 2 cups milk, 1 tb. salt, 1 cup buttered bread crumbs, Soak soybeans overnight, Let sim- mer for 1 1-2 hours. Brown salt pork in a frying pan. Add the celery and onion and saute for about 5 minutes. 1 Add thickening made from the fioui, milk and salt, and stir until it reaches the boiling point. Stir in cooked beans and pour mixture into a greased bak- ing dish. Cover with buttered bread (crumbs. Bake in a moderate oven (350) for 30 minutes or until the crumbs are brown. Parsnips and Carrots 6-8 medium parsnips sliced, 8 med- ium carrots sliced, 1-2 cup water, salt and pepper, 3 tbs. neat dripping. Put parsnips and carrots in. 'sauce- pan with a tight -fitting lid and turn Switch of electric element to "High,' When steam flows from the vent, turn to "Low" for 10 minutes unci then off for 10 minutes, Drain. Season. TAKE A TIP ' 1. The Wartime Prices and Trade Board has recently allowed four styles and sizes of food choppers for house- hold use—a asset to stretching meats and using leftover. 2. Enamel -coated food choppers need special rare. - They're 'weighty so do not kaap them andhips the enamel; be careful to remove gristle and hard pieces to prevent "check- ing. 3. Meat ,extenders shouldaid in 'managing the food budget. 4. Meat extenders should be chos- en to increase the nutritive value of the dish and the flavour. We suggest cheese, spaghetti, noodles, dried beans, milk sauces, cereals and bread crumbs. TIii3 QUESTION BOIL Mrs. 13, A. asks: ".Flow much cereal is added to minced meat?" Answer: Add 2-3 cup quick -cooking oatmeal, 1-2 cup water and seasoning to 1 pound of ground meat. No egg is necessary. This amount will make 12 small pleat balls. Mrs. G, S. asks: "Why is cottage cheese more difficult to make with pasteurized milk?" Answer: Due to low bacteria con- tent.

Ration • Coupons, Here are the dates on which ration coupona are due: , Butter coupons 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 are now usable; 12 - and 13 are• due May 27. Coupons 6,, 7, 8, and 9 ex- pire May 31. Sugar, tea and coffee coupons 1, 2,3,4, 5, 6 are good; 7and 8are due May 27. These coupons may be used indefinitely. The special blue coupons (spare B) for one pound of sugar for 'home- grown rhubarb is good until June 1. V • Resuming $ales of • Seed Potatoes, Sale of certified seed potatoes for. any other use than planting until June 5 is prohibited by the Wartime Prices and Trade Board, states W. `HaroId McPhillips, Prices and Supply representative, Sales of certified seed potatoes were frozen May 10 but may now be resulted provided they are used for planting and that they are sold in their original containers and carry a Federal Department 01 Agriculture tag as to certification. Each seller of certified seed potat- oes must obtain in writing from each buyer, a statement that the potatoes purchased are for use as seed only. This statement must have the name and address of both seller and buyer and be kept on file for three months, for inspection by the board. V Meat Rationing is Complicated Task Meat rationing will be introduced in Canada in May, Hon. 3. L. Ilsley, Minister of Finance announced in the House of Commons this month. The Ration allowance for every man, woman and child will be appro- ximately two pounds per person per weak, carcass weight. The brown "A" coupons in the new ration book will be used for treat. "The proposed meat rationing plan," Mr, Ilsley said, "will result in a moderate reduction in the total con- sumption of meat in Canada, but will still allow a quantity of meat which is aboye the minimum nutritional re- quirements of an active adult male worker. It will result in a more equit- able distribution of supplies and will make it possible to increase the quan- tities which we can make available for shipment overseas." "I want to emphasize that meat ra- tioning in a country like Canada is a difficult and 'complicated work." he concluded, "It will be made less difficult with the wholehearted co-op- eration of all groups in the commun- ity. We lUivc hail that in a large mea - i sure in the past and we confidently 'count upon it in the future, One Hog Supplies Nine One. 200 -lb bacon hog, dressed out will supply sufficient; bacon for the ration of nine people in Britain for a year. The bacon ration for Britain is one-quarter Ib. per person per `week. Canada is sending 'a total of 705,912,000 pounds of perk products to the British Ministry of Food in 1943; and "every bit of it is needed just to maintain those British bacon rations—not to increase them,"' a spokesman of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board -stated. That's one imp- ortant reason for meat rationing; in Canada. a V Relaxing Regulations - On Farm Machinery. Twelve items have been. added to the group of five already exempt from the Wartime Prices and Trade Board order- which rations new farm I machinery and equipment. n Other. articles now - exempt are: sickle knife grinders,' incubators' (100 egg: or under) brooders, pump, jacks, wood, well pumps, barrel and cistern pumps, churns, sprayers (six ,gallon and under) wheelbarrows electric fence controllers hand operated rrated seed- , pe =Mi- lers, cultivators and weeders and hay forks and their slings and attach- ments. • Price Board Facts of Wartime Interest Your questions will be answered by the Women's Regional Advisory•C'om mittee to the Consumer Branch, War- time Prices and Trade Board, and should be sent to 291 Dundas street, London. - - Q.—I want to buy seed for my farm and it. char a already g I e y owe the mer- chant on my charge account. May I charge the seed if the merchant is willing to sell it? A.—Yes, because the seed is pur- chased exclusively for your business as a fernier. All goods purchased by a farmer for use solely in his busi- ness as a farmer would be exempt from the Consumer Credit order. Of course, this does not apply to farm machinery, Q.—I want to buy a team of horses and the dealer tells me I must pay him one-third of the purchase price lir cash. Do ',have to? A.— Yes, because the horses are goods under the WPTB order. All goods must have one-third down be - for delivery on any time sale, Q.•—What does "squirreline, dyed rabbit" marked on a fur coat mean? A.—.To protect customers who are buying fur coats, the WPTB has ruled that merchants must specify from what animal the fur has come. "Squirreline" is rabbit. Q.—Owing to illness .we wish to rent our .home furnished for a period of not more than three months. I have a tenant willing to accept our terms. May I do this without consult- ing the rent board? A.—It will • be necessary for you to make application for fixation of the rent for the accommodation mention- ed in your letter. Your application should be trade through the office of the Regional Rentals officer, Bell i3uilding, 291 Dundee St., London. Q.—I made application for a tract- or which I need badly because I am short of help. I have been advised by the company to whom I applied that they cannot supply the machine. What shall I do? A.—The supply of tractors is ap- parently very much short of the de- mand. You could try, however, to find some other farm machine corn- pany which manufactures tractors and perhaps locate one through them, It is understood, of course, that you may not buy a tractor without a writ- ten permit from the WPTB. Meat Builds Tissue Food economists explain that peo- ple who request extra meat rations because they are workers in heavy duties are not aware that meat is a source of protein which builds tissue. It is not a straight energy food. To provide extra heat and energy, one must eat sugars and starches, rather than meats, for the main function of meat is to rebuild tissue, it was ex- plained. V To Limit. Mark-up on Early Vegetables High mark-ups beingtaken by some importers and retailers have caused the rapid rises in prices in early spring vegetables in recent weeks, Wartime Prices and Trade Board officials` announce. An 'order establishing a strict mark-up eontr•oI on these vegetables will be announce0,, shortly. The vege- tables will . include lettuce, - tomatoes, celery, cabbage, carrots, green peas and green or wax beans. - Ontario. Towns to Plan Place in Aviation Thursday, May 27th, will see the first combined effort on the part of over one hundred Ontario ccnnnunit ies to plan their place on the post- war aviation map,t when a, meeting sponsored - by the Aeronautical Insti- tute of Canada will be, held at the Royal York Hotel, .'Toronto, commen- cing at 1.80 pan. Many `communities have already done considerable work on the matter HEALTH .. of airport development, with the ' co- operation of The Aeronautical Insti- tute. In many cases, airport sites have been set up to work with the Institute in the 'development of ac- tual plans for run -ways and build- ings. The tendency, through the.devel- opment of larger and larger aircraft has been to have fewer and fewer ports of call on main line, runs, and the Municipal Branch of the.Aeronau- tical Institute has been working out plans for the development of feeder services which will bring the advan- tages of aviation to every community. It is expected that aviation will bring about decentralization of light indus- try particularly, and that no longer wiill this section of industry feel it necessary to locate in a few large centres. The Ontario communities are so close to the most•thickly populated centres in the United States that an enormous increase in tourist 'traffic is envisaged, the impulse of which will be felt not only by those communities which offer tourist attractions by by every centre in Canada because of the demand which will he created for nearly every type of food, service and equipment. The development of On- tario's winter resort possibilities will receive enormous impetus; as will, of course, the summer tourist traffic. The meeting will be climaxed by an address given by Mr. 0. H. -Dick- ens, Vice President and General Man - ago: of Canadian Air Lines, now op- erating the greatest mileage of Air- ways in Canada, and Mr. Dickens will tell what an extension of Aviation will mean in the post war reconstruc- tion period in, -helping to keep Cana- dians busy, and how all communities, both large and small, will benefit from the development of our sky- ways. Invitations have been sent to‘ the ,Mayors of every municipality in On- tario with a population exceeding 1,000 and it is expected that `Council and Board of Trade members will at- tend in gratifying numbers, Big Increase in 'Canned Vegetables The pack of canned vegetables in 1942 was 16,547,776 cases compared with the six-year, average (1986-41) 01( 9,084,529 cases, according to the annualreportof the Canning Sec- tion, ewtion, Fruit and Vegetable Division, Dominion Department of Agriculture. One of the main factors for last year's large pack was the big quantity of peas canned --3,671,486 cases, ape patently a record for all time in Can- ada. The corn pack also increased from 1,746,950 cases in 1941 to 1,810, 991 cases in 1942. Owingto poor wea- ther conditions and lack of help both to the grower and to the canner there was a considerable drop in canned tomatoes and tomato juice from 3,- 339,494 cases of canned tomatoes in 1941 to 2,228,247 cases in 1942; and from 2,538,684 cases of tomato juice' in •1941 to 2,014, cases in 1942. The 1942 fruit pack, in view of the fact that canned apples and apple sauce were not packed due to contain- er restrictions was exceptionally good - - the preliminary estimate placing it at 1,815,000 cases. It is slightly below the six-year average (1936-41) of 1,910,268 cases. In 1942 a total of 185,000 cases of fortified apple juice was packed for the armed forces. Shortage of fruit pulps, particularly strawberry and raspberry, resulted in a lower production of pure jam in 1942. Due to the restriction on tin plate the peels of ready -to -serve soups was prohibited. This resulted in a drop of about 1,000,000 cases in 1942, the product packed being condensed soup. Only small quantities of beets, ear- ro'ts, and baked beans were canned in 1942, and these wore destined for 'army navy and air force canteens. V Children Get Meat Ration Meat rationing in Canada affects every Canadian equally, "from the cradle to the grave," Wartime Prices and Trade Board announcements have shown. Infants will be entitled to their weekly ration because meat en- ters into their diet after they are a few months old, qkeNAP5ijOT CUW PHOTOGRAPHIC INVENTORY k,1 i A few snapshots of your home, Tike this for instance, may be of great value In establishing insurance claims if disaster strikes. DISASTRR, whether it strikes in the form of flre, bombs, high winds, or floods, is a dismaying thing. And even though your prop- erty may be protested by insur- ance, did you ever realize that photography may help in the sub- sequent adjustment and recon- struction? Believe me, that's not fiction—it's fact. What's the answer? A little per- sonal documentary photography, that's all. Just make a photo- graphic inventory of your personal property, store the prints and neg-, atives;in a safe spot, -'not in your home . . Then if disaster strikes you'll have evidence which a will go a long way In establishing g your insurance claims where de- struction has occurred. Begin your inventory with sone ,good snapshots of ' your house. Choose a good sunny day, so that there'll be lots of detail evident, and then make three or four pho- tographs to 'show all =tarter as- pects and landscaping. The date and other pertinent information should be written..on the bash. Next, make a series of interior photographs, like the picture above, to show all furnishings and valu- able possessions. Two pictures, of each room are usually sufficient, al- though in some cases three are necessary to show all the .furnish- ings. You: may want to make indi- vidual -pictures. of especially value able objects, but in general don't worry too much about how the, room looks—the important thing is to show all articles plainly and clearly. Rooms with subdued light re- quire about 80 seconds' exposure at 1/16 when your - camera is loaded with very fast panchromatic firm. Brightly 'lighted rooms re- quire about 8 seconds' exposure at 8/16. But i8 you're ever in doubt about correct exposure, make three negatives of each scene—one each at 8 seconds, 30 second's, and , 2 minutes at 1/18. I4 your camera is loaded with "chrome" typo slim, double those exposures. One of them is almost certain to give you satisfactory yeeults. 386', John van Guilder
