From 'able lass
On Sunday evening, Sergeant Neil
McLean preached his 'farewell ser,
mon to the boys and 'girls of the.
"Happy Circle 'Bible Class" of 48
members at the Huron County Home

a kind effort to console the class,
who so deeply regretted his sudden
removal from their midst; Sgt. Mc-
Lean took for his reading Psalm 119,
verses 169 to the end, and the 121st

MAGIC WORDS
There's nothing to fear, you're
good as the best,
As strong as the mightiest, too,
You can win in every battle or test;
For there's no one just like. you.
There's only one You in the world
today.
So nobody else you see,
Can do your work in as fine as way,
You're the only one there'll be.
So face the world, and all life is yours
To conquer and love, and live,
And you'll find the happiness
endures.
In just the measure you give,
There's nothing too good for you iU
possess,
Nor heights where you cannot go.
Your power, is more than belief or
guess,
s,
It's something You have to know.
There's something to fear.— you can
and you will
For you're the invincible you,
So set your foot on the highest hill,
There's nothing you cannot do.

of Seaforth Dies
The death occurred suddenly Thurs-
day, July 22 of Annie McGavin,
ow of Ralph Elliott, Mrs. Elliott had
been ill since last November with a
heart condition, but had been going
about as usual for the past few
months. She was born in Stanley
township 78 years ago and later mov-
ed with her parents to McKillop
township, where she attended school.
She was married, in Trinity Anglican
church; Bayfield to Ralph Elliott ever
60`years ago, who predeceased her in
.1926, Mrs, Elliott was member of
Northside United church. Surviving
are five brothers, John 1VleGavin,
Tuckersmith; Fred McGavin,' Detroit
Mich., Alfred and Dr, Edward Me-
Gavin, Windsor, Arthur, Reading,
,Pennsylvania, and .two, sisters, Mrs.
Tasker, Windsor, and Miss Mary Me -

that
to heat the juice to almost boiling
(190 to 212 F.) before extraction; (2)
failure to fill the warm bottles with
juice while it is,: practically boiling;
and (3) failure to fill the bottles to
within one inch of the top of the
neck. The process' that is recommen-
ded for use in the home is as follows:
Thoroughly vine -ripened tomatoes
are stemmed and cored. The fruit is
slightly pulped and placed on the
stove in a covered kettle, then heated
to boiling. As many tomatoes are
placed in the kettle at the commence-
ment of this step as possible in ord-
er to exclude the air and prevent de-
struction of vitamin C. After the
pulp has boiled 4 to 5 minutes, it is
ready to be passed through a Sieve to
remove the ,skin' and seeds. At this
point the necessity of haste cannot be
overemphasized as the juice will lose
much of its vitamin value if exposed
to the air. If the juice is kept near
the boiling 'point . the vapour given
off during the extracting will keep
the air away from the product.
The extracted juice should be're-;
turned to the kettle and brought just
to boiling. At the same time have.
enough sealers or bottles being kept
hot in the oven. Fill these with juice
seal, and place in boiling water. If 'the
juice is kept hot, bottles may be fill-
ed to within one inch of the top of
the bottle. If bottles are used, ster-
ilize caps in boiling water for 5 min
utes before nee, but not long enough
to cause cork to bulge. Aluminum.
or parchment spotted caps do not re-
quire this treatment. Cook bottles on
their sides for 10 minutes in boiling
water. Quart sealers should receive
20 minutes cooking.
The juice considered to this point
is pure tomato suitable 'Tor feeding to
babies instead of orange juice. If it
is to be used by adults as before -
breakfast drink or a cocktail it is
improved by the addition of salt at
the rateof one level teaspoonful to
each gallon of juice.

Too Good to Last
A perfectly good record was marred
on Tuesday evening when Sgt Over-
holt, of the municipal police lodged
two women, one from Clandeboye and
one from St. Marys, in Huron County
Jail, charged with vagrancy. For
three days previous the white flag
had been flyingfrom the jail's flag -
Pole, signifying that the jail was free
of prisoners, a fairly rare circum-
stance. The women in custody are on
remand, pending trial. They had been
under police observation for some
days.
The prayers and good wishes of the
class will be that God's richest bless-
ing will be bestowed upon him in his
new place. But we will always be
hoping that he may be back when
peace again 'comes to our war torn
world. Signed on behalf of the
"Happy Circle Bible Class", Mrs. Ja-
cob, matron, Shorty Dorrington, lea-

Price Control
Benefits Canadians
Price control is working and a
display in one of London's largest de-
partmentai stores proves it. A show
window was opened there Monday to
demonstrate the savings Canadians
are pocketing because the Wartime
Prices and Trade Board has pegged
prices.
The display is restricted to foods
and shows that an entire window full
of miscellaneous articles can be
bought for what it cost to get a bag
of sugar, a bagof potatoes and a
bag of rice when prices 'skyrocketed
following World War 1.
Shoppers were paying $23, for a
cwt. of sugar, $21 for rice and $6 for
potatoes—a total of $50.' Prices • had
risen because there was no ceiling
—the Wartime Prices and Trade
Board did not exist --the signs in the
window explain, Today, a housewife
can buy an imposing list of articles
including the sugar, rice' and pota-
toes for $50. Among the ninety-five
articles hi the window are a dozen
tins of peas, ten tins of soup, tea, col'-
fee, cocoa, butter, eggs, twenty-four
pounds of flour, a dozen oranges,
pickles, macaroni, soap, neat and
many othercorirmodities.

C.W.A.C. Pay Increase
The decision to give members of
the Canadian Women's Army Corps
dependents' allowance has swept away
one of the greatest obstacles to re-
cruiting for this branch of the ser-
vice and recruiting offices have al-
ready experienced the reaction.
.Although the announcement was
only made this week that OWAC's
were toreceive increased pay and
that their dependents would be given
the same allowance as soldiers' de-
pendents, other than husbands, or
children, Lieut, C.M. Boyd, in charge
of CWAC recruiting in Military Dis-
trict No. 1, states that she has re-
ceived several calls from girls inter-
ested in joining, now that they know
their dependents will receive an al-
lowance.
The girls have been reluctant to
join before, she said, because they felt
they would be neglecting their duty
towards their mother, sister, or same
other relative dependent on them. De-
spite the fact that they were anxious
to do their bit in releasing soldiers
for active service on the fighting
fronts they felt they would be shirk-
ing family responsibility. We expect
more recruits now that that pro-
blem has been solved, said Miss
Boyd.
Under the new systema parent or
close relative of a CWAC may receive
as mneh as $25 a month. All person-
nel of the CWA'.0 will be given rates
of pay equal to 80 per cent of men's
pay ,
The Canadian Women's Army
Corps is desirous of obtaining a large
number of recruits at once to that
they can take over men's jobs. En-
quiry at the nearest recruiting sta-
tion will enable anyone interested to
get full particulars.

They are thiere the Canadians,
wherever they are needed, parrying
out valiant deeds at sea, living up to
the record their forbearers hung up
and justifying the pride we have in
them.
The increase in personnel of the
Royal Canadian Navy and the Can-
adian Merchant Navy, plus the fact
that so many seamen are using our
Pacific ports now as well as our At-
lantic ports, makes the task of the
Navy League of Canada in catering
to their wants that much greater.
More clubs have to be established
to handle them when ashore and
more woollies and ditty bags and
magazines have to be collected to
take care of their physical and men-
tal needs when -at sea.
To those who wish to thank our
sailers for their fine work and gal-
lant actions (and we all should), we
'would point out that anybranch of
the Navy .League in Ontario can be
the practical messenger of their
thanks. Contact your nearest branch
of the Navy League and put your
thanks in practical form.

Spring Lamb Comes
Under Price Ceiling
Spring 'Lamb is now under a price
ceiling, itis announced by the War-
time Prices and Trade Board. The
ceiling will be effective until, August
31.
The move was made because spring
lamb prices this year did not fol-
low last year's pattern. In 1942 car-
cass prices started to drop about the
middle of July. This year they have
remained at a high level, In West-
ern Ontario carcass prices, wholesale,
will be 30 cents a pound.
The order requires that spring lamb
be sold at wholesale only in the form
lof carcasses or sides. Affected by the
new order are all lambs born in the
current year or in December, 1942.

ONE PICTURE A WEEK
11
Pictures from home mean a lot to men and women In Service. Send them.
at least one a week, starting now.
A FRIEND of mine has just made
1-1- what I consider to be one of
the most practical suggestions of
the season. H0 said, "Just think
what it would mean to the men and
women in Service, if the folks back
home made just onepicture a week
to send' to ,them at camp."
Think of that yourself. Think of
how much it would mean to your
friends and relatives if you made
just one or two pictures a week to
keep them informed of what is hap-
pening while. they are away. I can
tell you right now they'd treasure
those pictures; They'd pass them
around and it would give them a
bigger thrill than you could ever
imagine.
Some people, I know, might feel
'that it is difficult to find enough
Subjects for that, but it isn't at all.
Once youget started on such a pro-
gram you'll find that ideas keep
coming to you so fast that you'll
want to make Ave . . . six:. , . maybe
a dozen pictures before you stop
shooting. '
For instance, let's take a soldier's
dog as a typical subject. Every aol.
dier 'wants a picture of his dog, and
300 can send him close'ups, action
shots, or pictures of the pet with.
members of the family, without
beginning to tap the picture pos-
sibilities. And if you're interested in
other subjects, just look at the
family itself. There's no end .to the
possible pictures there. They range
from pictures ' of Mother and Dad
working around the house, as in our
illustration, to pictures of Sis in her
new evening gown, or Thiele Henry
when he comes visiting. Any one of
those subjects would be sure to
bring a big smile when he Lets the
snapshot.
. Furthermore, you don't have to be
the world's best photographer to
make the kind of snapshots the boys
like. What they actually are looking
for are the pictures you can make
with the old family camera. And
they don't want big enlargements-
ordinary prints will be best. -•
So get the "one a week" picture
habit now. Your Service Man or
Woman will appreciate It, and you'll
be using your camera to help keep
morale high. - John van Guilder
