When we look at other parts of the world and see tha treachery there is behind their rulers we thank our Hea- venly Father that we have rulers who are really and truly beloved by their peoples.

King and 'his There has been talk recently in the Consort. One of the chief of these is their human interest in everything which in any way effects their peo- ples. So often even before the war we saw pictures of then talking to dif- ferent workers and although they vis- ited such places time and again yet we knew there as a genuine interest in their observations and in their talks with the custodian of the goods or with employees with whoin they con- versed. One can just imagine there going back to their palace or to their apartment, as their home now is, land talking over many of the points in the manufacture which they had seen and heard. Their humility is something which came accustomed to using a special gun, We can just imagine him de fending his dear ones. Just recently the King took the risk of going to North Africa to con- gratulate his troops in the great work :,'papers of a search for a husband for Princess Elizabeth. It is indeed a good things that now even Royalty has some say in the choice of their future 'life partner, During the terrible strain through which our King and Queen have pass - red, and are still enduring in the home - ''land, the work that has been done by 'them is marvellous. The King is never out of uniform kand in their home life they live very simply being under„ the same rule as their subjects, even to the use of ra-- tion books.

Many ub-ject..Many times they hale shown a sympathy which will never be forgot- ten. We wonder why it is they can go about without a guard. A Londoner once said; "I bet ole 'Icier wouhln't come among his people like this with- out a body guard, "Why? Our King and Queen are so beloved by every- one of their subjects, that. any ono of use would protect ;them even with our lives." From theineginning of the war there is on thing which has broug cour- age to our hearts: Throughout crisis after crisis we have had the assurance that God must be on the side of a na- tion whose King and Queenand so many of whose leaders are uteri and women who have given Jesus Christ first place in their lives. Very seldom have either Icing Geo- rge or Queen Elizabeth broadcast a message to the people of the world that they have not given first place to Him Who is the Head of their hone. King George V and Queen Macy had the same faith: We can quite imagine our Sovereigns and the Princesses at some time during the day meeting for the reading of a portion of God's word and 'a prayer, to their Saviour for' guidance. - Should we not Learn anything else from them let us make it a point 50 follow thein in this respect—Pus ev- erything else to one side and give Je- sus Christ first place in our lives.

Hello Homemakers! Ontario's last perishable fruit of the season is rip- ening, and the time is truly ripe to fill any jar you have left with grapes. grape juice to be served hot or cold; I suggest as a sauce to top des- serts, or jelly for breakfast. This delicious fruit is quite inexpensive, and the period required for cooking or canning is usually short, Fortunat- ely too, grapes are easy to 'do down'. Be sure to choose compact bunch- es of large, firm grapes for quality and flavour. The deep, rich, blue Con,. cord grape is the favourite with many homemakers.

V • Ceiling Price on Grapes Of interest to Wesitern •Otitarflo farmers is the announcement of a price ceiling on grapes, effective September 6. Prices are listed for six quart baskets. Blue or white variet- ies, sold by the grower to wholesalers shippers, truckers or retailers who op- erate warehouses separate from their retail outlet and take delivery at such a warehouse have a maximum price of 36 cents for blue and whites; 39 cents for the Black Roger and red varieties. Prices to any other type of retailers is 41 cents for blue and white grapes 45 cents for Black Ro- ger or reds. Growers selling to con- sumers have a fixed maximum price of 55 cents a basket for blue or white varieties and 60 pants for Black Roger or reds. V Wash grapes, remove from steins Place in pan and steam until soft without adding water. Cook apples until tender and press through sieve. Add sugar, vinegar, salt and spices. Simmer- 20 minutes on electric ele- ment turned to "Low." Seal in clean, hot jars. TAKE A TIP When making grape jelly. Long cooking is apt to destroy the natural pectin which gives the grapes their perfect jellying property, so it's wise to use a Mettle with a wide base—the juice boils up faster. Jelly is best when made in small quantities—one to three quarts of juice in a ten or twelve quart kettle. The time required depends upon the ripeness of the g'r'apes and the rapidity of boiling. Use the "sheet" method to test the jelly. Let a small amount of mixture drop from the side of a wooden spoon —when the drops flow together and drip off, jelly is done. Be sure to star mixture frequently as it jells quick- ly. Grape jelly tend to crystallize — esipeciallyt if the grapes ,are -real ripe. To prevent this, add chopped tart apples to the mixture and cook together. To one quart of grape juice add• one medium sized apple, cut in pieces, removing core only. The apple will improve, the flavour. too. Remember to satin the grapes in making grape jam or preserves and cook the skins by bring to a simmer - When Truck on Business There is no law against a farmer's wife riding to town or to market with her husband in a truck operated by him if the truck is carrying pro- duce or other freight. Since a farmer was tined for having his wife as a passenger in a truck considerable confusion has arisen among rural re- sidents. According to the regulations farmers or anyone operating a truck may carry two passengers in the cab when the truck is on a business trip. Pleasure riding in trucks is out for the duration itt order to prevent any abuses which may arise because of the fact that trucks are permitted greater allowances of gasoline than pleasure cars. grate. In other instances, however, where exhibition livestock has to be hauled beyond 35 miles from the truck's re- gistered address a permit must be ob- tained from the services administra- tion. Arrangements Kaye been made, said Mr. Carroll, whereby the applica- tion forms for these permits can be secured from the agricultural repres- entatives in each county. The agri- cultural representatives are required to endorse. all applications before sen- ding them to the Wartime Prices and Trade •Board, which will issue the 'necessary permit to enable exhibition livestock to be moved over 33 miles by truck. All livestock breeders who contem- plate sending their stock to fall fairs and exhibitions are advised to make; application to their county agricul- tural representatives well in advance of the date of the fairs, to as to make allowance for unavoidable delays in the issue of permits. Horsehair Being Sought By the Government Urgently needed in the manufac- ture of brushes, for mattresses for the navy and cushions for army ve- hicles, horsehair is being sought by the Dominion government. Farmers may sell to pedlars, dealers in wool and fur and will obtain better prices if they separate the tail hair from the mane hair combings and remove dirt and other extraneous matter. Pur- chase and sale from the dealer is car- ried on through the Commodity Pri- ces and ,Stabilization Corporation. V Farmers Must Collect Coup- ons When Selling ?Syrup Preserve rationing regulations which went into effect during the first week of September permit produc- ers of honey and maple syrup to use more than the ration allowance in their own homes and by members of their own families. It is expected that these producers will obey the spirit of the ration regulation and conserve as much as possible. Farm- ers selling honey and maple syrup must collect ration coupons. Farmers' wives who can or preserve• fruit and sell it must also secure coupons be- fore sales are completed. Those who cannot obtain or do not wish to trade their D coupons for preserves, jellies or marmalades may buy sag- ing point only; boilingtoughens the °I.'One D coupon is good for one- half pound of sugar. There is no re - skin. THE QUESTION BOX Mrs. T. C. asks: Is it possible to use corn syrup tins for canning= tomatoes? Answer f• Yes. Scald the tins and striation governing the use to which this sugar may be put. •V Provisions Being Made to Exhibit Live Stock V Girls selected for Cooks in the R.C.A.F., upon completion of basic training at ,Rockeliffe, take their course at the 'School of Cookery, Guelph, Ontario. _ • Small Arms Ammunition Restricted Sales of small arms ammunition have been restricted. Sportsmen hun- ters will not be given permits for any supplies this year while farmers are asked not ta, make application for permission to buy ammunition unless no other means than shooting can. control pests to stock and crops. Af- fected by the regulations is the Pelee Island pheasant hunt scheduled for October 28 to 30, Canadian partici- pating must use supplies -they have saved from previous years. Ameri- cans must bring their own ammuni- tion when they cross the border. Scholarship At the recent departmental exam- inations, Miss Winni£red Russell, don; ghter of Mrs. J. B.

Watch out for distracting elements in both the foreground and.background, If you'd produce "story -telling" snapshots like this. 'TO TAKE appealing pictures, well - organized and pleasingly com- posed, we must train' our eyes to view a scene in the all-inclusive manner of the camera lens. If untrained, the eye conveniently ignores most of a scene, and ob- serves duly its interesting points. But the camera literally "sees all and tells all," missing nothing. Therefore, if we choose a picture subject which is surrounded by dis- turbing detail, or has a background that is spotty and confusing, the obedient camera records it faith- fully—and our picture, when print- ed, offers an unwelcome surprise. Iu such a 'case it is wrong to blame the camera. We should place the blame where it belongs—on our own carelessness and haste. "Look before you shoot" is a car- dinal rule of good picture talting. Observe more than the principal subjeet. Study the foreground that will appear in the picture. Examine the background. Make sure that the setting is faulted, and helps the effect desired. If it doesn't, change it—either by adopting a different viewpoint, or selecting another lo- cation. Those who take 31110 pictures think of these things. It's not difficult— Just a matter of observing, studying a 'scene, really "seeing" .it before you snap a picture. Any amateur can form the habit of thinking be- fore he shoots -and it is such thought, rather than trick gadgets or magic formulas, that produces excellent pictures. John van Guilder
