needed.
It is true that there have been
those who were quite content to stay
at home and have a good time. but
they have been the exception. There
are many who have learned life les-
sons -during the summer holidays. They
have acquired the ability to meet the
public, they know more of the value
of money than they ever did before
and they have been part of a great
co-operative system. In years to come
they will have the satisfaction of
thinking "I was not old enough to
join any branch of the forces, but
I worked hard to do my7 bit towazds
filling in. the place of some one
who was needed in a more contplicat=
ell position."
Did you ever stand and watch a
•'team of horses pulling a heavy load?
The one was trained to pull, but the
• other was just being broken in and
had not yet learned the meaning of
"get up" and "whoa" and consequent-
ly was always stopping when he
:should have been going on and -help-
ing to carry the load to its destination
'The result was the Ioad would be left
.standing in the middle of the road.
The story is told of a heavy engine
being moved on a wagon by' six mules.
'The bank of a little stream they had
to cross was soft and *he teams were
unable to pull the wagon. As a cense
queneethe drivers were becoming very
-angry when a little ladstepped up
sand said 'My amcle Audy' could drive
that team" He :hurried away and
brought 'Uncle Andy' en old colored
man who lived on the farm. The old
man came quietly, went to the team
in the front, spoke kindly to them,
and rubbed their great shoulders
gently then moved on to the next
team and the next, treating them all'
in the same way and 'talking to them
in a quiet torte. Then he made sure
the harness was alright and gather-
'ing up the lines he gave a sharp com-
mand and with perfect team work the
load was taken over to the other
side. The animals seemed anxious to
••do everything in their power to corn-
zplete the job.
From that story we learn the won-
derful thought of co-operation. We
'must have the ability- and also the wil-
lingness to work together.
During this year as perhaps never
'before people have learned to work
'agreeably with one another.
Many, little more than children,
have been anxious te do their part and
we must say that in the majority of
eases they have worked hard and
well, and have enjoyed making the
effort necessary to fit into the plans
provided for them. All honor to the
children and youth of our land who
have put forth an effort to help in
these tines when help is so badly
The time is past when even child-
ren should feel that their summer va-
cation should be one long holiday.
There is work to be done and everyone
has a part in it.
There are many places in life,.
where we must learn to co-operate.
The first and perhaps most important
of these is the home. Very often it
is the fault of parents if aII do not
work together there. Bvery mother
and father knows that there is often
the setting up of even a baby's will
against their own. Such a commotion
as it does cause. At tines a child will
refuse to eat his meal because it is
not just to his liking. Recently this
happened at the dinner table, the
father said John, the food in front of
you is what is necessary for the
building• up of your body. If you do
not care to eat it just go to your room
and stay there till tea time. Perhaps
by that time you will feel thankful
to eat what has been provided for
you, Mother and I have stood all we
intend to of this nonsense."
There are many' ways of dealing
with ehildren and it takes a great
deal of prayer and patience to bring
up a family. Some one has said that
!no one can bring up a family like an
hold maid" aunt can bring her nieces
and nephews "May be they would have
their difficulties at times too. The old
saying "Spare the rod and spoil- the
child" may be true, but in many cases
the continual application of the rod
will do a great deal of harm to a sen-
sitive child. Quite often the, bad tem-
per of the parents is behind it all.
Allowing a child to work will at
times be the means of helping there
over a trying period in then life.
Some parents say "We can afford to
keep our children. We do not thinit
it is right for them to work in their
young days. This applies more par-
ticularly to boys than to girls, who
can always help in the housework.
A real true mother will find a way
to teach her daughter the wonderful
art ofkeeping house.
A young lad once had the opportun-
ity of securing a paper route but' Ms
other t o r thegrounds m 1 objected n gr u ds that
it was net neeessaq for him to
work. That evidently was true but
look at what that lad . lost in "r his
young days. He would have been fill-
ing in his spare time with something
which was useful and profitable, he
was learning to form the habit of
being prompt and then he had his
own money, which was all the more
precious to him because he had earn-
ed it himself andwould, under instruc-
tion the first few times, be able to
budget his account each Saturday. He
was also learning to be courteous- to
people .in his dealings with them and
was not expending any more energy
than he would be in strenuous play.
Do not think that children must al -
way work. A certain amount of play
time is due to every child but if a
young lad or girl is ever going to be
worth anything they will show that
ambition in their young days and that
ambition should be encouraged rather
than discouraged. Your child with a
good start in this line in their young
days will carry it through during the
years to come.
In teaching a child to budget iris
account never lose sight of the fact
that one-tenth of his earning belongs
to the Lord, who gave him everything
he has:
The question often arises of wheth-
er children .should be paid for doing
little things around the house when
this method it followed it surely must
give the child the thought that lie is
not part of the home he is just being
/paid to help. It is not a better idea
to grant a boy or girl an allowance
of so rnueli a week with the under
standing that he or she will help
when occasion anises without any ex-
1tra remuneration. After all they are
in the home as a son or daughter and
lit should be the pride of each one to
Ido all in his power to keep the home
nice. When these things are explained
Ito children they will be glad to co-
operate.
Some girls say "I never do any-
thing at home. Mother does all the
work" Yes we have all heard moth-
ers say "I would. rather do it myself
than try to teach Jane to de anything.
Mothers, whose fault is it if Jane is
not qualified to do things around the
house? You have had the training of
her. In all probzbhility when she should

is due to the mothers who have had

in their proper place when they were
taken off. Many writers in giving ad-
vise to mothers advise these things be-
ing taught as a game.
As a consequence of this lack of
training we have many girls grown
to womanhood and getting married

about housework, What a tragedy! It

"I really do not know a thing about

We believe that our Lord from his

work in the home and in the carpen-

to follow in His footsteps in this as
well as in all the other ways of Him
who Iived and died that we might
have life everlasting with Hinz and
with our loved ones whom we have
loved and lost a while.

Uplift and heal and gladdest,

May naught that's in me sadden

Why should I not be willing
To serve Thee with my days,
When Thou art ever filling

Why should I not show others

TOMATOES ARE A GOOD
SOURCE OF VITAMIN. C
Hello Homemakers! , T'omatoes are
our second-best source of Vitamin CI
m
(Ascorbic Acid), which we ust have
in adequate quantity in our daily 'diet
to keep the mouth and gums hi good
conditionand aid in building sound
bones, teeth and blood vessels. Citrus!
fruits—oranges, lemons, grapefruit,
tangerines, are the best. In ease
supplies of these may be curtailed we
who live outside the citrus belt should
eat raw tomatoes and juice generous-
ly, and can all the surplus home-
grown and market -bought tolnatoes
possible. Then we will have- an inex-
pensive source of vitamin 0 for the
winter and spring months. Itis like-
ly that commercially canned tomatoes
and tomato juice will be available
for those unable to can at home.
Luckily, tomatoes and tomato juice
are easier to "put down" than most
products. Although some Vitamin C
is lost in hone canning, the following
methods will prevent the loss of the
least number of Vitamin C units.

oven canning?"
Answer: Place the jars in two cake
pans with an inch of water in (jars
one inch apart. Do not use broiling
pan unless the bottom is flat, The
electric oven is preheated to 300 deg.,
then the jars are put in and reset to
375 deg. If the temperature falls low-
er (as indicated by the • oven. light)
notice the time when temperature is
again 275 and calculate 35 minutes
cooking time. Do not open if there
is a space at the top — this is a vac-
uum.

Duplicate Invoices on
Eggs Must be Kept
Under the regulations covering
maximum prices, wholesale ceiling
prices of eggs are governed by• the lo-
cation of the buyer and not of the
seller. A recent order fixing the pri-
ces of eggs permits movements from
producing areas to consuming areas by
reducing the price one-half to one
cent in producing centres, and increas-
ing it by one-half cent in consuming
area. Farmers, as well as other egg
dealers, who sell eggs wholesale must
cover each sale with a. duplicate in-
voice showing the name and address
of buyer and seller, the date, grade
and price, and as a separate item any
charge for packing in cartons. One
copy of the invoice must be kept on

also includes any veal having the fol-

STORY -TELLING PICTURES
17
The snapshot of the boy and his model airplane makes an excellent
single picture, and offers, too, excellent material for a step-by-step
picture sequence.
CSANY picture that tells a story—
no matter how simple or every-
day the story theme—is usually in-
teresting. Today, however, a new
storyform is receiving wider and
wider acceptance—that is, the pie-•
turosequence.
When a story is told in one plc-
tare, •details must often be omitted.
It is necessary to extract the essence
of the story, and to summarize it
in a single moment, But In the plc-
ture series or sequence, a In,
is
told step by step. As many stops or
details, can be presented as the story
demands, and, in addition, the lapse
of time can be shown.
Consider the picture shown here
of the email boy completing an air-
plane
irplane model. As a single "story-
telling" picture' it's excellent. But
couldn't this etory be told even more
impressively by a step-by-step pic-
ture sequence?
The first picture in such a se-
quence rnight show the youngster
poring over blueprints. The sec-
ond, laying out material on a woric
table. The third, forming the skele-
ton on the model. And so on until
finally, with a proud smile, he
launches the plane for its first
flight.
This is but an outline. Probably
you can think of other steps, but
that's part of the fun of planning
and executing such a picture -story.
It's Iike writing a movie scenario—
and' there are dozens of simple
everyday stories around any home
that can be told easily and best in
sequence form,
See if you can't think of at least
one or two today. They're splendid
training for more advanced picture
making, and they'll Certainly make
a big hit with any Service man.
