"SALA wv++w«M What We Coming:. To? ...,....�... By "PEG" Whatever is our world coming to? "That is the part of the world in which 'We are living, where we are not ac- tually engaged in fighting. Just let us look around us, those who are able to get out and about and see what is going on. One' night re- 'eently in one of our city street cars two comparatively young women be- tween the ages of twenty five and thirty, if that might be called young now were sitting side by side. They 'were beyond all reason intellectually. Drink had taken away the little sense they had left. They got off at one of the worst corners in the city. What -would happen to them before they reached their home or boarding house only God knows for they were so far under the unfluence of liquor that 'they could not possibly be conscious •of what they were doing. An elderly man and woman came and sat oppo- site thein. The pained look which came over the motherly woman's face showed that she was much griev- ed by what she saw. Such a sight is by no means un- usual in our large cities. People in the outlying district are often told that they have no idea what is going on about them. Ones heart aches for the girls themselves and also for the par- ents who must spend many anxious hourson e w nd rnnq what their loved ones are doing. The question arises who is to blame for that sort of thing. The answer is "You are and I am" all those of vot- ing age most hold themselves respon sible. Either we do not go out to vote at all; we do not read up the platform of the different parties, or we are afraid to vote as tvo think right. So often people say "One side is just as bad as the other." At times we read the different platform, we go to hear the speakers and we think we are voting to the best of our ability, In many instances we do. Ori one of the recent elections the candidate call- ed on someone whose vote he was so- liciting, After some conversation the! one being called on said "Those ques- tions are all very well, but what T want -to know is just what stand you are going to take when the liquor, question comes up." "Oh" said the] man I am going to do everything in my power to down that awful curse" `faking the man at his word the voter went out and voted for the candidate, Can one be surprised at the feelings of that one when the newspaper re- port later on ,the session quoted this is someway t0 maintain peace in the home Time and again mothers will tell their problems and one feels. so sorry for them. They some home from work to which they are not accustomed and have to start into housework. The daughters go to school or maybe they too are working. • Tri former tines the mothers stayed home and the housework was pretty well done up when the daughter came home- but things are different now.. At times the daughter does' not realize the mother is tired: They both have frayed nerves, one thing leads to an- other and soon words are said which can never be recalled.

It seems that no matter what people are losing respect for the mo - walk of life we are in there are people thers and fathers who have tried so who are afraid to take a right stand hard to make life as pleasant as pos- and stick to it. It is the same in sible for them or would it be possible that parents are so busy with other things that they are failing in their responsibility to those whom God has given them to care for, and for whom they must some day answer to Him.

A little lad or lassie who has just reached the tod- dling, stage, and not yet able to speak intelligently will turn on his or her parents with a scowl and nutter something in baby talk. Parents,' aunts and uncles, we all think it is funny, we say he will get over that, t maybe so, but it is much easier to train a child at a year and a half than it is to teach him what is right at four or five.

Economist VALUABLE EGGS Hello Homemakers! Eggs are eggs these days! The cold weather has made the hens "climb into their shells"—few eggs are available yet. Frankly I think we were spoiled with sueh easy -to -prepare products. A cook never feels really stuck if she .has a few eggs and a few ordin- ary staples. Eggs give us a liberal supply of body-building and tissue -building protein, also a good amount of the vitamins which protect us front eye weakness and nervousness. Eggs that are ;properly cooked are easily digested. With this in mind, the wise mother will see that her busy little run -about of 3 to 12 years of age gets the eggs simply cooked (coddled or poached). Then here are the recipes to use when eggs are scarce.

The announcement was made follow- ing complaints from many parts of the Western Ontario region that tra- vellers visiting small towns, in outly- ing districts have asked for two cups of,coffee at a meal, arguing the re- gulations have been changed.

Canned Vegetable Distribution Frozen in warehouses for several months canted vegetables have been released and! are now being distribut- ed to retailers for sale to consum- ers. According to W. Harold McPhil- lips, it is expected that if consum- ers and retailers practice normal buy- ing and selling• habits and make good use of the supplies of fresh and stor- ed vegetables the supply of canned vegetables will be adequate to sup- ply needs during the coming winter. Slaughtering Permits The suspension of quota restrict- ions on hog's, recently announced by the Dominion Department of Agri- culture has no bearing on the noses- sity of slaughterers operating under Wartime Prices and trade Board Rules, Western Ontario offieials porn-• ted out at London. An integral part of the meat rationing program, meat slaughtering peririite are still requir- ed. The statement read in Part, "The announcement of the meat board has nothing to do with the slaughtering regulations of the Price Board These regulations were put into effect when !meat rationing was introduced, since it was imperative that some system . be established whereby a proper 'check could be obtained on the amount !of pork going into consumption. The same regulations were made to apply. to the slaughter of 'beef, veal and lamb. To operate meat rationing sue- ! cessfully ue!cessfully it was obviously important for the Board to know where all meat supplies were coming from, and to put some regulations into effect to govern the marketing of that meat in accordance with the rationing plan, V More than 100,000 youths are mem- bers of the Royal Canadian Army Cadets.

Don't feel handicapped If yours Is an inexpensive camera. MOST amateur photography fits into one of tato groups --out- door pictures in daytime, or indoor pictures at night. But there is an- other interesting field which all too few amateurs explore—and that is, picture -taking outdoors at dusk or at night. Good after -dark pictures, taken outdoors, appeal because of their very novelty. And good twilight Pic- tures possess a rare, mysterious quality which lends distinction. But not many people realize that either of these pictures may be made with any camera that has a time expos- ure setting, Here are some suggested expos- ures for different subjects at night,. based on the use of high speed pan- chromatic filen, in box cameras, or finer cameras set at 1/11, Street scenes, store windows, one to fifteen seconds. Somewhat less when snow is on the ground. Twilight scenes, 1/5 to two sec- onds, with such subjeots as city sky- lines silhouetted against the dark- ening sky. Electric lights should appear several times as bright as the sky when the exposure is made. Pictures by moonlight (not of the moon), on a clear night with a high full moon: for average subjects, 25 minutes; nearby landscapes, 7 or 8 minutes; distant landscapes, 3 to 4 minutes. When snow is on the ground exposures may be shortened about one-third. For daylight effect, multiply the recommended expos- ures by 4. Good outdoor shots of these types may taken at any season: now, or late this fall when rain or snow adds light and sparkle • to the night Iandscape. However, don't think that you have to go out in the rain to get your. pictures. The best time for rainy -night scenes is just after the rainfall has stopped, but while everything it still shining and drip- ping Use these suggestions now. Retain them for further use next fall and winter. John van, Guilder
