THIS MODEST CORNER IS DEDICATED TO THE POETS Here They Will Sing You Their Songs --Sometimes Gay,,. Sometimes Sad—But Always Helpful and Inspiring. DREAMS Keep thou' shy dreams—though joy should pass thee by; Hold to. the rainbow beauty of thy thought; It is for dreams that men will oft- times die- And count the passing pain of death as nought. Keep thou thy dreams, through all the winter's cold; When weeds are withered, and the garden grey, Dream thou of roses with their hearts of gold— Beckon to summers that are on their way. Keep thou thy dreams—the tissue of all wings Is woven first of them; from dreams are made The precious and imperishable things,. Whose lovliness lives on and does not fade. —Verna Sheard,. ENGLAND, MIGHTY ENGLAND (By Evelyn Starkey) Ye waves that compass England, And round her white walls sigh, Well may ye raise so proudly Your showy crests on high. Search through your wide spread ocean Wherein ye make your home, So great a nation never Was sprinkled with your foam. Oh England, happy England, The land of peerless mirth, Gcd and thy sons have made thee The fairest land on earth. Oh. hearts that beat for England, Beneath her banner still, Gcd and the right to aid us, Press on through good and ill. What though we die for England? She lives for evermore. Om fathers died for England A thousand years before. Oh England, Mother England, The land that gave us birth, To alt thy sons and daughters The greatest land on earth. Great monarch of the nations And ruler of the sea, What words can ever utter nur pride and love for thee? The sun on thy Dominions Shall neves cease to shine, And all thy faxspread children In life and death are thine, Oh England, mighty England, The land that we adore, Gcd give thee greater glory And guard thee evermore. WOMAN'S KINGDOM Within four walls a woman may Create a world of sweet content, Where kindness blesses every day, And lovliness to life is lent. With gentle words, unselfish deeds, And love that helps when things go wrong, She ministers to other's needs, And changes sorrow into song. So small a world, perhaps it seems? But to the ones who call it hone, It is fulfillment of their dreams— Their harbor light when they must roam. Inevery woman's hand there lies, Perchance unused, the golden key TO happy, homely paradise, Her kingdom of tranquility, —Claire Ritchie. THINGS TO FORGET if you see a tall fellow ahead of the crowd, A leader. of men, marching fearless. and proud, And you know of a tale worth telling aloud Would cause his proud head to n an- guish, be bowed it's a pretty good plan to forget it. If you know of a skeleton hidden away Irl a closet and guarded, and kept from the day—. In the dark — and whose showing; • whose sudden display Would cause grief and sorrow and lifelong dismay— It's a pretty good plan to forget it. If you know of a. thing that will darken the 'joy Of a man or a woman, a girl or a boy That will wipe out a 'smile, or the least way annoy A fellow,, or cause any gladness to cloy— It's a pretty.good plan to forget it. • SUNSET Go down•. to the lake at sunset Leave Lhe world with its troubles behind, Take along a trusted companion, The one who is most le your mind, Sit on the bench together And say to the sun good night— And do not forget to say thanlc you For the day it has filled with. light. Tune in, if you can, the message The twilight is trying to teach, The peace and calm of Nature -- It is there within your reach. See the hand of the Master Artist Weaving his colors true, With never'a flaw in the picture Ana that picture was made for you. —By John Beattie, Seaforth, in The Globe and Mail. BIRDS (By Moira O'Neill Sure maybe ye've heard the storm - thrush Whistlin' bould in March Before there's a primrose peepin' out, Or a wee red cone on the larch; Whistlin' the sun to come out o' the cloud, An' the wind to come ever the sea, But for all he can whstle so clear an' loud, He's never the bird for me.

With some diffi mg have no recollection of the time when their homes were lighted by the tallow dip, and later by candles. In pioneer days those who were reading or writing sat within the very small circle of . the light and the rest of the family chatted in the dark. On specal occasions more than one candle was used. Unless there was company, and this seldom hap- pened in the evening, the hour of re- tiring was very early and not a great deal of work was done by either of of these modes of lighting. The method of candle makng was very interesting. As a rule. beef or mutton tallow was used, although the former was preferred. It was found that the candles made from it were white and harder. Previous to melt- culty hepolished the glasses again and the light shone out as brghtly as before. What lesson can we learnfrom that? We may, at some time have taken Jesus Christ, the Light of the World, into our lives,and have lived joyously in Isis' .company. Then, by degrees, we allowed the tempter to come in. When he once gets room for the thin edge of wedge he will keep quietly shoving until he has our lives in hie grasp; All this time the mimeo bf our lives which at one time re- flected His life in ours is being re- flected. His life in ours is being covered over with earthly sins, and it may take a hard knock to bring bring us back to Hine Mg of the fat in the big cauldron We firmly believe that God has wicks had ' been attached to long allowed this dreadful state of the eticke. These were dipped slowly in- to the hot fat, were plaed on a stand and were' allowed to cool.. They were redipped until the right size was at- tainedTheir own weight kept them straight, but it took a • practiced hand to snake a good job. Special candles were made in tin moulds, some of which may still be found in the older homes. The wicks were strung in the middle of the mould and the wax was poured in. As this required steadness to clo it properly it was usually left to the young people of the house. Any that were not of good shape had to be re - remoulded. It was found that they could be decorated and made to look very pretty. These were used in brass br sliver candlesticks, or in candlebra while the dipped over were used for ordinary or kitchen use. They were stored away for future use in paper lined boxes. The older people will remember the first lamps which were used, while those in middle life can recall the first hanging lamps. It was a great occasion when this lamp was un- packed It was usually hung from the parlor ceiling. In many of our farm honies today lamps of some sort are still being used.. In towns and cities gas lighting was then installed, and now electricity takes first place. One can hardly realize the difference be- tween a room lighted with a tallow dip and the brilliantly electric -light- ed room. With the use of the latter world to come upon us because we have wandered away from Him. It is not necessary to enumerate the things of 'the world which we have allowed to come into our lives. We ourselves know only too well what they are. - Many years ago in England lamps were hung in the church steeples and in front of dwelling houses. Later in the evening a watchman could be heard going around calling out: "Hang out your lights." That is the call of the present day and of the future. It may be some ef ne have taken the salvation which Christ of- fers, and yet the light which we re - fleet to the world its darkened. Christ says in Matthew 5:113: "Let your light so shine before men that they niay see your good melee, and glorify your Father which is in Heaven. Let us immediately trim our lamps and show to the world what Christ means to us, and what we would like Him to mean to them. Why will we not say: "Oh, Lord I want to some out of the darkness on into the light." The day had gone; alone and weak, I groped my way within a bleak And sunless land.

Peaches and cream have long been a favorite dessert, and the Consumer Section, Marketing Service, Dominion Department of Agriculture, offers these suggestions for serving this popular dish. Select well ripened peaches. Dip them into boiling water to loosen the skin for easy peeling. To prevent dis- coloration, drop; them into a thin syrup or into a weak brine solution — 1 teaspoon salt to 1 quart cold water. Serve well chilled. Brown sugar and peaches are an interesting new flavor combination. Fruit salads, featuring peaches, and served with a cream dressing, offer many' tempting variations. Peach shortcake, whether made with a plain cake base, or with a hot bscuit• mix- ture, is another favorite for late sum- mer menus. Serve this with a gener- ous amount of whipped cream. Merin- gue nest filled with peaches have a very festive appearance, and then the many tasty dishes calling foe cooked peaches. Recipes for several of these follow:— PEACH MERINGUES 4 egg whites 1 cup fine white sugar le teaspoon vanilla, Beat whites until stiff, Add sugar very gradually. Add flavoring.

EUROPE FACING FAMINE Dr. Cassius Way, president of the American, Veterinary Medical Asso- ciation, said today that the dangers of famine and disease throughout Continental Europe during the com- ing winter were more imminent than most persons realize, The New York said in an inter- view at the organization's annual meeting that the combination of ad- verse weather, poor crops in many sections and emergency killing of thousands of cattle, sheep and horses for food will result in an eight- month siege of hunger and possible starvation for millions of people. tie based his statements on observa- atons made during trips through Eng- land and the continent during the last four years and on reports from Eu- ropean colleagues in recent months. "Disease is the great spectre fol- lowing in the wake o£ hunger and malnutrition in Europe , today," be said. "In many parts ef Europe thousands of cattle, sheep and horses are being killed for lack of feed and for immediate human food needs. When these resources are used up the people will not have available the animal- proteins and the vitamins which can be obtained only from meats. The substitution of vegetable proteins acrd vitamins is not enough to supply a normal diet. "Further damage is sure to result from the spread of animal diseases, some of which can be transmitted to man, as armies march back and forth, and Germany will suffer as much as the conquered countries in this 'mutual exchange of bacteria and viruses." 90#,ILESS 010.1.E,SS VaitESULTS EASY OPENING TIN- CANNOT • SPILL uo Cleaning hints: Sprinkle powdered starch over your grey flannel suit, rub in gently with a piece of clean flannel , fold up and leave for two days, then shake well and brush with a clean, stiff brush. i Prime Minister Churchill's elo- quent tribute to the Royal Air Force: "Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by se many to so few." a icSNAPSNOT GUftD TAKING ANGLE SHOTS n this shot, the "up angle" view is the natural one. Don't be afraid to tilt the camera when the subject is suited to an "angle Shot." "LT OLD your camera level"— that's what the instruction books say. But it all depends on what you're shooting, and in some shots you get a more interesting effect if the camera is pointed up or down. When you're taking a picture ef your house, Ike camera .should aI- ways be perfectly level. That also holds true for other subjects with vertical lines, such as tall trees— provided you want the vertical lines to appear as you see them, With the camera tilted up, these lines will slope toward each other; and your house, for example, will appear smaller at the top, There's a very simple reason for this. When the camera Is tilted, the top of the house is farther from the Lens than the foundation. And, as you know,anything at a greater distance from the camera will ap- pear smaller ,in the picture. However, in many cases, the sub- ject calls for a tilted camera. Con - sitter the picture of the little girl on the balcony, above, This is just the way the balcony would appear from the front yard or walk. There. fore this picture—taken with the camera tilted up -gives the most natural effect. In the same way, a picture of a person or group in the front yard, taken from the balcony, would be very effective — especially if you stood back in the doorway and ins chided a small part of the balcony railing. That would show how and where the picture was snapped. These are more or less "normal" viewpoints, but often an unusual viewpoint gives an interesting ef- fect. Place your camera near ground level and tilt it up, to take a picture of a golfer or tennis player—and the effect is more dra- matic. This is known as a "worm's eye" view. "Bird's eye" views, wlth the camera quite high and tilted down, are also good for many sub- jects. Experiment with camera angles. Your view finder will show you, in each case, what you can get. Al- ways make the viewpoint suit the subject --and you'll get lively, eye- catching, effective pictures. 294 John van. Guilder
