It was our Nanny who said to me That Canada's French as French can be, • She said we might see the Quints!. And that is a thing I would love to do— But what is Canada like?'" "The towns are the same as towns, And so are the friendly farms, Airplanes mean safety instead alarms, And apples shine on trees like towers, The rain comes down in sheets, not showers, The rivers are 'wider than any of ours--. That's partly what Canada's like!" "But Canada seems so far away— I think perhaps I had better stay! The air raids are nothing', they're just like play— I enjoy my gas ;mask now. Canada seems so far away— And don't you think so too?" "I think I shall put you to bed my, dear, • Nanny is out and the skies are clear— See, the same old star burns there and here, And you and I are alone. So we'll talk no more about it, my own—• I knew you were half asleep!" "But mother, who planted the Liberty Tree? Why can't we stay here and both' be free? Will Joan and Mary be going with me, And lots of others we do not know, All of us on the children's ship— Leaving you here alone?" "You will "ride safely over the sea!

Sands that for cen- turies Have heaped hi pallid mounds their shifting might, Encroaching till but tender tips of trees Show green above their drifts of desert white— Where the blue waves of West Lake's lovely bay, Come Iapping gently with a sough- ing sigh, They stretch in dream-like beauty far away, Outlined against the azure of the sky! Here Nature an intriguing wonder rears— Long rolling dunes of sand, That move with subtle footstep through the years Obeying but their own command;. Insidious they take their silent way, Seeking impeding barriers to de- vour, And mock at feeble man's attempts to stay The challenge of their slow, resist- . less power! ALICE KATHRYN GOULD. Bay of Quinte, Ontario supreme THE CHILDREN'S SHIP our dear of Fears By "PEG" In our makeup, connected with our. lower eye lid,' there is a well, if such it might be called, commonly known as the tear duct. When this is open- ed, always voluntarily, we express. certain emotions. Some people have oiled this valve to such an extenethat it opens very' easily. In other eases, on account ofit being seldom used, it becomes, so to speak, rusted. "It is just too bad," might be said in both these instances. The person who has no control of their emotion's, and who curies about everything, becomes a great btu:den to themselves as well as a trial to others. On the other hand, one may boast they never ery. There must be many times in their lives when itwould do them good to shed tears. Let us just look at a few in- stances when tears are not justifiable and when they are. Tears of Sorrow One out of thousands of children's voices Wafted over the sea, asking— "What's Aemricra like?" "Is American sky of an English blue, Just like the sky that we always knew? Will the ship be painted a camou- flaged hue? Where shall we land, and what shall we do? "What's America like?" "America, dear, is a beautiful land. Because its shores are free; That's where they planted the Liberty Tree. You will ride safely over the sea....

COOKING 4.44.444 with the person injured and then in order to get relief from the feeling of regret we can "Take it to the Lord in prayer." Tears of Thanksgiving Do we shed as many, tears of thanksgiving as we should? Even m this troubloue world we have .a great deal to be thankful for and during these trying days we should continually thank God for the mir- aeles He is performing on the side of right. The majority of people are given their health and strength and those who are laid aside may have a feeling of. thankfulness that they are no worse than they are. God does not require us to shed tears to show that we appreciate what He has done for us, but He knows it if we do. We can tell Him about it as we "Take it lto the Lord in prayer."

There is apparently only one reason and that is such a good one that the riddle is immediately solved -crabapple jelly of course. For those of you who live in the country, crabapple jelly is one of the most economical delicacies that can be produced. All you have to do in most cases, is to take the fruit right off the trees in your own back yard. City women will, of course, have to buy the fruit which will be on the mar- ket early in September, unless they are fortunate enough to have country cousins with an extra supply. Crabapple jelly is a particular fa- vourite with the male population who like it'with lamb especially and cold meats of all kinds. We don't sug- gest that you go in extensively for making this jelly but as many bottles as this recipe produces, will see you very nicely through the winter. When a garnish for cold meats is indicated, there is no better- answer than this. jelly.
