That's when appetites lag—and drop to zero. However—eat eve must —there's work to be done! * s * * Big bowls of crisp salad—platters of cold meat—and tall, frosty pitch- ers of iced tea—(mint-becl'ecked)— are summer day life-savers. Hot muf- fins or a steaming vegetable casser- ole may be added to the menu for variety's sake. Try serving fruit in season with real cream (very cold). Don't forget to chill the fruit and the howl --or the water ice and the glass sherbets. * * * r Your dinner menu should begin with a good, nourishing appetizer -- cold tomato juice --apple juice—or jellied consomme. In order to elim- inate extra work for the busy home- maker of today—try these new entree dishes—chicken .and vegetable mould —moulded salmon loaf—or vegetable soup salad. There are several reasons for foll- owing this advice. The food tastes good—Ws good for you—and it's a thrifty, appetizing 'way to use up "left -overs", which your electric re- frigerator has kept in constant moist cold. In this way you can .make fresh, tasty dishes with even the smallest bits. Eggs or cheese work into these entrees, too—and don't forget to use the right kind of seasonings. Mould entrees in individual cust- ard or timbale cups; they take only about 15.20 mimics in your electric refrigerator. A great advantage about this kind of dish is that you can make it early—before the heat;of the day—and then forget all about it— till just before serving. The following foods may be pre- pared days in advance: Salad dress- ings, salad greens, washed and ready for use; pastry, cake batter or bis- cuit dough may be made several hours in advance, gelatin salads and desserts, custard sauce for puddings and lee cream mixture, etc. These preparations keep in a per- fect state in an electric refrigerator if they are covered closely. Because there is a constant, cold atmosphere in the cabinet the chemical action of the leavening agents such as baking powder, baking soda, etc., in dough or batter will not be destroyed..

Thanks People of Huron County For Success of Victory Loan Goderich, Ontario, June 27, 1941. In the last war, Canada found its nationhood; in this war that nationhood is being put to the test. How well Huron County has met the test has been demonstrated by Canada's Victory Loan appeal. The first six days saw our quota achieved and exceeded. The hearthstones of this Country are safe so long as that spirit endures. Huron held its proud record of former days and to the people on farms, villages and towns, belongs the credit for a job well and willingly done. It is my pleasant privilege to thank those who have been associated with this campaign for their splendid efforts. You have written your own eulogy in terms of tangible pat- riotism with a spirit that words cannot describe. Deep ap- preciation is therefore extended to the honorary and . active officers of the loan committee, to those who canvassed, to those who gave of their personal time and material, to the press and radio and to the people of Huron county whose im- mediate response to the appeal, emblazoned their "Torch of Victory" on the Dominion's highest scroll of honor. J. D. THOMAS, Chairman, Huron County Victory Loan, 1941.

Brat Agents: Queen's, Commercial, Dick Hous THE SUEZ CANAL—AXIS OBJECTIVE Front the Canadian Institute of International Affairs The Suez Canal has been describ ed by Mr. Eden as a "main arteria road" for the British Empire. Since its construction in the latter half of the nineteenth century it has served as the main route from Britain to her empire in the East. It has re- duced the distance to Bombay from 10,500 to 6,200 miles, to Singapore from 11,400 to 8,100 miles, and to Sydney from 12,300 to 11,200 iniles. Since the development on a large scale of war in the Medltervaneab almost all shipping to the east has, however, been diverted to the old route round the Cape. Nevertheless, the Suez Canal is a vital channel through which war and other sup- plies pass from all parts of the Em- pire and lately from the United States to Egypt and Palestine. Con- trol of the Canal is essential to the carrying on of naval and military campaigns in the Middle East. Its seizure by the Axis would not only force the Allies to adbandon the. Mediterranean, but it would also give the enemy a. sea route to India and the east coast of Africa, and a break through the British blockade. The Canal runs 101 miles through Egyptian territory from Port Said on the Mediterranean to Suez on the Gulf of Suez which connects with the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean. Un- like the Panama Canal, which was cut through uneven country and de• pends on highly vulnerable locks. the Suez is simply a channel dredg- ed through the Egyptian sands. S]nc•e improvements were completed in 1933 the Canal will permit passage of vessels up to 45,000 tons with a draught of 36 feet. Its surface width varies from 400 to 500 feet. The largest vessel to use the Canal was the "Empress of Britain" (42,000 tense Of great importance is the fact that it niay be traversed by any ship of the British navy. Even the "Hood", which had a displacement of 42,100 tons, a beans of 1051 feet, and a draught of 281 feet, could have passed through Suez. The usual length of time necessary to pass from one end to the other is some- what over 11 hours. Contrary to frequent assumption, Britain never has "owned" the Suez ('anal. In normal times, it is govern- ed by a Company with 19 French, 10 British, 1 Dutch and 2 Egyptian members. The offices etre in Cairo and Port Said with the administra- tion centred in Paris. The British Government appoints three of the ten British directors and holds 44 per cent of the Company's shares. The Company is an Egyptian comp- any. and since the collapse of France the local officials have been running the enterprise to a large ex tent on their own authority. Because the Canal is so vital to the strategy ,:i nations, its international status is )trtaerved try a Convention of 1SSS signed by Great. Britaitr, Fr'aOCP. Ger- many. Austria-Hungary, Daly. Holl- and. Russ:a, Spain. and Turkey, ac• ct,relirg to which the Canal is to be free in time of war as in peace and never subjected 10 the exercise of. the right of blockade. This provision became of considerable importance during the halo -Abyssinian war when there was discussion of closing the Canal to Italy which had no other route of supply for her aggres- sion 111 East Africa. In actual fact, although no Axis ships can now pass through Suez, this situation is due not to the closing of the Canal to them by Britain but by the fact that the British Navy is able to preveut enemy ships from approaching the entrances to the Canal. According to the Convention of 1888 the Sultan of Turkey was given special powers relating to the defence of Egypt and Suez, but after the last war these power's were transferred to Britain which has the right to close the Canal for the defence of Egypt or the Canal itself. With Germany now able to bomb the Suez Canal region from bases in Crete or Rhodes, the question of the C'anal's vulnerability has arisen. To the west of Suez Is General Wavell's army of the Nile and the great Egyptian desert. To the east is the desettt of Sinai and the armies in Palestine. By treaty with Egypt Bri- tain has for some time had the right to maintain air forces and armies in the Canal zone, and one may assume that anti-aircraft and other defences have long been in place. It is ques- tionable if a canal like the Suez could actually be put out of commis- sion by bombings. But its shipping is open to attack, and the Germans are reported to have attempted to lay mines in the Canal from airplanes. The entire canal is regularly swept to prevent this serious menace. The most scrupulous care is taken to prevent suspicious ships of any kind from using the channel, for there is the constant danger of deliberate scuttling. The blocking of the chan- nel which might be caused by such scuttling has possibly been exagger- ated, for a very close watch is kept on all shipping and tugs are con- stantly ready to push a sinking ves- sel to the bank and keep the main passages clear. At Ismailia, half way along the (:anal. a co-ordinating foree of all three services maintains a defence patrol MILLION MAGAZINES A YEAR Bombs and U-boats have failed to stop the flow of books, magazines and periodicals going overseas from Britain. In the month of February the leading British firm of whole- salers, which handles about half the total trade, dispatched to oversea customers about 85 tons of reading matter. including 35,000 magazines and periodicals. Britain's revenue from the sale of books amounts to over £4,000,000 a year, and it is striking evidence of the demand for English works abroad that this represents nearly one,half of Britain's home trade of £10,000,- 000. Its value to Britain's war effort is shown by the fact that a book sold at. say. 7/8, costs only'3d. or so in imported raw materials. About 75 per cent of Britain's ex- ports go to the East. especially Inclia and Malaya: the rest is fairly even- ly distributed throughout` the rest of the world. All kinds of books, from technical treatises to the latest pop- ular novel. are included. In a typical parcel now an its way to Peru. for example. were "Their Finest Hour," Allan Michie & Walter Graebner's picture of llritain at War.. Grey's "Anatomy."; Mrs• Becton's classic "Everyday Cookery'; Black's "Meet- ]i'al Adviser"; "Aeroplane Studies"; Bartholomew's "Atlas of the World"; and Sir Bannister Fletcher's "Com- parative Architecture." Dmitri Demonstrates His Camera Skill Ivan Dmitri, one of the world's greatest color photographers, demonstrates his uncanny skill at Mount Edith Cavell, Dmitri has a party of camera enthusiasts at Jasper Park Lodge from various parts of .Canada and thirteen states in the United States. In this picture he is seen, crouched in the centre, after he has called the proper timing and exposure to h few of the 34 members of the party and is showing them the correct angle for a picture of Ernie Neiderer, well known Swiss mountain guide of Jasper, and little Dickie Johnston, of Minneapolis, who is with the party. Inset shows Dickie close up, all decked up as a mountain climber. Dickie had a great time on the trip to. Mount Edith Cavell and is a great favorite with the party.
