THP SHAFORTH NEWS THE FIXING BOWL ANN! ALLAN Nye Mwa k. e.ts IT'S HALLOWE'EN Hello Homemakers! Pass the doughnuts please! Such specialties as doughnuts, apples, pumpkin tarts, cider and popcorn are all that's ne- cessary to remind your friends of fun on Hallowe'en, Stay-at-home folks—that's just about all of us—will enjoy prepar ing their own party, the informality and the pollity of the kitchen at- mosphere. And if some of the men or girls in uniform get late leave, they may come right into the kitch- en, too, and make themselves at home. That's when the hilarity starts—washing the apples, getting' out the popper, bringing up the brown jug of cider—everyone help- ing.

If the fat is the right tempera- ture for doughnuts, an inch cube of bread will brown in 50 to 55 seconds. If too cool, doughnuts absorb fat; if too hot, they will brown before sufficiently risen. 2. The dough should be soft enough to handle not too stiff. 3. Do not put too many into the hot fat at once. 'Tiley should come to the top quickly. 4. Avoid turning more than once, except Sour Milk Doughnuts. 5. Drain doughnuts on unglazed paper. THE QUESTION BOX Miss M. P. asks: "Recipe for a good sauce for boiled spaghetti."

Operations in Madagascar to Protect Supply Route The object of the operations which British forces are carrying out in Ma- dagascar is to deny the AXIS the use of bases or facilities anywhere on the island, Diego Suarez, the important naval base at the northern end of the island, was occupied last May to pre- vent the Japanese from taking posses- sion of Madagascar on soma pretext similar to that they used when they seized French Indo-Ohtna ten months before. With Diego Suarez in their hands, the Allies were in a position to control the western half of the Indian Ocean. No attempt was made then to do more than occupy the port and the sur- rounding country, The British Govern- ment had hoped that the Governor- General of Madagascar would allow the British Command to take such steps as they considered necessary to guard against Axis activity elsewhere on the island, The attitude of the Vichy Government, whose instructions the Governor-General follows, made it clear, however, that the British re- quirements would not be achieved by Peaceful means. The Government of the United States has associated itself with the action of the British Government in a statement which was published at the same time as the British announce- ment of the new operations in Mada- gascar, The Allies are in full accord and the military problem simple. Both American and British statements rec- ognize that. Madagascar will remain French. Allied strategy is based on the prim- ary need to keep shipping lanes open. The North Atlantic route from the Un- ited States and Canada to the British Isles is the most important of all sup- ply lines, and around it has been fought the battle of the Atlantic, which started in September, 1939, and will not end until the war is decided. Second in importance to the North Atlantic route comes the supply line from the United States and the Brit- ish Isles round the Cape of Good Hope to the Middle East and India, and to Russia from the South. After passing Capetown the ships which make these 'voyages turn north up the east coast of Africa and pass through the Moz- annhique Channel between Africa and Madagascar. Ship Sinkings Forced Action Japanese submarines have been op- erating in the Mozambique Channel, and only recntly the Comoro Islands, at the northern end of this passage, were occupied by the British. The present operations are being carried out by troops from the British Isles, South Africa and East Africa, and the South African Air Force. Gen- eral Sir William Platt, who led the forces that stormed the Italian strong- hold of Keren in Eriterea, is in com- mand of the expedition. Lnadsings, coveredby three naval squadrons, were made on a small island near Am- bnaja and Majunga and Morondava on the west coat. It appears that it was largely due to naval co-operation, and to the demonstration of sea power, that the troops were able to establish themselves on shore without' meeting serious opposition. The coastal area is low lying, hot and steamy, with rank tropical foliage, but most of the island is on a plateau three to four thousand feet above sea level. Since their conquest of Madagas-; ear in 1885, the J'reneh have construct- ed over 15,000 miles of roads, There are only 500 miles of single-track, alar- row gauge ral1way, and the capital is linked by rail with the port of Tama- Lave on the east coast. The best man road leading from Ila- junga to Tananarive le open all sea- seasons, and has only two bridges acrosS the rives' Betsiboka. Some of the other roads are metalled, but most of thele are of earth and Caii be used 0111y 14 the dry season. The Madagascar operation has dem- onstrated the steps which the Allied Command are prepared to take to safe- guard the lifeline to the armies in the Middle East, India and South ,Russia, All of these are equally affected by this operation in the South Indian Ocean. Allied air communications to these important areas traverse Africa from west to east, north of the Equator. The air routes from America and England converge on Bathurst, and from Bath- urst regular air traffic proceeds to Cairo, and from there to the Middle East, Russia and India. Week With Canadian Army Overseas Written specially for Canadian weekly newspapers by. C. V. Charters, Brampton, in collaboration will Walter Legge, Granby. After thinking back over the past week and recounting the territory covered, the places visited and the experiences that have been ours, this brief review article might well have been titled "A Week In the Canadian Army:,, It was indeed a very strenuous one, and the remarkable point is that two fifty -year-old recruits like your representatives have survived the heavy strain and have come through smiling to tell you about it, It was the thrill of a life -tine to cross the Atlantic in 91/2 hours, but almost equally thrilling and certain- ly most inspiring has been the week spent in visiting many of the Canad- ian Army units. It has been our priv- ilege to witness the most realistic Army manoeuvres and schemes which it is possible to "lay -on" when not confronted by the actual enemy. During the week we travelled close to one thousand miles by chartered bus, by Jeep and Peep motor veh- icles, in Bren Gun carriers, in tanks and on "shanks pony." We have sat in conference with General McNaugh- ton for over an hour and a half and have learned by bis friendly attitude and his cool calculating manner, and brutally frank answers to all our questions, why he is loved by all the men serving under him, and admired by Inc colleagues in high military circles of all the Allied Nations. We have chatted informally with other high Army officials, with Junior' officers and with the men in the ranks and are impressed with the fine spirit everywhere manifested, We have had conversations with par- ticipants in the Dieppe attack, some who came back unscathed and others who are now in hospital having their wounds doctored. To talk with these lads is a grand sensation. They are surprisingly cheerful and bright, no complaining and show an eagerness to tackle the job again that is most encouraging. In a later article our visit with these heroes of Dieppe will be given in greater detail. It is an inspiring story. We have seen bridges erected by a corps of Canadian 'Engineers in less time than it takes a county or town council at hone to decide on such an PAW'. THREE.

We attended au assault course and witnessed a realistic Commando attack put on by the Arrny in co-operation with the Navy—some of the personnel and the equipment used having seen action in the Dieppe raid. We saw the latest and largest Army tanks in action and marvelled at their accomplishments. We rode in these tanks, drove them, fired theri guns and gave the commands going into attack. We witnessed the artill- ery and infantry in action and mar- velled at the accuracy and precision with which they carried out their as- signed tasks. We watched the wound- ed being taken fro mtanks placed on stretchers in the field and taken back of the lines for necessary treatment. We saw the Ordnance Corps in every phase, from the large work- shops at the base to the smaller ones further down the line. They are evid- ence of Canadian engineering and mechanical skill. We gazed at doct- ors, dentists and padres drilling and going through physical training to harden them up for their duties. We witnessed realistic bayonet fighting, motor cycle corps being trained as despatch riders and provost. We heard wireless instructors ex- plaining to classes the intricacies of their war job so important to Army communications. After this first week with the Army we are forced to say that the inten- sive training being carried on here was indeed a revelation to ns all. We feel sure that the average person has little conception of the work entailed in preparing an army for battle.
