Pancakes — those good, old-time favourites — will be featured on Shrove Tuesday (March 10) in patriotic fashion. It used to be the style to serve pan- cakes on this day dotted with "gobs" of butter and smothered in maple syrup. Pancakes made of flour and milk are energy -giving; served with meat, they substitute for the proverb- ial potato; served ' with fruit they glorify the dessert course, Here's a trick ' worth knowing — a splendid way to hide lett-overs. Put pieces of meat, finely diced vegetables or chopped fruit right in the pancake. batter. Hurray!' The syrup problern is solved. Instead of syrup, try using fruit juice thickened with corn -starch (1 tb. per cup of juice). Your second problem—waste of material and time —is solved if you use otic tested re- cipes. So just stir up the batter and your pancakes will be ready to serve in an amazingly short tine -- and who doesn't like them! RECIPES Patriotic Pancakes 214: cups flour, 3 tsps: baking powder, It tsp, salt, 1 egg, 2 cups milk, 2 tbs, melted fat. Sift flour, measure and return' to sifter; Add baking powder and salt to .flour, heat egg well, add milk and stir in melted fat; Stir liquid into dry mixture and beat 1 minute, Drop hatter onto sizzling hot griddle by mixing -spoonfuls (3 or 4 to a griddle). As soon as one side of cake appdar•s bubbly, turn. It is better to turn be- fore uppper side of cake has a dry look. Bake on the other side. Do not turn cake again. This,makes 12 or 14 cakes, Pancakes for Two Halve above recipe in making pan- cakes for two, using one egg. Sour Milk or Buttermilk Pancakes Sour milk or buttermilk may be used in above recipe instead of sweet milk, Use one teaspoon baking soda instead of making powder, sifting it with the flour, Apple Griddle Cakes Stir one.bait cupp of finely chopped apples into above batter last, Veal Griddle Cakes Chop 2/3 cup veal fine. Acid to basic pancake batter, Fruit Juice Sauce Dt'ain syrup front canned fruit. Heat 1 cup to boiling and stir in 1 tb. cornstarch mixed to a paste with 1/3 cup cold water. Lemon Sauce x/c cup sugar, 1 tb, cornstarch, 1 cup boiling water, 2 tbs. butter, 114, tbs. lemon juice, few gratings nutmeg. Mix sugar and cornstarch with r{4, cup cold water; stir into boiling water, Boil 5 minutes, Take from electric element; add other ingredi- ents, TAKE A TIP: 1, In baking pancakes, the griddle (much better than a skillet since the cakes are easier to turn on it) should be sizzling hot. 2, It is not necessary to grease electric waffle iron unless fruit is added to batter, Always use salt - free tat melt fat and dip off the top, 3. Surplus fat left in pan smokes and gives pancakes a strong Savor. 4. Drop batter 'froth spoon or pitcher 3 inches in diameter, or 1 table- spoon to each section of electric walffle iron, Do not Make cakes too thick — tip pan to spread — a spoon may touch parr, causing cakes to stick, 5.

At an afternoon tea an over -plump matron was partaking generously of the tiny round sugared cakes, "Aren't you afraid to eat so many of them?" inquired a friend, "Not at all," replied the other. "They aren't fattening. They're just the 'holes' out of doughnuts."

British pilots flying Sea Hurricanes have inflicted heavy losses on enemy aircraft attempting to attack Allied convoys. Hurricanes, are ale() catapulted from convoy ships to intercept and combat enemy raiders. Picture shows: — A "batman" on board an aircraft carrier -guides a "Hurricane" into a safe landing, Malta Repays With Interest By Peter Masefield in "Britain." Malta attacks. A stream of air- craft on the offensive fly out day and night from the island, shooting up Axis airfields in Sicily and Tunisia, destroying Axis transport aircraft as they fly across the narrow seas, at- tacking shipping with bombs, torpe• does and cannon fire, Malta has en- dured inch—more than any othe island in the World, Now is the Lim to repay, and a full price is boir exacted. Air power has set Malta in a pas tion to dominate the central Medi erranean where the sea'narrows be ween Sicily and Tunis to a mere 8 miles of water. From Malta's alt fields, leveled with tremendous to from the rocky soil, Sicily is but six- ty miles away, Tripoli two hnndre miles, Tunis two hundred and fifty miles. Fighter sweeps roar over the ai bases in Sicily. Bombers can be es torted there to smash up Axis air craft on their. runways. Day and night raids over Tripoli and Tuni by Malta bombers add their effect to those of the Allied aircraft with the British First and Eighth Armies. From another point of view too Malta is playing her part in the Middle East war. The island is an in- valuable stepping stone on the air route from Gibraltar to Alexandria, From Algiers to Malta is 650 miles. Onward to Benghazi is another 360 miles, Even fighters with long range tanks slung under the wings ,can fly this route. Now at last after so much suffer- ing Malta i's playing a new part in the war in a maturer which is going to have a tremendous influence on the future. This "unsinkable aircraft carrier" can be stocked with all types of aircraft to' carry the war to the Axis on an ever-increasing scale, It 'is only beginning. There have been four phases in Malta's war since Italy delivered the first attack on June 1, 1940, Each of those phases has been bound`up, with the types of aircraft which could be operated from the island, and during the whole time up to the end of 1942 Malta's defenses have shot down more than a thousand Axis aircraft—equal to nearly a quarter of the first-line strength of the Ger- man Luftwaffe today, That in itself is a tremendous contribution, Malta's danger was obvious from the optset because of its nearness to the Italian shores, There were no fighter planes of the latest type on the island when Italy declared war, 'but Air Vice -Marshall Maynard and the few R.A.P. officers on the island brought out four Gloster Sea Gladia- tor biplane fighters from their pack- ing cases. Merely watching the Italian bomb- ers overhead could not be endured— the Sea Gladiators were assembled and down came an Italian bomber in flames. Depression turned to elation on the island. Malta had begun to pay back, l• e lg f- t t- i it d 1'I s The second stage opened early in 1941 when the Germans arrived in Sicily. A few Hawker Hurricane fighters had reached Malta by then and they continued to fly dauntlessly against incredible odds—often ten to one—and exacted a steady toll from the raiders who kept up a ceaseless attack in an endeavor to neutralize the island. There was a lull towards the end of the year, but in January and February, 1942) the Axis forces returned, determined to batter Malta into uselessness. Again the little force of Hurricanes went into action against enormous odds,. A thousand ,I tons of bombs were dropped in the first two months of the year. In March, two thousand tons rained on the island; in April, the worst month of all, six thousand tons. By now Supermarine Spitfire fight- ers were beginning to arrive—they were first in action on March 9th- and the Axis was paying still more heavily. In March a total of 140 Axis aircraft were destroyed by the fight- ers and the Royal Malta Artillery. Then in May, cause Spitfires on a useful scales, ferried by the United States aircraft carrier "Wasp." By the end of its second year of war, on June 11, 1942, Malta had destroyed 590 Axis aircraft, probably destroy- ed 231 more and damaged another 546. During this time 997 civilians were killed in air raids on the island. The Axis came hack with renewed fury as the Mediterranean war swell - Hundreds of Canadians are donating blood for the wounded through the facilities of the Canadian Red Cross every day, Without the help of trained nurses, doctors, and civilian assistants, however, this work could not go on, In the picture above the volunteer assistants are preparing equipment for the next day's work, Anyone interested in doing this type of war work should register for service either direct with the Red Cross or with the com- munity Women's Voluntary Service Centre. GREEKS AGAIN FIGHTING AGAINST AXIS: NEW HELLENIC MIDDLE EAST ARMY IN ACTION For months a Greek Army, consisting of Greek soldiers who nseaped at the time or after the Axis occupation and of Greeks resident in the fliicldle Bast, has been training in Palestine, Recently units of this army moved into the front line in the Western Desert signalling the res1inptiott of the fight against the Axis by pou'ing shells into the enemy troop -lines and doing great ed 'iii importance: A total of 150 Axis aircraft were destroyed In JulY; most of them shot down into the sea before they could reach their objec- tives. The fighters went out to meet them with new tactics and still bet- ter results, The final stage of , the present attacks clime in October, when for eight days the Axis pitted its air strength against the island's defenses—and lost nearly 140 air- craft in doing so without inflicting. any important military damage. Civ- 111,ns cuiiered much. but bore their suffering with incredible gallantry. Thanks to the tock -hewn shelters the casualties weree relatively low. Those shelters, for passive defense, and the fighters and gunners for very active attack, have saved Malta and invest- ed her with everlasting glory. And so, battle -scarred but unbow- ed, Ma1to anticipates the most mom- entous year in her history. Civilians, soldiers, sailors, airmen, ground staffs, mechanics—all look forward to an offensive which will grow in power,. in range and in effectiveness until that of the Axis is put to shame. Useful Hints To Chick Buyers Don't wait until the baby chicks arrive before being ready for them, advises George Robertson, Dominion Poultry Husbandman, Central Experi- mental Farm, Ottawa, The getting ready should all be done in anticipa- tion of their arrival. The brooder house should be repaired and thor- oughly cleaned. The 'floors and walls scrubbed down with a good strong lye solution, he says. On the floor in the centre of the house place a tin mat or a sufficient number of bricks to stand the stove on; place a guard of 1" x 3" lumber stood on edge around this leaving sufficient clearance all around the stove. Fill the space inside the guard rail withsand as a precaution against fire from the stove. On the remainder of the floor litter should be placed tq the depth of one to two inches. Where shavings or chaff is used the surface of the sand around the stove slioukl be kept free of litter. Four pieces of galvanized iron or masonite about 3' long by 18" high may be used to round the corners of the huose to prevent crowding. The stove should be lighted a day or two before the expected arrival of the chicks and should be regulated to give a temperature of 95 to 100 degrees at the edge of the hover. A guard made of either stiff Wire cloth, galvantized iron or masonite about a foot high should be. used to encircle the stove until the chicks become familiar with the source of the. heat. This guard should be set at a distance of about twenty inches from the outside rim of the hover Inside this circle should be placed fountains filled with water from which the chill has been removed, hoppers filled with chick starter mash on which has been lightly sprinkled a litte chick grit. When the chicks have been re- ceived, and the house is ready they should be taken immediately from heir boxes and put in the brooder house spread in a circle on the floor ust outside the canopy and they are well started. If for the first few 'days the chicks o not appear readily to find the hop- ers these may be placed on news ape's placed on top of the litter ound the hover and a little feed tattered on the papers round the seders until the chicks learn the °tree of supply. Remove the top hest of paper each day or of tener. When the chicks have learned to go o the hoppersthe papers should be emoved and frames 2 or 3 inches nigh and about 4 feet long and cov- red with wire mesh should be laced on the litter and the hoppers 11 d':water foundtains placed on these hfch raises them sufficiently high prevent the litter from tieing retched into them, Hoppers of chick size grit, oyster ell and charcoal should be hung at convenient height on the walls or aced on the wire frames. The circle iclosecl by the chick guard should enlarged each day until it can ,be moved as soon as the chicks be- tne. fully familiar with the source heat, The enclosed circle should large enough So that the chicks e not kept too close to the source heat, Feed chick starter for six weeks hen a gradual change is made to ewer and grain feed, t d p p s f s s t r' 1 e P Al to SC sh a pl e be re co of be ar of w gr, A woman motorist in Sandpoint, Idaho, swerved to a sudden stop be. fore the county jail. • "What's happening 3" site asked excitedly.
