WHEAT GERM AND
YOUR CEREALS
Hello Homemakers i Do you use
wheat germ in your home? Too few
people seem to know about it.
Wheat germ is taken out of the
wheat at all milling companies
where wheat flour is made. It's a
valuable cereal food and fortunately
it's cheap. Don't expect it to be a
"cure-all" — since no one food is -
but it does promote tissue building,
stimulate the appetite and maintain
digestive tone. The amount neces-
sary is one tablespoon daily served
on top of your cereal just as it
.comes from the package. It's an easy
'way to make sure of your Vitamin 31.
Wheat germ is excellent in Vita-
min Bi value — one of the vitamins
Canadian diets are most often defic-
ient in. 100 grams (about % cup)
contains 700 internationalunits of
B1, our daily requirement. As a.
source of Riboflavin, it is high in
potency and it also contains Vitamin
E and Nicotinic Acid. Scientists tell
us that the body absorbs twice as
much Iron and phosphorus from
'wheat germ as from an equal
amount of white bread.
It is a good idea to buy your wheat
germ in small quantities art it is hot
easily stored for long periods. If. you
seal it tightly in a glass jar, . it will
keep for at least month. Be sure to
store it in a cool, dry place — the
electric refrigerator is just the spot.
.And .now, with cereals in mind, we
present a few new recipes.

Summerless Year
In 18.16
The long, cold winter and chilly
spring will likely enough be followed
by ideal weather, but to delvers alto
history they recall the fact that the
year 1816 'ryas known in history as
"The year without a summer.." Early
settlers in Ontario suffered in the
"Hungry year" of 1787, when, cite to
weather or ,pests, there was • practic-
ally no crop, and when the few Loy-
alists on their little farms were driv-
en to eating grass, leaves and bark,

In 1816 New England and presum-
ably adjacent Canada were afflicted
by frost every month from spring to
fa11. Never be -fore, to human knowl-
efige, 01 afterwards, was there such
a summer. Even on the 4th of July
Americans were wearing heavy cloth-
ing, Jocular folk who had endured it
used to refer to that season as "Eigh-
teen-hundred-and-
Eigh-teen-hundred-and- froze to - death."
Though it would seem that enough
grain and roots were harvested to
prevent famine.
Temperatures in Canada are re-
corded in the Jesuit Relations of the
seventeeth century but not until long
afterwards were there any regular
weather bureaus in America. Wash-
ington established the first, and
pt'e-
seiitly, In 1840, the observatory was
founded in Toronto, still the centre
of Canada's weather service.
Bat an American writer estimates
that in 1816 there were probably
fewer than ten nteteorologcial sta-
tions in the northern United States,
and all operated by amateur scient-
ists, who kept sporadic records Fair-
ly complete memoranda survived at
Sharon, Connecticut, and 'Philadel-
phia, but the most comprehensive,
including the year 1816, was data
made at Williamstown and New Bed-
ford. Records from the latter place
were published in book form in 1850,
and contain a curt narrative of queer
events.
The year 1816 began auspiciously
enough, the January average temper-
ature of 21 degrees Fahrenheit being.
hardly lower than usual in that era.
February was inordinately mild.
March, as usual, averaged around 29
degrees and farmers had, in view the
cnstomair plans for seeding. Skunk
cabbages came u'p 'above. ' the dead
leaves in the bush, blue hepaticas ap
peered in spots, robins and bluebirds,
full of song, .were back from the
South:
Then came April, which averaged 3
degrees below normal. Laymen may
not be so impressed with this but it
is sinister to meteorologists, for an
April 'temperature 3 degrees under
the usual figure means an. April with
some very cold days.
People grumbled at the time but
felt that May would more than make
up for the deficiency. May, however,
,brought only consternation. June was
worse still. At noon on June 5th the
temperature rose to 83 and people
hoped that the, world . was getting
back to' normal, Then, shortly after
noonthat very day, a curious cold
wind cane out of the northwest. It
blew harder and colder. The sky grew
dark and thunder rumbled. Rain
came down in cold gusts and squalls.,
Farmers staggered in from their
fields bewildered: The tmeperature
dropped steadily, 5, 10, 20, 30 degrees.
By. 7 o'clock in the morning -of June
6th the mercury registered 45 degrees
—the warmest all day.
. All over New England snow was
falling. Zadok Thompson, • in his His-
tory of Vermont, states that in many
places the snow lay 6 inches deep.
At Plymouth, Connecticut, a blizzard
blew for over half au hour. Off and

riage by her father, looked lovely in.
a street -length gown of gold silk
crepe with matching hat and veil and Want and For
black shoes. Mrs. J. F. Watts, the
bride's sister, was matron of honor,
gowned in pale green with hat and
veil in matching shade. The best man
was Corporal William Smythe, and
the ushers were Leading Aircraftman

parents, where Mrs. Holmes received,
