This was a pre -Easter hunt stagedby a florist and the raft of bunnies you see are mostly Middies in rabbits' clothing, 141111114* .-� )'TABLE TALKS ciam Andrews Some experts has figured out that H each of as would eat a dozen ,eggs more this year then we did last, there wouldn't be any surplus —and no more' talk about Govern- ment price support. More eggs . mean better nutri- ment. For eggs, like milk, stand close to the top of the best foods we have. And eggs have one ad- vantage over milk—they conte a- ready packaged and protected. In that package you. get a .com- plete protein, as good as lean neat —and, at present prices, a good deal more economical. You also get Plenty of iron. and vitamin A, both of them especially good for us at this time of year. And don't forget that while the yolk makes up only about a third of the contents of an egg, it's even richer than the white in percentage of protein, and contains nearly all the iron and vitamins. It's rich in fat too. Here's a mighty fine cake that takes care of a lot of extra egg yolks—a very handy recipe to have some time you've been baking an angel -food cake for "company." k * tk GOLDEN YELLOW CAKE 234 cups sifted cake flour 34 teaspoon salt 234 teaspoons baking powder W4 cups sugar 3/4 cup butter 8 egg yolks 14 teaspoon lemon extract 34 teaspoon orange extract 34 cup milk 1vMETHOD: Cream butter and sugar. Beat egg yolks until very thick; add to sugar and butter. Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt, three times. Add flavoring to the milk. Then add, alternately, flour and milk (about one-third at a time) to the creamed mixture, beat- ing after each addition. Bake at 375 degrees. Use three of your nine -inch 'layer cake pans on two 12 -inch. 3 e F There are hundreds of recipes for cooking chicken, but probably nine- ty per cent of them call for youth- ful birds—young broilers or plump roasters just at the peals of matur- ity. But, as most of us know, there are times when we have to deal with a fowl that can be called a chicken only as a matter of courtesy. When you find it necessary to tackle such a one, I think you'll enjoy this Dr. Henry Bowers, principal of the Normal School at Streit ford, Ontario, who will auto- matically become president of ese Ontario Educational Asso- ciation cluring the 90th annual o convention of this organization in Toronto on April 10, 11, 12 and 13, Dr. Bowers, who this year has been vice-president of the O.E,A., will succeed Mr, S.

Docs that cookie jar still show those familiar symptoms of empty- ing itself almost by magic? it's something that's been happening for a long, long time—and will probably continue while there are "young 'uta" around.

"Romance" Not The Proper Word We're sick and tired of radio an- nouncers and newspapers and ma- gazines using the word "romance" in connection with the sordid In- grid Bergman case. The word "romance" to most per- sons has clean, exciting and beau- tiful implications. It has no connection with the Rossellini- Bergman mess. The wc,rd that apiies is "cheap." Let's keep it on that level—the gutter level, which if is—if is considered so "im• portant" that thousands of words must be spokenand written about it.—Oregon Journal. The successful marriage is usu- ally a three-ring affair — engage- ment, marriage and teething, NDAY SCHOOL ESSON By Rev, R, Barclay Warren THE CHURCH SUFFERING AND TRIUMPHANT 1 Peter 4:12-13; Rev. 7:9.17. 43olden Text—If we suffer, we shall also reign with Him, II Tim. 2:12a Jesus warned his disciples that great suffering would befall them, When Nero became emperor (54 A.D.) the severe persecution soon began. In order to cast off suspi• cion from himself for the burning of Rome, he blamed the Christians. Many were crucified; others were covered with pitch, nailed to posts and burned. Paul was beheaded and peter crucified. But Christians view suffering differently. Peter said, "Rejoice, in- asmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that when His glory shall be revealed,' ye may be glad also with exceeding joy Tradition says' that when the sol- diers were about to crucify Peter, he requested that he be put on the cross with his head down, as he felt unworthy to be crucified in the sane position as his Savior, lie and others felt that it was an houor to partake of Christ's sutlerings, John's vision of the reward for those who are faithful' through their tribulations is of great comfort, "They shall hunger no more neither thirst any more—God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes." The glories of heaven will be ample reward for all the suffer;ngs of this present age. In some lands Christians are suffering today; especially where communism is in control. In our land the Christian may be taunted because he does not run with those who do evil. It takes courage for your people to take the unkind remarks, but since they have greater riches and enjoyment in the service of Jesus Christ, they have every reason to rejoice.

In the decade ending 1950 more than two wildfires swept the forests of this continent—an average of almost 600 per day. One single fire. laid waste a strip 25 miles wide and 120 miles long. The number of trees destroyed would have built 2,500,000 five -room houses; and billions of little trees were killed that might have become sorely needed forests fifty years from naw. Without live trees to hold and "soak up" rainfall, costly land erosion begins, the soil carried away by flooded, muddy waters in which no fish can live. Danis silt up, ruining sources of hydro -electric power. A devastating cycle of flood -drought -flood begins, wrecking farms and hurting every con- sumer and taxpayer. Let's all resolve, here and now, to do our part in saving our irreplace- able forests. Put out all lighted matches. Never throw a lighted cigarette from a car. Extinguish alt camp fires—with water. Never leave a rubbish lire unattended. And urge constant care on others.
