THE WINNER
From the letters received in our
recent 'contest "Name Your Favour-
ite Band And Why You Like It",
the one sent in
by Bill Goodrich
of Cardinal, Ont.
was selected as
best. Bill sounds
as if he really
bends the old ear
when his`favour-
ite haul. is on
Cr- air, and
seems to under-
stand what it 's
all about.
Bill writes: t ' my opinion that
the "King of Swing" Tommy Dor-
sey has the best band. I like T.D.
for many reasons but the first and
foremost is because every man in
his band is given a fair chance. 1
mean he does not hog the solos.
Tommy also gives hi: vocalists
smooth background with his soft
brass section (on sl ew pieces) • nd
A '1 blended saxophone section. Fin-
ally his fast pieces are extremely
instrumental. - Your friend, Bill
Goodrich.
A young fellow we know from
Whitby, Ont„ also entered the con-
test. He is about 10 years old, His
name is Murray Wade and here is
what Murray had to say: 1 like
Sammy Kaye s band because (1) 1
listen to Sammy every Monday night
(2r he seems to have lots of swing
in his band. (3) Sammy sounds like
a very swell guy to get along with.
-Murray Wade.
We seldom receive letters from
fellows as young as Murray, but we
are very pleased to receive them.
Thanks to all who entered the con-
test. We hope that you will all
enter again next month and many
more as well. You can read the de-
tails of the February contest at the
bottom of the column. In the mean-
time, the personally autographed pic-
ture of Vaughan Monroe has gone
out to Bill Goodrich with our best
wishes.
Our Apologies To Colborne
For some time now we have been
spelling Colborne as Colhourne and
the gang down there have taken us
to task for it. We offer apologies
to the Keen klub and hope that Bill
Tye and several others will quit
kidding our Colborne correspondent
Bev. Wilson about it. Glad to hear
that some of you came to Bev. Wil-
son's aid in securing new material
for her dances and Club meetings.
Bev. asks me to thank all who
arswered her request for help.
The Keen Klub of Colborne is
holding a dance in February to
raise funds to purchase a new record
player. That Klub is quite interested
in findir g out who a person by the
name of 'Square -toed Muginty" is.
.Seems that they received a letter
from this character- who suggested
„ they raise their admission from 10c
to Ile and that they hire a rambling
corn -boy orchestra and have some
square dances. No one can figure
out who the ron-de-plume belongs
to, and it really has them guessing.
This Is Valentine Week
This Saturday keine St. Valen-
tine's day we are reminding all you
guys out there to get your shopping
done early, If most of you are as
forgetful as we are, you'll need a
little reminder about now. P.S. We
were • going to write a Valentine
poem, but after the insulting re-
marks following our Christmas
effort, we'll be hanged if we will.
Make up your own lousyarems,
What's Wrong Out There
From the little bit of correspon-
dence coming in here it would seem
as though our eorrespontlents are
still getting over Christmas -or else
things are generally quiet around the
Province. Don't forget to send in
all the news of your Club activities
to this column, that others may keep
up-to-date on what you are doing.
How about letting 'is have your new,
Slate of Officers for the year 1948.
OUR FEBRUARY CONTEST
This month we are offering a
lovely autographed picture, suitable
far framing of "The Golden Voice
Of Radio", Wishart Campbell. in
75 words or less tell us who your
favourite radio singer is and why.
Remember, it must be a Canadian
Radio Singer. These pictures are
personally autographed and well
worth having. This contest is open
to all Teen-Agers in the Province;
you have a chance to win every
month, so get busy now. The Feb-
ruary Contest closes on the Twenty -
Ninth of this month, and the win-
ning letter will be announced and
:blished two vreeks after. Owing
to the fact that' we are suffering
from a heavy siege of the flu, we
are going to stop right here.

Good Story -Teller
Pretty and shapely, and with an
air of sweet trustfulness, she was
bent on purchasing a sweater. The
susceptible young clerk eagerly
displayed his stock.
"Now this", said he, holding up
a softly -tinted garment, is just,
the thing for you, worth twice
the money. It is the latest design,
shrink, and it's a good yarn."
"Yes", came the soft rejoinder,
"and very well told, too."

CHRONICLES OF GINGER FAM
By Gwendoline P Clarke
Sometimes t think that just as
Sunday was appointed as a day of
rest - which a frequently isn't - so
Monday was surety designated as
washday for women because so often
Monday is the only day in the week
when washing c, be done with any
satisfaction -that is if one wants to -
hang it out and have it at least half
dry. I never gave the matter much
thought until last year and then I
began to take notice -and act ac-
cordingly. And so it happened that
when a friend phoned me quite early
last Monday and said -"Are you go-
ing to wash today?" -1 naturally
answered -"I expect to." But then 1
added -"But why -what had you in
mind ?"
"Well, I thought I would come
down for the day, but if you're wash-
ing maybe I hadn't better."
"Why not . . come anyway , . .
I11 be through by ten -thirty."
* * *
So my friend came to visit -
arriving at 8.451 -sat with ine as 1
worked, helped when she could, and
exclaimed at my good fortune when
she noticed that Partner took over
the job of hanging out the clothes,
Personally, I think that a splendid
idea. Gentlemen please note: The
easiest way to catch cold -or worse
--is to hang ant clothes after get-
ting overheated at the washing ma-
chine or tub. The chances are you
will only have one wife so why not
try to keep her as long as you can?
After dinner my friend and 1 were
sitting in the living -room discussing
what I had in mind for redecorat-
ing. "It's too bad you are not ready
-we could have stripped the paper
of today," said my visitor regret-
fully. i looked at her, sensing the
fact that being an active woman she
was already getting tired of doing
nothing. So I 'answered -"But I am
ready -we can go at it right now, if
you likel"
And we did. By five -thirty the
walls were bare.
So, that my dear friends, is the
way 1 entertain visitors. Was my
friend bored? Well, she phoned next
day and told me when I was ready
to paint she would love to come
down and help. As I have said, or
inferred, in this column upon other
occasions - I think people enjoy a
visit far better if they are not treated
as "company"
* *
And what of the room? Well,
the weatherman put an end to my
enthusiasm.' All my efforts for the
rest of the week were spent in
keeping, or trying to, keep, the
house reasonably warm. But in
that I did not succeed, at least not
as i"ng as the wind was blowipg.
When it dropped, we were snug
as could be- even at sixteen below.
Or was it that on one of "those
cold days I had a letter that warm-
ed me right to the cockles of my
heart? This was a letter from a
friend in England who wrote -
"I AM COMING!" just like that
-in big capitals.
Tentative plans are that she will
arrive by air for an extended visit
at the end of her present school
year. I suppose there will be the
usual red tape to go through -we
must guarantee to be responsible
for her keep while she is Isere as
five pounds is as much as any-
one is allowed to bring with them
from Ei,gland, but she hopes to

be able to do something to pay
her way. As to that, 1 have been
given to understand that no per-
son visiting in Canada is allowed
to take a salaried job -just ds a
protection to Canadian citizens -
but I suppose there would be no
objection to anyone picking fruit,
or fi"ing in wherever there is a
temporary shortage of help. In any
case I am not worried.
* * *
Another letter we got this week
was from a friend - in Canada --
recently
recently left a widow, and to our
distress she wrote -"I am having
such a time because there are five
years' income tax returns to make
outl" Will people never (earn?
Just imagine that poor little
woman, who has never been re-
quired to help with financial mat-
ters, to suddenly find herself faced
with such a gigantic task. 1 sup-
pose her late husband was one of
the many who, if the Government
did not bother him, thought it was
all right to let well alone. But a
day of reckoning always comes -
and it isn't the government who
loses out.
Surely the least any man can do
for his wife is to so arrange his
business affairs that „she will not
be unduly embarrassed if, and
when, she is left with the full bard•
en of responsibility.
TABLE TALKS
An Easy Answer
To "More Cookies"
You will be prepared for the un-
expected guest if you make a prac-
tice of keeping a roll ,.f cookie
dough in the refrigerator. When
guests "drop in," or one , f the
youngsters asks for a treat, cut
soma thin slices from the roil' and
pop them into a very hot oven.
They take only 10 minutes to bake.
Here is a basic refrigerator cookie
recipe, which makes about 700
cookies, and some variations:
Refrigerator Cookies
las cup butter
1 cup other shortening
2 cups sugar
3 eggs
31/2 cups pastry flour
2 ts baking powder
ria ts salt
Cream butter, shortening, and
sugar. Beat eggs and add. Sift
flour, baking powder and salt to-
gether. Work gradually into mix-
ture. Foran into rolls. Wrap in
waxed paper and chill in refriger-
ator. When cold, slice thin. Bake
10 minutes in hot, 400 degree F.
oven.
To make the variations, divide
the dough after mixing it into
three portions and put each in a
bowl. After a variation is made,
form into rolls, wrap in wax paper
and put in the refrigerator.
Marmalade
Flavor with %z teaspoon vanilla.
Form into rolls, wrap in waxed
paper and chill in refrigerator.
When ready to use, cut -very thin
slices. Put 1 teaspoon orange
marmalade on one slice and top
with another. Press edges together
and, bake.
Chocolate Nut
Melt 1 square chocolate and add
to dough. Mix well. Add % tea-
spoon vanilla. Work in %z cup
chopped walnuts.
Spice
Add 1 teaspoon allspice and 1
teaspoon cinnamon to basic dough.
Sugar Cheapest
Of Energy Foods
While costs of most commodities
continue to rise, refined sugar re-
mains the cheapest of all staple
foodstuffs available to Canadian
consumers. A survey just complet-
ed at Tatham, Ont., shows the
cost of sugar to the householder to
be five cents per 1,000 calories -a
full 50 percent below the cost of
bread which places second on the
list of low-priced energy foods.
Third from the standpoint of econ-
omy are potatoes at nine and a half
cents per 1,000 calories,
Winter cabbage costs the con-
sumer no less than 31.18 per 1,000
calories, C sts o' ot:,er staple food
products per 3,000 calories follow:
Rib roast beef 791/2 cents, back
bacon 32 cents, cheese 25 tents,
butter 21 Cents, milk 20 cents, rice
11 cents and white beans 10 cents.
Chopped walnuts may be worked
fn.
Pinwheels
Flavor with 1 teaspoon vanilla.
Divide the dough in half, Color
or,e part with a few drops red
coloring, or. with melted square of
chocolate. Roll out both portions
of dough separately on waxed
paper. Lay the colored portion
on top of the other, and then roll
the two together from one long
edge, until both sections form one
long roll. When sliced, each cookie
will have a spiral of color.
Black and White
Divide dough in two,one por-
tion larger than the other, Flavor
larger portion with % teaspoon
almond flavoring, and set aside.
Melt 1 square chocolate and add
to smaller portion. Flavor witl
teaspoon vanilla. Form into long
roll on waxed paper. Take second
portion and roll out in waxed
paper to width of about three
inches and length of 10 inches.
Place chocolate roll on this por-
tion, and wrap almond -flavored
dough around chocolate core.
When sliced, and baked, there will
be a chocolate center bounded by
a wide cream border.•
Orange
Mix 2 tablespoons strained
orange juice with dough, Grate
. skin of orange, and work in.
Lemon
Mix 2 tablespoons strained lemon
juice with dough. Add grated skin
of lemon.
A Change -
The vicar was paying a call on
some of his parishioners whom he
had not seen for some weeks, ; rid
his laat visit was to one of the
oldest residents of the village.
After the preliminaries were over,
he sat back to have a chat with the
old man.
"1 understand you have a son in,
Hollywood. Do you see him
often 1often r he asked.
"Ah, he's been home every sum-
mer for five years."
"And does he bring his wife with
• him?"
"Ile does, sir. And five fine gals
they were."
