GER ARM iewmcicitin.e. P. Clevrke What would we do without our Federal Government? We just wouldn't- know anything, that's what. For instance, if we didn't have the Federal Govermnent to us, how would we ever know *he cost of living index had gone glows? And it has, you know—the says so-eand it has figures to prove it. I forget just what fraction of one per cent it had gone down inat no doubt anyone who is curi ous could get thatinformation from asIY government official. Bet do You know, as I heard the "good thews" I Wondered how many fig - toes it cost the taxpayers to have that cost of living index tabluated and broadcast to the people/ And after the decrease- was an- nounced what 'happened? Tea went up in price, coffee went up; like- wise coal, milk, insurance premi- ums, motor and driving , permith, and even the price of admission to mar local movie theatre. Also the rent on safety deposit boxes. There may also be a dozen other items that I have forgotten—it is hard to keep track of them all. Of course yon might say tobacco, movies and safety deposit boxes doog belong lo the cost of living. Maybe not according to government statistics, but money for these things all comes out -of the family income. Partner says if he can't have his pipe of tobacco it is just too bad. And of course we all enjoy the occasional movie. As for deposit boxes, they are handy places to keep insurance policies andyour last will and testament.". * .And now may 1 draw your atten- japn to what has gone down—as if you didn't know, that is, if you live on a farm Eggs—that's what, You Notice farm produce is &ways the filet thing to drop in price. But ilie cost of laying mash hasn't gone " down so that eggs cost just as much to produce now as they ever „, • did although we get less for them. Personally-, we are not grumbling at the price of eggs going down— eve are only grumbling at the cost producing them keeping up. We would be quite happy with moder- ate prices for what we sell if we could buy what we need at a rea- atonable figure. The price of every- thing ie fax too high. How married people in the twenty -five -dollar -a - week class ever manage I don't know. No wonder there is a hue :and cry for margarine. Yes, mar- *rerine is supposed to be on the ket but one, grocer told me it would not be available to small grocery stores for at least ht months. * * * Maybe we are short-sighted, but at Ginger Farm we are quite in favour of margarine being available to those who cannot afford to buy hetet T have a hunch •there will Always be a strong enough prej- udice against margarine to insure; o good market for butter. So why ail the fuss? Maybe some of us forget that good old maxim—"Live and let live." If all people, in all holds,- would zbide by that simple aide for living there would never lot any wars, nor rumours of ware.

Old Nick has got into the weather' and is taking us 'all far a ride with' "his antics just lately, Remember that wind last •week? Eighty-ehe miles an hour—quite a little breeze. Around here it ripped off roofs, uprooted trees, turned over chicken houees, put electrie power out of commission and shook peop}e in their beds. We were lucky—got off with only a limb being blown Off an elm tree, a few bricks off the chimney and hydro power disrupted for over five hours --during which time another calf arrived! Why our calves have to arrive during black -out periods is a Mystery, Now the weather has changed again so- that we need skates, to let around. Just imagine, we have- n't had enough snow yet to pro- perly cover the ground. The wheat is looking pretty sick right now. We are beginning to wonder what will be the outlook for wheat and clover come spring because never before have we experienced a wine ter quite like this one. One man, who has sold his farm, contends that the outlook for farming isn't very good for the next few years. We argue that if •it isn't good for farming then it's a poor lookout for everyone. Anyway, you can be hard up on a farm with less dis- comfort than you can anywhere else. And it is much less humiliat- ing to live in the country if yots happen to slip on the ice. TABLE TABS ee come AndVeAVS. Just because eircumstancee—(my polite way of saying 'high prices')— force a lot of as to nse the cheaper cuts of meat, there isn't any neces- sity of not thoroughly 'enjoying what we eat. So mach depends on the way you cook such meat; for the less -tender cuts are every' bit as flavor -filled as the choicer ones, and a lot of front - quarter beef deserves ear better treatment than it usually gets— that is, e. trip through the meat - grinder. For instanm, there's this---. Tasty Pot Roast 4 pounds brisket or chuck 1 large onion 1 clove garlic 3 cups BOJLING water he cup vinegar 1 carrot, sliced Few sprigs parsley 2 cloves Dash of all -spice 3 teaspoons salt 14 t easp CIOn pepper Method Wipe the meat with a damp cloth, and trim off the fat to use in browning it. Fry out the fat in a. large kettle or Dutch oven. Peel 'and slice the garlic and onion into the pan; cook until soft and yellow then remove and save for later on. Put in the meat and brown it, slowly, on all sides, Then add the BOILING water, vinegar, carrot, Parsley, seasonings and the onion and garlic. Now cover tightly and SIMMER until tender — about 3 hours. Put meat on a hot platter. Strain the broth. To make rich brown gravy, thicken the drippings. Put a quarter .cup ot cold water into a small jar with a lid—(mayonnaise jar or half-pint sealer is fine), Add 2 tablespoons flour for each cop of broth. Put on the lid and shakc jar to make a smooth paste. Stir slowly into the broth. Cook until thick and smooth — about five minutes. And before you put it on the table—better tell whoever is going to carve to be prepared for 'Second Helping' 'demands. * * * Having more than a trace of Scottish blood in my veins—grace' here means something like 90 per cent-- I ant always interested in recipes that come from the beloved "Land of Calces."

Golden Text: Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you that.ye should go and bring forth fruit.—John15:16. Jesus chose men to be with him in his ministry. The purpose is expressed in the invitation to Simon and Andrew, "Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men." They were liter- ally to take men alive for Jesus Christ. Later, after spending a night in prayer he named twelve 'apostles. Among these were four fishermen and a despised publican. A simple rhyme helps us to remote - bee their names. "Peter and, Andrew and James and John— The men he most depended on; Philip and Bartholomew, Matthew next, and Thomas, too; James the less and Paul the greater, Simon the zealot, and Judas the traitor." Impulsive Peter was a born leader. He was introduced to Jesus by his brother Andrew. Andrew wasn't one -of the three who were with Jesus on some special occa- sions, bat he made a good fourth. He drew attention to the lad's lunch which was used to feed the multitude and he helped to bring the Greeks to Jesus. John was a man of great affection. He gave us the best- known verse of the Bible, John 3:16. His brother, James, was the first apeestle to be martyred. 'fhomas has been called the 'doubter' but perhaps it ehould be strewed that he had a scientific mind. He wanted the eVidence. Philip teas the practical man who looked at the crowd and said that two hundred pennyworth of bread would not suffice to feed therm Nathaniel or Bartholomew was the meditative man, "the philosopher. Simon was associated with. the Zealots, a political revolutionary party. To mar the picture is Judas. He was the teeasurer, and did some petty thieving. Finally he sold hie Lord for thirty pieces of silver. His name is a byword. It was a representative UMW of men. They did not have wealth or social prestige but it was said of them, "They turned the world up- side down."
