Wanted to write something abou t but I find d just can't do it. Any hing I might say would mean so little to many and be totally inade- quate to others. There is inequal- ity of thought regarding Remem- brance Day just as there was ine quality of sacrifice, during, the war. That is inevitable, human nature and the forces of war being what they are. Yesterday was the first Sunday for our new minister. He had been a padre for six and a half years and I thought how fitting it was that he should conduct his first civilian church service on Remem- brance Day Sunday. 1 felt as 1 listened that there was more elo- quence in what he left unsaid than in what he -actually said. I think you know what I mean, For in- stance he mentioned Dieppe very briefly and then concluded — "I was there a few weeks ago—I will tell you about that sometime" in the front seats of the Church there were about fifteen little boys, who, during the singing of the pre - sermon hymn, marched down the aisle in single file, the first little fellow holding aloft the banner— "Feed My Lambs". They were such bright, happy little chaps and. as i watched them I wondered if there were any among them whom the war had orphaned — all of them were young enough to be war -babies. I also wondered what were the prospects for the future of these 'lambs" as a result of the Peare conference that we hear so much about. V Well, of course, Remembrance Day brings us well into November —and that means Christmas will be here before we can turn around. Maybe it is my fancy, or maybe it is lust me, but I feel that there is definitely a more Christmassy feel- ing abroad these days than there has been for many years. Not only that hut I notice a decided tenden- cy towards handmade gifts—with diamond socks leading the wayl I ani even hoping to get in the run- ning myself. However before our Canadian friends are looked after there are Old Country relatives to think about, especially as the deadline for sending parcels is fast ap- proaching. I have been picking up a thing here and there for months. Last week I got some nice stock- ings. Not nylons — for everyday wear I hardly think nylons would go over so well with our English friends. A woman, recently re- turned from overseas, tells me that most of the stockings "over there" are cotton and not full-fashioned. so that in a little while there is no fit or shape to them at all. As for food—well we know that practical- ly anything nice to cat is accept- able. * * And then when we have all our stuff gathered together, for good- ness sake let us see to it that the parcel itself is properly packed, If you are curious about the kind of parcels that the Post Office has to deal with just keep your eyes open near Christmas time and you will see parcels that make you wonder if they will ever get to their destina- tion intact, For mailing overseas we have to be extra careful. I have found that the easiest and safest way to pack a parcel is to sew a piece of flour sack, or other strong cotton goods, right around the parcel, writing the name and address right on the cot- ton, using a wax crayon for the purpose. Then finish with wrap- ping paper—double thickness—and strong twine. Write the name and address in several places so that if one place is torn there are still other directions to help the pre- cious package on its way. * * * Partner and I are feeling very pleased with ourselves — and the wetter it gets the more we pat our- selves on the hack. You see, last Saturday we moved the pullets to their winter quarters. We debated abotit it because they were quite content with their liberty. But the pen was ready so we put them in it. But it wasn't done quite that quickly. Olt, no. To finish the job I had to climb right inside the range shelter to catch the birds while Darner and Bob did the car- rying. And it has been raining ever since. So, not only are the pullets better off but we are saved the joy of slithering around in the mud to feed them — which is what we would have been doing had we left them where they were.

In pie language, the upper crust may be out of fashion nowadays with fats still scarce, but the bot- tom crust can still be of top quality, tender, crisp and good enough to eat to the last crumb. To prevent the bottom crust from becoming soggy and tough when baking an uncooked filling such as a custard, pre-cook the crust for ten minutes before adding tit custard, then bake the pie at a moderate temperature until the custard is set. With fruit pies, the illusion of an upper crust can be given by using the trimmings of dough and criss-crossing them over the filling. The fillings for both the lemon cream pie and the chocolate topped pie may be served as desserts in- stead of being used to make one crust pies. CHOCOLATE TOPPED PIE 1 baked 9 in, pie shell 11/4 cups milk 1 envelope plain, unflavored gela- tine (1 tbsp.) 1/4 cup cold water 2 eggs 7/3 cup granulated sugar 7/8 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional) 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 tblsp. grated chocolate Scald milk in top of double - boiler. Soak gelatine in cold water for five minutes. Beat egg yolks with sugar, silt and nutmeg if used. Add milk gradually then cook in top of double -boiler until thick- ened, about 10 minutes. Remove and stir in gelatine and, vanilla. Chill until partially set. Then beat with rotary beater and add to stiff y beaten egg whites. Pour into the baked pie shell and sprinkle wi h the grated chocolate. Chill un it set.

Highlights of the News U.S.. 'Kills Controls Labor and management—free of government curbs after five years. .'held the key to America's econ- omic fixture as President Trueman heaped the junk pile with wage and -price controls. Only ceilings on rents, sugar and rice survived the 'chief executive's sweeping decontrol action. And fed- eral officials termed rent increases "inevitable. In killing 'off all other controls in a weekend,order, Mr. Trueman said: - "I am convinced that their fur- ther continuance would do the na- tion's economy more }farm than good." At the same time the chief exe- cutive placed "squarely upon man- agement and labor" the "responsi- bility" for economic stariility. His decontrol edict brought im- mediate promises from. industry. and business leaders that prices will be held at reasonable levels after a period of adjustment. But some of these leaders tem- pered their pledges with a big "if" —if wage demands don't upset the applecart, , CIO President It was learned in Washington that Philip Murray had consented. to be drafted again as CIO presi- dent. He hopes, it was said, to pre- vent the CiO from being split on the Communist issue and to elimin- ate extreme Leftist control. Gandhi or Reduced Diet Despite a "semi -starvation" diet for the past 10 days Mohandas K. Gandhi is able thus far to attend to his regula. work. The already gaunt and thin spiri- tual leader of the All -India Con- gress party, who has threatened to fast until death unless peace is restored in Bihar Provinc, has lost five pounds since starting a reduced diet. 5,000 Police Guard King The King opened a new session of Parliament under exceptional precautions with an announcement that the Labor Government will nationalize electricity and the in- land transportation system. Five thousand police, reinforced by Welsh Guards and plainclothes detectives, guarded the Houses of Parliament and the processional route against possible assassination attempts by Jewish extremists. Plainclothes officers and uni- formed police lined the King's route to Westminster. Security pre- cautions against threats of the Irgnn Zvai Leumi and Stern gang Jewish organizations surpassed even .those taken during the Irish Republican Army uprising. Sthall- arms were issued to plainclothes reinforcements—probably for the firsttime since the, I.R.A. disturb- ances. All police leaves were -can- celled. Jewish extremists liave threaten- ed the lives of several British offi- cials, according to London news- papers, and one anonymous tele- phone call reportedly relayed a threat to blow tip the war office in Whitehall unless police policies in Palestine were changed. 1948 World Trade Fair Canada's first international trade fair is to be held in the Coliseum in Toronto the first two weeks of June, 1948, Invitations to parficit- pate are going to Canadian export firms and to foreign firms inter- ested in a Canadian market. Plans were announced by Hon. J. A. MacKinnon, Trade Minister, in an address to the third annual meeting of the Canadian Export ers Association. Big Plane in First Test The United States Navy's 168- passenger,. two -deck Lockheed Constitution, billed as the world's largest transport plane, flew for the first time last week.. A test crew of five men took the giant four -en- gine craft on a round-trip flight to. the Muroc Anny air base 100 miles away. - The transport, said to be capable of flying from California to Tokyo non-stop, weighs when loaded nine- ty-two tons. It has a 180 -foot wing span and is 150 feet long, with a rudder as high as a five -story building.
