U.S. Ambassador At Clinton Radio School — The Clinton Radio School. RCAF. where large numbers of Canadian and American airmen have studied dur- ing the past four years. was the scene of a very impressive rermony last week. The Hon. Ray Atherton. the United States ambassador to Can- ada, was the special guest, when a class of United States Army Air Force men completed a course in radio instruction and graduated. The RCAF flag and the stars and stripes qew high over the parade grounds. and the Centralia pipe band led the class of graduates. During the cere- monies. Wing Commander K. P.

Gordon, deputy minister for air, and Air Vice Marshall A. Raymond. air officer commanding No. 3 air command, read the citation: "For outstanding ability and diligence in, technical training." It was an historic occasion in the life of the Clinton School which was erected four years ago. There were malty distinguished visitors from the navy, army and airforce.

G. asks: What stakes a stew in which the meat has, been browned turn a grey colour? Answer: Add measured boiling water. Too much water or cold water may be the cause. In cases where the stew is thickened with flour the starch may not be cooked enough. Mrs. C, M. asks: 'why did the en- closed procedure of staking peach jam with commercial pectin produce a separated mixture? Answer: The ingredients and methods are correct. The important advice for perfect jam malting is the use of standard measuring cup and a full rolling boil for -the exact time. We also decided that a metal spoon is best for scum -skimming. Mrs. J. D. asks: The brine does not cover the shredded cabbage in the crock for kraut and it has begun to darken. How can this be prevent- ed? Answer: Remove darkened portion of food. Press down with potato masher. Add a small amount of water if juice does not cover cab- bage. Spoon off scum daily for about two weeks, rinse plate and cloth in clear water. Mrs. M. J. asks: How to pasteurize milk .at the summer cottage: Answer: Make raw milk safe to drink by boiling. Put it in a heavy saucepan; bring it of the boiliug point and hold it there for only two minutes. Be sure to keep it from burning by stirring constantly. Cool by pouring it in eold water. chilling it as quickly as possible. Mrs. B. T. asks: Why does home- made ice creast form a clear layer of oce at The bottom? Answer.

At the present time and under the the present grading regulations the marketing of hogs only when they have reached the correct weight of from 190 to 210 pounds at the farms is one of the greatest problems of the Canadian bacon industry. The future of the Canadian bacon trade I may depend upon the weights at 1 which farmers choose to market ' their hogs. It is difficult to estimate the weights of pigs with the necessary accuracy. To overcome this difficulty a special pig scale which is well suited to the job of weighing pigs on the farm has been developed under the auspices of the Production Ser- TAKE er TAKE A TIP 1.

Information on growth and feeding recorded on 109 hogs showed that it required 319 pounds of grain to .produce one hun- dred pounds of gain for the first thirty days of the experiment, 375 pounds for the second thirty days, 378 pounds for the third thirty days end 422 pounds for the final thirty eight days, the average requirement for the total period being` 392 pounds of grain for 100 lb. of gain, The cheaper gains made by young- er pigs may be .attributed to the fact that gains at heavy weights are mostly trade up of fat, and fat is 211. times as concentrated in heat units as lean. With the cost of gains steadily in- creasing with the age of the pig and the undesirable bacon obtained from "heavy". hogs, it stands to reason that hogs will be most profitable when marketed between 190 and 210 pounds in weight, LAST OF THE •FRENCH FOREIGN LEGION Wherever the flag of France de- creed that brave and reckless men should lead the charge, there the "Legion of the Damned" fought and fell.

Nevertheless, your Hydro' is extending essential rural services to tate absolute limit of labour and materials available. About 8000 applications. made and approved during 1944, still await service, and many have since been added. These will be connected as soon as possible. It will take all the man -power, materials and effort that I-Iydro can command to bring service to these applications in 1945. Those request- ing service along existing power lines niay, in some cases, be connected before prior applicants who require lengthy ex- tensions. We regret that many not be completed before 1946. approved applications may Gr 1944 your Hydro constructed about 400 miles of new rural lines, and added 9776 new customers. With some 1200 Hydro employees in the armed services or on loan to the government for technical work, along with the shortage of many materials critical to war needs, your Hydro has done and is doing everything possible to extend electricity to essential services, If your turn seems slow in conning, please consider the wartime conditions under which your Commission. labours, and be assured that it is doing everything possible to serve you with the utnioSt speed.
