J Waterfalls In The National Parks From the earliest days of explora- tion in Canada, waterfalls' have oc- cupied a prominent place in the an- nals of our intrepid pathfinders. Some of these falls are famous on account of their volume and impres- sive grandeur; some, on account of their legendary and historic associa- tions; and others, because of the unique rock formations over which, they hurl their waters in a succession of leaping, foaming, wild cataracts, Much has been written about the po- tential and developed waterpower of many of these falls and the part they play in the industrial life of Canada but much still remains to be written of their artistic and inspirational va- lue o society and to the tourist indus- try of 'Canada. In the Feat• wealth of natural phenomena which make Canada's National Parks the playgrounds of millions of people, waterfalls have a place of special importance. This is particularly true of the national parks in the mountains of Alberta and British Columbia. Picture, for instance, the Twin Falls in Yoho National Park pouring seemingly out of the blue sky in two great cascades, dropping 600 feet onto the floor of the Yoho Valley. The waters of these spectacular falls have their source in the Yoho, Wapta and other glaciers on the surround- ing mountain. A. picturesque trail winds up the Yoho Valley to the Twin Falls and on to Yoho' Glacier. Lower down the Yoho Valley Tak- kakkaw Falls leaps over a massive limestone cliff tumbling in a glorious curtain of green waters and foaming spray down to the Yoho River 1500 feet below. This is the highest catar- act on the North American Contin- ent, and one of he most impressive sights in the National Parks of Can- ada. There are numerous waterfalls in Banff National Park but perhaps one of the most interesting is the Giant Steps in Paradise Valley. According to Indian legend, these steps formed the ancient staircase of giant Indian spirits of the Upper Air who came down to carry mortals away to their r-• l Cj —1 a.aN-=--ter He's only ONE OF THOUSANDS See. 55 eager to telephone home Every returning troopship is packed with sons and husbands yearning for the first opportunity to telephone the glad news "I'm nearly home" -and to hear again familiar voices: Meanwhile, all across Canada, thousands are waiting for these calls as they never waited before: The veteran may have only a few minutes to call between trains.

H. P. J011.N15TON Manager heavenly abode, somewhere above the top of •HorseshoeGlacier. `"The. Wastach (Indian word for beautiful) River leaps over these' immense rec- tangular blocks of stone, and, when viewed from some angles, gives the impression of a huge natural stair- case leading up the mountain. The colouring is almost unbelievable when the sun shines on the spray formed by this rushing torrent. Athabaska Falls, besides being one of the scenic highlights in ' Jasper National Park, conjures up memories of early days in the region when Da- vid Thompson and other distinguish- ed explorers were blazing new trails along the Athabaska Valley and over the Athabaska Pass to the "Western" ocean. The Athabaska River, which has its source in the great Columbia icefielcl, gathers tremendous volume from its many tributaries before tumbling over the Athabaska Falls into a gorge 80 feet deep. The main body of the river, striking the wall of the canyon with terrific force, is hurled back into midstream where it boils, churns, seethes and tosses, swirling in great whirlpools, Dinging. up clouds of spray. The scene is wildly beautiful with a setting of al- pine grandeur that is breath -taking, At Cameron Falls in Waterton Lakes National Park one of the most unique rock formations in the reg- ion is exposed. Tho rocks of this park occur in three broad folds which trend in a northwesterly dir- ection. The central fold is an upward arch with axis conforming to the lower part of Cameron Brook. Ero- sion along the crest of this fold has exposed at Cameron Falls some of the oldest rocks to be observed any- where in the Canadian Rockies, Here horizontal beds of dolomitic rock have tilted sharply upward so that the falls pour tumultuously over this sharp diagonal, a great part of its mass sliding to the lower western end before tumbling onto the rocks be- low. BLACK MARKET KING IN ITALY (By Martin Halloran, In the Lon- don Spectator) Life in Italy today is fantastically expensive. The exchange was fixed at 400 lire to the pound sterling when we first came, and while prices have gone up and up it has never been adjusted, and now bears no relation to actual purchasing power. For example, the cheapest cotton frocks cost £2-£3, shoes £8-£9, trousers (very bad) £7, good second-hand cameras lire 160,- 000, 60; 000, ice create between is, id. aid 3s., a single fresh fig Bd., a leather wallet of very ordinary type and quality approximately £2. Jewelery, once good and cheap, is now very expensive rubbish, Cera- mics, glass. furniture, leather goods, etc., are plentiful at prices which are simply impossible. • There is no. rationing except for a very few foods, and no price control, hence the black market is everywhere. If you are rich enough you can get any and everything in Italy, even tires, which are perhaps the most diffi- cult, though they are daily stolen off army vehicles by 'Italians and Allied deserters, who live on their sales. Cigarettes are worth at least 10 lire each, often more. A ration card is no guarantee for food. In a shop they will tell you they have no but- ter for your ration, but will offer you out of the shop window black market butter sit 900 lire the kilo. All this goes on quite openly, and the Goernment doesn't even attempt to interfere. There are hundreds of vehicles on the road here. The only way they can get petrol in on the black max- ket. I met the wife of a neutral Min- ister recently at an exhibition, She said they had to bay food on the black market or go without, Two days ago I was taken out to lunch by a friend of mine, a very big land -owner and a neighbor of our's in the days when we had our villa about 30 miles south of Leg- horn. He took me to the Circolo di Caccia, a sort of Rome Athenaeum. The lunch T -had was first-class, served by waiters in spotless white gloves and court dress. We sat down at 1.30 and finished at 3.30, because we talked of Italy and Britain and the futures of my friend, a highly intelligent, cultured, charming man, who had been a fascist, and told me quite honestly why. He is now quite honestly aware of his mistake, and sincerely tries to atone for it. But, of course, whatever he does now, it 'will be said, "kb, yes, he's trying to work himself back into favor." He and' many like him are in a difficult position. He knows he has done wrong in the past by acquiescing and not raising his voice against things he knew to be bad, till it was too late to do any- thing. He is a genuine royalist, and realizes that now he must take his punishment. He is prepared for this if it will do good, but it's hard to see how a policy of blind revenge, mob -justice etc., will do good. Evil for evil is what is happening in Italy now. And I'm afraid' corruption and bad habits go too deep to heal her wounds, UNCOOKED MUSTARD PICKLE 1 gallon cider vinegar, 1 cup salt, 2 ounces white mustard seed, 1 ounce of tumeric, 4 lb. clry must- ard, 1 tsp. cayene pepper, 2 cups brown sugar, saccharine (two ?x.- grain tablets), cucumber, onion, cauliflower, etc. Combine vinegar and flavourings. Cut prepared vegetables in suitable sizes and place in the liquid: Cover. with heavy plate to keep vegetables under liquid. The longer the vege- tables are left in the liquid, the better the flavour. Stone or glass jars are desirable. PICCALILLI 1 peck green tomatoes, 6 green peppers, 6 onions, 1 cup salt, 1 cup horseradish, 1 step sugar, 1 tbsp. cloves, 1 tbsp. cinnamon, 4 tbsps. allspice, vinegar. Chop the tomatoes, peppers and onions very fine, Stir all together with the salt, and let the mixture stand over night. In the morning pour off the water, add the remain- ing ingredients and cover with vine- gar. Cook on electric element turned Low until tender, tasting at the last, and adding more salt if needed. Seal in clean, hot jars. PICKLED ONIONS Peel small inions until the white is reached. Scald in strong salted water (4 tbsps, salt to one quart water), then drain. Pack in jars and sprinkle white mustard and pepper overthe onions. Cover them with boiling hot vinegar. When cold, put in clean, cold jars and seal. One tbsp. of salad oil may be added to the top of the mixture. TAKE. A TIP 1. White onions, cabbage and cauliflower tend to keep their col- our if cooked in water to which has been added i� tspe cream of tartar. This softens the water. 2. There are two ways to prevent pickle sauce from burning as it be- gins to thicken—slip an old tin pan under the preserving kettle during the last i4 hour of cooking. If you have to leave the kitchen for any length of time, put the kettle (if it has not a wooden handle) in a 350 degree oven, leaving the door ajar. 3. Substitute 2 sprigs of dill for 11d tbsps. dill seed. Fo AH '1 t,. o rm 3 2,347,000 blood donations were made in Canada, 1,423,000 in Ontario, through the volunteer Blood Donor Service of the Canadian Red Cross Society since the first clinics were estab- lished in January, 1940. The lives of hundreds in the army, the navy and the air force were saved through this service. This record was only made possible through your donations of blood. We wish to thank you sincerely for your generous help at a time when the need was so great. Special thanks are also given to the doctors, nurses, transport drivers and all other volunteers who gave so generously of their time and talents. The Volunteer Blood Donor Service is now closed as a war measure. A new challenge is presented, however, for many deaths occur in Canadian hospitals each year for lack of an adequate transfusion service. To meet this need, the Red Cross is making a survey with a view to providing all Canadian hospitals with blood for transfusion purposes. To our thanks, then, we add an invitation to help us as we continue our humanitarian work. When the time comes, and plans are ready, announcements wjll be duly made.
