First Niece arrivcc here to spend the remainder of her holidays Let Tuesd;iy and with her she brought about twenty pounds of blueberries which she •had picked before leaving Vat D'or, where she had been staying: That was . just about the nicest present anyone could wish for, don't you think? We are all fond of blueberries so you can well imagine that noire went to waste, We ate them raw, in pies, gave some away and then I still had enough ,Jeft to fill one quart and seven pint sealers. g * s It was. cry hot when we received word from Toronto that niece Joy was in the city so Bob. and I drove in to get her.I When we left here l thought I had had just about all the beat I could take but in Toronto we found it was certainly a great deal worse. There was a breeze but no freshness in it—it was more like air being blown our way from a huge bonfire. At Sunnyside we noticed the beaches were crowded with people seeking somes respite from the blistering heat but it didn't look to me as if they could be much coold cr even there—except for those• in the water. The most bearable place we hit was the veranda at the apart- ment house where daughter rooms. It is a lovely street, just off Yonge, and yet so quiet and shady. As we sat on the veranda f looked at the massive maples, unmistakable evidence that, in many instances, those responsible for the planning and surveying of Toronto streets in days gone by had shown consider- able foresight and had left standing as many trees as they possibly could. Trees are so restful and yet, as with so many things in life, we don't always realise their heauty. from a close-up view. We have plenty of trees around here—just ordinary, everyday trees—and to look at them from across the yard or from the downstair windows in the house, they are—well—just trees. * * * But Sunday night after our week- end gang had gone their various ways and only Partner and I were at home, there was still some day- light left and I felt restless and fidgetty, so that, in seeking—I hardly knew what, I wandered upstairs to the spare room and 'sat down by the open window overlooking the south fields and pastures. And to my sur- prise it was just as if I were seeing them for the .first time. Looking at• our own stalwart oaks—although there were only two of them within view—and a few graceful elms I wondered kkow I could have missed seeing their beauty before. Presently I realised it was all in the perspective —this time I was looking at them from a higher level—not from the ground as I usually do. Just to satis- fy my curiosity I went downstairs, walked to the south side of the house, looked across the same fields, , saw the same trees, and yet they didn't seem the same at all. The green of the trees was brownish and dry, the hayfield parched and unin- teresting, certainly it was 'trot a view that one would eves think of looking at twice. And yet from that higher level . . From fields and trees my thoughts ran on to other matters, to the prob- 1'dl:ile of Pennies, sponsored by Hong Kong Veterans' association of:Canada at Toronto, got a contribution from Constable Carl Ford, seen here with Dolly 'Weir and Pauline Kostik. The girls later collected the pennies for the veterans' fund in pails. 'ems that beset us clay by clay. and i wondered if they too would be less formidable if loeleet: at from "a higher tev'n " * * Lot it is too hot to moralise, may- be it will be more to the point if I hurry along our -four o'clock cup of tea. I am sure the men will appreciate it --to say nothing of yours truly. I am wondering which of our men has the hottest job—Partner is digging out the barnyard, Bob is driving the tractor on the summer fallow—and I can't imagine anything hotter and dirtier—and John is across the road helping a neighbour to draw in wheat. No doubt each one will think he has worked harder than the other two. The tea has been made., swallowed thirstily and duly appreciated al- though I used a little less tea, this, and every time, to even up the cost since the price of tea went un. Those rising prices! One wonders when and at what level they will reach their peak, and then which will slide first—prices or wages? The whole set-up is, what one might call, a pain in..the neck. Yes, even to the price of eggs with no benefit to the poor old biddies who are so, hot in their feather jackets and work so faithfully at their arduous :job of laying. But. why -they :all lntast - crowd on one nest is past my understand- ing. We have lost two hens ,this summer by overcrowding—and yet either side of the crowded nest there were nests with never a biddy on them at all. Frozen Food cfo Now they're flying frozen food to Alaska! A Northern Airlines plane left Boeing Field . en route to Fair- banks, Alaska, with a cargo which included 1,500 pounds of frozen fruits and vegetables — the first batch of frozen foodstuffs ever flown to the territory. A special aerial cold -packing technique is being used.

Today we are thinking of Joe Chrysdale of Toronto's CKEY. Joe has been in the driver's seat of "Club 580" ev- er since it went on the air. He likes the kids and they like him. Not because he gives them guest tickets to this and that or an al- bum of their favorite records; but -because his' genial manner of putting them on "the air" makes them feel that they, have a friend who doesn't want to make a fool of them when he has them on the spot. The fact :that his broadcasts are jammed to capacity every -time he takes to the air ways, testifies to his popularity. The funny thing about it is, that Joe who seems to be in all his glory when on the air. 'with 'Club 580 has adothrr show that makes hint feel es en more glorified or, should we say, contented. That show' is' the "baseball -broadcast", or for that matter, any sports -cast. Yes, 'our Joe wants to be the bestest Tittle old sports announcer ever, flint despite his hidden desires we has e a feeling that he would be' lo;t withdut his daily visit with the gang on Club 550: To sum it all up, we think Joe Chrysdale is do- ing a great job with this show and filling a Bauch needed spot for the kids. Good luck, and keep it up Joe. Youth Centres Needed This week comes a letter from an old friend of way back. Gwen 'Kelp, following our item two weeks ago on the community halls, says: "Congratulations on your excellent column, It fills a great need for the young people as it gives us a feeling of having someone interested in our prob- lems. I was greatly interested in your recent remarks on the build- ing of youth centres. After all, the idea of youth centres is not with- out experience. What about the YMCA and YWCA? What are they besides youth centres? Of course they have adult leadership, but then the youth themselves de- cide what they want. A pother thing—if we don't dance and have parties under properly , supervised conditions, then we have to go to the dance halls where the have the older folks coming in drunk, swearing and generally setting bad examples. Is there a choice there? (Gwen: you said it!) "With youth centres you are more apt to find someone who is interested in the things you are interested in. Here in Toronto it is much easier to find a group who like the things I like doing. So why shouldn't those hi the small towns have a chance too? "Thanks a lot for writing such a swell column."—Gwen Kemp. Thanks a lot for writing such a swell letter Gwen. You debated a question in a very fine manner, and I would say that you have won the debate. May I add that when olders start talking about the kids of today and how they leave to cater to them,—well, as Gwen has pointed out, when they appear in the condition sonic of them do, it is better to have a place for the kids so that they won't go home .dis-illusioned, ashamed and generally fed up with the old folks. Diets Are Important Maybe because we have been thin for so long,,,,and never a heavy -eater at anytime, we are prompted to set forth the "Teen- Age Diet" that appeared in a na- ' tion:al weekly not long ago. The diet is a must for teeners and es- pecially those who eat too little and, generaly turn up their nose at everything that is set before them, Here is the diet: Milk, 4 cupie,leafy green and yellow vege- tables, at least one serving; cit- rus fruits, tomatoes and raw cab - bags .at least-. one serving;„pota- toes, at least orae serving; meats, fish; poultry, dried beans or peas (one or two servings of cheese or eggs may be substituted if de- sired) ; bread and whole -grain cereals, .liberal quantities every day; butter, some daily. These are mihimum amounts daily. Only af- ter your teen-agers have eaten those basic ' foods, should they have .desserts, ice cream and little snacks. Mother 11Iurkar will not sit down and shut up. The Answer Teethe young fellow of the home town who asked us on the street the other day why we didn't stick to local news in our column,' the answer is: this column appears in quite a number of weeklies around the province and the kids in all the other towns are not primarily interested in our town—even if we do think it is the best place in the world. King George Gives Estate to Princess Buckingham Palace announced recently that the King had given Sumiiughill Park, picturesque 300 - acre Berkshire estate, to Princess Elizabeth, who will be married Nov 20 'to Lieut. Phillip Mountbat- ten, former Prince Phillip of Greece. The clematis -covered mansion adjoining Windsor Castle, one of the Royal residences, will be the country home of the heiress pre- sumptive. No decision has been reached about a home for the Royal couple in London. "The King has been graciously pleased to grant Sunninghill' Park to Princess Elizabeth as a grace and favor residence,” the palace announcement said, "Grace and favor" residences arc those in possession of the King which he bestows at his own dis- cretion. e TABLE.TALKS The homemaker may sit down to a satisfying meal that attracts the eye and teases the taste and at the same time be as cool as the proverbial cucumber herslf, if she does a little planning and pre- paration in the morning. The Home Economists of the Consumer Section, Dominion De- partment of Agriculture say that there are many ways to arrange this. A boiled ham or beef loaf, stored all ready to serve in the ice box or cool cellar, and a large jar of salad dressing are first aids in any meal emergency, for which greens from the garden for salad and fruit for dessert the meal is on\ the table. A hot dish stimulates the appe- tite and adds variety. This may be quickly served if some of the preparation is done ahead of time. Hard cooked eggs may be halved or sliced in a curry sauce or they may become "a la -King" in a plain cream sauce with bits of onion and sweet red peppers. Quartered tomatoes laid on hot buttered toast and covered with a hot cheese sauce make a new kind of rarebit, Here are two good supper dishes one hot and one cold. Vegetable -Cheese Casserole 11/2 cups milk 1 cup stale bread crumbs 1 cup grated cheddar cheese • teaspoon salt 1/a teaspoon pepper 2 eggs well beaten 12 slices vegetable marrow (1 medium marrow) 2 tablespoons chopped onion Scald milk. Pour • over stale bread crumbs, add cheese, salt. and pepper, theta add the well beaten eggs. Arrange the vege- table marrow in a greased casse- role, Sprinkle with chopped onion and pour the milk and cheese mix- ture over it. Set in a pan of warns water and oven poach in a mod- erate oven 350 degrees F., for one hour or until cheese mixture is firm, Six servings. This may be prepared in the morning and baked in time for supper. Jellied Veal in Green Peppers 2 to 2% lbs. veal shank 2 quarts water 1 teaspoon 'salt • teaspoon celery seed or few sprigs celery leaves 1 small onion ,Sliced 1 small carrot cut in half Place veal, water, salt, celery seed, onion. and carrot in kettle.
