She turned and came toward him, a surge of pride welling up as it invariably did when she looked at her tall son. The tight, black cap of curls with which he was everlast- ingly waging battle, was rumpled with the fingers of the brisk wind and his black eyes danced with mis- chief as he slid to a stop before his mother. "Hi-ya Toots!" He grinned en- gagingly and threw an arm around "'Tis just me effervescent spirits, ma'am." her shoulders, giving her a quick kiss. "Oh, Red," she said laughing in spite of herself, "you're impossible." ..He struck a pose and sighed heavily. "'Tis just me effervescent spirits, ma'am." Rod followed his mother into the living room, where he sprawled down into a chair, his long legs stretched out before him. She looked at him speculatively, wondering just how to broach the subject uppermost in her mind right now. She plunged in. "Rod, dear, your father wants you to ask Mr. Billings' daughter to the Festival Dance." Rod looked at her unbelievingly and then bolf'ed upright, indigna- tion in every line of his lanky frame. "What I" he exploded, "That drip I" "You haven't asked anyone else yet, have you?" his mother asked. "N -not exactly, but I thought I'd drag Elly. Do I have to, Mom?" "No, son, you don't have to, but it would be a very friendly gesture. After all, the Billings are fairly new here and Anna Marie probably hasn't made many new friends." "That I can believe," he muttered darkly, a mental vision of his father's boss in his mind's eye. He turned to his mother now, des- pair darkening his face. "Did Dad ted;. Mr. Billings that I'd take her?" "I'm afraid he did, Rod. I'm sorry, son, but after all, you haven't asked anyone else and your father would be pleased." "Nuts I" He shoved his hands deep in his pockets and kicked at the rug disconsolately. "Oh, all right, she's a creep, but tell Dad I'll give my all for the family." The next three weeks aped by at an alarming rate. Rod, having called Anna Marie under pressure, reflected gloomily as he dressed for the dance. A half hour later, he was ringing the Billings' doorbell. The door opened and a sweet-faced woman was smiling at him. "Oh, you must be Rod," she said, opening the door wide. "Come in, won't you? Anna Marie will be down in just a minute." Rod stepped inside and stood nerv- ously waiting for Anna Marie to come down. He looked up quickly as a faint sound reached him. He literally stopped breathing as he be- held the vision of loveliness descend- ing the steps. Her skin was as smooth and creamy white as the petals of a newly -opened magnolia. Her hair, caught up in a soft cluster of curls, was like a sheaf of sunbeams caught and held by the gardenias he had sent her, under pressure from his mother. Her blue eyes were like cornflowers laughing at the dazed look on his face. ,"Jeepersl a dream -puss, no less,' Rod breathed. And then, "Ready for the retrace, beautiful?" The black lashes flew up and a smile curved the lovely, softly pink mouth. "Hatch," was the retort and, to herself, Anna Marie added, "Glatn- orpuss."

Seems to me that we middle- agers have got to hand it to the younger generation—they do know how to produce and raise beautifu' babies! If you oubt my world think of the new babies that you know; or of the one -to -three year olds, look at them on the street, and admit it would be hard to imagine healthier or better cared for babies in any generation. k * * If you agree with me that far then can you offer any explanation? I have thought about it a lot and wondered—wondered because many of us have been in the habit of deploring the freedom of our younger folk, predicting terrible calamities to posterity as a result of the late hours that are more or less habitual with the younger generation; of the running around. to heaven knows where for the sake of a dance or a show. Yes, and the drinkink that we have heard about, and the smoking we have seen, and the ever present promis- cuity—it all adds up to something we have been sure would produce dire results. With that in mind and by all the laws of reasoning present day babies should be stunted, weak- ly, aneamic. As you know they are anything but. Why aren't they—what is the answer? * * * No doubt you will have your theory just as I have mine. It may be right or it may be wrong. For what it is worth, I think the ex- planation lies in the matter-of-fact attitude of our young married folk. They are realists. They discuss free- ly what used to be strickly hush- hush a generation ago. They know the answers. They know what's what and where they are going. After marriage they seem to grow up and when the young wife real- ises a baby may be on the way she consults her doctor as a matter of course; puts herself in his care, has regular examinations and thus assures the baby the best in pre- natal care. There is no false mod- esty about the young parents -to -be; they lead a normal social life as they know it. Having a baby is just something they take in their stride, at the same time they do seem to get the idea that parentage brings with it responsibility—and in the majority of cases the young folk measure up to that respons- ibility. Of course there do seem to be more grandmas around these days from what there used to be —4nd grandmas certainly have their place in the scheme of things and come in very handy at times. * * * Back in the early days of the war do you remember how horrifi- ed we were at the number of medical- ly unfit among the young men who were called up? Why was it? The depression may have had 'some- thing to do with it but it could be that the mothers of those boys when there babies ware born were less enlightened and more prudish than the mothers of today. Their way of living was certainly more temperate; they were definitely ., more the stay-at-home type—but they had inhibitions which some- times resulted in a reluctance to consult a doctor at the right ime. Medical science has made tremen- dous strides but the human factor remains of the utmost itn- po'rtance. The first move Is atilt up to the patient. The Modern moiler apparently realises FARM this better than her mother and grandmother, consults her doctor early and better babies are a direct result. Maybe in that way the swift moving tempo of our young folk is counter -balanced. Mother Nature usually has a way of evening up the score or the human race, in its ignorance, would have died out long ago. * * * Yes, there are advantages and disadvantages to almost everything and that applies to more than family affairs. Right now it applies specifically to highway construc- tion. The Department is building a new highway past our farm- and we have reason to know. The work has been going on for some time but further up the line so I thought I would save my coax- ments until the evidence was near- er home. The road is being widened to the width of a three -lane high- way by taking seventeen feet off farmland either side of the road.. Up until' now I don't think any of us realised the work that build- ing a highway involves. Along this road there are bull- dozers, skrapers, graders, tractors, rollers and I don't know know how many dump trucks working on a four -mile stretch of road. Men are hard at it twelve hours a day—in- cluding our son Bob. Hills are be- ing levelled, hollows filled in; trees that have taken years to grow toppl- ed over by a few shoves from the bulldozer. On one farm two steam shovels are loading trucks with top soil from the land. Culverts and bridges are being rebuilt; hydro and telephone poles moved back; mail boxes propped up anywhere at all. At night it is quite a sight— there are lights everywhere. It is hard to know sometimes whether things are coming or going as the big machines have headlamps fore and aft the red and green lights on the trucks weaving their way in and out. You will probably hear more about this next week. Sour Milk Substitute What do you do when the recipe calls for sour milk and there is none at hand? Home economists suggest mak- ing up substitute by adding acid in the form of lemon juice or vinegar to "sweet" milk. The usual rule is: Add one tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to one cup of milk. Stip and let stand about half an hour. Then use as sour milk in biscuits, cornbread, brown bread, cake or other baked products. Side saddles for women were first used in England by Queen Anne in 1388. • .. TABLE TALKS . On ".Regular" List Here are two timely recipes that you will add to your "regular" list if you try them once, The kidney stew with cereal dumplings makes an ideal dish when steaks and chops are unobtainable. Made with 40% bran flakes they have a flavor well worth remembering. As for the souffle, well, it turns a simple dinner into a feast. It's a favorite you will serve proudly— easy to prepare yet tasty and full of good, important food values. Kidney Stew with . Cereal Dumplings 1 pound beef, veal, lamb, or pork kidneys 2 tablespoons butter or other fat 4 tablespoons flour 2 cups water 14 cup minced onions 1 teaspoon salt Dash of pepper teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 1 recipe Cereal Dumplings Wash kidneys thoroughly. Split in halves lengthwise and remove fat and tubes. Soak in cold salted water 5% to 2 hours; rinse, drain, and dry thoroughly. If kidneys are old or large, cover with cold water, bring slowly to a boil, and drain. Cut kidneys in %-inch slices. Saute kidney slices in fat 3 minutes. Add flour and cook 3 minutes longer, stirring constantly. Add water, onions, and seasonings and bring to simmering point. Add Cereal Dumplings. Cover and sim- mer 15 minutes. Serve immediate- ly. Makes 5 to 6 servings. Cereal Dumplings cup milk 1 tablespoon shortening teaspoon salt Dash of pepper 2% cups 40% bran flakes, finely crushed 1 tablespoon minced onion Scald milk and add shortening. Remove from fire. Add salt, pep- per, and egg, mixing well. Add flakes and onion, and mix thor- oughly. Shape into 1 -inch balls. Drop dumplings into simmering Kidney Stew, cover and simmer 15 minutes. Makes 15 dumplings. Grape -Nuts Flakes Souffle 2 tablespoons butter or other fat 3 tablespoons flour 1 cup milk 3 egg yolks, slightly' beaten s/a teaspoon salt Dash of pepper 3 egg whites, stiffly beaten 1 cup Grape -Nuts Flakes Take Spots Out With Cornstarch Grandmother turned to her pantry shelf in many minor household emergencies and we can do so similarly today. So say textile chem- ists. First of all, there's cornstarch and cornmeal. They are exellent for absorbing liquids spilled on rugs, upholstery, or mattresses, when it is not feasible to wash or soak the damaged article, Pour the cornstarch or cornmeal over the stain immediately to keep the liquid from soaking in and spreading. Other spot removers may be used afterwards, if necessary, to take out any remaining traces of stain. * * * Food and some other stains on upholstery, mattresses and blan- kets often yield to a thick paste of cornstarch and water. Just let it dry on, then brush off, repeating the process until the spot disap- pears. A similar paste of cornstarch and cleaning fluid is helpful in re- moving grease spots, soot, or smoke. Treat soot or smoke marks lightly, shaking on the cornstarch, and then brushing soot and starch off to- gether. * * * If it's an acid stain that you have to deal with, which may dis- color or damage a fabric, treat it promptly with baking soda. This should act as a neutralizer prevent- ing stain damage. Brains! The proud father was talking about the intelligence of his son, • "You know, dear," he told his wife, "I think he must have got his brains from me." "He certainly must have done," re- torted his wife. "I've still got mine." * Melt butter in saucepan, Add flour and stir to a smooth paste. Add milk gradually, stirring con- stantly, and continue cooking and stirring until thickened. Cool slight- ly; add egg yolks, salt, and pepper and blend. Fold in egg whites and Grape -Nuts Flakes. Turn into greased shallow baking dish. Place in pan of hot water and bake in moderate oven (350 degrees F,) 40 minutes, or until firm. Serve immediately with cheese, tomato, celery, mushroom, or onion sauce. Makes 4 to 6 servings. Too Busy "Can I borrow your carpet -beat- er ?" "Sorry, no—he's busy in the gar- den." OUCH !

The little 5 -year-old boy had been sitting on a rock part way up the falls and somehow had slipped into the churning waters ... to be carried down- stream immediately by the current. SEARCH PROVES FRUITLESS Several men who had been bathing above the dam rushed down to the rapids and organized a search. Expecting to find that the youngster had been hurt on the rocks, they combed the bottom— but with no results. CHILD CARRIED 1500 FEET Miraculously, the boy had been carried far downstream without being injured . and had managed to grasp a branch as he was being swept by. Gisele Crete heard his anguished cries from her home and quickly set out in a boat. After rowing about 200 feet, calling out as she rowed for him to hold tight, Gisele dove into the water and grabbed the boy by the arm just as he was letting go, exhausted and dizzy. With difficulty she finally suc- ceeded in lifting him into the boat ... then climbed in herself and rowed to shore. For her quick, brave actions and for her coolness and pres- ence of mind, we are ,proud to honour 15 -year-old Gisele Crete of Montreal, Que., through the presentation of The Dow Award.
