many things, among them being the
famous ,'ombination of Baked
Beans and Boston Brown Bread.

like most housewives, you probabe
have your own special method of
'taking beans, but it may be that
you've Clever tried the bread.
1f you do give it a try -out, I'm
pretty sure it will only be the first
of many. So here's how you go
about making

Fair A. Big Event
To those who are planning to
visit the British Isles this Spring—
and there are many of them,—the
following information will no doubt
be of interest. It is supplied to us
by the Associated British and Irish
Railways Incorporated.
Advance information of the Bri-
tish Industries Fair which will be
held in London and Birmingham
from May 2 to 13 indicates that, as
previously, no effect will be spared
tit ensuring the comfort and con-
venience of visitors, particularly
'hose from abroad.
In the case of those visitors from
abroad who normally require visas,
'hese will be issued free if the ap-
plicant requires the visa in connec-
tion with a vist to the Fair, and
visas for wivs and children under
18 yars of age are also included in
this arrangement. Application
should be made to any British Coule-
eavlar Officer.
In London, both Earls Court and
Olympia are adjacent to railway sta-
tions; for Earls Court, tickets are
booked to either Earls Court or
West Brompton, and for Olympia to
Kensington, (Olympia), Although
Earls Court and Olympia are very
close together, a free motor coach
service will be provided between the
two buildings, and journeys by this
ssieans will take less than three min-
utes.
At Birmingham there will be
the special railway station for the
Fair at Castle Brontwiels, and every
day express trains will run between
London l Euston) and Birmingham
(Castle,Bromwick) specially for vis-
itors to the Fair. This route will
take a little over two hours.
Alternately, visitors may leavi
London t l'addirigtoul for Birming-
ham 1Sitow Hill Station) and take
a special bras to the Fa r. During the
busiest parts of the day special trai s
'will also run between BBirmingham
(New Street Station't rind Castle
Bromwick every few minutes.
With memories of the t)lynlpics,
it is hardly net•eseary to stress that

Iiet- doU r .e P. C 1 &tyke
So the ground -hog crawled back
in his hole! And why not—it is
surely too early for the ground -hog
or us to be thinking seriously of
spring. We have hardly had any
winter yet. Personally I ant dis-
mayed at the way the year is speed-
ing on. \Ve always think of winter
as being such a good time for get-
ting things done that have been left
until "we have more time". But
here we are into February, and just
a -wondering where the time has
gone. .No one can settle to anything
before Christmas—and after Christ-
mas we have to sort of adjust our-
selves again to ordinary, everyday
living. Then we run into January,
February and March — and sud-
denly it's spring. No wonder we
say "Where has the time gone-"
Come to think of it, time is
actually an unknown quantity, isn't
it- Or at least, it is a relative
quantity, No one can tell before-
hand how much of it he or she will
have. When we put off things "un-
til we have more time" what assur-
ance have we that there will be more
time later on? 'We might have even
less—a great deal less.
And then, too, I suppose -most of
us confuse time with leisure. We
all have the same amount of titue—
sixty minutes in every hour, twenty-
four hours in every day—but we
don't all have the same amount of
leisure, do we? Leisure depends
mainly upon how we arrange our
time, if you get what I mean.
-.--Then again, what is leisure? '1'he
dictionary defines it as "spare time;
freedom from pressing business."
The trick is is arrange our "pressing
business" sit that we manage to get
a little leisure. Sometimes one has
to fit otle job in with another.
I remember several years ago
there was an officers' rally—I think
it was in connection with the \\'.I.• --

really forget. Anyway, the speaker
gave us quite a lecture on how to
conduct ourselves at a meeting. She
said it was extremely discourteous
to knit while a nteetiug was in pro-
gress—that when we attend a Meet-
ing we should go prepared to give
both the business and the, program
aur undivided attention. )f course
1 was caught napping -or maybe I
should say "knitting."
f wonder what other club 0'01111111

make rather a good debate, or dis-
cussion tonic, for •orale of your
meetings? it would be nice to know
the reaction of, the other members

E`lut'ing my day I have dome quite
a bit of reporting --especially coun-
ty council meetings --and I can't
think of ,any better place for wast-
ing time. Early -corners wait for
late -comers; two-thirds of the coun-
cil will often wait while the other
third is in committee and all of
them try to keep awake and to look
intelligent while by-laws are given
the necessary readings. The wast-
ed time used to bother me, espec-
ially, during the war. I used to
think what a good thing it would
be if. men should learn to use their
spare time in knitting. And would-
n't they look cute- I wonder what
they would do with their cigars.
Fitting in very nicely with this
matter of "time" and "leisure" here
is a little verse I found among my
clippings the other day by Amos R.
Wells. It goes right to the heart
of the problem for people who
"haven't time" ... and supplies the
answer.
"I am resolved
To do less, that I may dear/tore,
Less of the things that -4o not
count,
That I may do more of the things
that count."
Good Railways, Need
Adequate Returns,
"Canadian railways have conte
through various tests of their basic
efficiency and their resiliency." said
Alistair Fraser, vice-president, traf-
fic, Canadian National Railways, in
replying to a toast to the railways,
at the 41st anima dinner of the
Canadian Railway Club, held (mite
recently. "Their experience has been
ripened; their technique improved;
their equipment modernized. They
stand at the highest point with re-
spect of men, material and methods.
Their health is good," he said.
""Che railways cannot maintain
their good health," he continued,
"if inadequately nourished, just as
the finest athlete could not carry
on a hunger fast indefinitely. Nor
could he maintain himself, even in
fairly good health, if undernourished,
and $o it is with the railways. They
need a hills level of traffic and
adequate revenues for Maudling it.

Parables of Jesus
Mark 4: 1-9; Luke 15: 11-14
Golden Text Be not deceived;
Gori ie not mocked; for whatsoever
a ratan soweth. that shall he also
reap.' --tial. 6: 7.
Who doesn't like a story? Even
my four-yearold daughter has be-
gan to ask for "a story". Jesus ex-
celled all others in the art of present-
ing simple incidents from everyday
life in such a way that they portray-
ed great and eternal truths.
'1'he parables of Jesus were many
and varied. He began with parables
of the Kingdom. Some of the word
that is sown is snatched away by
Satan. Some receive the word but
superficially and fail in the hour of
trial. In others the love of pleasure
and the deceitfulness of riches choke
the word. But some produce a har-
vest unto ,life eternal. Other par-
ables depict the value of the king-
dom; stili others its struggles but
its ultimate triumph, in His last
teaching through the story of the
. virgins, . the talents, the dividing of
the sheep and the goats, He sets
forth the coming judgment.
In the story of the prodigal son
is presented the heart of the gospel.
The prodigal is typical of many
present day youth. They are out
for "a good time". Drunkenness
and fornication are alarmingly com-
mon. Finally when all the thrills

Q. How can I patch wallpaper so
that it will not be noticeable?
A. When mending a blemish in
the wallpaper by using a patch of
the paper that has been saved, hang

shade, both inside and aut,,and you

Q. IIow can 1 remedy sugary

long becomes hard and sugary, but
if it is placed in a warm oven until
the sugar melts it will be fit to eat
again.

potatoes when frying them?
