Haniemakers! We congratu-
late the English on the invention,
O.bout one hundred and fifty years ago
• the sanitIWtiche.-a. portable meal! It I
was a certain English nobleman, the
Fifth Earl of Sandwich, who asked
that a bread and meat concoction be
brought to his table in• the recreation
rbom, so that he might not have to
leave the game,.
* *
Today we have the greatest variety
of sandwiches. They are served for
luncheons, afternoon tea, buffet sup-
pers and even for dinners -and of
curse -for picnics. The sandwich is
indispensable. Picnic sandwiches are
cold (never toasted) and savory en-
ough to take the place of a main sup-
per dish -or sweet enough to. substi-
tute jor dessert. ,
*.• .* *
Picnic appetites are likely to be big
-so plan your sandwiches according-
ly. Use breadcut not too thin, or
'large soft rolls good enough to hold
any kind of hearty filling. It is often
wise to take along the supplies, and
let each person make up their own.
This saves a lot of preparation, and
then everyone gets the kind of sand:
wich desired. Sliced bread, softened
butter, a bag of crisped lettuce, sliced
meats, cheese spreads, salad dressing
or jars of any prepared filling are
easy toapack.
Making Picnic Sandwiches
1. For individual sandwiches, use
the kind of fillings that will not soak
into the bread. Do not expect" crisp
fillings to remain so for very long, in
warm weather.
2. Whenever possible pack crisp
foods separately-pieees, of celery,
head of lettace,, new carrot strips
wrapped in wax paper. These will' he
'better to eat after several hours, than
if included in the fillings.
3. Remove crusts or leave on de-
pending on occasion or preference.
Slice to desired thickness.
1. Spread cith softened butter
(mayonnaise my be substituted in
salad sandwiches).
5. Spread tilling on one slice -be
sure that it conies to the very edge,
then cover with the second slice.
6, Wrap in. wax paper or damp
cloth till ready to use. .(Do not use
a wet cleth).
* * *
Sandwich Filling
1. All kinds of cooked meat are
suitable -ham, in all its forms; beef-'
roasted, coined, dried or canned; pork,
lamb, veal, tongue, fowl, liver, bacon
or tilogna. Slice, chop or grind the
meat, and use with mustard., relish,
salad dressings, catsup, meat sauces,
and with pork -applesauce. (Meat
sandwiches should be well seasoned,
except when they are tobe. eaten oy
children).
2. All kinds of cooked, flaked fish
are tasty fillings. Vinegar er lemon
juice, chopped onion, pickle, cucum-
ber, horseradish, minced peppers and
parsley are the most appetizing addi-
tions to fish mixtures -and of course
-wrap these sandwiches well in
parchment or waxed paper -to prevent
the odor from permeating the Test of
1-1`.1e lunch.
3, Hard -cooked eggs are used in
many fillings . .e minced, with salad
dressing -or varied with a few cap-
ers. chopped pickles, celery or cucume
her, ground or grated cheese, nuts, etc.

neeseasened with mustard , or curry
powder.
4. Cheese, like eggs, makes an eco-
nomical and valuable food, especially
iu sandwiches. Ready -to -use cheese
spreads are available -both bland, and
highly seasoned. Plain cheese may be
combined with minced meats - meat
sauces -preserves, fruits, .nuts,
pimento and pickles.
5. Vegetable fillings are popular,
when the bread is generously butter-
ed, and the sandwiches well packed,
they may be used, if the luuch is eat-
en soon.
6. Sweet fillings are satisfying,

9 Experts can roughly estimate the value of a
product by looking at it. More accurately, by hand-
ling and examining it. Its appearance, its texture,

to their trained eyes. and fingers.
• But no one person.can be an expert on steel,.
brass, wood, leather, foodstuffs, fabrics, and all of
the materials that make up a list of personal pur-
chases. And even experts are fooled, sometimes, by
concealed flaws and imperfections.
• There is a surer index of value than the senses
of sight and touch . . . knowledge of the maker's
name and for what it stands. Here is the most cer-
tain method, except that of actual use, for judging
the value of any manufactured goods. Here is the
only guarantee against careless workmanship, or
the use of shoddy materials.

read advertisements and to buy advertised goods,

Standard)
An Eastern Canadian Port.
Young Brian Hardie, 15, of Gates-
head, County Dover, a wisp"of a
youngster with a shock of auburn
hair and clear blue eyes, fidgeted like
a boy in church who has become bor.,
ed with the sermon.
• "It's WO quiet 'ere," he complained.
"I wish I was at sea again. The doe-
tor•s says my' feet and legs are com-
ing around all right. So I'll soon 'ave
another ship." His eyes glistened at
the thought,.
You begin to appreciate this young-
ster for his courage when you learn
that less than two months ago he
was nearly a corpse. The spark of
life was getting low in his and'his 13
shipmates when a rescue ship -picked
them up after eleven days adrift in
the Atlantic -victims of a Nazi tor-
pedo.
Britain's attitude -his- unshaken de-
termination to continue his role in the
Battle of the Atlantic -is shared by
other boy seamen calling at this port.
Kids in their 'teens who not long ago
Were playing "Cops and robbers" or
swimming in the lakes and docks
back 'ome when England was at
peace. •
Close To Death
Talk with Brian or his elder brat
thee Gordon, 17, who was his ship-
mate in the aforementioned torpedo-
ing. Talk to 17 -year-old Jeff Chequer,
of Birkenhead, Cheshire, who mirac-
ulously escaped death on a blazing
tanker and who later drifted about for
four days before he was,rescued. Ask
'teen -aged Jack Shepherdson, like the
Hardiese of Gateshead, who also
knows what it is to be torpedoed at
sea and left to drift about on. the
chance Jof• being picked up, ask' these
lads if they want to return to sea.
You'll get the same reply every
time.
"Of course we're going to sea again.
We like it. And besides England
needs us."
This attitude of young Britons iS
important because it shows a high
morale, and morale may yet be Eng-
land's secret weapon' in ultimate vic-
tory. It was Understandable that old-
er Britons, men in their thirties and
forties and more, would stand up un-
der enemy fire. But how the young-
sters would come through their bap-
tism of fire could not be known 'anti)
they were put to the test.
Well, they've been tested. They've
been bombed and machine-gunned,
torpedoed and left to die. They have
experienced all this eed have come
up smiling, ready for more. 'Hitler,
with all his highly publicized youth
movement, will never match the spir-
it of these young, unreginaented Bri-
tons.
Sunk Without Notice
Here's what happened to ,Brian
Hardie. Remember he is only fifteen
years of age. He lied about his age;
put it up two years so as to get' a
ship. He was making his second trip,
bound from England to Haltinaote in
a British -freighter when •a Nazi tor-
pedo sudldenly ripped through the
ship ,into No. 4 hold and there was a
terrifice explosion. The -ship upend-
ed at a crazy angle and Hardie, mess
boy, who ,was lying down at the time;
scampered with others to the life-
boats. All but the chief "Sparks" es-
caped death.
The U-boat left them to their fate.
There were two lifeboats, one with 25
in it, which has not been hard of
since, and Hardie's, with 15 in it. For
eleven days they tossed about in mid-
Atlantic, soaked to the skin by ram,
dried aut in the sun, soaked through
again, their boat in danger of capsiz-
ing at
An Arab shipmate who could stand
it no longer, drank himself to death
with a mixture of salt water and bran-
dy. Rations were getting low on the
morning of the eleventh day. .4 fog
which had closed in suddenly lifted
and a young Dane, Kag Jensen, clim•b-
ed the boat's mast and waved a torch
in a last desperate hope.
"Luck Was In"
Our hick war in," recalled Brian,
telling the story:in port. "A freighter
saw kag's signal and picked us up.
The cook died four hours after we
were picked up and another shipmate
died four &Ye(' later -making three
dead in our boat."
He 'fiShed down into his pocket and
pulled out a cablegram from his
mother. It read: "Love and kisses,
dearest. God Bless You. Mother
Hardie."
Brian stuffed: it back In his pocket.
"She Twee -ay lost 'er two that time.
She'll want me to stay ashore. But I
won't do it."
Equally Determined
Brian's brother, Gordon, galley' boy
on the torpedoed freighter, is equally
determined to sail again.
The Hardies come of a fighIng fam-
ily. Mather does her bit. Dad is in
the A.R.P. There are twdl boys in
service besides Brian and Gordon,
one on a warship and the other in
the British 'Navy. •One sister is a
nurse,and the other is driving a Roy-
al Navy ear.

Jeff was mess boy on a tanker
bound for Canada when- a Nazl sub
torpedoed it last June 4, about 500
Miles off the Azores. It was shortly
before midnight when the torpedo
struck and he 'was asleep at the
time. The first thing he knew was
when water started igushing into hie
cabin.
"I jumped out of bed 'and tried to'
open the door, At first I couldn't get
it open but.,finally t managed to bust
it down. The ship was sinking- and
on file. When I got up on deck, the
deck was burning.
"I had been sleeping aft End the
fife was on either side. It 'was be-
tween me and the lifeboats. It was
lucky for me that 'the ship swung
around and blew the flames to port."
This, he related, made a path through
the fire, enabling him to reach the life
boats.
Nearly -Drowned 4.
In the hurry to escape froom the
burning tanker, young Jeff fell out 'of
the lifeboat into the water. .A. ship-
mate fished him out.
For four days atter the U-boat left
them to their fate, Jeff and 15 ship-
mates drifted about the o6ean. They
had a compass and made for the sea-
lan•es in the hope of being picked up.
. Breakfast consisted of one biacuit,
dinner of two biscuit and a morsel
of corn beef, with a biscuit at night.
Each was given 'half a teaspoon of
milk and a .goblet of water per day.
Not much for a growing boy like
Jeff!
There was nothing downhearted a-
bout this boatload. They sang to keep
up their spirits, told jokes and gen-
erally kept their mind ,s off their
plight.
"We never gave up hope,".Jeff said
later, Seemingly- none the worse for
his experience. "Four days after 'be-
ing torpedoed we were picked up by
a Norwegian ship and were brouught
into port."
"Will I go. to sea again? Sure.
Why not? I can't stand it, ashore.
Nothing will keep me from going to •
sea. I wish they'd hurry up and get
me a ship," he said.
