Vegetables, left from a meal on the

basis of a soup, especially if meat
stock or vegetable juices have been
saved. Piecing one vegetable out with
another—using them creamedeeor put -

QUESTION BOX
Mrs. D. S. writes: Would you kind-
ly recommend an oil for deep fat fry-
ing as I have found that when pota-
toes are added to the melted fat that
I use, the fat spatters a great deal?
Answer: You • are probably using
new potatoes which contain more wa-
ter than old ones at this time. If you
-dry the sliced potatoes for French

For the first time in 27 years Cana-
dian pro golfers proved a real threat
in the Canadian Open Golf Champion -
lip at Lambton Golf Cluf (Toronto)
Aug. - - . At the end of 54 holes
Sam Snead, who won Canadian cham-
pionship in 1939 and' last year, was
tied. for first place with Bob Gray, Jr., •
of Toronto; but Snead, shooting sub-'
•
par golf nosed out Gray by two
strokes. Canadians however had the
satisfaction of .winning the runaer-up
prize and, including this, capturing
three out of the first -five cash awards.

"We'll Put To Good Use
•What You're Throwing
Awak (Condensed from The Commonweal in
Reader's Digest)
A year ago last spring Mrs. John
Morrison Curtis of Summit, N. J., put
a want ad in the local paper asking
for things ordinarily thrown away
during housecleaning: old clothes, I
shoes, curtains—Anything. She would
make these 'useless things useful,
Make Something out of nothing. Adept
at dress designing and handy with the
needle„she planned to send. the re-
conditioned articles to the harried
civilians of Europe.
She expected some response, of
•course, but not the overwhelming one
that came. Friends and strangers a-
like emptied attics, collected old wool-
lens from closets. " Soon her living
room ovenflowed with Out-moded don-
ations...Mrs. Curtis got two friends
to helri. Two weeks later all three
women were' snowed under. So,. af-
ter consultation with the Red Cross,
Mrs. Curtis organized the Refuge Re-
lief'Workroom and asked the town of
Summit to pitch in.
The town did. gy June of this year
1,500 women- from Summit and vicin-
ity had enrolled as workers, and the
idea had spread to thousands of other
women in 45 co-operating groups,
some of them 90 miles away. Virtual-
ly every merchant in Suminit had con-
tributed to make the 1Porkioom a
rousing success. Cobblers, laundries,
dry cleaners, printers, all lent a hand.
In the past year the Workroom turn-
ed out 35,000 reconditioned ' garments,
2,300 fresh quilts, 36,000 baby' gar-
ments for boys and girls, 2,100 pairs
of shoes—all in perfect condition,
• things that anyone would be glad to
have. • .,
The first inkling of what Summit
was prepared to do came when Mrs.
Curtis asked a local A & P executive.
if the new Workroom could occupy a
recently vacated store on Main St.
The lease had three months to run,
the rent was paid. "You bet you can,",
he said. "I'm only sorry it isn't in
apple-pie order. Needs a little paint"
That afternoon she was telling a
friend about it, while out for' a drive.
The friend's chauffeur spoke up:."I
could get my friends and. we'd paMt
the place for you In our spare time."
And so it was. A hardware store do-
ted paint, a painting contractor lent
rushes and ladders.
Mrs. Curtis remembers with amuse -
Ment the discussions as to whether
the Workroom should stay open two,
or three, hours each day. The town
settled the argument. The amount'
of material that poured in, the num-
ber of workers that volunteered kept
the Workroom open six days a week
all day, and three evenings.
All give what time they can. Regu-
lar hours are not required. "People
don't like to get tangled up in regu-
lations," sayMrs. Curtis. She has
kept the reeords simple. Each Well-
er's card shows a series orderibbled
entries: "June 18—took material for
.12 caps." Then Underneath: "June 28,,
--brought in 12, caps." '
Another principle that has made the
workroom lnieceeeful :is—no bossing. In

In giving advice to other commun-
ities which want to try the some-
thing -out -of -nothing "idea, Mrs. Curtis
warns not to make elaborate plans.
"Use what you have in goods and tal-
ent," she says, "and don't worry a-
bout money, don'teappeal for funda.
The idea is simple. And it works."
All :sorts of people, alr nationalities
and walks of life. have helped make
it work. Ask the head of . the Sum-
mit Express Company why he, a bus-
iressman, carries free the crates and: -
barrels that go each Thursday from
Summit tp New Rork, and he glares

idealism," he says indignantly.
"If a thing like this will succeed in
Summit," said a citizen, "it will suc-
ceed anywhere. Our population is
split up .in various groups—commut-
ers, mill people, the shollireepers—
and I've heard it said you could never
bring ns together on anything. But
the Workroom shows that if you get
a real idea you can bring any town
together—with enthusiasm."
McDonald Reunion
The twelfth 'annual reunion of the
descendants of the 'late Donald and
Murdoch MacDonald, who came to
Canada from Ross -shire and Inver-
ness-shire, Scotland, in 1844, was held
on Saturday, Aug. -2nd, in a quiet lit-
tle nook on the farm of Alex Mac-
Donald, Reeve of Ashfield. These stur-
dy, peace -loving pioneers crossed the
ocean in a sailing vessel, making the
voyage in thirteen weeks. Many
changes have taken place 1 condi-
tions in the world since then, as seen
by the fact that the Duke of Kent
crossed from continent to continent
in thirteen hours recently. From
Hamilton ,they came in a wagon to
Goderich, with all their treasures
packed in a chest. From Goderich
they walked, following a. surveyor's
blazed trail, till they came to what
was afterwards ,called, KintaiL Here
