r'. COOKING FORA CROWD
dello Homemakers! Are you alien
cal ;ed upon, to cook for a crowd? In
every household there are times when
mass production is in order. On the
. farm, threshers or fruit pickers may
)wean that the farmer's wife has 20
rush to feed. Family reunions, popu-
lar this month, mean a, crowd. Church
'suppers bring their fall quota of hun-
gry guests -and it's the homemaker
who ,steps in and produces the festive
food every time-
* .*
It's planning that counts-pianuing
what you will serve is the important
first step. Food that can be prepar-
ed well beforehand and that will not
spoil standing, is a necessity. Inex-
pensive dishes may be served but it
is necessary that adequate nutritive
value is provided by the choice of
foods -and cooking of these foods.
* * *
Casseroles, meat loaves (hot or
cold), macaroni or spaghetti dishes,
baked 'ham' (hot or cold) and good
baked beans with bacon are all thrifty
possibilities. Serve them with vege-
tables or relish -and big bowls of
green salad. Pass plates of buttered
^Trolls (you save on the butter this
way),
* * *
A buffet supper is a splendid idea
for the crowd who do not require as
much attention, as men who have to
go right backto their work. It is
very important to remember the va-
lue of "colour" in the buffet meal. Al-
though yon need not serve expensive
dishes.
x *
Keeping hot foods hot is really no
•
trick at all -when you have an elec-
tric casserole, coffee maker and bar
warmer. (The controlled heat of
these convenient appliances assures
you there'll be no burning).
* * *
Everyone likes a true -flavoured des-
sert, so put some thought on, the
sweet course- Big glass bowls of cut
up fruit, and light, feathery angel
food, for the ladies, masculine appe-
tites usually demand pie! ,
1� * *
Coffee, hot :n the 'winter, but iced
in the summer is a "must" today. Of
course it will be good coffee! With
all of Ontario ripe with fruit, howev-
er -fruit punch is delicious and easy
to mrake . . . but see that it's cold!

'''QUESTION BOX
Miss D. A. asks: "How oan • we
prevent -salt from 'caking'in the shak-
ers?"
Answer: Always keep a few grains
of rice in the salt shakers.
Mrs, M. A. asks-: "Can you suggest
ways of using pea pods as a dish?"
Answer: We are told that many
homemakers use pea pods if they are
kept fresh. Cut off the stringy parts,
wash them, cook with an onion and
some parsley. Drain, Serve •with
salt, pepper and"butter.
Miss M. K. asks: "When making
a lemon life, how do you get a clear
yellow filling instead of a cloudy
one?"
Answer: A filling made with corn-
stai ch vl'4l be more clear than that
with flour. However long, slow cook-
ing causes starch particles to burst
and cook evenly. Stir constantly. It
takes a pili filling about 30 minutes
to cook to a clear consistency-.

The Battle of the
Critics
(L. E. Carp)
The layman may well look on with
an amused smile while the battle of
the -military critics runs full tide and
never a drop of blood in the struggle
no matter how recklessly they move
their mental legions across the chang-
ing terrain of newer, different battle-
fields.
There is one interesting thing
which survives all their defeats. They
ars masters of a fluid -art. They are
capable of rapid change. Once the
Maginot Line was flanked and rend-
ered useless, they poured their con-
tempt upon it. War now must be dyne
amics. It was madness to hug a de-
fensive line. It Ipd, to the Maginot
mind and the Maginot' .mind was a
cross between,'sleeping sickness :and
locomotor ataxy --you either went to
sleep or found your power of move-
ment paralyzed -the struggle was
such over.
Now a new thought appears. The
Russians; 'have a line -it's a Stalin
Line. It's not a Maginot Line, but
it's a line. It seems to be proving
very useful. The German arm' rush-
ed against it. We heard from Ger-
man headquarters that it was pene-
trated, broken, pierced, and its de-
fenders annihilated -yet still it standts'.
It's beginning to appear now that the
strength of a line depends, in part,
upon the nature of the line, in part
upon the methods used in its defence,
but mainly ott the men who defend
it. We may expeot in the end a new
form of Line fashioned after the Rus-
sian model. It looks...as if a German
victory, if attained, against the Stalin
Line would be a Pyrrhic one at best,
especially if won over a nation where
there seems no limit to manpower
and"willingness to use it, plus intelli-
gence in its direction. -
Tl
The Russians seem tie be teaching
the military experts new trucks. In
the rash war we thought that it was
folly for a retreating army to retire
into a fort. It meant "simply the im-
mobilization of a force which must
be' captured in the end. The Rus-
sians seem to have tried it out in a
number of cases. It is true, it ith-
mobilized men, but it operated both
ways. The men who were trying to
capture outposts behind the lines
were obviously not taking part in the
main attack. It absorbed men. Cou-
pled with guerilla forces. operating
behind the lines, it became .a means
of wearing out men, material and sup-
plies. It was all very amazing to
the methodic mind of the German-.
Our energetic allies, the 'Free
I't•ench, have, , in General Charles •de
Gualle. a leader who understands this
method of operation. In his book,
"The Army of the Future," he makes
this statement:
"The defenders, if they remain
inactive, find, themselves surpris-
ed, immobilized and outflanked.
11. on . the other bane); they are
motile and enterprising they •
take the initiative thems'eives.
This is the only sensible attitude
to adopt loward the German, who,
unequalled in carrying out plans
he has prepared, ]osis his grip as
anon as he is attacked in 0 way
he does not eNpect and shows an
awkwardness in adapting himself
to unfor•es,een circumstances."
It is the latter part of this para -
°graph which deserves particular at-
tention. We read the reason in the
German radio statements. They are
annoyed that the Russians do not play
the game according to the German
rule book, "He loses, his grip as soon
as he is attacked in a way he does
not expect.",
In Russia we have the .ombination
of a fixed line in depth, th definite
means of counter at els when. a
break -through takes place, coupled
with an unsettled condition In the
rear of the German liwwds which must
tend to snarl up transport linea, tie
up forces In what might otherwise re,
quire nothing ,but police patrols, con -
pled with a parched earth policy
;which leaves nothing in, the way 01
loot and must fill the iniad of the
humblest soldier 'df %litter's regions
with the Idea- that he is confronted
with a desperate eseiny, 'aidred by eif-
cept;.oiiai tentage ' lair infinite, eatfaC,
ity, for.. organized resistance in a re-
gion which must, to the Germane,
seem utterly hopeless in its vastness)
and power of resistance.
The fort at times has its advant-
ages -so has the fortified line. Places
like Gibraltar and Malta serve a
great purpose and seem almost "invul-
nerable to attack- Then there is the
exceptional 'case -Tobruk. The Bri-
tish took it after a -brief setge. They,
went far beyond Tobruk. They were
driven back by a superior German
and Italian, force but Ieft behind a gar-
rison to hold Tobruk. The German-
Italion force bas never felt able- to
overwhelm it. It remains a thorn in
the path. It will prqbably never be
taken. The cost would be too great
and here, as elsewhere,- cost determ-
ines the course, of action. '
There is one Maginot wall before
which Herr Hitler stands appalled -
it is the Straits of Dover and the
English Channel. It is the wall se-
preme. No conqueror has been able
to pass it. It cannot be turned, pierc-
ed or by-passed. No other stretch of
water in all the world is .sovaluable.
It is only twenty three miles wide at
its narrowest point but it represents,
in its sometimes troubled waters,
what 'the military commentators call
"d,efenee in depth." Perhaps after the
war it may be called the Straits 'of
Freedom- No, not that -let, the name
remain as it is -it has been a barrier
to the advance of barbarism, a stout -
defence of freedom, the greatest wall
of defence a sea -faring nation could
ask.
