OLD FAS OND PICKLES •
FOR FLAVOR
Hello 1.1oraernakers! Kettles are
brewin,g 44at.thaou, jails and jellies—
more true -flavored with less sugar'—
and now, pungent relishes are filling
the home with a mysteilous, appetiz-
ing aroma. Traditional in the well-
run home are the jars of delectable
tpreserves and' piquant pickles which
add interest to and enliven the plain-
er meals now, necessary. A spoonful
of pickle adds flavor and appetite zip:
peal even to a piece of left -over meat.
We use two of the most colorful
vegetables for pickling — beets and
cucumber's. And here's a hint that
comes immediately to mind—if you
have a few nicely shaped jars, fill
them and put them aside for the
time -.ef .year when the exchange of
gifts is also traditional. It will save
your purse and increase your fun if
your specialties are made • at home.
And here are some tested recipes
which will provide economical addi-
tions to ydur winter supply of pickles
without using much sugar.

Take a Tip
1. Covering the top of
a crock of
cucumbers with grape or bore -
radish leaves will keep them green.
2. If plum stones are stubborn 'to re-
move, just' leave them in fruit
when cooking jam. They
come to the surface and are
to skim off.
'3. A sprig of mint cooked with peas
gives a pleasant and unusual flav-
or.
4. White cabbage, 'cauliflower and
white onions keep their color if
cooked in water that has had one -

THE QUESTION BOX
Mrs. W. C. asks: "Can 'the glaze
on curtains be renewed?"
Answer: Try putting the fabric
in thin, clear, hot starch to which
a teaspoon of wax has been added..
Mrs. 5. M. says: "Radishes that
are, cut in shapes do not crisp when
they are put in salt and cold water."
Answer: Do not add salt. It draws
out the vegetable juices. Place them
in a small amount of water. Cover
tightly and chill on the lower shelf
of the refrigerator to save current.

Rolling off the assembly line in a Canadian aircraft plant, these twin -engined Bolin' gbroke bonAbera are
moving swiftly toward a rendezvous with the enemy Production of bombers, fighting and training air-
craft in Canada has grown to impressive proportions since the early days of the war when the C

planes, supplying the vast British Commonwealth Air Training Plan; two types of service planes, which
are regarded as first class fighting machines, and the Link trainer for preliminary ground instruction.
” Heard In A Medical
Centre"
(In Montreal ,Standard),
"Corporal," called M.D. No. '2.
"Sorr!" The Corporal clicked his
heels and stood at attention. If he
was Irish it wasn't his 'fault. ,
"I see by this recruit's report that
you have given him 20-30 in each
eye."
"I did, .Sorr."
"Hm, rather odd. His left eye's a
glass eye."
"But how can that be, Sorr? Sure,
I blocked his left eye aid the card
an' 'he read • the chart down below
the 'red line, an' then I blocked his
right eye, an' he did the same just
as quick. 'Tis a quare thing entire-
ly."
The recruit, a bright -looking young
man, looked guilty for a moment,
then smiled.
"I 'suppose it wasn't quite fair, Doc-
tor, but I was most anxious to get in-
to the Army, apd I have a very re-
tentive memory."
"Did you' really think you'd, get
away with it?" asked -the Doctor with
a twinkle in his eye.
The recruit looked embarrassed.
"Never mind," said the Doctor,
smiling. "If your physical tests are
O.K. you're in the. Army, glass eye

From Suffolk
Age 43. He'd been a soldier, no
doubt of 'that. Stood at attention
when questioned, and his replies
came promptly and clearly—"yes, sir.
No, sir." He was very cheerful. In
'the Great War , he'd been wounded
and 'taken prisoner, bullet'Ivound in
the leg. Three months in a German
hospital. The nurses (in reply to a
question) were big and 'strong, espec-
ially their hands, and a bit rough. His
wound was dressed every five days at
first, later every two 0.01s. Later he
worked in the .salt mines, 10 hours
per 'day, two meals, not enough to
eat."

"Dangerous?" Same reply.

"I feel like a young man, was in

game again."
"Yes, but you're nearly forty-four,
and forty-five's the limit. For that
reason alone it would be out. of the
question to send you overseas. Any-
how, 'at your age -you'd never stand

class C for some job in Canada or in
the Veterans' Guard."
This -he refused It was fight over-

91.1.e SNAPSHOT CURD
FLOWER PHOTOGRAPHY
Close-ups pay
VVERYONE likes flowers, and
1-:• every...flower will make, a lik-
able snapshot. Remember that and
you won't lack for picture subjects
from now until late fall arrives
again. ut
Bat
the same time here's
something to remember: Flower
photography, although it is a very
satisfying and pleasant hobby; Ye -
quires patience and a good deal of
practice. You've got to experiment
if you expect to excel in your Work.
But, believe me, it's worth It. Here
are a few tips that may help yen
along the way.
First, make your snapshots close-
ups just like our illustration. Work
as near to the subject as your
camera permits, and it that' doesn't
bring yeti/Within ftsr6 or three feet,
slip a portrait-attachment-oier tire
lens so that you'll get a bigger
image on your negative, or 'plan to
"crop" the picture ditring .eniarge
menhte
Then try to isolate your Subject.
Don't let confusing background de,
tails distract the eye. A perfect
•backgrohnd for ithbOat tiny flower
is the sky, 'but a big sheet of gray
•
dividends fin flower photography, as this fine snapshot
of a water illy conclusively proves.
•
cardboard held behind the blossom
will make a fine' substitute if you
can't get a low enough camera
angle to use the sky as a backdrop.
Next, watch the light. The most
favorable illumination for flower
pictures is the 'early mornifig or
late aftermion sun. You then get
nice sidelighting which adds depth
and form to your subject. Back-
lighting, too, -is sometimes highly
effective. But in either case you'll
get' better quality snapshots it you
use a simple reflector such as a
piece of whitecardboard, to
brighten the shadow portfons of
your subject.
And Use a. filter to darken skiea,
step up contrasts, and give the
closest possible rendering of color
values in the black -and -white print.
PalirtrMatie is
beat for this kind of work.
Pinang, do your picture making
on calm days when the wind Won't
shake the flower, or in the morning
before the wind begins to blow, and
yOU'll find that you'll have fewer
technical problem's to Contend with
and you'll achieve 'better -results.
