Don't prepare your vegetables till the last moment for either cooking or your salad. Cook ;them with the least possible water in a tightly covered saucepan. Be sure to !tee any leftover liquid to enrich soups, stews and sauces. Vegetable plate meals call for accompanying dishes containing cheese, milk or eggs and a richer dessert. And remember to- serve some vegetables raw, some cooked.

Through tthe'daato-day -g coperation in saving every last bit of waste faits, • the 3.5,Q0Q,009 pounds required annually will beobtained. They give five points to remember: (1) Save all waste cooking fats. (2) Pour fats into clean, wide- mouthed cans.such as used for coffee, fruits or vegetables. The fate should be strained as they are being poured in, so that all foreign matter is re- moved. (3) Kee$ in the refrigerator or in some other cool place until at least one pound has been.collected. (4) Take the fats and bones saved to thenearest neighborhood meat dealer. He will pay from 4 to 4 cents per pound for dripping fats. Bones and scrap Pats should also be turned in.

Made up entirely rot smaller naval craft, the Navy's most important duty has been the convoying of merchant vessels across the Atlantic. It has been 99 per cent. successful in this task. It has borne as much as 47 per cent. of the burden of- the convoy work, aided in guarding 12,000 vessels, carrying .65,000,000 tons of cargo to the United Kingdom. The Canadian Navy has now nearly one-half the numberof men the Roy- al Navy had at;tlhe beginning of,.war. Seventeen R.C.N. ships participated in the North African campaign. Five corvettes were with the United, States forces In the Aleutians. More „than 1,100 officers and ratings• of the R.C.N. are serving with the R. N. on the seven seas. They have been in every British naval engage- ment of the war. Within six days of Canada's entry into the war the first convoy of mer- chant vessels left Canada for Britain. Since that time a steady flow of goods has been passing over this bridge of ships. Many hundreds of persons have been rescued• at sea by the Canadian Navy. In December of 1942 the cor- vette H.M.C.S. Morden brought. 194 •men, women and children anto port, the entire crew and passenger list of a Canadian merchant vessel torpe- doed in the Atlantic. Early in 1941 a Canadian destroyer helped rescue 857 survivors of the Arandora Star after the liner had been torpedoed. Converted ocean liners and luxury yachts now Sy the ensign of the. R.C. N. Both are performing important du- ties. On patrol duty in the -South Paci- fic, H.M.C.S.

One reason for this is that unsolicited 'con- tributions and proceeds from• special events continue to come in both to branches throughout Canada and to headquarters. The interest in the Fund has been so great that meriibers of the nation- al committee feel an interim report should be made. Contributions to. the .Fund, in cash, and clothing now total $3,076,000. Sums received to date, at the head office of the Fund, 80 King St. W., Toronto, total $2,106,000. In addition, sums on hand at the branches', plus sums promised but not yet remitted to head office, amount to $270,000, making an.. aggregate total of money contributions • of approximately $2,- 376,000. By't provinces, this sums is made up as follows: British Columbia $ 251,600 Alberta 78,800 Saskatehean .. , , . , , 106,200 Manitoba 147,400 Ontario 1,129,200 Quebec 505,000 Prince Edward Island 13,800 New Brunswick 62,700 Nova Scotia 81,100 Yukon a 1,00 Alaska,.Highway and other unorganized' territory 100 • Ins ., Niwd idi�'i�e Witt.

Didd's 1h011t ge9i4'yt! ill & Y Dodds KiditeyPills has inherited' the centuriieo,.of experi- ence, tr`atning and • tradition, of the Royal Navy. The Royal Canadian Navy was form- ed ormed in 1910. Two cruisers, the Niobe and ;Rainbow, were acquired from Great Britain and dockyards at Hall- , fax and Esquimalt were transferred' to the new force. At the start of the First World War the Canadian Navy was composed of the two over -age cruisers and an an- tiquated schooner. Many small ves- sels were purchased and by 1918.tbe Navy was, composed of 140 ships. They were used:' principally for mine- sweeping and anti-submarine patrol. By 1918, 5,978 officers and ratings were, serving in the R.C.N.; but wflth peace the -force declined in 1920 to 1,048. In 1922, oarried adong with,the tide of disarmament, Canada reduced its naval strength to 366 officers and men. The Canadian Naval College was opened in Halifax in 1911 -to provide Officers for the new service. It was closed in 1922, but reopened on Oct. 21, 1942. a further report in April, following the close of the Red Cross appeal. Most of those associated with the Canadian Aid to Russia campaign are also closely associated with the Red Cross and now wish to assist in the, Red Cross appeal, announced for the month of March. • • Meanwhile, until the end -of the Red Cross 'campaign, the activities of the Canadian Aid -to Russia Fund will be centred principally on the collection of clothing and other goods in kind. A national seed committee has been set up under the chairmanship of Mr. W. T. G. Weiner with representation from every province, and—it is secur- ing tae contributions of seeds so urg- ently needed in the Soviet Union. New Ration Books • Some time ago the Wartime Prices and Trade Board announced that the new ration books will not -be mailed, but will have to he called for either in.person, or by some adult person re- presenting the household. This ap- plies to bath urban and rural sections of the country. Distribution centres are- being set_ up in every Canadian community of a population of 500 and over, from which the new books will be distribut- ed, These centres will be opened at various times between February 19th and March let, the dates when the ra- tion books are to be :handed out. The distribution centres and Abe dates and hours at which they 'will be open, are being fully advertised in each local- ity, and . it is certain there is one, not far distant from every farm home. The application card which appears at the back of present ration books must be filled out and turned in to the nearest distribution centre,' when -the new book is issued. • It is not possible for every person to go to the distribution centre for his' new book. Any' responsible adult in the family, therefore, can do the job for all •tbe rest of the people in the household. Farm people who can- not get into town can turn over their application cards and old books to a neighbor to -take in for them. In fact, it is quite permissible for one neigh- bor to go into town to collect•new ra- tion books for any number of farm households in the neighborhood, pro- vided he has with him all -the nec- essary application cards properly fill- ed in, together with all the old ration books. - Tbe old book should nat,be thrown away, for there are coupons in it that will be good for a while yet. The old ration boot: will be returned together with the new one. - In filling out application cards for children under 16, be sure to write in their „ages. Children who become 12 years of age before March let of this year, will be entitled to ration sheets for tea and coffee, and these will be issusa in their favor on application. Total $2,376,000 Original Quotas Doubled ,Clothing bast already been shipped and, is on its way to Russia to the value of more -than $700,0. The re- sponee of Canadians to the appeal -for new and treed clothing has exceeded all expectations, as has their response to the appeal for cash contributions. Every province; and almost every branch of they Fund, has more than doubled its original estimate in the collection of cash contributions. The period bf the intensive cam- paign, which -began in November, has :coincided with' the Russian advance which now promises to overwhelm Germany's • army. The response to the appeal has been the expression of the gratitude of Canadians for Rns- sia's stupendous achievement, and,of their sympathy with the vast suffer- ings which the Russian have endur- ed. The money contributed is being ex- penped promptly. Orders have been placed for clobh.ing and other relief supplies, and these are going forward to the Soviet Union without delay. Twenty-eight carloads have 'already been shipped, including onecar of medicines and hospital supplies, and it is hoped -that forty more carloads will go forward to Russia within the next few weeks. No money is being eent to Russia. The en -tire Fund is spent in Canada. These goods are shipped via Soviet (boats, at the expense of the Soviet government, and distributed by the proper agencies in the Soviet Union to the people in need, Clothing and bla.nlcets donated to the' Fund are be- ing sorted, packed and shipped as they arrive.. Thanks' For Support Members of the national committee of the Fund desire to • express their sincerest thanks for the support re- ceived ,from newspapers, radio . sta- tions and the motion picture industry throughout Canada. This support has been the chief factor in the success of the Fund. . Nearly every leading 'newspaper in Canada and both nation- al and private radio stations have giv- en space, and time unstintiiigiy and without fee to the fund. Managers of motion Picture exchanges and theatres have been generous! ill donating Mins antd the use of theatre's for the bete, fit of the Fund.

They now number over 5,000, and it is expected iby next June member- ship will have grown to 10,060.
