Fath' energy. The green and yellow
vegetables signal) health, highlighting
'4Fitamin. A and minerals. So let's pre-
pare our vegetables properly in our
kitchens so we can ibe sure of . keep-
ing those important food values in-
tact from market to table. They'll
look better and taste better, too.
'Here are a few simple do's and
tion't in vegetable cookery. Choose
.your vegetables for freshneas and
brightness of color, then prepare and
cook them .right. Much nutrition va-
lue lies just under the skin, so keep
- your parings thin. 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. Buy in large quantities—for
convenience and economy—and find a
storage •corner where your vegetables
Will neither freeze nor shrivel from
heat.

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.

THE QUESTION BOX

beans and lentils prevents gas forma-
tion in ,the stomach. There is min-
ute vitamin content in these vege-
tables compared to leafy vegetables,
but as you know, they are good meat
substitutes.
Mrs. A. L: L. asks: "Why does my
pastry never flake?"
Answer: Cook in two-thirds of the
required fat. Sprinkle in the water
and pat into mound. Roll out half

ARMY SALVAGES CLOTHES
Canadian housewives can put into practice and follow the ex-
ample of the Canadian Armed Forces, who for some time have been
salvaging and making over uniforms, as in the picture above. Army
salvage doge not stop there though for the men in the salvage depots
•
are kept busy repairing boots, firearms and .other pieces of army
equipment. The Forces are also giving help to the fats and bones
campaign by saving every last scrap,and turning them over to .the
salvage centres in the various districts across the country.

than 500 ships of the followitng types,
Destroyers, corvettes,, auxiliahyy dtuls.
,errs, minesweepers., +subchasers, patrol
vessels and mall craft et various
kinds.
At the otutbreadr of war vitae sexkice

The task 'of ._fiche Navy as three -fold:
guarding Canadian shoes, protecting
merchant slapping and co-operating
,yvitth the sea forces of the United Na-
tions.
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. Prince Robert, a former
luxury Liner turned into an auxiliary
cruiser, intercepted a large German
merchantman, the Weser, and brought
her to port for use by the Allies.,
An au, liary vessel, the. Bras D'Or,
capture&the Capo Noli, an Italian
merchant vessel, shortly after Italy
entered the war.
An auxiliary cruiser, H. M. C. S.
Prince Henry, caused two German
vessels, the ' Mtfenchen and Hermon -
this, to scuttle .themselves• in the
South Pacific.
Operations of the Nayy are strict
secrets: Occasionally, however, sec-
recy is relaxed to reveal a successful
action against Axis. submarines. Some
of the vessels which have registered
successes against submarines are:—
Destroyer ii.M.C.S. Assiniboine, Cor-
vettes H.M.C.S. Chambly and H,M ;C,
S. Moose Jaw, Corvette H.M.C.S. Oah-

1 Russian Subscriptions
Now Stand $3,076,000
Although the special) appeal forthe
Canadian Aid to Russia Fund closed
January 31, final returns have not yet
been received from all branches. 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

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
