THE QUESTION BOX Mrs. D. E. B. asks: "Have made porridge using whole wheat nels?” Answer: "Yes, indeed, and like it, too. Do you know that proteins of entire wheat have a much higher nu- tritive efficiency than that in white flour—good laxative, too. Use cleaned' whole kernels; sort the grains, wash thoroug'h'ly and soak overnight Add one and a half cups of water to every cup of wheat. In the morning, add four cups of hot water, 1 teaspoon salt per cup of soaked wheat, and boil gently three- quarters of an hour. Mrs, C. M.

Therefore the windows bave been closed up, leaving only small panes of glass three or four feet square in the centre. -- The acute shortage of labor is ap- parent in many things, as for instance in the elevator services, or ° "lifts" as they are known there. People are expected always to walk downstairs,• no matter how many stories, and to stories, and to walk up if not more than three stories..~ No one is supposed to have more than one bath a week, and then tto have .only five inches or less of water in-• the tub. The hotels no longer give a fast service for laundry, and one must allow several days before expect- ing its return'. Debris from tomb damage has been well cleaned 'up, but little or no at- tempt has been made to rebuild. Plans for a finer and more beautiful Lon- don still exist only on paper. • Transportation- is much better than we expected. Taxicabs are under severe restrictions as to gas and speed, but it is possible to get one when._required with_ a .-4tle ,,delay. The principal method of travel in Lon- don is to take the underground or a bus, and there are plenty of. the lat- ter. Thep are of the double •deck type.

The l,.p don subway system is said to -be the,,..finest jh the world, and it probably is. Most of the subways are much deeper in tthe ground than those in America. For that reason they have suffered little or no damage, and the stations make excellent shelters.

Another restaurant had a sign: "This restaurant will stay open dur- ing raids as long as the walls are standing." Another signs on a badly wrecked -building read; "You may think this is bad, but you should see our Berlin branch." On the whole, we found the people of London to be cheerful and optim- istic, so busy at the task of winning the war, that they have little time for anything else. Everyone is anxious to .help strangers (and the city is full of them), so we found it surpris- ingly easy to make our way around. Anne Allan invites you to write to her c/o The Huron Expositor.

He left his job in the shipyard to go " into logging. But his health suffered and the doctor says he's got to take a complete rest. But we haven't any ready money. How can he rest?" The bank manager, listened to her troubles sympathetically. He knew the husband, knew the wife—both sound citizens. The bank advanced the p. money on personal security ....on the good char- acter of two honest, hard-working people. In a few weeks,. Fred was well again and work- ing in the shipyard. The loan was paid back in full. Because of bank accommodation he is now getting financially on his" feet again—and aiding Canada's war effort.

Canada is to reach 'the goal of iits '1943 quota of bacon for the Brit- ish ministry of •food, more hogs will have to be diverted from the home market and turned into the proper channels for export trade. To place further restrictions on the slaughter of hogs 'for the home market, the •Canadian bacon board, with the con- currenne of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board recently issued a new order. • The order does not apply, to farm- ers who slaughter hogs for use in their own households. Many opera= tors have been operating under license from the bacon 'board. , They have been, and still are, restricted to kill- ing ' only 50 per. cent. of their average weekly kill in 1940, for the home mar- ket. Many of those'who slaughtered hogs fol-'sale.aduringr-the past were -.not lit= ensed by the bacon board, but receiv- ed a slaughtering permit from the Wartime Prices ,board. Those who have been slaughtering only under the Permit issued by the Wartime Prices board, will -now'Fe liiiiited`liy"'-the ba-_ con board to 75 per cent. of their av- erage weekly kill for the home mar- ket in 1941.

Sed- ondly, „'they apply • to those who slaughter hogs for sale to 'serve: com- munities of 5,000 population or more in Quebec, • the Maritimes and in the Prairie Provinces. Thirdly, they ap- ply to the area known as greater Van- couver.

The .person- nell of -this team included: George Greenslade, .Bob MeMordie, T. N. For- syth, Tom Doig, Jim McGregor, Stew- art 'McMordie; John Balfour, Joe'Day- man, W. ,Cumming, Bab Dick and Dave Workman. Other teams about the turn of the century included: Dan Bell, Dave Blair, Gib Sinclair, Bob Cooper, Bob Dayman, John- McKay and W. J. McLean. The latter 'played with the Hurons of Seaforth in a game against the famous Corinthians at Seaforth in August, 1906. Many other teams bf later dates are quite within the meiiibry of present-day citi- zens. In this paragraph we record the de- lightful evenings -spent in the homes - in Kippen arid in the neighboring farm homes, some twentyfive or more years ago, when the . Kippelz, .Reading Circle' was initiated, "chiefly by• Mrs. Aiken of the Manse. Both old and Young.wouldgather to read and dis- cuss the plays and the poems of Shakespeare, Burns, Tennyson, Long- fellow, • Dickens, Byron, Scott, Cole- ridge, 'Pope, Pauline Johnston}, Bliss Carmen and others. It has been said that outside of the Inspired and Sac- red page, our poets` are our greatest teachers. When we listen in on many of the radio quiz 'programs, some of us are thrilled at hearing the answers of the contestants, to such questions as: Who was Portia? Quote as much as you can of her notable address to Shylock. Who wrote, the poem entit- led "The Courtsiliiii of Miles Stand - Sugar Needs "I• haven't done any canning for several years. Should I plan to can this year and if so, how can I esti- mate the amount of sugar I'll need?" , A good many women are in .just this position. They feel that • they should take part in the. Horne Can- ning program but because they have not done any canning for the last few years they are at a loss' to know how much they should plan to do. • "The Consumer :Section of the Do- minian Department of Agriculture suggests that consideration be given the following points: 1. What are your weekly purchases of canned fruits? Two tins of com- r•ereially canned fruits are the equiv- alent of one quart of home - canfted fruit. ' 2. The greatest possible use must be made of fresh fruits this year sb may count on using canned- "ruita for six months of the year. If you have been buying two tins of fruit a week your family 'could use a quart of home cahn•eda•fruit instead, or a total of 26 quarts "ifi six months. 3. Storage sipace must now 'be caan- sidered. Improper storage of home canned fruits may lead to spoilage, so don't plan to can more fruit than you, can store properly. -. 4. The question if jars must also be considered.

Just the other evening, as we were writing this paper, the question came over the radio: "Name three .characters in the `Chrisiinas Carol.' Who was the author of the story?" - Last, but not -leant, of the many or- ganizations in the life of our village, was the formation of the Kippers East Women's Institute, which, even be- fore the outbreak of the present world war, carried into fruitition many phil- anthropic and praiseworthy projects. During the present strenuous Oar years, this organization; with its in- defatigable president and its other un- flagging officials, and members, have 'been ever mindful of the comforts and necessities of our boys overseas; a list of whose names follows: The .Chipchase boys, Albert, •Bill,and Jack; the Taylor boys, John, Mel and Sid- ney; Frank Y lung, George Few, Wil- fred Cameron, Tom Smith and Victor Black.

One of the most popular just now is "Monolulu" who waves a number of flags in the air, and talks about what the" negroes have done to help the world. He wears a colorful costume to add to the show.
