OLD STANDBY IS HOT
MEAT ,PIE
lisllo Homemakers! 'dust as soon
;44.the winds pipe a little higher, men -
:elk (especially) praise a hot meat
Erle. And we homemakers sihou1d
'•Slnfle because it's a splendid 'way to
'else up those ends ,,from the small
:avast.
If you are buying meat for pie,
Choose a piece of round steak or lean
brisket and cut it into cubes (about
2 -inch size). Brown the meat in a
little fat, using a frying pan; then
empty into a narrow, dep pot with a
tight fitting lid so it can stew away
without scorching. Add a tin of con-
somme, or 4 cups tomato juice, or a
cube of concentrated• beef dissolved
in water, or vegetable juices to cov-
er, and let it simmer while you pre-
pare cubed carrots, sliced onions and
, some diced celery which you put in
along with seasonings. Let it sim-
mer (not too, fast) until done and
serve with a lot of parsley sprinkled
on top. For a special pie, put into a
casserole, stir in one-half cup sliced
mushrooms and top with a good pie
crust. Bake until richly browned.
A good old-fashioned beefsteak and
kidney pie is a favourite, and it's the
most savoury of meat dishes with its
rich gravy and topping of light fluf-
fy biscuit or flaky pie pastry.

THE QUESTION BOX
Mrs. R. B., asks: "What causes
grape jelly to become granular?"
Answer: Grape juice should mel-
low by standing overnight before it
is boiled to jellying point. Or, Ape
much sugar may have been the cause.
Mrs. J. T. suggests a small strip of
leather makes an excellent button
loop on garments that get hard wear.
Use scraps from old gloves or hand-
bags.

GARDEN HOSE CARE
In the •autumn the garden hose
should be carefully drained of water,
coiled so that there are no kinks or
bends and storedooff the ground, so
that it will dry out free of dirt and
grit.

JIM: We've done our share every Ioan. So
it should be a tidy sum.
MARY: It is, but I wish we had a lot more.
There is nothing like preparing for
a rainy day, and buying Victory Bonds
is one of the best ways to save.
JIM: Well, let's see.. We ' bought a $ 100
bond the first loan,. and found it so
easy to pay for ojthe instalment plan
that we doubled that for the second
and third loans. That's $500 right
there!
MARY: Then, the last loan,to help back the
attack, we signed up for a $500 bond.
'JIM: Well, in the next loan, we'll take
another $500 -bond ... and a little bit
more. That will give us a nice nest-
wegg for the future. When peace comes

we can start building that home we've
got planned. And there'll be plenty of
good business opportunities to look
into.
Besides all the things we'll be needing
when everything is available again.
•
JIM: But by gosh, Mary ... despite the
kick we get out of providing for the
`future, I get my greatest thrill in
knowing the money we lend is help-
ing to beat the enemy` ... to bring
our troops home quicker ... andmake
this a better world for our children
to grow up in. 1
MARY: It all ties,together, Jim. By investing
everythinwe can in Victory Bonds,
we are being practical as well as
patriotic. ''Bat's why, with victory on
the way, we should save harder than

The question is often asked: Aow
many people are in Ottawa now? The
1943 directory gives it as 223,103, au
increase of 14,313 in the past year.
That is, of course, Greater, Ottawa. A
survey shows; and this is •interesting
in the light of .the housiiig shortage;
that there are 13,973 houses; ,3,382
duplexes, 658 triplexes, 837 apartment
houses and 723 stores with apart-
ments over them. Still they're thou-
sands abort.

Something else I have 'been asked
about and might as well get it off my
chest. There are,124,000 civil service
employees in Canada:. 34,000 in Ot-
tawa. One day last week medicine -
went on mass production in the na-
tion's capital when •the 34,000 start-
ed stepping before the X-ray camera
for tuberculosis survey. It• will take
three months to do the job. Two out
of every thousand, it is expected, will
show unsuspected touches of T.B.

Highest rating of radio programs in
Canada goes to "Soldier's Wife," the
serial which by a happy thought em-
anated from the Information Branch
of the Wartime Prices and Trade
Board' in Ottawa. It .has a rated lis-
tening audience of 500,000 and has
proven so successful in putting over
necessary information, in addition to
giving splendid entertain"rnent, that
other government departments— un-
derstand—are thinking' of something
along the same lines. It's" a home-
spun program, which makes it worth
while.

Plans are being pushed along for
the establishment of five projected
health and occupational centres for
discharged personnel of the armed
forces. According to the Department
of Pensions and National Health,
these centres will prepare those, who
are not fully fit, for employment.
Centres may be at or near Ottawa,
Toronto, Montreal, London, Ont:, and
Vancouver. .It is hoped to have one
ready by next spring. That is plan-
ning in the right direction for a prob-
lem which must be faced.
* *.*
What a mess of misunderstanding
can belch forth and trouble people
and officials alike! That is proven in
the recent Rush case at -Toronto
where a fine of $50 was imposed on
an alleged farmer for having had his
wife with him as passenger in a farm
truck, contrary to Prices Board regu-
lations. The press played it up, peo-
ple thought tbat was small potatoes
anyway. A.. statement later issued, by
Donald- Gordon,. Board Chairman, indi-
cates that Rush was not a farmer; it
wasn't a farm truck; it was transport-
ing no freight or produce; and the
magistrate who tried the case and
had the evidence, dubbed it ''deliber-
ate waste of gas, tires, etc."
The Board has,.however, now clari-
fied the order, which is something
that the Rush case helped to do any-
way. A new order will allow pas-
sengers" to be carried in the cab of
a truck, provided it is transporting
goods. Exempt from restrictions will
be use of truck, to carry persons to
and from places of worship or a re-
ligious ceremony.

In a release, Munitions Minister
Howe makes it clear that there was
no arbitrary date set before which no
furnaces could be lighted. He points
out that, there should be no misun-
derstanding, •only . regional weather
conditions can determine the length
of the heating season. Besides the
conservation of fuel, which everyone
knows is tied up with our war effort,
authorities are cognizant of the ne-
cessity of preserving the people's
health, too.

"Don't be discouraged it your Vic-
tory Garden didn't turn' out so (hot,
in effect says James Gallagher, head
gardener of the Dominion Experimen-
tal Parra in Ottawa. Which means try
again. 'He points out that fall is the.
best time to dig the land and by the
middle of October all later vegetables
should be harvested. Another point
he makes is that at this time the
land should be cleared of refuse and
burned. He warns against digging
leaves and roots into the ground be-
cause•they are disease breeders.

That some folks :don't give a hoot
about the equal distribution of foods
was shown in a story in the Ottawa
Journal, related by a shopkeeper who
was blazing mad because a woman
came in with a big dog, evidently her
pet. She ordered two ice cream cones,
one for the dog, the other for her.
Refused, she vented her wrath 'on ev-
erything from the government up and
down.

and ends: Field dodder, ,a
weed which germinates into stuff re-
sembling pale yellowish hair, is con-
sidered a menace to Canadian farms.
Like a vine it coils itself around the
nearest plant available. The Domin-
ion Experimental authorities want
farmers, where it is prevalent, to get
advice about it from their nearest ex-
perimental farm or agric}iltural re-
presentative, and don't sew clover,
alfalfa or flax where dodder is found.
. The Fifth Victory Loan to "Speed
the Victory" will have two .maturi-
ties, one at 3% maturing January 1,
1959, the other at 13/4% -maturing May
1, 1947, both being dated 1T ,ember
1, 1943; the minimum objective for in-

This, I think, needs further public-
ity: Western Canada farmers -want-
ing to ship feed grain to Eastern Can-
ada for use on their own farms or for
sale to relatives on farms can get
cars through the Canadian Wheat
Board. Freight assistance and other
related subsidy plans may be claimed
against such shipments by the Pura
chasing farmer who buys feed grain
direct from the western grower. Pur-
chaser gets in touch with Feed Ad-
ministrator, 640 Confederation Build-
ing, Ottawa (for subsidies); for cars,
write Canadian Wheat Board, Winni-
peg.

Do you know that Canada is now
producing ,95 per cent of the combin-
ed nickel output of the United Na-
tions, 20 per cent "of the zinc, 121/2 per
cent of the copper, 15 per cent of the
lead, 75 per cent of the asbestos and
20 per cent of the mercury. Our alum-
inum production is now six times that
of 1939 and equals the entire world
production of that year.

Where does all Canada's war pro-
duction go, is something folks might
be interested in. Well, about 30 per
cent is delivered directly to the Can-
adian armed forces at home and
abroad. The rest goes to Britain, the
United States, India, Africa, Russia,
China, Australia, New Zealand and to
the South Pacific—in short to all the
fighting fronts of the United Nations.
Canadia nworkers and producers need
not be •ashamed of their contribution
and will not be' when the history of
this war is written.
Milk bubsidies
With further reference to the appli-
cation of subsidies for the production
"of .dairy products, as announced re-
cently by Hon. James, , G.• Gardiner,
Minister of Agriculture, and adminis-
tered by the Agricultural Food Board,
the Board has made the following ex-
planatory •statement:
"The Board is authorized to apply
the subsidy of fifty-five cents per 100
pounds on milk for fluid Consumption
in all areas 'where such subsidy is
cpnsiderea necessary to maintain pro-
duction. In other areas where the
previous rate of subsidy, viz. twenty-
five cents per one hundred pounds, is
considered adequate this subsily will
apply. The subsidy of thirty cents
per hundred pounds for milk which
is concentrated will be extended to
apply on milk used in the manufac-
ture of skim milk powder provided
that the milk or butterfat is not oth-
erwise subsidized. The granting .of
such subsidies will be considered on
receipt of recommendations from Pro-
vincial Milk Boards or Commissions.
"In the case of milk manufactured
into Cheddar cheese for which a sub-
sidy of thirty centsper hundred
pounds is firovided, application should
be made by the management of the
cheese factory on forms supplied- for
