;COOKERY METHODS OF
TURNIP
Belles Homemakers! The t r u t h
,.:about • turnips has given',"prominence
. to this vegetable which keeps us well
t,' provided during the entire winter.
There are two types of • tprnip—white
. and yellow (rutabaga). The white
rrturnip is milder flavored. but not as
'high in food value as •the yellow.
When . the yellow turnip is overcook-
ed it turns dark, is watery and gen-
erally
enerally unpalatable.
As a Canadian product turnips pro-
vide an ample amount Of Vitamin C
when served raw—combining the fact
that splinters of chilled ray turnip are
delicious. They also contain valuable
ininerals, provided .they are properly.
cooked, f.e., barely enough- water to
cover—and the drained -off juices are
used in the soup pot. And they are
an energy food to serve with meat,
Cush or eggs.
A.few extra hints:
1. Combine grated turnip with dice
e3 celery, chopped lettuce, cubed ap-
ple and salad dressing.
'2. Cut turnip into very small piec-
hs to cook. Cook only until tender.
3. Cubed, cooked turnips, white
sauce `made of part turnip liquid and
]milk) '.and. "cooked sausages make an
•appetizing dish. ' •
4 When mashing turnips .t'h e
m.4.•
thod is to add i,$ teaspoon sugar,
1 teaspoon lflodr, 1 cup top milk and
mash thoroughly. Add a pinch of nut
nieg for another variety..
5. Because of the pronounced, flay -
our of yellow 'turnips, we Iike to
mash it and' combine with an equal
amount of mashed potatoes..

Mrs. K. B. asks: Why does choco-
late and old cheese harden in a re-
frigerator? '
Answer: Chocolate and cheese"
harden in the refrigerator but they
,soften at room temperature because
the fat does not drain off as it does
when stored on the kitchen shelf.
These products should be thoroughly
wrapped in wan paper as the oho" -
late ,m,ay turn "grey and the aroma of
cheese may penetrate other foods,
MM. J. M. asks: In what •propor-
tions' do you substitute honey for
molesses?
Answer: Less soda is required
when substituting honey for ordinary
molasses. About i/ teaspoon of soda
is sufficient for one cup of honey.

Tea Is The Best
Commandos march better on tea
than on water.. This fact has been
deinonstrated by an official test re-
cently carried out in Great Britain: A
Canadian battalion was undergoing'a
12 -days course of battle. training. The
last six days were devoted niainle to
marching, and during the period the
foot -sloggers eovered more than 280
miles,- As an experiment,, three out
of four' platoons Were allowed to get
all the water they wanted: The mem-
bers of the fourth platoon were kept
entirely off water and were served
only :with tea. The "water platoons"
made good use of their water bottles,
but the "tea platoon" was the only
one to finish the course intact. Which
only goes to showthat there must be
something in the soldier's traditional
liking for "a cup of rosie lee,".

A brief summary or some of the
most potent features of the James Re-
port on Reconstruction, tabled in the
House of Commons, includes the !lig;
gestion that every, 'private enterprise
be encouraged to develop a ,gong -
range programme of capital expendi-
ture; and the recognition that labor
has a tremendous stake in the nation-
al economy, The Report doubts the
merit of consumers' sales tax. Con-
trols designed ,to restrict consumption
should be abandoned as soon as pos-
sible at. the end of the war but. the
committee feels that price controls,
some of them,' will be needed in the
transition period. They think wheat
should be made a .free -trade commod-
ity throughout --`the world and that
there should be., promotion .for in-
creased export. of Canadiag wheat ansi_
its products; new markets for farm
products should be developed, and re•
search on utilization thereof develop:
ed, It is suggested that there be
training of 15,000 men a year in the
next five years, and a Dominion For-
est Act to extend forest research and
management, Visioned le creation of
a National . Development Board to co-
ordinate construction projects. These
and many other things give us a fleet-
ing glimpse ofwliat may be, after this
war. Some of the features may not
'be implemented, •butwe're making a
start now by planning and thinking,
as people in the communities -in the
smaller spheres` .of things—are doing.

Under Order•in-Council the Depart-
ment of Labour note has, authority to
extend assistance 'to provincial gov-
ernments .to pep up apprenticeship
training. This is designed to relieve
in any way, the responsibility, prim-
arily, of industry and trade unions -
An apprentice is defined as: "A per-
son at' least 16 years•who enters into
a written agreement With an -.employ-
er to learn a skilled trade requiring
a minimum of 4.000 hours ,continuous
empl»yment and which provides a
urogram of practical experience and
related technical .instruction for such
person." For the fiscal year 1944-45
the Dominion 'fund'available for.prov-
inces is not to go higher than $250,-
000, but for later fiscal years is to be'
raised to a million dollars a year.
Suitable trade training for young folk
is the idea behind it all.
