About 1,000 hand -colored copies of it were issued at one shilling each, the card portraying a convivial family gathering sandwiched between one scene depicting the hungry being fed and another showing the naked being .clothed. It was designed by the Royal • Academician, J. C. Horsley. Its printer was Mr. Jobbins, - of Hol- born, its publisher Joseph Cundall, of Old Bond Street, and its origina- tor Mr. (afterwards Sir) Henry Cole; who became the first Director of South Kensington Museum. Queen Victoria was the first Bri- tish monarch to use Christmas cards, She ordered eighteen in 1845, From then onwards the demand steadily grew, and in the sixties and seventies the trade began to . assume large proportions, largely as a result of Charles Dickens' policy of popularizing Christmas in his novels. Cosy inn scenes be- gan to appear, snowbound cottages and picturesque coaches, fancily gatherings at the festive board. Just before Ole war there was a serious decline in the sale of cards showing such traditional scenes, but now the demand is as great as ever. The change is thought to indicate a wish to es- cape back to the "good old days." Cards meant for overseas sale differ from those on sale here. Those for India have elephants in place of reindeer, those for Austra- lia may depict surf riding, One Indian prince ordered cards costing $125 each and worded: "All praise to Allah, the God, the Most ' High!"

Wash and dry thor- oughly and stick on wooden skew- ers. Put sugar, syrup and % cup of the evaporated milk in a large heavy kettle. Stir to blend well. Heat slowly until sugar is dissolv- ed, stirring constantly. Then cook briskly to a thick syrup, stirring all the while. Add, remainder of milk slowly, keeping mixture boil- ing briskly, and cook to firm ball stage (242 degrees F.), stirring constantly to prevent scorching. Remove from heat and let stand until caramel stops bubbling. Work- ing quickly, dip apples, one at a time, in caramel and twirl to get rid of surplus coating and stake smooth. Place on heavy waxed pa- per to set. If coating becomes too lard for dipping, add, a little eva- porated milk and reheat, stirring to keep smooth. The caramel should be kept quite hot so that coating will not be too heavy. Makes 15 to 20 caramel apples. To decorate skewers \Vind skewers with narrow col- ored Scotch tape before skewering apples. « * * CARAMEL POPCORN BALLS « * * .3 quarts popped corn 1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed 3/ cup light corn syrup 1/2 teaspoon salt 11/2 teaspoons vinegar / cup evaporated milk After corn' is popped, keep hot and crisp in slow oven (300 de- grees F.) while caramel coating is being prepared.

Take pop- corn from oven and put in a large mixing bowl, Return syrup to heat and bring to a' boil. Stir in' milk slowly, keeping candy boiling all the while. Cook candy over medium heat to soft crack stage (280 de- grees I'.) again, stirring constantly. Pour immediately over popcorn. Stir quickly while pouring so that all the popcorn will be well coated.

P Cta>,ke One day last week there was a knock at our front door, When I opened it there stood an army sergeant and his young wife - looking for a place to live, Actually they came here by mistake thinking it was the house to which they had been directed. I asked them in and the story they told me made my heart ache, Previously stationed at Camp Borden, this sergeant, six weeks ago, had been transferred to another district and had been house - hunting ever since -for an apart- ment, a house, or four unfurnished rooms. There were places which they could have rented -until the owners learned that besides tb.a man and itis wife there were also three small children, And the doors were figuratively shut in their faces. "Apparently we committed' a crime in having children," the dis-' couragcd young mother told nue. "And what are you doing in the meantime?" I inquired. "One child is with her grand- mother ;two brothers live with my sister, and my husband and I are staying at an hotel. The children are five, four and two," Believe me, I wanted to tell the young couple to collect their child- ren and move right in ... they were. such nice young people and I felt so sorry for the youngsters. But offering to take a family into your home isn't as simple as that. We have enough room, it's true, but yet the house is not adapted for two families -especially if newcomers have been used to a city hone, Country plumbing itself presents , one problem. A septic tank cannot quite take the place of sewerage system. It has to be treated with greater respect -and that is some- thing city people never seetn to realize. And there is always the possibility of a water shortage. Giving up a number of rooms also means a reorganization of the farm family's way of living -rand that isn't always easy. On a faint extra room is needed for so many jobs - heavy washing; cleaning, packing and storing eggs; room for ball stage (248• degrees' F.), stir- ring,•constantly. Pour into buttered pan. When cool enough to handle, pull until candy is light and no longer sticky to the touch. Lay out on waxed paper or battered pan. Cut with scissors, Wrap in waxed paper. Makes about • 2 pounds. - Brown Sugar Taffy: Use 1 pound brown• sugar in place of the 2 cups granulated sugar. . Cocoa Taffy:. Mix t, cup cocoa with the sugar and cook with the syrup, salt and vinegar, then proceed as above. Molasses Taffy: Omit corn syrup and use 1 cup molasses. Peppermint Taffy: Make a recipe of Vinegar Taffy. When taffy is cooked, remove from heat., When mixture stops bubbl- ing, add 1/2 teaspoon :peppermint extract and mix well, Pour taffy syrup into a tneasttring' cup to the 1/2 cup level. Pour remaining,taffy syrup .into a lightly buttered pan. Add 6 to 8 drops of red food col- oring to the / cup syrup and mix well; Pour this colored syr% p into a small lightly 'buttered pan and allow to cool. Pull when cool enough to handle and set aside on a piece of waxed paper. When remainder of taffy is cool • enough to handle, divide. into halves and pull each half until light in color and no longer sticky to the touch. Lay each half on a piece of waxed patter andpull into a rope of even thickness, Take half of the colored taffy, lay 'it on top of •the white taffy and pull the two together. Cut with scissors. \Vrap in waxed paper. IMPIO occasional hired help; space for the\variety of outdoor clothes and boots that men need according to the weather=and even rootn for the various cats and dogs that conte to the house for warmth and comfort in winter time . . , animals that may be treated as pets but are yet necessities for farm life. Talking it over with Partner afterwards and saying how selfish I felt in not inviting this young couple to share our home, Part- ner said, "And what would you do with your junk -you need a big house • for all the stuff you keep around?" Well, that had me stump- ed! Maybe I ant no worse than any other farm housewife -I don't know -but I certainly manage to spread things around. But eventu- ally I make use of what has been saved. This week, for instance, I ant hoping to send away 24 pounds of woollen goods to a factory to be converted into blankets. But 24 pounds of woollens -old socks and sweaters -cannot be accumulated overnight, so they are naturally cluttering up some roots or closet! But women are not the only clutter -uppers! My goodness, Part- ner has enough old nails around to build .a house -except that half of them are , bent and rusty and couldn't be used anyway, Yet every time a box or a building is demolished the nails must still be saved. And Bob has a five -gallon can full of nuts and bolts -and woe betide any of us who throws even one of them away. But if you notice -whatever a person saves is al- ways "junk" to others but priceless to himself, One of my collections is buttons -utility buttons, not collector's items. No garment is ever discard- ed. until the buttons have been re- moved. As a result whether I make a shirt, a dress or a pair of py- janias, it is never necessary to buy buttons. Most of what I have are sorted as to colour and size, and then sewn on to cards just as you find them in a store. Not much point in saving buttons if they are all jumbled up together so that you have to waste precious time finding out whether you have two or a dozen of any one kind. Zippers can. also be saved and used again- 'providitig they still zip. And here is a way to save your eyes. The time-honoured way , to thread a needle is to hold it over something white, But. for quickness try this: hold needle between thuntb and middle finger, raise index finger to forst a background for the needle and you have it threaded in two shakes. Just as simple as that!

By Anne Ashley Q. How can I remove the dry, roughened skin on the elbows? A. This may be removed by using cuticle remover from the manicure set. Moisten the elbows thoroughly with the preparation, wash with warns water and pure soap, and rub with a Turkish towel. • • * Q. How can I cause playing cards to elide easier? A. If a thin coating of liquid wax is applied to each card, both face and back, they will slide much easier and will also be protected from soil and wear. * * * Q. How can I make a good ce- ment for broken china? ' A. Mix plaster of Paris with the white of an egg until the consist- ency of cream. Apply and allow to harden before using. * • • Q. What is one of the biggest factors in the laundering of clothes? A. One of the biggest factors in the whiteness of white clothes and the clearness of colored clothes is thorough rinsing. Rinse until the water is clear and absolutely free of any suds. * * • Q. How can I remove an obstin- ate cork from a bottle? A. Dip a piece of woollen cloth into boiling water and wrap tightly about the neck of the bottle. In a few minutes the cork can be re- moved. * * * Q. How can I prevent chapped hands? A. Apply glycerine and rosewater or lemon juice, several tinges daily and at night before retiring. * * * Q. How can I lengthen the life of candles? A. Take each candle by the wick and give it a good coating of white varnish. The varnish will keep the grease from running down and will thus preserve the life of the candle. * * * Q. What can I do when I have discovered too much salt has been added to cooking food? A, Stretch a clean cloth tightly over the vessel and sprinkle one tablespoonful of flour over the cloth. Allow it to steam for a few minutes and the flour will obsorb the salt. * * *: Q. How can I remove white spots on furniture caused by hot dishes or water? A. Rub the spots with a mixture of machine oil and soda. * * * Q. How can I induce sleep? A, A small dose of soda taken in a glass of waren water before retiring will often induce sleep in restless persons. Cobalt "Bomb" A radioactive cobalt 50 cancer "bomb" similar to the two "bombs", recently made in Canada and in- stalled in hospitals of Ontario and Saskatoon now goes froin the Oak Ridge Institute to a Texas cancer hospital. The cobalt had to be seal- ed in a small air -tight container and transferred from a 6,000 -pound lead shield into the 2,000 -pound "bomb"—all under ten feet of wa- ter. And the cobalt had to be absolutely dry before being sealed. The loading was carried out with long tongs under water because of the cobalt's radioactivity. The unit was then housed in an underground building, with thick concrete walls, to be tested on animals. When the testing phase of the program is completed, the unit will be moved to Texas for treatment of cancer patients. It can be used as a bomb to take the place of much larger and more expensive X-ray machines. • tach trt,us;`i h asa.a„ vP3Tr.t io t. •. Meet The Champ—Framed by assoited cuts of meat, James Barry, celebrates his winning of the meat -judging contest at the inter- national livestock show. Barry scored 932 out of a possible 1040 points, trimming his nearest :opponent, Robert Kreiter, by three points. w ,A SXTC It isn't very often that you sec anything like real critiicsm of pro- fessional hockey in the Toronto dailies. This may be because the Maple Leafs most always have a team that is up-t,bere or there- abouts—or because the owner of two-thirds of the Queen City dailies is supposed to have quite a' senti- mental and financial interest in the Leafs—or because Conn Smythe al- ways had a shrewd appreciation of the value of publicity—or a com- bination of all three. You pays your money and takes your choice. * • * Anyway, it came as quite a sev- ere shock to many when they read in a recent column written by Jim V fond, sports editor of The Globe .and Mail, the following paragraphs: * * We hear, indirectly, that the Nat- ional Hockey League governors will meet in New York Wednesday, One of the topics on the agenda is said to be relations with the press. This has been written before, but it bears repeating: We do not think National Hockey League head- quarters yet realizes the press is the life -blood of professional sport, Newspapers spend vast sums to keep readers informed, yet fail to receive the co-operation necessary. The very fact neither President Cla- rence Campbell nor his publicity chief, Ken McKenzie, has seen fit to advise the newspapers of this week's meeting, points up a glaring weakness. Ne suggest the NHL governors should take a cue from their major league baseball brethren who are meeting in New York this week. Commissioner Ford Frick and his associates appear to have a much better working knowledge of the importance of keeping the press abreast of baseball times. Naturally the govenors of both baseball and hockey have problems concerning their business which have nothing to do with the pub- lic, but at least there should be some effect to keep the Fourth 'Way Back For "Layback"—Sixteen-year-old Sonya Klopfei prat• .tisAthis back -breaking routine for the Olympic tryouts. The figure she's executing,is the traditional "Iaybackr' in which she bends 'far ,back' and spins in one spot. • Estate informed of trends, directly and not through a house organ, * * * '1'o which sentiments a whole lot of hockey writers—even if they do it under the;r breath—and an even larger number of fans, will add a heartfelt "Armen" and "Thank you, \1r. Vipond," For more and more, in recent years, professional sports of all kinds in North Ameri- ca have conte . to resemble that critter in the Scriptures which, after putting on a lot of weight, ,started to kick its stall to pieces, (We just disremember the exact quotation but most of our readers will recall it, \Ve hope!) * * In other ,words, professional short has swelled up to the point where it thinks itself bigger and more im- portant than the forces which made it—said forces being the press and, to a minor degree, radio. * * * There are folks still alive who remember when the late H. J. P. Good, working on a Toronto daily, first grouped all the sports news on one page, instead of scattering the items throughout the paper as had been the custom. This, we be- lieve, had never been done before anywhere, and,marked the birth of the "Sports Section." (And, Lawd, look at the darned thing nowt * * * This grouping, which was widely copied, naturally tended to slake the public more sports-minded—as onlookers, that is—and as more and more high-class reporters were as- signed to sports, park turnstiles spun and box-office receipts mount- ed. Team owners and promoters prospered, and professional athletes became not only respectable but highly sought-after. In those days a prize-fighter wouldn't dream of seeking accommodation in a Grade A hotel, or a ball team of trying to eat in a high-class restaurant. Today, even our "best" people get a bang out of stopping under the salve roof as Jack Dempsey, and Toots Shor's New York place is jammed to the doors any ' time there's a chance of Joe DiMaggio dropping in. * * 4 •Not that there's anything wrong about this. We've known thousands of athletes' in our, time and, with a few exceptions, we're all for then. But what gets us is some of the "higher brass" of professional sport trying to high -hat the press and radio, forgetting that the same forces which made them could, as easily as not, destroy them. * * * - Newspaper publishers—a fairly hard-boiled lot mostly—have been remarkably soft and lenient with professional sport which is, after all, first and last a business propo- sition, They have given sports free publicity in quantities which makes men in other branches of the amuse- ment business—movies, for example —wring their hands in envy, Of course, the newspapers have gained readers and reader -interest by such extensive sports coverage. But— and this is the point that those engaged in professional sport should. by no means overlook — if such coverage' were to be cancelled, which would suffer the most, sports' or the press? * * * Some years ago we happened to be talking to a tnan who had made ISSUE 51 — 1951 New and Useful ..Classified Advertising.. ..

Maybe one of the kids had kept us awake the night before, or we'd had a battle with friend wife. "Listen," we said to him, "If it wasn't for the sports reporters all those highly -paid athletes of yours would be starving to death, What's more, if the newspapers treated you like other businesses and. only gave you the advance publicity your advertising entitles you to, within a 'year, you, yourself, would be looking for a job." * • * For a moment we thought he was going to pop us one, but that's the advantage of wearing glasses. There's a law against it. Then, after a moment or so, he cooled out, "You know, Six," he said, "Now I come to think it over, you're pro- bably dead right. But don't tell it to anybody else!" ' * * * And now that we've got rid of all that spleen, we're in a good enough mood—and have just suf- ficient space left to wish a Very Merry Chriitmas to one and all, professional sports included. Creating Life In Laboratory Meat is one of those things you can't keep out of the headlines. If it isn't in short supply, it's too expensive. Why is' it so important, apart from the fact that there are fewer' dishes more tasty than tender meat? What we get from it is protein- the body-building food that makes our muscles and flesh, hair and skin. The question scientists are try- ing to answer is whether they can manufacture synthetic protein and so make the need for meat less desperate. Can they, in fact, make protein? Proteins are the most complicated of all chemicals. 'l'hcy are the basic chemicals of life itself, and we've only just begin to understand them. Now Dr, Robert 1Voodward, a young American research chemist, has succeeded in making' a protein - like substance in his laboratory. Woodward has taken us 'a step along the road towards the solution of the nly;stery of living matter. Natty of the chemicals and secre- tion that control our body pro- cesses are also protein. What pos- sibilities await the chemist who can snake such things synthetically in his lahoratroy, Synthetic steaks would be only a minor outcome. Some of the viruses are proteins. These tiny organisms are respons- ible for many plant and animal diseases. Inside the body they can reproduce and multiply to give us diseases like infantile paralysis. Proteins are a link between the living .and the dead—and they now come within the scope of being made in a test-tube. Who knows what the outcome will be?

No, Christ slid not teach a vague belief in Providence. He was exact, specific. He came from , another universe into this world to explain to man the destiny that lies ahead of him. But more than that, He arranged to help elan fulfill his purpose. Knowing the human ten- dency to falter and fail in mind and will, Christ arranged to pre- serve both His truth and His help in the world for all time. "I am with you all through the days that are coaling, until the consummation of the world." The hind of Christ is revealed in the actions of the Apostles.
