CERTO IS PECTIN EXTRACTED FROM FRUIT THE BLIND AND THE WAR According to a report made the other day by Lindsay Williamson, supervisor of employment for The Canadian National Institute for the Blind in Ontario, there are twenty- two blind or partially blind men and women engaged in Avar indus­ try in Ontario. Six men and three women are employed assembling parts of war machines in some of Canada’s largest industrial plants. In a factory in a small Ontario town, there is a young lady gaug­ ing fuses. In another plant, there is a man filing off the rough edges of shell castings. The few wooden parts incorporated in the modern warplane must be perfect, and in one great aeroplane works not far from Toronto there is a blind man re­ gularly employed on a hand-sand­ ing operation. There are men work­ ing at drill presses and milling ma­ chines, and in several of the new warplants the restaurant is operated by The Canadian National Institute for the Blind, with a trained blind operator in charge. The war has provided some em­ ployment for a few blind workers, but it has hardly solved the prob-, lem of blindness. In addition to; finding employment for capable' blind workers, the C.N.I.B. conducts a series of services which helps to make life worth living for those who are in the unemployable group. Dur­ ing the twenty-four years in which The Institute has been functioning, the lives of hundreds of blind people have been transformed by the ,ser- vices ‘which The Institute was able to bring to them. Those services have been continued through the years of prosperity, the years of depression, the years -of peace and the years of war, and will be con­ tinued. The Institute needs the help of the public to carry on its great work. In Exeter on. Sept. 12th there will be a tag day under {the auspices of the Exeter Committee for the Blind. The committee com­ prises Mrs. (Dr.) Anderson, (Dr.) Dunlop, Mrs. Kyle and Taylor. RIED IN TORONTO Mrs, S. B. LouisThe death of Mr. Milfred Uttley, youngest son of the late Mr. and’ Mrs. Wm. Uttley, of Zurich, took place at Western Hospital, To­ ronto, on August 27th, after a short illness in his 31st year. Mr. Uttley before going to Toronto was for some years employed in the Kalb- fleisch planing mills, and was a very accomplished wood worker, which 'trade he followed in Toronto. Sur­ viving are his widow, four broth­ ers, Joseph, of St, Marys; Ralph of London; Herbert and Frank of Zu­ rich; also five sisters, Mrs. C. Wilds and Mrs. Jos. Wilds, of Dashwood; Mrs, Burke and Mrs. Ross, -of To­ ronto; and Mrs. Wm. Witmer, of Zurich. The funeral was held from St. Mary’s Roman Catholic church and burial was in Mount Hope ■ .cemetery, Toronto.—Zurich Herald I In describing the simple ceremonies that took place at the graveside of the Duke of Kent, the narrator spoke of the arrival of the poor young wife upon the arm of the Queen (and indeed our hearts, go out to her and her children in this dark hour). Then, he saicb came Queen Mary, ’’erect and alone”. These words seem peculiarly fitted to a description of the aging Queen. Moving always in that “fierce white light which beats upon a throne", she has carried herself with supreme dignity, erect in stature and in spirit, moving forward serenely and, steadily in the path of duty, often alone in her uncompromising disapproval of what she considered unworthy and foolish. Her’s has been no easy life, The fair-haired, blue­ eyed, purely English princess was immensely popular with the common people and this popularity she has retained in unparalled degree, through­ out her whole life, mainly by sheer' worth and devotion. Her girlhood was shadowed by the death of the young Duke of Clarence, whom she was to have wed. In the early years of her married life as Duchess of Cornwall and York, she toured the distant corners of the Empire with her hus­ band, the future King George V and <?ne can well imagine how wearied she must have grown of all the fuss and movement and how greatly she must have longed tp be back with her little children at York Cottage. Dur­ ing the turmoil of the first World War her youngest son died, his passing almost unnoticed by all but his parents. During the terrible depression that succeeded that conflict, the royal couple felt most keenly the burden that bore upon their people. While still deep in the grief occasioned by the death of King George, the Queen Mother1 was compelled to face the disappointment that must have been occasioned by the abdication of Edward, the young king, and one remembers with amazement how a hurt and deeply angry people paused to listen with respect to*the mother who pleaded for patience with her son. At the coronation her popularity was such that it was Said of her that her entrance into the Abbey almost “stole the show”. ■ . Plunged once more into the horrors of war, this woman of peace has turned again with her fine courage to the service of suffering. Now like so. many other' women, she must know the pride and agony of the supreme surrender to the cause of freedom. In this, at least, she is not alone. First in the long line of sacrificial mothers, this Queen who has been one wyth the family of the Empire, stands beside it to the bitter end, for “iir- death they are not divided." - * TO OWM ItS OF GASOLINE APPLIANCES (such as stoves? heaters? lamps? irons? etc.) 3 USING <n> -The Missus LONDON BRIDGE CANNOT FALL DOWN ('ARE OP OUT FLOWERS “London Bridge is falling down,” we hear' the mad Hun cry; Each city shorn, each village torn, by terror from the sky.

We appreciate this will inconvenience our many friends who have been using Blue Sunoco in gasoline-burning appli­ ances, because, as you know, gasolines which contain lead should not be used in gasoline stoves, heaters, lamps, irons, blow-torches, etc. Therefore, we advise that Blue Sunoco should not be used .in any gasoline-burning appliances and should not be used for cleaning purposes. It is to be used only as a fuel for automobiles, trucks, tractors, etc. 1 Sin Oil Company- Ltd. scrap The order also provides: Infractions of the shew regulations are subject to a fine of Up to $5,000, ar imprisonment of tip to five years, or both fine and imprisonment.

This good and wholesome vegetable deserves more general popularity than it now enjoys. A generous; producer and a good keeper, it can contribute greatly to the Winter store of nutritious foods. ’ Most recipes call for baked squash. Personal experience leads to the suggestion that it is always better to steam the .vegetable first. This can be done by using a steam­ er or more conveniently by invert­ ing the halves over a small depth of hailing water. When the flesh can be pierced with a fork, remove the halves and spread with a little butter and sprinkle with salt, pep­ per and sugar and set in a fairly hot oven to brown. Simply mash­ ed and seasoned, squash is a fine accompaniment to any meat or fill­ ed with a seasoned bread-crumb dressing and baked ft is especially good* If any squash is left over from a meal it may be spread on a but­ tered plate in pies or pumpkins, stored in a celery flour salt butter f find dried for Winter use as u. vegetable.
