I usually write about a week ahead in order that the paper will know the space re- quired. It is very blustery today and with the cold air appetites for desserts will burn up the extra calories, with snow shovelling and more outdoor activities. Hot desserts can be eaten at this time of year with enjoy- ment and are delectable meal finishers. Fruit cake left over from the holiday season will steam up nicely. Place in tinfoil and a steam- er, heat well, make a hot but- ter sauce or hard sauce. These two recipes I gave you in the late November issue. Baked apples, washed and cored and filled with fruit cocktail and basted with the syrup is wholesome and not too sweet. Served warm is best. Custard sauce can be poured over when serving.

Food must be produced for over -populated countries. Food is the most important single factor in life and the farmer is the most im- portant man. Farming is a highly skilled trade, Mrs. Anderson said. She told her audience that if farm- ers had ships on a co-operative business, they could carry all the needed commodities to India and other count ries, and bring back their products which are used in this country. Mrs. Anderson was on the Provincial Council for four years. She was the member ap- pointed to go to Queen's Park to meet with provincial mini- sters. Many things presented by the women did not please the ministers and there were some- times heated discussions. The speaker suggested that a Council of Women in every town could be benificial. All women have an important part to play and they should help create a healthy atmosphere for all. Miss I. Patton thanked Mrs. Anderson and presented her with a gift.

On Dangers of Pellet Guns In the past few years a new deadly weapon has been flood- ing the market, no doubt as a silent hunting or target gun. This is the "air -operated pellet rifle", usually in the form of a small size rifle that opens up at the breach. A flanged pellet is inserted, the rifle is then closed and the pellet can be sent on its way by pulling the trigger. It is an innocent looking weapon and many people have the mistaken idea that this rifle is the same as the "BB" rifle that has been popular among the younger set formany years. The pellet gun is not a BB gun, but is a most danger- ous weapon; many are just as powerful as the common .22 caliber rimfire rifle. The BB gun has a very short range and low speed and the BB will usu- ally not penetrate anything but the softest of tissue such as the eye, but the pellet rifle sends the flanged pellet at very high speeds and this pellet will pene- trate pine lumber at a sur pris- ing distance. Conservation officers have actually found eight and nine- year-old boys plinking around towns and villages with these deadly weapons. Many acci- dents have. been caused by the pellet gun in untrained hands in Ontario in the past year. The Game and Fish Act of Ontario was amended last year to include this rifle as a fire- arm under that act. This means that a hunting license is re- quired to carry this weapon in or near where game is usually found. In order to secure a hunting licence a person must be at least 15 years old and be qualified as a safe hunter -by a Safe Hunter instructor. The Department of Lands and Forests would like to warn all children and parents that the pellet gun is not a harm- less toy but a deadly weapon that will kill.
