Not in any part of Europe, not in RussIa nor in the British isles for that natter can Thanksgiving be celebrated this year. So every (uuadian citizen should usher in this old-time has• vest feast with 0 sincere prayer of Thanksgiving for a free country where the haimest is plentiful; where woccl and coal for winter fires can stili be had; where hearty laughter of young and old can still be heard; and where citizens may .worship on the .Sabbath as they wish, „ , Thenksgiving Day may 'be kept in the traditional way' — with fa - 'Ally gatherings' — but don't forget to keep your home open:, too, to some of the lovely boys and girls in the war services. You will get a thrill from: sharing your Thanks- giving dinner and serving the good old turkey in. all his glory to some of these young folk, RECIPES Braised Capon 4 -pound fowl, cleaned and trussed; 2 slices tat salt porkc, 1/4 inch thick; ••' 5 slices carrot, cubed; -14 onion,' li:•ed; 2 sprigs thyme; 1 sprig :ior fey; 1 bay leaf; 2 tbs, butter; 2 cups boiling. water or chicken stock.

Perhaps—but in any event a grand shot of a pienlc. Concentrate on action studies if you want to make this type of picture. 1� TO SUMMER is complete with - 1 1 out its share of picnics, and a picnic isn't a real success without some snapshots, So today let's see how we can make better snapshots to highlight those occasions. Suppose we take "action," that Is—people doing things—as the keynote of our project. Action plc. tures pack three times the punch, and are always far more interest- ing than the old-fashioned type pf "still" picture in which everyone stood smiling at the camera, If you concentrate on action, you can, for instance, get a picture of dad giving an exhibition of the "boarding house reach" as he stretches for another sandwich, Yoe. might, in another case, catch the youngest member of the family peering cautiously from behind a tree to see if the coast is clear as he plays "hide -and -seep," To make a completely rounded story of your photographic efforts, approach the subject ,just as a good news photographer might if he were out on a feature assignment. Start with a shot showing the folks putting the lunch basket into the car. If a stop is made on the way to the picnic to buy more provisions— shoot that..And be sure to get a gen- eral view of the scene, so that when other people see your pictures they will have an idea of the locale. After that, of course, you Dan pho- tographically follow whatever hap- pens. Try to catch the folks infer- malty—as in our illustration—while they're preparing the meal, eating, playing games, or even just sitting around talking. Don't encourage peo- ple to look at the. Camera—unless you particularly want such a shot. Tell them to look at 'what they are doing, or have them look at each other, and you'll get the best result$. Finally, take lots of snapshots. Every Shot may not t'u'n out as you' expected, but that way yott'1l be certain to get many good ones. 1397 Join Van Guilder ' THE BRUSSELS POST When cool, serve a tablespoon of whipped cream, flavoured with 0011150 tlttvouring, with, each serving, Spiced Loaf Cake (eggless) 1 cup sour milk, 3. cup cora syrup, 211 cups all-purpose flour, 1/a tep. salt, 3% tsps. balling socia, 2 taps. ginger 1 tap, cinnamon 4 tsp. claves 1/4 cup melted slrortendag, Method; Clinbine sour Milk and corn syrup.

You may rest assured that this money will he invested in a wort'h.- wltile cause when I say that I be- lieve it should go to the Chinese War' Relief. If this seems strange, I would like to explain just why I have selected this particular agency in this Case. In my experience in radio I have encountered many members of the Chinese race, T have always felt that their physchology of life, tiledr souse'• of honour and their respect our institutions are worthy of far more necogndtion than they get. For six long years the •Ohinese people have been invoied in -a war that in several instances makes our Dieppe rad look lithe a picnic. Aid has been reaching these people frgm the United States, Canada and ,other Allied Nations but until we actually became involved in the war our- selves we never quite appreciated the position those people were in. Naturally when this war hit closer to home the stories of courage and tenacity of ordinary people began to stand mut-particularly in the case of the dauntless British in, their oft -bombed cities. Tn`China, this cam- dition was commonplace. Not only did the Japanese bomb the cities, but they sent in armies to rape, loot and murder on a scale unprecedented in h!ilsfory, As I say it was not until we our- selves were in the same .position. that we began to undestand how big and how awe inspiring was the spirit of oven the hutmblest Chinaman. It's not a vary pretty picture I'll admit but it's a true one, unfortunately, and it's also true that .since we have become involved in this war we are inclined to forget exactly what this war means to other people. We're itchy in Canada, very lucky. The most we have to do is pay taxes and undergo the inconvenience of a rat- ion system, We didn't ask for this War — nor loci the Chinese. They were merely employed by the Jap- anese as living targets to train their machine-guns, their bont>uens and their riflemen for the big war a. geivat us, - Lately you may have noticed in the news that the Chinese army has stiCoeedetl 111 .starting a counter at- tack of their own, They've managed to push hook the Taps almost to the coast, and wIbtll 011' help — money, planes, food, alnmundtiom and med- ical supplies—thew may be able to keep on marching. That Is why . at this particular moment 3 feel Melia - ed to turn your money !over to the Chinese War Relief in Toronto. Again sincerest thanks for you'' Cpiondi1 contribution and donation a.nicl I hope to have the Secretary let you know himself how moll this money will mean to them.

BRUSSELS CREAMERY urged today by Lr, Thomas H. Hogg, chairman and chief engineer of The I-Iydlo1211ectnic Power Coni - fission of Ontaiilo. Among 'other things, he pointed out that while Ohe Controller's order had called for "at least 20 per cent rediuction' 'lit street lighting, this did not mesal that 20 per cent shodld be regarded a "a nilln111110111 reduc- tion," "Rather," he said, "all municipalities in the power shortage areas should curtali the use of electricity for street lighting to the lowest amount pos0ible, A cowcerte.d effort along these lines can sheet a very important Slaving," Presenting some interesting fig- ures on street lighting to Southern Ontario, Dr, Hogg stated- that the total load amounted to approximate- ly 30,000 horsepower, A 20 pea' cent neduotion, he said, wee equal to 6,000 horsepower, but a 60 per ceuit reduction would save 9,000 horse- power, The Toronto street lighting load, he continued, was 8,600 horse- power, and a 50 per cent reduction would save more than 4,000 horse- power, suflu•ient to operate a large munitions plant. The Hydro chairman declared that many municipalities had complied with the power restrictions in a manner which reflected 'a syinpa- thetic uncle:st'anding of the power shortage probienns confronting the Commission this winter. At the same time, he expressed "deep an - predation" for the fine response of the domestic consumers to the commission's appeal for voluntary conservation, "Hydro," continued Dr, Hogg, "is the vital driving fore 'back of the vast network of war industries in Outride, and we should spare no ef- fort which will assure an uninter- rupted flow these- industries during the Coming winter when we are faced with a serious power short- age.

Holidays Cut To Six By order -1n -council the Federal Government declared that only six statutory holidays should be observ- ed bsee'veul by employers and employees for 'he duration or the war, apart from Sundays or weekly days of rest apart from Sunday.
