DOMINION -PROVINCIAL COMMITTEE ON FARM LABOUR AGRICULTURE LABOUR - EDUCATION TALKING TO GOD By "PEG” In past years during the, ea'fiier days of radio we were accustomed to Bear the voice of Reverend Wil- liam Mien opening his morning devotions broadcast with the words, "Storm -swept skies' and the tumult of the day, hold no terrors' for those:Who know the secret of the quiet place.” We may recall that Rev. W. Alden was one of the pas- sengers who went down on, the dated Athena when she was sunk in the Atlantic just' a'few days after the beginning of the war, ,but those words still remain as a guiding signal . to those who are passing through dark waters, today, Perhaps at no time in the history. of the world have people needed guidance az they do today. Our boys and girls are coming home From overseas.

Or, perhaps you have added tome nese furniture or drapes, or, re- - arranged the furniture since his de- paa'ture. Those are stories -from -home pictures that are sure to make a big hit with anyone away from home. Some people believe that taking interiors is , one phase of photog- raphy tliat should bo delegated to the advanced amateur, They have 'the erroneous"idea, too, that lighting is ' quite a problem, The truth is, however; that taking pictures •in-' Ylopi-s is really quite easy, especially when made • by the "open flash!' inethod which'; is explained later in this .article. ere are a few pointers that may help' you in making interior pictures +such as •the one`abo`re: First, let's consider the arrangement of 'the fpr, nitare.,Aboid including large' pieces' of furniture in the immediate ,fore- . around ore--,ground because they might obcupy more Space in the picture than they deserve. Secondly, the camera should be placed on some solid object such as a, tripod, so that More of the floor than of • the 'ceiling can be seen in We' viewfinder. If the reverse, the. picture will look top-heavy and, out ,of proportion.' When you look into or at a i oom, your glance is natus rally rected Slightly downward at the furnituie'and„the`door and not at the >ceiling, `so. that: is ,the.;vieiv. you should see, in your -viewfinder. There are two very sbrhpie Methods of making interior pictures. One is the "open flash" and the other with the ordinary electric lightsregu- larly used in hoine lamps. Here's how you would make an "open flash" interior similar to the one accom- panying this article. First; have your .camera firmly placed on a tripod, a table or some solid object. After you' have, carefully composed your pier tore in the viewfinder and have your camera properly focused, set the ' shutter for "time" or "bulb"..Mend the lens aperture at+f/22;•if you are using super speed film, or at Y/16'. with ordinary film. With the room light turned on as usual. you are ready to make your "flash." Plate one of the small -type flash lamps in a battery -equipped hand refractor. With the reflector, held to the side of your camera and slightly higher than your head' and 'tilted down 'so as ;to direct the light onto your subject, open tile ' lens, flash the lamp, and itnrnediutely close`th'e shutter ... and you have made your picture, <.. If -,you do riot have. a flash refice tar-aiid cannot buy, borrow, beg, or steal one you can.use what is known as a ' nUin)ler, twenty-two :'ifask.uul+b in a floor lamp with the shade re- moved.

Just . what will things be like when I get home?• There .is doubtless much time spent in worrying about these things, needless worry. Thebe will be much re -adjusting to be done on both sides." There is, only one way in which happiness can •be accomplish- ed and that is through, prayer. Now just what is prayer? The Christian world of to -day ' likes to think that prayer is just talking to God, thanking Him for all the joys and pleasures He has a11owed to come into our lives and in time we will he grateful for the sorrows and trials which we are enduring. Christ is 'always ready to listen to us and to heip us bear our burdens. Do we ever offer .prayer to God and fail to thank Him for all He has done for us? When we finish •our prayer let us• :jtiet think whether we have done that or not. Do we make it a regular habit to spend .a space of time morning and night alone with God.? People take time for wbtat they call setting up exercises" and yet they forget to take even five 'minutes to talk to God, asking Hint to guide us' dur;ng the day. A friend recently said one would be surprised if they knew the different things he took to God in prayer. They were the simple every day 'things Which every Christian talks to God' about. For instance did you ever lose ':anything and could not find it? Then you have :asked God to help yon. Has He failed you? No, in many instances it was not long until you found the missing article. At tinges• our prayers are net answered, but if we pray asking that if it is God's will that our prayer should be •answered and we find that' our petition has not been granted then `we have the satisfac- tion and comfort of knowing thttt. God has some good reason for not giving us what we have asked for and we will receive a ' consolation from that. . We have an example of an answer to prayer, in that wonderful Bibli- cal story of the healing of Peter's wife's Mother. Her friends were present and His words tell us, "And anon they tell Him of her." Prayer is 'really just telling Jesus. We can tell Jesus things that we would not tell to an earthly friend. We may have and undoubtedly some of us have many many real true' friends and we feel that we can tell them things which are very Close to our ives but yet there are occasions when we talk only to Jesus about occurrences in our lives/ These friends of Peter's wife's Mother knew Jesus well enough to feel hat He would help them so they told Mm of the illness of the loved one. Jesus is our Friend and would be the Friend of everyone who is dear to us. He will listen to our prayers on their behalf. Mothers) and fathers in some instances have been many years in the glory Land before their prayers en behalf of en erring son or daughter have been answered, God shares all our mix- eties in regard to them. He will not force anyone to come to Trim, but He is anxiously waiting for hem to come so He can 'answer our prayers. When we pray to. God do we snake it clear, . to ourselves and (if we are praying in public) • to those about us . just what kind of a God we believe in. When the United Nations oonferenee was opened in San ,Francisco on April 25, 1945, State •Secretary Stettinius requested that each member join" ht 'one minute of silent, solemn meditation". Thus was+ settled a problem which was of great moment at that par- tienlar time. May God grant that the prayers there offered would make possible the fulfilment of the charter which is now being brought before the government of the different nations there repre- sented. Did we as ,subjects of our earthly King George XI tell Christ of our interest in that Conference, and :ask His guidance for the dele- gates there? • A very beautiful thought is con- tained in these words "Just remem- ber when the clouds of war hang heavily over your soul, that far above the clouds, where no anti air craft gun can ever penetrate,,where no fighter planes will ever ascend,' are the 'heavenly places' in Christ, Jesus, and that now you are seated ,there by faith and that `in the ages to come' you shall be there actually. You shall in ever be with the Lord," There are many requests which we should make to Christ as we should make to Chrism as we prepare to start out for our days work. AI- ways remember to make our peti- tions so that they will be answered if it is God's, will. If God were to answer our prayers. as we ask thein many times the result would •Ming sorrow to our hearts,. Lord Halifax in an address at Laval University' in 1948 claimed that "man's• real need is a know- ledge, how to open his heart to God in prayer." Many,, many people to -day have had the wonderful privilege. • of being brought up in a home where Christ was ' given ;first Placa. We tan • look back to the time when as small children we were rocked: in the arms of a liming Mother and we can recall that that dear one now long. with her • Saviour would' stop in her singing and commend us to 'God. Parents are you bringing trp' your children to have such 'ai mem- cry? If you "tire're' not you" are de- priving ''them •sf a recollection of which nothing' else {• caro ti fialr'e its place.

We recall the many: times during the World War II irit'which'we were called to prayer on behalf of our brave men who were , trapped in some, what seemed to be a position from . Which ,their escape- was almost inneossible. We have wilinigly gone to the place of prayer.

A. month ago we admired the 'orderly, -neat and tidy appearance of our victory garden after we had worked down each row in turn, taking out weeds and carefully mulching the earth. Now we approach canning with a similar'.. -•,system, orderliness and motion -saving attack. We decide on the peeves, read the instruc- tions, check equipment and start early in the morning ,congpleting the procedurewithout delay.. - Vegetables especially string beans, corn; peas and beats, , re- quire processing in at pressure cook- er to guarantee successful canned products. If you have a pressure cooker, kindly share it. Be clever in your use of equipment. Use keen - edged knives, scalded' utensils and lots of water. ' METHODS FOR CANNING VEGETABLES 1. In buying war -grade rubber rings, buy according to type of jar: Read label on the box. If pre-war rubber rings, spring back after being folded double, they may be used. Befere using, pour boiling water over rings and zine tops .and let stand about one minute. 2. Pint jars are preferable for vegetables.; Jars, and glass tops must be free from nicks and cracks. Match the lids.- do not let rids "rock" on jars. 3. Sterilization of . the equipment is important. Thoroughly sc:ub every utensil and bowl to be used with a good brush in hot, soapy water. Then rinse and sterilize. For water sterilization, half fill each jar with Blear water, place glass tops in position and' quad jars in boiler or large kettle. Add spoons, knife, bowie and funnel, Bring water to boil and let boil 15 minutes, -Take jars 'out 'when ready to fill, one at- a tifne. 4. Preparation of Vegetalltles: (a) Use fresh vegetables. Can them an hour or so 'after gathering and in the meantime keep them in a cool place as bacteria begins to grow in a warm kitchen. (b) 'Sort according to size, diseardirng over -ripe, bruised or blighted ones. (c) Washing can- not be stressed enough—wash pods or vegetables thoroughly in two -or three waterie Then pod, stem or trim and wash again. Lift out in- stead of darning and put in scalded bowl. Don't handle too much at once. (d) Cut Tri uniform•size, using y. scalded knife, and put in scalded kettle. , 5.

V RED CROSS. NUTRITION NEWS Tomatoes Most folks' food routine is de- termined by "lilret" retina. than "needs", hill in the case of tomatoes these two ohappily coincide. As a Raw, fresh tomatoes' carry the most food value, but canned, Booked or juiced they hold +a large share of their vitamins. Heat and air play havoc with these elusive substances so leftover portions of canned tomatoes or juice should be stored covered in a cold spot. Cold canned tomatoes make a coolly refreshing side dish on -waren' days and as no heating 'is required, there's• little loss of vitamin C: When serving raw to- matoes, peel and cut them quickly, shortly before eating, or if they must 'stand awhile, keep them covered in a cold place.
