We have coin- ed a new word for you—'Nutri-thrift' meals. Every cookery suggestion of The Mixing Bowl is based on sound nutrition' principles and thrifty re- cipes that will save many coins. Our purpose in .this is to assist you to cook well and economically—to plan meals in advance, and to include in your menus those foods which pro- vide the maximum amount of nutri- tion. * * * The formula for good eating is simple. Below is a list of the protec- tive 'foods required in your daily 'Nutri -thrift' menu. This list is given by Dr. McHenry, Head of the De- partment of Nutrition at the Univer- sity 01 Toronto. Other foods to make up the energy requirement may be chosen according to taste, but those listed here should come FIRST, if at all possible: 3 glasses of milk; 6 slices of whole wheat or enriched flour bread; 1 serving of meat, or fish or lentils; 1 egg 'or serving of cheese; 1 serving of potatoes; 1 serving of yellow or green leaf vegetables; 1 serving oftomatoes or tomato juice; 1 serving of fruit; 1 serving of whole grain product (cereal, porridge or'pud- ding). * * Canadian homemakers know the importance of thrift in the kitchen and so are on the alert to buy care- fully and waste nothing. One of the best ways to avoid waste is to serve well -cooked, appetizing foods with "eye -appeal" so there will be nothing left on the plate. For example, a roast of lamb' carefully cooked, So that it does not dry out, will be eaten to the last scrap. Dry, tasteless lamb, on the other hand, may sit around for days because it lacks appetite appeal.

Prevent Rather Than Punish, Provost Corps 'The ounce of prevention worth the pound of cure is the Canadian Pro- vost Corps' way of keeping Canadian soldiers well in line. The Corps was organized in October 1940, with, Col. P. A. Piuze, former warden of St. Vincent de Paul • penitentiary and province of Quebec Commissioner of Prisons at its head. Its special job 18 to see that soldiers of Canada are well behaved when away from bar- racks or stations. The emphasis is in keeping a watchful eye on soldiers on leave from their stations and thus to pre- vent occurrences which otherwise the Corps would have to punish, Real services are provided members of the armed forces and everything is done to minimize any prevailing conditions which might give rise to difficulties. i DEAD or Quickly removed in clean sanitary trucks.

In railway stations they man information booths and advise soldiers about train times and where destinations are located. Answers to :the many questions a soldier in a strange town is likely to asic are always obtainable from the C.P.C. desk, The secret of their suoeess, for success they have had, in reducing the number of delinquent soldiers in Canada's army is the exercise of per- suasion. There is the necessary mea- sure of firmness for the tough boys but the persuasive appeal to reason is more than usually effective. There was a time prior to their organize - tion in 1940 when complaints fre- quently reached military authorities about' the conduct of soldiers on leave. Within a fortnight of receiv- ing responsibility for the solution of the problem the C,P.C, had it well in hand. There was a marked reduction in the number of arrests necessary, and so well did work progress' that during last Christmas and New Years holiday season there were less than ten complaints in the whole of Can- ada, none serious. Credit for the success of the Pro- vost Corps has experienced must go chiefly to the Provost Marshall, Col- onel Piuze, for' many years a stud- ent of social reform and of war ag- ainst crime. Between the time of his retirement from the Canadian Army in 1927 until the outbreak of this 'war, Col. Piuze made a penetrating study of police and prison adminis- tration. He became warden of St. Vincent de Paul penitentiary, was Commissioner of the Quebec Provin- cial Police and was also Quebec Commissioner of Prisons. In the last war, at the age of 26, he was the youngest Lieutenant-Colonel in the Canadian army. The 189th Battal- ion C.E.F. was recruited and com- manded overseas by him: Returning from bhe front in 1917 he was made Officer Commanding the 1st Reserve Battalion of the 2nd uebec Regiment and war's end found him Deputy Ad- jutant General of Military District No. 5, Quebec. The Corps he now heads comprises 15 companies besides the headquar- ters at Ottawa and the companies are divided into 65 detachments sta- tioned in cities and towns through- out the Dominion: It Comprises -.'51_ officers, 2,077 non-commissioned of- ficers and men, and has 21 detention barracks in Canada. There is a com- pany and a detention barracks in Newfoundland. The Corps has authority to. keep a roan in detention barracks for per- iods up to two years. That it has suc- ceeded in greatly ,wiping out major offences by soldiers is seen in that the average punishment is 26 days. The greater part of the job is done by patrolling streets either on foot or on motorcycle, by travelling on trains with the troops, and by super- vising passing of troops .through sta- tions and railways. There are C.P.C. booths in 16 sta- tions between Halifax and Vancou- ver and members of the Corps travel on at least 34 trains every day. Dur- ing last December alone, 2,299 trains had their C.P.C. complement and the Corps chalked down a total of 565,418 miles. Other duties, besides insisting that soldiers be orderly and of good con- duct when on leave from their sta- tions, include responsibility for #ind- ing and for taking into custody des- erters and absents without leave, and for enquiring into suspected lapses of discipline and breaches of military law. Any Canadian soldier who is outside the area »f authority of his regimental officers comes under the jurisdiction of the Canadian Provost Corps. When he is within the area of his barracks or station, however, he is under the authority of regim- ental and district military police. The derivation of the word "Pro- vost" is from the. Latin "plate posit - us," meaning ositus,"meaning placed at the head of, and leading to the secondary mean- ing of conductor, leader, chief or ex- ample to others. In history, Provosts were pro -consuls and viceroys who held offices and responsibilitf's in the kingdom, Today the term is used in Scotland where mayors of towns are called Provosts, and of large cit- ies "Lord Provost." In Universities the Provost is either" the highest member of the faculty. or one of its senior officers, Members of the Can- adian Provost Corps wear the pers- onal insignia of the King, the Royal Escutcheon ---the "crown and Pion."' It dates back to the days of armour when Kings of England on the field. of battle wore helmets encircled by a crown and surmounted by the lion of England. In modern times the Royal Esoutchoon has been reserved exclusively for officers of the Gener- al Staff and for members of the Mil- itary Police in Great Britain, The Canadian counterpart of the British Military Police has been accorded the privilege of wearing it, Essentially the Canadian Provost Corps is a silent service, Its members form a specially -chosen personnel who must be able to maintain in others and themselves, the respect for discipline and order that marks the good soldier. Yet, their goodwill and understanding must so express themselves ki their bearing that fel- low soldiers will approach them for assistance and direction wherever they may be with perfect confidence. Their work is essential to the moral health and well-being of an army. Because little is hoard of the Provost Corps simply means that it is doing its job efficiently and well. 1942 Acreage Shows Considerable Change The weather during the past two weeks has been ideal fol; work on the land and farmers have been working long hours in an effort to get spring grains seeded. A considerable por- tion of the intended acreage has now been seeded in Western Ontario and the work is progressing rapidly in Central Ontario, In Eastern Ontario the work is more advanced at this date than a year ago. In Northern Ontario the season is earlier than normal and seeding will be general during the first week of May. On the whole, the spring season is about a week to ten days in advance of nor- mal, but slightly later than in 1941, which was an exceptionally early year. Soil conditions are generally satisfactory and although fields have worktd up well. Little rainfall was received to the last week in April and warm showers were needed to hasten germination. The acreage of fall wheat seeded last fall was much greater than the acreage harvested in 1941, ancl all reports indicate that the present ap- pearance of the crop is excellent and prospects very promising. Winter ldlling was extremely limited, with loss confined principally to areas where surface drainage was not good. Alfalfa and hay and clover have also come through the winter with practically no winter killing. Alfalfa generally shows better appearance than hay and clover fields which were affected considerably by the drought last summer. The acreage of hay and. e'1 `.ve 1.op- er c s" has `d"eclined due to the poor catches of new seedings obtain- ed during the past several years. As a result ib is expected there will be an increase in the acreage sown to annual hay and pasture crops this season. Hay fields and pastures were closely eaten off last fall and growth this spring is rather slow. Most cattle will be turned out to pasture about the same time as normal but in quite a••number of cases where farmers aro short 'of hay, young cattle were on pasture early. The seed, situation turned out bet- ter than anticipated and In most counties the' seed supply has been sufficient to meet all requirements anti -:the quality generally excellent, •It is expected that the acreage sown to various crops this year will show a considerable change from a year ago. The acreage of fall wheat was greatly increased and reports indicate that the area sown to spring grains will also be increased. During the past winter a considerable quan- tity of Western feed grain was brought into the province and sup- plies of grain in farmers' bins are extremely low. With the number of dairy cattle and the poultry popula- tion both showing an upward trend. and hog numbers being maintained at a high level, there is a real need for enlarged production of coarse grains. The acreage of hay and pas- ture will be somewhat lower owing to the fast that previous two dry summers were unfavourable for sat- isfactory catches of new seedings. Soybeans, flax, sugar beets, corn and the principal canning factory crops are all expected to be planted to a greater extent than in 1941. The counties bordering Georgian Bay, and also those at the extreme eastern end of the province, report above normal production of made syrup. In other sections of the prov- ince the season was rather short, but the run was fairly good while it last- ed. The quality of this year's' syrup was excellent and prices ranged from $1,75 to $2.25 in Eastern Ontario, and from $2,25 to $3,00 in Central 'and Western. Ontario.

Howell, Goderich, with Mr. and Mrs. A. Forster, Plant Herb Garden For Seasoning In the days before the war to have a herb garden was more of a pleas- ant hobby than a necessity because spices and seasonings could be bought readily, But the war has changed the situation. Our pioneer grandmothers grew several of their own herbs. They hail to do so or go_ without. In those days ships were not bringing pepper from Java, cin- naluon from Ceylon, cloves from East Africa and Madagascar, and ginger from 'China, And now in these tear days ships have more important cargos to carry than spices and sea- sonings, says the Dominion Horticul- turist, Central Exp. Farm, Ottawa. Suggestions for growing a few herbs for seasoning are: On the an- nual side of the herb garden, plant parsley, summer savory, basil, sweet marjoram and dill, and nasturtium and anise may be grown. On the per- ennial side plant sage, mint, thyme, chives and tarragon; These herbs will provide the seasonings that do to flavor everything from soup to des- sert. "Yes, you're smart ... or are you?
