Four weeks before Christmas —,high time to start your festive baking. Be sure to plan for this important occasion and have your wartime recipes on hand. While pre-war frills are out, we still have an abundance of good things for our baking' —, and don't forget that Christmas goodies make such acceptable gifts, when gaily wrapped, and cost so little. According to market forecasts, turkey and other fowl will be plentiful, Our own Canadian vege- tables are abundant and we have plenty of flour — vitamin -rich flour. However, need for fat conservation is our signal to substitute quick breads made with the new shorten- ing or lard for the richer cookies. We suggest that you try to save a little sugar every week for your Christmas baking. Raisins and cur- rants are expected to be available. Here's a tip — steep them in a little water, sieve, and then use then as part of the sweetenign. Common spices are on hand and citron peel, too. Cashew nuts from India may arrive in time, but if not there are our flavorful, rosy Canadian apples. Cheese is plentiful in spite of tremendous shipments to Great Bri- tain — and crackers, too, since many of them do not require sugar. And so there will be Crhistmas fare for Christmas doings — enough holiday good things to .please both young and old. 5'..

TAG DAY Continued Pram Page One "Many of these people simply took it for granted that they would always have useful vision," he said, The Canadian National Institute for the Blind is interested in the welfare of blind people, but is just as seriously concerned in the prevention of blindness. In associationwith the Canadian Ophthalmological Society, the Institute has been carrying on a definite programme for the conserva- tion of sight, which has had some beneficial results. As time goes on, it will have more effect. Blindness, of course, will never be completely el- iminated in our time, but, with the advancement of medical 'science and a greater determination on the part of the public to take reasonable pre- cautions to protect their sight, the number of blind people in the nation should gradually diminish." A STATEMENT about In spite of the fact that in some Canadian cities butter supplies recently have not been sufficient to meet the greatly increased denlands, the situation does not constitute an emergency; nor is it as serious as some people seem to think. There are two main causes for these temporary and local shortages: For the past year we have been consistently using 10% to 15% more butter than in normal times— with consequent-disttubance to the distribution of our butter supplies. Many people have been buying luore butter than they currently need. The limited nature of the present shortage is shown by the fact that if every home would reduce its consumption of butter by only one ounce per person per week (for the average home this means a quarter of a pound a week)—or if we reduced our national consumption to the peacetime rate—the shortage would soon disappear. There is no Reason for Panic Buying It is unpatriotic and unnecessary for housewiyes to rush out to beat their neigh- bours to the nearest grocery store. Butter will not be, rationed to meet the present situation. Butter production is actually above normal for this time of year. The Board' itself is taking special action which it is believed will speedily restore normal supplies in retail stores. HOW TO SAVE BUTTER AT MEAL -TIME 1. Use butter only for spreading on bread. 2. Never use butter just out of the refrigerator. Wait until it is soft enough to spread easily. 8. Add a small amount of milk when creaming butter for sandwiches, IN COOKING 1. Do not use butter hi baking and cooking, when lard, shor- tening or ]neat dripping can. be used. e. Use level measurements of butler.... Guesswork means waste! 3. .When adding cheese to a cream or white sauce, use only half amount of butter stated in recipe. 4. Use paper wrappings from but- ter to grease baking dishes. 5. Do not use butter for re- warming vegetables, S. Serve meat gravy to avoid the use of extra butter on potatoes, 7. When adding butter to vege- table dishes, add it sparingly. Do not meltit and then pour on. These supplies will ' however be adequate for normal consumption, if housewives' in all parts of Canada. co-operate. You can help in these ways: Scrupulously avoid waste and extravagance. Waste is wrong at all times. In time of war it is sabotage. Reduce present consumption of butter by at least one ounce per person per week --(for the average hone this means a quarter of a pound a week.) Do not buy more than needed for immediate use.
