that of the- more expensive foods
such as meat, fish and eggs.

1. Cook dried fruits, such as prunes.
apricots, apples, raisins; etc., without
sugar.
2. One-half of the sugar allowance
should be used for cooking.
3'. Ao not use sugar on fruit or in
fruit, juices. .
4. Cut down the amount of sugar
used on porridge, in tea and coffee.
etc. Use honey or corn syrup fre-
quently. -
5. Use sweetened chocolate f o r
,conking, icings, etc..,
6.' Use sweetened condensed milk in
makipg salad dressings, cookies, des-
serts, etc.
7. Use left -over cakes and breads

cisively agreed or disagreed with his
anajor-generals, brigadiers, colonels

That was the prevailing mood of
the ten morning and afternoon tacti-
cal sessions. It was all done in high
good humor, but if words were iin-
personal they were neither • minced
nor wasted. Dispassionate critics.dis-
regarded rank and reputation, and
were• unawed by crossed swords and
batons. The senior field and staff of-
ficers of the Canadian Corps theoret-
icall'y took their hair down, and,- lit-
er ally their coats off to thresh out
tactical theory, method and practice.
It was an historic free-for-aIl of
criticism. Everyone enthusiastically.
picked, everyone else's brains. They
winnowed the chaff, flailed out 'flaws,
ruthlessly banished, . bolstered and
strengthened, tested and tightened,
discarded' and .,adoptetj, changed _and
explored. Important and secret things
were inevitably bared, but it was re-
vealing to note how little finishing
there was actually to be done in the
set. up and smooth working of the
Canadian fighting structure.'
Opinions' Were Blunt.
Every criticism • was constructive.
-hen a doctrine was riddled, the an-
swer was produced. When unortho-
dox ideas were held too impracticable
the theorist was given sound reason.
If a commander of :field artillery, of
Bofors or anti-tank guns did not.. like
his assigned' job, or the site of it; he
tersely said so, and why. 'If too
muiah or too little was, left to the 2 -
inch mortars, the Bren ' guns, the in-
fantry bayonets- and Tommy guns,
-the men. Who lead them made their
protest with clipped phrases.

able if you envisipn- a well-known

was a remarkable combination of in-
timate knowledge of , both, of armour-
ed -infantry and infantry -guerilla 'fight-
ing.
FmphasisAtways On Speed
Time-condeired rivalry of services
was rampant. The Infantry' jibed at
the Guns; the Mortars And machine-
guns tv6itted, but seriously applauded,
the Bomber Barrage airmen; the En-
gineers,
ngineers, Signals, 'Army. Service Corps
and Ordnance waxed caustic when
the fighting arms tailed to appreciate
their worth; ebility and problems. Wit
and pungent ,humor eased. the sting
when a battle -piece was ripped apart,
but each; stactical set-up was of im-
measurable value in helping the var-
ious arms- and -services to understand
and knoivz each other.
Methods of, obtaining fast artillery,
and bombes support were revealed to
warm a last -war footslogger's - heart.
Always, ,the emphasis was on speed,
en... gutting time lag. Inevitably, tight-
ly keyed signal arteries were "held in-
dispensable.
Finally, one. feature stood out like a
beacon. Beyond the Mast, lingering
doubt, the Canadian Corps is direct-
ed, staffed and led by the pliant and
tot the opinionated.
Tactical Innovations Welcome -
No rutted mind which had mistak-
en stubborn adherence to obsolete
doctrines for" firm character, could
have stood the: gaff of that barrage
of criticism. • No. Brass Hat of the
unyielding type which' has ;peen so
much, and often so justly, condemned
in recent years, could have stomached
that Lrood of unorthodox but sound
suggestion'. The Canadians undubit-
ably hold that no tactic is unbend-
able, that any device, ruse, stratagem
or innovation is worth exploring—
and may •be' used by the enemy. They
don't underestimate his resource.
To the writer the gathering was a
tremendous experience. It would
thave been to anyone, jtlst as it must
have •been to the tacticians them-
selves.
You could travel from one end of
the .Canadian defense position in the
British Isles to the other, as I have
