Mabe it is because we've got our
second wind now. Anyway, faces are
cheerful—and our little Country is
lookilg& beautiful. We are in a pleas-
ant lull before the frosts and thel-
ratoning. The grass iS still green,
the grey sky is flecked with Silver
and primrose clods, and their is a
pet of a (11rd singing outside my win-
dow.
All over the place little ploughs are
fussing and chuggig, turning up the.
rich, reddish earth and leaving spir-
als of blue smoke on the air. • Con-
voys of jelly, tanned lads are rushing
• through the lanes, coming from no-
body ,,knows where and off to some
• place -equally mysterious. Behind
them swish those crash -helmeted fel-
lows on motorbikes, lookhag amazing -
ay like knights' in armor. Hands are
waved as one crouches in the ditch,
hugging the civilian bicycle and
'waiting till the rushing stream., has

•,The Food Question
And now, before we get down • to
auy more chatter, I have an idea. A
lot of good folk over here are a good
bit worried about the food question:
American and Canadian food. They
want to give the lads the sort of
, -meals they like, but it isn't easy.
'True, there are classes and lectures,
I thine on trans-Atlantic dishes, but
they are not available to everybody
in these busy tines; so here is a hint.
When you write to the boys or
-when you pack 'there off overseas—
.' • why not pop in. two or three recipes
for their favorite dishes? Some day
they will meet up witicsome moter-
ly soul who'll be only too pleased to
have a go at there, and; give the boys
a treat. But go easy on the fats,
-eggs and Sugar, won't you?
• Anxious For Recipes
• I have one friend in Somerset; I
remember now, who • asked me for
reelpes, but I couldn't help her. Otte

• woorry at that time was how to please
the Canadians and Americans. As

Off To a Party.
Last- Saturday I shook the creases
out of. Old Standby, my one evening
frock, and went to a party. It was
a big party; a twentylirst birthday af-
fair, and our young hostess was full
of fun—and looked amazingly pretty
--after—working all day on her War
job. ,Directly I saw' the spread I
started debating with mYiself as to
whether I should' spend' the evenings
dancing or eating; and I found to my
delight, that I was .able to do quite
a, bit of both.
Every now and then, CT ceurse, as
I sat munthing, my thoughts strayed
here and there . . . sometimes to
Stalingrad. It semed' odd to be sit-
ting there while so much was going
on in the world; and then I !Malted

Miss Beryl Pfaff was hostess at her
home Wednesday, Dec. 9th, for the
December meeting of Hensall Sen-
ior 'Women's Institute, with Mrs. Ken.
Hicks as. co -hostess. Lovely Christ-
mas enfblems were much in evidence
for the house decorations, topped off
with a decorated Christmas tree, il-
luminated with various colored lihts.
Miss Gladys Luker, president; was in
the chair; ' with Miss Plorence Welsh
at the Wane:. There was a splendid.
attendance of members and guests
prsent, and the evening was a most
enjoyable event. The meeting came
to order with the singing of "Silent
Night, Hely Night," followed with. the
Lord's Prayer and poem by the presi-
dent. Mrs. Roy MacLaren was 'ap-
pointed secretary -treasurer: for the
nce of the year in the absence of
Mu. Ken Hicks, who has held that

some. years. The roll call was an-
swered with gifts for the Sick Chl- •
dren'a Hospital, .k.ondon. The lovely
and numerous gifts included cut-out
honks, story books„ blackboard, gimes
of all kinds, airplanes, dolls, white and
colored, 'large and • small, and other
gifttoo numerous to mention. Mrs.
Fred Beer and Mrs: Goodwin Were
appointed to help pack the gifts for
shipment. Mrs. Beer spoke, re the
jam question. Discussion took place
in regards to the seeds for Britain
fund, and it was decided to have a
special collection taken at the Janu-
ary meeting. The motto, "The glory
of life is to love, not to be loved; to
give, not to get; to serve, not to be
sett ed," was ably taken by Mrs. N.
E. Cook. The demonstratithi, "Filling
the Christmas stocking," was given
by Miss 13bry1 Pfaff in a very.interest-
ing manner. Mrs. M. G. Drysdale
contributed e 'recipe, "Cranberry Sal-
ad .Mold." The gaest speaker, Miss
Ellis, in her usually pleasing manner,
gavea most delightful talk on "'What
Does Christmas Mean To Yon?" in

Juggler of Notre Dame. Current ev
ents were. ably taken by Mrs. James
A. Paterson. Mrs. Fred Beer, Mrs. T.
J. Sherritt, Mrs. Albert Shirray, Mrs.

elping to House
• Canada's War Workers
WHEN the huge shell -filling plant came to his town,
Charles Hunter got to thinking about the critical
shortage of housing . . . and about the two large
cottages he owned. It wouldn'i cost much to mod-
ernize and sub -divide them to make comfortable
homes for four families.
He talked it over with his bank manager, who
extended him a $600 loan. With the money, Hunter
not only converted his cottages but took part of
the loan, along with some of his rental income, t�
remodel another house to accommodate eight
single individuals.
With the aid of the bank Hunter helped to pro-
vide urgent/ needed homes for war workers.. He
has now paid off all but $100 of the loan. A very
small amount paid out for interest has thus enabled
him to more than dpuble hisformer revenues.
Such modest, highly useful loans typify the con-
tributions that the banks make to Canadian enter
prise. The above story is an actual case—only the
name has been changed.
At least two-thirds qf the total number of loans outstanding in
Canada's Chartered Banks average less than $500 per' loon.
