the 'pelitical sienificance of his mem-

a born athlete and. good-naturedly ac-
cepted the position of athletic in-
fant:den in the Social Democrat youth

the political importance of the un !ore

In 1938, the rumblings of Hitler's
war machine could be pleinly heard
in Neu Rittendorf. One Saturday
night in October, 1938, the blow felt
Hitler was on the march, headed
straight for Neu Rittentiorf. Hur-
riedly Maria and Ernst packed two
small cases, said good-bye to their
parents. They dressed the two chil-
dren as warmly as possible. Herta
was only 10: Young Horst was five.
The Werners escaped into Czechoslo-
vakia.
Sailed For England
On Sunday, at noon, Hitler's troops
entered—Nen Rittendorf. Ernst and
Maria and the two kids remained in
Uzeehoslovakia until November 20th.
Then they had to move on. Hitler
was close behind them again. They
willed for, England, one family out
of hundreds, clutching their two
small cases, all that was left of the
compact little home in Neu Ritten-
dorf. England was good to them but
they were inarticulate and homesick.
They spoke no English, had" no means
of showing their appreciation other
Shan a smile. They were sheltered
aid fed in England and Scotland
'while arrangements were made to
-send them to Canada with other
Sudeten refugees.
It
TheY XrePlMngland III Aida,
MO, arrived in -Canaaa on the twen-
tydlest. When. they reached St. Wal-
burg, in northwest Saskatchewan,
they were assigned toa, box ear, ov-
en food and wa,ter. One day they
were taken out to their new home:
160 acres of grey, sub -standard soil,
14 miles from St. Walburg over a
muddy, rutted road. There was a
derelict house on the land which was
torn down. Ernst was given the ma-
terials ' and told to build a. frame
house for himself according to speci-
fications adopted by the Canadian
National Railways Land Settlement
Association.
it/Was a Hard Life
He was given a cow and a bull calf;
two horses; nine chickens; rooster
and two little pige. That first winter
the Werners lived on a subsistence
cheque they received from the re-
fugee settlement fund, $11.80 a.
month. Their cow was dry for five
months, so they had no milk, cream
or butter. Neither Maria nor Ernst
had the courage to kill a chicken.
They lived mostly on bread and pot-
atoes and wild berries, black coffee
made from ground barley and water.
Much of Ernst's land was unbrok-
en bush, filled with poplar trees. On-
ly 70 acres were under cultivation.
They had no idea how to run a farm,
yet they couldn't afford mistakes.
Once, they tied a young bull calf to
a tree and he strangled himself with
the rope. One night, a skung gat in-
to the hen -house, killed 30 chickens,
drank their blood. Hawks swooped
dowe, into the barnyard, carried off
young poultry. Ernst had no gun to
shoot them down. Maria worked in
the fields with her husband, cleared
65 acres of land with him. They now
have 135 acres in cultivation and
have bought another quarter -section
of land. They have 22 head of cat-
tle, ,six geese, 10 ducks, six horses,
one sow, sik pigs and about 50 chick-
ens.
They Are Now Canadians
Young Horst is 12 and goes to the
Pine Ridge rural school, half a mile
from the farmhouse. Herta is attend-
ing high school in St. Walburg, lives
in town. She plans to become a
nurse. Ernst has applied for Cana-
dian citizenship, hopes to hear some-
thing soon. He rolls his own cigar-
ettes, listens to the news on his bat-'

• from that first hard year when none
of them had enough to eat, is now
back to his norms,' weight. Maria has
her stomach under control, can now
kill chickenwithout a quiver of
nausea. She is an expert milker and
a good cook. She btikes her Own
bread, looks after the poultry and
pigs, continues to help her husband
in the fields. Young Horst is as Can-
adian as a rtietale tree, thinks he
wants to stay on the farm. He teases
his parents about their accents, but
remembers without bitterness the
black eyes he sported when he first
went to school in Bright Sand.
Wants To Stay Here
The Werners are happy on their
farm and want to stay there. They
have pulled through some tough
years butthey feel the struggle has
been well worth if. They own their
farm outright and have completely
paid for -the new equipment.
They are worried about thdir par-
ent% in Neu Rittendorf who are be-
ing forced into Germany by a gov-
ernment •order expelling Sed,etens
from Czechoslovakia and hope to be
able to get thein out to Canada when
transportation becomes easier.
Though Ernst and. Maria still speak
German together, they read English
papersand books, are acquiring a
Canadian point of view. They are
deeply grateful to Canada 'for the
opportunity this country gave them
to pick up the severed threads and
weave new life among the poplar
trees and willows of Bright Sand.
Ernst and Maria were born Austri,
ans. They became Czechoslovaks af-
ter the last war, when the Sudeten-
land was given to that country. They
want to die Canadians.

Que. Since it Is to be the centre of
attraction wbeo it appears ma the
Christmas dinner table it must Ant
be as iroPosing, as possible, then
cooked to a lusidous goldlen brown.
The meat should be tender, yet moist
when cut and the dressing rich and,
crumbly.,
The home economists of the Con-
sumer Section, Dominion Department
of Agriculture, Bey there are several
pints •to keep in Jnind if the results,
are to be a credit to the cook.
When buying pbultry it is easy- to
distinguish grades by, the •govern-
ment grade tag, Fer roasting, poultry
should be plump, *ell forme but net
too fat. Allow threeuh1ter to qne
pound dressed wei t for each per-
son to be served. Dressed weight is
the weight of poultry as purchased,
before it is drawn and it includes the
head and feet.
Careful preparation is worth while.
Pin feathers should be carefully re-
moved and all hairs singed so that
the skin M smooth and clean. If poul-
try is fat it is well to wash with wa-
ter in which a little baking soda has
been dissolved, but it should then be
rinsed and thoroughly, dried inside
and out. Poultry should never be al
lowed to soak in water as this caus-
es loss of flavour.
The bread for stuffing isbest if
three days old. It will then crumble
easily. To make evencrumbs quick-
ly, remove the crusts and cut each
loaf in four pieces, place one piece
in a towel and roll between the hands
until welf crumbled. Then proceed
with the remaining portions.
If dressing for. poultry is made the
day before, time it saved at the last
minute.
The stuffing will vary with the type
of poultry. The delicate flavor of tur-
key should' not be spoiled with a
strongly seasoned stuffing. The more
used with goose which has a strong
flavour. Before stuffing, sprinkle the
inside of the bird with salt. .Stuff
loosely. ,If the cavity is packed. too
tightly there is no room allowed for,
expansion of the dressing and the
result is a firm soggy mass—so allow
approximately three-quarter cup of
stuffing per pound of turkey—dressed
weight
The way in which a bird is stuffed
and trussed makes a great difference
in its appearance when served. Fill
the neck with sufficient stuffing to
give the bird a plump appearance.
Fold the neck skin towards the back
and fasten by folding the wing tips
batik on the wings, "arms akimbo"
fashion. Then place the bird on back
with legs toward you: Cross drum-
sticks, having leg over slit, to bold
stuffing in place. Take a piece of
cord about lie yards long and place
centre of it under the tail. Bring up
endis over crossed drumsticks, cross
cords. and repeat, pulling tightly.
Cross cords agalb iiiId bring up firm-
ly between the drumsticks, and the
body. Turn bird onto breast and
bring cord around wings to centre
back, so that it bolds the lower wing
joints close to the body.' Tie cord
securely on back, bolding wings' and
neck in place.
Andl now the all important matter
Of cooking. It must be done to a
turn, the acme of perfection to grace
the festive board. Place turkey or
chicken breast down on a rack in an
uncovered pan, and add no water.
Goose requires slightly different
treatment.. Rub the outer surface
with salt, place breaet, side up on a
rack in the roaster. Add one cup of
boiling water and cover tightly. Cook
about one hour, then pour off water
and fat and continue cooking uncov-
ered. Keep the temperature of the
even at "moderately slow" or even
"slow," according to the weight of
the bird, to brown it evenly without
scorching. It should be cooked until
it is tender and done to the bone,
but not overcooked.
The following time table may prove
helpful in cooking poultry throughout
the 'holiday season:
Chicken -4-8 lbs (dressed weight),
300-325 degrees F. for' 30 minutes per
pound.
Turkey -8-10 lbs:
300 degrees F. for
pound; 12-16 lbs.
300 degrees F. for
pound; 16-25 lbs.
300 degrees F. for
pound.
Duck -3-8 lba..
325 degrees F. for
pound.
Goose -10-12 lbs.
325 degrees F. for
pound.
(dressed weight),
25 minutes per
(dreseed weight),
20 minutes per
(dressed weight),
18-20 minutes. per
(dressed w,eight),
20-25 minutes per
(dressed weight),
20-25' minutes per
These are approxiate times, as the
size, Shape and weight of .the bird, as
well al the personal preference are
factors to be considered.
Further information on Poultry is
given in the bulletin, "Poultry Guide,"
which os obtainable free of charge
from the Department of Agriculture,

NEW LOOM
A new loom which has no shuttle
but which lays the weft across the
warp by a carrier moved to and fro
by a special spring device has been
developed, by a United Kingdom firm.
The head of the firm believes that
the loom may lead to a revival 'of
home weaving because it can be in-
stalled in a spare room, can produce
a wide variety of fabrics and is with-
out the clatter made by the ordinary
loom. It is claimed that one skilled
operative and an, assistant could
"mind" twenty-fou'r of these looms

Measuring Surface Finish
An instrument which detects sur-
face roughness as minute as two mil-
lionths of an inch has, been develop-
ed by a United Kingdom Arm. It op-
erates on a simple pneumatic prin-
ciple and gives a pen record of the
profile of the surface along a select-
ed straight track. It is easily adjust-
able to suit any clase, of surface nor-
mally used in modern, engineering
practice. The object to be tested is
mounted on a table ee,Topograph, the
tracer point is set on the surface to
be tested and the t strument produc-
t

long and five file es wide in three
minutes. The instrument is rormally

Monarchs Return
To London
During World War II, the gilt ef-
figies of the early Kings and Queens
of England •which in normal times lie
over the tombs,,in Westminster Ab-
bey, were evacuated to s,afe hiding
places in the country. Now they
have been brought back to London,
but before they, are taken to their.
former honored sites, they are being
liaplayed, with a number of rema'rk-
ab'le stone figures from the chantry
chapel of Henry V and the chapel of
Henry VII-eboth in Westminster Ab-
bey—at Britain's Victoria and Albert

New Education Facilities
in Britain
A pamphlet has recently been pub-
lished by the Ministry of Education
-in the United Kingdom giving—the
tails of comprehensive plans for the
part time trebling of young persons'
'between the ages of 15-18. • The ob-
ject of this training is to impart to
the young people not only essential
knowledge, but in particular to de-
velop their characters and help them
to live a healthy life as far as pos-
sible. The educational plan rovides
fo• about 1 1/12 million young per-
sons taking •the couses. Attendance
will be required tor one day or two
half -days pear week or for a eontinu-
ous period' 01 either eight weeks or
twt periods of four weeks during..the
year, Eighteen thouland to 20,000
trained teachers will be required, to
instinct the pupils „in the essential
specialized subjects. Special atten-
tion is to be devoted to sports as
swimming,. dancing, gymnastics,. fenc-
ing, boxing •arid wrestling.
LICENSING
Since December 1st, licenses with
few exceptions are being issued di-
rectly from the regional offices of the
Wartime Prices and Trade Board.
This is a result of consolidating and
simplifying the licensing and new
business permit orders.
Applicants for licenses living in
Western °neareo should make appli-
cation td the nearest office of the
W.P.T.B., according to W. H. Mc-
Phillips, prices and supply represent-
ative for the Western Ontario region
of the Prices Board. He said this
method would speed up the issuance
o licenses and was m e-Tossible be-
cause of an impreve ent in supplies
SEAWE D RAY
NS
Fascinating ad • lions n ever
widening • range of Br rayons
were being shown roc ntly by the
United Kingdom Royal Society. The
new seaweed rayons have perhaps at-
tracted the most attention. They are ,
woven into a fabric and then dis-
solved in a soap bath. The result is
a cloth of an entirely new design.
Seaweed 'aiso enable cotton to be
woven without twisting for the yarn
may csist of cotton and seaweed
rayon in which only the latter takes
the twist. Then after weaving the
seaweed rayon can be dissolved out,
leaving an extra strong cotton fabric
made from untwisted cotton.
