ius
enjus of bike aide- t'ver Since 'we.
toured the Christmas Merchandise
alert, we have been excited 'about
the many . new tiro -saving gadgets.
Isere are deme worthwhile gifts for
the homemaker:
A WONDER CL E ESLINE: No
clothespins and no clothesline prop
are needed with this new galvanized
'wire clothesline. The four strand
wire,on a pulley arrangement, has
a spreader which separates the wires.
The clothes can be fitted into grooves
as you move the wire outward and
the spreader holds them thus until
it is pulled in again to a "tripper"
starting point.
HANDY CHOPPING BOARD: A
wide board for cutting is important
but one with a hole at one end is
• handy. As you place the board of
chopped food over a salad .bowl, the
hole acts as a funnel.
IMPROVED RAPER DISHCLOTHS
—Easy to wring out and use again
are parchment cloths. The paper is
perforated which helps to pick up the
)little pieces.
HANGER FOR KITCHEN TOOLS:
A wall rack which can be put on the
wall near the range is helpful and.
the new ones are very attractive.
When in position, the rack forms a
curve allowing the tools .to hang free-
ly without marring the wall. It comes
complete with a set of tools includ-
ing an egg turner, fork, spoon, mash-
er, ladle and • spatula.
USEFUL BEATER: Remember the
old fashionedi piano wire whip?pWell,
it's on the market in an improved
style. We like it because you can
beat eggs with one hand as you grad-
ually add sugar or milk. '
FABRIC GIFTS: Print or chintz
aprons; bags for household purposes
such as garments, laundry, shoes and
dusters are smart. From a yard of
cotton material you can make unus-
ual toys for wee folk.
Christmas goodies as gifts need not
be too expensive and are always wel-
come. You can use economical sub-
stitutes to advantage if you consider
such ingredients as mincemeat, whole
bran, oatmeal, chocolate er brown
sugar.

It takes tiro to tttal1e •votes. lE
reached that wise conclusion as a re-
sult of an ardent desire ,tp Glean up
an old,shelf in a -vault '4n my o'iea
No there's no money in it—nevernKaa'k
but today I found an old cop -of the
"New Republic," with a preachment
by Henry Wallaee; "I h<tand," aayl
he, "for one Idea:' that jobs, peace
and freedom can be attained together
and can make possible . One World,
prosperous and free, within our life-
tinle."
Nice°, isn't it? But what happens if
the other fellow doesn't want to. make
peace, and, apparently, that is the
attitude of Rus ,ian leaders at the
,present time. .
No nation wants war‘,.. as thin
stand in the world today, unless pos-
-sibly some of those little nations
where the people are quite' certain
that 11 they did enter war other Oar
tions would do the fighting for them.
But what are we going' to do with
the one nation in the world that has
made up its mind to have everything
its own way? It believes steadily and
steadfastly that all other nations are
wrong and reaches the conclusion
that they won't be allowed to do any-
thing unless everything is done ac-
cording to their own code.
There are two courses. We may
keep on with infinite patience, hop-
ing that in time 'they will change their
manners 'and their mood for ,some,
thing of the characteristic give-and-
take which happens in all business
affairs, and which so often acts for
the best even in what is not the ,best
of all possible worlds.
Then there is another course: We
may break awa, form a new United
Nations and go ahead with the things
we want to do as if the dissenting
party' never existed.
`Which course is better, only time
will tell and somehow in this world
as so often happens, history makes a
mock of prophecy and' things• do not
turn out as we think they will. Let's
hope this will happen in this case.
There are times in which it seems
that the only possible .subject of dis-
cussion these days is the price.level
and what has happened to it. ^ Cer-
tainly nothing like it has taken place
after other wars; there has always
been inflation, higher prices. Depres-
sions have generally followed •war,
but in this case we are -going on do-
ing fairly well', living rather prosper-
ously, but the distortion of prices,
aside from their •mere altitude, is
greater than ever before.
In some things, American prices
are much higher than ours. ' Certain-
ly our cost of living is lower than
theirs. Yet one who is interested in
agriculture doesn't like to read things
like. this: "Good Steer, Toronto,
$14.47; Chicago, $30.68;, live hogs, To-
ronto, $22e Chicago, $26." These fig-
ures are'�tbr last July.

There are many things we ought to
do, which 'we can't do because of .our
peculiar burdeits . of taxation. 1 read
an item one day not long ago, in re-
gard to tree planting in. the Province
of Ontario. It was explained by an
expert, a man yvbo ought to know,
that an acre of pine planted today
would • be worth $1,000 sixty years,
from now. That is only an estimate,;
no one knows' what will happen sixty
years from now; some rids is involv-
ed --it might be burned or destroyed
by insects. , These things are the
vicissitudes of nature.
/ Suppose now a father leaves a for-
est to his son and later it passed
through two or three heirs before
tike sixty -year period has expired, the
succession duties would swallow tip
the moat of it. The Government
would be the real heir. We do a lot
of; things, with good intentions at the
time, things which ought to be done
but in an era where the state swal-
lows up `the frult of our efforts the
good deed may in the end be lost,
the tax collector takes all.

_Can shyness be overcome?
Indeed it cant Add ever/
bit of progress one makes m
this direction is of great•bene-
fit. For en effective person-
ality is an asset in . almost
every occupation, particu-
larly in smaller communiti
where commercial and social
contacts so often overlap: -
According to Dr. Henry C.
Link, eminent psychologist,
personality is best developed .
by "learning to do an in-
creasing number of things'
for and with people".
For example, you may have
no interest in playing bridge.
Bur if you do, it will help -
you to develop poise because
you have acquired a new skill
And are brought into contact
with other people. And this
contact is made easier for
you because you will be en-
grossed in doing something'
with them.
Taking part in other
games, sports, club life, town
council meetings or activities
with other people will help
cure your Shyness. And this,
in turn, will help you achieve
greater success in your work.
