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.

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.

'halt 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. thoroughly washed and rinsed twice in clear water, dip theta in a very weak soap solution before drying. The small amount'of.soap water re- places the oil removed from the wool in washing. The effect is soft, fluffy sweaters. - Anne Al invites you to write to ber cjo The Huron Expositor.

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.
