THURSDAY, MAY 28, 1942 THE CANADIAN STATESMAN, BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO 1"KHyRYS 4 HOLUFflf WOMEN IN FACTORIES One baîf the workcrs in British aircraf t factories are women, ac- cording to an official British prop- aganda leaflet . .. Bulletins from Britain. Women now number as many as 70 per cent of the work- ers in many factories where tbey are doing work bitherto regarded as exclusîveîy man's work. Tbey use carstan lathes, power presses, milling machines, and pnieumnatic riveters. Tbey bandlc spannners, screw-drivcrs, hacksaws and files. Tbcy make bomb floor girders, and belp build aircraft frames. Tbey wirc and assemble fuel pip- es. In this way the women of Brit. ain bave released thousans of men for the fighting force!s. In Canada also, men are needed bad- ly in the fighting forces. Canadian women can release men for the army by taking positions in the vital war industries. Let it be said that cvery Canadian woman is do- ing ber part in an ail-out war effort, wbetbcr on the assembiy ine of a munitions factory or in the workroom of the local Red Cross. Today the cooperation of women is vital in the war effort. -K- GUIDES GATHER FAT The Girl Guides of Bowman- ville are stili gatbering fat in the town. As it was explaincd before in this columo, the fats they gath- er arc used to make soap, and tho by-products to make munitions. The money thcy make will go to- wards the war effort, Al bouse- bolders are urged to save the fat they ordinarily tbrow away for thîs worthy work. If the girls have not coliectcd some fat xvich j5 available, caîl Mrs. J. H. H. Jury, 752, or Mrs. Percy Cowan, 870, and a Guide will immediately collect it. -K-- HAPPY MEMORIES There is a new company of guards at Internment Camp 30, under the Command of Major C. G. kradshaw of Winnipeg. The off s and mcn of the former co, aýny wbich left a week ago under* command of Major G r een departcd singing the 'praises of the generous hospitality of the citîzens of Bowmanville. [t is to be boped that the members of the ncw company will be ac- corded the same bospitable treat- ment and will have cause to re- member Bowmanville and its people as pleasantly as the former company. It is to be remembered that most of these men are serv- ing their country for the second time, (they are veterans of the hast war to a man), and that tbey are far from home and family in many cases, doing an arduous, demanding and far from con- genial task. A little effort on the part of our citîzens can lighten their load immeasurably, and make their stay pleasant. It is confidently felt that citizens wil do their bit graciously. -K- CHANGES IN ENGLAND The iron railinga surrounding Ascot's fasbionable race-course in England, have been rcmoved as part of the Salvage Campaign. An interesting side-lîgbt on some of the changes in wartime England. -K- FULLEST SUPPORT URGED May we again urge your fullest support of the Red Cross Cam- paign. The work of this organiz- ation is necessary and wortbwhiie and fully descrving of the great- est personal sacrifice on the part of contributors. To date Bow- manville district is way below its objective. We must not fail our brave soldiers who are willing to sacrifice their all for us at home. -K- THE NEW BOOKS Quietly My Captain, by Evelyn Eaton-This is an historical novel depicting the last years of the Frencb Colony of Acadia. The bislorical background is remark- abrý2pentic, and the plot and eh;,aciqurzation are fascinating anal deftiy drawn. The style of wriing is simple and readable and thé story is told witbout reserva- tion. This frankness may seem objectionable to many readers but y tbey must remember that Shake- 44spcare's Othello, one of the masterpieces of English literature suffered the same criticism in mnany quartei's.

The end of the book show s the conquerers, in a worse position than the conquered altbough they are in control . . . as the author cleverly puts it "the flies have conquered the fly-paper". The book is written simply and forcefully, with a wealtb of mean- ing particularly pertinent under present day conditions. Th e characters are drawn vividly and yet they are purposely dwarfed before the larger drama of Inter- national Affairs. The Moon Ia Down is a book with a purpose and that purpose is to show the futility of the Nazi triumphs. The book is too g]oomy to be univers ally popular but those wbo read it will be vividly aware of Stein- beck's message. Women Wedding Beacock-Vickery A quiet but pretty wedding was solemnized on May 2th, 1942, in Oshawa, South Simcoe United Churcb, when Rev. W. J. H.

WOMEN JOIN INDV8TRIAL PARADE Not long ago this attractive Canadian girl looked upon a file as something used so]ely to manicure her nails. Today, after join- ing thousands of other girls in war industries, she can handle a file as deftly as any man in turning out parts in an aircraft fac- tory. rt is estimated that between 50,000 and 75,000 women are now employed in industrial war work. Thousands more will be required to cope with manpower requirements as industry ex- pands and men enlist. THE __ Dy ANNE ALLA N Hydro Home Economist The Plate Supper Hello Homemakers!

If you bave glass salad plates, do use them-they are so gay. And now for your menus- which are really easy to prepare. May we suggest Plum Broil- ettes? Shape well-seasoned, masb- cd potatoes into balla the size of large plums, then dip them in egg wbite. To go with tbem, mince round steak, moîsten witb tomato juice, bind with fine, dry crumbs, season with chopped celery leaves and roll into tiny Sausage Rolîs. Cover tbese and store in the elec- tric refrigerator until 15 minutes before serving. Whilc our bot dish is broiling-by placing meat and potato balîs in broiling pan, two inches below hot top oven ele- mcnt-you can arrange the plates. And you will want a salad to serve with this. Plain cabbage, shredded exceptionally fine be- forehand, sbould be marinated with a salad dressing to wbich applesauce and horseradisb bave been added. Place this salad mix- ture on a bcd of watercress and garnish with shaved carrot strips. Small picklcd pears, cored and stuffed with smail peanuts would be a surprise tidbit. With the ad- dition of the broiled potatoes and sausages, everything is now ready to be served on the plates. If you are scrving lunch at the table (and don't have to worry about balancing plates on your knccs) try tenderloin prepared in a somcwbat similar way. Cul the tenderloin crosswise in 2-incb pieces, make a slit in the centre, and fill witb quartered apples - about one apple in eacb piece. Place in a casserole with the ap- pie aide up and cook for fiftcen minutes in electric oven at mod- erate temperalure. Cover and pan greased with melted fat.

C. asks: "Is it danger- ous to, use real sour milk in bak- ing?"' Answer: Sour milk only bas a limited amount of acidity but since other bacteria grow in sep- arated sour milk the baked pro- duct will bave an undesira le flavour and may not be of good texture. Mrs. J.A.B. suggests: Whcn you put away woollen garments, sprinklc wîth table saît; moths and silverfish will not toucb any 'salted' cloth. This metbod may be used on chesterfields and rugs in summer, too. Mrs. M. C. asks: 'Should steak pieces be rollcd in flour before canning meat by the bot watcr method?" Ans*er: No. Flour retards heat penetration, flakes off in the bot- tom of the jar and give the meat a 'warmed over' taste. Recipes have been sent to you, Mrs. W.

You say it can't bappen bere. The apathy Can- adians are showing toward an al out war effort will bring similar acts of inbumanity to tbis country. Such smug complacency is invit- ing peril and dcath to civilizatio-ri in this very country. The story follows: Let me tell you a true story about German atrocities. I know it is truc because it was told me first band, says Editor J. H. Cran- ston. Mrs. Gerard A. Boon, the charming Dutch woman who bas won the bearts of the people of Mîdland on the two occasions she has visited the Women's Canadian Club, told the story privately af- ter the big Kiwanis Club Ladies' Night dinner at the Georgian Ho- tel at whicb ber busband, a mcm- ber of the parliament of Holland, was guest speaker. Mr. and Mrs. Boon, in tbe days prior to the war, worked day in and day out for the rescue of Jcw- isb boys and girls wbo were the victims of tbe German persecution. Tbey are the kindliest of Dutcb folk and they made their beauti- ful home in Holland a clearing bouse for the little victims of the Hun terror. Time and again they went into Germany and brougbt back witb them scores of the children wbose homes had been smasbed, wbose fathers had been sent to concentration camps and wbose mothers and grown-up sis- ters consigned to worse fates. On one occasion the Boons bad opportunity to bring father and child together after the former bad made his way into Holland a mere shadow of bis former self. His bair had been wrencbcd froin bis hcad, bis teetb knocked out cf bis moutb, bis face was cut and scarred and bis finger-nails had been tomn from bis bands. He was horrible to look at. "We bad bis little daughter in the bouse," said Mrs. Boon. "We knew it would be a sbock for ber to se bim, but we knew also that it would mean s0 much to bim to see ber. So we told ber we were going to take ber to ber daddy and we prepared ber as best we could for tbe ordeal. Then we took ber into the room. For a second she gazed on that hairless, tootb- less, scarred, maimed remains of what bad once been her father, and then putting ber bands over ber eyes sbe screamed and ahl but fainted. It took ail the courage she bad to go to bim at my urging and kiss that poor mutilated face down whicb streamed tears of joy. "It was a strange dinner party we had that night. There were other little Jewish children and parents who bad cscaped from the Nazis, and we got out our best silver and our best dishes and diti our best for a few short bours at least to wipe out the memories of the bell tbey bad been tbrougb." Dr. Boon was on the Nazi pro- scribed list. He and 200 others were to be shot wben the Germans took Holland. Fortunately be and bis lovely wife were able to make tbeir escape to England on tbe day that Holland fcll. Since sugar rationing was first introduced, the shipping situation PER WEEK PER PERSON bas become more serious. The danger to ships and lives has increased. Consequently it bas now become necessary to reduce the sugar ration from ¼4 lb. to 2 lb. per week per person. Only persons in areas remote from source of supply are permitted to have more than two weeks' supply on hand at any tîme. SUGAR FOR PRESERVING Special provision is made for additional quantities of sugar for home preserving and canning. In addition to yoixr ration, you may purchase 2 lb. of sugar for every pound of f ruit that you preserve or can, and 3/4 lb. of sugar for every pound of f ruit made into jam or jelly. Every person who buys sugar for can- ning or preserving is required to keep an accurate record of the sugar purchased for this purpose. If any sugar remains after canning and preserving, it shall form part of the regular ration. of V2 lb. per person per week. Loyal Canadians will be glad of this new opportunity to do their part to ensure Victory. THE WARTIME PRICES AND TRADE BOARD sis -ARE RATIOJVED Ships and lives must bec onserved To bring tea fromt Ceylon and India, to bring coffee lrom South America, ships must cross oceans inlested with submarines. Today those ships and their naval escorta are required for more essential services. Every ship, every foot of cargo apace, in needed to carry wèr materials, and te bring essential gooda to Canada. So Canadians must now reduce their consumption of tes and coffee. You muai reduce your normal consumption of tea by et lsat a half. You musi reciuce your normal consumption of coffes by at least one fourth. These reductions are absolutely necessary. TUA CONSUMPTION NUIT MM CU? AT LIISURN A1, COrrEu CONSUrPTION Kml MM cuT AT LMAJIT ONE VODuTru TRIS 18 TUE LAW You muet not buy more than 2 weeks' supply of tea or coffee for yourself and household in any one week. You muet flot make lurther purchases of tea or coffee at any tiine when you have two weeks' supply on hand at the reduced ration. (Exception: those in areas remote from supply.) Retailers have the right to limit or refuse customers' orders if they suspect the law is not being kepi. Retailers must not have on hand more than one month's supply of tee and coffee, whether packaged or bullt. There are heavy penalties for violations of this law.
