CHAMBERS Brushing Up On Meat Dishes The lovely crisp Autumn days are with us, They bring some sad thoughts, but also joyous ones, for the beauty of the Autumn has been unsurpassed. Although the dreariness and dead leaves do mark the end of our summer it will not be so many months be- fore the-arrival of lovely spring with its newness agai. One thing our Autumn is sure to bring is appetites for the whole family and now is the timc when more attention has to be given to the preparation of the hot meat dishes in order to satisfy those hungry boys and girls and grownups, too. I am giving two new ideas for the preparation of meat. Chicken Baked in Milk Cut up the chicken as for fry- ing.

Sea-Air Power Of United States A report from Washington dis- closes the United States, "in the midst of war, has built the great. est sea-air power on Earth." The surface ships of the American na- tion now number 14,072, totalling almost 5,000,000 tons, and naval aircraft exceed 18,000." What has been achieved is con- veyed In the statement that "in July, 1940, the Navy received five . newly-completed vessels; in June 1943, almost 1,200; in July, 1940, - the Navy received 25 new air- planes; in June; 1943, almost 1,200." Between these dates the U.S. Navy built 2,200,000 tons of ships and added to its fleet air arm 23,000 aircraft. Many of the latter have since been written off as obsolete.

They're the fellows you will be letting down -- not Ottawa. -- St. Thomas Times-Journal, 24-Hour Clock Several attempts have been made within recent years 'to ob- tain official approval for the 24- hour clock. The _Government attitude has always been that there is no popular demand for this reform. A few years ago the BBC used the 24-hour time system for a period in programs and annduncements in order to familiarize the general public with it. Its adoption by the Post Office and the railways would be a great convenience and would avoid .the risk of confusion be- tween a.m, and p.m, times. Mil- lions, of men and women have be- come familiar with the 24-hour system during the war. This may help to stimulate a public demand after the war for its general adoption, MAKE YOUR RUGS Lend beauty and color to your home with scatter rugs of your own aking: .Crocheted=--braided =woven ---- hooked -- whichever is your favorite handicraft you'll "find=it-In-these worth-while in: structionsi Everyone will admire them!

Write plainly Dattern -- number, - your and address, po a By VICTOR ROSSEAU CHAPIER 1 It was about midday when Dave -Bruce reined in his bay gelding and looked down into the valley below. For miles it seem ed to extend, gradually rising up to the continuation of the moun- tain chain that walled it off from the badlands and the desert, Immediately béneat' him Dave saw one of the most- prosperous- looking ranches that he had ever set eyes upon, - There was the ranchhouse, the cluster of trim buildings on either side of it, the long bunkhouse, the corrals with straight fence-posts and taut wire gleaming in the noon sunlight. Sitting his horse upon the top of the rise, Dave could sec a clus- ter of punchers gathered about the remuda corral, which must heve been at least three acres in eitent. Inside it several horses were milling, rearing, or dashing wildly around the interior, Every- thing stood out hard and clear it the crystal light. "Well, fella, this « looks like business," Dave remarked to his . gelding, which flicked an ear and went on grazing on the tufts of green grass. "They told us how Wilbur Ferris had the mair spread in Mescal, but I never looked for anything like this, How'll it feel eyed, Dave watched the swarthy punchers, sizing up the group as his - left-hand fingers rolled a cigarette, "Howdy I" crowd. Ferris." Nobody answered him but the scowls deepened, Wilbur Ferris' Cross-Bar certainly didn't seem a hospitable outfit, * . Ld he addressed the "I'm , lookin' for Mr, But a man came striding out of a nearby bunkhouse, a tall and stocky man of- about thirty-five, with a mass of matted hair and black mustache. Bunches of mus- cles on the chest and arms, Dark, but unmistakably an American. The Mexicans were looking at him - significantly," then glancing at Dave, "Well?" conier, "You're foreman of this out- fit?' asked Dave. 'If that's so, you want another hand." "Yeah!" What makes you think 50?" inquired the other in a sneering voice. "Look at: the outfit you got." The two measured each. other.

The bay raised his. head as * Dave tautened the reins, and be- gan picking his way down the precipitous "descent that led into the valley. Three or four miles away Dave could see the roofs and house fronts of Mescal, hud-< dled beside what looked like a neck of the valley, It was three months since Dave's outfit, with which he had been for two years, had been pushed to the wall by the depres- * sion prices. Dave had ow reach- ed the poixt where it had be- come essential to settle down to of work, The trail down which he was riding was certainly not in habit- ual use." At times it grew so .steep that the bay put his fore- feet together and slid down in a shower of shale. "Near the bot- tom came a fringe of aspen, with a layer of soft dead leaves, soggy with seepings from one of the in- numerable streams' that tumbled down into the valley on this side of the heights, * z * % LJ Then Davé was through the aspens and in the valley itself, and the 'bay was moving at an sasy lope toward the horse cor- ral, Seven or eight men were gath- ! ered about it, but none of them was sitting on the rails, and Dave saw why, The bunch of horses inside was unbroken, "and 'évery now and again one of them would make a furious lunge against the posts, or start on. a-wild career around the interior, ears laid back and teeth gleaming viciously. ' As he'rode up, Dave saw that the outfit consisted of Mexicans or breeds, Sullen and suspicious looks ivere directed toward him as he eased the hay to a stand- still and sat surveying the group, Twenty-five, tall, straight in his saddle, fair-haired and grey- tentively, There was a growing tension, : "Looks like you've rode far," said the foreman, eyeing Dave's horse, .which was plastered with sweat and alkali dust. : "Yeah, rode down from Utah." "That's a long ways from here," 2 "I was two years with the Bid- dle Brothers, till. their outfit crashed. Thought I'd see a bit of the country before settlin' down again. A feller in some town along the road told me there might be a place on Mr. Ferris' ranch at Mescal. My name's Dave Bruce." * . Ld "I'm Curran. 1 got about all the hands I need. Might use a good one, but I've got to be shown." The sneer in the fore- man's voice had given way to a sort of purring note that Dave distrusted, "Fact = is," Curran went on, "punchin' in these parts is different from up in Utah, I had "one: amachoor after another, and I got to be shown." "I'm willin' to show you," an- swered \Dave, drawing in a last puff and throwing away the butt of his cigarette, * "You are, huh? How about hawss-wranglin'? Think you -eould break 'one of them bMpes in there?" Curran jerked histthumb tcward the corral. "I'm willin' to try," "Fine!" grinned Curran. "Noth- | better.

The gigantic air attack that Germany hurled at London three years ago last month definitely was the preliminary step toward invasion of Britain. Twenty-five hundred barges massed in ports across the Eng- lish Channel and the North Sea were to have carried Hitler's in. vasion hordes to the shores of England as the climax of a five- week program culminating fn mid- September. The planned preliminary steps were to have been the knocking out of the R.A.F, and then the will and abllity of the British people to-resist. This information, obtained from sources which may not be speci fied, presented a broader picture of events that occurred during those dark days than it was pos- sible to give then or since. : Radio Location System Effective The daring and tireless pilots of thé R.AF. carried the major burden of throwing this enemy in- vasion program awry--The men who long ago were immortalized by the words of Winston Churc- confliet was so much owed by so many to so few." The R.A.F, then was outnum- bered four to one by the German alr force's 3,450 planes. The force that battled back 400 German planes on September 165, 1940, and 850 on September 27 amounted to only 29 squadrons-- less than 350 planes--some of which fought three times in a day. Besides courage, the R.A.F.'s big assets were a-.radlo location system, an. efficient opesational system, and the Germans' se- quence of mistakes. The Germans counted. on: dive- bombing, but - evasive tactics, which saved the Stukas in Spain failed to work in Britain, Without armor, the Nazi bombers were forced into high altitude pattern bombing by daylight--a system in which they didn't believe, Frenchmen Flee To The Mountains Interior Minister Andre Philip of the French Committee of Na- tiona!
