Over two hundred women were in attendance. The President of 'the Presbyterial, Mrs. J. U. Robins, of Bowmanville occu- pied the chair. . The Presbyterial in- cludes most of tie towns that come in the Bay of Quinte Conference and representatives from Bowmanville, Orono, Port Perry, Whitby, Brook- lin, and Oshawa were prescnt. Mrs, C. E. Cragg, of King Street United Church, read an address of welcome to the outsiders who are in town for this occasion, to which Mrs. H. Osborne, of Bowmanville, re- sponded, on behalf of the visiting la- dies. The morning's programme was a very full one, including the election of officers, election of delegates to the Conference Branch, and the reading of reports of various com- mittees such as: Chrisian Steward- ship, Young People's, C.G.LT, and Mission and Baby Band. Mrs. Fair and Mrs. Crozier, of Oshawa, took charge of devotional exercises, with which the morning session was opened. For Homemaker and Housekeeper The Canned Tomatoes Are All Food and Drink s Doctors and dietetic 'specialists are pointing to canned Tomatoes as an inexpensive corrective food for the whole family, supplying as they do the health values needed to made up for the deficiencies commonly occurring: in the average diet, Canned Tomatoes, leading medi- cal authorities declare, are even more potent in Vitamins than even oranges, and tomato juice is much richer in iron content than is orange juice. Tomato juice has another vir- tue than commends it to the heads of families--it is pleasingly inex- pensive. The most economical way of ob- taining pure Tomato juice--wheth- er for Baby's daily "health drink," for table service as a cocktail or for serving as a cocktail or for serv- ing as a refreshing "pick-me-up" between meals--is to strain good- quality canned Tomatoes. As little or as much juice as is required can be easily separated and the re- mainder of the contents of the can used in making one of a score of delicious, healthful tomato dishes. There is positively no waste. Canned tomatoes as a healthful food and a tonic drink are being widely endorsed by high authori- ties. The Hon. Dr. J. M. Robb, On- tario Minister of Health, and the medical officers of health in many Canadian centres have, in published statements, advised a general use of canned tomatoes, both as a food and a drink. Dr. Robb recently stated, in an interview, that our regular diet re- quiries a supplement to provide for the deficiency in Vitamin C. Toma- to juice adequately supplies thie deficiency." And to this declaration Dr. Robb added: "A fortunate fact C in tomato juice -is adequately pro- tected by the presence of fruit acids, so that the "heat required in the process of canning is not sufficient to materially reduce the Vitamin C. content of the juice." Tomato and Cheese Toast Two cups tomato pulp, 1: level teaspoonful sugar, % level teaspon- ful salt, sprinkle pepper, 14 level tablespoon butter, 3% to 5 cup grated cheese, 4 'slices hot buttered toast. Add seasonings, butter and grated cheese to tomato pulp, ob- tained by draining off juice from canned tomatoes, and heat in top of double boiler until cheese is melted Serve very hot on the buttered toast. recipes for apetizing, economical "Tomato Dishes" actually require the re- moval of at least part cof the Juice from canned Tomatoes, in order to have drier solids for com- bining with other nutritious food- stuffs. For that reason canned Toma- toes are 'a particularly economical food. There is no wast? what- ever. The Juice, in whatever quantity is desired, is easily sen- arated by straining and is then available for feeding to baby or for serving at the table as a cock- tail or as a refreshing "pick-me- up" at any time of the day. The solids so obtained can be served in scores of ways. The following typical recipes are all tested "tomato dishes" and all will be found to be as inegpen sive as thoy are delicious and Man healthful healthful: TOMATO SHEPHERD'S PIE Cooked meat, Tomate pulp, Mashed potatoes, Put meat through chopper and season with salt, pepper nnd, if desired, a little grated onion.

He also showed some picture taken by Ger- man u-boat commanders and loaned to the British admiralty after the war, "Submarines will never be abolish- ed as a weapon of warfare, despite Britain's efforts in that regard, W. Lieut. 'Carr declared. The submar- ine was the weak nation's main weap on, and both France and Italy were unalterably opposed to abolishing the submarine. "Britain therefore needs an adequate fleet of anti-sub- marine vessels to protect her mer- chant ships in case of war," the speaker observed. COLUMBUS Master Bobbie Pollard, Oshawa, spent a few days with his grand- parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. Wilson. Miss Mair spent the week end in Toronto. Miss Helen McLean, Oshawa, spent Sunday at Mr. H. Wilson's. Mr. Andrew Murison and Ross spent a few days at St. Thomas. The March meeting of the W. M. S. was held at the home of Mrs. J. Hyslop. The president, Mrs. Cooper, had charge of the meeting. After the devotional exercises, business was discussed. Plans were made for the Easter Thank-offering ser- vice for which further announce- ment will be given later. Mrs. Levi Ellins, convener of the Work com- mittee, arranged about the quilts, which are to be quilted in May. The delegates to the Oshawa Presbyter- ial are Mrs. J. Hyslop and Mrs. F. Goodman.

Probably no other single factor has so great an influence on the appearance of a property than the condition of the lawn. It is the prime essential without which the pleasing effect of flowers * and shrubs is almost entirely lost. A good lawn depends to a con- siderable degree upon a proper be- ginning. It rarely results from slip- shdo methods of hastily preparing the soil and scattering a little grass seed upon it. A lawn is a fairly per- manent creation, and will amply repay the owner for any extra ef- fort expended in its preparation. The site is usually fixed as it also the type of soil, and unfortun- ately the latter is often very poor, consisting of the sub-soil removed in the excavation of the cellar, In all grading work, an extra effort should be made to keep the surface and subsoil separate. After the rough frading has been completed, the entire lawn may be given a coating of three or four inches of good soil. The ground should be brought to a perfectly uniform grade, making sure that. there is good drainage away fro the foundation of the builting, and that there are no poc- kots left in which the water. will collect during the winter, It should be thoroughly compacted and rolled with an ordinary lawn roller, raked lightly in order to procure a satis- factory seed bed, seeded, then rak- ed lightly again and finally rolled. Regarding sced, a mixture which has been found very satisfactory at the Experimental Station. Freder- jcton, N.B., consists of 70 paunds Kentucky Blue Grass and 2 pounda White Dutch Clover per acre. For small lawns, this is equivalent to aproximately one ounce to every 31, square yards. Seeding should be done as early as possible in the spring and on a calm day. Mowing should commence when grass is about two inches high, and der to produce a compact thick type of turf. As to fertilizer treatment, almost any lawn will respond to a light ap- plication of a good commercial fer tilizer of approximately a 4-8-6 an- alysis, aplied at' the rate of one ounce per square yard, This is es- pecially important in the renova- tion of old, worn-out lawns. In such cases, two or three light applica- tions pér yard of thoroughly decay- ed compost will also prove very beneficial. WELL WORTH TRYING Our average Canadian vegetable garden is a much too short lived af- tair. We get some Radish and Let- tuce, and possibly a meal or two of Spinaclt in June, some Carrots, Deets and Corn in July and August, and very little more than a few tomatoes in the Fall. If there is a larger vari- ety of vegetables too often but one sort of each is grown and just as we arc beginning to cnjoy that sort the supply is exhausted. In a great many cases we are back at the stores buy- ing imported Lettuce by the middle of July. In the flower garden iis it not the case where most people now endeavour. to have something in bloom all the time from June on or at least for three months anyway. But it is quite possible to do the same sort of thing with vegetables where we have just as big a variety and just as long a scason at our coms mand. Take for instance some of the first things planted. If we are fond of Radish we can secure this vege- table in several varieties, some early, some medium and some late. Dy planting a portion of the sced pack- et of each just as soon as the ground is fit to work we should ensure a two to three weeks' supply, and if we plant another portion of the packet a week later we extend the season still more, The same policy can be followed with Peas, Beans, Corn and practically anything that must be picked at just a certain definite time to get the best quality, With beets and carrots it is not quite so necessary as we can use these when they arc small as well as when they mature. Tt is well continue through the season in or |in thinning to leave these fairly close together and in our picking continue the thinning by taking out every oth- er plant and using as greens or baby carrots and continue this alternate at each picking, until the row is ex- hausted. Of course some vegetables have a definite season and while we can extend this to the maximum by using early, medium and late sorts we cannot push it past a certain de- ! finite time. It is impossible, for in- stance, to grow leaf lettuce much af- ter the middle of July, but' there are other types of lettuce which we can. The early leaf crops should be fol- lowed by Head Lettuce and this by Cos Lettuce which will supply our needs during the hot summer wea- ther of late July, August and Sep- tember. Also for early Fall use one can use Chinese Cabbage, a vegetable resembling Mustard and which is planted in July, or one of the En- dives. Cress is another thing that is very simple to grow and comes on quickly, it being a highly acceptable salad material during June and carly July. Other vegetables some- what unusual but easy to grow and which will add variety and interest I include, Kohli Rabi, Vegetable Mar- row, Small Table Squash, some of the early Corns, which are ready for the table a week to ten days ahead of Bantam, Herbs, Kale, Broadbeans, Brussels Sprouts, Swiss Chard and green sprouting Broccoli. The latter resembles and tastes like cauliflower but is easier to grow. In the more Southerly sections of Canada new early varietics will ex- tend the season for Peas, Beans, Spinach, Corn, Cucumbers and Toma- toes when planted in addition to the regular variety, while their earliness makes them possible in the more Northerly districts where, before their introduction, it was impossible to grow such things. It is not a great many years since Corn was con- sidered a doubtful crop in Ontario but thanks to the introduction of new and very early varieties it is now grown on the Prairies. This same improvement has been going on with practically all other vegetables, but we arc not taking advantage of' it un- less we study the seed catalogue and try out some of these newer and im- proved or special types. FLOWERS The improvement mentioned in the foregoing paragraph has not been confined to vegétables. There has been fully as much scientific work with the flowers. Some of the old common blooms found, but not much appreciated, in our grandmother's garden have now been glorified and brought up to date. Flowérs are larger and colours mort brilliant, In addition to Petunias, Zinnias, Mari- golds, Cosmos, Phlox and Pansies we should also try some of the new Scabiosis, Salpiglosis, Caliopsis, Cals endulas, Godetia, Lupine and Poppies. The newer and very much improved types of these will be found fully de- scribed in the seed catalogue. In in- corporating in our plans we should note height and colour so that they will fit in properly. We will be sur- prised how much larger and how more- extensive are the colours: in these and other less known flowers than we expected. SO About this time comes the itch to get out and dig, but we should ' re- strain ourselves until the soil is ace tually ready for that process. If we work too soon we may do serious damage as the ground will puddle and later bake. It is a good plan to test by squeezing together in the palm. If the soil forms a 'compact ball it is not ready for working and nothing should be done until it crum- bles in the hands. The ideal garden soil is a deep, rich loam, If yours is heavy you can make it like the ideal by digging in garden refuse, leaves, strawy manure or even coal ashes if it is very stiff clay. If on the light side, get good rotted man- ure and dig it in and also add grass clippings, vegetable refuse and crops of Fall rye or oats which should be dug in when about six ifiches high, ------------------------------------ DRUM AND FIFE CORPS HOLDS DANCE About five hundred people at. tended the first dance under the auspices of the Oshawa City Drums and Fife corps, in the Winter Gar dens last Friday night. The mu- sic was supplied by Will Dennis' popular Canadian Commodores' Orchestra, of seven pieces. Square and round dancing were enjoyed until one o'clock. The prizes of | forty dollars in gold were won by | the following: Mr. S. Griffith, fif- | teen dollars; second prize, was won by Master B. Linton which was ten dollars; the threa last prizes of five dollars each were won by V. Brock, I. Shoylet and W. H. Merrit. The Oshawa City Drum and Fife Band was organiz- ed about six months ago and is af- filiated only with the Ontario Am- ateur flute band association. The officers of the band are: Chester Follest, bandmaster; Fred Watson deputy bandmaster; Jim Morrison, sec. treas.; and Edward Arnold, equipment manager. The Hand appreciate the efforts of all those who helped and supported them. ~~ MARJORIE, GET UP THIS INSTANT!
