A plain custard sauce well chilled yakes an exi-ellent accompaniment io litth Iran in place of cream or the idea in reverse is baked custard with fresh fruit sauce. The home economists of the Con- sumer Section say that there are aCTcral points to be stressed in nialring custards. Too much heat cnrdlei cither baked or boiled cus- tards so soft custards should be cooked over boiling wather, stirred constantly and removed as soon «s the mixture coats the spoon. Baked custards are always set in a pan of hot water or poached for the same reason to keep the heat moderate. Here are several excellent recipes for simple .summer desserts.

Upon returning Partner announced that that was his sum- mer holiday! And the trip was most- ly business â€" in quest of tractor parts. But still wc really had a love- ly outing ; saw lots of scenery that was quite new to us and passed through many towns â€" or near them â€" that had previously been just names on the map. Woodstock. Par- is, Caledonia, Ingersoll, Delhi, St Thomas, Till.ionburg and some oth- er smaller places. Somewhere near Woodstock we ran into a storm. And what a storm â€" the rain was ter- rific â€" but Bob kept right on driving. Gradually we drove out of it and before we reached London \v(r were rolling along on dry ground again. At London my sister-in-law and I were badly fooled â€" it was early closing day! To make matters worse the summer sales were on and many of the dresses we saw in the win- dows were really feasonable in price â€" and yet all we could do was win- dow-shop. Partner thought that was just as well, but were we provoked I However I consoled myself with the thought that in a day or two there would be a trip to Guelph â€" and it wouldn't be on a Wednesday â€" not if 1 knew it. But more about that later. * * * 1 think the biggest Jjighlight on our London trip was seeing the rcscs. They were everywhere â€" red, pink and white, mostly ramblers, and very, very beautiful. We also noticed tall spikes of white delphinium which I believe is still somewhat of a r;iri- ty. We passed through some dist- ricts where the grain crops were bet- ter than around here but gctKTally speaking they were all pretty poor. Of course in many districts there was hardly anything grown e>;cept tobacco. Of the many places wc passed through 1 liked Paris the best. 1 don't know about the town itself as I U. S.

Even little cottages were shaded by great oaks and sturdy maples that gave the whole district an old world look. Sometime I would like to visit Par- is again and really explore. * * « Now for our Guelph trip. This was made so that my sister-in-law might visit friends but we also hoped to do a little shopping as well. "Hoped" is right .... those blessed parking meters! I parked the car at the foot of Main for a nickel's worth of time then away to the stores. There were several things I wanted â€" little things that one can- not buy in a small town. I also wanted a house-dress. And you know how it is â€" selection is still limited so it was out of one store and into another. The 60 minutes was just about up before I knew it and I still hadn't got my dress. The salcsclerk was showing me another line when I had to apologise and run â€" "Park- ing time running out !" I explained. I rescued "the Greening" from the eyes of the law and decided it would be better to park further up the street This time I allowed 24 min- utes, rushed into another store, found the dress I wanted, but, as before, I shopped with one eye on the clock and didn't really get half the things 1 wanted. With one min- ute to go 1 was ready to m,ike a rtm for the car when it started to rain. It just about fell down in bucket fuls. With my raincoat draped over my head and shoulders I ran to put another copper in the slot and waited in a store doorway for the storm to abate. And as I waited there was the indicator slow- ly but surely slipping back to the comer. Not that 1 expcctccf any parking officer to be inspecting me- ters in that storm but the point is one of them could have been lurk- ing in a sheltered doorway just as 1 was. Presently there was a lull in the storm and wc made a run for the car and away to sec our friends, leaving our unfinished shopping in disgust. * • * Maybe parking meters are a good thing â€" 1 don't know â€" but 1 can see I shall have to study the maltcr, or shop in a place where thc.v don't exist. Shopping with one eye on the ck3ck is too hard on the blood pres- sure! I suppose getting acnuaintcd with the back streets would lie the best solution.

Volley Of Revenge By JACKSON COLE The story of the Red Cavalier â€" ^young Michael Valdcz O'Brien â€" who sets out to avenge the crimes against his own family and to bring dcwn the leaders of the bands which were plund- ering and killing the peons and eastern settlers in the desert val- leys of the great Southwest. It was the outlaw trail, fol- lowed by a man of character who had grown relentles in his thirst for revenge. READ THIS THRILLING STORY TEEN TOWN TOPICS By BARRY MURKAR British Plan Export Of Special Foods Great Britain is going to turn some if its scarce sugar, fats and cereals into the manufacture of a limited quantity of beverages, bis- cuits, and chocolates to get dollars for vital basic supplies like feeding stuffs. Food Minister John Strachey announced in the House of Com- mons recently. Mr. Strachey declared that the target would be $40,000,000 worth of these special manufactured foods •nnually â€" enough to buy nearly flOO.OOO tons of additional feeding stutfp. "What it amounts to is that we are going to use our processing and manufacturing facilities and skill, plus a very little of our sugar, fats, and cereals, in order to earn foreign currency which will pay for much bigger quantities of basic foods," he said. He appealed fo "friends overseas" to realize this when they saw small quantities of British foods in their stores and not to slacken their efforts to send foods to Britain. "Avast ye land-lubber and trim your main sails," 1 shouted. "What's all that racket down there?" called a voice from above. It was Susie's mother, from the bed- room window. "Is Susie ready yet?" I asked. "A fair wind blows and we must be off on the blue." "You never mind that noncsense," retorted Susie's mom "1 hear that this is your_first time out in a sail boat. 1 think .Susie would be much better off to sit at home, where it is safe." "Now don't you worry about a thing," I consoled, "I can handle that boat on any sea. The deeper and rougher the belter. Why some day, 1 intend to sail around the Horn in my o\vn yacht." Just then Susie came around the comer of the house. She looked at me and burst into a fit of laugh- ter. "Where did you get that silly looking cap?" she asked. "It's almost over the end of your nose". "Forget the smart stuff and let's get going," I retorted. "Anyway this hat belonged to old man Williams. He was a captain on some cf the best lake bo.nts that ever sailed ; so there." "Be careful, dear," called Susie's mom, "and don't let know-it-all go out loo far. I'll he in a stew until you get back." » » * On the way to the bay I tried to impress Susie with my knowledge of the sea, wind and boats. I think I impressed her with my wind, but not sea and boats. The boat, a chum ol mine was loaning me for the afternoon, was ready when wc arrived and we lost no time in getting away. "This is the life,' I shouted at Su- sie, who was sitting up front. We headed for tlie gap and out on the lake. "Don't you go out too far, you know what mom said," warned Su- - sie. "That mother of yours underesti- mates my abilities. You'd think I didn't know anything, the way she goes on." "Well, you usually manage to mess things up before you finish." "Relax! relax! Get the salt in your blood and heave-to." Susie came down to my end cf the boat with a coke and some cookies. "Ar«i we slowing down?" asked Susie a little while later. "My gosh, there's a lull coming," I cautioned. "Yes and a storm too, if those black clouds in the west mean any- thing". "Now don't get excited Susie, I'll handle everything." * « * Suddenly the wind died complete- ly Large black clouds, that a few minutes before were separated by patches of white and blue had woven into a solid mass of greyish black. Everything was quiet. Susie looked worried and I felt so too. Three miles out on the lake; net a breath of wind and a storm coming in fast Suddenly evcn,'thing broke. The wind came and with it, small white caps, then large waves. Driving rain beat into our faces. I yanked down the main sail and headed for shore with the jib half way up. We floimd- ered around like a cork under Nia- gara Falls. "Quit whimpering," 1 reared at Susie, "I'll get her there. Sit down and hang on tight." Suddenly we were pitched sideways and parallel to the breaker-s. I jammed the rud- der over hard, breaking the handle off. Climbing over rope to the front of the boat, to get the jib down, I slipped and fell to the low side of the boat. Then it happened. The breaker caught us broad-side and over went the three of us. The boat, Susie and I. * • • We came up spitting but grabbed the boat. Susie was terrorized but hung on tight. Hours later wc final- Iv washed up on the beach. But not before I noticed the crowd standing there waiting. As we struggled up through the surf, trying to hold each other up, Susie's pop ran into the water and grabbed her. Then he grabbed mcâ€" and I do mean grabbed me. After my teeth were back in place, he really let me have it. So did half the townspeople that were tliere. I may be up for attempted manslaughter next week, by the way things sound at the moment. On top of it all, I have to buy a new rud- der and repair the damaged boat. Funny thing, but e\'erything hap- pens to me. I'm "cut-off" from going to Susie's anymore. My allowance is shot for eight months to pay for the lK!:it and 1 lost my watch in the water. Well, I learned one thing, h 1 still! out to travel around the horn, I'll go by bicycle. It'll be a heck of a lot less trouble. And an- other thing, there will be no women along with me either. Sewing Note While we have our needle in hand, here's a note of counsel on sewing from the Department of .Agriculture whose authorities on home econ- omins know about sneh things. The length of the thread wi:h which you sew is important if you want to do a skillful job. A long thread should be used only where the stitches are long, as in basting. Otherwise, a short thread about a foot in length will give the best results. That's what they'll eay about your garden when you flpray with Green Crosa DDT Flower Spray .
