signed ormhmcconkey major when choosing a subject to write about in a column of this kind we are always tempted to write about something or other that our readers may not be very familiar with for instance a few years ago it was our good fortune to motor through to the pacific coast and we do like to write or talk about that trip especially about the rocky mountains how- i ever if you have never seen the i rockies no words of ours can describe them to y6u so maybe we better stick to topics nearer home in the janu ary number of the national magazine gertrude dutton has an interesting article entitled oddments in cookery that we liked verymuch this article deals with many of the dlfferont spices find is well worth reading even the condiments salt or pepper make an ntcrcsting topic or again bread has plenty that would interest anybody in its manufacture maybe we will be telling yoi something about bread in a inter column it lsnt the scarcity of topics to write about its making up ones mind what not to write about hat causes those wrinkles when the new house is completed dt the old one remodelled and just about the time that we are beginning to think that we have everything tbout perfect something ts sure to crop up that places the monkey wrench in the machinery and we de cide right then that the next time that we build or remodel we are go- lne to have everything right and no mistakes it may be merely a mis placed water pipe that causes the trouble it was working alright until that day like wednesday of last week when the wind was in the east and real cold at that and can t a cold east wind cause trouble to water pipes turning on the tap the follow ing morning we get no response the water is frozen or course wc could phone for the plumber but we miht and that thirteen others had phoned him before we did anyway we don t like the idea of blow torches in the cellar so we get out the garden hose and attach it to a hot water tap some place then we shove the business end of the hose into that awkward corner where we think that the trouble lies turn on the water and in a few min utes everything is ok once more the idea lsn t copyrighted and you are welcome to try it out it was crossword puzzles that wen- all the rage a few winters ago and then it was jigsaw puzzles that be came quite popular we suppose we could call this the winter or qulzx programs we don t recall ever get ting excited about either the cross word or the jig saw puzzles but we do like the quiz programs of course information please is the best of all but some of the others are quite in terestlng also it would be natural to think the winner on some of these programs gets some easy money and while we think or the one that won we never give a thought to the thous ands that write in each week and who never get anything for their trouble suppose that you were the contestant on one of these programs andyou were asked to quote the rhyme and also to name the author or poet that wrote the lines that begin some thing like this little jack horner sat in a comer could you do it we could quote the lines but we coumn t name the poet that wrote them no doubt it was written by some one who may not have been a poet at all and who never dreamed that his simple little couplet would be memorized by millions we remember reading the ame story as it might have been writ ten b one of our well known poets it should beeasv for you to name the poet that the writer must have had in mind jack horner there the bonnle lad sae fu o joy and pleasure a wee bit sweetie makes him glad hes eating

the war we will have added to our manufactures a long list of items which a year ago were com paratively new fo canadian factories and mills canada s railways made possible the very important expansion in the var iety and volume of the dominion s co mmodlty production which took place in the twenty five years preceding 1939 the same railway network ls making possible the present expansion
