Bill sounds as if he really bends the old ear when his favour- ite band is on th» air, and seems to under- stand what it â- Â« all about. Bill writes: t my opinion that the "King of Swini;" Tommy Dor- •ey has the best band. I like T.D. for many reasons but the first and foremost is because every man in his band is given a fair chance. I mean fie does not hog the solos. Tommy also gives hi« vocalists smooth background with his soft brass section Con «! iw pieces') and V '1 blended saxophone section. Fin- ally his fast pieces are extremely Instrumental. â€" Your friend. Bill Goodrich. A young fellow we know from Whitby, Ont., also entered the con- test He is about 10 years old. His name is Murray Wade and here is what Murray had to say: I like Sammy Kaye's band because (1) I listen to Sammy every Monday night (I) he seems to have lots of swing fai his band, (3) Sammy sounds like a very swell guy to get along with. â€" ^Murray Wade. We seldom receive letters from fellows as young as Murray, but we are very pleased to receive them. Thanks to all who entered the con- test. We hope that you will all enter again next month and many more as well. You can read the de- tails of the February contest at the bottom of the column.

Our Apologies To Colbome For some time now we have been spelling Colbome as Colboume and the gang down there have taken us to task for it. We offer apologies to the Keen Klub and hope that Bill Tye and several others will quit Iddding our Colbome correspondent Bev. Wilson about it Glad to hear that some of you came to Bev. Wil- son's aid in securing new material for her dances and Club meetings. Bev. asks me to thank all who answered her request for help. The Keen Klub of Colbome ii holding a dance in February to raise funds to purchase a new record player. That Klub is quite interested in findh.g out who a person by the name of "Square-toed Muginty" is. Seems that they received a letter from this character who suggested they raise their admission from 10c to lie i.nd that they hire a rambling com-boy orchestra and have some square dances. No one can figure out who the ron-de-plume belongs to, and it really has them puesslng.

I never gave the matter much thought until last year and then I began to take noticeâ€" and act ac- cordingly. And so it happened that when a friend phoned me quite early last Monday and saidâ€" "Are you go- ing to wash today?" â€" I naturally answeredâ€" "I expect to." But then 1 addedâ€" "But whvâ€" what had you In mind?" "Well, I thought I would come down for the day, but If you're wash- ing maybe I hadn't better." "Why not . . . come anyway . » . I'll be through by ten-thirty." « * * So my friend came to visit â€" arriving at 8.451â€" sat with me as I worked, helped when she could, and exclaimed at my good fortune when she. noticed that Partaer took over the job of hanging out the clothes. Personally, I think that a splendid idea. Gentlemen, please note : The easiest way to catch cold â€" or worse â€" is to hang ont clothes after get- ting overheated at the washing ma- chine or tub. The chances are you will only have one wife so why not try to keep her as long as you can? After dinner my friend and I were sitting in the living-room discussing what I had in mind for re-decorat- ing. "It's too bad you are not ready â€" we could have stripped the paper off today," said my visitor regret- fully. I looked at her, sensing the fact that being an active woman she was already getting tired of doing nothing. So I answeredâ€" "But I am readyâ€" we can go at it right now, if you like!" .And we did. By five-thirty the walls were bare. So, that my dear friends, is the way I entertain visitors. Was my friend hored ? Well, she phoned next day and told me when I was ready to paint she would love to come down and help. As 1 have said, or inferred, in this column upon other occasions â€" I think people enjoy a visit far better if they are not treated as "companv". • » * . .\nd what of the room? Well, th- weatheririan put an end to my enthusiasm. -AH my efforts for the rest of the week were spent in keeping, or trying to keep, the house reasonably warm. But in that I did not succeed, at least not as 1 â- â- ng as the wind was blowing. When it dropped, we were snug as could be even at sixteen below. Or was it that on one of those cold days I had a letter that warm- ed me right to the cockles of my heart? This was a letter from a fricrid in England who wrote â€" "I AM COMING!" just like that â€" in big capitals. Tentati-.'e plans are that she will arrive by air for an extended visit tt the end of her present school year. I suppose there will be the usual red tape to go "through â€" we must guarantee to be responsible for her keep while she is here as five pounds is as much as any- one is allowed to bring with them from England, but she hopes to sior scratching] ge/fe V Hth m a JUty ] * JbT'^MIm ItcMif dm to KiMM, jmOgt, --^^ •thkta'i lootâ€" 41x1 adapt lick troubhi.l7M "pg uMdioMd D.

As to that, I have been given to understand that no per- son visiting in Canada is allowed to take a salaried job â€" just as a protection to Canadian citizens â€" but I suppose there would be no objection to anyone picking fruit, or fi"ing in wherever there is a temporary shortage of help. In any case I am not worried. * « * Another letter we got this week was from a friend â€" in Canada â€" recently left a widow, and to our distress she wrote â€" "I am having such a time because there are five years' income tax returns to make out!" Will people never learn? Ju9t imagine that poor little woman, who has never been re- quired to help with financial mat- ters, to suddenly find herself faced with such a gigantic task. I sup- pose her late husband was one of the many who, if the Government did not bother him, thought it was all right to let well alone. But a day of reckoning always comes â€" and it isn't the government who loses out. Surely the least any man can do for his wife is to so arrange his business affairs that she will not be unduly embarrassed if, and when, she Is left with the full burd- en of responsibility. • • TABLE TALKS • • • An Easy Answer To "More Cookies'* You will be prepared for the un- expected guest if you make a prac- tice of keeping a roll f cookie dough in the refrigerator. When guests "drop in," or one jf the youngsters asks for a treat, cut somv. thin slices from the roll and pop them into a very hot oven. Thoy take only 10 minutes to bake. Here is a basic refrigerator cookie recipe, which makes about 100 cookies, and some variations: Refrigerator Cookies 'A cup butter â- ^ cup other shortening 2 ciipi sugar • 3 eggs S'-i; cups pastry flour 2 ts baking powder % ts salt Cream butter, shortening, and sugar. Beat eggs and add. Sift flour, baking powder and sah to- gether. Work gradually into mix- ture. Form into rolls. Wrap in wa.xed paper and chill in refriger- ator. When cold, ilice thm. Bake 10 minutes in hot, 400 degree F. oven. To make the variations, divide the dough after mixing it into three portions and put each in a bowL .\fter a variation is made, form into rolls, wrap in wax paper and put in the refrigerator. Marmalade Flavor with 54 teaspoon vanilla. Form into rolls, wrap in waxed paper and chill in refrigerator. When ready to use, cut very thin slices. Put 1 teaspoon orange marmalade on one slice and top with another. Press edges together and bake. Chocolate Nut Melt 1 square chocoiatu and add to dough. Mix well. Add ^ tea- spoon vanilla. Work in 54 cup chopped walnuts. Spice Add 1 teaspoon allspice and 1 teaspoon cinnamon to basic dough. Sugar Cheapest Of Energy Foods While costs of most commodities continue to rise, refined sugar re- mains the cheapest of all staple foodstuffs available to Canadian consumers. A survey just complet- ed at Chatham, Ont, shows the cost of sugar to the householder to be five cents per 1,000 calories â€" a full 50 percent below the cost of bread which places second on the list of low-priced energy foods. Third from the standpoint of econ- omy are potatoes at nine and a half cents per 1,000 calories. Winter cabbage costs the con- sumer no less than 11.18 per 1,000 calories. C jts o'' otlier staple food products per 1,000 calories follow: Rib roast beef 79H cents, back bacon 32 cents, cheese 35 cents, butter 21 cents, milk 80 cents, rice 11 cents and white beans 10 cents. Chopped walnuts may be worked kn. Pin wheels Flavor with 54 teaspoon vanilla. Divide the dough in half. Color one part with a few drops red coloring, or with melted square of chocolate. Roll out both portions of dough separately on waxed pi.per. Lay the colored portion on top of the other, and then roll the two together from one long edge, until both sections form one long roll. When sliced, each cookie wilt have a spiral of color. Black and White Divide dough in two, one por- tion larger than the other. Flavor larger portion with H teaspoon almond flavoring, and set aside. Melt 1 square chocolate and add to smaller portion. Flavor witl V4 teaspoon vanilla. Form into long roll on waxed paper. Take second portion and roll out >n waxed paper to width of about three inches and length of 10 inches. Place chocolate roll on this por- tion, and wrap almond-flavored dough around chocolate core. When sliced, and baked, there -will be a chocolate center bounded by a wide cream border. Orange Mix 3 tablespoons strained orange juice with dough. Grate skin of orange, and work in. Lemon Mix 2 tablespoons strained lemon juice with dough. Add grated skin of lemon.

After the preliminaries were over, he sat back to have a chat with the old man. "I understand you have a son is Hollywood. Do you see him often?" he asked. "Ah, he's been home every sum- mer for five years." "And does he bring his wife with him?" "He does, sir. And five fine gals ftiey were."
