Coru on the cobâ€" off tlw <cob â€" corn ground or flaked â€" cota •he food of a thousand variations, all of them good. No wonder our predecessors on this continent, the Indians, held the plant in deep re- verence, almost worshipped it in fact. And although modern methods of processing make fresh corn â€" or al- jnpst-as-good-as-fresh â€" a table pos- sibility the year around, this is the season when we seem to appre- ciate it most and serve it in as many ways as we can.

Fur-fetched Parasol â€" Keeping pace with Dame Fashion can be an expensive undertaking as dealers at the Fur Industries Fashion Show proved by dis- playing this mink-trimmed parasol. Basking ii the expen- sive shade of the fur-fetched creation is Betty Cagney, who gave visiting department store owners a knowing winkk when they discus.?ed the "high over- head'' in their business. She Bakes Twenty Fruit Cakes Per Day Turning out 20 five-pound iruit cakes a day is no more trouble now for Mrs. F. C. Picrson than tal<ing a class in Latin, though when she f;rst took on her C.N.E. baking job she considered even one fruit c^ke was a lair day's effort. During the school year Mrs. Pierson t.'aches languages, next term at the South River Continua- tion School near North Bay. Last year she taught at Port McNicol. But school holidays are too long to suit her. .\ widow, and for 30 years the wife of the postmaster ^t Boeton, Out., she believes that keeping busy when one is alone ^s the secret to keeping healthy, and so for the second summer is at the F.thibition. Her life has always been busy. After giving up her teaching job in Tottenham to be married, she was supply teacher in Beeton, and tutored half the youngsters in the neighborhood. Tlio 200 fruit cakes she is on the way to completing, with 140 alreadv safely in and out of the oven, aro for the luncheons and afternoon teas held daily by Mrs. Katt .\itken, women's director, during the Big Fair. Twenty cakes a day she has set as her 'luota. Fcwi Piay â€" A Hurry of feathers proved too much tor this farmer, five-year-o'd Robert Stamey, so he closed his eyes and went right on with the struggle to lug this indignant rooster to the family frying pan. Later, young Stamey opened his eves and mouth to a har<l-earned chicken and dumpling dinner. This brown-haired, bright-eyed school teacher, is also making; cookie hatter â€" enough for J6.00O coo'-iies, if you please, which will be put into the deep freeze and baked as needed. .'\not'"er job. which siie takes easily in her stride, is the making of 100 gallons of salad dressing. .She also prepares daily luncheons for 35 members of the women's division staff who. under .Mrs. Kate Aitken. have been busy for weeks doing the paper work that must precede the splash and excitement cl opening day. Professional •-hefs move into thn women's building kitchen as soon as the Ex., opens and Mrs. Piersnn moves into the pantry. Not that she minds in the least tor tliere she becomes storekeeper, making cer- t.iin that supplies of staples are ample for tlie hundreds of patrons who will fill the Balcony Restaur- ant. "Do you want to go on the books or work in the kitchen?" Mrs. Pier- son was asked when she first went to the C.N.E. "Give me the kit- then," was the quick answer. This complete change from the schoo' room, the excitement of it all, and being able to use most modern of kitchen equipment, like the giant electric mixer, and the dish-washintt machine, she finds a welcome and useful change. France has 'em, too â€" Just as in Canada, the war scare and tin fear of accompanying shortages brings the hoarders out from under the rocks in France, too. Here, as part of a national cam- paign to combat such foolish practices, a Paris agency displays a sign telling its customers, "We have oil, sugar, coffee and soap. Do not stock up. It is in your interest. Thank you," ^^ THUMB ^ Gbrdoa Smith / The garage is often a liability as far as the garden is concerned. Or it m.iy be the tall house next door that steals privacy. Clothes- lines, compost heaps and play cMuipnicnt â€" all of these pose prob- lems. They can, however, be con- ceaicil ill such a way that they become attractive, useful features. Many people make the mistake of thinking they can hide a house with a large group of shrubs and evergreens. Evergreens tend to be pyramidal and so do nothing to conceal the house next ,;i.or above the first floor windows. Then, too, evergreens are wide at the base and take up tlie most room on the gardener's own property. .^ shade tree or a flowering tree with a bioad head will do a better job. If the neighboring house is high, an elm, honey locust or maple could be planted. If it is low, dog- ^.â- ood, flowering crabapple or haw- thorn will sive the same illusion ol distance without taking up too much space. Flowering Trees A pair of flowering trees at the rear of the garden may form a screen for the neighboring house. It mav also shade the terrace and serve as the focal point of the gar- den. .Making each plant fulfill sev- eral purposes is particularly impor- tant on the small property. If the house was built before the di.ys of the attached garage, this building is probably in the far corner of the property. In that case, a screen of shrubs is obvious. This, however, may take up too much room. Instead, the side of the gar- age can seive as the back of an arbor. The .ground underneath may be paved with brick or stone laid in sand, and the top of 'he arbor provide a place to grow roses, grapes or clematis. Since the arbor is not attached to the house, it is probably secluded and may turn out to be the ideal place for out- door living. Such an arbor h :i.y help to solve â- ^tl-.e problem of what to do with tools and .garbage pails. .\ board and lattice fence can close in the arbor at either end. Nearest the kitchen, a cupboard on the outside conceals waste paper receptacles and garbage cans. On the inside of ihe arbor, the fence can form the back for cupboard-be!u-he3. in v/hich small hand tools and stakes can be kept. -At the other end of the arbor, the fence could screen the clothesline, the compost pile, or any area not for public view. Garage Next Door The garage next iloor is some- what more of a prohle:ii. How- ever friendly the neighbor may be. he is probably not going to wel- come the building of a lattice on his garage. If it is close to the property line and perhaps in the opposite corner from yo-jr own garage, posts with chains between them miglit he put up. Or an iden- tical lattice in front of ea^h of the garages may tie the whole back- yard together. Such a structure .should be almost as tall as the eaves of the garage, assuming that it is one-story high. .\ problem that exists on almost ail suburban properties is the nar- row strip between the drive-way ai'd the c-it'f- property line. It may be a foot wide or all bf six feet and (|uite unattractive. If it is a lawn, it is a nuisance to mow. If it is too narrow for a real shrub border, and a hedge is put in in- stead, constant trimming will be necessary. The hedge that is allow- ed to grow naturally wil' need some trimming to keep it within bounds. An inexpensive and attractive solu- tion is a fence with square wooden posts. The posts are left to weather and then strung with wire. The fence may be covered with any attractive vine. The space in front, however narroxw, can he a cutting border. Or, if it is in shade, a grouiulcover and spring bulbs might be planted. If winter cfifect is important, cuonynuis or ivy will grow to a thick green wall in a low years' time. .\ groundcover of myrtle will be true green all win- ter, and the daffodils and other early bulbs popping up through it will be easily seen in early spring A Specialty Border If this area is in full sun, it is a perfect place for a specialty bor- der of hemerocallis, iris, peonies or any perennial the gardener wishes to experiment with or collect. .\s a matter of fact, an interesting use of this narrow strip can even call attention away from the garage doors, which are usually open. Calling a tree a liability may seem harsh. But anyone who owns a small property with a Norway maple, linden or other heavy-headed tree, knows that they sometimes aren't worth the room they take. It is quite possible that paving under that tree, with bri-tk or stotif laid right on the earth, may fur- nish exactly the sitting area or children's play space that is needed. This will mean, of course, design- ing the whole backyard for th^it focal point, but frequently a mor." iniercsting scheme results. If it is an old fruit tree, or a high-headed specimen like elm, oak or honey locust, a circular seat built around it may turn out to be a favorite retreat How To Pronounce Welsh Words Of the Welsh alphabet, the let- ter! that seem to be difficult oi pronunciation are in reality not so. The dd that presents itself so fre- quently is soft as th in thou; t ia like the English v; h has the same power as in the English "hand"; ng as the ng in "long"; eg and th are hard as in the English words "cat," "dog," and "thin." The re- maining letters have the same power as they have in English, with the exception of two, which offer a slight difficulty in their pronun- ciation by an English tongue. These are the gutteral ch and the aspirate 11, The names of two stations on the South Wales Railway illustrate the sound ( Longher or Locher, and I.lanelly), and it is amusing to lis- ten to the remarks and the humor- ous manner with which the peas- ants hear the guards murder "the Oueen's Welsh." There are no sounds in our language equivalent to these of ch and 11, but most of cur rea<Iers will be able to enounce them when they are informed that the former has the same sound as ch in the Scotch "loch'' (a word with which all are familiar) and that the latter expresses the sound of the Italian gl, or the aspirated 11 of the Spanish. Having mastered these letters â€" a work of little labor â€" there will be no difficulty in learning to read Welsh. which is incomparably easier than English or French, from the fact that in Welsh no letter in a word is mute, and the accent with significant exceptions, is al- ways uniformly placed on the sec- ond last syllable. Those who are of the opinion that Welsh is hard or dissonant would do. well to hear any Welsh preacher of note in his native tongue â€" hear him display the rich resources of his poetic language, and pour out his harmonious sentences in solemn a.nd sonorous tones, and they will see cause to alter their opinion, and understand why it is he excites the enthusiasm of his hearers, and learn at the same time that it is possible to waken powerful emotions even m those who are utter strangers to the language of the speaker.â€" Frotu "The Book of South Wales," by Mr. and Mrs. S.
