It is from these healthy, friendly sur- roundings that Canadians can constantly draw a new lease on life and fit themselves mentally, socially and physically to meet the day ahead--smiling. Often, people have no interests beyond their day to day tasks. It is not because they have no time for recreation and fun, but be- cause they don't know HOW to. play, or WHAT to be interested in. The Community Centre opens doors to thousands searching for. that contentment, found when all the people play. People are not ROBOTS. They have brains and feelings. They have hopes, dreams, ambitions-- talents. As of old, man cannot live by bread alone. People who know the joy of creating a fine painting, the thrill of producing beautiful or- chestral music from talent at hand, the satisfaction of turning out a good baseball team--these people need not resort to artific- ial stimulants and artificial amusement for their relaxation. They are healthy, happy people wishing there were more days in the week. The WEALTHY have always had their private tennis courts, their art lessons, their stamp col- lections, their music. They have belonged to private clubs, open only to those who can afford to keep fit through recreation. But COMMUNITY CENTRES are the order of 'the day. Many. are being developed as living war memorials. Thousands of towns and cities are coming alive with the help, encouragement and guid- ance of the national Division of Physical Fitness, the provincial and g , besides the interest of their own citizens. It is too) a human right. No ec- onomic or social group should be privileged to engage in it exclus- ively. Recreation, which keeps people feeling fit, is a community affair. It is something for every- body to enjoy. CALLING all cacti fans . .. If you have a big old fashioned soup dish or fruit bowl that's taking up cupboard space, get it out, fill it with dirt, and have the time of your life planting the bowl with five or six fascinatingly different species of cacti We've just finished planting a miniature garden of cacti in a pink soup bowl for the livingroom window. It's a conversation- piece already. Now, if we can just get hold of an old soup ladle, plant it with another kind of cac- tus and let it hang down over the soup dish . . . Slurp, slurp.

In any case it seems that the white man took the potato home to Ireland from South Am- erica. Our modern varieties are evidently much more productive and far superior to this less cul- tured potato. It was not until after a blight epidemic in 1847 that much thought was given to improving the potato. Today the best varieties grown in Ontario are the Katahdin, Sebago and Irish Cobbler--renowned for pro- duction as well as ideal for cook- ing. Potatoes are one of our most economical nutritious foods. Re- cently an economist stated that for an average hour's work in urban centres, one can buy 40 lbs. of potatoes. Back in 1918 the hourly wages of the working man in Canada would buy only 18 bs. of potatoes. Like all vege- tables, potatoes should be peeled thin. Baked potatoes should be on the menu at least three times evey week if you realize the value of the nutrients stored under the skin. Cook only until tender whether boiled, scalloped, or bak- ed. As a guide you may check the quantities you cook accord- inging to this table: Boiled potatoes, 25 to 30 min. 'Scalloped potatoes, 1 hr. at 850 Baked potatoes, 1% hrs. Do not peel potatoes morning and leave them in wa- ter because the starch contain- ing nutrients soaks out. Do not cook potatoes too long prior to meal hour as they will lose the vitamin value. Do not home-fry leftovers. Heat them in cream sauce, beef gravy, can of , Soup or brown in oven with drip- ping. Potatoes may be served in such a variety of ways to encourage eating this valuable budget food that it is wise to review the ser- ving of a boiled potato; Diced, Whole Ringed, Riced, Cubed, Mashed, Whipped with milk ad- ded, Creamed or Sliced. WEDGEWOOD (Continued from Page 1) erally associated with the name Wedgewood. Some of the best. artists, of the period were engag- ed to make the designs for Wedgewood Jasper pieces. In case you are unfamiliar with the Jasper ware, it is a fine semi- porcelain made in all shades of blues, greens, black and white. This particular ware was the re- sult of a tremendous series of ex- periments. Those of his trial pieces that have been kept run to over ten thousand pieces, and Jos- iah himself prized Jasper ware above all his other productions. The outstanding triumph in Jasper was the copy of the "Bar- berini" or "Portland vase" It took four years of experiment to get the correct colour, surface and texture before the copy was exhibited in London in 1790. About this time Josiah retired from active participation in the works and died a few years lat- er. In his life-time he complete- ly revolutionized the pottery in- industry, its methods of product- jon, its artistic and technical standards. THe , succeeding generations have carried on the traditions of Wedgewood. Four members of the tenth generation of Wedgewood now operate the new and mod- ern plant at Barlaston. | In 1881 the factory produced Knox Presbyterian Church was the scene of a pretty wedding on Saturday, when Dorothy Mabel Shelley, daughter of Mr. and Mus. William Shelley, was united in marriage with Gordon Robert Clark, son of Mr. and Mrs. S. H. lark, Toronto. The church was decorated with 'tall standards. of spring flowers in pastel shades. Rev. C. K. Nicoll, minister of Knox Church, conducted the cer- emony. The bride, who was given in marriage by her father, wore a gown of white brocaded satin. The high neckline of the basque bodice was outlined by an inset of net, and the full skirt ended in a circular train. The finger-tip veil was held by a braided net coronet, and the bride carried a cascade of red roses. Edith Shel- ley, the bride's sister, was maid i TS FNL the first of a series of tile cal- endars, each decorated engraved picture commemorat- ing some historical event. More than a thousand different special engravings of views printed on plates, cups, bowls, teapots, and dishes have been made, each one ating some event or illustrating some well- known building or place. Follow- ing the first air attacks on Lon- don in 1940, a series of 12 Lon- don views was produced in 1941 illustrating famous historical buildings that had suffered dam- age. In this day of strikes and union troubles, it is interesting to mote that no strike has taken place at the Wedgewood Works in 180 years: There are many there to- day whose fathers, grandfathers and great grandfathers spent their working lives maintaining the high traditions of the firm, For it is here that the craftsmen retain their importance. with an MIKADO We have a reasonably good stock of Royal Crown Derby Blue Mikado at the moment, including both the Dover and, Surrey Cups and Saucers at $3.15 each.

All three wore matching headdresses and carried spring flowers. The groomsman was Sid- ney Clark, Toronto, and ushers were William Shelley, Oakville, and Fred Pierce, Weston. The ceremony was followed by a reception at Riverside Lodge, where Mrs. Shelley, the bride's mother, received the guests in a dress of navy crepe with match- ing straw hat. She was assisted by Mrs, Clark, mother of the groom, who also wore navy. Both wore corsages of pink ros- es. The newly married couple left on a wedding trip to New.
