men in kl0 and blue wherever they are in their deepest hearts are lonely for the sight of familiar scenes and faces and so how about getting out your camera and taking some snap jrflkk christn holidays if you have a real camera fan in the family it will be simple to get some good indoor shots q the xmas tree and santa handing out the first gift or of the family group gathered around the gaylydecorated dinner table and raising high their glasses to toast the absent member of course as a rule for the amateur outdoor shots turn out the best and u you have some fresh snow to add glamour to the background some fine pictures are yours for the taking it is the simple familiar things your soldier boy win want to see the graphic shadow of the picket fence on the snow fresh foot prints leading to the snowcapped pump his favourite ninetree heavyladen with snow or a new snap of your home or church or shop or factory pictures of persons usually look the most natural when the subject is caught unawares at a favourable moment unposed group pictures in which the subjects are looking at some object of interest to one side of the camera usually turn out well action shots especially of children always have an extra appeal winter sports are an excellent field for the snapshooter so when during the holidays you go skating on the river or skiing or tobogganing or hiking be sure and

sure no gift you could send him from home will be so much appreciated t t t the spices ou use i your christmabcoqkjbry there is glamour in the very thought of spices with each dash of cinnamon clove or finger you add to jour christmas food a dash of the romantic east the land which for centuries have been associated with beautiful jewels silks and riches the goal of generations of adventurers who journeyed over unknown seas into un known lands food without seasoning is like talk without reasoning it is flat and savourless but the judicious addition of spices will add to the plain est food a subtle deliclousness there are thirty or moie different varieties of spices and herbs they may be the roots buds or bowers fruits bark or seeds of plants each depends upon delicate volatie oils for its pungent aroma and ability to impart flavour it is a thrilling sight to see a spice cargo unloaded from the hold of a modern liner but that is only the end of its journey yesterday thp waterways of india were- thick with pepperladen patimars tmtve boats shaped like a cradle and along the roads ambled ox carts and lazy mules with their precious loads of cardamom and tumeric and perilous ly fragilelooking sailboats manned by turbanned natives plied between the islands of the east carrying fragrant bales of cinnamon and cloves to the chief harbour of export but that was yesterday today those peaceful islands are the scene of shrieking guns and diving planes and exploding bombs and the picturesque names of those tropical spice lands are prominent on our war maps and in our war communiques and so you had better use sparingly the supply of spices now in your cupboards the dutch east indies are perhaps the richest in spices the molucca islands the spice islands java borneo celebes sumatra ball these are the garden spots of the world the native home of our cloves nutmeg mace and cinnamon in the malay states and southern china there are great planatlons of cassia ginger

thoroughly cleaned those that are ground are sifted through fine fftlfc to insure a smooth fine powder and all are packaged by machinery ekjlces lose their potency as the delicate oils evaporate so they should be fresh and kept airtight the best rule as to the amount to use is still no taste it is upon their skill with spices and seasonings that the great cooks of the world have always depended for their reputation but with a little experimenting and study the ordinary housewife can soon learn to prepare dishes for her family that are a gastronomic delight improved uniform internatioi ttlona the book of the week inside latin america by john gunther musson 4b8pp 4 00 most of us know so very little about our southern neighbours but never have the latin american countries been so much in the public eye so for this reason john gunthers latin america is particularly timely it is informative and educational but full of interesting anecdote that make it entertaining reading mr gunther discusses the economic geography of the republics but also politics and personalities and en deavours to interpret how the people live and how they are reacting to the major problems of the world todav and to the war he travelled 18938 miles by air alone to write this book visited all twenty republics and took notes on conversations with 338 people he dis cusses everything from schools fire equipment exports and minority problems to hoof and mouth disease he says the traveller is first impressed by the insufferable poverty illiteracy bad transport and social backwardness on one hand and ultra modern buildings and great wealth on the other he found a german fifth column almost everywhere german airlines covering the country h a web and german agents most active in argentine and mexico he reports the dictatorships in latin america have strong democratic leanings and discusses at length the urgencies of hemisphere defense and i ocoperation in interamerican trade spaghetti a l astra
