more flavou is ot- tadned by using minced raw spinach cook in milk for three minutes and thicken in double boiler for 15 min utes this will give the best nutritive value but do nit hesitate to use left over spinach vegetables in a cream sauce for soup mrs m p asks recipe for white- cake using small amount of sugar sugarstaring white cake h cup shortening 23 cup of white corn syrup h cup of

ally all ol our industries are honestly performing wonderful war work just as soon as a parliamentary committee would start a public inquiry into the operations of an aircraft factorj or shipyard the question would at once vrise in the public mind li to ha was wrong with that mduttrj an implication would at once arise that there was something wtoiir if cur meetings were in public your commit tee would hesitate to start inquiries with rosjeci to in honest industry perofrmlng an important war task but under our present practice no such deterrent exists wt haie visited manj war plants in this country we have unearthed honest mistakes and hove made recommendations which have re milted in the sa- are all of this has been done with out harm to the war effort and with out injury to industry 1 am reminded i that one of our first inquiries of sub committee n 1 was the british com monwealth air tlraining scheme the editorial under date of may 5th it is stated x quote unfortunately the public ac counts committee has been dor mant for years and the spelal argest air training scheme in the world no one would suggest that there was anything wrong with this undertaking of which we are all so proud but we did and in regard to this effort that honest mistakes had been made and we did further the rene gotlation ol contracts in respect to the air observer schools and in respect to the elementary training schools which achieved substantial savings to sum up the reasons why we hold our meetings in secret are 1 in secret meetings we obtain all of the facts 1 2 secret meetings do not in any way harm the morale of honest industries 3 when appointed wc were express ly instructed that our sole task was to search for economies and that wc were not to function as a public accounts or propaganda committee the british committee was not giv en the power to check into past ex penditures we were given the power to check into post expenditures but on our appointment were expressly told that the only reason why we should check into past expenditures was to lead the way to present economies we have no power to prosecute anyone if we fmd wrongdoing we of course re port it to the proper authorities should we at any time fail in this duty the evidence cannot be concealed because it is given in the presence of opposition members and these mem bers armed with the facts can then compel production of the facts through the regularchannels of government and havethematter inquired into by the public account committee this is not just surmise on my part be cause there ts on record an instance v here opposition members did bring up a matter unearthed by the wai expenditures committee which they thought should be investigated in his i wtcr ce the oppostlon members on bringing the matter to a public hearing before the public accounts commlute found they were in error and did not proceed further but this example quite clearly proves my as sertion in this regard i belivc very strongly that all pub lie business should be transacted in public the public are deeplj inter csted in the manner in which their money is being spent publicity is a strong deterrent to wrongdoers there th u delayed untn mttnjgbt ttie camp its deserted every one goes to town to the movies ifoey ha fan and theyre a- m of am said lata qkd rfwv ernment as a substitute this statement is not true war ex penditures committee was not ap pointed aj a substitute for the public accounts committee the public accounts committee is not dormant the committee held nuiny sittings last vear and is now in session mis year obviojoly these untrue statements are made to mislead the public now let us come to the facts the moneys which we have saved canada s war effort means that this money is not going to individuals and companies by way of profits you know just ns well as i do that when you start nterfering with profits just as soon us you touch a man s pocket book he can think up a lot of good reasoni to attack ji is true that no one has had the courage lo criticise is directly for the m hlch we have saved lor caajruawar effort but all of the ayssjjjiave been flank attacks at the present time a cc liberate attempt is being made to stir up public indignation over the fact that our meetings are in secret our opponents know full well tha public views more strongly than i do in this regard we still have all of the normal machinery for the protection of the public purse it is the duty of the opposition and the duty of the wartime information board to keep the canadian public and tbe world fully acquainted with all particulars ol this country s war effort if ther should oe wrongdoing and we are very proud of the fact that we have had no serious scandals but if there should wrongdoing there a the fullest possible right to public trial before the public accounts committee and just here i would like to state that it any op posit lor member if any mem ber of the house of commons believes that there is any foundation to the clark boot charges he can sponsor these charges from his seat in the house of commons and they will at once be investigated by the public accounts committee at public hear ings any member who makes such charges loses his seat if the charges are not sustained the fact that no opposition member has done thla ciear y shows the amount of confidence which they have in the clarx chargea as i said a moment ago the war ex penditures committee is an additional committee over and aoove an of the normal safeguards of government we do not spend any money our task is to find economics we were given extraordinary powers and we were clearly told how we should exercise them it is an undisputed fact that we have effected millions of dollars of savings for our war effort now coming to the reasons why cer tain groups m this country want to do away with the war expenditures com mtttee since we have saved millions of dollars for canadas war effort it is quite evident that this campaign is not sponsored on patriotic grounds one large dally printed an editorial making deliberate untruthful state- of fact to mislead the public j wul give you one at them in this editorial under date of may 50i rt is ted i quote rrfortunately the pmc accounts oonan to drgmant for years and thswcttroimntttee en warbi- pcp waa ooncedsd t 12m gpr- hearings would nullify the effective- ness of our work keeping these facts in mind i am quite content that the public should reach their own con elusions while i do not lor a mom ent suggest the meve which han inspired such attacks i do state with out fear of contradiction that at tempts m some quarters to do awaj with the committee or to nullify its eflectivepess has greatly cheered us in our endeavour to check waste in re gard to the war effort and i believe i can safely assure all who do not lika the way this committee is functioning or who would like to get rid of the war expenditures committee that this oommltee will continue in its struggle to check waste and greed until the won writes one of the most practised arrangers and conductors in the realm or raato music is harold green of winnipeg

first thought was of th blue limousine hod it arrived ahead of them7 a survey of the small grassy park set on the hilltop revealed no sign oil it among the few cars scattered about not that there was any hope to be gotten out of that it had happened before that they had gone to bed assured that they had eluded their camp follower only to and in the morning it had arrived sometime during the night but if they were really pursuing us mother had insisted julie carl ton they would make some effort to become acquainted but they dont they keep by themselves ft the trouble was that ever since mrs carlton had realized that her little girl was growing into an ex tremely pretty woman she had sufj fered from the complex that her daughter would be the natural preyv of all members of the other sex and there had been certain circum stances that almost justified her fears were they not at this present moment taking a trip to cure julie of an absurd infatuation for the boy next door that frequent bete noir of fond mothers of course julies father absolute ly scouted the idea that any car had deliberately pursued them from springfield through the white moun tains up the maine coast and across the border and now he pointed out the prob ability of their having turned off on the road that led to predericton theyve just been fhpg a trunk route like the rest of us he ex- plained hammering a tent stake mto the ground havent seen them all day have we well daddy julie grabbed her fa thers arm there it is now the blue limousine i in a cloud of dust from the gravel road arrived the huge car of ancient vintage for all its recent coat of azure paint hardly had it stopped before the longlegged youth whose appearance had grown so familiar stepped out cast his glance toward a square of level ground farthest from the carlton car and indicated the spot to his father m the drivers seat with a gesture well said mr carlton very firmly these tourist camps are free to all and as ive done nothing to put any one on my trail theyre welcome to track me to hudson bay if i go that far and for anything ive seen to the contrary that young man doesnt even know our julie exists the next few days however could but show if there was actual inten tion behind all this if the blue limousine party timed then depar ture with that of the carltons who were remaining over for several days to take m side trips to nova scotia and prince edward island there would be little doubt that they the carltons were the object of an inexplicable pursuit on the second night the blue limousine was still there but the carltons spending twpdays in am herst were unawareoftne fact the third night the car was gone but notauofthe equipment on the following morning mr carlton rising early for a speedy getaway saw the long legged young man come out of his tent look arounda bit then start pitching out the duffle bags yet it is doubtful if he would have done what he did had not he ob served half an hour later his daughter julie sauntering over from the pump in the young mans com pany had there really been other opportunities for them to meet throwing down the tent pole he was disjointing he strode over to the blue limousine and addressed the young mans father sort of funny how you people are trailing us he said abruptly the other man looked sheepish then grinned with a caution glance in the direction of his wife tent he came over to carlton and whispered in his car say i m glad of a chance to tell you all about it it was my wifes idea we ve been doing this motor camping business for fifteen years been everywhere got so there was no kick out of it going the same old places so abby suggested we get a thrill by not knowing where we would land up last we took was last summer and we took every third concrete road but this sum mer she says let s follow the first camping party we see after pulling out of the athol camp and it was you we havent meant to be a nuisance my son is just getting over an illness and his fiancee is off teaching in a girls camp so wj brought him along hes kind disgusted with his mothers idea bi you sure have taken us into a fine country 1 when julies father told her she sniffed that nice young man told me all about it this morning shw said and by the way dad nilea wrote me that it i dont come home pretty soon to get the ring he bought me eh dartre op here
