Judges Bert Parsons and Doctor Murray Deans left Rev.

An opportune time to get husbands to donate to) the Hospi- tal Fund, H. M, Caine next introduced Bert Parsons, a director of the Dale Carnegie Institute, who has "| offered to open a class here in public speaking if a sufficient number are interested. Deliver- ing a spirited address, he said, "The new look in public speaking stresses naturalness of voice and posture and the necessity of hav- ing a feeling of love for your au- dience." It is somewhat difficult to know how anyone could con- duct themselves with love for their audience if they felt the urge to get up and refute a speaker at a Communists' rally, 'But no one went into that, -- Hello Homemaker!

In winter weather, cold sand- wiches make 'a cheerless meal. That kind of meal, added to a hurried breakfast and a long walk 'in the wind, does not give exactly the sort of foundation needed for a good day's work! But it is a fact that for 200 days out of every year, the child at- tends school and eats his mid- day meal there, All told, one- fifth of the meals eaten in a \| vear are eaten at school. Surely, then, the mid-day meal is of prime importance. Should it not be planned to meet defin- ite educational objectives, Some school .areas have done this; one particular section to be com- mended is the township north of Woodstock, where the Red Cross nutritionist is giving splendid leadership. The average rural child has a long and strenuous day. He rises. early, has a few chores to do, and then a drive or walk to school. After seven or eight hours away from home more chores before a hot meal, All this - re- quires energy and the right food to supply that energy. Building material is essential for growth if strong bodies are fo result. We must also supply children with the foods necessary to keep the various organs functioning, and resistant to disease, In communities where lunch plans are being proved important the week's menu is posted so that mother may round out the lunch and supper with the daily essen- WE HAVE IT -- Thomas Street, Telephone 668 For Books From H.

Milk--4 glasses or equivalent in soups and desserts. 2. Vegetables--1 serving pota- toes, 2 servings other vege- tables 3. Fruit--1 serving tomato or citrus fruit, 1 or more servings \ other fruit. 4. Meat, fish or cheese--1 serving. of either of these. a week. 5. Cereal--1 serving whole grain cereal with milk, 4 to 6 slices vitamin-rich bread. Some source of Vitamin D such as fish oils, additional foods to satisfy the appetite and activity needs, Good Food for Children: BAKED CUSTARD 3 or 4 eggs, 1.3 or 1.2 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, 3 cups hot milk, 14 teaspoon vanilla or a little nutmeg. Beat eggs slightly. Add sugar and salt. Add hot milk slowly, but- ter, then flavoring, Strain, Pour into buttered custard cups, and steam over boiling water, or put in pan of hot water and bake in slow oven (325 degrees F.) un- til firm--about 40 minutes. NOTE: 4 eggs are necessary if custard is being made in one large baking dish, To test custard, in- sert a silver knife in the centre, and if it comes out clear, custard is cooked. BAKED APPLES Wash and core good uniform Canadian-grown apples, Put into 2 'baking pan, fill the centre of each apple with sugar, and add a bit of butter on 'top, Add enough water to cover the bottom of the pan.

George H, Doucett said today, announcing a near-record low of 22 deaths last month. The pre- vious 10-year average was 32 fa talities for January, the minis- ter pointed out. "This is good news," Mr. Dou- cett says, "but cold weather was on our side last month to keep a lot of cars off the road, On- tario's drivers and pedestrians will have a hard time to keep this good record up unless we all male it a point to learn and obey the traffic laws. Everyone has some of the responsibility; every man, woman and child in Ontario can help prevent death and in- jury simply by being careful." Five children were killed last month, though this was one less in January, 1947. Special atten- tion is being given to the safety education of children through their teachers and parents, the minister says, with safety mea- sures and lessons designed for the various age groups, There was definite encouragement, he said, thoroughly.

After euchre, the ladfes of the community served light" refresh- ments and this was followed by dancing to the music' supplied by Bennett's orchestra.

Pedestrians, as usual, brunt of traffic , bore the casualties last month. Of the 22 traffic accl- dent deaths, 14 were pedestrians and only two drivers, The total of 22 for the month was lower than in any January since 1943 when gasoline ration- ing restricted the use of vehicles. Winter sports enthusiasts certain vy have cause for rejoicing, what with all the lovely powder snow everywhere in their territory, and the charming clothes made for nc tive sports, and the pretty Sitesi] clothes. From the latter group is chosen a snug little quilted Challis lacket in a red and black floral print on yellow.
