If this is 'not done, the enzyme action does not stop sugar changing to Starch. Mrs. J. F, asks if you can freeze lcorn on the cob using the same method as corn niblets? | This can be done, but it takes more space in storing. Likewise fresh cucumbers can be success- fully frozen but we believe that the best method of using cucumb- ers is in pickling, unless you like peeled cucumbers as a cooked vegetable. Mrs. F. R. would like to know how much water should be used for blanching? The quantity of vegetable should be small enough to allow the water to return to boiling in one minute or less, depending on width of kettle. Then, too, we recommend blanching one quart or two pounds of vegetable im- mersed in about three quarts of water.

A teacher who can dram- atize her English and History lessons gives her students some- thing they will long remember. You and I may not be able to af- ford to do these things but the responsibility of educating our youngstérs lies with Miss B. not us and the more knowledge a good teacher has the more she is able to impart to the youngsters. 4. A teacher should be able to afford a fur coat , . . remember she has to be on hand regardless of the weather, granted it is an expense, but except in a freak winter such as this, it is necessary to health and comfort. 5. A teacher should buy good books, and they are expensive, yet I consider such as Toynbee's His- tory of Civilization, North Afri- can Prelude, Prescott's Conquest of Mexico and Peru to be essent- ial adjuncts to good teaching. 6. I also think a teacher owes it to herself to have some fun, ski, dance, skate, play tennis, golf or badminton, any one or all of them SLEEK PONTIAC Chieftain four-door Sedan. DISPLAYS TRIM YET STURDY LINES THE NEW 1950 PONTIAC offers more than a score of appearance and mechanical changes and is avail- able in 21 models beginning in the lowest price range, according to a General Motors announcement. New massiveness in frontal design is achieved with main grille bars reaching out and around the fenders. The new Pontiac offers a choice of six and eight cylinder engines, the latter stepped up to 108 horsepower. Other mechanical features include a new and larger radiator core Zor the six cylinder engine and rubber rear spring bushings to eliminate road shock and power transmission noises.

PENITENTIARY INMATES [LACKING IN EDU- CATION . . there is a report of a meeting attended by Joseph Me- | Culley, deputy minister of pen- itentiaries in which he states, Canada's criminal problem is very much a problem of youth and therefore a problem of educa tion." He goes on to tell that 90 percent of the inmates of ous penitentiary are Canadian-born, the majority of whom never completed their elementary edu- cation.

There is a definite ten- dency to become so immured in one's profession that the public begins to regard school-teachers as a separate sex, some parents and trustees even go so far as to expect them to be sexless. By now some of you are thinking teachers require the salary of say Betty Grable, nice thought, but you're wrong. + I did all of the above while teaching school in Toronto with OPTOMETRIST 69A COLBORNE OFFICE Tuesday and Thursday WILLIAM C.

I considered it then, and still do, money well spent . . . wouldn't even have argued with the board had they seen fit to subsidize me because there were times when a run in a pair of silk stockings could jeopardize all my well made plans. 5 I am not placing any blame on the local school-hoard, there are plenty of teachers being paid less than in this area, but what of the children? I spoke to some last year who lived on a farm right beside the school, When I asked them how they liked their teacher they replied, "We had five last year and we don't know yet whether the school will be opened this fall" I met another woman who had taught for some time as she said, "to help out." Besides her entrance her educa- tion had consisted of two years at the local! continuation school. I am not trying to belittle her, she was a good wife and mother and kept a spotlessly clean house with no books to clutter it up as she herself admitted, "I never get time to read anything." The fact was obvious in her speech with its you was, ain't it? and even youse After all she was only trying to help out, but she was no more fitted to teach in a school than I am to build one.
