PAGE FIVE THE CANADIAN STATESMAN. BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO TURSDAV- TTNr. 10fA1Re ,J:*jlQ .1k THE SEASON 0F HOPE Spring 1942, will be officially ushered out on Saturday and summer take its place on Sunday, although we have been enjoying summer weather for some time. The change of seasons invariably brings a flood of reminiscence, and everyone thinks of this spring and that spring when sornething momentous happened. For spring is certainly the season of import- ant events. In the first place as far as young people go it is the season of romance and June wed- dings, examinatiôns and gradu- ations. People a generation older will remember the great spring offensive in March 1918 during the last Great War. And who can possibly forget the horrible trne in 1940, when amid as enticing weather as a Cana- dian spring ever. offered, the radio blared hourly reports, each one gloomier than the last con- cerning fîrst Germany's invasion of Demark, then Norway, then Holland and Belgium, final]y France? And who can ever for- get as that glorlous spring went on and on, how Leopold of Bel- giurn capitulated and Paris fell and Britain was saved at Dunkirk by what stili must seemn a mir- acle? Last spring, every Canadian followed with intense interest the fate of Greece and Crete and earlier this sprîng Singapore, Bur- ma and the far east feil to the Japanese and Gerrnany attacked Sebastopol, still held by the val- iant Russians. And every spring more Canadians enlisted, stirred by new horrors abroad. Now at the end of our third war sping we can see glimpses of the end . . . the final offensive and victory we hope are in sight. This year, it was the tirne of a Red Cross drive successful in most parts of the country. Spring 1942 *i was a wonderfol season after the twa dark springs preceeding it. SWg is once more the season of FACINtHME SUMMER And what does summer brîng? For one thing it bas brought an amazing large quota of goads ta the local Red Cross rooms . . . ta be'finished by September. Any citizen who can thread a needle wili be weicome. This is the mo- ment for ail wamen ta spring ta action -... in the Red Cross rooms on Temperance Street. But summer bings even mare than thîs. It bings new styles and new restrictions . . . on the 22nd of June sugar ratianing will go into effect with coupons. This summer it wili be airnost impos- sible ta get the sweets we all lîke in hat weather. Cokes, ice creamn and iced tea are arnong those tbings we will all have ta cut down on. There will be fia div- ing ta the lake this summer for a swim and a breath of fresh air ... no dashing through the coun- try at top speed ta "cool off". Rernember the gas rations even in those hot July days. And surnmer will bring, as us-. ual, summer styles. The patriotic thing is to wear last year's cloth- es as rnuch as possible. Long tor- s05 and jerkins are still the height of fashion and skirts are just as short (about 19 inches frorn the f loor. In order to save material, new clothes will have tighter skirts, slimmer lines (doubtless slimrner> waistlines what with the lack of sugar, and the exercise frorn walking to save gas.) -K- PROBLEM 0F STOCKINGS One of the main problems this year wili of course be stockings. It is practically impossible to get, nowadays, the sheen stockings that were once a necessity for summen. Except for special occa- sions (when one feels justified in wearing those precious stockings saved frorn better days) younger people are quite justified in wearing ankle socks. In colleges ahl over the country, girls wear ankle socks, except in extremely cold weather, when all but the braver souls forswear bare legs, for cosy lisle stockings. This does not of course include dances... although at formaIs, some girls wear bare legs and sandals with brightly painted toe nails. And incidentally with the new paint for the legs it is quite im- possible to tell who is wearing stockings and who is not. Al- though for those who are not please be careful about painting your ankles and insteps . . . a streaky paint job looks bad at this point. FEMALE BLOOD DONORS Unfartunately at the Blood Clinic in Oshawa, they will not accept wornen as blood donors. Eventua]ly, tbey will probably accept those over 120 lbs. as they do in Kingston and Montreal. Ac- cordingly patriotic wornen will undoubtedly begin to build up their biemoglobin count (iran content) of their blood by eating vegetables, especially raw ones in salads, meat, and fruit juice (wîth as little sugar as possible for the sake of the rations).- This does not necessanily mean expanding one's waist measurement . . . anyway fat content has nothing to do witb how good your blood is. -K- CANADA NEEDS YOU On Sunday Bishop Beverly spoke at St. John's Anglican Church. One part of his extreme- ly moving sermon repeatîng: Let us all serve in any capacity we can and not stnive for leadership anîd pensonal glory. Every pivate in the army is a necessary cog there . - . just as much as the colonel . . . a battalion without a colonel may be an impossibility but certainly no more impossible than a colonel without a battalion. Evenyone rnust remember that a leader mnust have sorneone to lead and At is no shame ta follow a man mare suited ta leadership. This of course daes nat mean ta bhindly follow the nriost elaquent man, The Gerrnan people are do- ing that. But once having chosen a leader, and we have ail chosen ta follow Bitain, follow loyally and let no task be beneath loyal followers. Canada needs yau in what ever éapacity you can act. A youngster wound up his prayer, "And please God, make me a good boy." After a pause he continued, "Nevertbeless not my -will, oh Lard, but thine be done." CANADA'S HOMMWIES ARE CANADA'S j W - Y,,rIight On the "ýHomeFrot" in Wyour own kitchen, you can heip win the war by practical saing ... and stili treat the famiiy ta delicious nourishing foods. 0 The mnost delightful desserts ycu can s erve are smootbly rich custards or blanc mangea that can be made quickly and easily with pure, high quality Canada Corn Starchi Women Ethelwyn Hobbes "Consumer Information Special- very charming lady whose task it is to help Canadian housewives to keep their larders well stocked witoutsacificing quality to quanityandpatriotism to the palate. That the Canadian home can be well fed and economically run by a little judicious planning and purchasing is Mrs. Hobbes' firmn contention. She is CBC's official guide to wise shopping. Every Wednesday at 4.03 p.m., and every weekday morning ai 10 o'clock she is at the micro- phone to help the conscientious mîstress of the budget. FEW WOMEN REPLY TO MUNITIONS PLANT APPEAL FOR INSPECTORS There are two setups for wo- men war workers in Canada: Those who take employment in Canadian plants, working among explosives, guns and airplanes, and those who inspect the finish- cd product as it cornes along the inspection lines by belt convey- ors. Women are constantly in de- mand and the Director, Mrs. H. M. Sauve, Toronto, has a field staff constantly seeking womer inspectors. She operates under British authority and is concerned only with inspection duties. Last week The Statesman car- ried an advertisement asking that wornen desiring war work under the inspectorate setup, to presen' themselves at the Town Hall for an interview. Present as repre- sentatives of headquarters were Mrs. T. S. McKinnon, forrnerly o: Port Hope, and Mrs. H. S. Salter, formerly of Regina, who carnE east when her husband joined thE air force. Interviewed at the close of thE day, it was learned that only 2 women presented themselves a. candidates for the inspection ser- vice. The fact seems to be that with no al-out war plants in thE whole town, the supply of labo: among wornen is at the vanishing point. Evidently the factories ai Oshawa and at Ajax have absorb. ed over 90% of available femalE help. The ladies in charge of thiE recruiting campaign expressed the view that it may be the pari of wisdom to seek future help ir the prairie provinces where few wartirne industrial plants are 10- cated. 0F Interest to it .t n LIONS BICYCLE CLUB Active members of Bowman- ville Lions Bicycle Safety Club include: Ruth Dumas, Mary Hum- phrey, Teddy Ott, Ed.

IBOOK REVIEW SBy Kay 'Neil "The Making of To-Morrowv" by Raoul de RoussY de Sales The Making of To-Morrow was written since Pearl Harbour, and accodingiy is as modemn as its titie. The author was a French newspapermafl until 1925 when be emigrated ta thé United States. His viewpoînt is therefore more international than that expressed in many books of this type. He says fankly that concrete plans for the making of a peace are almost impossible now since no one cao predict the conditions in the tenitonies now accupied by Germany when victory is finally achieved. However, he reviews certain facts that one must under- stand in order ta bave an opinion about peace aftem the war. He has a deep undenstanding of bath Europe and America and bis stateinents are bnoadminded and intelligent. He discusses national- ismn and socialismn in ail aspects, and points out wheme they clash. His comprebensiaon of world af- faims and of the viewpaints of the peaples of the world powers is remankable. The Making of To-Morraw is intensely interesting and written in a fainly clear and at times un- expectedly humarous style. It is not, by its very complexity of subject, easy ta read. To those who bave time ta ead it how- ever, it la highly recornrended. It is one of the new books on the shelves of the Public Library. Mrs. D. Morrison and M.rs. L. J. Langs Miss L.

HELPFUL HINTSTio CONSERVE ENERGY IN HOME WORK These days when conservation of labor is so important, home and farm workers might weli take a leaf from the book of efficiency experts in industry whose sole job is to see that there is no xvaste of time or energy in the interest of increased production. In a hundred small ways the worker can improve his methods with an eye to turning salvaged energy in other useful channels. Here are a few suggestions: Have ahl working surfaces at a comfortable height so as to'avoid stooping or stretching, and keep frequently used articles easily ac- cessible. Fix doors, windows or drawers that stick; and latches, knobs, handies or hinges that have be- corne loose. Cut down on accidents by im- mediate repair of loose or broken steps on ladders or stairs. Keep cieaning cloths, cleansers and polishes in a basket that can be easily moved from roorn to room on cleaning day. Equip the kitchen with large, inexpensive trays to save steps when setting the table, baking and preserving.
