PAGE FOUR THE CANADIAN STATESMAN, BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO THURSDAY, MAY 6th, 1943 Lions Hear How Their Fund Is Helping Dombed Victims Lion Charlie Carter has handed us an interesting letter which was received by Bowmanville Lions Club f r o m Captain Graham Jamieson, a memDer of the Credit Valley Lions Club, Cooksville, who is serving as a chaplain over- sets. Captain Jamieson was min- ister of Dixie Presbyterian Church and later St. Andrew's Presby- terian Church, Port Credit, prior to enlistment. In the letter Captain Jamieson tells something of what the Lions Club British War Victims' Fund is doing for the unfortunate chlldren in Great Britain and how it is appreciated. He writes: "Funny how you find things out. You go casually on your way-suddenly to find that you have an intimate connection wjth things going on right under your nose.

At Christmas they were among the 280 children whomn the Regiment entertained at parties. On the eve of leaving the comrnunity, I drop- ped in to thank lier for her many kindnesses. ln the course of the conversation 1 mentioned t h e Waifs and Strays Society and Mr. Vaughan. She was surprised that I should know about thern. I went on to explain about the Lions Club British War Victirns Fund. The words were no sooner out of my mouth than she interrupted ex- citedly to inform me that ail the children in her home were Waifs and Strays, and the odd one was heiped by our funds. Then the conversation really began to buzz and when her husband came in from Home Guard Duties a quarter of an hour later, I was feverishly taking down notes like a newspaper reporter to incorpor- ate in this letter. "Imagine getting word from London that in a few hours 300 chiidren were to arrive at the station to be billeted in the town. That happened to her when the Blitz started. That it was al handled smoothiy was due to her knack of organization. "I wanted to know Wbat the chiîdren were like when they ar- rived. These ail happened to come from the east end of Lon- don. Most of the better to do had friends in the country to wbomn tbey couid send their children. You men have done sufficient work among the underpriviieged to know the conditions under which many of them live. You wili know that conditions about to be portrayed are not restricted to England. Slums are slums anywbere; London, Engiand, or London, Ont., York or "York" (Toronto). The cbildren crabbed first about the food. Not that it was unwholesomne or insufficient in quantity. Far from it. Rather thut it was not wbat they were accustomed to; fish and chips. They knew nothing about sitting down to a table, let alone eating a good square meal of whoiesome victuals. They had been in the habit of sitting on the front steps or on the curb, eating fish and chips out of their hands. Ever 50 many of them were not "House Broken'. Ken wvas rather typicai. He was a screaming, swearîng iittle Hooligan. He would bite,l kick and scratch the other chiid- ren, and hit them over the head with whatever came to hand. At two years of age he actuaily ruled the roost. It iooked as if he had been left on the doorstep at home to fend for himseif. Six weeks later, said Mrs. Felton, you wouid not recognize him as the same cbiid as he greeted you with a pleasant "Good Morning" or if you saw him at the table eating like a perfect littie gentleman. "Mrs. Feiton was in an excel- lent position to assess the value o! the evacuaýion scherne for children. Ten were living in ber home, though she bad no respon-. sibility for their supervision or care. A nurse and a cook attend- ed to that. She was deiigbted with the improvernent sbown, and when a woman speaks weil of chihdren living in her home under the care of another wornan you can bank on it being true. Two years ago they came. In the in- terirn they have toned down amazingiy. At the table they are as well behaved as you couid ex- oect children to be. Tbey have been taught to sing many songs and now sing spontaneoushy at work and play. One littie thing tells the wbole story. Every time they are given sweets one or more of them corne ini to offer some of theirs to ber. They are taught to share whatever they receive and bow to do so spontaneousiy. "She, and later many of the Matrons in the Nurseries I vis- ited commented with gratitude on the gifts of food and ciothing me- ceived from Canada. Mr. Vaugh- an toid me that much of it came from the Lions. I don't know wbether you now have thern to iowed to send things over, or whether you no wbave thern to spare. but warm wooilens, par- ticularly kiddies sweaters are rnost acceptable ta the Waif s and Strays. I arn not allowed to can- vass for gifts but that is not can- vassing is it? I did flot ask for anything, now did I? While I am at it. if your wives work in the Red Cross, the I.O.D.E. or allied organizations, tell them that I have had, iteraily bundreds o! .eop]e tbank thern from the bot-l tom of their hearts for the gifts of clothing which corne to aid those bombed out o! house and home.

The meeting opened with Mrs. Gai- braith in the chair. Miss A. Mountjoy took the devotionai on "The Risen Lord", bringing out the revived hope of the disciples when they saw their LoEd risen from the grave; the great com- mission given to the women to "Go and Tell" and the promise "Because I live ye shahl live also"'. One quilt was quilted during the afternoon. The fact that our Church bas been built 50 years this faîl was mentioned and plans were to be made regarding this. Readings were given by Mrs. Geo. Jolinston, Mrs. Galbraith and Miss A. Mountjoy. The Study Book on Christian Education was taken by Miss Marjorie Galbraith, stressing the influence of the home, the public school the Sunday School and Church, besides other so- cieties for youth which play a great part in the life of young people. Rev. R. J. Harrison of Smith- field preached to a splendid aud- ience Sunday morning, with a view to a caîl. Rev. D. M. Stinson preached at Springfield with a view to an. exchange. Mrs. A. Wolf e and Mrs. Hyland returned to their cottage "Dahlia Del" last week. Mr. and Mrs. Stewart of To- ronto, were here Saturday to com- mence the trout fishing season. The thermometer was down to 24 degrees early Saturday morn- ing so the fishing was none too pleasant. Miss Bessie Edgerton, who is attending Peterboro Normal, is student teacher at C ae s area School this week. Teeth for Biting A worse move might be made than to pattern the proposed Council of States on the model of the old League of Nations. With this difference-that full allow- ance must be made for the strength of human and national selfishness. "Teeth" must be put into any new Covenant; provision must be made for enforcement, by force if necessary, of its rul- ings. - The Owen Sound Sun- Times. Waifs and Strays Society and specialize in orthopaedics. They were pioneers in introducing the outdoor treatment, similar to that used in a sanatorium. The hos- pitals have a very high rating. The children whom I visited were 1 in these speciaily constructed wards, a roof overhead, sections of the wails folded up to expose them to the air. First I landed among a group of boys, some in their lots, the others hobbling about. School was on. Teachers had found that twu of them had sent Lions Christmas cards. Ques- tions were showered at me from ail directions: Why do we cal ourselves Lions? How cold is it in Canada now? Tell us some-. thing about Canada? On the spur of the moment I had to rack my brains to choose from a vast array the features most likeiy to interest them. I am afraid I favoured the spot where the fund was born- St. Catharines and the Niagara Peninsula. To offset the mis- taken idea that we have perpet- ual winter I told of all the fruits which we grow in that area. It was a mighty choice of subject. Ever tried it? You can go on and on and on naming them without stopping. "The girls were different. Ever meet a woman who did not know somehody everywhere you go, wbether it be a player in the dance band or the people across from you in the littie restaurant around the corner?

They would not give me a chance to find out about themselves. It was not until I sat down to four o 'dock tea with the Matron and Assistant at the home in Leigb that I found I had a chance to get more "Case Histories". "You see the kiddies at the first nursery home had mumps,1 fifteen of them at one time, think it was. Well, you knowI that set-up. We did nothing bt talk about mumps. Oh, ye,ad toys. Toys are so indispensable when kiddies are shut up in quar- antine. But toys are getting scare.no. What a tribulte ne it, their shelter at home. Strange that after a year a kiddie should still prefer to sit and play - in a cupboard. The effects of the blitz trail on and on. "And I have to stop. But, Lions ail, there is need that your noble efforts, too, go on and on to meet that need 1that drags on and on ..."I THEF MIXING - BOWL By ANNE ALLAN Hydro Home Economisi - THE SECRET 0F "JUST-PERFECT" MERINGUES! Hello Homnemakers! Women not anly want ta turn out pieces o! war equipment with precisian but they aisa want ta turm out "just- perfect" foods at home. Among tbe "extras" that give us speciai delight are the meringues, delicate and golden-the crown- ing glory o! pies and tarts. But there bave been mysteriaus mer- ingue failures even in aur veryi best kîtchens. So we bave gone hunting for dlues ta "just-perfect" meringues ta put you "in theq know".1 The ingredients are simple-egg1 wbites, sait, a littie sugar and1 fhavouring. Take eggs from e- frigerator and let warm ta room temperature. You will be reward-1 ed with greater volume o! froth.i As you break each egg, separate1 the yolk fram the white. If suit- able for meringue, white will be clear and firm and will "plop" into tee cup quickiy. If white is weak and watery, set egg aside for omelette or custard. Be sure ta use ail o! the egg white, in- cluding the tbicker portion dling- ing ta sheli and yoik. Use a bowl that is small at the bottom. Plac- ing it on a folded towel prevents it from slipping. Add à pinch o! sait; measure out fine sugar (2' tbs. sugar ta eacb egg white, or 1 tb. honey, syrup or jelly). Use the roiling pin ta coarse sugar. If you use an electric beater add sugar priar ta beating. When beat- ing by fork or dover beater, beat whites ta a foam before addingj any sugar. Beat in bal! the sugar,1 teen foid in remainder, sprinkling it in-thus less danger o! over- beating. The "just-pemfect" mer- ingue is shiny and moist looking. Peaks shouid be stif! wben beater is lifted out and whites hold their position when the bowl is tipped. If you beat too long, the mixture begins ta fiy out o! the bowi and the volume wiii be small. It is important ta stop beating at the proper moment. Your pie or tarts should be ready for the meringue mix which is spread with a duil knife or spatula. Bake in a pre-heated aven o! 375 degrees for 10 mins. Let cool at raam temperature-do not cbill quickly. RECIPES Fluffy Omelette 3 tbs. baking fat, 4 egg yolks, 1-4 cup water, 1-2 tsp. sait, dash o! pepper, 4 egg wbitps stiffiy beaten. Heat fat in skiihet. Beat egg yolks until creamy. Add water and seasonings and mix well. Fold in egg whites and pour inta skiliet. Cook slowly aver low heat until it is browned eveniy on bottom. Set in moderate eiectric aven and cook until it is f irm ta the touch. Fold; serve. Serves 4. Scalloped Eggs 4 bamd-boiied eggs, 2 cups White Sauce, 3-4 cup chopped cooked chicken, veal or fisb, 3-4 c u p buttered cracker crumbs. Chop eggs fine. Sprinkle bot- tom o! a greased baking dish with crumbs, caver with bal! the eggs; caver eggs with sauce and sauce with meat; repeat. Caver witb e- maining crumbs. Bake in eiectric aven at 375 degrees until crumbs are brown. TAKE A TIF: Uses of Egg Yolks 1. Substitute 2 egg yolks for 1 egg in cake, mu!!fin or cookie redipes and add 1 tablespoon more liquid. 2. Poach egg yolks bard. Drain and use in salads, grated in cream sauce, soups, sandwich f illings, casserole dishes, etc. 3. Egg yalks wbipped into a cup o! mihk provides a perfect, nourisbing drink. TH EQUESTION BOX Mrs. C. C. asks: "What makes a Housewives Urged To Dry Apples This Fail "Even if the 1943 Canadian apple crop is no larger than that of iast year, we must expect ta see more production o! dried appie", says E. A. Summers, Ag- ricuiturai Representative. The dried product bas camne into strong demand after the appie being hardest bit by reduc- ed canning just as it bas by lass o! overseas outhets. There is no assurance o! any metal contain- ers for apple sauce, apple juice or pie appie, for civilian consump- tion. Of these the loss o! canntýd pie appie is feit least by. the housewives, but it is a real los ta the bakers and ta, industries sucb as mining, lumbering and construction camps where the de mand for dried apple is increased also by the scarcity o! supplies o! other fruits. It is worthy o! passing mention that among bakers now using dried apples for pie, some com- plain that the fruit colour in the pie is darker than witb canned apple. Possibiy this complaint is a naturai outgrowth o! years o! customn in making pies of canned appie. The fact is that dried apples o! many o! the best cul- mnary varieties give the desirable golden complexion of fresh apple in pie or sauce, while in a few varieties the cooked product is somewhat darker wbether from fresh or dried apple. Ahh o! wbicb leads up ta a sug- gestion that those housewives who bave not forgotten bow migbt well turn the dlock back next auturno and dry some apples at home ta help out the short suppiy o! raisins and other imported fruits for home baking during the winter. meringue tough on top and raw underneath?" Answer: Too bot an oven, or trying to brown it beneath a top element instead of fuliy pre-heat- ed eiectric oven. Use temperature of 250-275 dgrees. Mrs. C. B. R. asks: "Why are custard pies soggy on the bot- tom?" Answer. Custard pies must be piaced in a bot oven (450 degrees) to cook pastry quickiy, for eigbt minutes. Then reset eiectric oven control to 275 degrees and bake until silver knife cornes out of custard dlean (about 30 minutes). Cool quickly so that fat in pastry hardens before steam from cus- tard causes sogginess. Anne Allan invites you to write to ber dlo The Canadian States- man.
