MacGregor, 4cting A.A. & Q.M.G., Military District No. 3, today warned next-of-kin to rely on of- f icial advice and to ignore ahl un- authorized information regarding the return to Canada of soldiers serving overseas. He said that soldiers are return- cd .to Canada either by hospital ship or by troopship. In the case of hospital ships, the safe passage of which is guaranteed by all warring powers, security regula- tions are not 50 stringent, but in the case of troopships, which are subject to enemy action, the strongest possible security mea- sures are laid down.1 "When a soldier is returning in a hospital ship the relative of - ficially listed as the next-of-kin is advised first by letter by the Director of Records, Department of National Defence, Ottawa, about a week or 10 days lin ad- vance of the soldier's arrivai int Canada," hie said. "Imrnediately upon arrival at the port of dis- embarkation, the soldier is per- mitted to send a wire, at govern-r ment e4pense, to his wife, par- ents or relative, announcing that lie has landed in Canada and in-t dicating the date on which lhe ex-1 pects to reach the army depotr through which hie enlisted. j A list of returning personnel isr also given in advance to ail news- papers and radio stations by th district Public Relations Officer. Immediately following necessary documentation the soldier is per- mitted to send another free wire announcing the expected arrivai at his home. Army authorities, in turn, send an additionai wire to mayors or reeves givîng sîmilar information so that reception committees will be able to be on hand at the time of the soldier's return if so desired. Uniess advised by the Dîrector of Records, next-of-kin do not recei,ýe information regardîng personnel returning on troop- ships until the ship has docked safely at a Canadian port. At that time the soldier is permitted to wire his family, announcing his disembarkatîon and expected time of arrival hohne. Normally, this would be the first indication received by next-of-kin of the soldier's return to Canada. It is not întended that any sol- dier will return to Canada unan- nounced, but ail next-of-kin are warned to be sure to, advise the Dîrector of Records at Ottawa of any changes in address to avoid unnecessary delay in receiving in- f ormation. He said that relatives wishing to verif y reports of returning sol- diers can do so by calling the Pub- lic Relations Off icer, head- quarters, Kingston, phone 7466.

CCF DOCTRINE ONE 0F FEAR (Contributed by F. D. L. Smithx) In their efforts to stampede the uninformed, the professional theorists who lead the COF have persistently preached a doctrine of fear. They have irnplied that the conclusion of the war a few weeks or months hence will be followed by a grave economic and financiai depression. But, as Mr. J. M. Macdonnell re- minded his hearers at London the other day, business booms fol- lowed the Crimean War in the 1850's, the Austro-Prussian War in the 1860's and the Franco- Prussion War in 1871. The first World War, which ended in 1918, was followed by the longest peacetime boom in North Ameni- can history, although it was in- terrupted by a brief temporary depression in 1920-21, History records that the very shortages of all sorts of commodities, creat- ed by wars, have operated to, istimulate a greater development of resources and industrial ac- tivities. The outlook today is that this experience wili be repeated, per- haps on an exaggerated scale if a sound peace is negotiated. The chief task facing governments and business may indeed be to keep the post-war boom within bounds. On the one hand we have a world largely bare of necessities and luxuries. In many countries millions of people lack food, clothing, furniture, utensils and even houses to live in. The na- tions will be crying for food- stuffs and shelter and manufac- tured articles. Here at home, and more especially in devastated Europe, the demands upon agri- culture and manufacturing indus- tries wihl for many years at least be insatiable. On the other hand, Canada's manufacturing and agricultural industries have been stepped up during five years of war to new levels of production. Neyer be- fore did the Dominion possess anything like its present equip- ment of factories and machines or anything like the present num- b er o f trained and skilled artisans. Given sound govern- ment policies at Ottawa, together with reasonable econornic rela- tions with other countries, there seems to be no reason why this ricultural development. Th e average man or woman wishes to be assured that the gloomy pic- ture painted by the COF is a false one and that Canada's future can be happy and prosperous unless a few academic theorists with a fatal gift of the gab cause the multitude to rush down the steep hèll of Socialism into a sea of con- fusion and disaster. POSSIBLE JAP HEADACHE:- Members of the technical com- inittee of the National Resources Commission of China show great interest in the Canadian Pacifie Railway's Angus Shops, Montreal, where they are inspecting a marine engine taking shape for use in an invasion barge, which may see service in the Pacifie. The visit was part of a fact-findling tour of Ontario and Quebec i)lants in November to aid Chinese tost-war reconstruction. THE E vE 1~l Nyc By ANNE ALLA N - ,dro Home Economlst - *-- Hello, Homemakers! The taste for apples is enthused by their mild aroma and the satisfaction of good munching. However, the various ways in which apples can be used are numerous and can be served often if you watch the pro- portions of sugar. Nowadays we don't buy apples by the barrel-at least most of us don't. Our recent purchase of a basket of Duchess apples and our quota of one pound of sugar has been used as an experiment to find out what could be done with them. It was found that a family of six could have five different desserts which used every apple and one pound of sugar. 'Of course, there could be no guesswork allowed in the sugar measurements; yet we agreed the foods were sweet enough. Apple sauce was made from six apples cu$ up and cooked in one cup of water, then put through a sieve to remove skins and cores. Three tablespoons of sugar were then added. (We believe that al stewed fruits, fresh or dried, should be flavored with sugar I Christmas I OI FT Sý BOOKS Ail kinds for young and old.

By the way, we grated a little cheese over the apples before we put on the top crust. Apple dumplings are on a. par with pie as to popuiarity. Six apples were peeled and cored. These cavities were filled with sugar-it took four tablespoons. A square of plain biscuit dough was then folded around each, dampening the edges to seal in the juices. They were steamed over boiling water for 50 minutes and served with a diluted honcy syrup. Apple crisp is a super delicieus dessert, although it requires a little more sugar. Eight apples were sliced into a buttered casse- role and covered with the follow- ing ingredients that were crurnbl- ed together: 3-4 cup white sugar, 3-4 cup flour, 3 tbsp. hard butter, 1-2 tsp. mace and 1-2 tsp. cloves. A haîf cup of water should be poured down the side and the pudding should be baked in an electric oven at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. There were then two apples and two tablespoons of sugar lef t and these were used te make a Dutch apple cake. The method used for the cake was: measure and mix 2 cups flour, 3 tsps. bak- ing powder, 1-2 tsp. saît. Cut in 1 4 cup butter, stir in 2-3 cup * mîlk and a beaten egg. Spread the mixture in a shallow greased pan. Peel, suice apples and place ini rows on dough. Spinkle top with 2 tbsp. sugar and 1-4 tsp. allspice. Bake in electric oven at 400 degrees for 25 minutes. Serve with milk. We are aIse publishing other recipes which will help to con- sume the Canadian fall apples which are not suitable for sterage or expert.

Apple Sauce Orange Compote 4 1-2 cups apple sauce and 1 cup orange sections; add 1-2 cup brown sugar and few grains nut- meg.

Dear Sir: If possible I should like to have a couple copies each of your edi- tions of Nov. 2nd and 7th. The one carried the obituary of a former officer with whom I had the honour to serve for three and one haîf years and for whom I and ail who served with him had the very highest respect and ad- miration. His was truly a sterling character and your community and the whole country is the poor- er for his passing. I ref er to Capt. Gordon Cowling, quiet, self - effacing but who knew his duty and followed it to the end. The other carrîed two editorials and an article, elsewhere on its pages, which expressed the thoughts of ail members of the lst Midland Bn., and expressed them so clearly and forcibly that I arn sure every man of us will wish to have a copy. We felt from the day we were mobilized, and continue to feel, that no finer body of men was ever anywhere assembled together in one unit and each and every man has feit very keenly a sense of injustice at the treatment the unit re- ceived. That, of course, is so much water over the dam now, but it does give us old crocks who are lef t behind a bit of a lift to know that our own people knew the worth of our boys and that they too feit something of the injustice which so rankled with us. Thanks a lot for your very capable articles which made us ail feel at least a bit better. Since I arn still in the service I must request that rny name be flot used in any way but I feit I could not resist teliing you how much your articles are appreciat- ed. Sincerely yours, ONE 0F THE ORIGINALS. A rich man is one who isn't afraid to ask the clerk to show him something cheaper. THE QUESTION BOX Mrs. J. C. asks: How to store .heese to prevent hardening? Answer: Wrap it in a chees- eloth that has been wrung out of ,rinegar. Put in a waxed box and store in a cool place. Wet the .loth with vinegar occasionally. Mrs. A. asks: Is there any way .0 overcome the sulphur flavor of fruit stored with a preservative tablet? Answer: Pour off the liquid and boil it rapidly for 10 minutes. Add .he fruit and cook it until tender. Vitamîns C and B are almost de- ,troyed, but the flavor is better. Anne Allan invites you te write to her cle The Canadian States- mian.

Announcing that hydro power has been extended to 10,290 new rural consumers in Ontario dur- ing the past year Hon. T. L. Ken- nedy, Provincial Ministen of Agri- culture, told the Wornen's Insti- tute convention last week that the Drew Governrnent- plans to pro- vide eveny farmen and rural area with électnical facilities. "Five times as many new rural consumers, were obtained last year compared with the previous year," said Mn. Kennedy. "Of these no less than 6,327 were farmers. And that is only the start. We intend te continue ex- tending our power lines until evcry part of rural Ontario is serviced." Mr. K.ennedy said the extension of power to rural areas has been made possible because Ottawa re- moved some of the wantimc con- troIs and perrnitted the Ontario Hydre Commission te' obtain, the necessary materials. "Just how essential electricity is to the f arm home can be seen from a companison of the çx- tent to which farm homes have electnical equipment as compar- cd with town and city homes," hg said. "Thirty per cent of! te urban homes have electric ,ng~ but only 18 per cent o arm homes have thern. There are re- frîgerators in 40 per cent of the urban homes but only 171,% per cent of the farm homes have them. Neanly 100 per cent of urban homes have radio sets but there arc radios in enly 79 per cent of rural farm homes." The Agricultural Minister pre- dicted a large scale hydre exten- sion in rural areas as soon as other wartime restrictions arè ne- moved. "It may be pessible to> finish 50 additional miles of rural lines before the end of 1944, mak- ing a total of 350 miles of new lines erected this year," he said. "The 300 miles alneady complet- cd constitutes a big increase ever 1943, approximately cight times as much as was carried eut in that yearY~ GOLDEN HARVEST HOG FEEDS' *.RESULTS PROVE THE QUALITY Let your hog pens yield extra dollars for your pocket.
