Stir in the flour, then add the stock and parsley stirring constantly. Serve with beef. STUFFED ONIONS 6 medium onions, 1/2 cup chopped ham, %k cup bread crumbs, 'k cup milk, pepper, 1 tsp. sait, 1 tbsp. fat. After removing a slice from the top of each parboil onions until almost done. Drain and remove the centres, ieaving six cups. Chop centre part o! onion and combine it with ham and crumbs. Add seasoning and refill the onion cups. Place them in a baking dish, cover with a few crumbs, add milk and bake in an electric oven at 425 degrees about 15 mins. BAKED MINCED STEAK 11/2 lbs. minced beef (round steak), 2 cups bread soaked in milk, 1 smail onion minced, 1 tbsp. baking fat, 2 eggs, 4 hard-boiled eggs, 1 cup o! to- matoes, %k cup sliced onion, sait, pepper, and 1-8 tsp. gin- ger.

If you want to reheat muf- fins, put them in a paper bag and twist the top tîghtiy; put in a pre- heated electric oven at 300 de- grees turn off the heat and let them warm through. Very dryr ones may become moist by put- ting a few slices o! raw potato in the bag, too, and ieaving the bottom element turned on. 2. Don't neglect to make a smail "turnover" when you bake a pie. Your smail son will think he's pretty important with his own pie. 3. It's not necessary to boil fresh mapie syrup before you bottle it. But it shouid be put in sterilized jars and seaied, using rubber bands dipped in baking soda and hot water. Jars should be stored in a dark cool place. 4. Try making candy with shortening instead o! butter. 'We made some for a bazaar and it sold like hot cakes. A fudge recipe and maple fiavoring were used. THE QUESTION BOX Mrs. N. B. asks: How do you cook spare ribs so they are moist, not hard and dry? Answer: Here are* 2 precau- fions: 1. Bither roll tlem in heavy greased brown p9per, leaving ends open, or iay flat with moist dressing on top. 2. Cook in a preheated electric oven at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes. Mrs. T. J. asks: How do you get along without a steamer? Answer: I put puddings and even diced vegetables in lightly greased soup tins, cover them with pieces o! butter wrapping paper tied on. Then place them ini a kettle with water surround- ing them two-thirds to the top o! tins. Mrs. B. M. says: I sharpen knives by scraping them fiat with the edge along an old earthen crock.

GIGANTIC WAR JOB 434 Milli on Tons of Freight, 133 Million Passengers, 4 Million Troops Carrled b>' Canadian National Railways ln FlV e Years of War. Attawa, April 17: "During the five years and four months of war, from the beginning of Sep- tember, 1939, to December 31, 1944, the Canadian National Rail- way System, the largest single in- dustry in the Dominion, carried on a gigantic work for the people of Canada and their Allies," says a supplement to the C.N.R. annual report to Parliament for 1944 which analyzes the System's con- tribution.. Freight and passenger train miles traveiled during the period, the report states, aggregated more than. 330 million. Measured in car miles, the total is neariy ten billion. Freight amounted to more than 433 million tons. More than 132 million passengers were carried -greater than ten times the entire population of Canada. More than four million troops were transported, requiring 6,540 special trains. Special trains for war industry workers carried 37 million passengers. Canadian Na- tional dining cars served an aver- age of nearly 11,000 meals a day, a total of more than 21 million. More than three million guests were accommodated by the Com- pany's 12 hotels. Upwards of 14 million hotel meals were served. Purchases made by the Railway amounted to considerably more than $500,000,000. With an average staff of 97,065, the System paid out $967,500,000 in wages during the war period. Twenty thousand men and wo- men of the System enlisted with the armed forces; 562 have losti their lives; more than 100 have been decorated for gallantry. The Canadian National and its em- ployees have subscribed nearly $147,000,000 to the Victory Loans and in the purchase of War Sav- ings Certificates. During the war the System has saivaged and reclaimed more than a million tons of scrap materials. National Railways Munitions Limited at Montreai, the Cana- dian Nationai's Dry Dock and Shipyard at Prince Rupert, B.C., and the Company's shops in East- ern and Western Canada are busy in war work. The Canadian Na- tional shops turned out ten hos- pital cars, the design of which was adopted as standard by the Do- minion Government. The Cana- dian National Steamships fleet of freight-carrying vessels travels ail over the world in the service of the United Nations. The West Indies liner, Lady Nelson, is Can- ada's senior hospital ship; the Lady Rodney is an army trans- port. Two ships formerly in the Alaska service, the Prince Henry and the Prince David, are now combined operations cruisers, and the Prince Robert is an anti-air- craft carrier. Ahl three were given important tasks in the in- vasion of Europe. In addition to transporting more than 12 million pounds o! wartime mail, two million pounds of express and more than hlfaia million passengers on its 5,299 miles o! domestic routes, Trans- Canada Air Lines operated a trans-Atlantic service. In its shops T.C.A. carried out a large program of military aircraft overhaul. Kidney Acids Rob Your Rest Many pepi. r n. te e t a a eet uuà,'atet. TIi.y tutc and toss-Iijaawaite .»d c&eon hep.

W. New- ton, Zephyr, Ont., who has been visiting at the home of his son-mn- law, Dr. Harold Ferguson. The paper was published in Toronto by a committee of Wesleyan min- isters and deals largely with re- ligious matters and the growth of their church in Ontario. There was as well references to events taking place in the British House of Commons and the raising of funds for foreign missions throughout England "at a time of great fînancial distress". The paper is an 8-page, 4- column production and was found in a fine state of preservation, with type as readable as any paper today. Two columns on the back page were devoted to adver- tising with simple statements of what was for sale and in no way resembling the flamboyant styles of today. The writing and gener- al text and departments are of an order showing that great pains were taken to make the paper readable and informative. Interesting were the reports of mleetings of Wesleyan Methodists along the lake front from Picker- ing to Belleville conducted by Rev. M. Richey, A.M., and Revi J. G. Manly, but a search for local names revealed none that any may recaîl in this particular dist- rict. The paper shows that a deeper interest was taken those days in the church and Christian- ity and evangellsm than today. The column headed "Civil In- telligence" told of the introduc- tion of the "Corn Laws" legisla- tion in the British House, with debates among such leaders as Sir Robert Peel, Lord John Rus- sell and Mr. Gladstone. At that time too came the introduction of the Slave Trade Treaty, signed by ahl powers in Europe save France. There was war then, too, for, a force was despatched in 17 ships to China. Our thanks to Mr. Newton for the privilege o! getting a page of history from the past. FrWhat Others SayJ UNPREDICTABLE MITCH FAVORED DREW AS LEADER (Ont. News Bulletin) Once again the unpredictable Mr. Hepburn has justified the ad- jective most often applied to him. Addressing a Maple Leaf Gardens audience in Sept., 1942, Mr. Hep- burn had deplored the very tnought of a waruime elecuion. -(2an you imagine,' said he, -any, provijêcial polijucian, sLrippe. o- jJower so far as war is coàteni.e., sending ballots overseas to men who are preparing to go intLo ac- tion? If 1 were a soldier 1 would mark it with a bayonet, not a pencil." Again, said Mr. Hepburn, -~When and if the time comes for me to throw the torch, I don't know anyone 1 would rather have carry it than Colonel Drew." But now Mr. Hepburn has teamed up with hîs cnocialist and Labor-Prog. comrades to block George Drew's efforts to give On- tario good government, and forces on Ontario the wartime election he deplores. Strange -bedfellows they are, but happily for Ontario, the Liberals, the Labor-Progs. and the Socialista for once ail ap- pear in a common corral, from whence they head for the country under the banner, "Power At Any Price"l. Anid Messrs. Jolliffe and Mac- Leod wiil learn like others, that politically, Mr. Hepburn must be boss. In the cold light of the post- election dawn they will recal Arthur Roebuck, David Croil, Eric Cross, Lewis Duncan, the Hepburn-King feud, and other landmarks along the Hepburn trail. They will survive in his coterie only so long as they serve the Hepburn purpose. Respect ail such as sing when ai alone!-Robert Browning. A SOLDIER'S MAIL 1 remerpber the time when a letter to me Meant no more than the pebbles that lie by the sea, The familiar tread of the post- man each day Meant nothing to me as le went on lis way. Now those days are ail gone, and I eagerly wait For the letters from home that aiways seem late. We kick and we grumble; we shout and we cuss When we get too much hard-tack or lumpy old mush, And if we are kept too long on parade, We kick and we grumble; we rant and we rave. But how eagerly and quietly we gather about When the mail truck arrives and the names are called out. "I should get one today," you'Il9 hear someone say, Or, "I've had none for weeks. Maybe one's here today." We know that we can't get one every day, But when there's no letter, we turn sadly away. The sun can be shining, the sky clear and blue, But it's still duli and cloudy if there's no mail for you. Spr. G. H. CARTER. Enniskilleri Service Club met at the home) o! Mrs. M.

New Lubricating 011 Now Made ln Canada In an interview with the States- man reporter Bill Edwards, own- er o! the B-A Service Station, King St. E., near Liberty St., stat- ed that B-A's new lubricating oul definifely proved Canada's abil- ity to stand on her own feet technically. Whereas before the war neariy ah ilubricating oils were imported, the completion of it§ big, new lubricating oil re- !inery enabled B-A, Mr. Edwards said, to supply the Canadian peo- pie with an oil made in Canada by Canadians W.hich was five years ahead o! any other lubri- cating oil on the markef. Describing the five-point Clark- son process, Mr. Edwards remark- ed that it incorporated the very latest features known to petrol- eum chemistry, including the re- markable final process which took an oil, which already was as pure and efficient as it was scientifically possible to produce, and then "alloyed" it against oxidation just as stainless steel is alloyed against rusf. In conclusion Mr. Edwards pointed out that British, Ameni- can Oil's initiative in designing and building fIs new refinery not only maferially aided the war ef- fort, but provides the best pos- sible example of fhe leadership Canadian Industry can and must maintain if we are to offer our fighting men the kind of Canada they have a right to expect. DARLINGTON COUNCIL Darlington Council was àd- d.ressed, April 7, by Mr. Duck re road ailowance between Con- cessions 3 and 4.
