Hello, Homemakers! It has been my great pi easure to speak at the Ontario Agricultural So- cieties' Convention this week. I was well received and had a very enjayable time. The members of the convention are formulating new detailed plans for the com- mng year. They are creating an interest in 'teen-agers to pride themselves in exhibiting prize products at county fairs. Prize products, whether they are in your garden, on your table or at the exhibition, are a credit to your community. It's not the biggest pumpkin that's best, nor the largest pie that's perfect, but even colour, standard shape and good quality win the Blue Rib- bon, Winning exhibitors are award- ed tangible prizes. In the home we can win awards, too-the good health of our family and the "gol- den" words of praise from our guests. Therefore, exhibit on your table a custard that is flot curdled, acake that is not soggy, biscuits tat are not burnt, by always working for a prize. One of the essentials is to know your range and observe the cor- rect temperatures. If the oven has a worn indicator you may be able to purchase an aven-test thermometer that should be kept on the rack while baking. Oven Temperature 425 Deg. F. 1. Tea biscuits, scones. 2. Baked fruit rolîs (tea biscuit dough), Dutch apple cake, coffee cake. i~3. Oven steamed vegetables, scalloped tomatoes on a high shelf. 4. Baked potatoes (medium- size 50 minutes)-high sheif. Oven Temperature 400 Deg. F. 1. Muffins, refrigerator roîls. 2. Fruit cobblers. 3. Sausages, meat balîs in sauce 4. Oven - steamed vegetables, scalloped tomatoes, pepper squash (covered part Urne). 5. Baked potatoes (medium- size (1 hour). Oven Temperature 350 Deg. F. 1. Plain cakes, cornbread,' gin- gerbread, upside down cakes, ap- pie betty, apple crisp, hermits, fruit bars, quick loaf breads. 2. Baked apples. 3. Meat casseroles, roast beef, roast lamb, baked pot roasts, braised meats of all kinds. 4. Scalloped potatoes, leftover vegetables (cavered to reheat). 5.

The average oven has ac- commodation for at least two or three dishes at once. It is neces- sary, however, to select dishes which need the same temperature. A good way ta do this is to list your favorite dishes, quick breads, vegetables and desserts under the temperatures at which each should be cooked. 2. Oven companions do not necessarily have ta be table com- panions. A dessert for next day's lunch (custard, baked fruit, etc.) or even oven-poached cereal for the next morning. 3. Select baking dishes to fit the aven racks. Do not use large roast pans if smaller one will do. 4. Do not have foods on lower shelf directly under those on top. This prevents foods from brown- ing on top. Anne Allan inviter, you ta write ta her c/o Canadian Statesman. Send in your suggestions on home- making problems and watch this column for replies.

RENT LIVING SPACE TO VETERANS! Now that winter is here veterans ail over Canada are seeking accommodation for themselves and their families, while many homes have unoccupied space that would satisfactorily fi their needs. In this time of emergency, the goodwill of citizens who have such space can assist greatly in providing family accommo- dation for these young Canadians who ensured our freedomn on battie fields 'ail over the world. Here are the things you can do to assist Canada's veterals 1.' Advertise your available accommoda- tion in the newspapers. 2. List your space with your local branch of the Canadian Legion or other veterans' organizations, or Iist it with a reail estate agent. By doing this, you will assist in the rehabilitation of service men and you will receive regularly a fair rentai. for your premises. LANDLORDS! LANDLADIES 1 Ail who regularly rent apartments, rooms and other accommodations'are also asked to co-operate in this housing emergency. Give veterans and their families consideration BECAUSE TCHEY DESERVE IT! A PATRIOTIC APPEAL Because our fighting men volunteered for overseas duty and risked their lives to protect your home and your business, you have neyer been forced to billet troops or civilians either. Even now there is no com- pulsion. This is purely an appeal on the basis of patri- otism and gratitude. Won't you help? If you flave space which you can make available, fist it wlth the Citizena' Rehablitation Commttee, or the local branch of the Canadian Leglon; advertlse t En the newspa pers or lEst t wlth a roui estate agent.

Re Temperance "Resolved that the Minister of Finance be requested forthwith to increase Canadian taxes on bey- erage alcohol, and particularly on beer." "'That the Provincial Treasirrer of Ontario Ïbe urged to add sub- stantially to the levy on beer, and thus.reduce the consumption, and sa counteract present pressures to increase the number and kind of beer outlets."

The report deplored the display of scenes af drinking and crimin- ai lawlessness, and urged par- ents ta exercise a more careful discrimination in the pictures they allow their children to see.
