UDA'Y, ~'LTLY met, lue TEE CANADIAN STATESItAN, EOWMANV!LLN, ONTA~O PAGE ~WI TEACHER SHOWS REAL HUMAN INTEREST FOR H ER PUPILS After a long school year of rau- Uine teachi;ng a teacher usually looks forward ta 2 wonderful months of vacation away from the worrles of the schoolroam and the iisclievous pupils whose only sm. seemns ta be te make their achoolinarni miserable. It is bard to keep in mmmd that these young- uters are individuals who can ad- vance from the ole cf students le that of frîends. Tbis advance- ('ment rests in the hands of the tea- Sher. An outstanding school report appeared in last week's States- enan that revealed that there is one teacher in this district wbo bas really taken a persanal interest ini lber pupils and is not afraid ta let tbemn know. Mrs. Florence Gilbert who taught at Baker's Scbool, S.S. No. 18, Darlington, ended ber school report with the followîng goad wishes, "Happy holidays boys and girls! You've been grand ta work with and I arn proud of you. I shall watch your future achievements with a great deal of pride and affection. Thanks a mil- lion for everything! Your teacher dnd always your friend." From these womds it is not bard ta surmise that Mrs. Gilbert bas proved berseif as the kind of tea- cher who bas given ber pupils niucb more than an academic ipdu- cation. f -N - 1 RENOWNED PIANIST VISITS HOME TOWN A fine program was presented at the July meeting of Maple Grave Women's Institute underl the leadership cf citizenship con- vener Mrs. Ray Metcalf. Miss Susie Laird spoke on the motta of the program "Serve Yaur Community and know your Neigb- bars". The standards set by the home, the school and the church will be the standard of the com- munity. Our homes and churcb must be the best and we must stand bebind aur schools for wbat is best. A community tbirty miles fmom Tomanto proves what can happen wbere there is no church life. The last sentence in aur W.I. creed "0' Lord let us net forget ta be kind" must nat be forgatten in knowing aur neigbbors. Mrs. Stephen Jeffery read a beautiful poemn "Little Things" those things which thaugh casting nothing make life ricb. Af ter community singing Mrs. Lawrence White and Mrs. Roy VanCamp created much merri- ment with tbe vocal duet "Buttons and Bows", bows being much in evidence, this sang called for ana- ther -'You are my Sunshine." Mrs. C. Daw af Hampton, a resi- dent of Saskatchewan during drought years, spoke on Canadian citizensbip wben East and West met in a time of diatress. Mms. Daw reviewed the history of the Sask. prairies from the days of Govern- ment propaganda bringing home- steaders te open Up what became the bread basket of the world, wbeat miners were richly reward- ed from the finest wheat in the world; tbe bard nortbern Cana- dian wheat. Though prairie life was lonely and bard the settiers came ta lave it and wben adverse times came many endured drought, bail, fmost and gasshappers year after year with faitli in the land ta one day again provide. Bef are that day arrived citizen& of Canada from the Maritimes te British Columbia witb aid from the Gav't. in sbip- ping poured inte Saskatchewan fish, fruit, vegetables and clatbing. Thus Canadians knew mare of their country and served each oth- er as loyal citizens. Miss Susie Laird expressed the tbanks for the members and paid a fine tribute te Mrs. Daw. During the business period Mrs. Stuart Morton in the absence cf Mrs. Coverley, leader cf the Girls Home-Making Club, reported on the Achievement Day held at Oro- no, four girls campleted the course each receiving a silver spoan and Evelyn Finney and Mary Snaw- den eceived certificates for cern- pleting two courses. Their very fine poster was on display. Mrs. W. H. Brown gave high- ligbts of the District Annual meet- ing. One item ta consider was ta make use of wbat is rigbt at hand. We may aften averlook duties as well as privileges on aur door steps, 50 te speak. It was decided ta purchase loose leaf scrap bocks for the use of the greups.

A general discussion followed the reading of a resolutian by Mrs. L. C. Snowcien regarding road-side dumping. The resolution is to be re-written since more areas were reported affected. Mrs. Metcalfe and group served lunch and a social boum was en- joyed. 23 present.

He is very interested in the music cf contem- porary composers and bas reached great heights of faine in bis con- certs featuring this music.

Answer: The scalding must be done in rapidly boiling water for exactiy one minute per quart. If this is not done, the enzyme ac- tion does flot stop sugar changing ta starch. Mrs. B. C. asks: Why do some yellow beans turn brown on top of a frozen package?f Answer: Air should be exclud- ed, if possiblf -omn packaged vegetables. "A brine solution ta caver" avoids discoloration.

Answer: Yes It takes more space in storage bowevem Per- hap- you could do some of bth- niblets and cob corn Mrs. J. F. asks: Can you freeze fresb cucumber successfully? Answer: We believe the best method of using cucumnbers is in pickling, unless you like peeled cucumbers as a cooked vegetable. Mrs. F. R. asks: How much water should be used for blanch- ing? Answer: The quantity of ve- getable should be small enough s0 that the water returns ta boiling in one minute or less, depending on width of kettle. Then, too, we recommend blanching one quart or two pounds of vegetable immersed in about three quarts of water. Mis, W. H. asks: What do you do if ice forms at the corners of the home freezer?# Answer: Remove as many packages as possible, disconnect freezer, defrost as quickiy as pos- sible, using warmn water ta loosen ice, then return packages ta dry freezer within the bour and start freezer immediately.

One of Canada's most important dealers dlaims that Canadian bus- iness has done much to stimulate this.growing interest ini art. Bus- iness took art out of museums and put it front of the public. Some companies collect works of art. A fine painting in an executive's office adds distinction and reveals something of the o.wner's persan- ality. Art znay seem far removed frem the housing situation but the favourite size, 16 by 22 inches, reflects the fact that we live today in smaller quartrs and cannot find room for the larger canvasses with which the Victorians decor- ated their wide walls and spaciaus rooms. r-N-T THEATRE GUIILD CAMP TO BE HELD IN COBOURG The world of drama is making its debut in this vicinity with the formation of a Canadian National Theatre Guild in Cobourg, spon- sored by Mrs. Bertha Bright Knapp and operated at Camp Co- bourg.

Colour, flaveur and nutritive values are retained to a high degree in fr.eezing, if a recomniended var- iety is selected and properly handled. Blanching vegetables must be accurately timeed ta pre- vent loss of nutritive value. Step by step preparation for freezing: 1. Clean, sort and preparé vege- tables as for table use. Sort te size and cut pieces inta inch lengths to fit container. 2. Scalding is a must. Place a wire sieve or dlean fry basket containing about one pound of vegetable in boiling watem, ca- ver and leave twa minutes. Caunt scalding time from the moment the lid is replaced. 3. Chili vegetable immediately with ice water. Allow 2 ta 4 minutes depending on size. Drain caefully then spread on dlean towel. 4. Pack carefully in a pack~age suîted ta the size of your family. A pint carton will yield 3 or 4 servings. Leave 1/à-inch space for expansion during freezing. Caver ta top of vegetable with 2 per cent cold brine. (à tsp. saît per cup of water.) Two quarts of brine is sufficient ta fi twenty une-poundboxes. You may sprinkie an dry sait, using one teaspoon for each pint box. 5. Press the liner or bag ta force the air out, then fold over and close the carton and label it. Keep packaged vegetables in your refrigerator until they are all ready. Then take them ta the iocker, or place them in the home freezer along the aide of the unit. Transfer home frozen boxes ta starage compartment the follow- ing day. Make notes in a record book of the number of cartons of each vegetable. Boxes are specially made for quick freezing and protection of flavour. Tbey are economical, too. To cook frozen vegetables, place the unwrapped block in a pan with a amaîl amount of bail- ing water. The coaking period starts Wben the vegetabies begin biling-then allow five minutes lesa than when fresh, since tbey bave been blancbed previously.

Overcoming great itazards, rail- road men pushed across the prairies adfoothilîs, through rugged moutain passes-then on to the Pacific coust.
