In tact, befare we're through we may have something compar- ,gWle ta your husband's tavourite ýjh tale. -'tMr. Petrie-n adelegate tram University of New Brunswick, was appointed ta attend the Fish Convention held in Fredericton, N.B. According ta Mr. Petrie he was ail prepared for boring ses- sions o! tacts and figures, but ta his surprise be found the Con- vention was planned ta stimulate considerable interest. The delegates decided that bet- ter production methads were nec- essary ta f acilitate quick market- Iig, for it was the unanimaus opinion that there is nothing quite sa bad as stale fish. The coastal fisheries are planning a big ad- vertising campaîgn which they hope will educate Central Can- ada ta eat more o! this nutritiatis Coloured Wall Tile CERAMIC - PLASTIC ESTIMAiES FREE Work Guaranteed H.

Con- sumptian la even lesa in Montreal and Toronto, where the average is only 6 paunds per year. Native Maritimers snitfed skep- tically when they were told that Miss Hazel Freeman, of Dept. of Mines and Fisheries, Ottawa, was gaing ta demonstrate how ta praperly prepare and cook, sea food. It is a well knawn tact that the easterners pride themselves on their knowledge of the harvest of the sea, but Miss Freeman had a few surprises for them. During the convention they discovered that Miss Freeman, who has been with the Department for 13 years, is herselt a native o! the Maritimes, educated at Acadia University in the lovely tawn of Wolfville, N.S. This coaking expert proved what a simple thing it is ta bone haddock with a couple o! deft strokes of the knif e. She praved that sea food praperly prepared and temptingly served can tempt the moat jaded palate. Miss Free- man guarantees that you can have your husband and children positively begging for f ish - - but it ail depends on the recipe. And with that remark we pass along this one for you ta try out sometime. This is a tried and tested recipe for seaguli. Fili an iran pot with sait water.

DEAN 0F RURAL CORRESPONDENTS No weekly newspaper can get along without its rural carres- pandents. For 96 years The Statesman bas depended an the layai co-aperatian of many folk outside its regular office staff ta keep the thousanda o! faithful readers up ta date on the news of the rural districts. lI tact we are tald that the late M.

Dy Margaret Farmer OUT correspondence and therewith made it a feature li The States- mani. It Is now 45 years since our correspondent tram Maple Grave taak over the weekly task of re- cording the local happenings in that important section. Mrs. Har- ry Freeman-better known ta mast o! her acquaintances as Lola-took on this responsibility in 1905, shartly atter Fred R. Foley. the former reparter lef t for Toronto. Mrs. Freeman is an energetic littie waman-and we do mean littie for she isn't quite 5 feet tali -and chack full of enthusiasm. There just isn't anyone in Maple Grave that Mrs. Freeman doesn't know, for she bas lived in the centre of that community ail her life. During almost a haîf ceatury as correspondent she bas seen many changes, witnessed many joys and experienced a fair share o! sorraws but ber cheerful, dispq- sition has brought ber through them ail. lI addition ta raising a family of three daughters, Mrs. Freeman bas stoad by as a symbol of gen- uine neighbourliness in Maple Grave. No matter the need or the individuet yau can always depend on Lola's helping hand of triend- ship. She, with her husband, have been staunch supporters and ac- tive workers li the Maple Grave United Church. Until this year Mrs. Freeman held variaus posi- tions in the Women's arganiza- tians and for the past two years acted as President o! the Maple Grave Wamen's Missionary Sa- ciety. Mrs. Freeman seems ta be a papular persan with her 10 grand- children tao. During.the few min- utes that we sat chatting with ber as she busily îroned the weekly washing, two o! ber grandsans slipped in for a moment ta say "Hello" and ta get their daily ration o! candy. We think that Mrs. Freeman deserves ail the nicest things we can say about her-while she can enjay them. Sa hats off ta you "Lala" and thanks for a grand job well done. We're looking for- ward ta your newsy notes from Maple Grave for many more years ta came.

We wonder how many of aur maie readers-we have quite a few yau know-remember the praud day when, wrapped up in their barber's sheet, and perched in a high chair, they first heard the busy dlip-clop of the scissars, and were flot quite sure whether they liked it. Do - you remember whether tickly bits of hair went down yaur neck, or did the barber expaund his favorite palitîcal opinions? One barber has thought up a momento for this great occasion.

Editar's Note-Reading this item brought back memories when the present editor made his first visit ta the barber shop chaperoned by his devoted sister Sophie, (Mrs. James A. Phillips, now living in New Yark City). That was hovering around 60 years ago, and believe it or not, aur venerable and esteemed ton- sorial artist, Fr~ank C. Pethick, who is stili in business here was the gentleman who wielded the scissors and clippers on my curly head on that eventful occasion. "Barb", as lie is affectionately called by bis many friends, was then serving his apprenticeship with his father, the late W. E. Pethick. The shop was located at the corner of King and Sîlver Sts. where Ted Woodyard's Electrical Shop is now located.-G.W.J. And here's aur bit of poetry for the day: FEBRUARY The fields are bedded down with snow, Like blankets tucked about their cars, As if the world had gone ta sleep, But now and then a bush ap- pears, Wearing a crown o! purest gems., With scarlet bernies on white stems. The windbreak running ta the lake Ras snowy trunks like silver birch. Even the weeds have hoods of snow, Like %quaint aid women, in a church. 3 teaspoans baking pawder 1 teaspoon sait 4 shredded wheat biscuits, finely rolled 12 cup cbopped nuts 3/ cup milk 2 tabiespoans melted shortening Combine sugar, marmalade or corn syrup, eggs and vanilla; beat well.

Edna Jaques Now Womcrn Cornes Into Her Own By Joseph Lister Rutledge Running through some casual papers-items that we had set aside as something to be looked inta at a more convenient date- jwe came upon one that was styl- ed "Woman and Wealth". We mightn't have noticed it butthat, also staring us in the face, was a petulant quotation from a recent book to the effeet that "the Bible lis the only literature in the world, up to our own century, whîch looks at woman as a human be- ing, no better and no worse than men." That seemed ta suggest that in their fortunes, women were still at a rather low ebb, and that in turn sent us back ta the item on "Women and Wealth." We were therefore qu ite un- prepared for the impressive ar- ray of figures attesting that, in 1Canada at least, and despite any supposed handicap of masculine superiarity, women as a 'whole had done very well fdr them- selves-that indeed any remain- ing sense of superiority could re- main only in the more addled of masculine minds. We must add that the figures, which are a littie bit dated, would only be augmented by the facts of the passing hours and that they had behind them the authority of a great Canadian insurance cam- pany. "Canadian Women" said the ar- ticle, "control Canada's largest single industry-the great indus- try of housekeeping." To most of us that calis up a picture of duster and broom, or their modern caun- terparts. But that is just the iast f aint wiggle of that departing sense of superiority. For the ar- ticle hurries to explain that the housekeeping industry is the equivalent of any five of our lead- ing industries, in point of invest- ment invalved, or people em- ployed, or of annual expenditures. It involves the stili more striking fact that Canadian women con- trai 401,, of Canada's wealth and more than haîf of its buying pow- er, while they actually spend 75 % of ail its income. It is also a fact that wamen com- prise the majorîty of corporation stockholders. They awn 60 % of savings bank depasits, and how- ever xnuch the lord and master may preen himself, the sober fact is that he is putty in the hands of some "littie waman". Is that prav- able?

As for her own astuteness, let it be remembered that, some littie time ago, when conditions were somewhat less favorable than they are today she had an invest-1 rment in first mortgages on city, town and farmn properties of over threc hundred million dollars. Ahl of which adds up to the sober re- flection that in any planning for the futu're, in any consideration of our long-time sccurity we should neyer overlook the power of a woman.

United lounies Consulfative Comme To He1p Raidie School Areas The Counties' Coundil of North- umberland and Durham set up a Consultative Committee at'the ses- sion held in June 1946. The dut- les o! this committee are mainly ta attempt ta have these counties divided into High School Districts. Since this cammittee was formed it has caused many public meet- ings ta be held in varlous parts of these counties for the purpose o! bringing befare ail the ratepay- ers the tacts relating to Htgh School Districts. Same progress has been made. Three High School Districts have been organized and put inta aper- ation in Northumberland County by the Counties' Council. One of these areas is at present receiving careful study by the members a! the Council. Part o! the Township of Cavan in Durham County and South Managhan Township in Northumberland County have been joined ta the Peterborough High Sehool District. Hastings Village and S.S. No. 9 Perey Township have been joined ta the Norwood High Schaol District. The present members af the Consultative Committee are Ted Waadyard, reeve of Clarke Town- ship, chairman, Ralph Locke, reeve of Campbellford, Leonard Gardon, clerk o! Coîborne, G. L. Duffin, Department o! Educa- tion, Toronto, W. H. Carlton, Ca- bourg, Associate Secretary, T. R. McEwen, Oshawa, Associate Sec- retary, A. A. Martin, Brighton, secretary. At a recent meeting it was de- cided ta affer the services of the comù-ittee ta each municipality and school board in the counties that might desire its help. The cammittee members have no in- tention of trying ta force their will on any area. They desire only to bring the tacts to the people and then leave the decision to, them. Councils, school boards or other interested groups who de- sire Information or assistance li connection with a Higli School District are asked ta get li touch with the secretary.
