That was the keynote of an ad- dress by E. B.

The annual meeting and supper was held in the St. Law- rence Hotel, Port Hope, last week. Mr. Joîiffe was one of the se- lect commitee of M.P.P.'s who nmade an intensive survey and theni reported to Queen's Park on con-i servation in Ontario. He praised the work already done on the Ganaraska forest- planted to prevent erosion and1 floods-in the area drained by the Ganaraska River. "You have done something very positive and constructive," he said.

W/e Believe: That a Home and School Associ- ation shouhd be concerned with ahi problems that relate to the welfare of the chiid in the home, school and community. That its great object should be to interest ail peophe in ahi chu.- dren and to link in common pur- pose the home. the school and other educative forces in the life of the chihd, to work for bis highest good. That it should earn first hand ail school conditions and ahi town conditions affecting the child. That it should encourage ahi in- fluences and conditions which will ensure the growth and safety of the chiid. That it shoiild work actively to supply the school and commun- ity needs by creating public sen- timent whicli w'ihl favour and provide good teachers. good schooh equipmnent and adequate recrea- tion for lqéýsure time. That it shouhd give service to, the home by training for parent- hood and omemaking and to thej Hello Homemakers! Early Oc- tober days bring more vegetables to the table. Why not top each serving of hash with top hats of a wide strip of fried green pep- tper and a boiled onion. Ever try ;a serving of cubed corned beef tin a cabbage leaf; roll it up, place in a casserole and cover with slic- ed tomatoes which you season with a bay leaf and saît and pepper. Then bake the supper dish for forty minutes in a mod- erate oven. A meatless meal may be: Fried slices of green to- matoes, boiled cauliflower and scrambled eggs seasoned wlth summer savoury. Fresh boiled potatoes are perennial favourites at the family table for every sup- per or dinner. To prepare on the spur of the moment, scrub, peel a' ring around each potato and boil in a small amount of hot water.for 25 minutes. Ideas for October desserts are numerous. To list a few should remind you of the variety you may serve: Canteloupe, water- melon, squash pie, applesauce, jelly rol., upsidedown peach cake, stewed minted pears, pumpkin custard, stewed plums on ginger- bread, stewed grapes on cottage. pudding, fruit juicq snow, coddled apples and fruit cup. TAKE A TIP 1. For flavour and colour var- iety add cinnamon or mint ex- tract with red or green food col- ouring to sweet pickled pears or apple jelly. 2. To prevent crystals in grape jelly. let the juice stand over- night. Then pour off the juice carefully so as not to disturb sediment in the bottom that may cause crystals; now make clear grape jelly. 3. For a quîck topping to a casserole dish, crush potato chips in their own bag and sprinkle over the meat or vegetables. 4. To keep a fresh layer cake from slipping as you cut it, in- sert coloured knitting needies through the cake in several places.
