The family tree of the vegetable kingdom with its many edible branches, is a matter for the biologist and far beyond the scope of this column. Nevertheless, since food is the topic, today's article will briefly touch on one strain of plant royalty commonly used as food. » If Mother Nature could confer titled honours on her subjects, the vegetables, those deserving diet mainstays, would stand high on Her honours list. Their precious stores of minerals and vitamins give them prominence as diet staples. The root vegetables, though of seemingly low estate, are celebrities among the vegetables. Roots are the storage cells of plants and have a high starch content which makes them good energy foods. Besides this, they have a good mineral and vitamin reserve and store well throughout the winter months. Orange carrots, rosy beets, creamy parsnips, sturdy potatoes and turnips, the most familiar storage roots, lend themselves to a multitude of tasty preparations. The easiest way to season them plain-cooked is to add salt and pepper to taste, and a little meat drippings or melted fat just before serving. The addition at the last minute of a little milk on cooked carrots, turnips or onions appeals to some folks while others like a little vinegar or lemon juice for a pleasantly sour note on carrots, beets or turnips. And then there are the sauces-- savoury, creamy and nippy. They add a dash of flavour and an extra spot of nutrition to any dinner setting, and made with milk or cheese they aptly suit the occasion on a low meat day. Tender-sweet beets make •ful splasfc b&Athe vegetable platter, and surely Mr the spot in a smooth, tangy sauce: Harvard Beets 1 tablespoon cornstarch or 2 tablespoons flour 2 to 4 tablespoons sugar 1-2 teaspoon salt Vi cup vinegar Vi cup water 2 tablespoons fat 4 cups cooked beets, diced Mix cornstarch or flour, sugar and salt. Add vinegar and water and boil 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Add the fat and beets, and let stand until the sauce becomes red. Reheat if necessary.

(Wartime Prices and Trade Board definition:--A "snaffleworm", one who snaffles, snares, wangles otherwise acquires more than his fair share of rationed goods by illegal ^#*w£thods and hence is a WORM--the lowest living creature.) I'm just a slimy snaffleworm, A mean and hateful thing, I thrive on goods in short supply And discontent I bring. Not satisfied to get my share I try to wangle more And sneer at honest citizens Who stay within the law. The nation's needs I snigger at, In selfishness I crawl And anything that's hard to get I try and grab it all. Black markets are my feeding grounds It's there I leer and lurk That's why they call me snaffleworm, A dirty piece of work! --Ronald Kenvyn.

The groom-to-be, Lieut. F. W. Deacon, was able to be there for a few hours and assisted at the opening of the many lovely gifts and also thanked all those present for their kindness.

At 7 p.m. EDT Prime Minister Atlee stepped to the BBC microphone to declare triumphantly "The last of our enemies is laid low." At the same hour President Truman, at a press conference in the White House, announced that Japan had accepted Allied surrender terms, ending the second Great War, while the Moscow radio also broadcast the glad tidings. For Britain the war has lasted almost six years, and for the United States about one year less. While we are all joyful over Victory, we bow reverently in remembrance of the brave young men and women who sacrificed their lives that we might live in Peace. Let us not forget the great price they have paid and forever strive to make this a "world of peace and happiness for all. V-J DAY IN COLBORNE Although there was some celebrating done in spite of the heavy rain Tuesday night, when the fire truck, sounding the siren; Colborne Garage tow truck and numerous cars, all blowing their horns, drove around the village, the scheduled program commenced Wednesday morning at 10.00 when veterans of this and the last war, members of the Legion, Ladies' Auxiliary and Municipal Officials lined up at the town hall and marched to the United Church for service at 10.30 o'clock. This united service of Thanksgiving to God for Victory and Peace was well attended. Rev. G. D. Campbell was in charge. Rev. H. L. Kennedy led in the Scripture responses. Rev. R. E.

The celebration nearly always means plenty to eat for all, with festoons and decorations and a gala atmosphere. Wartime Prices and Trade Board suggests that since rationed foods cannot be freed because of the tight supply and the necessity of looking after all the men returning, the best way of collecting sufficient food stocks for the big event is to have all those concerned chip in and use their ration books for that particular week. The event is patriotic--and that's a patriotic way of making it a success! A Column For Service People (By William Stephenson) A couple of weeks ago we put out a list of terms which are used day after day by rehabilitation officials, to describe what is being done for returning veterans. The definitions of these terms were as simple as we could make them. Several readers have written in asking that this series be continued, so here goes: Vocational Training Although many veterans will be able to get back on their feet in civil life with only the knowledge and skill they already possess many others will need refresher courses to renew skills which have become rusty. Others will need training for new trades and vocations. If the Veterans" Affairs officials decide that a veteran's re-establishment will be directly assisted by training, and the veteran himself is adapted for the propose course, they will authorize training for him either in a school or "on the job". In the former case any fees are paid and he receives an appropriate maintenance grant under the Post Discharge Re-establishment Order. If training is "on the job" he is placed with a company working in the field he has chosen and training is carried on under contractual arrangement. In this case he rs treated as a normal employee and receives a salary directly from the employer, but part of that salary is a grant from the government. As his knowledge and skill increases the employer pays a greater portion of his salary until his training is completed, at which time he becomes a full-fledged employee. Training is usually limited to a year but can be extended if necessary-University Training If the veteran interrupted his education to enlist or if university training will directly assist him to re-establish himself, such training may be authorized on the basis of a month in university for each month of service, providing of course that he can obtain admittance to university. In exceptional cases where the veteran shows outstanding ability an additional period may be authorized beyond the period covered by his service. All fees for such training are paid and an appropriate maintenance grant is authorized for himself and his dependents. Normally university training must be taken in Canada. Awaiting Return Benefits Are available to veterans who go into business or farming on then-own account, during the initial period while they are awaiting returns from their enterprises. The grants are uf» to $50 per month for a single person and up to $70 for a man and his wife with allowances for dependents. It is really a living allowance to enable the veteran to support his family while waiting for crops to mature or a business to establish itself.
