RED CROSS NUTRITION NEWS CEREALS FOR DESSERT Mother is the family dietitian and >n this important role she is responsible for prescribing the daily food jieeds of each family member. As every dietitian knows, the whole grain cereals should form a staple part of every family dietary, for besides being home-grown Canadian products, they are thrifty sources of energy, and contain a fair amount of vegetable pro iein which is a valuable supplement to the animal proteins contained in ;meat, fish, poultry, eggs, milk and cheese. Proteins are vital for building young body tissues and keeping them in good repair and with the recent rationing of meat, cereal proteins will be playing a fuller part. For safe keeping, all cereals should be stored in tightly covered containers in a cool dry place, safe from insects. Glass sealers are ideal for storing bulk cereals. Packaged cereals may be stored tightly covered in their own containers. Whole grain flour and meals containing germ, and any prepared flours containing fat, and wheat germ should be kept in a cold, dark place to prevent rancidity. Wheat germ, one of the best purveyors of thiamine, is sold in bulk by many milling companies or may be procured at the corner grocer's. The breakfast cereal is the most popular spot for a sprinkling of wheat germ, but it goes equally well in a muffin or waffle batter, cookie or bread dough and a score of other tasty morsels. Rolled oats is another versatile grain product with a scope far beyond the breakfast porridge. It fits iastefully into meat loaves, casseroie dishes, poultry stuffings, all manner of breads, cakes and cookies and a horde of delicious dessert variations. Dessert is intended to round out a meal and undeniably will when it's oatmeal apple crumble. Fruit Crumble 4 c. sliced apples or other fruit 2 or 3 tablespoons sugar 2 tablespoons mild flavoured fat a/4 cup brown sugar % cup sifted all-purpose flou< % cup quick-cooking rolled oats Place fruit in greased baking dish and sprinkle with sugar.

CHICAGO ADMITS MONTREAL AHEAD Montreal, Que., Sept. 11--From the city claiming as its own the title of "world's greatest railroad centre' comes praise for Montreal's railway facilities. A Chicago daily newspaper recently carried an article, written in Montreal by one of its reporters, lauding the reversible escalators in use at the Canadian National Railways' Central Station and later made comparison with the Chicago stations in an editorial. "Chicago's railroad terminals," it said, "with their outmoded accommodations which cause discomfort to the passengers, are out of key with the times. None of them at present provides escalator service." The usefulness of the Central Station escalators was recognized a few days ago by a Montrealer who was accompanying his invalid mother to board a train for the Laurentians. He was concerned about his mother having to struggle down the stairs leading tc the tracks. However, before an attempt could be made, the problem was solved by two station employees who cleared an ascending escalator of people and assisted the lady to it. Then the escalator was reversed and she was escorted down to the train. The incident so impressed the gentleman that he has written to the C.N.R. praising the performance of the two employees. Many airmen who trained under the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan formed permanent ties with Canada. More than 3,750 members of the R.A.F., the R.A.A.F., the R.N.Z.A.F. and allied nationals under R.A.F. quota married Canadian girls Black market is any transaction which by-passes the regular channels x f distribution for the benefit of a few greedy individuals. HISTORICAL SUMMARY OF H. AND P. E. REGT. Canadian Army--1939-1945 The Hastings and Prince Edward Regiment was formed December 1st, 1920, by amalgamation of the 16th Prince Edward Regiment and the 49th Regiment (Hastings Rifles), and takes precedence in the Infantry arm from date of organization of its senior constituent unit, originally the 16th Battalion Volunteer Militia, raised February 6th, 1863, and designated May 8th, 1900; the 16th Prince Edward Regiment. The junior component was raised September 14th, 1866, as the 49th Hastings Battalion of Infantry; it was changed April 6th, 1871, to the 49th Hastings Battalion of Rifles, and on May 8th, 1900, to the 49th Regiment, Hastings Rifles. In the North West Rebellion, 1885, the 49th supplied a company to the composite unit known as the Midland Battalion. Both the 16th and 49th Regiments contributed personnel to the Canadian Contingents which served in South Africa. In the Great War of 1914-1918 both regiments recruited for the 2nd, 21st, , 77th, 80th, 155th and 254th Battalions, C.E.F., three of which (the 39th, 80th and 254th) are perpetuated by the continuing Regiment, which was awarded the following Battle Honours: "Mount Sorrel," "Somme, 1916," "Arras, 1917," "Hill 70," "Ypres, 1917," "Amiens," "Hindenburg Line," "Pursuit to Mons." In November, 1934, the Hastings and Prince Edward Regiment became allied with the Royal Sussex Regiment, whose first battalion took part in the capture of Louisburg and Quebec. At the latter memorable battle the British regiment captured the standard of the 54th Royal Rous-sillon Regiment and for forty years thereafter commemorated that event by wearing the Roussillon plume in its headdress. Since 1799 the plume, (ostrich feather) has been embodied in the regimental badge. Living up to its motto--Paratus-- the Hastings and Prince Edward Regiment was one of the first units called out for active service in September, 1939. It mobilized at Picton and embarked for the United Kingdom on December 22nd, 1939, with the 1st Canadian Infantry Division, disembarking December 31st. New Year's Day, 1940, found them settling into their quarters in Maida Barracks, Aldershot Command. For many months the unit stood in one of the key positions ready to strike at the invader should he land in Britain. The long-awaited D-Day arrived on July 10th, 1943, when the 1st Canadian Infantry Division landed at Pachino, Sicily. Driving forward through rough terrain, the Hastings and Prince Edward Regiment have reason to remember the actions that attended the stiff fighting at Regal-buto, Nissoria and Assoro, to mention only a few engagements in the Division's 38-day campaign. With the Sicilian campaign behind them, the Hastings and Prince Edward Regiment landed on the Italian mainland near Reggio on the 3rd of September. Two grim marches stand out in the first days of the Italian campaign -- the arduous marches to Aspromonte and Campo-basso. On high ground- overlooking Campobasso, the unit withstood two savage German counter-attacks, which enabled the Royal Canadian Regiment to enter the town itself on October 14th. The town of Molise, the Sangrio and Moro Rivers, the Liri Valley, the Hitler Line, the Gothic Line--all these are names that will remain brilliant pages in the unit's history. The Ronco River, the Lamone River Bridgehead, Naviglio Canal and the Senio Winter Line are additional engagements in which the Hastings and Prince Edward Regiment participated, as well as that of the Ijssel River Crossing.

CANADA'S GREATEST VICTORY LOAN STARTS OCTOBER 22ND. The Ninth Victory Loan opens October 22nd. It will be Canada's Greatest Victory Loan because it aims to cover Canada's borrowing needs for the next twelve months. Up to now, each new Victory Loan aimed to cover needs for only six months. The Ninth Loan will really be two loans in one. A large loan now, instead of two smaller loans (one now and another in the spring of 1946, means a real saving in time, effort and ex-; pense. "It is posible to aim for a fullj year's needs in one loan because Canada's borrowing requirements over the next twelve months will not be as lagre as they have been in recent years," states Hon. J. L. Ilsley, Minister of Finance. Hon. Mr. Ilsley points out that the end of hostilities means the end of many war costs. However, total out-; lays and requirements continue at high levels. The Minister's statement continues "Men in hundreds of thousands must be brought back from overseas. This will take time. Meanwhile, they must be paid, fed, housed and cared for in a hundred different ways. This all costs money--large amounts of it". Heavy outlays arise from the care of the sick and wounded, war service gratuities and re-establishment credits. These and other rehabilitation outlays involve hundreds of millions of dollars. The Minister's statement also points out that Canada is lending money to countries in war areas to help them buy supplies in Canada. The purchase of these supplies will naturally help Canadian production and labor. Preparations for the Ninth Victory Loan have already commenced in Northumberland County. The Objectives will be the largest in Victory Loan history. THE WAR AMPUTATIONS OF CANADA i appeal for funds with which to build and maintain a health, training and recreation centre for War Amputation cases will be launched by the Toronto Branch of the War Amputations of Canada on November 17th and will continue to December 1st, it has just been announced by Robert Wilson, chairman of the building committee. 'Our association is pledged to serve the Amputation cases returning from Europe and the Pacific to the utmost," Mr. Wilson said. "We are determined to provide essential health, training and recreational facilities for whlcn present premises and capacities totally inadequate. They cannot reasonably be provided by any other agency, yet our more than 25 years' experience shows them to be necessary for the complete welfare of men __se war disablement will be with them every minute of their lives. Our Toronto Branch, in addition to housing the registered Dominion Headquarters of the Association, ____es the whole of Central and Northern Ontario and local membership comprises roughly one-third of all the amps in Canada. The objective of our campaign for building and future maintenance is $500,000.00." Formed back in 1919, the War Amputations of Canada is a unique organization. The members are bound together by a common bond, having lost a limb, limbs or complete eyesight while serving in the Canadian Allied Forces in all wars in whicn Canada has been engaged. Only once before, in May 1920, has this association made a public appeal for funds, a tag day being held at that time. The proceeds formed the nucleus of the Trust Fund administered to safeguard and guarantee efficient administration of future as well as past financial undertakings. Further details of the new project and its purposes will be released in near future.

Our Verse-- "Take up thy cross and follow Christ Nor think till death to lay it down For only he who bears the cross May hope to wear the victor's C. Everest. Our Sermon-- "Any one," writes Tagore, "can start to work, but only the faithful will carry on." How true it is, and how many there are even in our own day to whom the apostle could write, as he did those of his own time, "Ye did run well--what did hinder you?" Perhaps there is nothing that as Christians, have more need of in these discouraging times than a new endowment of staying power. It is so easy to peter out, to faint by the way, to give up in despair. Long ago a preacher in an English chapel prayed for his people that God would give them "the grace to carry on when they could not believe that it was worth. while to do so." We might ask less worthy things than that for ourselves. How many people one meets who belong to the ranks of those who just gave up. They started out well, but they were hindered, they used to go to church, they once took part in the work of the kingdom, but--now, they have fallen out by the way. God give to us each anew the restoring power of His spirit, in the enduring con-sciousnes of which, we may cry, "Surely my Master may depend on me Though but an armour bearer I may be." Our Prayer-- Oh Thou our Leader and our Lord, give us of Thy spirit we pray that we may be faithful even unto the end of the conflict and share with Thee the glory of the conqueror's crown. --Amen.
