TOO MUCH WAITING ABOUT Students of Canadian history have been impressed of late by the thought that many present diffi- culties would disappear if young yeople were prepared to face pioneer I conditicns and make a way for themselves as earlier generations did in this country. There is too great a tendency to wait for gov- ernments or organizations to create favorable opportunities, and too much dependence upon services and conveniences and environment which exist only because of the toil which others performed m:hy years ago.-- Woodstock Sentinel-Review. * * * CALGARY LOOKING UP Reports from Calgary's city tax collector as to payments made on . 1985 taxes are particularly gratify- ing.

E. A. McPher- son, K.C., provincial treasurer. The Province of Manitoba has for some time been operating on a cash basis, and this means that actual cash re- =a, ceipts of the treasury for the year "were $14,383,862, as against expendi- tures of "$14,224,427. This computation takes no account of the two and one half million spent on relief during the year, al- though. it- does include carrying charges on all relief borrowings, as woll as $39,000 sinking fund on a debenture issue made for relief pur- poses. These results are not spectacular, but they do represent a real turn- ing-point in the fiscal affairs of the province.--Winnipeg Tribune. « % !

CL ---- Eigen) SERVANT GIRLS' UNION Exploitation of servant girls by some Winnipeg housewives has had its natural result, A group of the girl§ have formed a union in an attempt to establish something like a reasonable standard of pay and conditions for this type of employ- ment. A minimum wage of $12 a month for anything more than nurse-maid work can hardly be called unrea- sonable, and the contention that something less than 16 hours should be regarded as a fair day's work is, to say the least, moderate, Some housewives seem to with remarkable persistency to the jdea that whatever they pay the servant girl is charity. A better name for it is the one Trader Horn gave it -- "Black philanthropy, madam, plain black philanthropy!"

THE EMPIRE HISTORY The British got their first lesson in civilization from the Romans. They were then conquered by the English, and these in turn were conquered by the Normans. Out of the three re- sulted a nation which later accepted the King of Scotland for its mon- arch. His family was in the same century dethroned by a Dutchman who arrived with a fleet of 500 sail, 14,000 men, and finding the English nobility on his side, was soon "in London, resistance in Scotland and Ireland being subdued later, In the face of the facts of history to sug- gest that the British nation has made itself is lamentably like non- sense. To suggest that India is making itself a nation without the co-operation of the British seems no less inappropriate.--Calcutta States- man. * % % EMPIRE AIR ROUTES Air and Empire are closely lined. The most valuable bonds in any empire are its communications. The Roman knew that. Their roads were veins for their empire's life-blood. But the speed of modern transport has made communications ten times more valuable, If Britons and Americans 'could have used air- planes to exchange their views in 1776, America might never have left the Empire.

The plan i3 to bonus farm. ers sending their milk to cheese tfact- orles, the first payments to be made the first week in August covering the July production, In making the announcement, Hon, Robert Weir, Min'ster of Agriculture, sala pay- ments would be based on one and one half cents per pound for the cheese produced. They will increase the far- mer's returns trom the chee .e fact. ories between 20 and 26 per cent. Checks will be made out by the sec. retaries of the 'factories drawn on money advanced by the government. As long as Canadian butter produc. tion does not exceed the domestic de- mand Canadian prices are somewhat above world prices. Cheese, however, is always sold on a world price bacis. This situation tended 'to encourage farmers to shift from cheese produc- tion to butter making. The end would have been that butter production would exceed domestic demand and it would drop to world prices. I(t is regarded as preferable * to export milk in the form of cheese than but- ter for several reasons, Ong is--Can- adian oheese ranks higher in the United Kingdom market than does butter from this country. Annour.cement of the resumption of statutory increases brought a note of good cheer to civil servants eligible for these increases, which will amount to from $60 to $240 per annum. Those affected will get a nice little sum in the first pay including the boost, because the increase is being made retroactive to April 1. ada and the Japanese government.

As their environment and handling has been identical and will continue to be so for a time, this individual growth will be of interest to the enemies of heredity who maintain that every one adopts his social at- titude AFTER birth, If the Dionne babies develop similar natures it helps to prove their point.

"I like housekeeping when I'm met by a daily challenge to my imagina- tion and resourcefulness. The curious thing was, before I came to this side to keep house, I imagined that women in Canada and the United States spent their entire lives mak- ing somethihg out of nothing. I got that from your magazines. I read about the girl who saved her mother niture in the house out of old boxes and spools and a little paint, but I haven't been able to find the girl! KNOWLEDGE HELPS Mrs. Davidson finds that what she discovered about housekeeping in various lands is a great help to her. In China and Singapore, for instance, she learned to make a little of any- thing--meat, vegetables or fruit--go a long way by the addition of rice. She has found that a fine help in hard times. . In India and Borneo' she learned how to battle heat by eating pungent, highly-seasoned foods and keeping the hot air away from the body by means of cotton clothes, which were changed entirely twice a day. Our men especially need to discover how much more comfortable they could be in our hottest weather by follow- ing the tropical rule, Mrs. Davidson thinks. : It 'was England, where she lived during the war years, that taught Mrs. Davidson the advantage of the personal; intimate touch in the home, whether. it "goes with" the rest of the furniture or not.

About Those Dishes Which By Any Other Name Might Taste as Good But Have Bien Chesen to Masquer- ade. : When is a erab not a crab? When it is a piece of cheese, of about two ounces in weight, grated and mixed well with a' walnut of butter, a teaspoon of anchovy es- sence and a dash of cayenne pepper. ° A little vinegar to taste is then . worked into it and, if necessary, cream is added for moistening. The mixture is served on rounds of cold fried bread and sprinkled with chop- ped parsley. : 3 In other words, mock crab. But why it goes by that name, is hard to say. We can only surmise that, because some of the ingredients in this dish are also used for dressing crab, a cook of vivid, and at the same time extremely morbid, imag- ination gave it the name. It is the tallest fishing story ever told. STRANGE BEASTS The witch's cauldron of the kitchen, however, bubbles with many such legless animals and wingless birds. Welsh rabbit will already have leaped to most people's minds. Here .is an English: rabbit instead --a dish of equal antiquity. You toast a slice of bread to a good brown, put it on a plate, pour a glass of red wine over it, and let it soak this up under a low flame. You then arrange a thick layer of very 'thin slices of cheese on top of the bread, season to taste, and toast it under the grill. Now we will let the rabbit get a bit of its own back by giving a recipe for mock chicken. Joint a rabbit, and cook it very gently in butter, taking care that it does. not-brown, Then take the meat from the bones, mince it very finely, 'and season it with -salt,-pepper 'and paprika. "Stir in*% "cup cream and 'a beaten . egg, turn the 'mixture into a" but- tered: mould and steam for 'three- quarters of "an hour. Turn®- out "of the mould and serve Vth a bechamel - sauce 'poured over it. : COD AS SALMON There is a delicious pie which is sometimes known as mock goose, and sometimes as mock duck, be- cause it tastes equally unlike either of them. : : ote Calf's liver is thinly = sliced and floured; about half its quantity of bacon is cut into dice, and a, greased pie-dish is filled with layers of the meat alternating with layers, of sliced' onions and potatoes, the lay-- ers being well seasoned with pepper, salt, and finely chopped sage. The top layer must be of potatoes. Moisten the pie with a little stock, dot with beef dripping, and bake in a moderate oven. There is such a thing as mock salmon, but it more than a mockery. It is all cod. VERY LARGE TOAD We must not forget that curious creature. known as Toad-in-a-Hole. There are many -versjons -of this dish, some of them sadly debased, but the best is made with round stead and kidney. : Butter a fireproof dish, cut the steak and kidney into conveniently sized pieces, Beason them with pepper and salt and. fill the dish three parts up with them. Make a batter by mixing 2 table- spoons butter melted (but not made hot with two eggs, % cup flour, a pinch of salt, and enough milk to make it like thick cream. Pour this slowly over the meat, which should be covered ~com- pletely, and bake in a moderate oven for one and a half" to two hours, lowering the heat after the first forty-five minutes. T This dish we suspect first got it was cooked in the less wieldy form of a single lump of meat, which represented the large toad, enclosed in the batter. . FISHY BIRD What other mimicries have we up our sleeve? Well, thére is mock turtle" soup, for instance; but since it is quite as troublesome, and almost as expen- sive to make, as the real thing, we will leave it there, Mock venison is an easier trick. Skin and )bone about three and a half pounds of loin of mutton, voll it and put it into a stewpan with an onion stuck with cloves, a little port wine, a cup water, a teaspoon vine- gar, pepper and: salt to taste, and a small bunch of parsley and thyme.
