The city of Boston is noted for many things, among them being the famous combination of Baked Beans and Boston Brown Bread. But you don't need to visit the Massachusetts capital in order to enjoy it by any means. If you're like most housewives, you probabl - have your own special method of baking beans, but it 'may be that you've never tried the bread. If you do give it a try-out, I'm "pretty sure it will only be the first of many. So here's how you go about making Boston Brown Bread 1 cup sour cream. ' ¥3 cup white sugar 4 cup brown sugar 34 cup molasses( or corn syrup) 1 egg teaspoon salt cup . white 'bread flour 1 cup graham flour 1 teaspoon soda 1 cup raisins ¥ cup chopped nutmeats METHOD; Mix sour cream, sugar, syrup and egg. Add salt and soda to the flour, and mix well with other ingredients, Add raisins and nut- meats! Put into three well greased round pans. 'Bake--uncovered--for three-fourths to one hour.

British Industries Fair A Big Event --_------ 7 . To those who are planning to= visit the British Isles this Spring-- and there are many of them,--the iollawing information will no 'doubt be of interest. 'It is 'supplied to us by the Associated British and Irish Railways Incorporated. Advance information of dee Bri- tish Industries I'air which will be held in London and Birmingham irom May 2 to 13 indicates that, as previously, no effect will be spared in ensuring the comfort and con- venience of visitors, particularly those from abroad. In the case of those visitors from abroad who normally require visas, these will be issued free if the ap- plicant requires the visa in connec- tion with a vist to the Fair, and visas for wivs and children under . 18 yars of age are also included in this arrangement. Application 'should be made to any British Coun- In London, both Earls Court and Olympia are adjacent ta railway sta- tions; for Earls Court, tickets are booked to either Earls Court or West Brompton, and for Olympia to Kensington, (Olympia).. Although Earls Court and Olympia are very . close together, a free motor coach service will be provided between the two buildings, and journeys by this means will take less than three min- utes. At Birmingham there will be the special railway station for the Fair at Castle Bromwick, and every day express trains will run between London (Euston) and Birmingham (Castle Bromwick) specially for vis- "itors to the Fair, This route will take a little over two hours. ARernately, visitors may leave London (Paddington) for Birming- ham (Snow Hill Station) and take a. apecial bus to the Fair, During the bysiest parts of the day special trai s will also run between Birmingham (New Street Station) and Castle Bromwick every few minutes. With memories of the Olympics, it is hardly necessary to stress that hotel and travel accommodation should be reserved as early as pos- sbile, and in this connection the * Birmingham Chamber of Commerce has appointed a special Office to aid visitors in obtaining accommo- dation. Enquiries should be addres- sed to the Accommodation Officer, Birmingham Chamber of Commerce, 95 New Street, Birmingham.

Clarke So the ground-hog crawled back And why not--it is surely too early for the ground-hog or us to be thinking seriously of spring. We have hardly had any winter yet, mayed at the way the year is speed- ing on. We always think of winter as being such a good time for get- ting. things done that have been left until "we have more time". But "here we are into February, and just a-wondering where the time has gone. No one can settle to anything before Christmas--and after Christ- mas we have to sort of adjust our- selves again to ordinary, everyday living. Then we run into January, February and March -- and sud- denly it's spring. say "Where has the time goné-' Come to think of it, time is actually an unknown quantity, isn't it- Or at least, it is a relative quantity. No one can tell before- hand how much of it he or she will have. When we put off things til we have more time" what assur- ance have we that there will be more time later on? We might have even Jess--a great deal less. And then, too, I suppose most of us confuse time with leisure. We all have the same amount of time-- sixty minutes in every hour, twenty- four hours in every day--but we don't all have the same amount of Heisure, do we? Leisure depends mainly upon how we arrange our time, if you- gét what I mean. Then again, what is leisure? The dictionary defines it as "spare time; freedom from pressing business." The trick is to arrange our "pressing business" so that we manage to get "a little leisure. Sometimes one has to fit one job in with another. I remember several years ago there was an officers' rally--I think #t was in connection with the W.I.-- or it may have been the I.O.D.E.--I really forget, gave us quite a lecture on how to conduct ourselves at a meeting. She said it was extremely discourteous to knit while a meeting was in pro- gress--that when we attend a meet- ing we should go prepared to give both the business and the program our undivided attention. Of course I was caught napping--or maybe I should say "knitting." I wonder what other ¢lub woman think about the matter. Wouldn't it make rather a good debate, or dis- eussion topic, for some of your Personally T am dis-' No wonder we "un- Anyway, the speaker meetings! It would be nice to know - the reaction of the other members of your various organizations, would'nt it? Especially the of- ficers. If 1 thought my knit- ting embarrassed a chairman or speaker I certainly wouldn't want . to do it at all, -- But I can't see why it should. Any time I have taken charge of a meeting I have been only too glad to see members with a bit of work in thelr hands. It meant they eouldn"t have thelr eyes or me all the tine! any meeting takes los ho two ra--oand think of t ork even ian women eould ah ne in- of two hours, Hardly - . Lyuring my day | have done quite a bit of reporting ty council meetings----and | can't. think of any better place for wust- ing time. FEarly-comers wait for late-comers; two-thirds of the coun- cil will often wait while the other third is in committee and all of them try to keep awake and to look intelligent while by-laws are given the necessary readings. The. wast- ed time used to bother me, espec- ially during the war. I used to "think what a good thing it would be if men should learn to use their spare time in knitting. And would- n't they look cute- I wonder what they would do with their cigars. Fitting: in very nicely with this matter of "time" and "leisure" here is a little verse I found among my --- clippings the other day by Amos R. Wells, of the problem for people who "haven't time" . , . and supplies the answer. "I am resolved To do less, that I may do more, Less of the things that do not count, That I may do more of the things that count." " Good Railways Need Adequate Returns "Canadian railways have. come through various tests of their basic efficiency and their resiliency," said Alistair Fraser, vice-president, traf- fic, Canadian National Railways, in replying to a toast to the railways, at the 41st annua. dinner of the Canadian Railway Club, held quite, recently. "Their experience has been ripened; their technique improved; their equipment modernized. They stand at the highest point with re- spect of men, material and methods. . Their health is good," he said. "The railways cannot maintain their good health," he continued, "if inadequately nourished, sjust as the finest athlete could not carry on a hunger fast indefinitely. Nor could he maintain himself, even in fairly good health, if undernourished, and so it is with the railways. They need a high level of traffic and adequate revenues for handling it. | eee iemnimeemmeium-- PLUGGED NOSTRILS KEPT CLEAR IM your head is stuffed up and dlstorbe your reat, insert a litle Buckley's White Bub in ekth mestril night and merniog. especially couns-- It goes right to the heait NDAY SCHOOL LESSON By Rev. R, Barclay Warren Parables of Jesus Mark 4: 1-9; Luke 15: 11-14 Golden Text-- Be not deceived; God is not mocked; for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.--Cal 6: 7, \Who doesn't hike a story? Even my four-year-old daughter has be- gun to ask for "a story". Jesus ex- celled all others in the art of present- ing simple incidents from everyday life in such a way that they portray- ed great and eternal truths. The parables of Jesus were many and varied. Ie began with parables of the Kingdom. Some of the word that is sown is snatched away by Satan. Some receive the word but superficially and fail in the hour of trial. In others the love of pleasure and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, But some produce a har- vest unto life eternal. Other par- 'ables depict the value of the king- dom; still others its struggles but its yltimate triumph. In His last teaching through the story of the virgins, the talents, the dividing of the sheep and the goats, Ie sets forth the coming judgment. In the story of the prodigal son is presented the heart of the gospel. The prodigal is typical of many present day youth. 'They are out for "a good time". Drunkenness and fornication are alarmingly com- mon. Finally when all the thrills How Can I? By Anne Ashley Q. How can 1 patch wallpaper so that it will not be noticeable? A. When mending a blemish in the wallpaper by using a patch of the papgr that has been saved, hang the patch out in the sunlight for a few days, and the difference between the old and the new papers will not be so noticeable. QQ. How can I keep the meringue on pies from toughening? . A. Have the-egg whites very cold and beat them until stiff enough to stand alone. If baked in too hot an oven, meringue will be tough and shrink when set away to cool. Q. low can [ ftemove brown stains from white and light- colored ranges' anh A. Dip a cloth into turpentine and apply to the stains. With a little pressure the stains will come off. Q. low can I mend a parchment shade which has cracked from the constant heat of the light bulb? A. Hold the crack together and shellac over the crack several times "both inside and out. After this has thoroughly dried, shellac the entire shade, both inside and out, and you will be pleased with the results. Q. How -can [ remedy sugary jam? A..Jam that has been stored too lorig becomes hard and sugary, but if it is placed in a warm oven until the sugar melts it will be fit to eat again, Q. How can I have browner potatoes when frying them?

Sin doesn't pay. In the story the prodigal "comes to himseli", He starts for home, The climax is when the father sees him afar off and runs to meet him. Then follows a time of rejoicing. In the open arms of the father the publicans and sinners saw hope for themselves. The pharisees and scribes who had murmured saying, "This man re- ceived sinners, and eateth with them", saw the€mselves in the sulk- ing older brother. d A teen-ager excusing himself for his sinful living said, "You know a fellow musts sow, his wild oats". "Very well", replied his friend, "but don't forget that you must also reap the harvest". The youth who by Divine grace surrenders and dedicates 'his life to the will of God has "a good time". He reaps a harvest of life everlasting.
