People dislike pay- ing for the necessities of life, such as food and shelter. That is why they are always demanding that the price of these necessities should be controlled or that they should be subsidized out of taxes, On the othier hand, they like buying for luxuries, such as liquor and tele- vision. Rarely if ever i§ it cuggest- _ed that the price of luxuries is too high." <The Peterborough Examiner some time ago noted the case of an unemployed automobile worker at Windsor who applicd to his union for relief.

The Globe and Mail concludes that "it is not the high cost of living that is causing most of the trouble today but the cost of high living." The Globe and Mail points out that involved in all this is an econ- omic distortion which brings about a scarcity of they cannot demand a good price while lixurics become plentiful be- cause they demand practically any price.

Why is it perhaps you've e asked ever two women, "using the same ingredients, get such diff- erent results) the one a heavy slice of stodgy stuff soaked in fat, aml the other a light, creamy mixture inside, crisp and brown on the out- side, with a definite "roast-beef" . flavour about it? * * * Well, here's the secret, direct from an Englishwoman who says: Let's start at the beginning. I have watched many women making a Yorkshire pudding and have come to the conclusion that most of them are too slap-dash about it. The very simplicity of the recipe is deceiving; 'they thing they can knock up a Yorkshire pudding at the last mo- ment because it's quick and simple. Well, they get a pudding of sorts-- but not a real Yorkshire one. ¥ * * - They don't see that the flour is perfectly dry and free from lumps-- and they're not always particular that it is plain flour. Rarely-do they trouble tq weigh the flour or mea- sure it exactly, and as often as not they 'use too much, . * * ¥ ~ They will go to the trouble of beating the egg, though it is not. "necessary, and add it to the flour with a little milk, but they haven't the patience to ttir and beat until there dre no lumps left before add- ing the rest of the milk. Once you get the batter lumpy, it -is practically impossible (short of - straining the lumps oy, to get the batter Stool), * * But, you say, you always get your batter smooth? And beat it well? And then what do you do? Pour it straight into 'the baking tin? Well, The batter should stand in a cold place for at least an hour before it is cooked--the longer the better. * * * In: Yorkshire We have a saying "an extra hour is an extra egg." or lightness, 'we mean. Why? Well, --the long standing causes the starch grains: in the flour to wvell and burst, emitting little bubbles of air into the batter. Air is a lightener just as much as eggs are. Perhaps you'll see bubbles of air on top of your "batter after you laye let | it --stand- for -a while. * * * ---Oh, and another thing; linking up with this question of letting in in_air-- You beat your batter with a deep, lifting motion so, that you make little balloons init, and always beat in the same direction. It stands to sense¢, doesn't it? If you are letting in air by turning the batter in one direction, you will let it out if you reverse the motion. * * oo» Now it is time to bake the pud- ding. You will have a hot oven ready. If you are roasting meat, pour some of the dripping from the meat tin into your Yorkshire pud- ding tin--not too much, just enough to cover well the Peston, . * * Put this in the oven to get sizzling hot, and in the meantime add a tablespoonful of the coldest water "you can get to the batter, and beat it well in. Then, your fat Hot, pour in the batter. It should sizzle round the edges as you pour it in; it must be quite-thin and flowing, nothinfi like "a sponge-cake texture; as I have seen some women make it. * * * Then into the hot oven, fairly high up, and with nothing place on the shelf above it to prevent the air and heat circulating all round the tin, At the end of 20 minutes it should be puffed well up above the. edge of the tih, and delicately ting- with brown. That is how it € 3 look when it comes from the _oven, but as'soon as you put a knife _into it, it will collapse, but never mind, the inside will be creamy, and the crust crisp and meaty flavoured. * + * + Oh, and it should be eaten straight from the oven--not kept waiting, and, of course, you eat it as a separate item, not crowded up with the meat and vegtables as some heathens do. Here are the proportions, in case you are not quite sure: Four ounces plain flour (four- tablespoons), one egg, half pint liquid, one tablespoonful of which' is water, the rest milk, quarter-tea- spoonful of salt, Don't forget, sift the flour, be sure the batter is smooth, let it stand at least an hour, and stir in the table: poonful of water at the last minute. : * * To This dissertation on Yorkshire pudding took up more space than 1 "had intended but perhaps there will he room enough for me 107 pass along some more hints for adding new interest to even the cheaper cuts Qf meat.

The only other woman he loved vho wor- sternest was his elder sister Sarah, shipped him, yet was his critic, She had presented a formally-en- graved calling card that read: "Dr. ¢ Miss) Sharyu Pandit." But it was the woman, not the scientist, that came to the "surface when plained why she was in this country. "Forty per cent of all children in India die before they reach ten," she said, with a solenmm Jook on her round face, "That is too much. That shouldn't he." ] Because of that cold statistic, Dr. Pandit is just completing a nation-wide tour to study maternal "and child care here. She has been here since December. On her way back to India, she'll stop off at 'many countrics in lurope to con: tinue her studies. } Since World War IJ, she ex- plained, the maternal and child care situation in India has improved. But it's a painfully sow process. "You know," she said, people, and only one mid-wife for 60,000 people. Four out* of every five births arc unattended. We have a long way to go." But a start has been made, through international organizations like tlie World Health Organiza- tion and the UN International Chil dren's Emergency Fund. Dr. Pan- dit, who is an adviser on maternity and child health to India's director- ate-general of health services, has had a large hand in setting up the aid programs, The. keynote of all hielp, Dr, Pan- dit feels, should be training. Lack of pre-natal care, in her opiniong is thie chief reason for the high in- fant mortality rate, although lack of proper nutrition is also vital, But it is the alinost complete ab- sence of education for prospective L mothers that does, most of. the damage. !

More funds are going to equip properly 200 hcalth centers maintained by India and the Indian Red Cross. These cen- ters-age staffed by women "health visitors" .who go to homes and train expectant mothers in anfant care. UNICEF funds, for equipping these scattered centers, are spent on everything from nailbrushes to blood pressure machines. One big need, Dr. Pandit says, is for mid- wives" maternity bags. These cost about £15, contain everything a practicing anid-wife needs, and the Wwonien strap hem on theif mative. backs as they make their calls. Dr. Pandit emphasizes that the world =groups don't - confine their help to. the one problem. They aid trition, polio, venereal diseases and in combating fuberculosis, "falnn- other health problems. But she is most concerned with maternal and child care, In areas where health aid has been most widespread, she has noticed great improvement, 'I'he death-rate of infants, in those arcas, has been cut from 176 per 1000 births to around 100, Dr. Pandit docsn't think the de- crease in the infant death rate will result in a disastrous population rise in already over-populated Tn- dia. ~ "Afterall," she says, "if you had a rose bush, you'd rather have two beautiful, healthy roses than a Tush crowded with sickly, straggly flowers. Same way with people-- if they can have two. or three healthy children, they won't want lots of children. As the health im- proves, the birth rate will decline."
