Hello Homemakers! The home- maker is the true home economist of the nation and there are more women engaged in this active pro- fession than in any other. occupa- tion. We probably do not consider our jobs as glamorous as the varied careers pursued by some of our sisters, but, like them, we must give our best efforts if we wish to be successful. Although we try to keep food bills within our allowance, most of us are too busy to keep a regular budget and account of expenditure. Perhaps this is "muddling through" but experience is a great teacher and we tend to rely more upon it than facts and figures. The garbage can is always an indication of your economy. Check your food supplies constantly and never, never, throw out anything because of neglect. Keep your gar- bage tin free of wasted food and you will have more money in your urse. With fats more expensive than ever and a supply to be collected daily we review "Care of Fats." 1. Be sure to measure meat drip- ping for 'gravy making -- do not guess and waste it. 2. Render meat and fowl trim- mings by putting through the grinder and heat in double boiler or slow oven. Strain and store in refrigerator. 3. Watch temperatures in oven, skillet and broiler to see that you do not scorch dripping. 4. Chill soup stock and stews so that the fat floats to the top and forms a firm layer which can be easily lifted off. 5. Keep home prepared fats cov- ered in the refrigerator. Strain through cheesecloth before storing to remove any sediment. CREAM FILLED SQUASH Cut 2 pepper squash in half and scrape out the seeds and stringy portion. Placein pressure cooker with large whole scrubbed potatoes. Cook potatoes and squash together 10 minutes at 10 Ibs. pressure. Re- move as soon as cooked.

All such insects should be looked upon as a menace to next year's garden, for a large proportion will survive the winter and attack the growing plants in the spring. A general fall clean-up will mean the ground should be raked up and destroyed. It is advisable where practicable to burn over waste land surrounding the garden to kill any eggs of hiberating insects. Insect egg masses Or COCOONS: are often found in shrubs and low trees, or even on fences, garden furniture, out-buildings, or houses. Cleaning these up in the autumn will prevent them causing trouble next spring. Digging or plowing the garden in the fall will expose many of the in- sects in the soil, which will be killed by the severe cold in the winter. or- LYDIA GEORGE LADIES' READY-TO-WEAR MILLINERY -:- ACCESSORIES Phone 738-W * 3 Colborne Street CANADA'S CLIT TCH PON VALUE! 7 HIS EXCELLENCY "XX* lawels 349% 2 Yh "A 21 Jewel BULOVA Only $4950 Oo PAYS FOR YOUR CHOICE JULIANA 17 Jawsels 2 Diamonds New Toronto -- Ockvilfe AIngstorn.
