FURLONG, Treasurer, Bank of Nova Scotia "Nest Ege" Money ~ From Family Hens Aid Victory Loan "Mrs. John Brown's hens are good Jayers. And the egg money on_ the 'Brown farm belongs to Mrs. Brown. When the Victory Loan salesman calls on Mrs. Brown, he will be glad 'to show her how to make a nest egg -~with her egg money by investing it in Victory Bonds. This "nest egg" will produce more "eggs" for Mrs. Brown by paying her three per cent.. interest every year. Mrs. Brown's nest egg in Victory Bonds will help supp4y another kind of "eggs" for her son's bomber to lay Over enemy territory, bringing vic- tory and peace that much closer, and 'bringing her son home that much sooner. And when the war is won, Brown will still have her "nest egg" 'and it will be laying more "eggs." War The fishing industry, even more than many others, has been affected by the war. Deep sea fishermen are exposed to new hazards from sub- marines; many fishermen and many of the larger fishing boats have joined the Navy. In spite of difficulties, a fair amount of fish is available on Canadian mar- kets. Smoked and dried fish can us- ually be bought even if fresh fish is unobtainable. For pre-Easter fish days, the De- partment of Fisheries at Ottawa sug- gests the following recipes. Codfish Puff Shred and freshen in several waters 42 cup salt codfish. Cover with cold water, bring to boiling point, drain and flake. Add 1 cup mashed potatoes, 1 tablespoon butter, % teaspoon pepper and a little salt, if needed. Beat vig- orously.

To remove odor of fish from the hands, rub them with salt and rinse in cold water before washing. Dishes and pans used for cooking fish should be washed in water with a generous quantity of dry mustard added to re- move the odor. Study In Cuca Front pages of Canada's leading daily newspapers in the closing days of March carried a study in contrasts which readers can name for them- selves. Eight-column banner headlines told of the 8th Army smashing through the Mareth Line. Rommel's African Korps was in full retreat by March 29th; thousands of casualties littered the North African battlefields; huge, uncounted batches of prisoners had been taken; General Bernard Mont- gomery's 8th Army having driven the Nazis back 1,500 miles, was pushing the still powerful foe miles into a trap for annihilation. The day this news was reaching Canada, Canadians were regaled with the story of the Montreal Tramway Strike: Street car men had walked out, tying up Canada's largest city and keeping thousands of war work- ers from their desperately important production jobs. Next day, with more wonderful news pouring in from North Africa, came the story about shipyard workers striking in Vancouver. Some 5,000 shipyard workers 'walked out." The cause of the strike was reported to be: "The Union objected to 70 work- ers working without union cards." "Tilegal," is Labor Minister Hum- phrey Mitchell's description of the Montreal strike. In Vancouver, Federal Department of Labor Officials charge: "The strike is a contravention of a signed agree ment with the company and in direct violation of federal statutes." B. A. GALBRAITH Accountant - Auditor = 2427 149 Rebecca, Stratford, Ont. STRATFORD Sal <a cage 3 = pe MIRROR JUST AMONG OURSELVES A Regular Department Conducted for Mirror Readers by Ina St. John. NOT GOOD COMPANY Dear Miss St. John: The girl next door and I have been friends ever since we started to school. When she was in first year High her mother died, so she stopped school and stayed home. When she got a stepmother she could not get a job and she just got running around with a bad gang. Now she could get work but she does not want it. None of the girls will go with her, but I still think she's a lot of fun. I go to a show with her sometimes. People say I'll get as bad a name as she has if I am seen with her. Do you think this is right? Wr Rh. Re. Answer: Well, W.R.R., you are judged to a great extent by the com- pany you keep. It is nice to remain friendly with this girl, but unless you are trying to influence her to live your kind of life it would be better not to go out with her. f INA ST. JOHN. * * * HER CLUB Dear Miss St. John: : The head officer in a club to which I belong smokes, drinks openly, and never enters a church. The work of our club is most necessary, and this woman handles everything very well. All the same, many of us are ashamed to have such a person represent us all. She has money and is quite popular with the younger members, especially, so I suppose she'll be re-elected. Can anything be done by us older members? MARTHA. Answer: It is a pity that those in offices of any association should not be of the finest calibre, Martha. How- ever, it often happens that those who are best fitted for such appointments Ray Getliffe Better Fitting Footwear invites you and your fam- ily to take advantage of a have neither the time nor the inclin- ation to serve. It is left to those who have the ability no matter what per- sonal habits they have acquired. INA ST. JOHN. * * * RATIONING Dear Miss St. John: When the war is over do you think we'll have to use ration cards? My husband says we'll have to do as we are doing for years. I argue that the war's end will end rationing quick. MR. and MRS. Answer: It seems to me that America will have to share food with the devastated countries for some time after peace comes to the world, Mr. and Mrs. We could not enjoy plenty while they were in want, even if the war were over, could we? ~ * * * HIS EASTER GIFT Dear Miss St. John: My boy friend telegraphed lovely flowers for me at Easter. I did not even send him a card. Could I send something now? He might think it was delayed. JANE. Answer: Well, Jane, boxes are al- ways welcomed by men in the. ser- vice. However, whether he is in uni- form or not, a nice long letter would please him just as much. IN ST. JOHN.
