SOLUTION By Granville Paul Smith : He struggled with earth's many mysteries, And all enigmas of the universe An all enigmas of the universe Were imminent to rob him of his ease And haunt him from the cradle to the hearse. Life loomed so difficult with man so blind-- A problem to be solved, a nut to crack. Requiring all the sledges of the mind Heaved by a straining theory muscled back, Philosophies were grist unto his mill Religions by the hundreds made nim pause And knit his brow, inspiring him to fill Ten thousand pages with eternal laws... He puzzled all his life upon the score To find at last that two and two are four. --From North American Review.

He uses his head + and so must we, more than ever before, if we are to feed our families as well as they can be fed with the foods available. And, make no mistake, if we use our heads and the knowledge of food that we should all have tucked away in those heads, we can be as well or better fed than we were before the war. Nutrition Services at Ottawa tell us that foods fall naturally into certain groups. There is the Milk Group, which includes buttermilk, skim milk and cheese, as well as whole milk. The Fruit Group has two divisions, the first including citrus fruits and toma- toes, rose hips and summer § fruits like currants, strawberries and cante- loupe--all rich in vitamin C: And the second division, in which are all the other fruits. One from each di- vision should be used each day. The Vegetable Group should be represent- ed three times every day by one or other of its members. The Meat Group which includes meat alter- nates, should make an appearance once a day with three or four eggs per person during the week. The Cereal Group includes bread, and the amount of this group used will vary somewhat with the age and activity of different members of the family, though everyone should have one serv- ing a day of a whole grain cereal. These are the important groups for health. The Fat Group and the Sugar Group provide energy and the last group, Extras, including tea, flavorings, Pickles, etc., is valuable chiefly be- cause of its taste appeal. Within each group individual foods are more or less interchangeable. So, as long as each group is represented by one of its members, no one needs to suffer because some favorite foods are no longer as abundant as they ,once were. Railway Workers Overseas Remembered Ten thousand workers of the Can- adian National Railways in the Mont- real District are banded in the Em- ployees' War Services Association to maintain touch with men and women overseas. The association sends par- cels, provides smokes and is organized to visit the families of men on active Service and give help when needed. A highlight of the year's work was the presentation of 4 fully equipped mo- bile canteen to the Canadian Legion War Services, the canteen now being in service in England. Groups of women workers affiliated with the association have done much work in knitting, preparing Red Cross parcels and sending material to the blitzed areas overseas. Quick Rail Worker Saved Boy's Life Lucky for three-year-old Lyle Phil- lips. that Jacob Bay was looking out of a bus window and saw him fall through the ice of the Red River. Bay, returning from work in the Transcona, Manitoba, shops of the Canadian National Railways, reacted quickly. Shouting to the bus driver to stop, Bay got out, slid down the bank, crawled over ice breaking under his to safety. Bay is employed in the freight car repair shop. A Los Angeles footprint expert's shoes were stolen at a convention. It's safe to guess that thereafter he was more on his toes. weight, got Lyle out of the river and' oe THE STRATFORD MIRRUR Station Furnishes Material for Students There seems to be no end of the appeal of the Central Station of the Canadian National Railways, the latest being its use to stimulate the minds of youthful art students. A class of juveniles under instruction at the Art Association galleries reached the subject "communications" in their curriculum and the teacher' decided that first-hand infomation was in order. Accordingly, they adjourned to the Central Station where John Web- 'ber, stationmaster, had _his first ex- perience in guiding a group of bud- ding artists through the huge struc- ture. Of special interest to the stu- dents were the murals in the con- course and the stone plaques on the exterior walls, the work of Capt. 'Charles F. Comfort, of Toronto, and F. Brandtner, of Montreal. The plaques carry on the story of trans- portation. CLASSI STARTS MONDAY Today's youth on the wildest rampage of all time! Crime ~and_ recklessness increasing!

Of course the mould can be cut off and the rest grated, so it isn't entirely wasted. But there are tips on how to make sure ALL the next piece of cheese stays fresh. To prevent mould- ing or drying wrap tightly in wax paper and keep in refrigerator. If you have cheddar cheese, wrap in cloth wrung out in vinegar ... this discourages mould. Last, bits of cheese can be grated for cooking and kept in airtight jars. "I Hate Washing Hankies!" Washing the family handkerchiefs can be unpleasant, but it doesn't need to be. Night before washday soak handkerchiefs in cold salt water in their own separate pail. ing put them in a kettle large enough so that an ample amount of water covers them. Add liquid soap (laun- dry soap dissolved in water), and one to two tablespoons of ammonia. Bring water to the boiling point but do not boil, just scald. Boiling yellows linen. After scalding place handkerchiefs in the laundry tray and run lukewarm water from the tap over them. Now the handkerchiefs may be walked along with the other fine linen. Do It Now! Every good housewife is well up on the dodges for saving fuel these days. Here's one of the tricks. During the daytime turn off the radiator or hot air register in the rooms that are not being used and shut the door. Keeps the heat where you want it... where you're working. Needed Now--Vitamin B. Important to get plenty of vitamin B in daily diets, and extra amounts in winter time. Wheat germ...a tablespoon or two added to piping hot porridge is an easy way to make sure of this. Important not to cook wheat germ too much; add it about five min- utes before porridge comes off the stove. Add it raw to dry cereal, too. And here's another tip. Wheat germ keeps best in a cool, dry place. Hope Chest Raffle In This Man's Town "It's a "man't town," declares Rob- ert Ayre writing of Dawson Creek in the current issue of the Canadian Na- tional Magezine when describing the community where the railway ends and the Alaska Highway begins. But the place has its soft side. Mr. Ayre proceeds, "A man't town. But you never saw in Skagway, Whitehorse or that other Dawson, a _ hotel with a name like Dew Drop Inn, a spot like Blue Derby Waffle Shoppe, or Wade's Style Shop. You never ran into a laundry that advertised: "We special- ize in laundered dress shirts." Maybe they had a man who ran a garment and repair shop (though I doubt if he had Christmas candles wrapped in cellophane for sale in October) but I'll guarantee they didn't have a hope chest up for raffle." A Vermon village pastor, who had a weakness for trout, preached against fishing on Sunday. The next day one of his parishioners presented him with a fine string of fish and said, hesitat- ingly: "I guess I ought to tell you, parson, that those trout were caught on Sunday." The minister gazed appreciatively at See "Directory Page" the speckled beauties, and said, "The trout aren't to blame for that."

She is Adele Kaizer of East Halls Harbor. Recently she told an official of the Agricultural Depart- ment of the Canadian National Rail- ways here how she did this. "Last year I took the prize money I won at the Potato Club and bought a calf," she said. "I tended it all win- ter and this spring I turned it out to pasture. Now I am fattening it and plan to sell it for beef. During my vacation last summer I got a job pull- ing weeds and later picking potatoes. With this money I got twoewes and a pig. In the spring I expect to have some lambs and the pig to sell. This winter my sister and I ar doing the barn chores so my brother can go to the lumber woods. We have four pigs, thirty hens, fifteen sheep and a co wto look after. With the money I make for the beef I am going to buy another calf and put the balance of the money in War Savings." "Shine your shoes, Mister?" "No time, Sonny." "Well, to start the day right I'll do one for nothing." "All right, go ahead." "There, how does she look, Boss?' "Fine."
