No Extravagant Display Of Food In 1944 Easter or that the Easter dinner will be just another meal. The food served may be the every- day variety but, chosen with an eye to Easter colours of gold and purple and served on the best dishes, it can take on a very festive air. Here is a simple but colorful menu from the Consumer Section of the Dominion De- partment of Agriculture. Tomato Juice Chicken Fricassee Riced Potatoes Seven Minute Cabbage with Hollandaise Sauce Jellied Carrot Salad Sponge Cake Squares with Grape Sauce Coffee As alternative main course sugges- tions Chicken--Virginia Style, or Stuff- ed Pork Tenderloin might appeal. Chicken Fricassee 1 fowl, about 5 to 6 pounds 1% cups milk ¥% cup flour 2 teaspoons salt % teaspoon pepper % cup mild-flavored fat ¥% cup minced onion or % teaspoon onion salt 1% cups water Cut up fowl in pieces for serving. Dip each piece in milk. Coat with mix- ture of flour, salt and pepper. Brown chicken in fat in heavy frying pan. Remove pieces to casserole. Cook on- ion in fat left in pan. Blend in remain- ing flour. Add rest of milk and water stirring until mixture thickens. Pour over chicken. Cover and bake in a moderate slow oven, for 1% to 2 hours. Six servings. Note: Water may be used to replace milk. Chicken--Virginia Style 1 chicken, 4 to 5 pounds 6 thin slices uncooked, smoked ham whole cloves 1 tablespoon flour 4 tablespoons brown sugar % cup hot water Cut chicken in pieces for serving and remove bones with a sharp pointed knife. Wrap each portion in a slice of bacon, tie securely or fasten with toothpicks or small skewers. Stick 4 cloves in each roll and place in a greas- ed baking dish. Sprinkle with flour mixed with brown sugar and add hot water. Bake in a moderate oven, 350 d. F, for 1 hour, basting every 10 minutes. Serve garnished with slices of glazed apples. Six servings. Stuffed Pork Tenderloin Lay tenderloin flat on a board and using a sharp knife split it down the centre, being careful not to cut it com- pletely through. Open the two halves and again split each of these. Continue this splitting until the tenderloin | is quite wide and flat. Spread thinly with well seasoned dressing. Roll up like a jelly roll and tie or hold together with skewers. Bake in a moderate oven, 350d. F, until tender, about 1 hour. Two tenderloins about 3- lb. each will give six servings. Good will to others is constructive thought. It helps build us up. It is good for your body. It makes your blood purer, your muscles stronger, and your whole form more symmet- rical in shape. It is the real elixir of life. The more of such thought you attract to you, the more life you will have. Now think what a godsend it would be if there were some device that © would ring a bell when we turn out a sloppy piece of work, or automatically give us a kick when we use only about a quarter of our energy on our job. . is ak THE STRATFORD MIRRUR Page & FILING HER WAY TO It has been estimated that in 1940, one woman in 186 was employed in industy; in December 1943, one in 24. Joining the industrial parade of women into vital war work, this young Canadian can handle a file as deftly as any man in turning out parts in an airplane factory. Not long ago, she looked on a file as something used solely to manicure - her nails. ; VICTORY! 90 Ontario Street in Golding & Lumsden BONDS--STOCKS~--GRAINS NOW os We give you private wires to all exchanges.

In some parts of Canada it's already open season for moths, and the sad thing about it is that one doesn't realize it often until too late.

". . . beautiful soup" Theory is that the -good French housewife always kept a stock pot on the back of the stove, from which came the good nourishing soups for which she is famous. (How grateful a French woman would be now if she could get but a few of the items available here. . . even left-overs). Think of it the next time you are tempted to throw out a dab of vegetable, an old bone. The stock pot will be all the better for bones . . « left-over meat, roasts, chops, trimmings, celery and green onion tops, parsley, raw vegetables and vegetable water, gravy, tomatoes, on- ion, macaroni. 3 Forecast: cool and fresher Keep bread closely wrapped in wax . in the refrigerator for last- ing freshness if there is room .... in a ventilated breadbox.

See "Directory Page" MAIL ORDER SYRUP BUYING Provision has been made by the ra- tion administration of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board for Canadians to continue purchasing their maple syrup by mail order if this has been their habit in the past. Consumers who wish to order their syrup by mail will turn in to their Local Ration Board sufficient '"D" coupons to cover the amount of syrup they wish to buy, at the rate of four coupons per gallon. Officials of the Ra- tion Board will then provide them with "purchase vouchers" which must ac- company the money order for the syr- up. Incidentally, producers who are un- able to fill the orders, must return the purchase voucher to their customers. In all sales direct to customers, a farmer should collect one "D" coupon for every 40 ounces of syrup he sells. His ceiling prices are as follows: $2.40 for ungraded syrup; $2.65 for Canada dark grade; $2.90 for Canada medium grade; $3.15 for Canada light grade and $3.40 for Canada fancy grade.

"The job is yours," said Welles sim- ply. "But listen..." she began defens- ively. "The job is yours," repeated Welles. "Now, Mr. Welles," insisted the act- ress, "I think I ought to tell you something. I'm going to have a baby." "When?" "About seven months," said the ex- pectant mother timidly. "All the better!" Welles yelled ec- statically. "If you start in the pic- ture it'll really prove to those bums that I'm going to finish it on time."-- Kyle Crichton in Collier's.
