By LAURA C. PEPPER Chief, Consumer Section, Dominion Dept. of Agriculture Everybody likes pie, and a really good pie is a culinary achievement second to none. Made with fresh fruit, pies are at their best, and it is worth remembering that sugarless canned fruit makes pies that taste almost like fresh fruit pies. Today's recipes from the Consumer Section of the Dominion Department of Agriculture are for fresh fruit pies. A "company" peach chiffon pie; an open face plum pie and a deep peach pie.

Casualty Rate Kept Low By Medical Men According to army authorities, the magnificent work by medical men in Canada's three armed services, aided by remarkable advances in research and the provision of effective supplies, has kept the casualty rate among the fighting men of the Dominion at a considerably lower figure than during the last war. in its present-day form, research, par- ticularly, has had outstanding results. The sulpha drugs, penicillin, dressings, bandages, adhesive and _ industrial tape, absorbent cotton, special equip- ment and supplies are all playing their part in a wide variety of life- giving and life-saving ways. Up to the end of April, 1944, the value of medical supplies purchased for the Navy, Army and Air Force was $21,020,119. The heaviest pur- chases were drugs and chemicals of all kinds and other important items were tablets, surgical dressings, X-ray equipment, surgical instruments, ap- paratus, field and laboratory equip- ment.

Mrs. Churchill comes out, still the handsomest of political wives and the most engaging of conversationalists, and lends her ready advice, till the wall is shoulder high and the breach filled. ; There is a large red building in the garden which is said to have been reared in the same way, and a small 'doll's house, which was built for Mr. Churchill's youngest daughter, Mary. Here he and she withdraw to plot and plan and play, creating a fairyland without and truly a fairyland within. The domestic life of the Churchill family is so idyllic that it seems hard to imagine that one is watching one whose career has been of the loudest, one who is still a storm-centre in the world. Mr. Churchill has had the most meteoric of life-courses. As"a youth of seventeen he joined a campaign in Cuba. He was next a correspondent in Northern India at the age of twenty-two and, at twenty-seven, had taken part in the famouse charge at Omdurman. Then, before reaching thirty, he was wafted to South Africa, became a captive of the Boers, only to make the most miraculous escape on record. Within a few months of this escape he was in a_ ship bound for England, spending laborious nights in the hold preparing speeches and toil- some days on the poop spouting peror- ations, despite the gibes and laughter of his comrades, Then he became a Member of Par- liament. He was Joseph Chamber- lain's main protagonist over Tariff Reform and he did what his father had never dared, he changed his party. Within a few months he had become an Under-Secretary, and, within a few more, hei was inside the magic circle of the Cabinet, not to leave it for long years of high endeavor until he reach- ed the pinnacle as First Lord of the Admiralty, in charge of the greatest fleet that has ever floated in the greatest war the world has ever known. He was the only English Cabinet Ministed who served as a regimental officer in the trenches. And this cata- logue of achievement omits a thou- sand exploits and excitements in art, literature, politics and polo. It is not easy to credit all this as I watch him with his trowel and plumb- line and hear the trowel tinkle. It is not possible to believe that my host either carries a care or nourishes an ambition.

Y.--A profit- able sideline for capable but not too well known radio singers is ghosting on the screen as_ the voices of Hollywood film stars. The late Russ Colombo, when un- oS known, was the first sing- ing voice for many of Holly- wood's roman- tic male fig- ures. Virginia Verrill, until she settled down to mar- riage in Chi- cago, was the singing screen voice of An- drea Leeds, Kay Francis and Barbara Stanwyck. Actor Jack Haley:in the film "Wake Up and Live" was hailed by critics as Hollywood's_ singing sensation of the year until some- one discovered the voice was actually that of radio baritone Buddy Clark. Latest "ghost" is said to be Andy Russell, com- ing young fellow heard on NBC programs from Hollywood. o a: x = . . air sick Unlike Bob Hope, who loves it, Bing Crosby fears air travel. Un- til a few months ago, he had made only one trip by plane in his life and became deathly. sick. He said he never would fly again but now is on a USO tour of the South Pacific--traveling by plane. He expects to grow a beard, like on vacations. He will return to the air Nov. 2. WHERE'S THE TRICK? Officials of the Blue network, on which Joseph Dunninger, the "mindreader," appears with his mystic tricks, are as much puz- zled by them as anyone. But few 'believe Dunninger is supernat- jural, as he would have you be- 'lieve. They agree there is a trick somewhere ... but they don't know where. Professional ;magicians claim Dunninger uses "sticks" (pro talk for "stooge"). But Dunninger says he'll give $10,000 to anyone who can prove 'he uses "sticks." The program is 'planned far in advance, with all istumts to be pulled announced a 'week ahead. Some are trying to figure a clue from there. GOOD BUSINESS e When recently bandleader Abe Lyman married Rose Blane, who for six years sang with his or- chestra, he remarked jokingly: : ; Well, since I pay Rose, I might as well marry her," Maybe there is something in that. Kay Ky- ser married his men Castillo; George Olsen, Ethel Shutta; Ozzie Nelson, Vera Vague . not bad Harriet Hilliard, and Skinnay En- nis, Carmine Calhoun--all at the time the gals were working for them! * . as Vera Vague (Barbara Jo Al- len), dizzy doll of the Bob Hope show, chases men for a living on the radio. Off the air, men chase her. She's one of the _ cutest things in Hollywood. Joan Davis, always typed as man-starved in her characterizations,' is fed-up with the role. She'll change to a er girl on the radio in the all. VERY LITTLE THINGS Ed (Archie) Gardner used to be a radio producer for a big ad- vertising agency until he decided he could do better than some of = the actors and started his own program, "'Duf- f£y*s Tavern," Off the air he talks the same t. as on the show - Morton Downey is the supersti- ated "= (to the disgust Jack Benny of his tailor) +++ worry-wart with good luck charms sent him by listeners... Jack Benny, worry-wart of the comedians, writes friends he is relaxed for the first time in years. He's on a USO tour of the South Pacific No. 2 worrier is Fred Allen. The latter has developed such high blood pressure being funny, his doctor has advised him to retire from the _ business. Benny will be back Oct. 8. ™ best of fathers, husbands and sons, Other men have spent their leisure and taken their pleasures far other- wise. Many still prefer to humiliate a friend at golf, or fleece him at bridge. But in this picture of Mr. Churchill's home there is a back- ground which is aesthetically and mor- ally superior, and British in its inno- cence and health.

Summer Furniture Usually gets lots of abuse and pre- cious litlte care. Put these tips in your book of words and don't forget about them: Wicker and reed furniture; dust them often with a brush. Wash occa- sionally with mild soapy water, rinse and dry. Rattan and Rustic: soap and water treatment again. A coat of varnish or shellac helps retain natural gloss, Painted wooden furniture: soap and water here too. Waxing the painted surface helps keep it clean. ; Answer Yes or No! Here we go again! Keep a lid on your saucepan when you're cooking vegetables. If you don't, away go the vitamins you've paid your cash for.
