The commonly used ber- ries are classed as small fruits and include gooseberries, raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, blackber- ries, hucklberries and many. other types developed from these. Nothing makes a more delightful | dessert than a big bow! of fresh ber- ries, either wild or from the garden, particularly if the children have helped to pick them. They are spec- ially good at this kind of work pro- vided they are. supervised by a grown-up, since otherwise they are apt to eat more than their share and come home with half-full pails. Not everyone has access to a berry patch but our summer markets offer a generous choice of berries of all kinds in season. Berries should never be washed until ready to use since they deteri- orate more quickly after being wash- ed and berries should always be washed before hulling or stemming. Some of the berries may be can- ned, others made into jam or jelly. Luscious desserts are also prepared with the fresh or cooked fruit. Fruit juices for use in cool drinks or can- ned for next winter's social gather- ings may also be extracted from the berries. The home economists of the Con- sumer Section of the Dominion Department of Agriculture offer recipes making use of seasonal ber- ries. - BLUEBERRY CRISP 4 cups blueberries Y% cup sugar 2 teaspoons lemon or rhubarb juice 2 tablespoons butter or mild-flav- oured fat % cup flour % cup brown sugar 34 cup quick-cooking oats Wash blueberries, place in a greased baking dish, add sugar, and sprinkle with juice.

THE STRATFORD MIRROR OEP EPrV.ZEPrWVVOOFU,TCOOU.I"2 VO ' VJ Just Among Ourselves | A regular department conducted for Mirror readers i by Ina St. John. BO 00 0 EVV E1010 SSS ENGAGED Dear Miss St. John: Just a line to your interesting column which I read regularly. I have just said "yes" to the one and only man. He wants to buy me a diamonnd ring, but I'd rather save the money as we plan to marry soon. ._ The only objection is, I believe there is some superstition about other stones. Can you tell me if this is true? Irish Molly: Answer: Well, Molly, pearls are said to be the emblem of tears, em- eralds signify success in love, while the diamond will bring the greatest happiness. Other superstitions tell us that you must not allow any one to try on your engagement ring. Losing it signifies that your engage- ~ment will be broken. : Even the Irish do not take these superstitions too seriously, Molly. We wish you joy. "? [pa St wonn, A SEEING-EYE DOG Dear Miss St. John: My brother joined the American army, as he was working in Detroit. He is home now and we fear he is going blind. He has a disability pen- sion.

Many couples more than five years apart in age are quite suited in disposition. Ina St. John. The Care And Feeding Of The Tourist Ego Tourists are big shots away from home. They seek recreation for weary bodies and rejuvenation for flaccid egos. Whatever their status in their own bailiwicks, they shed the hard facts of life and yearn for that enhanced importance which in- vests the paying guest in new sur- roundings. Whether the means of vacation have been painfully squeezed from meagre pay or taken from stock market winnings, the new car, im- pressive luggage and sweet raiment acquired by payment of the first in- stalment or by hunks of cash on the line, tourists fare forth to their brief hour of grandeur with a braced self- esteem which should be the first concern and care of all who want to see them back again. A tourist may get the highest bridge score, pocket the most at poker, win in the regatta, capture the golf prize, and catch the biggest fish, but if he goes home with an injured or ailing ego, the place that knew him avill know him no more. Slumber-sure beds and_ replete meals are essential but nothing adds to profits like the bolstering of the ers. Rich and poor they are engaged in an adventure to enhance both health and prestige. Tourists, common people at home among their peers, become uncom-~ mon by virtue of brief leisure and sufficient funds. They require the simple ministrations and tactful ob- servations that elevate a shipping clerk to an executive who could ill be spared and who may receive a wire to return any day, and that make of every file clerk a private secretary whose chief will do little but chew his nails until she returns to straighten things out for him. Never should a tourist be given the impression that the hosts are more than poor drudges whose single aim is the pleasure of their guests and whose only reward is appreciation. No inkling of the fact that the proprietors thmselves will be tourists in Florida in the coming 'winter should ever be permitted to enter the minds of guests whose egos feed upon the envy they be- lieve gnaws at the hearts of those who provide their comfort and en- tertainment. ; There are thousands of ways in which the tourist ego may be sooth- ed and fed but none more effective than. the oblique compliment. new car with a big tank stops at-a self-esteem of the visiting vacation-|_ Turn Those Empty Bottles Into Money Everybody likes Kist Beverages -- why not help make them more plentiful and profit your- self at the same time by turning in your empty bottles for cash at your grocery store or any Kist dealer.
