THURSDAY APRIL ît, 1943THE CANADIAN STATESMAN, BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO PG HE Harvey Balson Has Birthday Overseas Congratulations are in order for Instructor Harvey Glen Balson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Balson, of Hampton, who celebrated bis 25th birthday overseas on Mon- day, March 22. While his parents live some miles from Oshawa, Harvey was empioyed for a time by Robert Barrett as a truck driver there and is well-known thraughout this part of Durham. Born at Zion, he received his education at Zion Public Schooi and for three years he worked on the farm with his father. For two years he worked ae a thresher with Harvey Cross- »dîn. Enlisting a year ago last Sep- tember, he joined the Ordnance BUSY YOUNGSTERS NEED... ENERGY-GIVING FOOD Youngsters between 2 and 6 are often tihe "busiest" people i thse worid.

His experience as a driver resuited in his rapid pro- motion and he is now an instruc- tor and is on convoy work. In March of last year he was married to Emma Killen, daugh- ter of 'Mr. and Mrs. Robert Killen, of Zion. Since he arrlved over- seas a son has been born. This happy event took place at thse Oshawa General Hospital two months ago. TIME FOR PLANNING THE HOME GARDEN It's now time to plan the home or community vegetable garden. Insistance of using good dlean seed and the rotation of plantings apply with equal force to such a garden as to the farm. It pays to get the best seed possible, and the saving of a few cents in the purchase of seed is flot profitable as a rule. One ounce of ceiery seed may produce 2,000 plants ôr more; one ounce of tomato seed, 1,500 to 2,000 plants; and an ounce of cabbage or cauliflower seed, 1,500 plants or more. Just as with farm crops, vege- tables in the home garden should flot be grown on the same plot of ground year after year. Onions may be continued on the same soil for several years, and so may vine crops. With cabbages and tur- nips, however, rotation is particu- lariy necessary to keep club-root disease in check. It is a good plan ta place the vine crops in the centre, and place thse other vegetables on each side. Generally, asparagus and rhubarb and other perennial vegetables are planted at tise edge of the garden, aliow- ing sufficient room for cultivation between the edge and the plants. Ideas For Lunches Wanted by Housewives Lunches loom mighty important in the life of the man or woman who works in thse munitions plant. They present a probiema for tise person who prepares them. Sand- wiches are the backbone, but after a few weeks of sandwiches, lunches become uninteresting. Several requests for ideas for lunches have been made to one of our local doctors. He passed the thought along ta us that the preparation of lunches may be a problem ta many and perhaps some of aur readers might like ta exchange ideas. If you have a favorite lunch or a lunch that is different write out what it contains and send it in to The Statesman. We will print as many as we can. We will help you by printing the suggestions, so if you keep your account short and t6 tise point it will help us greatly. MRS. J. THICKSON SPEAKS CLOTHING CONSERVATION Bowmanville Women's Institute met in the Parish Hall, Thursday, with a good attendance of memn- bers and a few visitors. Fifty dollars was voted ta provide jam or honey in co-operation with the Red Cross and tise draw for a quilt will be held at the April meeting. Mrs. Alex. Colvifle and Miss Ar- line Northcutt sang several very appropriate solos with Mrs. Edwin Wood as accompanist. The topic "Conservation of, Clothing in Wartime" was aut- lined by Mrs. J. Thickson, whoode- scribed fifty specific suggestions for re-modelling suits, dresses etc., as advocated by thse Consumer Branch, Wartime Prices and Trade Board. Mrs. Chas. Betties and Miss Hilda Simneik who were both un- avoidably absent, were convenors of the program. MR. L. W. DIPPELL SPEAKS AT TRINITY UNION L. W. Dippeil deiighted memn- bers of Trinity Young People's Union Monday evening when hie gave an entertaining and informai talk under thse leading "Habits." Most of us realize that habits are acquired, but we should cuitivate and reward the good impulses. Good habits lead ta gaod citizens and that is the ainxr of rnost young people. "There are four types of habit," said Mr. Dippeil. "First, whera the performance is pleasant and the resuit pleasant, then where the performance is pleasant and the resuit unpieasant, also where the performance is unpleasant and the resuit pleasant and wisere the performance is unpleasant and the resuit unpieasant," explained the speaker. To give these points further proof, Mr. Dippeil men- tioned the foliowing four ex- amples: Games, eating, music, the ability ta play an instrument, and burns or accidents. The lat- ter, of course, is neyer an acquired habit. Types of habits were discussed such as punisising pupils at scisool by givine them arîthmetic. This tends ta bring a dislike for the subi ect, whereas pupils should en- jay their studies whila at school. Then we acquire habits of good speiiing and goad English by see- ing and hearing mistakes. Would we realize aur errors in speiling if we neyer saw a word spelled in- carrectly? An excellent habit ta cultivate is being "on time." The writer re- members with pride whila attend- ing Bowmnnvilia High Scisool, someone stating that High Scisool entertainments always start on time. It is a good habit and schoi is one place where this is aiways brought before tise students. Other habits mentioned were "poiiteness", wisich is neyer ac- quired suddenly. One cannot be polite on certain occasions, then forget about it entjrely. It can be said that no one ever lost any- thing through being palite. "Cor- rect speaking" adds much ta one's personaiity. AvoId slang, for the use of slang admits the iack of mental power ta expresss thoughts and ideas. One bad habit is "for- getfulness." Mr. Dippeli advised tisat ench persan should help him- self, train a good memory and keep tise mind alert. "Be ob- servant" and "use spare time cor- rectly" were other gaod habits which remind us tisat we should read inteliigentiy, vary tise choice of books we read and learn ta think independently. If a persan fails to use isis powers of thought, they become less and less. The habit of thinking can be cultivated by memarizing good verse. Mem- ory Gems are of inestimable value in years ta came. Finaliy, tise habit of "cheerfu]ness" braught forth the idea that we shouid dis- cuss affairs of mutual benefit ta self, family and tise world and do not criticize. Helen Pritchard extênded tise thanks of tise Union to Mr. Dippeli for isis timely and thought-provok- ing address. Business period was conducted by President Doris Dudley. An announcement was made regard- ing tise Presbytery Rally ta be held in Brooklin on Snturday, April lOtis. Rev. J. E. Griffith will be tise theme speaker and his address wili be "In Which We Serve." Tise Christian Citizenship con-1 venor, Helen Pritchard, was in charge of tise program. Master Teddy Hailman thougi o nliy three years old, captivated iss audience by singing three num- bers. This was Teddy's first ap- pearance before a graup of people, but we are sure ha isas begun his career as a vocalist. He was ac- companied by isis mother, Mrs. Russell Hailman. Anather clever, tnlented musician appenring on tise program was Ray Dudley. His interpretation of Prelude by Peel and Cisopin's Minute Waitz were deiightful. Tise final number was an excellent vocal solo by Miss Lilianne Nayior, accompanied by Lynn Oke. Tise service of warship was con- ducted by Doris Dudley on tise tiseme "That they ail may be one." Scripture reading by Helen Pritchs- ard and meditations by Lynn Oke, Ada Clark and Louise Hircock. An enjoyable period of recrea- tion was conducted by Jack Dunnn and Bert Johnston.

Yes, tise fat that pro- vides energy for growth and activ- ity of tise human body also pro- vides energy which fires sheils from guns. Be vary sure ta use available food fats ta their fullest extent- for keeping your family strong and enargatic, salvaging every spoanful lef t over. No arnount of fat is tao little ta sava, 50 urgent is the country's need for glycerine. Every paund saved will praduce enougis glycerine ta fire tan rounds from a 50-calibre nirplane cannan -pointed at the enemy. Two tablespoons of fat a day is the requirement for each adut- obtainad fram creamn, lard, butter, sisorlening, park trimmings or randared fats. A family of twa needs 13/ lbs. of fat per wek - inciuding butter allowance (which is ample at prasent) and fat for cooking. Each child under 12 years requires from 1/ lb. to nearly a pound, depending on aga and size. Less frying and mare broiling means a more thrifty use of fats. Meals will be pleasantly rich and easily digsted-tbe kind tise farn- ily enjoys. Wisan food needs are taken care of, strain yaur left- over fats into a wide-rnouthed can for salvage. It only takes 31 tablaspoons of fat ta make a paund-one table- spoon a day for a 31-day montis. Whan a pound bas accumulated. take i tot your ment denier - ha will pay you for it and turn ht over toan rendering plant ta be made into taliow. Tha tallow is sent ta soap manufacturers, for it is in tisa soap-mnking that tisa glycerine is extrncted from the fat. Tise glycer- ina, in its turn, is sent on ta the explosive manufacturers - and a shaîl wili wbîna its way toward tise enemy with the belp of youx fat. It takes time ta make fat into glycerine, so take your tin of fat in today.

M Life in tise Canadian Woman's Army Corps continues ta absorb me and I have neyer been mare happy. Incidentally, the regular- ity of the life and tise ten-thirty curfew are agreeing with me. 0f course, a couple of nigists every week I arn entitled ta a late pass expiring at midnight, but aven so. I have neyer befora lead sucis a regular life and I am brimming ovar witis vima and vigor. I attended rny first N.C.O. meet- ing last night and arnazed myself by airing my views thoroughly. As you know, speeches are out of my lina, but last night I was really gaing great guns. Perhaps it would have been more seemly for a little lance-corparal ta sit and listan to her betters, but I was carried away. Yau see, tise crowd at No. 7 (aur quarters at Karnptville) take a keen interest in C.W.A.C. policy and they faît that I shauld represent them. I think I put soma of their ideas across, too. After tise N.C.O. meeting we had platoan drill and I isad a wonderful time-my first axperi- ance acting corporal at drill. I said "lait, right, lait, right"' fierce- ly and fait like a sergeant-major. Oh, I had a littie difficulty, once or twice. I called tisa step on the wrong foot and put tise girls off-I couid feel my face turning a ricis tomato, but I survived. I may add that tise inmates of No. 7 were not aboya ragging me about it later when we were having a badtime snack. Frankie iooked at me, har blue eyes dancing, and drawled, "Weil, well, corporal, isaven't you heard? Tisere is a left foot and a right foot. Tise right foot wisen ndvancing is fol- lowed in an orderly fasision by the laft . . . . " Witisaut waiting for more, I tossed a pillow at ber and tisen samehow evaryona was in tise scuffle. However, tisa or- deriy officer chose tisis minute ta nip into No. 7 and we untangled f ast. Dear old Barty bas me worried; sise bas run out of five syllable words. I think I know bar trouble. Sise is visibiy pining for ber wretcbad Cutisbert. I could ciseer- fully wring bis neck. On com- pieting bis course be ga]lantly presanted bher with a frivolous little tome of a thousnnd add pages on tise Ancient Aztec Clviii- zation and after bowing many tirnes witis bis isand on bis iseart, or reasonable facsimile thereof, disappeared inta tisa boundless prairie. Sa naw we have Barty looking like tisa Lily Maid and al but trailing widow's weeds. Evi- dently Cutisbert, with isis enorm- ous words and mental gymnas tics, made quite an impression. Wcll, -Y dear, I have been putting off tise evil moment, but I really must go and do some mending. I find stockings spring isoles very quickly in tisa C.W.A.C. and I don't want the orderly ser-j geant pouncing on me for being improparly dressad. Taka good care of yoursell, Duck, and write soon.

Hub Hooper Gives Pointers On Blackouts "Coming over iscre to the mess ta write this, 1 experienced con- siderable difficulty in finding my way sa I began wondering if Bowmanville had ta go through a practice blackout yet? If you haven't, then you've samething ta look forward ta. Here are a few pointers and conclusion I have ar- rived at in almost two years in England - every nigist a total blackout," writes Sgt. Hub Hooper, C51296, No. 1 C.G.R.U., C.AO., to the Bawrnanville Lions Club. "(1) Before stepping out into the dark close your eyes tight for four or five seconds. When you step out and fali dawn tise steps- don't blama me-you should have opened your eyes first. "(2) If you must go out during the blackout, see that yaur torcis is working good. And ramember ta keep it pointed ta the ground. It's isardly powerful enough ta illuminate enemy aircraft, and the searchlight batteries are very jealaus of their job. Tbey don't need your assistance, tisank you. "(3) My nose bears testimony ta the fact that a dayligist reconnais- ance is a very good habit to get into. Tise streets don't look the same after dark and you'll find that telegraps pales, curbstanes and tise neighbors' steps show you no mercy. "«(4) If you must go out, make sure yau notify Tommy Knight. He could have your insurance all straightened out by daylight. (N.B.-The above is not a com- mercial Mr. Knight). "(5) Have your blackout cur- tains made of good quality ma- terial. Ail the neighbors will want to autograpis them. Especially after the warden bas found fault with them. Incidentaily don't taik back ta a warden when there's a raid on. Usually it isn't a warden at ail and I remember Sid Venton quite weil. "(6) Neyer wear rubber soles and heels and make lots of noise as you walk aiong the street. If you wear rubber then you are isindering the war effort. And if you sneak along, not making a saund, you'll find someone else doing the saine thing. Most of the time it isn't the "nice" young thing who lives next door. "(7) On the other hand, neyer make too much noise or yau'll awaken the neighbors who decid- ed ta go ta bed early just ta avoid the blackout. "(8) Have illuminated buttons sewn on ta your coat. But you mnust ligist them with a candle since electric power would hinder George Chase & Ca. in their fuel- saving drive. "(9) Walk in single file-Indian fashian. We usually fiip a coin ta decide who wili lead the way. THAT Fat! HUEREO*WHATTO DO 1You can take your fat clip- pings, scrap fat and bones to yonx ineat dealer.
