(By Edna Jaques) Beating our swords into plowshares is never easy. The soldier has had his thinking.] deficient done for him for so long that he has to get used to thinking for himself again. The boy who left school to join up has never known what it is to earn his living. The only job he ever had was war. Now that this is < Europe at least--what will he do next? Back of his mind there is a pet scheme. Maybe he wants to run a service station, have a restaurant, grocery store, carpenter shop, garage, or go to University to complete his course. Perhaps he was a truck driver in Italy or Europe and the freedom of the road and fresh air is in his blood now. Maybe a farm in the West appeals to him. The wide open spaces look good--fresh and clean. Thanks to Canada's stable currency and control of prices his chances of getting a start are good. Johnny Canuck returning from the last war didn't have this national protection. The cost of living had gone up and his gratuity didn't go half as far as he thought it would. He'd had time in the four years spent in the muddy trenches of France to do a lot of figuring, but his figures were all wrong when he got home. He had based his calculations on the prices of 1914 and the answers were cockeyed now. Even after he got home--two long years after--the cost of everything kept going up and up and Johnny was beaten on the home front. He didn't have a chance. As one veteran said, "There is one I great apparent difference between thi* war and the last. We thought! "the first world war was over whei the fighting stopped. This time know better." We know that the danger zone is ahead. Between now and 1950, the foundations of a new world order will be laid. You will be one of the As a very wise man has said, "It will be peace or chaos." RED CROSS NUTRITION NEWS THE CITRUS FRUITS Vitamin C is one of the important protective food factors most often the average diet. It is needed to promote general good health, to make body tissues healthier ^specially the bones, teeth, gums and blood vessels. Every bit of vitamin C, or ascorbic acid as it is also know, comes from food, and as it cannot be stored by the body, it must be eaten every day to maintain healthful intake. Some fruits have more vitamin C than others. Tomatoes and citrus fruits such as grapefruit, oranges, lemons and limes are the high rank ers. Canada's food rules call for one high ranker every day and one other kind of fruit either dried, canned or fresh. Oranges peeled and sliced, or halved and eaten out of the shell are a pleasant change from orange juice. They also fit into the lunch or dinner menu as a refreshing dessert, however, Johnny likes his oranges juiced, buy small "juice" oranges instead of bigger ones and stretch your pennies further. Orange juice squeezed the night before loses little vitamin C if kept cold and covered, but if prepared too long tn advance changes flavour and begins to ferment. Fruits are a spur to the appetite and on torrid summer days when meal interest is flagging, combine these fruit flavours in a snappy C-salad. Orange-Prune Jellied Salad 1 tablespoon gelatine i cup cold water--Soak 5 minutes Add Vz cup orange juice, heated but not boiled. Stir to dissolve gelatin. Add % cup unheated orange juice, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, Vk cup sugar, salt. Fill molds with half of the jelly. When it begins to stiffen place in each mould a slice of orange topped with a cooked prune stuffed with cream or cottage cheese. Cover with remaining jelly. Chill. Serve with mayonnaise.

Our Text-- "When thou walkest through the Our Verse-- "When through the fiery trials thy pathway shall lie, Thy grace all-sufficient shall thy supply. The flames shall not hurt thee I only design Thy dross to consume and Ihy gold to refine."--Kepel. Our There is an ancient story of three young Hebrew men, who, because of their loyalty to God, were cast into a fiery furnace. Their enemies were amazed that the fire did not consume them, but greater still was the wonder that a fourth figure of Divine description was seen amid the flames. That ancient story, whether you take it as historical fact or poetical parable, is an illustration of our text that God guards His people even in the furnace of fiery affliction, or persecution. The trial of fire may destroy the body of the Christian but it can only make the spirit shine with a purer and cleaner light of, loyalty. The fiercer burns the fire of persecution or adversity about people of God the COMING EVENTS Watch for further announcement of a Rummage Sale to be held later in the summer by the ladies of the W.
