Any- thing I might say would mean 0 little to many and be totally inade- quate to others, There is inequal- fty of thought regarding Remem- brance Day just as there was ine- quality of sacrifice during the war, That is inevitable, human nature and the forces of war being what they are, * * . Yesterday was the first Sunday for our new minister. He had been a padre for six and a half years and I thought how fitting it was that he should conduct his first civilian church service on Remem- brance Day Sunday. | felt as 1 listened that there was more elo- quence in what he left unsaid than In what he actually said, I think you know what I mean, For in- stance he mentioned Dieppe very briefly and then concluded -- "1 was there a few weeks ago--1 will tell you about that sometime." In the front seats of the Church there were about fifteen little boys, who, during the singing of the pre- sermon hymn, marched down the visle in single file, the first little fellow holding aloft the banner-- "Feed My Lambs". They were wich bright, happy little chaps and ws I watched them I wondered if there were any among them whom the war had orphaned -- all of them were young enough to be war-babies. [ also wondered what were the prospects for the future of these "lambs" as a result of the Peace conference that we hear so much about, * * * Well, of course, Remembrance Day brings us well into November --and that means Christmas will be here before we can turn around. Maybe it is my fancy, or maybe it Is just me, but I feel that there is definitely a more Christmassy feel- Ing abroad these days than there has been for many years. Not only that but I notice a decided tenden- ey towards handmade gifts--with diamond socks leading the way! 1 am even hoping to get in the run- ning myself, However before our Canadian friends are looked after there are Old "Country relatives to think about, especially as the deadline for sending parcels is fast ap- proaching, I have heen picking up a thing here and there for months, Last weck I got some nice stock- Ings. Not nylons -- for everyday wear I hardly think nylons would go over so well with our English friends. A woman, recently re- turned from overseas, tells me that most of the stockings "over there" are cotton and not full-fashioned, so that in a little while there is no fit or shape to them at all. As for food--well we know that practical- ly anything nice to eat is accept- able.

Pin plainly SIZE, NAME, AD- RESS, STYLE NUMBER, By you are curious about the kind of parcels that the Post Office has to deal with just keep your eyes open near Christmas time and you will see parcels that make you wonder if they will ever get to their destina- tion intact. For mailing overseas we have to be extra careful. I have found that the easiest and safest way to pack a parcel is to sew a piece of flour sack, or other strong cotton goods, right around the parcel, writing the name and address right on the cot- ton, using a wax crayon for the purpose. Then finish with wrap- ping paper--double thickness--and strong twine. Write the name and address in several places so that if one place is torn there are still other directions to help the pre- cious package on its way. * * * Partner and I are feeling very pleased with ourselves -- and the wetter it gets the more we pat our- selves on the back. You sce, last Saturday we moved the pullets to their winter quarters. We debated about it because they were quite content with their liberty. But the pen was ready so we put them in it, But it wasn't done quite that quickly, Oh, no. To finish the job I had to climb right inside the range shelter to catch the birds while Parner and Bob did the car- rying. And it has been raining ever since, So, not only are the pullets better off but we are saved the joy of slithering around in the mud to feed them -- which is what we would have been doing had we left them where they were, Subs To Explore Atlantic Depths Research May Be Of Great Importance To Future Ocean Travel A 4,000 mile trip among the valleys and mountains that lie be- neath the ocean's surface is being conducted this month by British explorers using the submarine H.M.S. Tudor. N ® » One project is exploration of the ridge of "high" rock which runs across the Atlantic between North America and Britain and makes a convenient lane of comparatively shallow water in which the trans- Atlantic phone cables are laid. The expedition hopes to establish the nature of this ridge, and find out whether it is similar In geological formation to the land masses found above the surface. Radar equipment of special de- sign also will be carried to furnish data of help to oil experts now con- cerned with attempts to find oil that is known to lie beneath many parts of the ocean bed. * * » It is quite possible that the re- search now being conducted may be of extreme importance to future marine travel. There is a growing body of opinion in Britain that be- lieves ships of the future will travel under the water rather than on its surface. Designers and mariners who say this point to the fact that ordinary ships have to be built to stand the caprices of winds and weather, against which a large percentage of their available space is taken up by protective shoring. They say the new forms of propulsion now avail- able, the Diesel and jet-engines, will make it far more economical and practical for cargo ships of the future to use the perpetually calm water to be found less than 100 feet beneath the surface. These men envisage long tube- shaped cargo vessels gliding under the oceans, under the ice-packs and the icebergs. With the resources of radar and other forms of elec- tronic navigators, the underwater ship of large size is becoming a definite possibility. Canadians Become U.S. Residents During 12 months of 1945-46, ending June 30, more than 18,000 native-born Canadians became per- manent residents of the United States, according to figures given by the Toronto Financial Post. Of this number 6,395 were profession- al people, business executives, clerks and skilled workers, We hear much about the need of Canada getting immigrants. Should we hear so much about it while the cream of our own people are cross- ing to the United States? And why did these Canadians feave Canada? One answer is glv- en by the executive vice-president of British-American Oil: "Our firm has lost several good men to the United States in the past two or three years. The lure dangled before the men the Am- ericans want Is higher pay and lower income tax. The general feeling Is that there 1s little pros- pect of real alleviation of taxation in Canada during this generation." U. S.

In pie language, the upper crust may be out of fashion nowadays with fats still scarce, but the bot- tom crust can still be of top quality, tender, crisp and good cnough to eat to the last crumb, To prevent the bottom crust from becoming soggy and tough when baking an uncooked filling such as a custard, pre-cook the crust for ten minutes before adding the custard, then bake the pie at a moderate temperature until the custard is set. With fruit pies, the illusion of an upper crust can be given by using the trimmings of dough and criss-crossing them over the filling. The fillings for both the lemon cream pie and the chocolate topped pie may be scrved as desserts in- stead of being used to make onc crust pies, CHOCOLATE TOPPED PIE 1 baked 9 in. pie shell 134 cups milk 1 envelope plain, unflavored gala- tine (1 tbsp.) 14 cup cold water 2 eggs 14 cup granulated sugar 14 teaspoon salt } 14 teaspoon nutmeg (optional) 12 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 tblsp. grated chocolata Scald milk in top of double- boiler.

Cool and serve. icobac LIT of Tob Highlights of the News U.S. Kills Controls Labor and management--free of government curbs after five years --held the key to America's econ- omic future as President Trueman heaped the junk pile with wage and price controls. Only ceilings on rents, sugar and rice survived the chief executive's sweeping decontrol action. And fed- eral officials termed rent increases "inevitable." In killing off all other controls in a weekend order, Mr. Trueman said: "I am convinced that their fur- ther continuance would do the na- tion's economy more harm than good." At the same time the chief exe- cutive placed "squarely upon man- agement and labor" the "responsi- bility" for economic stability. His decontrol edict brought im- mediate promises from industry and 'business leaders that prices will be held at reasonable levels-- after a period of adjustment. But some of these leaders tem- pered their pledges with a big "if" --if wage demands don't upset the applecart. CIO President It was learned in- Washington that Philip Murray had consented to be drafted again as CIO presi- dent. He hopes, it was said, to pre- vent the CIO from being split on the Communist issue and to elimin- ate extreme Leftist control, Gandhi on Reduced Diet Despite a "semi-starvation" diet for the past 10 days Mohandas K. Gandhi is able thus far to attend to his regular work. The already gaunt and thin spiri- tual leader of the All-India Con- gress party, who has threatened to fast until death unless peace is restored in Bihar Province, has lost five pounds since starting a reduced diet. 5,000 Police Guard King The King opened a new session of Parliament under = exceptional precautions with an announcement that the Labor Government will nationalize electricity and the in- land transportation system. Five thousand police, reinforced by Welsh Guards and plainclothes detectives, guarded the Houses of Parliament and the processional route against possible assassination attempts by Jewish extremists. Plainclothes officers and uni- formed police lined the King's route to Westminster, Security pre- cautions against threats of the Irgun Zvai Leumi and Stern gang Jewish - organizations surpassed even those taken during the Irish Republican Army uprising. Small- arms were issued to plainclothes reinforcements--probably for the first time since the I.R.A. disturb- ances. All police leaves were can- celled. Jewish extremists have threaten- ed the lives of several British offi- cials, according to london news- papers, and one anonymous tele- phone call reportedly relayed a threat to blow up the war office in Whitehall unless police policies in Palestine were changed. 1948 World Trade Fair Canada's first international trade fair is to be held in the Coliseum in Toronto the first two weeks of June, 1948, Invitations to particit- pate are going to Canadian export firms and to foreign firms inter- ested. in a Canadian market. Plans were announced by Hon. J. A. MacKinnon, Trade Minister, in an address to the third annual meeting of the Canadian Ixport- ers Association.
