recently pleasantly surprised to see a well- worn bible in the home of the people he was visiting the book evidently was being used considerably the sight was so unusual in these days when too often religion is pushed far into the background that he studied the children in that family during his stay they were in telligent friendly and unselfish unusually so the bible was worn like a dictionary in a newspaper office the cover was gone the pages were thumbed and curled and many passages were marked here indeed was a treasured book one that evidently gave the readers comfort inspiration and happiness it was a home where family prayers were held at least on sunday and often on other days where grace was said before meals and where sunday was just that a family day and a day of rest see bumper wheat crop the prairie wheat crop could top 500 million bushels this year a figure reached only three times in history 1928 1940 1942 this despite almost dangerously late seed ing in some areas this would compare with 337 million bushels last year 528 million in 1942 granted immunity from frost which can do much dam age any time in august and considerable damage in sep tember reasonable hopes by provinces can now be put at manitoba 60 million bushels saskatchewan 325 million alberta 115 million and each of these totals could be surpassed for both manitoba and saskatchewan these figures rep resent possibility of a bumper yield albertas outlook is somewhat less brilliant because of setbacks early in the season making a bumper crop impossible a better-than- average yield is still possible however family reunions during the vacation period memorial park stouffville and ratcliff park on the townline west have been the scene of many family gatherings they are reunions wherein members of the same common family stock assemble to enjoy the blessings of common ancestry it is the accent upon the family life which is so valuable in these days wherein forces rampant in the world would destroy all family life in favor of state rule over the indi vidual as long as families can keep together they will live the sort of lives which will continue to make this country great and desirable to live in these assemblies are all too few although in the markhamstouffville district we are blessed with a good many family groups who meet annually under the bond of a common name and who realize just how important it is for individuals to take pride in their family branch and strive to better the family accomplishments national parks canadas 26 national parks scattered from coast to coast are too little known by canadians they total 29000 square miles the latest addition being fundy park in new brunswick an 80squaremile tract that skirts the bay of fundy for eight miles the parks are areas of natural beauty and were estab lished primarily for the preservation of the unspoiled natur al landscape and for the protection of the natural wild life the discovery of a mineral spring bubbling from sul phur mountain when engineers were planning the cpr led to the establishment of canadas first national park this was a 10squaremile area at banff set apart in 1885 the largest park is wood buffalo in northern alberta and the northwest territories in addition alberta richly endowed in more ways than one has two great parks ad jacent to one another in jasper and banff these comprise over 5000 square miles of the finest scenery in canada and a good deal of it can be seen from the seat of an auto mobile as can the beautiful yoho valley in british columbia- v province in canada except newfoundland has at least one national park and it is a pity that canadians do not make greater use of them the herds of wild life in them are outstanding the scenery beyond description and the government has kept the cost to the tourist at an amaz ingly low figure americans proportionately seem to appreciate cana das parks more than canadians do but perhaps that situ ation will be remedied when the transcanada highway is a reality the tastes the test for teal canadians buy more salada than any other brand maiiaiia tea for parents only milk ix a childs diet by nancy cleaver johnny has gone on a as mashed potatoes in custards puddings junket and ice cream evaporated dried and condensed milkj naiiij may he used in cookfhg and strike im sure i don t know i i ti what to do with him milk is such an important drink for a child that ive always given him a gen erous serving and urged him to drink it up but just this week he has flatly refused not only to finish up his milk but to drink it at all the more 1 coax or scold or threaten the more stubborn he is what will i do asked mrs jones refusing to drink milk can be a very perplexing problem how should a mother cope with it she should try to discover why johnny does not want to drink his milk and in the future avoid this cause if possible perhaps mother has been too insistent on his drink ing milk and also on many other things which do not matter and here is one place johnny can defy her successfully johnny may be feeling a bit neglected because mother has been very busy with other duties and he has discovered that refusing milk is a sure way to focus mothers attention on him it may be that mother has been expecting johnny to drink more milk than he can naturally desire after a hearty meal johnny may not be feeling very well and his appetite is affected or he may have heard father or some other adult expressing a dislike for milk johnnys mother has discovered that coaxing scolding and threat ening are equally ineffective the right way for mrs jones to handle this situation is to ignore it at the same time she tan include as much milk as possible in the foods she is preparing and gradually per suade johnny to forget he is on strike the best teaching is by example if mother and johnny can enjoy milk together perhaps disguised in an eggnog a milk shake a chocolate drink or cocoa he will have his daily quota and in time will likely want plain milk too mothers sometimes make the mistake of thinking of milk only as a drink and not as a food they bakin because milk is precious not a drop should be wasted if it has turned sour there are many re cipes for muffins pancakes etc which use it or motner can follow her cook books directions and pro duce cottage cheese milk must have good home care because it is among the most perishable of foods pasteurized milk should be purchased from a reliable dairy tne bottle should be washed off and wiped dry before opening never leave milk standing on the doorstep espec ially if the sun falls there or open in a room the place for milk is in the coldest place in the refriger ator ice box or cellar mothers in rural areas and families on vaca tion may find it necessary to carry out the home pasteurizing method of boiling milk for three minutes chilling quickly and keeping it cold and covered milk should be sipped slowly it should never be gulped down quickly to quench thirst on a hot day when this happens the gas tric juice of the stomach is apt to form milk curds which are tough and large and thus are difficult and slow to digest children love drinking through a straw mother can make a little game of taking small sips and pausing between them a child likes his own special mug and the nursery rhyme dishes for children which can be pur chased make food more attractive as a parent you are likely con vinced that milk is essential for good health the proteins build bone and muscle and repair the bodys wear and tear the fats and sugar give heat and energy the calcium phosphorus lime and other mineral salts help make bones and teeth blood and tissue while the water is used by the body to carry off waste but in your very enthusiasm for milk the perfect food dont force a child to drink a certain quantity with every meal the more likely he is to oppose you by new ontario health minister sworn in new minister of

reminds me in 1885 mr john dowswell taught the ballantrae school he decided to take a holiday and help the scholars beautify the school yard he dug up the earth for a flower bed telling the girls to bring seeds if they wished to plant them ho went into the nearby bush with some of the boys to choose 12 straight young maple trees which emergency some are holiday- he and the boys planted in a ring the trees are still there quite tall but on account of the light soil and their proximity they are not as large in the girth as one would expect for 05 years old subscriber bound some businessbound when i have room i give any of them a ride provided that i am going far enough to help them any that is who are not parked outside a drinking place in most cases i find the ride was really needed and nearly always deeply appre ciated i do not recommend this degree of generosity to all motorists some may have good grounds for fear certainly a motorist has every right to passby every hitchhiker and he in turn has no grounds for illwill i resent however the effort being made by many to scare us so completely that we re gard hitchhikers as potential crim inals we will not deny there is a degree of danger it is probably no greater than the risk a farmer takes around his team every day you also take a chance every time you take the family out for a week end drive although i am no lon ger a
