(By Mrs. Katharine Strachan) Cn each ficor there was a small kitchen with a tiny electric cooker on which anv ohne could supplement the camp rations with extra cooking. Needâ€" le= to say it was hardly idle a minute of the dayv, and finally a schedule had to be drawn up for each rocm‘s mornâ€" ing and afterncon cup of tea. Without much persuasion one fell easily into the habit o‘ dalicious little snacks at almost anv hour of the day, a handful of raisins perhaps or a nice fat Canâ€" adian biscuit topped with chesse. After lunrch we mixed up, each to her own taste, a "Liekenau Spocial," a frothy eonecction of powdered milk, cocoa, sugar and water which rivalled in goodâ€" ness the milk shakes of any soda founâ€" tain artist. Not good for the liver, ‘"my dears!" warned one of the older memâ€" bers} of our narty, but we considered the immediate satisfactory _ result well worth the risk. Any anniversary or birthday served as an excuse for a party anrnd then the clever cooks exerâ€" cised their ingenuity, producing the most wonderful cakes and cookies with at least ons or more important ingredâ€" ient misjsing. ‘Others would take over the preparation of the meats and vegâ€" etables and perhaps deoviss a custard or jelly dessert. The artists produced place cards and arranged the flowers colâ€" lected on the afterncon walk. Someâ€" times we could buy beer at the cantsen and then toasts would follow the feast the favourite which had originated on the prison train being: ‘"King ‘George of England and King George of Grsece!" Such a party tcok place on the eve of our departure from the camp in the flagâ€"bedecked dining room on cur flcor. It was an occasion of joy for the Canadians who had been released but it meant leaving all our gcod friends in the camp and especially the eleven with whom we had shared so manry adventures, joys and sorrows during months of companionâ€" ship. instaliment of an article by Mrs. Kathâ€" arin> Strachan, neice of Mr. J.

We had heard so much about Germany‘s meagre food rations that we took as many Red ‘Cross supplies with us as it was possible to carry. After a few weeks in Berlin, we were informed, much to sur consternation, that exit permits could not be granted to us. Since Canâ€" ada does not intern German women we had been releas>d from the camp, but cnly to live in Germany until an exâ€" change could be arranged. We stayed in a small hotel and because we had little money ecoked most of our meals on a small electris vlate. It was imposâ€" sibl> to buy pots and pans and we used for cooking utensils the now famous "Klim tins‘"‘ from our Canadian parrels.
