Do Not Disturb Women Never Grow Old Few women would say that woman's best age can be past 60, but a recent discussion of man's best age, prompted by criticism of Roosevelt's years has produced an imposing list of great men who did their greatest work, not only in their 60's but also in their 70's and 80's. The Italian composer, Verdi, produced Othello at " arurGoethe at 82 put the finidhing touches on Faust. At 80, Euripides ,the Greek drama- tist, wrote the Bacchae, which many consider his greatest play. If there are women who believe that man is never too old to learn, they will perhaps be more interested in the fact that the first Commodore Vanderbilt made $100,000,000 between 70 and 83. There have been women, too, Who have won fame late in life. Cato learned Greek at 80 and at the same age, Queen Victoria learned Hindustani, and at 89 the famous Clara Barton took up typewriting, So perhaps women can grow old with just as much grace and distinction as men. Thursday, February 15, 1945. These earnest little Brownies are threading needles for the Red Cross. Thousands of Brownies and Girl Guides have been busily engag- ed assisting in the war effort since the outbreak of hostilities. Boy Scout - Girl Guide Week is February 18th to 24th. Some adults, as well as children, have an "it its good for me I won't like it" attitude toward their food. Probably a psychologist could explain why they are immediately on the defensive when a solicitous mother or wife sets something on the table pointing out that it is "good for you." To say "you must eat it" seems to antagonize the potential eater to begin with and the phrase "it's good for you" sets the final seal of disapproval on it. Wise Mother Can Make Child Want Healthful Foods It may be a carry-over from minor childhood illnesses when the phrase "you must take it because it is good for you" was accompanied by a large spoonful of something that tasted as if it had been brewed by the witches for Hallowe'en. Consequently it has taken a good deal of coaxing to get some peo- ple into the habit of eating what is good for them. Sometimes hero- worship will do it. Millions of youngsters will eat spinach because their favourite comic strip character Pop-Eye recommends it. More often though, it' is the quality of the product combined with eye-appeal and appetizing flavour which will do it. Fortunately one of the most health-giving food groups has both these qualities. These are the ready-to-serve breakfast cereals which are definitely "good for you" but which are so appetizing that it is not necessary to stress their health-giving qualities when serving them. They too have "eye appeal" which means the food can be set down as a, treat instead of with the threat "if you don't eat it you can't have any dessert with your dinner to-night". These ready-to-serve cereals are, of course, best known as break- fast foods and luckily there are enough varieties of them that there need be no monotony. Their keeping qualities are good, so that if a change is indicated after several mornings of corn flakes, the rest of the package can safely be set aside while another type, such as rice can be used instead. However, those mothers whose youngsters still get stubborn will find that all these pre-cooked cereals can be combined in other dishes. They will go into cakes, pies, puddings, meat dishes and candy. In some dishes they are recognizable, in others it is impossible to know they are there except for the greater richness of flavour which they impart to the dish. - Actually the clever mother can make these pre-cooked cereals part of the "treat"-the.reward for eating what she wanted the child to eat-and the youngster will get his energy in spite of himself-Auld love it, Mainly For GIRL GUIDES AND BROWNIES AID WAR EFFORT MILAD Y famous after-dinner speaker, attributed his Hello Homemakers! A Valen- tine's Day Party may be in the offing at your home, in which case you will already be thinking of special menus. To any homemaker the success of a party depends to a large extent on food - carefully planned and prepared. If you are entertaining the "Teen-Agers" at a buffet supper, here are some food fancies we especially like, because they are so decorative and so easily prepared. Potato Salad In setting up Potato Salad for 1ralentine's Day we use beets for a basis. Slivers of cooked beets are steeped for 20 mins. in hot vinegar to which a bag of whole spices has been added. When chilled, put in lettuce cups placed in heart-shaped design on a, platter. Press potato salad around to keep the lettuce in position. The salad could be serv- ed in the centre of a large platter‘ surrounded by assorted cold cuts.) Spread each slice of meat with cheese filling (use cottage or cream cheese mixed with salad dressing and seasonings), then roll and se- cure with toothpick. Relish Tray This platter could be accom- panied with a relish tray made up of small gherkins, celery curls dip- ped in paprika, and thin triangles of white turnip. Chill in separate containers in the electric refriger- ator for one-half hour before serv- mg. Glaze for Rolls If you want a rich glaze to dress up ordinary rolls, measure lk cup butter and 'A cup corn syrup into a. saucepan. Boil for 3 minutes then pour over the rolls. This glaze will top 12 rolls. An upside-down Prune Square, served hot, is just about the pret- tiest hot bread we make.

These are some of the things every man overseas is fighting for today. They won't be his, unless all of us make sure, when our fighting man comes back, his dollar will be worth a dollar. To protect his dollar, we must realize NOW the dangers of care- less, unnecessary buying.

To petal the cherries, drain well then out up to- ward the centre into 5 petals. The cherries and prunes should make a regular pattern. Roll out two 8 inch squares of dough, either tea biscuit or bread, about % inch thick. Cut each in four strips. The first four strips lay crosswise of the pan; the second four strips weave lengthwise of the pan so that when finished it looks like a piece of rather amateur mending. Bake in a hot electric oven for 15 minutes, then reduce the heat and finish baking. Invert while still warm so that all the butterscotch mixture glazes over the square. Serve warm.

But, if we keep up the fight against inflation, he can look forward to pleasant, satisfying living . . . the Canadian way of life. ed, but, the freezing industry had made such rapid strides in Canada, the United States, and elsewhere that it had undoubtedly come to stay. The reason for this expan- sion was that freezing gave the greatest opportunity for the high- est quality and palatability thus, ap- proaching the fresh product more closely than other methods/now in practice. Up to date, the bulk of fruits and vegetables used in the frozen fruit trade has been used by commercial processors for distribution to hotels, restaurants, and bakers, and in a more limited degree to the retail trade. Because the product must be stored at zero temperature, its shelf life was of short duration, but nevertheless the consumption of frozen fruits and vegetables had reached the comparatively high level of 17.2 million pounds in 1943. In other words, while there had been no marked advance in the consumption of canned goods, the frozen product in Canada had more than doubled in the past tIve years. (lyl'lillu'lllllls At the present time there was another angle that was attracting much attention, namely, the pos- sibility of providing freezer space in the home. The day was not far distant, said Mr. Davis, when a freezer in the average home would be as much a necessity as a wash- ing machine or household refrig- erator. The advent of the house..

The preparation of the fruit and vegetables was so simple and took such a short time that it oftered special attractions to the home owner. In addition, the re- sulting product was so superior that the possibilities were beyond imagination. One freezer unit es- tablised in a small home in Ottawa was the object of much interest. Already the family's consumption of strawberries, raspberries, peach- es, cherries, blueberries, peas corn, beans, and broccoli had been in- creased many fold, and all this had been done at a total cost not greater than was formerly paid for an elaborate 9 cubic foot household refrigerator.
