If the centre is soggy but the edges well done? Lower 'temp- erature and longer baking time are indicated," . If the bottom of the cake is burned but top is golden? Check pan you are using. Bakery glass, aluminum or ovenex are best. . If cake has cracks on top? Use a little 1 more liquid. Batter may be too thick, or oven too hot. . If cake fails during baking pe- riod? Check on freshness of baking powder. Do not peek in the oven during baking. . If cake sticks to pan? Grease plain cake tin with shortening or oil free from salt, Do not grease sponge or angel cake tins --dust with flour. . If cake is not cooked through? Never remove cake from over until it has slightly shrunk from sides of pan and until a tooth- pick comes out clean after in. sertion in centre of cake. Cool cake on a cake rack.

Corsets and Buckram mo) -- br Paris. --~(AP)--Christlan Dior, Pa- ris fashion designer who launched the "new look" last season, now has decided to let well enough alone.

Buse les, extravagantly full skirts, hob. Tramping in the Western High. lands on a pre-war holiday, we arrived at a Youth Hostel on the shores of Loch Shiel. It was an idyl- lic spot, and, haversacks removed and a tin of hot stew inside of us, we were moved to comment on the beauty and serenity of our sur- roundings. "Yes" said the Warden, "it is beautiful. But there should be pip- ing and dancing, cafes, and contin. ental gaiety on the hills and in the' len." : Not quite sure whether to be shocked or overjoyed at such a pros- pect, we let the silence of the night and the sleep of the hills take pos. session of us, § Our minds went back to this visit when we read the report of the Scottish National Pgrks Committee, in which five ParkS are advocated at a cost of £3,250,000, and provision recommended for rambling, moun- taineering, cycling, canoeing, "oat- ing, and riding. It is proposed not merely to open up the areas by roads and footpaths, but to provide camp and caravan sites, hotels, hos- tels and community centres, tea. rooms, and restaurants, The areas planned, each famed for its beauty or rugged grandeur, are: Loch Lomond--Trossachs; Glen Affric.Glen Cannish.Strath Par- rar; Glen Nevis - Glencoe-Black Mount; Cairngorms; and Loch Tor- ridon.Loch Mares . Little Loch Broom." Parks should, it is considered, be concerned not only with the pre. servatidh of scenery and the provis- fon of public access but also with rehabilitation and development. The best possible use should be made of forestry, water power, and rural in- dustries. Precautions for the safety of vis- itors wittx special regard tothe dan. gers of rock and hill climbing are advocated. Where land is acquired, it is considered the Committee should acquire all supporting rights. As a general rule, no charge should be made for admission either to the park or to places of interest in it. The safeguard of wild life was considered by an expert sub-com- mittee who recomend a biological or wild life service in Scotland and the establishment of nature reserves. They Want To Know What do folks on this side of the Atlantic want to know about Scot- land? Two distinguished Scots re. cently returned from North Ameri- ¢a have brought back the answers to Scotland, To Mr. Thomas Johnston, Chair- man of the Scottish Tourist Board, it appeared that they wanted to know nearly everything there was to be known, but top of the list among those who had a drop of Scottish blood in them was, "Waen can we sail up the Clyde again?" Mr, Johnston is as anxious to know as the thousands of impatient ex- iles, and as a result of talks with the shipping chiefs in Canada and the States, he has given it as his view that "we will get a direct ser. vice to the Clyde, and we will get it quicker than some people think." The Tourist Board believe that the first vessel they got could be booked up to Scotland all summer. Scottish football is another item in which the overseas Scot takes a keen interest. So much so, that they told Mr. Willlam Nicholson, the Tourist Board's secretary and man- ager, who accompanied Mr, John. ston on his trip, that they want films of matches to be sent out. Ninety minutes of Celtic and Ran. gers or Aberdeen and Dundee would bring more rejoicing to the Trans- atlantic Scot than the most enthral. ling Hollywood romance, It's Hearts, not heart.throbs, they are seeking. Amony the more serious masters --with due deference to the foot. ball fans -- in which overseas inter. est was displayed, was the Highlands and Islands Medical Service. Time and dgain during his lecture tour of the U.S.A, Sir Andrew Davidson, Chief Medical Officer of the De. partment of Health for Scotland, was asked to speak specially to meetings and discussion groups on this service, which under the new National Health Act will be tgken over by the Northern Regional Hos- pital Board. Long before a national health service was talked about, the crofters in the lonely islands on the Atlantic were given a state-subsi. dized service which brought the doc- tor, by .car, or aeroplane, to their door. It is by the way, the subject of a Scottish Office film entitled "Highland Doctor." . Success Of Mobile Cinemas In Scotland Before World War IT in Britain 168 millimetre projectors were used for the most part to.show silent films in schools, There were few projectors using soundfilm; and very few 16 millimetre sound.films Were hi Jroduced for the projec. rs. Only very rarely were the st films which drew millions week to the cinemas made available for the sub-standard einema users. The country man had still to come to town for his film entertainment, How as he had to come for his book. shop and 'his orchestral concert, During the past seven years a great change has occurred. It began In Scotland in 1939 when the Gov. ernment's evacuation scheme sens thousands of children from the towns and cities of the central in- dustrial belt into the depths of the country in the far north and west. The children very soon began to feel the lack of the amenities of city we Chief among these was the cin. ma. Since the children could not be ble gait-restricting numbers were all presented by him last season. Now it's as though he has taken all of them and streamlined them to perfection, i For evgning wear Dior ejther sets skirts at ground level or starts them at 13 or 14 inches in front and gra. duating sharply to train length at the back. « His hobble and peneil-lined skirts, both for day and evening wear, put the accent on a real snake-.hips sil- houette. . all their potentialities for farming, | NEWS FROM SCOTLAND Beauty Spots to be National Parks brought back to the cities, the only solvent for the mounting discon. tent was to take th cinema into the country. Teachers, already familiar with the projection of 16 millimetre films, and unemployed ough the closing of the schools, were the ob- vious operators. Using school wro. jectors, their own car, and (ms from the Scottish Central Film Li- brary, they went out to the recep. tion areas to give shows in the vil- lages. In this way the first Govern. ment travelling film scheme came into being. When World War II ended the villagers felt acutely the lack of this new source of entertainment. It is true that when the Ministry of Information became the Central Office of Information, the new ur- ganization decided po continue the mobile film unit service. This was welcomed in the country, where the value of the films on health and ag. riculture, on the new social services and the great changes in industry, was appreciated even more keenly than in the towns, but they felt the need of films for their moods of relaxation as well as for chelr moods of resolution, The 16 millimetre film made 'it possible to meet this need. The film companies in Britain and America began to produce sub-standard ver. sions of their films not only estab- lished successes from past seasons but alo new productions which had been in the studios less than 12 months before. And, to show these films, mobile film units were intro- duced into many parts of the coun. try by a new type of exhibitor who served perhaps a dozen villages and who put up his screen in a different hall each night. By the end of the first year after World War II, 16 millimetre cinemas had been estab- lished over large tracts of the coun. try. What the cinema may mean as a ryral amenity is best illustrated by reference to hte Highlands of Scot- land. Here in this sparsely popula. ted territory -- half the 'and area of Scotland -- there are only about a dozen cinemas and these are to be found only in the larger towns. In the rest of the Highlands and Is- lands the normal commercial cine- ma is economically impossible, The communities are small, the crofter's income is low, and the entertain. ment tax is high. Without the 16 millimetre film and the mobile unit it would have been impossible to bring the cinema into the High. lands. With them it has been im- possible to bring the cinema into the Highlands, With them it has been possible to evolve a scheme which will enable film shows to be given throughout the whole of this thinly peopled territory. Early in 1047 the Highlands and Islands Film Guild, a non-profit.-making or. ganization, was set up with assist- ance from the Scottish Inforina- tion Office, the Scottish Education Department, and the Carnegie Uni- ted Kingdom Trust. Its aim is to provide evening programmes of en- tertainment films, special educa- tional programmes for the schools, and other programmes designed to satisfy particular rural interests. In time the scheme may also embrace the provision of mobile libraries and musical programmes, The scheme was launched in the most northerly part of Scotland -- the Shetland Islands -- and a sec. ond unit is operating in the county of Caithness, the most northerly part of the mainland. Other units will shortly begin their work in the Hebrides, Wester Ross, Inverness. shire, and Argyll. About many pre- vious schemes designed for their welfare the Highlanders have teen silently sceptical or entirely criti- cal; but the film scheme has al. ready been received with enthusi- asm. In some small communities there has been a 100 per cent at- tendance by the walking population, The audience have shown the grea- test reluctance in leaving the vil. lage hall after the programme was over, Arts In Scotland The Scot has often been taken to task for his lack of appreciation of the arts, the blame for which is laid variously at the doors of Cal. vin, John Knox, an inherent inca- pability, and the Industrial Revolu- tion. Whatever the cause and how. ever much truth there may have been in the accusations, it looks as if the day of any such indifference had departed. There is in Scotland today a real awakening of interest in"art in one form or ahother. The report of the Arts Council of Great Britain bears full witness to it. Near. ly 250 concerts were directly promo- ted by the Council's Scottish of- fice, and in many towns and cities music societies received support, financial or otherwise, from the Council. Art exhibitions, too, met with an encoutaging response in the forty-seven towns in which they were shown. But most striking of all, perhaps, was the development in the field of drama. The Perth Thea- tre, witta the help of an Arts Coun- cil guarantee, launched upon a short experimental season in Kirk- caldy. The support was sufficient to justify continuation, and the for. mation of a greatly expanded com- pany. The Dundee Repertory Thea- tre embarked with Arts Council support upon a touring policy, and engaged a second company to visit the theatreless towns within a ra- dius of 40 miles of that city.
