The home- maker is the true home economist of the nation and there are more women engaged in this active pro- fession than in any other oeccupa- tion. We probably do not consider our jobs as glamorous as the varied careers pursued by some of our sisters, but, like them, we must give our best efforts if we wish to be successful, 4 Although we try to keep food bills within our allowance, most of us are too busy to keep a regular budget and account of expenditure. Perhaps this is "muddling through" but experience is a great teacher and we tend to rely more upon it than facts and figures. The garbage can is always an in- dication of your economy. Check you. food supplies constantly and never, never, throw out anything because of neglect. Keep your gar- bage tin free of wasted food and you will have more money in your purse, * With fats more expensive than ever and a supply to be collected daily we review "Care of Fats." 1, Be sure to measure meat drip- ping for gravy making -- do not guess and waste it. f 2.

Watch temperatures in oven, skillet and broiler to see that you do not scorch drippifig. 4.

Latest rumble of dissatisfaction. comes from high school girls, boys and teachers. For once they all agree, and its about high school dances. There's nothing wrong with the dances; it's the people who go to them who are "way off the track and, as a result, some of the dances aren't as much fun as they could be. Here's what they have to say; perhaps it will help you to "'up" your own popularity rating: 1--Girls' complaint--Boys go to school dances without ties and coats. The girls are right that this is socially incorrect, poor taste and bad manners. Why? Because dances are social events, meant to be different from classes. As such, they call for a complete outfit in- cluding jacket and tie. Girls should also wear suitable clothes--a dress- up dress, not a classroom sweater and skirt. If you're dressed right, you're more likely to behave right-- and know what's what socially all your life. s' complaint--@Girls de- mand orchid corsages. The boys are right that this is too much ex- pense for average 'boys. Nowadays fathers can't always buy orchids for mothers, so certainly can't afford to give sons orchid-money for their dates. It's also too much to expect a boy to spend that much earned money on orchids in addition to the other expenses of the dance. Girls have no right to "demand" any kind "Everything you send us is want- ed, and urgently wanted," is the plea received at the headquarters of the United Emergency Fund for Britain. This organization is plan- ning all Canadian aid to Britain on a national basis from coast to coast. The United Emergency Fund for Britain reduces costs for voluntary aid to Britain through exclusive concessions granted by the Bri- tish government. These include free ocean and inland transporta- tion, handling and warehousing in The United Kingdom and exemp- tion for all such gifts from customs and excise duties.

Canadian-Born Star Acclaimed For Dancing In "Where's Charley?" By PAT USSHER Canadian Press Staff Writer New York -- (CP) -- Canadian- born Allyn McLarie, the ingenue lead in "Where's Charley?," says "I couldn't make up my mind whether to be a dancer or an actress so I finally decided to be both." In either capacity she's a stand- out. A slender, attractive brunetter with a soft, musical laugh, Miss McLerie began her professional stage career at 14, and a ballet dancer with the 8an Carlo Opera Company. She played in Toronto and Hamilton, Ont., during a six- week tour, But the young actress--she's in her early 20's--was lured by the footlights from infancy. She told about her theatrical progress in an interview, efter a matinee per- formance of "Where's Charley?" the musical version of "Charley's Aunt." "I love the play," she said. "I like the part because it gives me a chance to do everything, not just dancing--singing, acting and com- edy. It's my favorite role to date." And for her performance she's received bouquets from the critics. Allyn moved with her mother from Grand-mere, Que. to Brook- lyn when she was three years old. Her father, Allan Gordon McLerie, a First World War flier who sub- sequently became the first man to fly a winter mail route in Canada, died shortly after his daughter was born. Allyn took piano and dancing lessons but when she was 11 decided to specialize in danc- ing. Practising the piano was too boring. Road to Stardom In 1943, while still in high school, she danced in the ensemble of "One Touch of Venus" and once played Sono Osato's role. A year later she was understudy to Mis Osato in "On the Town." Evem- tually she took over the starring role--and married Adolph Green, a co-author of the musicale. After, the show closed, fortune frowned. She was signed for an- other but it was never produced; she almost, but not quite, got into "Allegro" and "Park Avenue,' and she appeared only briefly in: "Pa-4 nama Bound" which never reached Broadway. A year ago she was dancing with John Butler at New York's fash- ionable Cotillion Room and mak- ing a success of it. But she end- ed that engagement because "ball- Tom dancing wasn't what I wanted 0. Hollywood was next--'"not for any special reason; I just got tired of not working." She sang and danced with Perry Como in "Words and Music," a film awaiting release. Broadway spot. It was there she met George Abbott, producer of "Where's Charley?" in which show she now is playing. Allyn is obviously thrilled by her success as the demure Amy Spet- tigue. No wonder. The critics called her "delightful," "versatile" "warm and graceful'--even "a sen- sation." "I guess what I'm really inter- est in is acting. I've done so much dancing already," she said when asked about her future plans. Britain's present diet, due to rationing, is working particular hardship on employed mothers. Says the British Ministry of Food: "Surveys of the clinical conditions of 'working class mothers indicate that an appreciable number are in 'poor nutritional condition.' In oth- er words, we are living on marginal nutritional standards, and there is cause for anxiety lest this should be having adverse effects on phy- sique and health."

That may provide reason for a family re-union. What is the least amount needed to finance such a journey with a stay in England of two to three weeks? I shall be staying' in a boarding house, Where should I apply for accommodation?" Return ship fares to London next June are: Tourist $320 (sold out), Cabin $560 (sold out), and First Class $750 (reservations should be made immediately.) Added to this would be train fare to Montreal plus ship voyage tips, about $50. Trans-Atlantic air flight costs $649.80 return with no meal costs. Accommodation in London guest-house runs from $3 to $5 daily, with meals. Reservations could be made through British Travel Asso- ciation, 372 Bay Street, Toronto. It certainly sounds like a grand family party. LITCHEN COLORS: "We are building a new house and I would like some help with kitchen colors. What about woodwork, cup- board and furniture?" Kitchens need the clean look far more than the new look. Consequently, ivory, yellow, and apple green are favorite colors. Ivory walls, ivory cupboards with deeper yellow shelf edges and under shelves combine well with blue linoleum-covered work surfaces. Add glazed chintz, blue and white striped curtains and it's a colorful ensemble. Pale green walls and cupboards combine with yel- low mottled linoleum table tops and beige linoleum flooring. Sherwin-Williams have color chart folders available on request. FELT CHRISTMAS GIFTS: "Where can I get a book of instructions in making felt gifts such as book covers, knitting bags and so on?" We have not been able to locate a book on felt-craft. However, Mrs. M. Rennick, Downsview P.O. says if you write her, she will help you.
