After the regular meeting of the Timmins Rebekah Lodge last Thursâ€" day evening, there was a Children‘s Nightâ€"a happy feature that bids fair to become a popular annual event. There were about 120 children preâ€" sent, and they had a wonderful time. So did the grownâ€"ups. There was a programme of very striking merit, every number being very creditable to the youngsters concerned. All the selcetions by the children were so good indeed, that it seems almost imâ€" possible â€"to single out any for special mention. Yet a special word would not be out of place for the beautiful dancing by Little Misses May Moore, Margaret (Geils, Margaret Easton and Helen Chisholm. These four graceful and gifter little girls delighted all with their dancing. Then there should be a special mention of the song and recitation so well given by little Anna Moore, a tot of only two years and three months of age. Another extra special â€"was â€" little Jackie Easton, whose wellâ€"rendered recitation made a deserved big hit. The programme also included very effectively given recitations by Masters Dan Marshall, Stewart â€" Dewar, â€" Harry_ Sheppard, Clayton _ Richardson, _ Weldon Orr, Jack Orr; and by Misses Doris Cooke, Verna Kelly, Annie Marshall, Ina Rayveroft, Isabel Arnold, Evelyn Halâ€" perin, â€" Clara â€" Halperin, â€" Margaret Haston.

You might consider it a fairly tall order, and yet day after day many men are doing this very same thing at least three times a day in the kitchens of the railway dining cars which render travelling hotel service across the continent. In addition to the space mentioned, the kitchen and dining room staff have only a pantry seven feet by six in which to work, yet who has not wondered at the seeming magic with which the waiters produce at very short notice the choicest of foods and drinks, cooked and garnished to tempt the most dainty appetite and appease the most hungry? The key note of this remarkable service is, of course system, and then training. Investigating, one finds that each class of food has its own refrigerator, and that each refrigerator and iceâ€"well, each drawer and each of the innumerable lockers are so arranged as to permit of ready access with the minimum amount oF lost motion. Everything has and is in its place, the seperate refrigeraâ€" tors being provided in order to avoid absorption of odors from the pungent variety of foodstufis by those of a more delicate quality. The cooking is done on a broiler in the case of steaks, fish and ham, etc., or on the large coal range. Dairy products and fruits are stored in the pantry where silver, glassâ€"ware and crockery is kept. The preparation of the menu card is done under the personal supervision of the superintendent and a full At the top are ssen the chefs at work on the 1 lines in 39 hours 45 minutes, daily.

They make out a requisition for the necessary quantity of supplies, basing their estimate on the average travel, and all oodâ€" stuffs are checked and examined as to quality by the Chef gersonally as they are placed in the car, and put into the receptacles provided. Everything is then ready for the preparation of the meal. There is, however, a great deal of work to be done before the "first call" is made. Stock has to be prepared for soup, poultry and fish cleaned, garnitures cut, vegetables cut and many other things. The Chef sees that everything possible is prepared ahead, but will not permit the preparation ahead of such items as require to be prepared as ordered. All broiled foodstuffs and such things as toast and eggs for instance must be prepared only as ordered. _ As to the division of duties, the Chef prepares soups, sauces, cooks all roasts, frys and grills all meats and generally supervises the work of the kitchen staff. Second cook makes all pastry, puddings, cakes, muflins and coffee; third cook peels all vegetables and assists the second cook with the other work; fourth cook is a gencral utility man and does the washing of dishes, pots and pans. The fifth cook, cometimes called the pantryman cuts bread, butter and prepares salads, grape fruit, oranges, ete. This division of labor permits of the service of meals just as quickly as passengers can partake of them, and very often one kitchen staff in the Canadian Pacific dining car service will turn out nearly 400 meals in the course of one day.
