While driving on the Elk Lake highway in the early morning hours, Mr. Fred Miller, of Thornloe had the unusual experience of having his car turn a complete revâ€" olution in the air and land back of its wheels. There were five passengers in the car, in addition to the driver and only one of the six required medical atâ€" tention as the regult of the accident. The one unfortunate passenger in the car who did not make that complete turn in the air wihout mishap was Mr. Clare Pacey, of Matachewan. Mr. Paâ€" cey suffered some broken ribs but was inot seriously injured. It would appear that the driver of the car failed to noâ€" tice a curve in th eroad, his windshield being frosted. He went off the road at the curve and in trying to bring the car back to the road, he struck one of the highway signs. This small sign was so well embedded that it stopped the front of the car, while the rest of the car kept on going. As a result the momentum of the carâ€"carried the auto through a complete circle with the cat actually going completely round on its lown axis, as it were, and landing finâ€" ally on its wheels as it was in the first place. Dr. McCullough, of New Lisâ€" keard, went to the scene of the acciâ€" dent and attended to the injured man and saw that the others had escaped any injury. The car itself was damâ€" aged to an extent estimated at around $600.00. * Man Has Ribs Broken in Unusual Car Accident. Suggestions About the Menus for the Christmas Season Ways to Make Christmas Conform to Wartime Conâ€" ditions As Christmas approaches, the kitâ€" chen, with its activity and warm, spicy fragrance, becomes one of the most fascinating as well as the busiest rooms in the house. The whole question of food for the noliday season needs careful planning if the pleasant bustle associated with Christmas is not to develop frenzied flurry at the last minute. This year, more than ever, the question of holiday meals needs careful considerâ€" ation. Celebrations will be on a less lavish and altogether simpler scale as Canada c@lebrates her fourth wartime Christmasâ€"perhaps because of they may be more in the true spirit of the season. The Home Economists, Consumer Section, Dominion Department of Agriâ€" culture, have given a good deal of thought to this question of planning meals for the holiday weekâ€"end. They suggest that, the week before Christâ€" mas, menus be planned to cover the holiday period from Thursday to Monâ€" day. Plan meals for which a good deal of advance preparation can be made, and that will be elastic enough to take care of extra, unexpected guests A buffet style supper on Christmas eve and a fireside tea on Christmas night are easy to prepare and can be stretchâ€" ed to accommodate almost any number of friends who may drop in. By the week before Christmas plum puddings, mince meat and fruit cakes should be made and out of the way. During this week: Order the turkey, goose, or chickens for the Christmas dinner. Make a list of all staples required and order them. Make cranberry jelly, pour into sterâ€" Ilized moulds, cover and store Bake cookies, make salad c Christmas week:â€" Mondayâ€"Complete details mentus.

C a n did ates should possess at least a Technical High School educaiion, s;pecializing in chemistry with special aptitude for work in a Nutrition Laboratory. No Pathalogical or Bacteriological laborâ€" atory experience is nececsary. Airwomen are enlisted with Standard grouping in ordinary cases and required to pass a trade test three months later to attain ‘"C" grouping. Pay, of course, increases with each higher grouping, and rank is in most trades contingent on the group classification. You will see, therefore, that a Laboratory Asâ€" sistant (Nutrition) with "A" group is an excellent position to progress rapâ€" idly in the Service. Applicants who are accepted will be given "A" grouping on successful comâ€" pletion of their basic training course at the Manning Depot. Clerk (Stenographers) are . also in great demand and the Women‘s Diviâ€" sion is now in a position to offer rank and grouping to qualified candidates.
