HERBERT BAKER TELLS OF ADVENTURES The following item taken from theToronto Daily Star, will be of interestto the many friends of Flying Officer ,Herbert Baker here: “No rest for the Nazis and lessthan that for their Italian allies is therule around the Mediterranean, ac­ cording to F.O. Herbert Baker, R.C.A.F., who took his Blenheim bom­ber on six sweeps out of Britain, then transferred to Malta for six adven­turous months. Now’ he is back in Canada awaiting early assignment to instructional du­ties. “Marno” Waterhouse, prettyIngersoll girl, awaited his coming forthree years, and on short notice by phone from Montreal, married him atIngersoll two weeks ago, three daysafter his arrival. The young pilot officer, a native of Toronto, celebrated his 25th birth­day on March 19, and few have pack­ed more world travel into so few­ years. At 13 he was taken by hisuncle, Rev. Dr. H. W. Outerbridge,now of St. Catharines, and then aUnited Church missionary to Japan.There he carried on his education atthe Canadian Academy in Kobe, andpicked up some command of the Jap­anese language and a lot of know­ledge about Jap character. Baker returned to Canada andworked for a time as a bank clerk in Woodstock and Ingersoll. He enlistedon Sept. 5, 1939, and trained as amember of the First Hussars in CampBorden and Kingston. He decidedthe R.C.A.F. was the place for histalents, secured his discharge andwon his wings at Uplands* in Febru­ ary, 1941, and after further oper­ational training in England wasposted with the "Hyderabad Squad­ ron," R.A.F. Most notable tiling about the sixsweeps he made out of England was the fact that despite terrific* opposi­tion, he and hirf outfit always cameback untouched. Not so after his transfer to Malta.On one occasion, on a sweep overthe Mediterranean, 'Baker and hiscrew mistook an approaching Junk­ ers 88 for another Blenheim. Theyrecognized the enemy machine whenonly 150 yards away. Both planes fought a lengthy air-gunner's duelbefore the German was” shot’ intothe sea. Another time, while strafing Ital­ian trucks in Libya, Baker’s machinewas attacked by four Italian fight­ers. He flew his Blenheim straightinto a thunderstorm • to elude them.There they were hit by a shell, thegunner and observer wounded. When they landed in Malta the tailfell off carrying the gunner with it.” St. Patrick’s Program At Guild Meeting Mrs. Lewis McCombe and Mrs. Graham Buchanan were joint hos­tesses on Tuesday evening for the regular meeting of the Guild of St.Paul's Preslyrterian Church.

The sing song was led by Max Poole,assisted by Ewart Bartley at thepiano. The speaker of the evening was Mr. Bruce Matheson of Woodstock,the assistant agricultural representa­ tive for Oxford County. Mr. Mathe­son chose as his subject, “Wartime Agriculture in Canada," pointingout the greatly increased demands placed on agricultural products andthe important part the farmers are playing in the winning of this war. Previously to the war, Britain had a broad world market supplying herfood requirements. However, since the war started the produce of Can­ada and tire Unitwl States have come into more prominence, and again toa greater extent since Japan entered the struggle. Taking pork as an ex­ample, in 1931 the normal British requirements were 11 million pounds;in 1941, 400 million pounds; in 1942, 600 million pounds and for 1943, therequirements are placed at 675 mil­ lion pounds. These figures do notinclude the amount required to feed the army or citiiens here, northat which is used to restock ships docking at our shores. It will takeapproximately 8 million hogs tomeet this order. The tremendous amount of feednecessary to produce this amount of pork can be seen, when it takes fromthree to five pounds of feed to turn out one pound of pork. Good feedingand breeding play an important part in the developing of the propertype of bacon. A bonus of $1.00 is paid on select hogs, if overweight,§1.00 is deducted. It is up to the farmer to improve his feeding andproduce the proper type. Pork is shipped to England asWiltshire sides, weighing from 50 to 60 pounds. It is processed hereand packed in bales. After reaching the old coufitry it is cut as they seefit. In 1942, 17 billion pounds of milkwere produced. 18 billion poundsare expeced this year, .which is anincrease of 7%. Demands for milkproducts have been built up andup since the war started. Thespeaker felt sure that all the con­ tracts will be filled in spite of themany shortages with wheih the far­ mers are faced. 125 million poundsof cheese will be produced this year in addition to the concentrated milkproducts. A 10% increase in beef is request­ed for this year. There .will be a gradual increase in the price ofbeef every month until May when it will be fixed at $19.75. This is expected to .increase the quantity ofbeef on the market. • Appruximatey 65 million dozen eggs will be sent to England this year. Eggs were formerly shipped asfresh, but this did not always prove satisfactory. They are now brokenand dried and shipped as egg pow­ der. It takes one dozen eggs toproduce five ounces of egg powder.This method also conserves space in ships, which is an important consid­eration also. x The government has encouragedproduction by increasing the price oi\ produce, and by providing subsi­dies and bonus. A total subsidy of 3c per pound of cheese is paid onthat commodity. That paid on milk is 80c per 100 pounds. This latterwas paid to offset the cost of living, but it has also resulted in an in­crease of milk consumption. • Providence waA with us last year,for the grain season was one of the most favourable that ,we have hadin our history. Enough grain was threshed last fall to feed all the live- (Continued on page 2) Newfoundland Trip By James Milne Mr. James Milne, manager of the Borden Company plant of Ingersoll,was the guest speaker at the Ki-wanis luncheon on Thursday even, ing at the St. Charles hotel.President S.

Applications must be sent in to your Local Bation Board by April 15th. Use the applicatjpn in your new Ration Book for this purpose. Canning sugar will be allowed for all fresh fruits, including citron and wild fruits. Marrow, tomatoes and pumpkins are considered as Vegetables and no canning sugar will be allowed for them. *■ !H6w ’TO FIGURfe QTU.T.-THE AMOUNT dF'SUG AR ne eded Four completed ap­plication mutt besent to your Local Ration Board by JAM or JELLY MAKING dilate ll/x lbs. of sugar for each quart of jam or jelly. jMost people use Jfnrs of various 'shapes and sires.’ Take a num­ ber of the jars you usually use andsee how many cupfuls of water they hold. Four (4) cups makea quart. In this way you will be able to estimate the number , of quarts of jam or jelly your jars will hold. Then allow 1% lbs. of sugar per quart for your requirements. For example, for 8 quarts of jam or jelly, you willrequire 12 lbs. of sugar. , CANNING Allow Vb lb. of sugar foreach quart sealer. Estimate the TOTAL number.ofquart sealers you plan to put up —then use the quick, practical method of allowing % lb. ofsugar for each quart scaler. Don’t try and decide exactly the num­ber of each kind1 of fruit youplan to pul up. Some fruits may. be more plentiful than others.Base your estimates on the number of scalers you have onhand, what you put up last year, or what you think your needswill be this year. Estimates based on these methods arc within the canning sugarration, and the amount* are satisfactory for wartime canning andjam and Jelly making, a* proven by test in th.-; Dominion Department of Agriculture experimental kitchen*. IMPORTANT NOTE "The Dominion Department of Agriculture recommends canning fruit in preference tomaking jam or jelly because: More fruit can be pul up with less sugarand at less cost. Canned'fruit , retains more of the vitamin •value of the fresh fruit. v Mr*. Jones Ium decided that her canning programme will be 40 quarts uf fruit of different kinds. Sheallows one-half pound of sugar for each quart, andtherefore will need BO pounds of augar for canning. She decide* that she will put up 0 quart* of jamand jelly. She allow* ]>ouhds of sugar for each quart of jam, and therefore will need'9 pound* ofsugar for jam and jelly making.

HEALTH LEAGUE of CANADA "THE PUREST FORM IN WHICHTOBACCO CAN IE SMOKED." LUlelping to House Canadas War Workers W hen the huge shell-filling plaflt came to his town, Charles Hunter got to thinking about the critical shortage of housing t s ; and About the two large cottages he owned. It wouldn’t cost much to mod- S ' cruize and sub-divide them to make comfortable homes for four families. He talked it over with his bank manager, who extended him a $6OQ loan. With the money, Hunter not only converted hb cottages but took part • of* the loan, along with some of his rental incomf, to remodel another house to Accommodate eight single individuals. With the aid of the bank Hunter helped to pro­ vide urgently needed homes for war workers. He has now paid off all but $100 of the loan. A very small amount paid out for interest has thus enabled him to more than double his former revenues. Such modest, highly useful loans typify the con­ tributions that the banks make to Canadian enter­ prise. The above story is an actual case—only the name has been changed. - * titer* than 9,000 expeitencad bank wm out at 14,433 have The CHARTERED BANKS o!

UNUSUAL NUTRITIVE FOODS Wartime conditions call attention to certain types of food which have hitherto been greatly neglected des­ pite their high nutritive content, but which now can readily substitute for foods which are hard o obtain. For example, in Canada, we throw away thousands of pounds of skim milk every year. A great deal of course is fed to hogs, but even this is waste, nutritionists tell us, for the nutrients in skim milk, poundfor pound, equal those of muscle meat, and 10 pounds of these nu­trients is required to produce one pound of food nutrients in the formof meat Other less costly foods would do as well for hogs. Thisskim milk in the form of powder canprovide us with valuable vitamins in bread, cakes and puddings. Butter­milk, too, is highly nutritious mat­ ching skim nrilk in Its content ofvitamins and minerals. It also can be dried and thus distributed moreeconomically. The most nutritious parts of beefand pork carcasses, strange to say, are seldom chosen by the customerand are wasted by 'being made intofertilizer or feed. The blood, lungs,stomach, liver, pancreas, kidneybrain and heart are spurned by many people. Actually these organsare tremendously rich in the essen­ tial vitamins and minerals. TheNavajo Indian of the United States, for example, who in contrast toother Indian groups, has retained his vigor despite proximity to the white man's civilization, consumesall vestiges of the sheep or goat he kills and exhibits a decided prefer­ence for the contents of the stom­ ach. He eats the organs first. Nurtitionists point out that much could be done to improve the nutri­tive quality of processed meats by including in them organ meat andblood. It is an actual fact that the dog food manufactured by Canad­ian packers, containing much of what they designate as offals, is sup­erior in nutritive value to most of the meat they market for humanfood. By utilising these unusual foodsCanadians would not onlv discoverexciting new dishes, but would be certain of obtaining the vitaminsand minerals they need.

"Well, what did you gel?" “A new overcoat" TODAY, our countries are at war—engaged in a desperate struggle to determine whether the freedom we have created and cherished shall survive or perish. Beside * the all-embracing immensity of that issue, the Seventy-fifth Anniversary whichMetropolitan celebrates this month is of small importance. Yet, on our 75th birthday, it is perhaps .proper that this company, representing nearly thirty million policyholders in Canada and the United States, should here voice its faith in the future, and its determination to help make that future brighter than any periodin the past. We have just reason for that faith. Ours is a business that has been built on faith­ faith in the continued and growing greatness of Canada and the United States, faith in the Integrity of our people. In the 75 years since Metropolitan was founded, on March 24, 1868, we have faced crisis after crisis—wars, panics, depressions, disasters of many kinds . . . and from each such crisis we have seen our countriesemerge stronger than ever. We confidently believe that they will do just that again— that the best years of history lie before us. We have every reason, too, for our deter­ mination to help make that future brighter. No business, perhaps, touches the lives and aspirations of millions of people more closely than ours. It is our plain duty to help those people fulfill their dreamt—of an education for their children, of security for their families, of financial independence in their own old age. In the past, we have tried to perform that duty through the wise investment of more than six billion dollars Which we hold for the benefit of our policyholders. We have triedto do it through conscientious, economical management so that insurance costs would be held to a minimum. We have tried to do it through the prompt payment of all Benefits —which, in the 75 yearSbf our existence, have totalled over nine and i half billion dollars. And through our orgahixed health activities, established in 1909, wi have tried to make •very possible contribution to healthier, longer liveq for our Policyholders — lives which, taken from birth, now average over twenty years longer thad they did in 1868. In doing these things, we have also tried to be a good citizen. For we are part of Canada and the United States. Their future h our future. And in this critical hour in history, we say again—our faith in that futurehas never been stronger?^" Metropolitan Life Insurance Company <4 MUTUAL COMTAnY) NEW YORK Frtdo-ick H.

Long Scholarly men are not always those who have received education as cholars. I knew and greatly admired one who had had little for­ mal education, but food for his mind mands it who demanded as another de- for his bodily growth. Such a man, denied education of u formal sort, gets it by hook or by crook; buys books where another buys beer and skities; pursues the divine muse, while another pursues his contemporary and very human mistress; finds time for study that they see is what must surely come. And so with to-day’s vision of social security. It will be fought, as have all advanced ideas. The ideai- all must take if progress is to go forward towards the eventual mil- leniuni. When the threat of invasion of England was at its height and all signposts had been rempved, a mot­ orist stopped a country yokel and inquired of him the way oL a certain The yokel, pointing the will be derided, every argument against it will be diligently sought out by the hard-headed and tight- fisted realist, but come it must. It . has been foreseen. Men of vision I village. are not always the best planners, but I direction, replied: “That wore the they are the beacon lights for others | way before the war, but I b’aint be who follow to chart the course we tollin’ anybody now.” Is This Armageddon? Britsh-lsrael World Federation ST. JAMES’ PARISH HALL. Sunday, March 28th Mr. J. Higgin, London II welcome Offering that beloved of the determined in­ dividualist, the bugaboo of the rabid reformer. Such a man, a student by nature, a thinker and a dreamer, should have immense power to leaven the lump of heavy material­ ism that is .our present day worst enemy. He should have that power, but he seldom has, for having no competence other than what he earns, and earning that at work often very little congenial to him, he must devote himself to making a living. If we were able to promote the education of such a one, to make it possible for him to devote his time to what he is so perfectly .fit­ ted, might we not have a much greater fund of knowledge and deep reflection and idealism from which to draw? We do need idealism in far greater abundance, it, many more people. It is the fashion to scoff at it, ffi'- ' jail idealists, dreamers, to see the'm as visionaries, whose nebu- lous'ideas are os idiotic as they are impractical. But the idealist saw­ poverty stamped out generations be­ fore laws were implemented to make it possible to feed and clothe the widow and orphan the blind and the aged. His idealism is our realism. And we don’t find it so very odd or the idea very far-fetched. Idealists saw education ' as possible for all, Jnd realists fought desperately to prevent it, but the idealist finally won his point, and we don’t feel very idealistic when we make it compulsory to send children to school. We ace it as a benefit to all and sundry. , Florence Nightingale -was a silly female idealist when she sought tobring sanitary conditions and com­ fort, where, before filth and neglect had taken more lives than had lethal weapons. Elizabeth Ery was an idealist when she tried to end the misery and suffering of men incar­ cerated in the vile prisons, of her time. But .their idealism is the rea­ lism of our day.

When a Can­adian digs his sunny back yard toplant a vegetable garden, he is onlydoing what the British found necess­ary long ago in this war. Both Dom­inion and Provincial governmentsare urging us to grow vegetables. Labour shortages on farms, thenecessity for canning commercial crops for the Armed Forces, cur­tailed deliveries—these may mean a reduction in the quantity of freshvegetables available. So more and more home gardens arc needed thisyear and your garden can be a val­ uable help. . But you’ll want to grow 'some vegetables anyway for the good eat­ing and for the sheer pleasure andexercise you get from it. Growingyour own will save trips to market—your food budget, too. Freshlypicked vegetables straight fromgarden to table are better, because the fresher the vegetables the higherthe vitamin values. Green vegetables —rich in vitamins and minerals—mean health for everyone. In wartime, we cannot afford toexperiment, so sketch your plot on paper; keep a chart of kinds of veg­etables, dates for planting and har­ vesting. Carrots, chard, beans and tomatoes might be your first choice.You can get advice on soil prepar­ ation, fertilizers and insect controlfrom the Department of Agricul­ ture. This is a year to grow foodfor fitness—start planning your Vic­ tory garden to-day. TAKE A TIP: 1.

Choose the right seed for yourpurpose—early or late varieties,varieties suitable for storage or canning—also amount of seed needed for your plot. Weights of Fruits Estimated For Canning Many housewives who propose to can considerable fruit this year haveinformed local Ration Boards that their task of computing the ncccss-.ary amount of sugar required would be simplified if they knew the num­ber of pounds per basket of the var­ ious fruits. They point out, for ex­ample, that if they “do down” an eleven quart basket of cherries, theRation Administration of the War­ time Prices and Trade Board willallow them a half a pound of sugar for each pound of fruit. Therefore,the moot question is “what is the weight of an eleven quart basket ofcherries?”P. W. Hodgetts, Director of the Fruit Branch, Ontario Department of Agriculture, in providing the re­quired answers for Ontario fruits, stresses that the weights given be­low are average rather than defin­ ite, and may vary with varieties,size of fruit, height of larger fruits in the basket, etc. However, the in­formation, it is believed, will be ofconsiderable value to housewives who must fill in their application blanks for canning sugar (found intheir new ration book), and for­ ward to their nearest Local RationBoard not later than April 15. Here are the average weights offruits per basket: Strawberries—Quart, 20 ounces.Raspberries—Quart, 22 ounces. Cherries — 6 qt basket, 7’4pounds; 11 qt. basket, 16 pounds. Currants—Black, 6 qt. basket, 8pounds; Red, 6 qt. basket, 7 pounds. Gooseberries—6 qt basket, 8pounds.Plums—6 qt. basket, 8 pounds; 11qt.' basket, 1G pounds.Pears—Bushel, 50 pounds; 6 qt.basket, 8 pounds; 11 qt. basket, 16pounds. Peaches—Bushel, 45 pounds; 6 qt.basket, flat, 8 pounds; 6 qt. basket, heaped, 12 pounds; 11 qt. basket,flat, 16 pounds. Grapes — 6 qt. basket, 7(4pounds; 11 qt, basket, 14 pounds. Apples — Barrel, loose, 130pounds; bushel, 44 pounds; 6 qt. basket, 8 pounds.

FREQUENTLY, if we analyze a" picture we find that it appeals to us primarily because it presents a new, fresh aspect of some familiar object or scene. Someti&es this new aspect resultsfrom a novel effect of lighting, which reveals or calls to our attention de­ tails we had not before observed. In other cases, a novel or unex- pected viewpoint eerves the same mormal viewpoint and conventionalpurpose. We are accustomed to see- ■ — Ing things from a certain angle—and" If your point of view is re­ versed or "turned inside out” the commonest objects tend to assumenew interest. - ■ Therefore, it’s really worthwhilefor any' photographer to look for new and Interesting viewpoints. Thephotographer who made our illus­ tration of the week did just that.Another photographer we know made a very unusual picture not solong ago by placing bls camera on the’ floor and making the exposurewhile a group of fellows bent over it in football huddle fashion.

Although it may be great fun tomake such pictures, never forget that unusual viewpoints and novel lightings do not automatically pro- •duce fine pictures. Indeed If used ) unwisely they may accomplish theexact opposite. Each picture yon at­ tempt should be analyzed individu­ally.; One subject may demand a lighting. The next may call for a point of view and lighting which arcdistinctly out ot the ordinary. And each should bo treated In the man­ner that presents It to the best ad vantage.But generally speaking.
