"I had decided to ask for her on a Sun- day - it was always a quiet peace- ful day ,then, and I thought that would help me out, you see. But she was against that. In fact she wouldn't hear to it at all. Sunday was Sunday in those days, I can tell you! You didn't do much else but go to church - and discuss the fine points of the sermon afterwards. Oh. you attended to the choring on the farm, but just barely.

For Tomorrow

A DAY of definitely challenging ,lmport and scope is forecast in which opposition. tenacious ob- stacle. disintegration and the un- predictable, tax the ingenuity. courage and the rare ability to turn defeat into victory. A cour- ageous. clever facing of disastrous situations. While there may be unfamiliar stresses and strains to manage, with tenacious obstacles to circumvent these, at the same time there is sagaclous insight, un- usual talents. attracting ready as- sistance from "on high." Cultivate these assuredly.

For the Birthday

Those whose birthday it is. may anticipate a year of upset plans. disintegration. and turmoil if not complete upheaval, and this in the face of tenacious obstacle. re- buffs, reversals. malignant attack.

However, determination, earnest effort, exceptional insight, versa- tility and ingenuity, in the long

run are bound to win the atten- tion and whole-hearted support of those in high places.

A,chlld born on this day while meeting reversal: and opposition will have talents, character and assistance to overcome all obstac- les and lacks.

,and more time in the kitchen.

how many wars 1 have lived through. Yes. I'll ad.-mit more time in the kitchen sounds fan- tastic today. But despite the ris- ing tide of quick and easy dinners our habits must change in a slate of emergency. we are going to make the shrinking food dollar do the job of keeping the nation strong, then men and women. both, must give more thought and time to feeding their families. 0 O 0 Let's talk about the men first. Husbands must be educated in current food costs. My father used to say "What's good to eat, a man

should have." He meant thick steaks and chops.

But few men today can have ilhose things often. Take them

shopping and bhcy will get their

eyes opcncd. Thcn thcyill slop expecting women to serve the same kind of meals for the same

budget as before. I did that with my 26-year-old son. He's a big cater and had no

conception of the jump in food costs. But he learned the hard way - at the butcher's counir r.

Now he says. "Okay, Ma. you win. I'd rallicr have a big liamgmrgcr than a little sleak any lime."

l think there should be a fam- ily confercncc rircry night on the next day's meals. Lei mcn realize in advance what can and cannot be done with the food budget.

Let's not fool ourselves. The budgciccrs job of feeding a fam- 113' 3d0(ll:aiely is gelling tougher day by day. Tile time has passed when a woman can dash home from the office or a card game and run up a meal just before her husband gets home. At least, not unless she has an elastic budget.

"Why won't Canadians

British fashions?"

This was the question Kate Alt- ken was asked by two British trade commissioners with whom she found herself in conference, under the aegis of the president of the board of trade. at the very moment when she was scheduled to talk at a luncheon meeting of the Toronto Women's Press Club about her Christmas-time trip to Israel.

Mrs. Altken took a few minutes off from the conference to fill the

buy

engagement with her own club and told the members and their friends about the discussion in

progress there. She had explain- ed to the British reepresentatives that the garments made in Eng- land were too heavy and too bulky fo'r our way of living. The outcome of the whole matter has been ac- ceptance of an invitation to take, a Canadian fashion show to Eng-j land and plans are now afoot for.

BETH BAILEY McLEAN: way I would window shop

Any good meal that can be thrown together in a few minutes is bound to cost a lot more than one which takes planning and careful prep- aralion.,

As the food dollar buys less. more time is needed to market. It is possible to keep the nutritional and taste standards up to normal with less money but only by a thorough sludy of all food values on sale.

It is their distinctive features of fab- ric, quality, design and clean lines, Mrs. Aitken believes, that make Canadian clothes stack up so well against those of American, British

and Parisian designers. she also stressed the importance of such trade relations in the saving of

our British Commonwealth of Nations.

Her Majesty to Attend lVariety Of Opportunities Canadian Fashion Show For Dietitians In Canada ,

TORONTO --Constantly expand- ing opportunities for dietitians in Canada serve to point up the sIhort- age which daily grows more acute, Miss Edith wark. president. Can- adian Dietetic Association, announ- ced this week.

Commenting on the drive being made by the association to interest young rwcmen in this profession, she added: "The profession of dietetic.-; offers more leeway for individual talents than perhaps any other pro- fession open to Canadian women. The demand so far exceeds the supply that for many years to come there will be no dearth of well paid jobs for dietitians."

Too many young women have the idea that the dietitian serves only in the diet kitchen or restaurant she said, and if they believe their talents are not suited to either. do- cide against the profession. Actually fully qualified tians share top-drawer food sec- rets in industry and in medical dietary research in progress and acquire a knowledge of public taste and desires matched by few other professional women.

Among newer developments she noted the establishment, of home service bureaus in a few industrial household products firms. These bureaus are Clllerated by dietitians.

dieti-

They deal with requests from housewives-even emergency re. quests when the food is on the

stove. They feature test kitchens and demonstrations. The dietitians test new food products. develcvp re- cipes and solve problems for the customers.

"only recently two companies co-operated to produce a new re- cipe for pie cnist and the dietitians collaborated." Miss Wark sold, "More than this. the collaboration led to a merging of the pcliicles of the two companies. The dietitians have the opportunity to arrange displays for large conventions and Rain first hand contact with the problems faced by the public.

"There is a real futule in this work." she said. "and it is just be- ginning in Canada. Dietitians can now get in on the ground floor."

More and more hospitals "also were enlisting the services cf dieti- tlans, she continued. One large gen-

gest cities now employs a chic: 419. titlnn. seven assistant dietitians and nine dietetic interns doing post graduate work. This hospital serves 3.000 meals a day. including more than a dozen types of specsl diets.

will be but for our budget. tum. need of variety and cooking obli- it .

ylf you see an unfamiliar cut that looks good and is reasonable. learn how to cook it before you get the stove hot. Don't gamlble with your skittish food dollars. ignorance of modern cooking methods that conserve food values is costly.

Our way of life is changing un- der the pressure of a world crisis. That means many of our fixed eating habits and inherited food prejudices must do a. fade-out if good eating is to survive.

Go find recipes for the more abundant and therefore cheaper foods even though you have rarely used them. Learn how' to pre- pare good dishes using the humble lam-b shan-k. the oxtail or Veal knuckle. Take a flier in meals! planning by using kidneys. heart, tripe and other meat specialtiesi that cost less but carry their full quota of nutrition and potential fine flavor.

Don't worry too much about the me-nfolk. After a few educational trips to the market willh you they will lose some of their attitude about what they will and will not eat. Furthermore, many of them do eat these foods at their res- taurants at lunch time and seem to like them. Better ask the res- taurant how to cook them.

Does this practicality of mine civiliza- tion is being threatened? Well. I can't help getting more and more practical as the news gets worse.

You see, I don't excite easily. That's because I was was born in Wisconsin and have lived a long time in Chicago. We're rather. slow to excite out here. probably because we live nearer to the hog.

The dietitians not only have charge of the purchasing and the preparation of the food. but they supervise a large staff and requisit- ion or purchase new equipment They also run a canteen where 300 lunches are served daily to medic- al students, patients and their friends attending the out-door. clinic Patients who cannot afford buy a meal are given a ticket for a free lunch at the canteen. University dining halls. too, are looking fcvr dietitians. one large university provides three types of meal service:-cafeteria meals for the students. dining room service for the faculty and graduates, with a menu offering two or three choices. and fcrmal banquets for University functions where many details of protocol have to be ob- served, Miss Wark said,

Miss work said that to help in- terest high school girls in the pre- feasion of dletitics tfhe Associatnn has prepared booklets listing edu- cation requirements. where train- lng may be obtained and lts,ccst and job possibilities.
