‘Young Liberals of six Ontario Universities who voted recently in favor of Canada becoming a republic have created an issue that the Conservative party will swoop on in full force in the next election. In the words of Conservative ‘House Leader Gordon Churchill of Winnipeg, “The Liberal pee A MOUNTAIN COLLAPSES. A 100-foot-high wall of rocks cuts off the southern route of the Trans-Canada Highway between Hope and Princeton, B. C., as rescue workers gather to hunt for bodies in the debris, The is the party of bli Canada.” His words sates echoed by Conservative national organizer Richard Thrasher, who said ‘So long as the Liberal party Js a force in the public life of Canada, we will be faced with attempts to abolish completely our traditional symbols and re- lations with the United King- dom.” The Torles, deeply wounded 50 far as the Liberals’ big Que- bec contingent is concerned. In 40 doing, they'll be renew- ing an issue as-old as Canada itself, at a time when the Liber- als are probably more vulnera- bie to the charge than ever be- re. The fact is, of course, that there is no strong movement at was halved when millions of tons of rock and. mud poured into the Nicolum Valley. SUGAR AND SPICE Pay, And Face !

This month, my son Hugh is giving two plano recitals before trying his music exam, the cul- maination of ten years of lessons. It’s just about the culmination of the old man’s credit in these parts, too. All it involves Is the rental of two halls, the printing of two sets of invitations and programs, and the purchase of new sults and dresses for the whole family, Even at that, I could fight my way out of the morass of bills and face the future, shaken but Same, if this were the eni.of tha But & learned, in a short but devastating exchange with my wife, that it’s only the begin- ning. “Well”, I-beamed, ‘‘at Teast 11 be nice not to have to Pay for lessons next year, what with all the expense of sending him to college.” “Don't be silly!” she snapped. “Of course he's going to go on with his music next year.

Likely nothing but a gagglo of. grandchildren, who will be dumped with us every time thelr parents want to go on a skling vacation or a jaunt to Mexico. In despair, I sought out an old friend who has been through it all with three sons and a daugh- ter. Surely he'd have some words of comfort, He did. “Smiley, old boy,’’ he chor- tled, there's nothing to it. But you've forgotten a few items, First'of all, your son gets mar- ried in third year college and you subsidize them and the baby, until he graduates, Then there's your daughter's wed-. .

The creation of a distinc- tive Canadian flag was merely an overdue recognition of the value of an original national symbol, Canadians, it must be recog- nized, are North Americans who because of their desire to main- tain a direct with British traditions and institutions, dared to develop their own country on this continent rather than accept : ied deacons the United A cleavage has occurred, how- in North fasten, and Sanedien nationalists who demand the forms as well as the facts of in- dependence. ‘Talk of abolishing the monar- tion of varying natious which must surely serve as the ultim- mankind— ate grand design for world federation. ~ Baking. Powder a Deer Susanna: Ever find yourself in the annoy- ing predicament of preparing a. delicious breakfast of sausages and hot biscuits, only 3 discov @ you are fresh out of beking powder? And what are break- fast sausages without hot baking powder biscuits, anyway! Don't despair, just cross your ingore and hope you have a lt- tle bi soda and cream tartar on the shelf. If you do, your problem is solved with this interesting equation: % teaspoon baking soda. plus % teaspoon cream of tartar, equals 1 teaspoon of baking powder. Don’t you think this is a handy little formula to have on band? MURIEL SMITH It certainly is, Muriel, and don't worry, girls, if our addition seems a little shaky. In this case a quarter and a half reaily. do equal one. Dear Susanna: if you are having trouble with food sticking to your skillet this may be because detergents have dried out every single drop of oil .and fat. They can so this, you know! To remedy the trouble 1 ‘re- season the pan. To do so, heat it thoroughly with a smal) amount of fat or of) just as you: would with a new skillet. DIETITIAN DINAH The next time you bring out that beautifully re-seasoned skil- let to prepare scrambled eggs, and you get a touch of the “tired of the same old thing blues,” add a little rosemary and see if you don’t think it is rather a pleasant flavor change. SUSANNA Dear Susanna: Not having a steam iron, | find that an empty window cleaner spray bottle — one with a fine squeeze type spray, is excellent when filled with water, for creat- ing a fine mist when ironing or pressing. The same bottle Is great for wetting trading stamps. Spread a’ newspaper, and the stamps give ate quickly as you can pick them up! Mrs. H. Dobson Dear Susanna: Many women set their plants fn water in the bath or laundry tubs before taking off on a trip. This is a perfect idea and keeps the plants from drying out. However, I have another reason for setting my plants in the Ss. About once every two weeks 1 lay them out, fill my laundry clothes sprinkler with water and give them all a good spraying. You see, instead of trying to dust the leaves one by one, I clean them this way and conse quently. keep my plants looking as fresh as after a spring tain. MRS. S, DIETRICT These plants can't help but be beautiful with their own built-in shower power! - * SUSANNA Dear Susanna: it, many of your readers are like the. gals in our group, they are constantly ‘looking for crea- tive ideas. Here is one — using old’ records to. make wal) _ plaques — that is fun. me Warm an old record in the ‘oven, When it ts pliable, mould it¢with -your hands until you have a gentle curve from the centre out, or give it a large soup plate look. To give the edges a profes- sional took, try experimenting with scalloping, pleating, .or with giving them a fluted effect. Now paste individual flowers, or little bunches, in the centre. For the crowning touch, spray the whole thing: over with cop per, silver. or. gold paint: or. to be really tricky, do the plaque’ one shade, and finish off the flowers in a different color. PEARL 8.
