Mrs, Harland Jaffray, presi- dent of the local Guide associa- tion, introduced the leaders of the Brownie packs and the Guide companies to the parents and friends of the Brownies and Guides. Mrs. Jaffray also introduced the speaker of the evening, Es- trid Wallberg, who was one of the 10 Canadian Guides chosen to go to Coopertown, New York, as a camper at the 12th world con- ference. A representative of the United Nations visited the camp and in his address to the campers and leaders he said what a won- derful thing Guiding and Scouting is doing, and can do, to promote friendliness all over the world. At the campfire on the last night at camp, Lady Baden-Powell started the wishing game and each one all around the fire threw a fagot into the fire and as they did so, they wished. The Oakville Guides and the Brownies were very interested in all Bstrid told them and would have been very glad to have heard more. Then the proficiency badges were presented by the badge sec- retary, Mrs. Bolton Reade: Patsy Wright, pioneer and cook's badge; 2nd class badges to Janice Jaf- fray, Marjory Hawkes, Veronica Faryniuk, Helen Adamus, Betty Judy Bayly and Jean Skelding. Carolyn Jaffray of the Ranger company got her camper's and woodsman's badges. Greta Hadden, little house, laundress and homemalter's badges; Ruth Mill- ward, homemaker; Jean Mec- Naughton, cook's badge. The following service stars were Hello Homemakers! Only those who have stored vegetables can realize the value of this home- grown supply of food and appre- ciate the resultant saving. Don't let vegetables go to waste after they are grown. The quality of many vegetables is dependent upon the time and stage at which they are harvest- ed. Then the method of storing will determine how long the gar- den produce will keep. Vegetables such as lettuce and cauliflower have to be used as soon as they reach maturity. Green peas and beans, and corn are canned and frozen. Plants, like cabbage, tur- nips, etc. stand cold, frosty wea- ther while others--potatoes, mel- ons, lima beans, etc. must be harvested before frost nips the vines. of deep frosts in the northern parts of the province. Choose a well drained spot and make a shallow excavation, three or four feet wide and one foot deep. Put a good layer of straw in this trench and pile the vege- tables in a conical heap. Cover with one or two feet of straw and when the weather gets nippy cold, add four to six inches of Soil. Ventilation should be provided at this time by standing a narrow drain tile on end through the soil with a piece of screen at the bot- tom to keep the rats out. Stuff the open end with a piece of bag- ging to absorb heavy rainfall. Pull cabbages roots and all and stand them heads down in a wide trench. Some vegetables, e.g. pump- kins and squashes, need warm, dry storage conditions such as a wooden shelf in the basement. In the urban home, a vegetable room in the basement is the most convenient storage place. Spray with a DDT. solution and use fresh leaves or sand. Construct a no-draft vent at door or win- dow and check with the necessary. thermometer, which should record approximately 40 degrees. Insul- ate the side of the room nearest the furnace if necessary. Burlap or tar paper and an extra wood siding is not an expensive propo- sition--compared to the cost of your summer work and the am- ount of vegetables you have gath- d. Small quantities of root crops [®® such as beets, carrots, parsnips, potatoes, rutabagas and salsify should be stored in a root cellar or dark basement in moist sand, either in piles of in boxes. Put in alternate layers of the roots and sand and the vegetables will not shrivel. When the vegetables are gathered the tops should be cut off. If larger quantities are to be stored, they can be piled in bulk in a root cellar or in an outdoor it. Storing in pits will vary according to the climate of the district as there is more danger presented: 4th-year star to Doro- thy Dowdle; 3-year star to Patsy Wright, Shirley Wilson, Ruth Millward and Greta Hadden; 2- year star to Margaret Fell, Sheila Withnell, Margaret Sharpe, Shir- ley Savin; Patricia Brett, Janet Doty, Barbara Gunyon, Ellen Clyde, Jean McNaughton, Diane Scarrow, Jean Skelding, and Wan- da Valentine; 1-year star to Judy Bayly, Patsy Bradly, Peggy Ben- son, Veronica Faryniuk, Lucy 'Withnell, Marjory Hawk and Shir- ley Dowdle.
