[ The Axes Against the Axis;
Here’s Toughest Home Front Job
To meet a goal of 200,000,000 feet of airplane spruce this
year for bombers, Canadian lumberjacks are rushing an all
out effort. More than a thousand years old, eight-feet thick,
and towering 250 feet straight up, the 100-ton spruce colossi
crash to earth under the hammering blows of the lumber
men’s axes. So arduous is the lumberjack’s work that they
“burn out” in three months, are sent home to recuperate.
Above: Jack Crosse (left) and
Ollie Brackees are a two-man
team that's been battering down
these giant spruce for ten years.
They're notching a tree with
their razor-sharp axes. Right:
Tony Varga, 242-pound Hun
garian, is typical of the woods
men engaged in the spruce log
ging project. Ex-wrestlers, box
ers, seamen, and longshoremen
are enlisted in this giant lumber
ing program.
A huge 12-foot wide spruce is felled—crashing to earth with the
force of its 100 tons of weight. Pound for pound, these spruce are
stronger than steel and getting them down is considered the most
gruelling job on the home front.
A spruce log train rolls toward the river where the logs will
be floated to a mill. Soon this wood will be part of a Canadian
. built mosquito bomber. Once again the spruce will proudly rise
high into the air. This time to help bomb the Axis.
These fuselages are nearly ready for the final assembly line—
where the final transformation of great spruces to speedy mosquito
bombers will take place.
The finished product. A mosquito bomber soars over the clouds.
The result of the labors of the hard-working lumberjacks.

One Whole Chicken
Can Be Made
Into Two Meals
- -
You’re the clever homemaker who
saves on chicken by using only half
a chicken for roasting. You can
have the stuffing, too, by mounding
it under the chicken when you roast
it in the pan to get all the wonderful
flavor of the meat in it.
i
Most families are so reduced that
few homemakers find it necessary
to stew or roast a
0 whole chicken for
their meals. In
stead, it’s much
smarter to use
one half of the
chicken for stew
” ing, the other half
tor roasting, or perhaps in making
numerous and delicious dishes using
cut up chicken.
Chicken is a good source of pro
tein and we can use it in place of
meat dishes regularly. In addition
it’s a delicious food that combines
well with many other types of food,
and goes with most vegetables and
fruits in the menu.
Consider, for example, many of
the chicken salads which can be
made up with fruits or vegetables,
and for sandwich fillings. Then, too,
you can serve chicken either warm
or cold with many vegetables and
fruits, as a good start on getting
what you peed of the seven basic
food groups necessary to health.
You probably have your own way
of stewing and roasting chicken, but
instead of using one whole chicken
for either of these methods, split it,
use one half for stewing, the other
for roasting.
Cut the fowl in half, lengthwise,
and cook one half with several
carrots, celery, parsley, onion, and
seasonings in enough water to cov
er until tender. Make dumplings, if
you like, to go with the stew.
•For roast chicken, cook stewing
hen split in half lengthwise until ten
der. Mound 4 to 6 cups of well
seasoned dressing in bottom of shal
low pan, well greased where dress
ing is placed. Arrange dressing to
keep outline of chicken. Press
cooked half of chicken cut side down
over dressing. Brush chicken with
melted fat. Bake uncovered in a
hot oven (400 degrees) until chicken
is nicely browned, about Vt hour.
A few leftover pieces of chicken
either from the roast or from stew
ing can go into a salad. You’ll like
this combination with fruit:
Chicken and Fruit Salad Bowl.
(Serves 4 to 6)
1 cup diced chicken
V4 teaspoon salt
114 cups seedless grapes
2 oranges, peeled and sectioned
14 cup blanched almonds
French dressing
Add salt to cjiicken. Cover salad
bowl with shredded lettuce. Arrange
| grapes over half of top, oranges
over other half. Pass french dress
ing.
Still another way of stretching
your meat, or chicken, if there is
aosuiuieiy enougn
to go around is to
serve it with po
tato salad You
may like it hot or
you may like it
cold. Here’s one I
that’s hot: {
Lynn Says:
The Score Card: Ceiling prices
have been announced on many
rationed foods, and it’s a good
! idea to consult the lists when
you go shopping. It will help you
in buying and budgeting.
Most of the times we’re con
cerned with buying foods in sea
son, but it’s more important to
buy in season now when you’re
preparing to put up foods for the
fall and winter.
In case you don’t have your
own garden, you might be of
help in picking vegetables and
fruits to some farmer who does
not have enough help. If you
are canning, this is a splendid
way of getting fresh produce.
Those of you city dwellers who
can neither have your own Vic
tory garden or help pick prod
j uce should get to the market
early to get as fresh produce as
j possible.
