242 British Columbia Women’s Institutes

to Courtenay on July 1, 1914. ‘The coming of the railway opened up the
modern era in the district, with rapidly-growing population, new schools
and churches, industrial and commercial growth and a new tourist
industry. To keep pace with industrial expansion and home electrification,
power sources had to be developed. ‘The John Hart development at
Campbell River was the first step in opening up the district’s great power
potential. Sawmills, pulp and paper mills, new homes, and growing busi-
ness are already taxing the output of all power sources.

The future looks bright for this part of the Island. We can look for
this growth to continue and accelerate. We can hope that education,
human welfare, culture, and spiritual growth will keep pace with material
erowth to make the area an outstanding part of British Columbia.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

A few grains of salt will often make cream whip. Egg stain on silverware
can often be removed with salt applied with a clean dry cloth.

Add lemon juice to water in which rice is to be boiled, the whiteness will
be increased and the grains will remain whole.

Scald rhubarb for a few minutes before cooking and it will take less sugar
to sweeten.

To remove paint from window glass, rub well with hot sharp vinegar.
Cut new bread with a hot knife.

Hang out nylon undies dripping wet. You will be surprised how little
ironing they will need—it is wringing, especially by hand, that makes
creases.

After carefully washing your candlewick bedspread, hang double, wrong
side out. As the wind blows the cover the tufting rubs together keeping
it fluffy. |

To remove marks left on carpets by heavy furniture, lay a damp cloth over
the spot, and place a ‘hot iron over the top. The steam restores the pile—
when dry, brush the pile gently with a stiff brush.

When those gadgets with rubber suction cups keep falling down every little
while, rub the part that fastens to the wall with castor oil, and you will
find that they will clamp as firmly as if stuck with glue.
