CHRISTMAS BAKING HINTS
Preparation of Fruit: Small
dried and glaceed fruits are us-
ually left whole, larger fruits and
nuts, such as candied cherries,
pineapple, walnuts, etc., should be
chopped or cut up to allow for
even distribution of fruit and to
ease the cutting of the finished
cake. Candied and dried fruits are
easily cut with scissors dipped in
flour or hot water. Prepared fruits
may be combined and lightly
dredged with flour- to prevent them
from sticking together or falling
to the bottom of the cake or pud-
ding.
Blanching Nuts: Blanching is
removing the skin from smooth
surfaced nuts. Pour boiling wa-
ter over the nuts; allow to stand
about five minutes. Drain and
rinse in cold water. Slip off skins.
If blanched nuts are to be shred-
ded or cut, do so while they are
still warm. Cover and store blanch-
ed nuts in refrigerator, if. they are
not to be used immediately.
Preparation of Pans: Fruit cake
is high in sugar content and burns
easily. Pans should be smoothly
lined with heavy paper, which in-
sulates the pans and prevents the
cake from scorching. Use two or
three Layers of plain brown or
heavy white paper, greasing thor-
oughly the top layer which will be
next to the batter.
Baking Fruit Cakes: Cakes
should be baked in pans sized ac-
cording to those suggested in re-
cipe being used. Oven tempera-
ture and baking times vary ac-
cording to the recipe. Heavily -
fruited cake will retain . a moist,
rich- texture -if a -shallow pan of
water is placed in the bottom of
the oven throughout baking period.
It is necessary to watch water lev-
el and replace water as it .evap-
orates. If top surface of cakes
seem to be getting too brown,
.cakes may be lightly covered with
a layer of heavy brown paper.
Baked cakes, once removed, from
oven, should be allowed to stand
in pans at least half an hour to

MEDITORIAL: Overweight not
only increases the risk of disease
but also complicates examination
and treatment.
The heart of an overweight per-
son is difficult to hear through the
stethoscope. Abdominal organs,
such as the liver, spleen, kidneys,
are harder to find and examine.
'Tumors inside the abdomen will
not be found early and inflamma-
tion such as appendicitis are dif-
ficult to diagnose. Delay often
means rupture and peritonitis. In-
correct blood pressure readings are
occasionally found in patients with
very fat upper ,arms.
Care of an obese person is us-
ually difficult, especially when it
is necessary to move or carry
him. Artificial respiration can be
a problem and in' some cases is
not too effective.
X-rays of overweight people are
often not as clear and thus im-
portant shadows can be missed.
The need for repeat X-rays for
clearer pictures is common. This
involves return visits to the X-ray
department and unnecessary wor-
ry.
Another big problem with obes-
ity is the technical difficulty en-
countered during surgical opera-
tions. The presence of too much
fat can hinder the surgeon. The
possibility of complications is
greatly increased and anesthesia
is more difficult to give.
A vein puncture (insertion of a
needle into the vein) is common
and occasionally this procedure is
life-saving (blood transmusions,
adrenalin injections. O b e s i t y

ing blood or injecting medicines

cool and "set", before being in-
verted on cake racks and paper
is removed.
Decorating Cakes: Many prefer
an almond paste topping on fruit
cakes. The paste, homemade or
commercially prepared, should be
spread on the cold cake, then top-
ped with ornamental frosting. Or•n-
amentalrrosting should be applied
in two layers, the first one being
quite thin. Fruits, nuts,' etc., at-
tractively arranged, should be
placed on top layer of ornamental
frusting before it hardens. Cakes
may be left united, but topped
with a glaze which imparts a
shiny surface. There are a num-
ber of popular glazes for fruit
cakes, one of the most simple is
corn syrup, heated to the boiling
point and brushed over the top
surface while glaze is still hot.
A glaze is usually applied to the
cake twice. Fruits, nuts, etc., are
arranged on the surface of the
cake between the first and second
glazings.
Storing Fruit Cakes: Fruit cakes
and pudding improve in flavor and
texture if allowed to "ripen" in
storage in cool place for several
weeks. The natural moisture of
the cake must be well sealed in.
Wrap cakes securely in aluminum
foil, and place in metal container
with lid. Cakes may also be
wrapped in moisture -proof film,
the ends sealed air -tight. If pre-
ferred, fruit cake .mrtay be wrap-
ped first in cheesecloth dipped in
wine, brandy or cider, then in
aluminum foil.

Grey Electors Return
Reeve and Councillors
Reeve and council in Grey Town-
ship were returned by acclama-
tion following nominating last Fri-
day. Clifford Dunbar remains ` as
reeve and council are: Archie
Mann, Lawson Ward, Glen Hueth-
er and Kenneth Bray.
School Trustees: William W.
Smith, Stanley Fisher and John
Conley were also returned by ac-
clamation.
Mrs. Edythe M. Cardiff, clerk,
presided for the nominations which
resulted as follows: For Reeve—
Clifford Dunbar (accl.), by Wm.
Brown and Wm. W. Smith; George
Hutchinson, by John Pearson and
Charles Hansuld.
Council all by acclamation—
Archie Mann, by Mark Baillie and
Kenneth McFarlane ; Kenneth
Bray, by Ken Wilbee and Jim Turn-
bull; Glenn Huether, by Stanley
Fischer and Roy Williamson; Law-
son Ward, by Wm. Brown and Carr
McDonald. -
School Trustees, all by acclama-
tion—Wm. Smith, by Clifford Dun-
bar and Archie Mann; John Con-
ley, by Carl McDonald and Wm.
Brown; Stanley Fischer, by Glenn
Huether and Gramme McDonald.
John Pearson was named chair-
man of the 'ratepayers' meeting
which followed.
Norman Hoover, school area sec-
retary -treasurer, reviewed the year
at the schools. His report showed
45 graduates and one teacher
change. All teachers were, grant-
ed an across-the-board increase of
$200.
It seems that all costs are get-
ting a little higher, Mr. Hoover
said, but the board had been able
to maintain the same mill rate
this year.
Improvements included a new
oil furnace at Nos. 1 and 5, and a
furnace room at No. 5. Tile floor-
ing was,laid at No. 7, Cranbrook,
and No. 5 on a trial basis. Cran-
brook and Moncrieff Schools had
96 desks installed. Surplus to start
1961 is expected to be $20,000, Mr.
Hoover said.
William Smith, one of the trus-
tees, said • some of the schools
have only 10 pupils, while others
have 40, yet the costs of teaching
the pupils doesn't vary. All in all,
there are 330 pupils in the area.
Trustees have two responsibili-
ties, stated Stanley Fisher, in his
speech. The first is to see that
the pupils get the best possible
education, and second, to the rate-
payers to keep expenses as low
as possible.
Jack Conley, the third- trustee
acclaimed, has just completed 10
years on the board and voiced his
intention to retire. Other members
with still a year of their term to
run are Jack Cox and Roy Wil-
liamson,
Mr. Cox expressed the feeling
that ff the salaries of the trustees
and council were twice as large,
more people might become inter-
ested.
Representative on Wingham
High School Board, James 'Arm-
strong, reported that six class-
rooms were added. Courses were
added in welding, woodworking
and electricity. Enrolment was 675
with 500 of these students being
transported by bus. Two more
buses had been put in service this
year. Only 11 students are from
•CORILLE A. MacALPINE
Death came suddenly to Corille
A. MacAlpine, husband of Gladys
McPhee, formerly of Seaforth, on
November 20, 1960, in Los Angeles,
California. Mr. MacAlpine suffer-
ed •a heart attack on July 26, but
seemed to be making -a steady re-
covery, an dwas en route home
from a holiday in Hawaii when he
was stricken.
-Born in Lorneville, Ont., he was
an Honour Graduate of Queen's
University in Mathematics • and
Physics, an dtaught in high schools
in Blenheim, Mitchell, Harrow and
Sutton, having been a principal
for 18 years.
Besides his widow, he is surviv-
ed by two sons, James, 21, of
Queen's University, and Kenneth,
18, of Sutton High School.
SMALL BUT PROUD
The smallest state in the U.S.A.,
Rhode Island, has a population of
under one million, but as the Book.
of Knowledge points out, it has the
distinction of being one of the or-
iginal 13 states of the Union.
DECISIVE BATTLES
The British historian Creasy
made a list of 15 battles which had
changed the course of history, be-
ginning .with Marathon and ending
with Waterloo. Following it up,
the Book of Knowledge suggests
that a more modern list would
begin with. Sedan_, in 1870 and end
with Hiroshima in 1945.

cafeteria, includitlg milk, at 30c.'
If a pupil brings his own lunch,
milk is 5c a glass, There seems to
be no control over teachers' sal-
aries, he said. Beside their annual
raise, they .seem to want two to
three hundred dollars more.
The different salaries in the var-
ious categories of the salary sche-
dule were dwelt with at some
length by Kenneth McFarlane, of
the Seaforth High School Board.
Four new classrooms, a cafeteria,
rifle range, heating plant and a
lagoor sewage system are all be-
ing added to the school at present.
The agriculture class is being
taught in the agriculture barn.
The staff includes 16 teachers
and the enrolment is 387 pupils,
Mr. McFarlane said.
Andrew Bremner, representing
Listowel Board, 'stated their new
addition was just completed in
August and already they are filled
to capacity and attendance figures
will be up for some years to come.
Referring to their budget of $242,-
500.00, of this amount $122,677.66
had been paid out in teachers' sal-
aries to October 31. This is the
largest item of expense and we
seem to have no control over the
salaries, he stated.
The school is now equipped with
two shops, one for metal work, the
other for woodworking. Eight bus-
es, two of them 65-passenfer buses,
transport the pupils at a cost of
$35,500.00. Pupils are provided ' a
good meal in the cafeteria for 25c.
At this point in the meeting a
good discussion was held on teach-
ers' salaries. A proposal was made
that all township councils should
get together and make a protest
to the Teachers' Federation over
the raising of teachers' salaries.
Each year problems seem to be
just a little bit different, said
Reeve C; Dunbar. County council
had been approached by several
committees, all wanting something:
There are five "hospitals in the
county, all in the process of build-
ing.
During the year the Airport had
been sold for $25,000, and an un-
expected provincial grant of $29,-
000 had helped quite a lot. Grey
Township's share of county ex-
penses is about one -twentieth.
There are -390 miles- of county
roads and there is talk of turning
back 82 miles to the townships.
Only about eight miles are built
each year. Road No. 19, starting
11/2 miles south of Ethel, north to
Ethel, thence east 3/4 of a mile,
had been built at a cost of about
$35,000.00 and had received con-
siderable criticism. However, it
was part of the county-"lidk and
he felt it was justified. Referring
to builtup roads, Mr. Dunbar stat-
ed he had protested to the en-
gineer about how Perth County can
slap hardtop on 22 miles of road
each year.
Questioned from the floor about
county salaries, Reeve Dunbar
said several salaries had been rais-
ed on the recommendation of the
1959 Finance Committee.
George Hutchinson pointed out to
the meeting that when he became
Reeve, the township was in debt
$6,000, and he had been able to
change this to a balance of $4,000,
while naming several projects he
had been able to accomplish. The
Grey. Meals are supplied in the present council, he stated, has
done frothing and has not reduced
the mill rate.
The first councillor to speak was
Archie Mann. He stated council
had tried to do as much work as
they could. Snowplowing had cost
$10,000 less last year than the year
before. During 1960, nine miles of
roadside improvements, also 20,000
yards of gravel had been put on
the roads. Voicing his disappoint-
ment over no bridge work this
year, he stated no approval had
ever come through, so council had
tried to do as much road work as
possible.
Questioned concerning snowplow-
ing, Mr. Mann stated that council
was trying to get plows that were
close to their work.
The next speaker, Kenneth Bray,
gave an outline of what they had
heard at the Good Roads conven-
tion. No bridge had been built be-
cause the province had run out
of money. One had been built in
Morris because someone had gone
through the old one. Referring to
the nine miles of roadside im-
provement, he felt council should
continue this policy for the next
five to seven years.
Glenn Huether thought an elec-
tion was a good thing. Snow fence
was costing council $500 a year,
and this year council had decided
that they would not put up any and
see how they would get along. The.
township got good service from the
snowplows last year and council
had again hired the same plows.
Referring to tile drainage loans,
Mr. Huether stated he was glad to
see more people taking advantage
of the Act, and he hoped this would
continue.
Lawson Ward thanked all who
had supported him at the polls last
year and stated he could'nt add
much to what had already been
said.
Carl Hemingway was called on
for a few words. Referring to the
heavy education burden the farm
land is paying, he stated that the
Ontario Federation is trying to see
if some fairer way of taxing farm
property cannot be found.
Fire Chief William Brown also
gave a report.

QUAKER REFORMER
One of the great early leaders
of penal reform mentioned in the

Fry. A noted Quaker, she was the
mother of a large family and very
punctilious about her domestic du-

be to reform the wrong -doer. She
died in 1845 at,the age of 65.
