HomeMy WebLinkAboutClinton News-Record, 1953-02-12, Page 8Hello Homemakers! Shrove Tuesday, the day before Ash Wed- nesday, ushers in the Lenten, sea- son. It was so-called from the custom of confessing or receiving shrift on that day. Among many nationalities there is a special oc- casion for rejoicing—Italian- .folk may have a Carnival, the French a Mardi Gras and to the English, a family eating pancakes is typ- ical. February 17 is Shrove Tues- day this year, Since the modern trend is to use. the waffle iron and prepared mixes we shall remind you of do's and. don'ts in the preparation of crisp, waffles at your table. Now- adays mother should be enjoying her serving after the first batch is made since a waffle iron will not mark the finish' of the table. So make therri'lft the table. By the way, we drake the first num- ber of servings and place them individually on the shelf in a low temperature oven before mealtime.. TAKE A TIP 1. If the waffle iron has not been used for several months it is wise to repeat, the seasoning method. To do this, heat the iron for'2 minutes, then pour on hot -unsalted fat or vegetable 'oil and close the grids for about 2 minutes, At bake position pour on batter, then as soon as the steam stops coming from sides remove waffle and discard ,it. 2. If there are any crumbs on the iron brush with a hard brush. 3. If waffles stick to- the mould, the iron may not be hot en- ough, batter may be too thin. or contain too much sugar. 4. Always close waffle iron be- tween the baking 'of waffles. Leaving it open cools the top grid so that the next waffle does not cook evenly. 5. Length of baking time depends on consistency and amount of batter, A fruit batter, for ex- ample, bakes more quickly than a plain waffle. Usually an 800 watt requires 4 minutes to heat to bake and 4 minutes to cook the waffles. Never lift the lid until reasonably 'sure that the waffle is done or it will stick or separate.' 6. For variation add a dash of your favourite spice to the waf- fle batter. Better still, orange or lemon rind,,, 7. Accompany Waffles or pancakes . with fried' sausages, bacon or ham as a main course. 8. As a dessert course or in place of toast and jam serve waffles with warmed jelly, lemon sauce, drained fruit such as pineapple. Of course everyone favours rich maple syrup having deitted the waffles with butter. THE QUESTION BOX Mrs. T.

(CFA News and Information Bidletin) "From the point of view of national policy we treat our automobile better than we do our dairy cow," says. H. H. Hannam, president of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture, in a recent address before the New Brunswick Farmers' As., 4 sociation at Fredericton. "We seem to have little appreciation of the real value of the dairy cow in our national economy. We hold the price of automobiles artificially high by tariff pratection—even*though we have found that• 'We, do not need it for farm tractors. "We placed an outright ban against the importation of used automobiles in 1930 and have held it there in the face of all the public opposition there was to the ban on a sub- stitute product for, butter. We pay men far higher wages per hour for making ,autos than we pay dairy farmers and skilled farm laborers for milking cows. In one case we pay high overtime wages for week-ends when they work, but nothing" in the other ease. "Yet in this modern age the dairy cow is the best and oldeat forage harvesting machine on the mhrket, She is equipped with a mower and grinder at one end and a manure spreader on the other. In between is an extremely compleX and highly efficient manufacturing _plant specially designed for the con- version of large quantities of pasture, silage and' hay into nature's most nearly perfect food—milk." 4-4-11.+1-11-+4-4+41,40-r-re-e-e-e-e- News of Londesboro Clinton Monument Shop.

PRYDE and SON CLINTON EXETER -- SEAFORTH THE VOICE OF TEMPERANCE The traffic in intoxicating bev- erages is a public nuisance. To institute legislation for its control is one 'of the most difficult tasks any government has to grapple with. Different types of legisla- tion have been devised, In Huron County we have the Canada, Temp- erance Act. We have had it for over 30 years. We believe it iS a good law because it prohibits the sale of intoxicating beverages. It saves our communities from the menace of beverage rooms, beer parlors, liquor stores, cocktail lounges. Moreovet the evidences of intoxication are seldom seen in our Huron County communities., There have been ill-considered at-' tempts to discredit this Canada, Temperance Act and to evade it,, but the Citizens of Huron who are, concerned for the public, good are satisfied that it is a good law: They are not deceived by those; who set out to misrenresent it. Recently the Globe & Mail carried articles which attempted to dis- credit the value of t h e Canada Temperance Act, The people of Huron were not deceived and they were not pleased. Meanwhile they Would give every encouragement to the officers Of the law who, in an increasing itimber of eases, are Maintainilfg—the integrity of the — This 045,erti5enient :is .insarted the..H016p ,00pntY teMPerailee • FaeratIOnr' 643 • hot since it should not be at a temperature when a drop of water will roll in the pan . . . never smoking hot.
