T70B r SO YEARS AGO Mawli 7, 1881> CANADIAN NATIONAL I——------- ------------------------------------.------------ --------------------,---—.,---- Tested Recipes More Butter — Better Meals At first thought the per capita conumption of buttex’ in Canada, over thirty-two pounds a year, may seem a high figure. This amount how­ ever, might well be appreciably in­ creased fox* it is proven that butter, is an economical food, which gives high returns in flavour and food value for money spent, Butter is unique among fats be­ cause of its high vitamin A content. Two ounces of butter eaten daily will jneet the body’s requirement for this health protective vitamin. Recent research has shown that there is no loss of vitamin A potency when ter is held in storage xxox* when heated. Every good cook knows that ter adds flavor to foods which not be obtained by an othei’ products The daily serving of well-buttered vegetables and butter-made sauces are two suggestions fox* the practical homemaker.

I’ve got hold of one of the beams-” Water power has ofteix beeix the source around which towns have grown ox* manufacturing establish- ixients been brought into being. From the Village of Exetei’ to the Town of Clinton there is a stretch of 18 miles of the finest farming land and in the centre of this fertile area is to be found the. compact and thrifty hamlet of Kippen past which flows the small stream kn'own as the Kip­ pen Creek. Today the flow of water in it is not large except in the spring, but' in pioneer days, before the woods were cleared off, there was a large and almost constant supply of watex* the year round with enough fall to give plenty of power. The 'Canada Company officials re­ cognizing the value of this, were not slow in establishing a floux* mill, possibly as early as 1840. The build­ ing of the dam was not well done and the spring floods gave great trouble ixx washing out parts of it. It was then that Robert Bell, who had come in 1836 and had located south of Hensall, was induced to take ovei' the mill aixd try to make a success of it. He rebuilt the daxxx so well that it stood fox’ over 60 years, needing ixx that time only minor repairs. This gristmill, long knowix as Bell’s Mill, served an area at least 20 miles to the south, 10 miles to the north and for untold distances east and west. To the gristmill a sawmill was added sooix after and a James Ander­ son built another sawmill about half a mile farther’ on along the same Creek. All three were prosperous, and a village sprang up at the cor­ ners betweexx the two points. Robert Meilis opened a blacksmith shop and later started a general store. A school had beeix opened at an early date. A wagon-making and carriage- buildiixg shop was opened early by William Edgar and latex’ was con­ tinued successfully by W. C. Kyle, H. McIntosh and H. Ricker until closed in the early part of this century. Henry Shaffer, hotelkeeper for more than a generation, opened a general store across the street from the Meilis shop. He was succeeded by D. Weismiller, J. Ganning, D. Hay R. Brownlee and W. E. Butt, the present postmaster and proprietor. The first settlers in the community included Robert Bell, Robert Doig, William 'Cooper, James and John Mc- Llean, James Anderson and William Blair. Of course, those early settlers who came in the late thirties or early forties have long since passed to theix* reward, but in some cases their descendants of the third and fourth generations occupy the 'farms where those oldei’ people toiled so bravely. It was not until November 1, 1855, that a post office was opened with Robert Annan as its first postmaster The name was suggested by Robert Bell in honor of his native Village of Kippen, in 'Scotland. Bell met the deputy -postmaster-general in London who requested him to suggest a name He suggested Stirling, but the de­ puty thought it too “Scotchy” and asked how Mullingai’ would do, but Bell said it “was too Irish,” and then asked if Kippen would; do. This met with approval of the big man and Kippen. it has been ever since. Two churches, Presbyterian and Methodist, cared for the spiritual needs of the people from the early day’s until the date of union in 1925, when both congregations united and St. Andrew's United Church cares for all. The Presbyterian church Was built in 187'6 and the Methodist in 1869, the people previous to that’ time having met in William Cooper’s ham or the old schoolhouse, Though the population Of this pretty little burg has never been very many over 100, yet it has always been of real' value to the community. Mr. Wm.' Grigg Jr., who engaged in the tailoring with his father in Exeter years left on Tuesday for St. Thomas where he will be similarly engaged.

Ag- DRESSMAKER HAD TO QUIT SEWING Hands Swollen with Rheumatism Pity this poor dressmaker! Nine- tenths of her work consists of sew­ ing — and she was not able to sew. Rheumatism in the hands was her trouble, and she tried any number of remedies. But nothing helped much -— until she came to Kruschen. “Three-and-a-half years ago,” she writes, “I had a violent attack of rheumatic pains. My feet and hands were swollen. The pain was terrible. I was really quite crippled and help­ less. “I tried many remedies without success. Then I started on Kruschen Salts, and after one month, I could stand up again. Then, I walked with a cane. In three months, I was quite well again. As I am a dressmaker, you can imagine what it meant to me not to be able to work my sewing machine. What a treat to be able to walk, to work, and to be free from pain.”—(Mrs.) E.S. These stabbing pains of rheumatism are often caused by needle-pointed crystals of uric acid lodging in the joints, Kruschen brings relief be­ cause it helps to dissolve those troublesome crystals and to expel them from the system.

Beattie, of the First Presbyterian Church, Lon­ don, was the special preacher for the occasion. Large congregations at­ tended the services both morning and evening and they were bright and interesting. The choir gave special musical numbers and were assisted in the evening by Mr. Willim SenioT, of Toronto, who sang very pleasingly The members of the choir were at­ tired in their new gowns and caps, which Mr. Senior had brought from Toronto with him. The interior of the church has been handsomely de­ corated, together with the face of the organ and it presents a very neat and beautiful appearance. On Wednesday evening of last week the woodwork near the chimney in the home of Mr. E. J. Wethey, own- ned by Mr. Fred Ellerington, became ignited, And only for the quick work of several of the firemen who hur­ ried to the scene the house might have been destroyed. A door frame was torn out and the flames readily extinguished. J. Edward Taman Dies in An esteemed resident of Blyth in the person of Edward John Taman passed away as the home of his cous­ in, Deloss Taman, on Wednesday, February the 22nd, in his 62nd year. The late Mr. Taman was a son of the late John and Janet Taman, and was born in Richmond Hill, Ontario, in the year 1877, and- came to Blyth about forty years ago, where he has lived almost continuously ever since. Mr, Taman followed as au occupa­ tion the trade of tailoring for many years, and being of a quiet and retir­ ing .disposition took little part in public affairs. His one hobby was lawn bowling, a source from which he derived conisderable pleasure, In religion Mr. Taman was identified with the United Church, and the fu­ neral services were conducted by Rev. A. Sinclair, pastor of Blyth United Church. The late Mr, Taman never married and is survived by two brothers, J. H. Taman, of Toronto and W. W. Taman, of Exeter; four sisters, Mrs. Allin and Mrs. Jones, of Detroit; Mrs. Emigh, of Tottenham and Mrs. Burt, of London. Messrs. Joe Taman and Deloss Taman, at whose home the death occurred, are cousins. The funeral service, which was pri­ vate, was held on Friday last from the home of Mr. Deloss Taman at 2 pan. Interment was made in Union Cemetery. “It All Depends No man can ever hope to know what a woman thinks about things-— unless she tells him. And even then he can never be quite sure. We see pictures in the papers of mothers who have been in the pub­ lic eye for a long time and whose daughters are now growing up and, perhaps, wonder what they think about it all. Last winter I sat within a few feet of Billie Burke at the Cocoanut Grove in Los Angeles. The charming actress was entertaining a party. Youngest at the table was Patricia Ziefeld, tall, freckled daughter of Billie Burke and the late Flo Zieg­ feld. In that case there seemed to be nothing to wonder about. There were mother and daughter both evi­ dently proud of each other, having a good time together. Cynically, though, it was impos­ sible not to reflect that Miss Burke plays mature roles on the screen and that therefore she has no profession­ al need to keep a ‘teen age daughter in the back-ground. Such a claim of thought leads in­ evitably to the title of this column. “It All Depends." So much, today, is relative. And nothing is more relative than age. In Montreal, fol­ lowing the lead of Boston, unemploy­ ed men ovei’ the age of 40 have form­ ed an association to help each othei’ get jobs. To those of us who are more than 40 that age represents a time when we have forgotten, or at least pushed behind us the snap­ judgments and follies, and, perhaps, the enthusiasm of youth. We feel ma­ ture, able to do a better job than ever before, and look forward to a period in which our best work will be -done. But “it all depends.” At 25 we looked upon ourselves as mature. We did not feel callow, un-ready, unsure. In fact we were men. Today we are apt to think of the 25 year-olds as youngsters. Unless we pull our­ selves up sharply we are likely to treat them as youngsters. Are they? “It all depends.” Charles Augustus Lindbergh was 25 when he flew solo across the At­ lantic from west to east. Jim Molli- son was 26 when he set a record from Australia to England and 27 when he made the first east to west solo flight across the Atlantic. And a few. days ago Alex Henshaw a hitherto unknown aviator, lowered the round-trip record between Lon­ don and Cape Town, South Africa, by one day, seven hours, 13 minutes. He is 24 years old. Henshaw, unattended by the fan­ fare of publicity that marked 1’ecord flights of even a few years ago, took off on the return trip at 10118 p.m- on a Tuesday and laxided back in England at 1.51 p.m. Thursday. When he was assisted from the plane he asked foi’ a cup of tea. s A cup of tea! In our favorite fic­ tion the hard-pressed, exhausted hero always yells for a double brandy at the completioix of a patrol over “no man’s land.” He fortifies him­ self foi’ a bombing flight - which in those days lasted not more than five or six hours - by whiskies and sodas or champagne. Today, sustained by tea, probably very strong and very black, a young man of 24 - a member of the gener­ ation that was feared by its prede­ cessors to be slack, to have lower standards, to have been sadly influ­ enced by the post-war years - stag­ gers out of his plane at the end of a gruelling flight lasting 39 hours and 33 minutes and ask for — tea. Here and now this columnist pro­ claims that if this be a sample of the “twenties” in the yeai’ 1939 that young men of 24 have more sense today than he had at that age. ■In fact, to revert to feels that the “young” essary qualification. ■So, it all depends, standpoint you look old ox* 25 is young, to the text, no discovery been made of a woman’s feelin, wards youngei' members of hex’ sex. Perhaps it nevei’ will - unless Mrs Roosevelt or Mrs. Sinclair Lewis can interpret for us. THIWW, MABCH 2nd. 1939 FROZEN FRUITS INCREASE Clarence J. Awde, Hagorsville, Ont., bought 279 Bray Chicks last year. Out of 279 he only lost 4, “Not a poor chick in the bunch,” says Mr, Awde. Every chick you Jose lessens your chance fox* jyof it. Play safe, as Mr. Awde did. Order Bray Chicks this year. BRAY HATCHERY Exeter, John St. N. Rhone 246 or Hamilton, Ont. or BEN CASE, R. R. 3, EXETER frozen estab­ in ac- frozen The means of processing fruits in Canada is now well lished, with several factories tive operation. The pack or fruit for remanufacturing purposes in 193 8 was 9,900,000 pounds. Blue­ berries were frozen in considerable quantities and shipped in carloads, principally to the United States. To­ tal shipments in the six months, April to September, 1938, amounted to 601,00 0 pounds. With the estab­ lishment of suitable equipment for handling frozen fruit in retail stores during the coming year, it is expect­ ed that sales will be considerably in­ creased. • CANADA AS EXAMPLE Expressing the hope that the sug­ gestions made by Canadian poultry experts might be of value to British poultry producers, the “Fish Trades Gazette”, the national chronicle of the poultry trade in Great Britain, recently reproduced the main points of the .Dominion Department of Ag­ riculture’s pamphlet on the grading and packing of poultry. “While it is true, of course,” states the Gazette, “that there are several poultry farms in this (Great Britain) country which are run on up-to-date lines, there are many which do not come into line, and it may be helpful therefore if an outline is given of the program adopted by Canadian chicken pro­ ducers.” FARM MILK PRODUCTION Milk produced on Canadian farms was substantially higher in the fall period of 1938 '(.September-Novem­ ber) than in 1937. With ample feed supplies, more cows milking, and a possible increase in the production of milk per cow, the farm milk supply in the winter periods, states the quarterly report, is likely, to exceed that of the December-February per­ iod of the previous years, the most important increase taking place in the early part of the winter season. During the fall quarter, also, con­ centrated milk products in Canada reached a total of 33,300,000 pounds 72 per cent, of which represented whole milk products and 28 per cent milk by-products.
