The Wingham Advance-Times, 1951-01-31, Page 6Nell() Homemakers! The men at the
Crop, Improvement Conference are
talking about us. They want to }MOW
why homemakers do not buy more
Ontario potatoes and turnips, We are
not among the guilty because we pur-
chase home-grown vegetables when-
ever possible. Who could pass by such
inexpensive, nutritious foods? Ontario
growers arc producing high quality
crops and we should stop to con Bidet
the well-being of our farmer-neighbor.
Local vegetables are being, graded and
packaged more carefully and efficient-
ly now than in the past, If you ask
for Grade 1 potatoes or land pota-
toes you will find them of uniform
size, smooth and free from disease.
(The Hi-land packages come from
Dufferin County the highest garden
area in Ontario.). \Viten you purchase
turnips and onious look for ones ,hat
have had a narrow strut, few roots,
A nd thos e that are ,.cal and smoo,h.
Tht•re are some who think that pht -
.00(.-s awl turnips :tre fattening. In
answer to this statement may wt.! le-
mind you thin hu es ;and breads are .80
to 98 ot.r cent starch while these olot
\-egetables are only 20 per cent, In
other words, one medium sized potato
is no more Fattening than 1 slice
bread or 1 2 cluughnut or 1,3 serving 1,f
nipple pie.
Although it is true that potatoes
{'and turnips are a good source of food
energy, Vitamin C and iron, it is nec-
essary to remind you that potatoes
cooked in their jajckets or pressure
cooked turnips have the most nutri-
tional value,
TAKE A TIP
1. Do not soak peeled vegetables be-
fore cooking.
2. Cook as quickly as possible io a
covered pan.
3. Start cooking inta small amount of
boiling water. Reduce heat once
water is back to boiling.
4. Use the cooking water for soup
stock or gravy. (If potatoes are
boiled and the water is discarded,
about one-quarter of the iron may
be lost.)
5. Serve the potatoes and turnips as
soon as they are cooked.
6. Keep vegetables in a cool, well-
ventilated room to preserve the
greatest amount of Vitamin C.
7. Since potatoes reheated by pan
frying or browning are low in food
value it is inadvisable to cook two
meals' supply at one time. A good
way to use leftover baked potatoes
is to peel, cube and heat in a milk
sauce in a double boiler, Another
way to heat leftover boiled-in-skin
potatoes is- to make Duchess Pota-
toes.
Duchess Potatoes
1. Prepare mashed potatoes; 1 egg or
2 yolks, well beaten, may be added.
2. Butter 'baking-dish; put in pota,
toes, mound in centre, smooth the
surface, brush over with melted but-
ter.
3. tirown in but oven,

14 cup finely chopped parsley.

2. Turn into buttered bakim.; dish.
3. Cover with buttered crumbs;
brown in hot electric oven,.
Note: iz to 1 cup grated cheese may
be added to the sauce, Omit parsley.
French Fried Potatoes
1. Wash and pare potatoes; cut in
thin slices or in strips.
2, Soak in cold water 10 minutes.

a Little buys a of
of telephone service
EVERY DAY we receive hundreds of requests for
service. Its cost hasn't gone up as much as most
other things you buy; in fact, your telephone bill
now takes a smaller part of the family budget
than it did five years ago.
With more and more families getting telephones,
you can now talk to twice as many people. And so,
in that way alone, you get a lot more telephone
service for your money,
At the sante time, the quality of telephone
service keeps steadily improving in many ways, and,
as always, telephone people try to be helpful and
friendly. Any way you look at it, today's telephone
is big value!
II goa haven't net got service:
You can be sure your neighbourhood will
be served, and your place on the list pro-
tested. Taking care of people without
service as quickly as possible is one of our
biggest and most important tasks.
