The sign reads: "This property for sale." Teachers do net appreciate the sentiment. - 0 - 0 -0 - Here's something John Strong of ?KNX tried to TELL ME IT'S TRUE. Scums that somebody in Teeswater is really anxious to get construction underway on a new Teeswater post- office building. And if seeing is be- lieving that certain somebody is will- ing. to supply the tools for the job. But perhaps we shoald start from the beginning. Since the Dominion Government turned thumbs down on a new Post Office fur the villag private capital has been offered from three different sources, Some pranksters aware of this fact and also thinking he knows the names of the persons, took ad- vantage of Hallowe'en and during the night hours staked off one of the suitable sites and erected a sign reading "McTavish, alePhee and Mc- Donald contractors." Still not content with their handi- work, the -Pranksters" were out again later last week, and when business- men began their day's work they found a cement mixer, a dozen bags of cement and several shovels on the lot. And on the 'old" post office build- ing citizens found a sign, in two colours no less, asking them to please mail their Xmas cards early this year. It was marked "signed with the nam- es of the same three gentlemen of Scottish deacent; — By BOB CLARK — From now on, one Indianapolis milkman is going to look twice before he leaves, Clyde Fulton, Jr., doesn't trust "Exit" signs any more, He says he backed out of a door marked "Exit" in an Apartment building, and made an Exit that was too fast for him, He fell to the ground 15 feet below. Fulton's suing for 15 thousand dollars. - - 0 - 0 - Gypsy Rose Adams has a way with a handkerchief and torn greenbacks, But Mrs. Eva Wakefield of. New York City says she's tried her trick once too often. Mrs. Wakefield is the granddaughter of one of America's greatest skeptics, the Late Robert In- gersoll, but she was almost sold by the Gypsy. Here's how Mrs. Wakei ield tells it. She says. "Every time the Gypsy woman tore up a One or a Five Dollar bill and tied it in her hankerchief, my money was doubled," "That is" she adds, "Until she tore up more than 18-thousand dollars in bills, tied it in her handkerchief, and told me to wait six months before opening the bundle." Says Mrs. Wakefield, "I couldn't wait that long. .1 untied the bundle the same day. Instead of find- ing 37- thousand dollars, I found 300 one-dollar bills inside," Gypsy Rose Adams now is twisting her handker- chief less delicately in jail, awaiting hearing on a Grand Larceny charge. - 0 -0-0 - Profanity in a Goderich pool room, is helping to pay for a church. A mild cussword costs a patron a cent. ,A stronger oath calls for a 10-cent fine. In one week the plan earned $11 for the rebuilding of Knox Presbyterian Church. - 0 - 0 - 0 - The snow over the week-end has made it a little hard for the boys who deliver the papers throughout the country. But from Los Angeles, Cal- ifornia, we learn of one lad who de- livers his daily papers in a chauffeur- ed Cadillac, He is the son of an NBC Radio Executive, and the lad delivers the papers for pocket money.

The "boy" came to the door dress- ed in his "relief" finery. Mainly a pair of blue trousers that had seen better days. Wonder if it was a little "breezy on the Kneezy Alston'?" Quebec has one of the largest and most accessible" deposits of the metal titanium, as strong as steel, but much lighter. Hello Homemakers!

The dough for roll-out cookies should be thoroughly chilled in the electric refrigerator for an hour to prevent spreading in the pan, 2. Do not grease an aluminum cookie sheet for cookies. Grease a tin pan lightly with salt-free fat. 3. Tough cookies are due to too much flour and too much rolling, 4, To keep some cookie dough for making fresh ones several days later, roll it in cellJphane or heavy wax paper, seal in the ends and store in the electric refrigerator, 5. Cookies stick to the pan because of excessive high temperatures and pans which may not be absolutely clean. Then, too, cookies should be transferred with a spatula to a cake rack as soon as taken from oven. If the cookies tend to crack place the sheet on a cloth wrung out of hot water for a few minutes, 6, If cocoanut becomes dry, sprinkle well with milk; place it in covered pan in warm oven for 10 to 15 min- utes. 7, To make a glazed coating on fruit tarts and icing, melt a little cur- rant jelly and pour over baited and iced goods. THE QUESTION BOX Mrs. B. J. asks: Can we prevent holes from appearing in aluminum jelly molds? Answer: We suggest that aluminum molds be lightly rubbed with salad oil (not a salty oil) to keep aluminum front deteriorating. Mrs. C. T. asks for a recipe for candy apples and why the glaze be- comes soft, Camlled Apple-Sticks 2 cups sugkar cup light corn syrup 3J4 cup water Red colouring 12 red apples 12 skewers Flavouring Put sugar, corn syrup and water in double boiler.

Note: Moist or juicy apples will soften glaze in a 'bay or so. Rainy weather causes softening, too. WASHING STUFFED TOYS Most of us find that a child dearly loves a stuffed toy, he it a doll or an animal. Before too much time has elapsed these stuffed articles begin to look soiled and bedraggled. If you know that the toys are stuffed tight- ly with cotton batting and that the covering is color-fast, why not gather them up on the first nice, breezy day and give them a washing up?

Fill the bowl or basin with fresh water and quickly dip the toy in and out several times to remove the suds, If you arc using a detergent the suds will rinse out quickly and leave no hard water film, As soon as the rinsing process has been completed,. shake the toy vigorously and roll it in a clean bath towel. Pat it all over to remove all the water you can and then loop a cord around it and hang the toy to dry. If the drying is done indoors, tie the cord to a clothes hanger and place in the direct path of an electric fan. K. M.
