Secrets from the Blue Barn Kitchen By Kay Grose Listowel Beef stew, while it sounds common after all the recipes being put out today, can be a real treat for the family. It can be used with dumplings on top or, for a change, place a pastry crust on top --individual or in a casserole. Stuffed tomatoes are a little different and here are two onion recipes for cold weatherspecial- ties.

Dredge meat in flour, brown slowly in a little hot fat in a heavy kettle. Add an onion and enough water to cover (about one quart). Simmer about two hours. Add the vegetables and sim- mer another hour. Thicken with flour, season to taste. An easy way to mix flour and liquid is to take one tbsp. flour, one tbsp. liquid in a jar with a tight lid and shake well until smooth. Always add the dry to the liquid and there will not be lumps in your gravy. DUMPLINGS 2 cups sifted flour 1 tsp. salt 4 tsp. baking powder 2 tbsp. fat 2/3 cup milk METHOD Mix flour, salt and baking powder. Cut in fat until texture is mealy.

Chancel Choir Sings at Service WROXETER-"Win Them One by One" by Austin Miles, a real challenge to the people of today, was sung by the junior choir at the service in the Uni- ted Church on Sunday. During the offering they rendered "The Bible, God's Book", by Fischer and Halvorsen. The intermediate choir also occupied the choir loft. Mrs. A. Ed Martin was the director. Rev. F. Taylor based his sermon on the text, "Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God." Mr. Taylor said that God created the world but we make it His enemy by our activities. He pointed out that an attract- ive route is prepared when a nation expects a royal visitor and in our homes we make special preparations when guests are expected. He said we must make our own prepa- ration for the Deliverer. Mr. Taylor said there are no short cuts for spiritual life. God asks our willingness to overcome bad habits in private, community or national life. The speaker asked, "Are we for God, or are we against Him?"
