The Wingham Advance-Times, 1965-03-04, Page 5"As with meat,so with vege- tables, few are not the better for the friendly companionship of the onion," wrote an epicure of the latter half of the 19th century. "If honour be paid to the first pig that uprooted a truffle, what of the first man who boiled an onion? And what t, of the still mightier genius who first used it as seasoning for his daily fare?" The first dehydrated onions came to market in the early 1930's, but didn't become real- ly well-known until about ten years ago. Froin that time until the present more and more homemakers have discovered these convenient seasonings. Instant minced is the newest of the dehydrated onion -season- ings family. having been pre- * ceded by instant onion powder and onion salt. Any one of these gives excellent onion aroma to a dish, but they are used a bit differently. Instant minced onion can be added dry to any dish which has sufficient liquid in it for purposes of re- constitute. To replace the wa- ter removed from onion in the process of dehydration, add one part water to one part instant minced onion and let it stand for three to five minutes. Onion powder is just that, a flavourful seasoning for sand- wich fillings, salad dressing, dips, etc. Onion salt may be used the same way, except that this is mixed with table salt.

THREE-MINUTE EGG FOR BREAKFAST The market experts of the Canada Department of Agrici- culture say that our consump- tion of eggs has been going down the past few years and especially at breakfast. Eggs for breakfast are almost forgot- ten, The busy working wife and mother cannot find the time to prepare egg dishes and reaches for the "ready mades" instead of the egg carton. The three-minute egg may be the answer. The value in a satisfied feeling all morning is worth taking the time to heat the water and pop in an egg for each member of the family.

George Brooks and Mrs, Don Adams, THE MAN IN THE GLASS When you get what you want in your struggle for self And the world makes you king for a day,' Just go to a mirror and look at yourself And see what that man has to say. For it isn't your father or mo- ther or wife Whose judgment upon you must pass; The fellow whose.verdictcounts most in your life Is the one staring back from the glass. Some people may think you a straight-shootin' chum And call you a wonderful guy, But the man in the glass says you"re only a bum If you can't look him straight in the eye. He's the fellow to please, never mind all the rest For he's with you clear to the end. And you've passed your most dangerous, difficult test If the man in the glass is your friend. You may fool the whole world down the pathway of life And get pats on your back as you pass But your final reward will be heartaches and tears If you've cheated the man in the glass. CARPET MAY LOOK CLEAN YET CONCEAL DIRT IN PILE Just as you can't always tell a book by its cover, you can't always tell whether a carpet is clean by its colour. In fact, a carpet of somewhat neutral col- our can look reasonably clean yet have nearly its own weight in dirt concealed in the pile. One of the most effective ways to determine whether a carpet is dirty or not is to look inside it. Actually, there are four chief types of dirt which need to be removed from rugs and carpets. Surface litter such as hair, thread, ravellings, sewing scraps, bits of paper and crumbs is comparatively easy to remove except for some stubbornly clinging substances such as hair and ravellings. Light dust particles and lint from textiles pose a more dif- ficult removal'problem for they settle part way down in the pile and they are capable of dulling or even changing carpet colors. Gritty dirt from sand, gravel, mud, loam and snow which is tracked in on shoes or by pets, always settles to the base of the carpet pilc. The sharp edges of these particles, pressed, against pile fibres by feet or furniture, cause carpets to wear out faster. Once imbedded this type of dirt is difficult to re- move. The last classification is a sticky substance called "carpet grease' which makes up as much as five percent of the to- tal carpet dirt. It is a com- pound of particles of tracked -in rubber and asphalt together with greasy particles from cooking fumes, tobacco fumes and in- dustrial exhausts. Carpet ' grease acts as a binding agent which hastens the colour -dull- ing process by making dirt par- ticles cling tightly; Knowing about the cleaning problem is basic to good carpet care, say carpet experts, who stress that proper care demands use in the home of a carpet sweeper, vacuum cleaner and a rug shampooer, Each has a dis- tinct role to play. The role of a carpet sweep- • er is to carry out a daily quick brush in heavy traffic areas for the removal of ash tray spills, crumbs and litter. The carpet sweeper also fluffs up carpet pile through its combing action and removes surface dirt and grit before it can work itself into the carpet pile. The vac- uum cleaner should be used weekly. Home shampooing, generally, should take place every six months or more fre- quently if required due to spe- cial conditions. Inside the Double Dashes A woman who admits she would probably have been a suf- fragette if she had lived a gen- eration or so earlier advises the Canada Council to watch its double dashes. It seems that institution is going to assist financially in on- the-job training of administra- tors for symphony orchestras, theatres and other cultural or- ganizations. It is looking for "four young men --or women -- who show tlic suitable aptitudes: She thinks the Council should look for four young men or wo- men. Those of her sex who want to can now get out of the kitchen, she said, why leave them in a parenthesis? - The Printed Word CIRCLES UNDER EYES?

Romance Is Everywhere A human interest story in the Visalia (California)Times- Delta has been brought to our attention about a young couple, Barbara Brown and Airman Dar- rell Hood, who were injured in a car accident while on their way to their wedding, which was to have been a double wedding with Miss Brown's sister. The young lady was placed in a body brace because of a fractured vertebra and Airman Hood in a brace for a dislocated vertebra in his neck. When the staff at the hos- pital learned that Mr. Hood was to be sent to a military hospi- tal the next day, forcing their separation for an indefinite per- iod, they put into motion a ser- vice never before offered by the hospital. They planned a wed- ding. A florist was called to bank the end of a corridor with red and white carnations, gladioli and tulips, and to make up a bridal bouquet of white carna- tions. A lab technician offered to be soloist. The minister who was to have married them had already arrived after hearing the news, and the bride's grand- father, a minister, had hurried to her bedside after the accident. They both took part in the ser- vice, The bride and groom were wheeled into the corridor from their separate wards on gurneys and immediate relatives, about 30 patients, nurses, aides and doctors were wedding guests. The following day Airman and Mrs. Hood were both taken by ambulance to the military hospital. living Liturgical Year Is Fr. Mooney's Subject The March meeting of the C. W. L., which was held on Monday evening, was begun with the recitation of the Ros- ary led by Fr. Mooney and the benediction of the Blessed Sac- rament. At the meeting conducted in the parish hall, 25 visits to the hospital were reported made in February. Each baby born in that month was given a cruci- fix. A nominating committee was appointed to draw up a slate of officers to take office at the April annual meeting. The committee consists of Mrs. George Skinn, Mrs. Keith Mont- gomery ontgomery and Miss Margaret Keogh. Fr. Mooncy gave an instruc- tion on how Catholics could live the Liturgical Year. The church supplies the outward fortns,such as candles, blessings and Lenten ashes but the spirit must be present as well. These outward forms have a profound message. Parishioners trust rea- lize that they are really united with Christ; Christ is living to- day. The life of Christ is por- trayed from the beginning to the end of the Liturgical Year, An example of living the Litur- gical iturgical Year is to teach Children that the four weeks of Advent tepresent the time itt history from Adam to Christ, that Ad- vent is a preparation forChrist and that mortification should increase. These mortifications could be counted by means of beans. The meeting closed with prayer. MEATLESS MEALS The practise of vegetarian- ism dates back at least to the serious disagreements with the Canadian government. Many of these differences concerned Newfoundland's relations with the United States, and the ar- guments became most heated when matters of tariffs and of fisheries regulations were con- cerned. In fact, Newfoundland twice sought to arrange with the U.S. a reciprocal tariff and fishery agreement from which Canada would have been ex- cluded.
