HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Brussels Post, 1947-11-5, Page 7CHRONICLES OF GINGER FARM By Gwendoline 4. Clarke "If you can't have what yott want, puke do with what you've got" That, surely, is a praiseworthy maxim but one which, I fear, is less practised now than it used to be. There are so many gadgets on the market these days that individual in- genuity is hardly called upon at all, Pens that require no filling, washing machines no oiling, waxes no rub- bing; thermostats for furnaces; blowers for fuelling; electric ranges automatically controlled and so on, ad infinitum, But when these time - and -mind -savers go out of actidn, or when we can't get just what we need for repairs—what then?'•''We' think we are stunk don't we --our ingenuity has gone rusty froth disuse, so we have to shop around until our wants arc satisfied. It is very rarely we make do with what we've got 6r try some sort of substitute, As a result that God-given quality of ingenuity is called upon less and less. * * * I was renminded of this last week because of the original ideas display- ed by a friend we had staying here. We have not lonown him very long so naturally we are not fully ac- quainted with his various vices and virtues, Presently we discovered he enjoys playing the violin—by ear, Immediately I went upstairs to the ball closet—which is similar to that of Fibber McGee—and from it I unearthed a violin, Onc string was Even the British—Though ma- terial shortages harass them, )3ritsh fashion designers are not unfriendly to the new "long look. " Here a new London creation features a skirt with hemline 14 inches from the floor. a bine rnrl gray striped tweed suit with two rows of buttons a.toss tine waist, Brit- Ish women average four cloth- ing coupons a month—this cost 18 missing, a peg was broken and there was no resin, "I'm afraid that's not much use to you," I exclaimed re- gretfully, * Our friend made no comment, Anyway he is a man of action, not words. Instead of talking he tighten- ed the strings, found one to replace the one that was broken and then went to work on the wooden pcg. He took a short round pencil, shaved it.down smoothly until. it fitted snugly into the hole. Then lie made slits in the pencil Yo hold the string firmly, When Ise had tightened it the result was all that could be desired. For the rest of the afternoon we were treated to an intermittent pro- gram of Old Time music except one time when he disappeared and upon his return hast made me a small hook like the ones I had seen hang- ing in his car. The "hook" was made of heavy wire and fitted over the top of the car window. You have prob- ably seen them in the.stores but this fellow made them for himself, IIe would be a useful man to have around. I was gumbling that same evening because'the spool on my sewing machine was not working evenly, Our visitor had an idea the spring might be a little too slack. He fixed .it with about a quarter of an inch of matchwood I Now it works perfectly. * * * This fellow is a product of West- ern Canada—maybe that accounts for his ingenuity. From personal ex- perience we ]mow that the prairie breeds resourcefulness. When folk there are up against it their invent- ive genius reaches its peak, Fuel in summer is dry "cow chips" picked up from the pasture. And it is good fuel, believe me. So good that one of our prairie neighbors in those far- off days burnt his house down with it! When funds ere short coffee w m de b r iii b rl r was a y oast g a ey o wheat and then using it in the ordin- ary way. But I confess it needed an uir as t enjo it Milk as ac ed to o w t 9 ] Y often in short supply and babies were sometimes given fingers of fat salt pork to suck. And believe it or not, the babies thrived. * * * Coming back home ... I am going to need a little ingenuity myself. To make Partner two pairs of pyjamas I bought ten yards of pyjama cloth. I cut out both pairs and thought I bad managed very well until I dis- cvered I was short one pair of sleeves! There was no more material to be had at the store; none at the wholesale house and Partner in the meantime has fallen , once again through the seat and back of the old pyjamas. Suddenly a thought struck me: the old and the new are very similar in colour and design, so now I intend to cut the sleeves from the lower part of the pants where the material is hardly thin at all. Thrill of Lifetime Naturalist George MacReynolds took a stroll to view the wonders of nature and had the thrill of his 88=year lifetinne. A spike -buck deer popped up be- side him and stepped up boldly to nibble at a piece of candy in his out- stretched hand. Deer and naturalist walked lei. surely back toward town as motor- ists stopped to watch in amazement. MacReynolds had to hide in the bushes to lose his friend. a ■ Answer to Previous 1Pasal• U. S.

Princess Elizabeth Cannot Be Left Waiting at ,Altar There is no chance that Princess Elizabeth will be left waiting at the altar by a bridgroom wino doesn't show up, the minute -by -minute program for her wedding on Nov. 20 discloses. The Princess will not even leave Buckingham Palace until one min- ute after her future consort, Lieut. Philip Mountbatten, Is a s entered Westminster Abbey by a side door. * * * Fewer than 100 guests, including foreign royalty, will sit down to the weddin breakfa g st at Bncicmgham Palace. after Pr"n ess Eliz 1' n, c abet n s marriage, a Buckingham P a l a c e spokesman stated. * * * It now has been decided that there is to be no state function and no state ball, the spokesman said. The only big -scale social gathering in connection with the royal wed- ding will be a reception at Buck- ingham Palace by the King and Queen on the evening of Nov. 18, which fewer than 1,000 guests will attend. The Education Ministry announces that all British school -children will be given a holiday when Princess Elizabeth and Lieut, Philip Mount- batten are wed Nov. 20. A public holiday will not be declared, how- ever, in order to minimize inter- ference with factory production * * * The British War Office announces that ofccrs and other ranks on par- ade at the wedding will wear khaki battle dress in keeping with the austerity which is expected to mark the occasion. T h e famous Guard regiments which will turn out for the royal wedding, have not worn their bright- ly coloured dress uniforms since the beginning of the war. The word "obey" will not be omitted from Princess Elizabeth's marriage vows. Although an alternative marriage service used in some Church of England ceremonies omits the word the form of service used at the royal wedding will be that specified in the book of common prayer, Bucking- ham Palace announces, Under this form the bride pro- mises to 'love, cherish, and obey." * * * Lieutenant Mountbatten has left the Greek Orthodox Church and been formally received into the Church of England in preparation for his forthcoming marriage to Princess Elizabeth. The proceedings were conducted privately by the Archbishop of Canterbury in the chapel of Lam- beth Palace, London, * * * Princess Elizabeth who does not pretend to be a faslsion plate butt to whose wardrobe and trouseau British girls look as a guide in any style controvers, has structs a blow to the three -quarter -length skirt, She has not lowered her hems even ann-eighth of an inch to con- , form with the Paris and New York fashion dictators, Tine two single items of her trousseau are tine wedding dress and a going -away outfit.

These are new reporters to this column and we welcome them into our family circle, Along with these two, is our regu- lar contributor, Audrey Harris. Owing to the fact that Ute correspondents have sent in quite a lot of news this week, we will turn this column over to them, TEEN- O T N EPORT W R R E S Milverton—Eva Loney — Our club, Keen -Teens, was organized last spring under the leadership of two women citizens who were interested in such work. We oper- ated a booth at the Orange elebra- tion held here in July (12tht) and raised a substanial amount for our club. Several of our members at- tended the C,N.E. and were im- pressed by "Teen -Town." We hold our meetings on the 'second and fourth Friday of each month. We gave our club the name of Kcen-- Teens and have drawn up a con- stitution, a copy of which I will forward to you. Plattsville — F. Edith Hall—Hi everybody. We hast a terrific Hi Time at the Inter Scholastic field meet held at New Hamburg on Fri. Oct. 3rd, with these fine schools sompeting: New Dundee, Tavistock, New Hamburg, Platte- ville and Wellesley. New Ilashburg put up the stiffest competition and won the "battle", taldng top honours. Plattsville Continuation School, as a whole, took second place. 0000- oo, those handsonse athletes! The Jr. Boys' championship was won by Alvin Forber of New Ham- burg with 20 points. The Senior championship was achieved by Wil- son Nutall of Tavistock who scor- ed 18 points. But those bca-utiful athletes (sorry you missed it!) The Jr. Girls' championship was taken by Margaret Mathie of Ncw Ham- burg with 23 points. Grace Slack, also of that town, captured the Sr. Girls' championship accounting for 11 points. The New Hanmburg girls acted as hostesses during the supper hour at the Library Hall. In the evening the Hi Crowd stet again at a social held there and danced to records, to complete the day's activities. Bye for now,— Edith. Parry Sound — Audrey Harris— A couple of weeks ago we lseld a Hay Secd dance. All tine guys and gals turned out in dungarees and plaid shirts and had ane big, swell gone. The novelty went like this. The first dance was really a filler. The four couples on tlse spots ]sad a delicious chore to do to win a prize, The better -half fed pie to her partner and the first couple to finish, Verginia Burdgette and Bert Federico, had to eat a whole pie to decide the final winner. Bert finished 'first winning as a Prize a delicious 'knelt in your mouth" apple pie. The masterpice was created by Mrs. Woklnik, The elimination dance was next with such disqualifications as: any- one wearing Chen Yu lipstick, any- one who likes school, anyone who passed history exams this year -- narrowing the couples down to Lois Harris, our President and Gard Whaler, a committee nsan. A dance, causing lots of laughs and leaving most of the contestants sprawled on the floor, was the Corn Cob number. It went like this, Four corn cobs were passed among the couples asd the four lucky couples ending the dance with the corn were put to work. The girls were placed at one end of the ]tall, the ther en had a The boys at o d red of whi h w•as short stick, one e c on the floor and the other end on the forehead of the boyin question. He then turned round twenty tithes and walked if possible to his part- ner at the other end of the hall who repeated the procedure, and the first girl returning to her partner was the happy winner. The winners re- ceived a top, just as a dizzy re- minder; they were Marie Manaffy and Dotig Holmes, "Mr, and Miss Hayseed" were chosen by Mr. and Mrs. Swart - man, our host and hostess. The "Miss" title was won by Elsie Alves, our little refreshment girl, while Maurice Harrison walked off with the ' iMr." title. Then the big event—the door prize.Dotn Downs held the winn- ing membership card and Ise won a beautiful Plynnonth Rock hen, alive of course. There's nothing dead about us. Well, that's it for this week, so Bye, In Closing We like this. All we have to do is open and close the colunnt. How nice it would be if that could be done every week; but brother, it ain't as easy as all that. A letter this tech states that the kids in a certain town couldn't find this column in their paper and would like to read it, (thanks) If this column is not appearing in your local newspaper, and if you want it, ask your editor about it, and we'll take it up frons there—be- cause we will be around to see bin in the near future. Started Something At last it has happened. A man called on the Board of Trade in London last week, revealed the fact that he wasn t wearing a shirt and begged piteously for souse extra clothing coupons, As Ise didn't qualify, Ise was re- fused. Whereupon he said: "ln tlsat case I night as well go into a nudist colony; in fact I'll start one of my own, there and now." And he tore off his jacket, He was starting to rensove Isis trousers when the ensbarrassed of icials lnsrricdly capittslated and pressed eighteen coupons into his hand, enough to buy tlsree shirts, Glows in Dark A new table lamp, whose sup- porting stand glows in the dark, is easy to find even in an unlight- ed roost, The upright column of the stand is made of 14 oyster - like plastic slsells, one above tine other, each treated with n phos- phorescent pigment that causes the glow. TABLE TALKS Honey Cookies To store honey, a dry place is best since if kept in a dans. place it may absorb moisture, It should 5501 be . kept in the refrigerator. Honey which has solidified or granulated may be liquified by placing .the container in a bowl o£ warm water, no . waruter than; the hand can bear, itntid -crystals' are= melted.•'I oo much heat will impair ,the fine: flavor of the honey. The insists economists of the Con- sumer •$Cction, Dominion Depart- ment ej: Agriculture have several suggestipns to nsaks on using honey in cooking. To substitute harry for sugar in staking cakes, use 1 cup honey for each cup of sugar called for in recipe and reduce the liquid in recipe by one-quarter. Cakes' and cookies made with honey retain their freshness well but will not stay crisp. Honey Cookies cup shortening cup honey • cup brown sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla i egg 2 Ya cups pastry flour OR 2 % cups all-purpose flour • teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon baking powder teaspoon salt cup chopped walnptr. Cream shortening well witls ho- ney and sugar, Add vanilla and egg, beating well. Add sifted dry in- gredients with nuts. Chill. Tlten roll into small balls, Place about_ 2 inches apart on greased baking sheet asnd flatten with a €orlc, Bake in a moderately hot oven, 871 de- grees F., for 10 to 12 minutes. Makes about a dozen, 2 -inch cookies. Honey butter sauce is delicious on hot or cold puddings, Six serv- ings. Hone Butter Sauce Y 2 tablespoons butter 2 tablespoons brown sugar 1 cup liquid honey 2 egg whites Cream butter and brown sugar. Add honey and egg whites, Beat well. Makes 1 % cups sauce. New Insulin Cuts Number of Doses Plain insulin lowers the sugar content of the blood for only six hours, so that in a severe case of diabetes hypodermic injections must be taken. at intervals of four to six hourss. Drs. Richard G. Roberts, Doris M. Hiker and Adrian Gasior Russisl of the Chi- cago Medical School now conte along with a new insulin com- pound which has lowered the blood -sugar level in rabbits for twenty-four hours with a single injection, says the New York Times, The twenty -four-hour insulin is prepared with hemin, part of the hemoglobin wlticlt gives blood its red color and which carries most of the oxygen needed by the body. Besides hemin the new compound also contains liquid ammonia and choline, a chemical which enables tine body to burn up fat. Now the doctors are working on a similar compound which will re- main effective forty-eight hours. Spring Growth The growth of children is not regular throughout the year. Spring growth in lseight is, on the average, almost twice that of tine fall. The spring gain in height is made without weight gain, how- ever, while in the fall, when there is but little increase in stature, children fatten more.
