HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Brussels Post, 1948-1-14, Page 7Fancy Stunts They Couldn't Do If They Tried Without even trying, a few un- sung individuals performed fancy feats last year that might have stun1ped many a stunt man, In a roundup of freak accidents, these headlines for 1947 are listed: Mrs. Anne l'eGinnis fell from a fourth -floor fire escape, struck a clothesline at the third -floor level, was flipped through a window and landed in the second floor bath- room of a startled neighbor. Charles Arter, pitboy in a South Yorkshire, England, mine, fell down a 1,554•foot shaft and suf- fered only a broken leg. Halfway down, he overtook an elevator cage descending almost as fast as be was. He landed on its roof, and rode the rest of the way down. In 1411e, France, Yvon Dherire, a tile setter, fell six stories from a room toward a baby buggy be- low. The mother f r an t i c a l l ,y snatched the infant to safety, Dherire hit the buggy squarely and was unhurt. As the baby gur- gled its appreciation, the mother fainted and broke an ankle. After her automobile turned ov- er five times, Mrs. Lee Marksbury crawled uninjured from the wrechage in Centralia, Mo. She took a look at the debris, fainted and suffered a cut over her eye. Leroy Thurman struggled try- ing rying to open a case of compressed bedsprings in Oklahoma City, The case flew open, the springs cata- pulting him against the ceiling. He was placed in a bed with springs --in a hospital. As fireman Horace Lebouf was carrying Catherine Markowski down a ladder of a burning build- ing in Detroit, flames shot out of a first -floor window. .He lost his balance, dropped Mrs. AM'ark - owslci and landed on top of her. She was bruised he was unhurt but apologetic. Stanley Morrison ran into his father unexpectedly one d a y. When Stanley's truck nosed into the side of a passenger train at a crossing the engineer stopped the train and hurried back to see the damage. He was Stanley's dad. When a car was stolen in Holly- wood, the owner borrowed a neighbor's car and started for the police station to report the loss. Another car smacked his borrow- ed car frau behind as he was re- turning home. He got out to ex- amine the damage, recognized the car which hit him as his own, and held the driver for the police. The season caste and departed without fishermen ICatsumi Nishi- tawa and Woodrow Wakatsuki re- alizing their dream of a record mackerel catch. They tried hard— but that was the trouble. They hauled in so many fish the Weight sank their boat. Radio To Instruct Outpost Children The Canadian Army radio sta- tion at Aklavik on' the Mackenzie River will begin shortly to send out educational programs for the children of the Mackenzie district, says the Christian Science Monitor. A large number of recordings concerning historical events, leg- ends, well-known books, and the Canadian Parliament are being flown to this most northerly of Canadian radio stations. Among those- to whom the new programs will be directed will be the families of Indian and Eskimo t r a op e r s and hunters who be- cause of the nomadic lives they follow, have little chance to send their children to any school. Not very ninny Indians but the ma- jority of Eskimos have receiving sets, and it is expected the In- tlkns will he getting more of them. Schoolroom radioeasts are given daily by stations at Edmonton in Alberta and Watrous, Saskatche- scan. Under favorable conditions these programs reach the lower reaches of the Mackenzie district, but not as far north as Aklavik or other northerly posts along the Mackenzie, Radio reception from the south. is not very good in the Mackenzie district, In the eastern arctic, mis- ,Unary. Ropnl Canadian i\fouulcd Police, fur trading, and other posts get European programs quite clearly, hot in the west reception oven from tie southern stations is less clear. A radio station is to be estab- 1shed shortly at Yellowltuife, near Great Slave Lake, and this, it is txpected, will overcome many of I! e tl'fficultics, The Northwest Territories Council,. which is setting up this new radio station, also is pro- viding a number of battery -pew - erect radio receivers for the schools which haven't these sets already, and records of educe- ticual programs. in the gold alining district of the Yellowknife (which got its name from the copper knives -mad by the Indians) the need of acquir- ing the amenities of fife le partici° larly 'argent, on accent of the growth of the mining settlement. Happy Christmas in a New Land—A family of nine who fled Poland and wandered. 1,200 miles by horses and wagon to escape the Russ ians are spending a happy holiday with Mr. and Mrs. John Oswald at R.R. 2, Petersburg,.five.miles southwest of Kitchener. They are Mr. and Mrs, Ferdinand Oswald (back row, left), their six children and Mrs. Marie Oswald (seat- ed), mother of the Oswald men. Mr. and Mrs. John Oswald, with whom their refugee kin are now living, are in the b ack row in front of the tree. WATCH FOR OUR BOOKLET FEATURE BEGINNING NEXT WEEK Bees Help Increase Clover Seed Yield Experiments have been under- taken at the Dominion Experiment- al Station, Prince George, B.C., to determine the value and the need for bees in the seed production of alsike clover. It was found that where honey titres were present the yield of alsike seed was twenty times as high as where no bees were present. In the fields where both native wild bees and honey bees 1 re present in large numbers the seed yield of alsike was four times as high as ', here only the honey bees were evailable for pollination. The result shows the value of honey bees in the seed production of this crop, and indicates that beekeeping could well be adopted in conjunc- tion 'with alsike seed production against the time when native pollin- ating insects may be reduced to insufficient numbers. CHRONICLES OF GINGER FARM By Gwendoline P. Clarke You !.row how we always think the test part of going away is the corrin; borne? In just that sane way don't you think the best part of Christmas and New Year's is the well -it's -all- over feeling that you get in January? So many weeks we have ridden the crest of a wave—a wave of prepar- ing, of giving and rece;ing, of go- ing and coming; of over -indulgence in Christmas fare—that to find our- ' elves once more in calm waters, as it were, is something we can realy ap- reciate—in fart we rememter vial relief that ,t is row eleven months until Christman * * * And after the Christina: tree is divested of it; trimmings and come to its inglorso is end of providing a little extra kindling woos!, and the Christmas cards are looker) over and read over again, 'and then stored away—because we don't know what else to do with then—the Christmas gifts put into regular use, if that is possible, and children returning unwillingly to school—then begirs the housewife's brief spell of Para- dise.

"Rest," I hear you say—"rest, with all there is to do in this house!".

We women, 1 think, are the worst offenders. And wily? Because we let our families be- come too dependent upon Mother do- ing this and Mother fixing that. And believe me, I have noticed that this same situation is reaching alarming proportions in the present acute housing shortage. It exists in the country as well as in urban districts. Married couples live with their par- ents, grandchildren come along, and it is still "Mother" who bears the brunt of the Load. In some cases the young married bread -winner has a job away from home. And then who is it that gets his breakfast, asd en- dures his early morning grouchiness? You know as well as I do, don't you? Mother has always looked after her children so she goes right on with the job, irrespective of wives, husbands and grandchildren. And the children, in the great major- ity of cases, unthinkingly allow her to do it. * * * Honestly, I just about see red when I notice the weariness of so many not -so -young women these days, and I know it is because they are over-worked, over tired and too good to their families. Oh, I know it is not so easy for the young folk either—but they at least have youth on their side -youth and the hope of a hone of their own at some future time. Surely it should be possible for young and old to realise some of the difficulties peculiar to each and thus come to 'a fairer family agreement regarding work and responsibility. * * * Our little Whisky is, at present, quite a distraction to serious think- ing.

The reason being: that few people would believe then. For example we went over to Susie's house the night after she had the Christmas tree up and decorated. Trying to Help, we got down under the tree to plug in the lights. In so doing, we pulled the tree over with a thundering crash! Susie came rimming to find yours truly buried under green branches with his you -know -what protruding with icicles and snow decorating it, and making a beautiful picture. Do you believe that? - We didn't think so, but its the troth! * * * Then, a few weeks ago, we tools Susie for a ride in the country. Now we happen to be one of those unfor- tunates .who were blessed with bad teeth as a child; even though mother fed us on milk and fruit juices, etc. Well, we now support an upper plate of store food -mashers. Getting back to the story, Susie and I were riding along, both of us munching away at apples. A piece of apple skin got lodged in my throat. I started to hack and choke. "I—I", I gasped, "will try and get home and get a drink". But the choking got worse and I was getting blue in the face Finally I pulled up on the edge of the road. "Hit me on the Back," I yelled at Susie, jumping out of the. door, and at the same time jamming the set of molars in nsy pocket. T coughed! Susie slapped my back! Finally the piece of apple skin gave ground and up it carne. "Whew" I grinned at Susie, forgetting to pint the teeth back Susie looked; her eyes popped out and she pointed at my month, "Where are they? What happened to them?" she cried. Sud- denly I thought of my gaping, gummy grin, and promptly slapped the arti- ficial chewers back into place. Now don't say it—that one is true, too. * * One reader asked, why do port al- ways mice Susie appear to be cross and out of sorts. She always seems to be mad at you or something, and almost always talks to you in a sar- castic manner. Well, dear reader, to tell you the truth, I only write about the messes that Susie and I get into. Actually we have a lot of fou and have many memories of good times — and a scrap book to prove it. You may remember the story about the bike hike, the flat tire and the rain. Those things happened and we have pictures here to prove it. As a matter of fact, the taxi driver who brought us home always greets us with—"well, it loolcs like a nice day for a Hike, I think it's going to oohs,"' Susie is not really as cross or Hard to get along with as I make her ap- pear to be. Why, in fact, last Christ- mas she gave me a watch, and this year she gave me a cigar. Hmnhmm, there's something wrong there some place, Oh, well, she probably was broke. Looking hack 'over last year's files we notice a number of Susie stories. The first was in March; about the Egg and I. Then in April we re- ported on the sucker fishing, The next was in June and this was written by the little lady herself. She tried to expose me, but it was all a line of gu ff. In August we did a story on our sailing experience. What a day that weal Then M September it was the bike hike. And in October we helped put tip venetian blinds. That was the last of Susie for last year. Vt'ell, as we told yon a few lines back, she's a great kid. You'll hear more of her this year too. Why, just now, she brnnglt ns a cup of tea and a toasted bacon. And another thing, dear reader, those stories were really on the level. So the next time you read a Susie story, stop wonder- ing about her. She really exists and I1ow1 She just belted me over the ear for writing this. I didn't notice her standing there reading over my shoulder. 1 hereby retract what I said, .Ain't she ignorant? b • • T A ILE TALKS • Good Eating The Scotch Way In the lowlands of Scotland the lassies once wore broad bonnets called scones, Whether these bonnets gate their name to the buns, or whether the buns inspired the bonnets was never recorded by the Scotch. Either way, scones make superlative eating, especially when ready -to -vat bran is tired to give them a nut -like taste. For a festive touch, use cranberries as a filling for these tasty triangles. Jelly Scones 14 cups sifted flour 3 teaspoons baking powder ,% teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon sugar f cup ready -to -eat bran 34 cup shortening 2' eggs lh cup light cream 34 cup cranberry sauce or your favorite jam or jelly. Sift flour with baking powder, salt and sugar; add bran, Cut in shortening. Separate one egg; beat the egg white slightly, then measure out 1 tablespoon and keep for glaze. Beat rel tining eggs' and add to first mixture with cream. Stir until dough follows fork around bowl. Roll out on lightly floured board to 54 -inch thickness; cut into 2554 inch squares. Place 1 teaspoon 'cran- berry sauce in centre of each square; fold diagonally and press points together. Moisten edges, crimp with fork. Brush with re- served egg white; sprinkle with sugar, Bake in hot oven (450 dg. F.) about 12 minutes. Yield: 12 scones. The King's Coaches Neither of the two principal car- riages used in the Royal weeding procession was origipally intended for Royal use. The Glass Coach was made in 1881 by John W. Peters, to the order of the Lord Mayor -elect of London, Sir Whitaker Ellis, It was bought by the Crown in 1911 for use at the Coronation of King George V, and since then it has been used by Royal brides. It is so called because there is rather less wood in its bodywork than in the other coaches of the Royal .Yews. It is rather less ornate than the Irish State Coach. . This coach, once the property of a Lord Mayor of Dublin, was admired and bought by Queen Victoria during a visit to Ireland in 1852. It is normally used by the King for the opening of Parliament. Tire State Coach proper, which was built in 1701, weighs four tons and is, of course, unsuitable for a trotting procession. Near the Mark The teacher was trying t0 give her small pupils a mental picture of a barrel without disclosing the name of the article. "The object l have in mind", she explained, "is large and round, being nearly as big one way as the other, and if laid on its side and started at the top of a hill, it would roll to the bottom. Now, who can tell what it is?" A little hand went up, and the teacher said, "All right, Marjorie; what do you think I was describ- ing?" "My daddy I" carte the unexpect- ed reply.
