The Brussels Post, 1948-2-18, Page 3TEEN -TOWN TOPICS By BARRY THE WINNER From the letters received in our recent contest ''Name Your Favour- ite Band And Why You Like ft", the one sent fn by Bill Goodrich of Cardinal, Ont, Was selected as best. Bill sounds as if be really bends the old car when his favour- ite band is on the air, and scents to under- stand what it is all about. Bi11 writes: It ' my opinion that the "King of Swing" Tommy Dor- sey has the best band. I like T.D, for many reasons but tate first and foremost is because every man in his hand is given a fair chance. I mean he does not bog the solos. Tommy also gives his vocalists smooth background with his soft brass section (on el 'w pieces) and v. '1 blended saxophone section. Fin- ally his fast pieces are extremely instrumental. — Your friend, Bill Goodrich. A young fellow we know from Whitby, Ont., also entered the con- test. He is about 10 years old. His name is Murray Wade and here is what Murray had to say: I like Sammy Kaye's band because (1) I listen to Sammy every Monday 'tight (2) he stems to have lots of swing in his hand, (3) Saminy sounds like a very swell guy to get along with, —Murray Wade, We seldom receive letters from fellows as young as Murray, but we are very pleased to receive them. Thanks to all who entered the con- test. We hope that you will all enter again next month and many more as well.

Our Apologies To Colborne For some time now we have been spelling Colborne as Colbourne and the gang down there have taken us to task for it, We offer apologies to the Keen klub and hope that 1311 Tye and several others will quit kidding our Colborne correspondent Bev. Wilson about it. Glad to hear that some of you came to Bcv. Wil- son's aid in securing new material for her dances and Club meetings. Bev. asks me to thank all who answered her request for help, The Keen Klub of Colborne is holding a dance in February to raise funds to purchase a new record player. That Klub is quite interested in finding nut who a person by the name of 'Square -toed Muginty" is, Seems that they received a letter from this character who suggested they raise their admission from 10c to tic and that they hire a rambling corn -boy orchestra and have some square dances. No one can figure out who the eon -de -plume belongs to, and it really has them guessing. This Is Valentine Week This Saturilay being St. Valen- tine's day we are reminding all you guys out there to get your shopping done early, If most of you are as forgetful as we arc, you'll need a little reminder about now. P.S. We were going to write a Valentine poem, but after the insulting re- marks following our Christmas effort, we'll be hanged if we will. Make up your own lousy poems. What's Wrong Out There From the little bit of correspon- dence coming in here it would seem as though our correspondents arc still getting over Christmas—or else things are generally quiet around the Province. Don't forget to send in all the news of your Club activities to this column, that others may keep up-to-date on what you are doing. How about letting is have your new slate of Officers for the year 1948.

The Feb- ruary Contest closes on the Twcnty- Ninttt of this month, and the win- ning letter will he announced and p.:blished two weeks after. Owing to the fact that we are suffering from a heavy siege of the flu we are going to stop right here. Leave It Casual Ned Shuter, the village handy- man, was painting Martha Sliver's barn, tylien the kindly woman came out anti, observing a rent in Ned's coat, exclaimed, "You don't loop so neat Ned, since your daughter went away. Would you like to have me mend that tear in your coat?" Thankee just the same, Miz Slivers," the philosophical Ned replied, "but I guess I'll just leave it like it is. You see, Miz Stivers, a tear in a garment may be only the accident of a day—but a patch is, just plain, premeditated poverty." _ iU. S. Army Leader la ■ HORIZONTAL Command 1 Pictured U.

Clarke Sometimes I think that just as Sunday was appointed as a day of rest— which 4 frequently isn't — so Monday was surely designated as washday for women because so often Monday is the only day in the week when washing c: be done with any satisfaction—that is if one wants to hang it out and have it at least half dry. I never gave the platter much thought until last year and then I began to take notice—and act ac- cordingly. And so it happened that when a friend phoned me quite early last Monday and said—"Are you go- ing to wash today?"— I naturally answered—"I expect to." But then I added—"Bert why—what had you in mind?" "Well, I thought I would come down for the day, but if you're wash- ing maybe I hadn't better." "Why not ... come anyway .. I'll be through by ten -thirty." * * * So my friend came to visit — arriving at 8.451—sat with are as I worked, helped when she could, and exclaimed at my good fortune when she noticed that Partner took over the job of hanging out,the clothes. Personally, I think that a splendid idea. Gentlemen. please note: The easiest way to catch cold—or worse —is to hang oat -clothes after get- ting overheated at the washing ma- chine or tub. The chances are you will only have one wife so why not try to keep her as long as you can? After dinner my friend and I were sitting in the Living -room discussing what I had in mind for redecorat- ing. "It's too bad you are not ready —NV could have stripped the paper off today," said my visitor regret- fully. I looked at her, sensing the fact that being an active woman she . was already getting tired of doing nothing. So I answered—"Butt I am ready—we can go at it right now, if you like!" And we did. By five -thirty the walls were bare. So, that my dear friends, is the way I entertain visitors. Was my friend bored? Well, she phoned next day and told me when I was ready to paint she would love to come down and help. As I have said, or inferred, in this column upon other occasions — I think people enjoy a visit far better if they are not treated as "company" * * And what of the room? Welt, the weatherman put an end to my enthusiasm. All my efforts for the rest of the week were spent in keeping, or trying to keep, the house reasonably warns. But in that I did not succeed, at least not as long as the wind was blowing. When it dropped, we were snug as could be even at sixteen below. Or was it that on one of triose cold days I had a letter that warm- ed me right to the cockles of my heart? This was a letter from a friend In England who wrote— "I ANI CObIINGI" just like that —in big capitals. Tentative plans are that she will arrive by air for an extended visit at the end of her present school year. I suppose there will be the usual red tape to go through—We must guarantee to be responsible for her keep while she is here as five pounds is as much as any- one is allowed to bring with then' front England, but she hopes to s1 '$CRATCIHaII4G Relieve Itch in a Jiffy� 7,1tdt ve ltd na ,ku to ecaema, pimple atklatak fact 1 ml or 0. ,a otlls Us. motion rg rated o. n. n.

Ik D Prawrtp je rk Yme druggist fa be able to do something to pay her way. As to that, I have been given to understand that no per- son visiting in Canada is allowed to take a salaried job—just as a protection to Canadian citizens— but I suppose there would be no objection to anyone picking fruit, or filling in wherever there is a temporary shortage of help. In any case I ant not worried, * * * Another letter we got this week was from a friend — in Canada — recently left a widow, and to our distress site wrote—"I ant having such a time because there are five years' income tax returns to make out!" Will people never learn? Just imagine that poor little woman, who has never been re- quired to help with financial mat- ters, to suddenly find herself faced with such a gigantic task. I sup- pose her late husband was one of the many who, if the Government did not bother hint, thought it was all right to let well alone. But a day of reckoning always comes— and it isn't the government who loses out. Surely the least any man can do for his wife is to so arrange his business affairs that she will not be unduly embarrassed if, and when, she is left with the full burd- en of responsibility. . • . TABLE TALKS An Easy Answer To "More Cookies" Tun will be prepared for the un- expected guest if you make a prac- tice of keeping a roil c.f cookie dough in the refrigerator. When guests "drop in,'' or one of the youngsters asks for a treat, cut some thin slices front the roll ana pop them into a very hot oven. They take only 10 minutes to bake. Here is a basic refrigerator cookie recipe, which makes about 100 cookies, and some variations: Refrigerator Cookies 11.0 cup butter t/a cup other shortening 2 cups sugar 3 eggs 335 cups pastry flour 2 is baking powder m8 is salt Crean butter, shortening, and sugar. Beat eggs and add. Sift flour, baking powder and salt to- gether. '1Vork, gradually into mix- ture. Form into rolls. Wrap in waxed paper and chill in refriger- ator. When cold, slice thin. Bake 10 minutes in hot, 400 degree F. oven. To make- the variations, divide the dough after mixing it into three portions and put each in a bowl. After a variation is trade, form into rolls, wrap in wax paper and put in the refrigerator. Marmalade Flavor with 1 teaspoon vanilla. Form into rolls, wrap in waxed paper and chill in refrigerator, When ready to use, cut •very thin slices. Put 1 teaspoon orange marmalade on one slice and top with another. Press edges together and bake. Chocolate Nut Melt 1 square chocolate and add to dough. Mix well. Add % tea- spoon vanilla. Work in '5 cup chopped walnuts, Spice Add 1 teaspoon allspice and 1 teaspoon cinnamon to basic dough. Sugar Cheapest Of Energy Foods While costs of most commodities continue to rise, refined sugir re- mains the cheapest of all staple foodstuffs available to Canadian consumers. A survey just complet- ed at Chatham, Ont,, shows the cost of sugar to the householder to be five cents per 1,000 calories -mss frill 50 percent below the cost of bread which places second on the list of low-priced energy foods. Third from the standpoint of econ- omy are potatoes at nine and a half cents per 1,000 calories. Winter cabbage costs the con- sumer no less than $1.18 per 1,000 calories, Costs of other staple food products per 1,000 calories follow: Rib roast beef 7955 cents, back bacon 32 cents, cheese 25 cents, butter 21 cents, milk 20 cents, rice 11 cents and white beans 10 cents. Chopped walnut, n.e:y be worked in, Pinwheels Flavor Witt, teaspoon vanilla. Divide the ducigh in half. Color one part with a few drops red coloring, or with melted square of chocolate. Roll out both portions of dough separately on waxed paper. Lay the colored portion on top of the other, and then roll the two together from one long edge, until both sections form one long roll. When sliced, each cookie will have a spiral of color. Black and White Divide dough in two, one por- tion larger than the other. Flavor larger Rortion with 34 teaspoon almond flavoring, and set aside. Melt 1 square chocolate and add to smaller portion, Flavor with teaspoon vanilla. Form into long roll on waxed paper. Take second portion and roll out on waxed paper to width of about three incites and length of 10 inches. Place chocolate roll on this por- tion, and wrap ahnond-flavored dough around chocolate core. When sliced, and batted, there will be a chocolate center hounded by a wide cream border. Orange Mix 2 tablespoons strained orange juice with dough. Grate skin of orange, and work in. Lemon Mix 2 tablespoons strained lepton juice with dough. Add grated skin of lemon. — c A Change The bear was paying a call no some of his parishioners whom he had not seen for some weeks, :_nd his Mel visit was to one of the oldest ra•sidcnts of the village. After the preliminaries were over, he sat back to have a chat with the old man. "1 understand you have a son in Hollywood. Do yon see him often?" he asked. "Ah, he's been home every sum- mer for five years." "And does he bring his wife with him?" "Ile does, sir.
