The Brussels Post, 1948-4-14, Page 3CHRONICLES OF GINGER FARMS By Gwendoline P, Clarice '4Ve are all rt ads for the Faster parade, Partner has bad a long de - ;eyed haircut; liob is home from the hospital with a nice new pair of crutches and a liberally autographed cast on his leg and foot and 1 have a new'old rout. And where shall we go, and on what boardwalk shall we parade? Well, we don't want to Hake t•omprtiliutt loo keen so I rather fancy we shall not be very far from honk. But I want to tell you a little more about that eclat. l ant but sure of its age but 1 know it isn't less than fifteen years old. My motlser•in• law sent it to me from England. I wore it for several years but it showed absolutely no sign of wear- ing out - not even the lining,. 1t be- came frightfully out of date so I started using it for rough wear. Presently sestina buttons were miss- ing; the lining of one sleeve was rip- ped loose; the inside of one pocket was stiff beconse of an accident with an egg,bmt the clout was as good as ever. When 1101 in use it hung in a cupboard reserved for clothes fit only for barn chores, The only thing that saved it from destruction was the condition of the sloth and the fact that it was too out of date, and too shabby, for tory of the clothing drives. This spring, during one of my housecleaning spells, the old coat came to light again. 1 tried it on . . it was just the right length. ft was doulle•brcasted and too tight, but changing it to a single-breasted style soon remedied that. The. sleeve lining, i soca found, was really un- damaged except for the tearing apart at the stitching; the rest of the lin- ing and the cloth itself was almost as good as new, and there was air whitely no sign of moth, "New n where", I said to myself, "could one Navy blue crepe in a lovely suit dress from Lawrence Sperber. The skirt has unpressed pleats all round and the fitted jacket' has a crisp white collar. get a piece of (loth like that to- day ? o"day? 'l his is odiously a job for the cleaners," So that 15 whit hap- pened. The other day I wore the coat for the first time, Partner raised his eyebrows - "I like that coat (411 )011," he, said, „where and when dict you Ley it?" So you see • keep a thing long ((1 ottgh and old fashions become new fashions. Nut that I recommend keeping stuff around like that as a ode there is loo much 11e011 of it abroad. I1ad I taken the time to look this coat over more carefully during the war it would probably be walking amnia in England by now — or maybe Russia, 'Thank goodness it is not in Russia anyway. * * * My,. but it's a dull, dull clay. Rain has evidently been falling steadily all night - and it is still raining. But Partner is feeling quite pleased with himself. Yesterday morning al- though 1t Was warm and sunny Part- ner said - 'There's something colts- ing, I'm sure • `!'IFFY has hero under my feet all morning. I think 1 had better get tip on the roof and see what .l can do about it." Tippy, I should explain, is our weather prophet. She is more scared of wind and thunderstorms than any dog I ever knew, so we always know by her actions when a storm is brewing. Partner didn't wait for the weather to break - he got a can of tar and went after the holes It the kitchen roof. Before 1e was through there was a slight sprinkling - prelude to a real down- pour - but not a drop of rain did we get in the kitchen. It is surpris- ing what a little patching at the right time can do. * * * One day last week I imagine most farmers were feeling somewhat jit- tery. The weatherman had promised that the temperature would drop to ten degrees above zero, That was like sounding the death -knell for winter wheat and clover. And the wheat looked so promising. And then our fears were groundless. There was hardly enough frost to harden the top of the ground. We didn't mind the weatherman being wrong at all. Food for Britain From Argentina Under the "Andes Agreement" signed recently at Buenos Aires, Argentina has undertaken to supply the United. Kingdom during the present year with 420,000 tons of seat, 1,350,000 tons of coarse grain, and 140,000 tons of fats and oils, much of which will be oil seed and oil cake for feeding cattle. This is undoubtedly one of the most import- ant food agreements concluded by Britain for some time. Purchases will be made through th. Ministry of Food and Argentina will sell her products through the Argentine Institute for Promotion of Trade. Britain will supply (hring 19.48 certain goods, such as petroleum p oducts, steel and machinery, spe- cially requested by Argentina, and these will be bought and sold through the .usual commercial channels. And So On "Sedentary work," said the col- lege professor, "tends to lessen the endurance." "In other words", the student but- ted in, "the more one sits the less one can stand." "Exactly", retorted the professor, "and if one lies a great deal one's standing is lost completely." --T I U. S. Army Unit answer to Preston* smash.

TABL TALKS The Popular Potato No matter how simply it is pre- pared you can never get tired of a good potato—that is, of course, if itis carefully cooked and served. Baked Potatoes are versatile. Bake them with their skins on and prick then as soon as they are removed from the heat; if you let the steam escape, you prevent the from be- coming soggy. Serve them plain, or with butter, or stuff them with left- over meats or vegetables, season to your taste with herbs and spices ga' re. Steamed Or steam them; the rule is "in their jackets." Serve unpeeled if po- tatoes are young and the skins bright, or peel and doll in melted butter (bacon drippings will do the sante trick), sprinkle with chopped parsley or dill or chives, or bright- en the color and taste with paprika or any herb, such as marjoram, for instance. You Can deep-fry raw potatoes, either cut into pieces or sliced titin — or you can pan-fry them in plenty of bacon drippings. Boiled in Jackets Boiling potatoes in their skins not only prevents wastage in peel- ing but conserves the goodness too, Scrub well, prick over with a fork• so salt can pentrate, barely cover with ]tot water in which you put one rounded tea -spoon of salt to each 2 lbs. vegetables. Boil steadi- ly, not vigorously, until just tender. (Test with thin metal skewer) Drain dry. Serve as soon as pos- sible after cooking. - When potatoes are peeled before cooking use a potato peeler so that as little as possible is wasted, Do not let them soak in water a long time before cooking. How to Whiten Potatoes At this time of year certain varie- ties of potatoes may turn dark in color during cooking. This darken- ing may be remedied if a little 1emo. juice is squeezed over tate drained vegetable in a proportion of a teaspoonful to each pound of potatoes and the pan gently shaken over the heat. A little vinegar may serve (.such the same purpose thoush it is not quite as effective as lepton juice. Boiled To A Mash Even with careful Booking, to- wards the end of the season pota- toes are inclined to get mashy. This ' a trial, but there is a remedy at hand, though you may need s same to help you. Lay a clean tea -clout over a basin and tip the potatoes with all their liquid into it. Holding the two ends of the cloth, draw the long sides together and fold over and over till the potatoes are enclosed. Then twist the cloth ill opposite directions till all water runs out. The potatoes will be in a light floury ball and clear liquid will be left in the bowl. How to Care for Good Paint Brush It isn't good economy to choose an inferior paint brush, any more than it is good economy to buy inferior paint. A good brush holds more paint, lasts nitwit longer, is less likely to leak or spatter, leaves a clean edge and gives a more uni- form finish — and besides, the bristles don't fall out. It is just as important to knots how to take care of a good brush when you have it, as it is to get a good brush in the first place. Be- tween painting sessions, it should be suspended in linseed oil—with care taken to snake sure that the bristles are not bent by touching the bottom of the container. If the brush is not to be used for a considerable time, it is well to wash it out with a solvent such as turpentine until it is fairly clean. Then give it a good washing with a nsild soap solution and warns (not hot) water. Shake out excess water and wrap the bristles in paper so as to retain the original shape of the painting end of the leru.-h. An Alibi? .A Negro was pleading his own case to save the price of a lawyer.

When- ever Isis pop finishes a particular job, he disappears Inc four or five days. Eventually he conies home unshaven, unkempt and usually sick. Ile lays around the house for days on end and then he goes on an- odise job and the story is repeated again. .As I mentioned earlier, Joe is an ordinary guy with an ordinary job. He'll probably always he an ordinary guy with an ordin- ary job and like many of his fellow men, he fell in love. He wanted to get .tarried t, id that was quite a struggle on the stoney he was making. First off. the girl he was to teats up with decided she want- ed a baby -grand piano. Well you can see what a help that was to Joe. Tine worst of it was, she couldn't play the piano. * * * Well sir, Joe talked his mother 10,0 letting him have two rooms in the upstairs of her house. Now, Joe has been working for about 10 y'1('s. When Ise first started work- ing, he bought a house fur his room. He knew she would never have a home of her own unless he did. I -le took a mortgage on the place and is still paying for it. His mother said he could have the two rooms upstairs at the back of the house for a nifty little piece of rent. You can see where Joe is taking a beat- ing on a deal like that — paying a big rent for two- rooms in it hone he is buying. 4 * * 1V -ell that is the way it goes.

Why not? There's always the chance a fellow may get a break. There is a guy who really deserves one.
