The Brussels Post, 1952-3-19, Page 2Help The !SALAII ��A Red Cross Pruning Fruit Trees Pruning and dormant spraying of fruit trees should be completed within the next month or so. They are inescapable for every fruit tree, While pruning is being done, suck- er growth should be cut out. These tall, thin stems that shoot straight up from the branches into ttie cen- ter of a tree should be cut off clean. They are most likely to ap- pear on plum, cherry and old apple trees. Suckers or water sprouts never bear fruit. This is a good time to feed any fruit tree that has been planted a year or longer, A complete bal- anced fertilizer may be scattered on the ground under the tree at the rate of one pound for every year of growth up to fifteen. Young trees should` be protected with cylinders of wire mesh or guards before spring brings hungry rab- bits to nibble at the bark. Wonderful Idea! tp f,44,44W1,42,4. Wrap and tie! Easy as pie!

Paper towels .are indispensable tit wiping up grease and food spatters Prudent cooking habits will.save you both time and effort. A daily stove map -up with 'a soapy cloth or sponge can be a part of your dishwashing routine. This tidy method will quickly remove all the troublesome grease and spots. Clean stoves have less operating cost for fuel and, if kept in an unblemished state, they will last longer. In theory this is wonderful, but there are always unavoidable cleaning chores resulting from the minor tragedies of spilled foods and burned -on oven grease. Baking amt roasting for wet -l: end meals generally utilize the kit- chen range's full capacity. Monday morning shank! be a good time for a weekly overhaul. Start £rant the top of the stove and work down. Cleanse offthe enatncjrd surfaces with soapy water: Drip cups, gratings and gas burners should be dunked into rich, hot soapsuds. All these pieces should be soaked briefly and then scrubbed with a stiff brush. Electric burners should be clean- ed with a stiff fiber brush. Lift the unit from the range and wipe the rims into which the burner fits. The drip pan is the catch-all for food particles. Remove it from the range and clean it thoroughly with a sink brush dipped into hot soap- suds. Dry anti' slip pan back into position. Low 4souperature roasting less- ens shrinkage of your meat and cuts down hit your fuel cost. It also causes less grease spattering. If your oven accumulates burned -on fat, rub down the walls and bot- tom with a soapy solution of house- hold ammonia. A neglected oven may require an overnight treat- ment. Place a saucer of soapy water and ammonia inside the oven. The next morning the fumes will have softened the grease and the interior can be cleaned with soap and stiff brush. After removing the meat front your broiling pan allow it to soak in soapy water. Then you can wash the broiler anti grill as part of your dinner dishwashing, using a 'scour- ing agent on the rough places. Deep well cookers can be treated the same as an aluminum kettle. Hot water soapsuds will lure away the drippins that cling to the walls. Insulated lids cannot be immersed in soapsuds. Merely wipe them clean, For a final over-all fa'tisl, cleanse ail the stove's fixings -clock, dial, knobs and handles -and your kit- chen range is again immaculate.

That is to say which sense makes a better jab of carrying sympathetic impulses to the brain? Or is there a dif- ference in different people? What makes me wonder is this:. All last week I had been hearing harrowing details by radio of the outbreak of foot and mouth di- sease, Of course it worried me to think of the dire consequences to the unfortunate farmers in the af- fected area. But it wasn't until I saw pictures in the papers that the it affected the cattle, really hit full rea'ization of the tragedy, as me. There was the huge pit; the poor diseased cattle standing there, unknowingly waiting for the slaughter. That . really got me down. And yet, since they hall to be killed, ho* better cou'd it be done? Being herded together would not frighten the poor beasts because range cattle are used to being run into corrals and herded together in just that way. It was just the expression in their limpid trusting eyes that got me down. Foot and mouth disease is a major disaster for Canada -and it will be a little while yet before we know to what extent it wi'l affect national economy. The other night Daughter phoned and she was in quite a way about it, partly because it is in the area where we lived when we Were out on the prairie. One thing we do know, the people out West will take this disaster in their stride as they have taken others - drought, floods, grasshoppers and early fr-,st. Rxccpt for all this bad news it has been a wonderful week -more continuous sunshine than we have had all winter. Which he'ped me a lot because I was experiencing a few troubles of my own. A cold for one thing, and then I left the lights on in the car and ran the battery down so completely the car wouldn't start at all -just when I sort -111'1y ranted it, of course, Answering fan mail has also kept me pretty busy. Not in con- nection tvitlt thisFolttntn but as a result of a recent article in the Family herald and Weekly Star, Yesterday, to get away from it all. Bob took us over to see the Ford plant near Oakville: That served two purposes -it gave us a hit of an outing awl recharged the car battery. When we got house Partner and I were both so happy in the realiz- ation that our farm is in a quieter part of the country, Thank heaven industrial expansion bas not yet caught up with us. But since we live on a Queen's Highway there 14 no telling how soon that day will co se. 18 was strange looking around the Oakville district. Residential Oakville has always been so very exclusive, so that now it seems to be entirely out of character. No doubt some of the older residents are pretty sick about it. There was not snitch to see at the 'Ford plant -except large areas of good, arable farm land laid waste where huge shovels and bulldozers had been in operation.. Activities have been temporarily suspended. We passed the McKendrick farm where the shell of the old alfalfa processing .plant stood like a gitost of the past --but a comparatively recent past. I"tir a year or two this plant gathered up surplus alfalfa from the farmers for miles around, and then dried and ground the alfalfa ilito meal which was then shipped for export. 1t was a new "To be quite honest, you're a fool for even wanting to know ill" venture and showed great promise but falling export prices and win- ter killing of alfalfa changed the picture. We wondered if at any time this industry would be re- vived. We also passed the King Paving Plant where all kinds of heavy road equipment stood ready and begin again their work of . im- provement or destruction, depend- ing on how you look at it. ' We passed a farm where a new combine was sitting out in the field -no doubt it had been there all winter. Few farms have facili- ties for housing oversized equip- ment. We noticed a small house, crying out for a coat of paint- with aintwith a t4evision aerial that practi- cally covered the roof. • We came back to Ginger Farm -and here, too, we saw things. that needed fixing -unfinished improve- ments left over from last fall; painting to be done; wood to be gathered -but thank goodness, it is still our home in the country.

Eagerly Miss Watsonboughtan illuminated script of her fannily tree and ordered oil paintings on wood of the,coate of arms of tate Watsons, Like 80,000 other over seas visitors last year, she was a satisfied customer of Britain's queerest export trade, the traffic in ancestors. At the oifiices of the Society "of Genealogists, in Bloomsbury, anyone can thumb through a card index of 3,000,000 families for little more than the price of a Cana- dian movie ticket. For a fee of two guineas a day skilled experts are available, adept in reading crabbed handwriting and archaic script, ready to .probe the roots of a family through 11,000 parish registers and over 30,000 volumes of history. osto A Bn business man was hav- ing snob trouble with neighbours who boastedkinship with George 'Washington. A member of the Soc- iety of Genealogists solved his prob- lem by proving his own descent from a much more ancient ancestor, a boy who sailed with the Pilgrim Fathers on the Mayflower. The Boston client was so delighted that he doubled his fees, In Tennessee a librarian named Wallace Jones discovered that Lady Godiva was his great (29 times) grandmother. Ile was so proud that he spent over $5,000 to travel to Coventry and pay hotnage at her statue. Then John Shakespeare Hart, of Illinois, went to England to trace his link with William Shakespeare. Within ten 'days, so efficient are ,the ancestor hounds, he 'found himself shaking hands with his distant cousin, Harold Hart, a West Wycombe engineer whose great (9 times) grandmother was the playright's sister. Nor was this alt, He even learn- ed that he could claim family ties with the Queen, who is descended from Shakespeare's great -great - great -grandmother) No wonder there's a brisk mail order business in family trees and a certainty that ancestorseoffcr value for money. Only one Englishlnao in 10,000 knows his pedigree: One American in 120, however, cherishes a family tree. And, by the way, do you know that some of your ancestors are now baptized Mormons? The Mor- mons spend enormous sums in the ancestor trade, for their Church in- sists that alt Mormon ancestors should be baptized by proxy. Hard at work in Edinburgh at present, a Utah searcher is. methodically combing through 3,500 Scottish parish registers, In Ealt Lake City, standing -in as a proxy, one man has already undergone 3,000 baptisms and the queue at the font now ex- tends back 600 years: SLEEP TO-NITE SEDICIN tablets token "according M directions Is a safe way to induce steep or quiet the nerves when tense. 91.00 Dru • Stormont I ar5edlclt Terooto2 VERSATILE A famous actor, rentinisein about his early days in show bus .
