Well, it looks as if the ground-
hog knew what he was doing last
month when he crawled back into
his hole—there is a cold, biting
Wind this morning and quite a
flurry of •snow. Like it or not we
have to take what comes, so we
may as well make the best of it. a
Now it has turned cold again I
ant glad I did what I did last week.
eOh no, it wasn't a big job of house-
cleaning or anything like that. It
was nothing more or less than a
round of gadding! In fact I believe
1 was out somewhere every day last
week—and sometimes twice, all ex-
cept Saturday. And that is some-
thing unusual for me. And while
gadding doesn't help the work
along at the time, I believe it does
help one to shake off a sort of
lethargy that comes with staying at
home too much. Anyway, here T
am again, all set for a good week's
work, so l haven't quite reached
the stage complained of by a friend
of ours who said—"Seems to me 1
can't work and run around as well,
so I guess I'11 have to quit work."
One thing I like. about gadding is
the contacts one makes. I did so
enjoy meeting d"lady the other day,
who, for ten years, has been work-
ing on an historical research pro-
ject. To my way of thinking'history
pis about the most absorbing and
fascinating study there is. I love to
dig up facts concerning the early
pioneer days in Canada, and so,
with very little encouragement I
was soon off on that track again.
The trouble is it takes up so much
time. Hunting through some old
press clippings afterwards I made
a discovery about our own farm
which I had previously overlooked.
It appears that in May, 1822, the
early settlers in this district—all of
!hent Scotsmen—arranged to meet
on the trail by Lot 2, Concession
3—which is this farm, but before it
was a farm. The purpose of the
meeting was to discuss the advisa-
bility of starting some kind of
school for the children in the dis-
trict. From that meeting plans were
made from which emerged the first
log school `house in this section
where between 60 and 70 pupils
were enrolled the first year. Many
of them had quite a distance to
walk through bush country as there
were no busses to pick them up
along the road in those days!
Another interesting evening 1
had was when I was invited as
guest to a Book -of -the -Month
Study group. I got quite a kick out
of that—just sitting back wondering
what the reaction of the group
would be towards the book under
review which I had read yeas ago
but which was unfamiliar to Ell but
two of the group. The book was
"Tone Jones"—if you have read it
you will know why 1 was amused

Easy -To -Make
Two Purpose Bag
•
t-Iere is an idea far a useful,
easy -to -make bag which may serve
two purposes. It can be a clothes-
pin bag, to hang on the line or from
a,belt at the waist when clothes are
hung or removed from the line. It
may be hung from the blanket rope -
in the automobile. Magazines, writ-
ing equipment, make-up kit, gloves,
or anything that needs tb be easily
accessible may be stored in it.
To make the bag, a wire clothes
hanger and a piece of strong cloth
such as cretonne or awning cloth
are the materials needed.
Cut the material an inch wider
than the straight bar of the hanger
and double the depth you wish the
bag to be when finished. Three
quarters of a yard doubled is quite
satisfactory.
Make a narrow hent on both long
edges. Turn an inch -wide hem in
one end of the cloth, fold the ma-
terial crosswise, letting the hemmed
end come to an inch and one-half
below the unhemmed edge. Sew the
sides of the bag together. Now, hem et-

been -a mystery. At Chicago evi-
dence was offered that all meteor-
ites are fragments of a shattered
planet that once traveled a serene
course around the stn,
The theory itself is quite obvious
and quite ancient. Astonotners
have long been aware of an empty
space in the planetary system he-
tween Mars and Jupiter. But the
idea of a shattered planet fell into
disrepute in recent years wheb the
ages of meteorites were calculated
by the same methods employed in
dating earthly rock formations—by
their radioactivity and their helium
content. 'these indicated that he -
sides being of different content—
some are stone• others nickel and
iron—the meteorites have varying
age's.
Dr. Carl A. Y:.-rr, a Harvard
astronomer, answered that one.
Some meteorites, he pointed out,
could have been prematurely aged
by the atom -smashing impact of
cosmic rays while flying around in
spare.

ancient planet that was broken up
several hundred million years ago.
It was .smaller than the Earth but
similar in construction, with a
nickel -iron core and asoy

The nickel -iron meteorites would
have come from the planet's insides,
while the stony ones represent "a
thin outer mantle that is similar to
rocks observed near the surface of
the earth."
Strong support for this idea cane
from Dr. Harrison Brown of the
bomb (he was assistant director of
University of Chicago. After com-
pleting his war work on tlie atom
the Oak Ridge chemistry division)
Brown made a study of 107 meteor-
ites that have fallen on the Earth
within the last century, He applied
delicate chemical techniques de-
veloped during the Manhattan pro-
ject and concluded that "all the
fragments came from an exploding
planet which had a molten core of
nickel -iron at about 3,00 degrees
centigrade."
The new methods of analysis used
by Brown are so accurate that they
are expected to help work out the
whole history of the solar system,
including the formation of the sun
and the earth, and the question
whether other planets can or could

Finger Painting Fun'
For Little Folks
Finger painting is something dif-
ferent for you to do. You can make
many pictures with the starch "paint"
that can't be made with water colors
and crayons.
You or your another can make the
starch paint by using le cup of
laundry starch. Mix the starch with
enough cold water to make a smooth
paste. Add 11 cups of boilingwater
and cook the paste until it's glossy
and thick. Then let, it cool.
You can do your painting on
wrapping paper, but white paper will
give you the best results because the
coloring will show up 'more bril-
liantly, 'You will find 8 -inch by 12 -
inch sheets to be best.
One precaution before you start:
Cover the table you use with old
newspaper's. Put about 5/4 cup of
starch paste on a piece of paper.
Drop some coloring onto the starch
mixture. You, can use water colors
or washable inks. Vegetable color-
ing that mother uses in her' cooking
also works as' tint for the starch
paste,.
Spread the starch over the page
with your fingers. When the color-
ing is well mixed into thR starch and
covers the entire page, begin mak-
ing designs, For various effects use
your fingers, forearm, palm, Ninths,
closed fist, hdel of your hand, finger
tips and fingernails.
What should, you paint? How
about drawing something you have
seen? Ton might paint a bird or
an animal. If you don't like the first'
picture you paint, erase tine work
with one sweep of your hand and
begin again, Maybe the 'next time
you can make repeated flower de-
signs,

One of the greatest of all food
controversies is in regard to fried
chicken—southern style. There are
almost as many theories regarding
the proper method of preparing this
succulent dish as there are about the
best way to mix 4 mint julep.
So today I thought perhaps you'd
like to have a recipe guaranteed to
be authentically "southeast"—and it
has nothing to do with fried
chicken, Maryland, as that entails
batter and deep fat. So here we go
for:
FRIED CHICKEN,
SOUTHERN STYLE
Select chickens of from two to
two and a half pounds weight; and
If you have the butcher disjoint
them for you, ask him to use a knife
rather than the cleaver, as the lat-
ter splinters the bones, leaving them
ime.ven and unsightly.
Some Southern cook{ '.ase two
frying pans, one far Viz• white meat,
the other ice ire dark. Thus-th—e
pieces tlt.et require about the same
length of cooking are grouped to-
gether—the white-meated portions
are done more quickly than the
dark, of course.
Season the chicken, including the
giblets, with salt and pepper; dredge
with flour. (Either roll in flour or
shake fn flour in a paper bag.) Melt
chicken fat in two frying pans so
that it's about a half-inch deep.
When hot arrange the white-meated
pieces in one, the dark in the other,
If only one pan is used, put the
dark in first, as they take longer
to cook. Turn often, being careful
not to pierce the flesh so the juice
will escape. Cook from 30 ten 40
minutes (depending on age and
tenderness of the birds) or till ten-
der and a deep brown in color,
The gravy is almost as impor-
tant as the chicken, and here again
there are different schools of
thought. In 'l'ennessee...they favor
a brown gravy, made with water;
in Alabama, a cream gravy, done
with milk. But be sure and make
plenty, which ever style you choose.
CHICKEN GRAVY
For each cup of gravy desired
leave two tablespoons of fat in the
pan together with any brown crusty
portions of chicken that have
dropped off. Pour off all the fat in
excess of desired amount, Blend in
flour, allowing two tablespoons for
the same amount of fat, Cook,
stirring till flour is brown. Slowly,
add water or milk, one cup for
each two tablespoons of fat and
flour. Cook, stirring till thickened.
Boil one minute. Season to taSte,
•
To ,go with the chicken- and
gravy, nothing could be .more ap-
roprialr than hot buttermilk bis
suits. And people down South de-
clare that we -northerners snake our
biscuits too thick and 100 big
are not much bigger titan a half

around. They favor biscuits that
dollar—thin and crispy, brown on
top and a glossy white inside.

Cether the dry ingredients twice,
hop in the shortening with a

give a soft dough. Stir till the
mixture forms a ball.
Now turn out on a lightly floured
. board and knead for about thirty
seconds. Rall to a quarter -inch in
thickness and cut svitjt a small
biscuit cutter. Put on a greased,
baking sheet. If a glazed surface
is wanted, brush the tops with
sweet milk. Bake at 500 degrees

Jesus Among People Of Other
Races
Mark 7:24-37
Golden Text:- God is no re-
apector of persons: but in every
nation he that feared:. Him, and
worketh righteousness, is accepted
with Him. Acts 10:34-35,
in the first year of His ministry
J*Tus laboured mainly in Jerusalem
and surrounding territory. Here was
the magnificent temple, the center
of Jewish worship. The next year
he devoted particularly to Galilee,
but the third year he went beyond
the borders of his own race. When
approached for help by a Greek
woman from Syrophenicia he re-
plied in the mood of the day, "Let
the children first be filled: for it is
not meet' to take the children's
bread, and to cast it unto the dogs."
But she was not deterred by the
reference to the centile dog. She
must have deliverance for her
deuton -possessed daughter. Her in-
sistent faith was rewarded. Jesus
cast out the devil.
But though Jesus tested this
woman's faith by speaking as his
countrymen, his statement also
served to bring into bolder relief his
-own attitude to people of other
races, To this woman, to the deaf
and dumb man of Decapolis and to
many others he accorded the same
mercy and love that he did to the
children of Abraham. His ministry
was to all.
It was written into the American
Constitution that "all men are born
free and equal." But four decades
passed and much blood was shed

Shakespeare Festival
The Festival of Shakespeare
play$ at the Memorial Theatre,
Stratford-upon-Avon, since it was
first held in 1864, has progressively
developed into an international
event in the theatrical world, be-
loved of devotees of the theatre
everywhere.
The 1949 Festival plans have just
been announced The Festival will
run from Saturday, the 16th of
April, to Friday, the 15th of July,
and, under the direction of Anthony
Quayle, and with such famous pro=
ducers as John Gielgud and God-
frey Tearle, will attempt to better
the outstanding successes of last
year.
Diana Wynyard, returning as the
leading actress, will play Lady
MacBeth in the opening production,
and then in various plays through-
out the season, Godfrey Tearle
will be seen as MacBeth, one of the
few great Shakespearean roles he
has lea to play; he is also cast as
Cardinal Wolsey' fn'"I'giesne,y-VIII'!
and will appear again as Othello—
these in addition to his work as
producer. These preliminary ad-
vices of the proposed programme
give promise that this season will
again be in the brilliant tradtion
of Stratford.. Many Canadians will
again make their way there for the
Festival, and might be well advised
to make advance hotel reservations
as soon as possible.
claimed whereby 1110 black slaves
were freed. But those in glass
houses shouldn't throw stones. We
have our racial prejudices in Can-
ada, too. We shouldn't allow immi-
grants to enter our country if we
are not prepared to equally share
the benefits and privileges with
them. We should remember that we,
too, are really foreigners here, for
this land originally was inhabited
by Indians.
Let us bear in mind that God
"hath made of one blood all nations
of men to dwell on all the face of
the earth.' Acts 18:26. This con-
sideration should eliminate racial
prejudice and help us to love and
help men of all nations as Jesus
did.
