The Brussels Post, 1950-12-13, Page 3Should Plant 'Em—Ugly, olcl- fashioned overhead wiring mars the modern face of Toronto's Bay Street, one of Canada's most important thoroughfares and 'heart of the big city's fin- ancial district. Toromtonians are hopeful that this will lead to another improvement, the elimination of poles and over- head wires by placing wiring underground. His First Sight Of Hudson's Bay Hudson's Bay ks far as the eye could see, the beach sloped gently into the somber forest. The gray sea and the gray covering of high clouds domed together to the horizon. The tide had turned and was being sucked rapidly from where they stood, silent and mo- tionless. A mysterious force drove the water outwards. Each wave, raising its endless, oily head and runing the length of the shore, fell a foot or more below the previous one. In half an hour a mile of dark, uneasy bottom was laid bare. Be- fore it turned again, and with the same mysterious force, started climbing toward the forest, the lip of the sea would have retreated twenty miles into itself. The mud quivered faintly, tiny hubbies rose and remained, small holes opened and gaped. Curious shellfish materialized and scurried meaninglessly across the mud. Gulls came and hunted then down.... There was nothing Paul wanted to say to anyone; he felt only an urge to detach himself from the others, whose exclmnations seemed forced and filled with distaste. He wandered from the group until he could not hear them. There was nothing but the dis- tant wind in the treetops on one side of him and the distant waves on the other. Between the two he moved alone. If he stayed forever, only the sea would roll itself to his feet and slip away again, over and over in a terrifying vision of cos- mic life. There. were the sun, the moon, spects of stars. All the water of the world was united in a com- mon fate, swaying to the motion of the earth, responsive to the heavenly bodies. He, a man, was unnoticed by the smallest creature, scaly and forgotten by time, that ran over his naked toes. . . He had dreamed of standing on this sho're with the expedition clus- tered about him, contemplating a land whose greatest beauty would be in the inexplicable signs that .they were the first to build a fire, the first to catch its innocent game, the first to see its own peculiar constellations. He would be wiser and stronger for the discovery by so much as the Bay was vaster than a lake. There would be something in its virgin air that had never been breathed by humatl lungs before that would change his pulse. . And now the beckoning song he had heard had fallen silent, the vision was an unimaginable waste- land, devoid of all qualities that the human mind could grasp..— Front "River and Empty Sea," by "Cools Vaczek. BREAKING IT GENTLY Ginsberg had a remarkable run of luck in a dice game one day and piled up $3,000 in winnings. He went to the well once too often, however, shot the whole $3,000, and lost. The shock was so great that he promptly died of heart failure, His friend Solomon was designated to break the sad tidings to Mrs. Ginsberg. He found her baking a strudel in the kitchen. "Your husband was in a little crap game this afternoon, Mrs. Ginsberg," he said diffidently by way of a start. "The loafer:" said Mrs, Ginsberg, continuing with her batting. "He was ahead $3,000," continued Solomon, "but he bet it all at one dine and got cleaned out," "Three thousand dollars," screamed Mrs: Ginsberg, now thor- oughly aroused. "He should drop (lead." Solomon nodded gravely. "He did. Good day, Mrs. Ginsberg." ! T.A. , ILE TALKS ;tilt$ ; i eJaue, Andtk ws, mme It might be appropriate I£ I start- ed today's column with a little story that has been going the rounds, and causing many a laugh: * * KK "My first turkey!" exclaimed the bride proudly. "It looks swell, darling," said her husband. "What did you stuff it wits h"nuc wa nit t with? Why, honey, hollow." * * * If you want to start an argument —the friendly sort, of crouse—just ask a group of folies what is the PERFECT stuffing for turkey. For more than a hundred years folks have been disagreeing as to the sort of herbs and seasoning that should be used, or whether the mixture should be moist or dry. * * 5 If you expect me to try and settle such a controversy, you're in for a disappointment. I'm much too old a hand at the game to get caught that way. However, this week I'm going to give you a basic recipe for a mildly -flavoured bread crumb stuffing. Following that a few variations on the sante theme, * * a The quantities given are for a "small family" bird—five pounds dressed weight; but it's easy for you to increase them to suit what- ever size you want to cook. As to the roasting—just one hint. I think you'll find it more satis- factory to have the bird BREAST DOWN until about three-fourths clone, then right-side-up till the job is done. * * * BASIC BREAD CRUMB STUFFING 1 small anion, chopped 1 stalk celery with leaves, chopped V3 to one-half cup butter or margarine 1 to two teaspoons poultry seasoning or sage IA teaspoon salt Pepper 2 tablespoons chopped parsley (optional) 5 cups stale bread cubes or crumbs Water, milk or giblet broth (optional) Method: (1) Saute onion and celery in fat till 0111011 is tender but not brown. (2) Add all ingredients to bread crumbs, toss together, and, if a moist dressing is desired, add enough liquid to barely moisten crumbs. Yield: Enough for a five - pound turkey. 5 i' 1 BASIC STUFFING VARIATIONS Chestnut Stuffing Use not more than one-third cup fat and reduce bread crumbs to three and a half cups. Add one pound boiled, coarsely chopped chestnuts. To prepare chestnuts, cut a cross in the flat side of each shell. Boil in water to cover twenty minutes or till tender. Shell, peel and chop. Mushroom Stuffing Cook one-half pound sliced mush- rooms with the onion and proceed as directed. * * * Giblet Stuffing Simmer giblets in water till ten- der. Chop and measure, Substitute for an equal amount of bread crumbs. * * * Cornbread Stuffing Substitute cornbread crumbs for all or part of the bread crumbs. Ham or bacon drippings may be used in place of part of the butter or margarine. * * * Sausage Stuffing Crumble four to six ounces sau- sage neat and brown in skillet. Remove sausage and saute onion and celery in part bacon fat and part butter or margarine. Add all to crumbs and proceed as directed. * * * For those who like extra dressing or prefer the brown crusty kind, here is a special recipe for one to be baked separately: 1 Was Neariy Crazy With Fiery Itch— .x diseav0 08 Dr, D, D.

Tips About Sewing On Plastics Plastics need their own sewing rules. Machines ]teed definitely to be regulated for stitching plastic fail- rics, says Miss Edna Gray, clothing specialist. Use a fine needle and a long stitch, Miss Gray advises, adjusting the stitch regulator to the length used for machine basting—about 7 of S stitches per inch—and using a loose tension. No basting is possible when working with plastics, Miss Gray points out, so work roust be right the first time, Ripping will. leave a line of holes, which is not only unattractive but also weakens the fabric. Pins also must be eliminated since they, too, make holes in the fabric. For narking, use chalk, crayon or colored pencil, she says. Because plastic fabrics are very smooth, they mai slip as they go through the sewing machine. Ad- just the pressure on the presser foot until the fabric will feed through smoothly without leaving an imprint of the feed on the seam line. Sew slowly. Do not pull or push the work; the machine should be so well adjusted that the fabric will 1110ve through with little as- hi0ta11ir. Fasten thread ends by bringing both ends to the wrong side and tying. Hems are not necessary, as plastic fabrics will not fray at the edges, Edges may be ]r strai5,ht or pinked. MISUNDERSTOOD Standing at the gangway of a ship the steward kept shouting for the benefit of arriving passengers: "First-class to the right! Second- class to tate left!" A young woman stepped daintily aboard with a baby in her arms. As she hesitated before the steward, he bent over her and said: "First or second!" "Oh," said the girl, blushing vividly, "it's not mine." WELL-KNOWN FEELING Neighbor John says: "While I'm carrying the first 50 l ushels of leaves to my compost heap I can be fiercely intolerant of the man who wantonly wastes nature's bounty by burning them, but after that—well, there is something nice about leaf smoke.
