The Seaforth News, 1941-09-18, Page 3THURSDAY, SEPT. 18, 1941' THE MIXING BOWS. By ANNE ALLAN Hydro Home Eames*,et GRAPES Hello Homemakers! One of the pleasures of early Fall is nibbling grapes, right off the bunch! They're so very delicate in flavour and text- ure. And possibly the best fruit available in September. :k :k * Grapes are an excellent source of iron and contain small amounts of vitamins. Then, too, they are easily preserved in a variety of ways. Substitute grape juice for the more expensive imported fruit juices— the morning fruit drink, refreshing fruit cocktails and sauces, relishes, catsup, conserves and fruit jelly. These surely add to the enjoyment of meat, salads, desserts or midnight snacks. Spivey grape sauce on a slice of broiled ham; grape jelly on cold turkey—or on hot muffins. We are giving you a few recipes for preserving this perishable fruit. Re- member—it's especially good for the children. • * * * September days and School days again have brought several requests for well-balanced meals for children just starting to walk a long way to and from school. And they do play so hard that they cannot help but work up an appetite. * * * * 'Weary mothers mixing dough, Don't you wish that food would grow? Your lips would smile, I know, to see .A cookie bush or a pancake tree?' Well never mind, make extra cookie dough or pancake batter and store in your electric refrigerator 'where it will not deteriorate, • * * • Suggested School Day Meals 1. Tomato Soup with crackers, Pear and Cream Cheese Salad, with assorted sandwiches, Milk, 2, Vegetable Soup with crackers, Chopped Creme Beef on toast, Ap- ple Pudding and Milk. 3.

Child Smothered In Bed Clothes.— Agatha Helen Leddy, three-month old daughter of Mr, and Mrs. Ray- mond Leddy, West Wawanosh, lost her life while taking her afternoon nap Wednesday when she was smo- thered in the bedclothes. The accid- ent is believed to have occured some time after ane o'clock. The child was found dead, its face buried in the clothing, when Mrs. Lecldy went into the bedroom to give the baby its afternoon feeding. The infant had been put to bed about 11 o'clock when it had last been fed. Persons had entered the room twice between that time and two o'clock to se if she were sleeping. Mrs.Leddy her- self had made certain that the child was asleep about 12.30 o'clock, Lat- er she sent her young son to see if his sister were all right. The child was pronounced dead due to accid- ental suffocation, by Lr, Gallow. No inquest was held.—Wingham Ad- vance -Times. Wawanosh Barn Burned.— A fire on Thursday afternoon completely destroyed a large barn on the farm of Ernest and Harold Gaunt, concession 12, West Wawa - nosh. Evidently a spark from the tractor being used for chopping, ig- nited the nearby straw stack. Sixty tons of hay and the seasons crop of 2,000 bushels of grain, one calf was burned and also the colony house, silo, pig pen and henhouse. Inducted at Clinton— Rev, G, W, Moore was inducted as rector of St. Paul's Anglican Church at Clinton on Wednesday evening last by Bishop C. A. Seager. THE SEAPORTH NEWS PAGE THREE HOW BRITAIN HANDLES WARTIME LABOUR Prom the Canadian Institute of International Affairs Labour policy in Great Britain. in the hands of the Ministry of La our and National Service. The Mi istry is assisted by the Nation Jelnt Advisory Council establishb at the beginning "of the war an consisting of fifteen representative of the Trades- Union Congress an fifteen representatives of the Br'i ish Employers' Confederation. Sine May, 1940, a smaller consultativ Committee - representative of bot organizations has acted. - As 4,800 000 of Britain's 6,200,000 unio members are represented by th Trades Union Congress, that bod has an authoritative voice. Collec ive bargaining and unionizatio have long been recognized as a accepted feature of British industry and the unions since war began hay shared considerable responsibility i the formulation of government pot icy. After the disasters of May 1940, the new Churchill governmen passed an Emergency Powers Ac giving itself the power to mobiliz all the economic and financial re sources of the nation by the con scription of persons and property Although these- powers were no drastically exercised for some time by July of this year unemploymen had fallen from over one million i March, 1990, to under 300,000 During the crucial period of th summer of 1940,.the restrictions re garding working conditions were re laxed, and workers laboured fo from fifty to seventy hours a week in vital industries to replace the materials lost in France, After sev eral months of such effort, more normal conditions were re-establish ed on the principle that exhausted workers in the end are less efficien than those with regular holidays and hours of labour. To settle industrial disputes with out strikes Mr, Bevin, the Minister of Labor, in July, 1940, accepted a plan prepared at his invitation by a joint Council of Employers and Employees. The plan called for a National Arbitration Tribunal con- sisting of a chairman and two mem- bers appointed by the Minister and two others selected by him in agree- ment with the Trades Union Cong- ress and the British Employ- ers' Confederation, This body was given jurisdiction over disputes which had not been settled or in which there had been too much de- lay in reaching a settlement under the previous agencies of conciliation or arbitration. The Minister of La- bour could also on his own author- ity refer disputes directly to the Tribunal, Decisions of the Tribunal are binding on both employer and employee. Strikes and lock -outs are forbidden unless the Minister has not referred the dispute to arbitra- tion within 21 days after it is sub- mitted to him. The Minister can also impose terms and conditions of employment on employers in accord- ance with the standards of the par- ticular industry or locality. To pro- tect trade union rights he can also insist on the recording of any war- time changes of normal practices or conditions so that readjustments can Later be made. Strikes have not been ended, but the total loss in 1940 was the lowest on record. Most of the disputes concerned wage in- creases, Because of the rise in the cost of living the Government has permitted wages as a whole to rise 18 per cent between September, 1939, and March, 1941. These rises have varied greatly with occupa- tions and localities, so that whereas some workers are undoubtedly bet- ter off, the real income of the work- ing classes, as well as that of the well-to-do, has undoubtedly declined. Although Mr. Bevin hesitated to use his compulsory powers to mobil'- ize labour power, it became clear last winter that voluntary measures were no longer adequate. In Janu- ary began the gradual process of compulsory registration ofall civil- ians, both male and female. All men with a certain experience at ship -building were drafted into that vital industry. Men of 41-45 and women of 20 were ordered to regis- ter. The drafting of women has been .designed to put to work idle women without family or other re- sponsibility. To prevent shifts of labour in certain industries, permis- sion must now be secured from a National Service Officer before an employer can dismiss a workman, except for serious misconduct, or be- fore an cnployee can leave his post. The industries in which these re- strictions now prevail are shipbuild- ing, engineering, construction, coal - mining, and the merchant marine. To assist in solving the great Prob- lem of shortage of - man -power, the Churchill government has greatly expanded the original scheme of training centres for armament workers. There have been revisions of the list of "reserved occupations", those jobs which men are not al- lowed to leave to join the armed forces. One of the main purposes of the "concentration" of industry now under way is to free more labour for vital industries, Ths' aim of this "concentration" is to double up fac- tories producing non-essential goods, thus freeing men, materials, and plants for arms production. GARDEN OF 5,000,000 PLANTS Celebrates a Century of Empire Enterprise Today some 5,000,000 plant:, are classified and filed in the herbarium of the world's most famous botani- cal gardens now celebrating their centenary in the midst oi' the war, The Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew, covering 290 acres near Rich- mond on 'the Thames, sprang from a small private garden belonging to George the Third's mother which had already sent out expeditions for specimens to help agriculturists in the Empire's early days. One of these was the famous voyage of Captain Bligh who went off to the South Seas in search of the bread- fruit tree. The expedition ended in the mutiny of the crew and Bligh's historic voyage of 3,600 miles in an open boat. The aim of the Royal Botanical Gatldens, which first opened their gates to the public on April 12, 1841, was the Empire development of seeds and plants of economic importance. It was Kew, for ex- ample, which sent out to India cin- chona plants grown from cuttings collected in South America for qui- nine to relieve malaria. Today the cinchona is grown in plantations owned by the Indian Government and factories extract its quinine and other alkaloids, - A few years after the cinchona venture the introduction of rubber plants was initiated by the Govern- ment of India, Although some of the specimens then secured by Kew from South America were unsuited for plantation production, the rub- ber industry not only of Southern India but of Malaya and Ceylon has been the direct result of the enter- prise- shown by the Royal Botanical Gardens of Kew. Useful Hints on Storing Vegetables— All vegetables intended for stor- age during the winter should be grown to full maturity, otherwise they cannot be expected to keep well. For the storage of onions, a cool dry cellar, with the temperature not over 40 degrees at any time, is ideal, and when the onions are not piled to any great depth, shallow slatted crates or shelves will be found satisfactory. Particularly in districts where the growing season is short, onions may require some help to ripen. As soon as the tops of a few plants fall over, all tops should be bent clown. This checks the flow of sap and causes the bulbs to ripen. A few days later the plants should be pulled, and if the 'weather continues fine, the onions should be turned over occasionally until the tops are fairly well dried, They should then be cut off and the onions spread in the open or in slatted crates. When dry, they may be placed in storage for the winter. With regard to squash and pump- kins, on no account should they be exposed to the least frost. As soon as the rind is firm enough to prevent piercing by the finger nail, the fruit may be taken from the plant. Pump- kins and squash should be stored in a dry place at a temperature of from 40 to 50 degrees. At all times they should be handled as carefully as eggs. The slightest bruise, even though not noticeable, is likely to cause decay in storage. When large quantities are to be stored, slatted shelves should be used so that the fruit may not be piled on top of one another. For storing cabbage, all the outer leaves should first be removed and the heads handled carefully to prevent bruising, A dry day when there is no rain lodged in the heads should be chosen for storing in a dry cool place. If there is good cir- culation in the storeroom, the heads may be piled in several layers. Small quantities may be pulled with- out cutting off the heads and sus- pended from a joist in the cellar. The roots may be left on but all the outer leaves should be removed. Carrots, beets, and parsnips should be kept very cool, and be well dried before storing. Potatoes keep well in a dry place with the temperature be- tween 30 and 40. - McKILLOP Mr, Robert Kenny and daughters Maly and Geraldine and Mr, and Mrs. D. J, Crowley, all of Kinkora, visited with.

The cievotlonal exercise were conducted by Mrs. W. A. Ma Laren and Mrs. H. Workman of He sail. .A cordial welcome was eaten ed to the visiting members by Mr Robert Eberhart. The treasurer's statement for th past eight months was read by Mrs T. Swan Smith, who requested th members to make an extra effort t complete the allocation before th end of the year. The secretary rea a letter from a young girl thankin the society for sending her as a del egate to the summer school at Kin tail. Miss McDonald of Clinton, sup ply secretary, reported bales of ex- cellent clothing for Indian boys and girls and also a large supply of lay- ettes for Indian babies sent to Bir - tle Indian school, Rosthern Indian reserve, Man„ Canova, Man„ and Rocky Mountain hospital. She in- formed the members that a larger supply would be required next year, Remarks by the Presbyterial secret- aries indicated progress in the diff- erent departments. A practical paper on "What Con- stitutes Good Minutes," was read by Mrs. James Kerr, Greetings from the Presbytery were -conveyed by the moderator, Rev. William Weir, of Hensel', who offered the closing prayer. Dinner was then served to 150 guests including members of Presbytery, by the Barbara Kirkman Auxiliary of First church. The afternoon session began at 1,45 p.m, 'with the call to worship and the national anthem. Miss Lily McArthur of Val d'Or, Que., read the scripture lesson and Miss Ross of Port Huron led in prayer. Miss Pelton, promotion secretary, gave an address on missions and their re- lation to the future of Canada and the world. The speaker began with the words of our Lord when He wept over Jerusalem, "If thou hadst known in this thy day the things that belong to thy peace," and referred to an- other translation reading. "Would that you knew, tee, on what your peace depends," "Since the last war," said Miss Pelton, "the so-called years of peace were only a cessation of hos- tilities, We all talked of peace. Even in Germany for a few years the young people said there would be no more war. We had a hazy idea of what we wanted, but we were only building a roof, without any foundation. The Bible says 'the work of righteousness shall be peace,' and we make a big mistake if we think that it just happens. "The Chinese have a saying that peace is the consummation of hely living', and another that 'peace comes when hearts are level with each other.' If we add righteousness to the second one it would eliminate the way of' the aggressor, whose idea of peace is to bring everyone's heart down to his own level. "When this war is over, unless the church becomes a vital force there will be no real peace. We are all busy with war work, and must do all we can to help, but we can't put our church work on one side for the duration, and expect to take it up where we left off, After the war there will be thousands of young people' in Germany without God, and the world will have to live with them. Has the church any place in this problem? "We are glad to say it has! Through our help to orphaned mis- sions the Confessional Church in Germany still survives in spite of persecution, and its witness is grow- ing. When the heel of persecution is lifted, we can have a greater share in its work. "India is another problem. The people want independence, yet don't realize that their own religious prob- lems are keeping them back, Thous- ands in India are always hungry, yet rats are allowed to eat up enough food to supply thousands of people. They are sacred and' must not be killed, The cow is a sacred animal, so must be fed, but is of no benefit to anyone, Thousands of babies are born with no future ahead of them, yet child' marriage still goes on. The faith that is to control India when she gains inde- pendence will mean a great deal to the British Commonwealth, so we without any religious services. We o need worker,, We could use twenty s deaconesses if we had the money. c'- Wherever they go they are looked d- up to, and welcomed, After the war, s !newcomers will come to our shores, i We must prepare for that time, and it will need sacrifice on our part. e Let us pray that God will give us a vision beyond our allocation, and e help us to realize our own responsi- o bility. Would that we knew, too, on e what our peace depends." 1 Mrs. Jack conveyed the thanks of g all present to Miss Pelton for her splendid address. Following the offertory Mrs. 3. A. Munn and Mrs. W. A. Wright rend- ered a duet accompanied by Mrs. M. R. Rennie, Prayers of confes- sion, thanksgiving, and for the na- tions at war were offered by Mrs. Albert Taylor, Goderich, Miss L. Jeckyll, Exeter, and Mrs. McDonald, Clinton, A glad tidings quiz contest proved vert' interesting. A report of the courtesy committee was read by Hiss Wiggins of Goderich.. Mrs, 3. C. Greig read a most in- spiring letter from Douglas Stewart of McGiII Theological College, Mon- treal, son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Stewart of Seaforth and e. student missionary at KiIlam, Alberta, de- scribing the work of the church. He remarked that the community there is in a desperate state owing to the crop failure caused by the drought. In spite of these discouragements, he said, the people are optimistic and set an example to the people of the East in their support of their church and in regular attendance. Mrs, D. H. Wilson was appointed assistant mission band secretary. Mrs, M. A. Reid was tendered a 'vote of thanks for her capable serv- ices as secretary. Several members of the Goforth mission band sang a chorus, "God Is Love." The meeting closed with prayer by the president. Appointed Deputy Sheriff— Miss E, O'Hearn has been appoint- ed deputy sheriff of Huron to succeed Mrs. Joseph Malone, the former Miss Theresa Delaney. Miss O'Hearn is a native of Dublin and has been in the legal office of L. E. Dancey at Gode- rich the last four years. Predicts More Air Schools— Within -six months there will be two or three times as many airmen in Hm'on county as there are at pre- sent. This is the prediction of a well- informed gentleman who has follow- ed the development of air -training in this area from the beginning. He says that eventually every branch of aviation, from the training of the raw recruit to the turning out of the finished product, will be taught within a radius of thirty or forty miles of Goderich, thus centralizing supervision and maintenance and cut- ting down transportation costs, This gentleman points to the elementary flying school at Sky Harbor, the nav- igation and wireless schools already in operation, the service flying school under construction at Centra- lia, at which three types of 'planes will be used, an auxiliary landing school at Grand Bend, under con- struction. another one at St. Joseph, and a bombing and gunnery school at Amberley. He says students of the last named will be accommodat- ed at the navigation school a short distance away, at which new build- ings are to be erected to take care of the students.—Goderich Signal -Star.
