Four -Cornered
Eggs in Plastic
Imagine buying your Ireeh
eggs in rectangular shells — or,
actually without shells —: eggs
which, in all probability, will
cost less, and will keep fresh
longer.
Such are the so-called "naked
eggs," now being sold in 12 -
compartment plastic packets
and tested for consumer reac-
tion in several selected retail
outlets in Ithaca, N.Y.
Even though such plastic
containers sold at a five -cent
premium over other types of
cartons, they accounted for as
high as 47 per cent of egg sales.
The same type of test was

repeated in Maine, with slight-
ly over half the eggs sold in
plastic cartons at the five -cent
premium, clear proof that many
persons like to see just what
they are buying, and are will-
ing to pay extra for the privi-
lege of doing so.
The 12 compartments in the
packet, each holding an egg, or
two, measure two by three
inches, and are about three-
quarters of an inch deep, A
machine breaks open the eggs
and drops them into the indi-
vidual compartments, which
are then sealed by a machine
with strong film, No hands
touch the eggs at any time,
The new shell -less eggs pro-
vide many advantages beyond
settling the "egg -old" question
of which are best—the brown
shelled or the white - shelled
variety. The plastic "shells" are
perfectly transparent and color-
less.
The 12 - egg packet occupies
about half the refrigerator space
of the conventional divided
cardboard carton which it is de-
signed to replace,
Egg breakages are cut to
"zero," since they've already
been broken.
The new package also offers
a real opportunity for increased
sales of pee -wee eggs, for two
of these may be placed in each
compartment. thus making a
"double -yolked" egg available
to consumer: at about the large-
, egg price. Normally, pee -weer '
' are more difficult to sell for
home use than medium or large
eggs.
Although the "naked eggs"
can be kept without refrigera-
tion, they will remain fresh
longer if refrigerated, accord-
;ing to Prof, L, B. Darrah, of
Cornell University, who devel-
oped the idea.
There's alto the added con-
venience of not having to dis-
pose of egg shells, and the
housewife's work is streamlined
still further by her ability to•
boil or poach the egg right in
the sealed plastic containers.
After cooking, the top film is
removed, and the eggs may be
eaten right from the container,
thus saving dishes,
When the eggs are separated
for cakes, icings, or souffles,
the whites may be drained off
merely by cutting a hole in the
top of the compartment. The
eggs must be removed from the
container, however, for frying
or scrambling, or when they
are used for other cooking pur-
poses.
This new egg package is just
one of the newest developments
in rigid plastic containers, use
of which, it is predicted, will
increase from five to 10 -fold in
the next five years.
Modern
Etiquette...

Q. Is it all right for a man to
remove his glove to shake
hank when being introduced.
A. Yes, if he can do so quickly
and without making it too ob-
vious. He need not, however, de-
lay the introduction and it is
in good form for him to shake
hands with his glove on — nor
does he have to apologize for it.
Q. If one falls to hear a name
in an introduction, is it all right
to ask the one who is making
the introduction to repeat it?
A, You should address your
question to the person being in-
trOduced to you, as, "I'm sorry,
but I did not hear your name
clearly."

I wondered when we, in this
earner of the globe, would start
hearing about storms on the sur-
face of the sun. Quite a while
ago I read in an English maga-
zine that our little planet was
likely to experience a series of
atmospheric disturbances be-
cause of these solar storms.
Well, judging by last week's
weather the series seem to have
started all right — and we don't
care how soon they quit. Actu-
ally, the weather is fine just
now. I have just come in after
roaming around and the air was
lovely, crisp and cold, and birds
were singing as if they were
make a call on a good friend
who has been bereaved?
A. Yes, A brief note of sym-
pathy is sufficient before the
funeral, and a call of condolence
should be made soon after the
funeral.
Q. Is it all right to ask, "Who
is this," or, "What number is
this," when making a telephose
call and someone answers whose
voice you do not recognize?
A. This is too often done, and
it is extremely ill-bred, The
correct thing always is to ask
for the person with whom one
wishes to speak.
Q. If one is attenling church
services that are not familiar,
should one copy the movements
of the members of the congrega-
tion, or just remain stationary?
A, Do what the others do, and
you will show more courtesy and
will be less conspicuous.
Q. When is the spoon for the
after-dinner coffee placed on
the table?
A. This spoon is brought in
with the coffee when it 1s
served.
Q. If a host is carving the
meat at the table, should he cut
enough for everyone before
serving anyone?
A. Yes,
confident the storms were over
and good weather on the way.
Here's hoping the birds are
right Nobody wants a repetition
Of last Friday's freezing rain.
Of course I had to go down town
that day — to a funeral, no less,
For that little trip I called a
taxi and got a ride home with
a neighbour. 1 wouldn't let our
neighbour drive me up the lane
because I was afraid ho might
slide into the ditch, So I got
out of the car at the road, and
there I was, absolutely scared
to take n step. Farther up there
was crunchy snow either side
of the lane — if I could only get
to it. But that was a big 'if'.
And then 3 saw Partner coming
down the lane to meet me. Was
I ever glad. I might have been
on the ice yet if he hadn't ap-
peared on the scene.
Before the ice storm there was
quite a bit of activity around
here what with visitors, insur-
ance agents and real estate men
coming along trying out their
persuasive powers, with Partner.
And while the weather was
good our barnyard population
was considerably reduced. John-
ny rrived one day and took bis
four heifers back home, The
next day we sent a veal calf
to market, and then we got an-
other one to take its place, The
hens were laying particularly
well but because of the icy
roads the egg man did not col-
lect the eggs. Can't say that I
blame him — after all who
would want to take a chance on
sliding off the road with a
truck -load of eggs? And then, as
if the ice -storm wasn't enough
to deal with our cats and dogs
got into trouble - just to re-
lieve the monotony, I suppose, It
was this way! Black Joe picked
a fight with a stray feline up in
the barn and between them they
upset a small open can of crank-
case oil all oven themselves ---
oil
oil that Partner uses to paint
the hen roosts. And then Joe
came to the house for sympathy
and first aid! Now I ask you —
what could a person do for -a
poor little pussycat plastered
with crankcase oil? It couldn't
be washed off. Coal oil might
have helped but what would the
coal oil have done to the poor
cat's skin? The best I could do
was to rub poor Joe with an old
towel. And then I had to put
him outside because we couldn't
stand the smell of him around.
Nor could I have him leaving
an oil patch behind him where -
ever he sat, Finally for the next
few days Joe did what a cat al-
ways does—licked himself clean.
In doing so he also made himself
sick so that he couldn't eat. Now,
thank goodness, the oil has disap-
peered — but so has a lot of
Joe's fur,
The next excitement was caus-
ed by Rusty who ran into the
house bringing with him an
odour of skunk. Fortunately it
wasn't very strong so that with
fresh air, and by rolling around
in the snow, Rusty got rid of thm
smell, While all this activity wap
going on with our various ani-
mals we had a visitor from Tor-
onto for a couple of days
visitor who lives in a well-ap-
pointed apartment where cath
and dogs are unknown. We man-
aged to protect her from contam-
ination. While she was with us
our television got a rest - ex-
cept from Press conference and
the late newscast which she
seemed to enjoy. As for our- ,
selves we are still exploring the
television field, finding muck
that is good and some that is
bad. Like the little girl with the
curl — "When it's good, it's very
very good, but when it's bad it's
horrid". And I'do mean 'horrid'.
We thought the "Automaton"
panel discission with Dr. Fromm
was splendid, There was cer-
tainly 'plenty for the mind' in"
that discussion. "Country Cal-
endar" . we think it could
do with a little less talk and a
little more action, "Omnibus"
is wonderful but some of the
half-hour dramas are positively
inane. However, television ham
a terrific audience so there has
to be variety — always remem-
bering that one man's meat is
another man's poison,: and that
it is entirely up to ourselves
whether or not we watch any
particular program.
Stop Press News! Partner just
looked in to tell me that spring
9 on the way ... he just saw a
crow fly over! Now who are
we to trust—the crows who think
that spring is in the air or ex-
perts who tell us that storms
on the sun are going to have re
bad r sfluonce on the earth's
weather pattern for the next few
months? It may be wishful
thinking but I'll put my faith in
the old black crow. After all
he has quite a bit of backing
because down town someone was
telling me a robin was seen last
week. Maybe the robin and the
crow had a little conference and
decided that we mortals needed is
little cheering up about the
weather,

"Oh, yes," replied Johnsen,
