TESTED FIECIPES
RHUBARB
To many a Canadian housewife one
of the early signs of spriug is the
appearance of the first tender stalks
of Strawberry-t'ecl rhubarb. Canadian
grown rhubarb is now being welcom-
ed .in many• homes and provides an
opportunity for variety in the daily
menu. Present sugar restrictions de-
mand more care and attention in the
preparation of this spring product,
The Consumer Section, Marketing
Service, Dominion Department of
Agriculture, recommends the follow-
ing tested recipes.
Stewed Rhubarb
5, cups rhubarb
(washed and cut into 1 inch
pieces)
% cup sugar
14 cup Water -
Wash and dice rhubarb' but do not
peel. Place in pan with water and
cook over low heat until soft. Rhu-
barb can be cooked in double boiler
Without water if desired. When done,,
remove from stove; add sugar, re-
place cover and allow to stand until
cool. Less sugar is required if added
after the fruit is cooked. Corn syrup
or honey can replace sugar In equal
amounts.
It should be noted that different
varieties of rhubarb vary in tart-
ness. Therefore the proportions given
are only approximate.
A general rule that might be use-
ful is 2 tbsp. sugar for every cup of
raw diced rhubarb.
Rhubarb Foam
2 cups, diced rhubarb
1/ cup water
1 tbsp. cornstarch
14-z/ cup granulated sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
2 egg whites stiffly beaten
Cook the rhubarb in water until
tender and then add the sugar and
cornstarch which has been blended.
Cook this until there is no taste of
raw starch. Allow to cool. Fold in
stiffly beaten egg whites and vanilla.
Chill and serve with a custard sauce
made from the egg yolks. This will
serve 4-6.
Rhubarb Crisp
6 cups diced rhubarb
`1. cup granulated sugar
2 tbsp. butter
24 cup flour
6 tbsp. brown sugar
W cup wheat germ
Dice the rhubarb nad mix with the
sugar, Place in buttered baking dish.
Combine the butter, flour, brown
sugar and wheat germ and spread the
mixture on top of the rhubarb. Bake
50-60 minutes in a moderate oven
(250 degrees F.) or until rhubarb is
soft and top is golden brown.
Rhubarb Custard Pie
Pour boiling water over 2 cups
°'hopped rhubarb add 2 tsp. salt,
all ow to stand 5 misutes and drain
off. To the rhubarb add: 1 cup sugar;
1 tbsp. butter (melted); 1 tbsp. flour;
1 egg yolk (well beaten).
Bake in lower crust. When baked,
cover top with meringue made from
egg white, beaten very stiff, with 3
tbsp, white sugar. BroWn in a slow
oven.
She was four years old when her
little brother, the son and heir, ar-
rived, and great was her delight in
the christening party, especially the
snowy white cake with the little sil-
ver cradle on the top. Then, two or
three weeks later, she was taken to a
wedding and at the reception was
close to the bride when the latter
began to cut the wedding cake, Her
face fell, and she rushed to het
mother. "Mummy, they've forgetter
the cradle!"

"UNFINiS-HED BUSINESS"
muimmilmllor
IN 25 YEARS
Twenty-five years from now many
will look back and, with curling lips,
substitute the word 'antique' for
'modern.' "Well," the .purious ask,
"what will it be like 25 years from
now?"
Boiled down, the answer is: "The
world of tomorrow is here. But it
takes 25 years for the public at large
to adopt the latest discoveries of
science and mechanics into their
heater."
Industry is forever ahead of the
hone. There is, for instance, the elec-
tric eye, sometimes called the 'magic'
eye, which is not magic at all, but a
photoelectric cell so sensitive that it
can be activated by hte light of a
star. Industrially, this futuristic gad-
get is utilized for the automatic open-
ing and closing of doors.
Suppose we throw the gears of time
into high and leap ahead a quarter of
a century;
The first scene is that of the house-
wife of 1967 on a winter day. She's
quite a stream -lined model, with
stockings of coal and a dress of
glass. Although it is 10 degrees below
zero outside, 'she's not worrying
about stoking the furnace: her trans-
lucent plastic "glass" house is heated
by infrared rays. Well, not exactly
her house, for the air remains cool.
It is really the lady who is warmed,
for these rays heat only the object
they are focussed upon.
Infrared rays also cook her water
farm mango -tomatoes, the fourth crop
since April last. As she waits for the
electric -eye indicator to tell her that
the vegetables are done, she tunes in
the television to hear and see the
matinee perfromance of Carmen at
the opera house.
Mrs. 1967 has an abundance of time
to sit in front of her television set,
for she has seldom any house cleaning
to do since no dust is able to filter
through the airtight windows, The
air in her home is wholly conditioned.
passed through an elecrtically
charged area, then through a series
of plates oppositely charged. The
plates capture, quickly and silently,
about 99%n of all solid matter in the
attnosphere: dust, particles, soot, pol-
len, and even bacteria.
Today, these air cleaners, called
precipitrons, are a novelty. Tomorrow
they will be as commonplace as the
radio. Regulations will likely require
that every factory somestack in a
city be equipped with them. The air
in the metropolitan areas will then
'become as clean and fresh as that
breathed by country dwellers.
The housewife of tomorrow need
not fear the possibility of her bread
going moldy or the meat to'nisg bad
if stored for too long a time in the
refrigerator. Scientists have already
discovered a death -ray weapon against
spores and germs, the sterilamp.
Sterilamps are now being installed
by hospitals to kill ah' -borne bacteria
in the operating rooms. Utensils and
glasses in the larger restaurants and
hotels are sterilized with the death
ray lamp. Cakes and bread are pre-
vented from molding,
In 1967 it is quite possible that
theatregoers will get baths of germ
killing radiation and, if an epidemic
should break out, the commissioners
may prescribe attendance at irradiat-
ed public places rather than quitrent-
ine and isolation.
And who knows, by that time death
rays may be so highly developed that
they will be used against insects as
well as germs.
The next 25 years will see great
progress in itarneesing the vast down•
pour of energy from the sou. Recent-
ly, a patent was granted for a solar -
power machine capable of. competing
with coal•in the generation'of steam,
This device captures the sun's rays
011 a trough•tlke aluminum mirror
driven by clockwork to follow the
sot's daily march across the sky. The
mirror brings the rays to a sharp, hot
focus upon an insulated glass tube
containing a thin stream of water in
constant circulation, On a bright day
the water soon becomes hot enough'
to flash into steam.
The solar machine can do all kinds
of cooking satisfactorily. It will stew,
boil and preserve, and even fry eggs
and bacon. Insulation makes the tem-
perature of the water drop so slowly
overnight that in the morning enough
heat is left to bake biscuits.
Several hundred solar water heat -
ors, oven and stills are in operation
in California. The apparatus is cheap,
costs little to keep in repair and, of
course, the power is free and inex-
haustible.
The probie mof solar energy has
been attacked from another angle. If
the present rate of research progress
continues, the houses of tomorrow
may be covered with photoelectric
shingles which will provide all the
household light and power.
Preliminary steps have already
been taken towards radical changes
in methods of lighting our homes. In-
stead of producing lights by the ord-
inary incandescent bulb, the fluores-
cent lamps work on an entirely new
principle in the field of practical il-
lumination. The tube of a fluorescent
lamp is filled with a thin mercury
vapor. Discharges of current through
the vapor produce invisible ultraviolet
radiation.
WOMEN CLOGMAKERS
Remember Their Skill at the Bench
in 19141918
Women who, as young girls, made
clogs for Britain's factories in the
last was' are to -day returning to work
alongside their sons ,and daughters at
the benches. There they are making
heavy protective footwear for muni-
tions factories, steel workers and all
kinds of industrial concerns.
More important than ever, now that
the loss of Malaya means less rubber
for gumboots, Britain's present pro-
duction of 50,000 clogs a week can be
stepped up to 100,000 'without adding
to existing plant. And the raw mat-
erials need no shipping space; much
of the leather comes from Britain's
cattle herds, the wood from the
beechwoods of the Chilterns, and the
iron tips and pails from tate found-
ries of the Midlands. The clogs are
very different from the all -wooden
Continental sabot. Buit up carefully
and skilfully like a heavy boot,
sometimes with felt linings for com-
fortable wear, they are clogs only .so
fan' as the sole is made of shaped
beechwood, the best material for the
purpose. Resisting heat, cold, water,
molten metal and glass and injurious
chemicals, they are much better than
leather -soled boots, which would
erack oe perish under suck condi-
tions. They last longer, nad are quite
50 per cent cheaper than rubber.•
Queen Anne is dead, but not a clog
factory founded during heir reign
which made footwear for the soldiers
of Marlborough and has the same
family represented on its board as in
1703, Standing opposite the "blitzed"'
ruins of Bow Church, London, the
men and women working there to -day
are turning out over 100 pairs of
clogs a week each for explosives
'works, collieries, chemical, gas and
electrical works, bottling and canning,
factories, steel "roiling mills, laund-
ries, railway workshops, Stables, gar-
ages, glassworks, dairies, breweries,
distilleries, oil refineries and so on.
