HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Seaforth News, 1950-11-02, Page 7TABLE TALKS 0Y Jam Andrews, Although the "boughteu" kind are tasty, anybody who has eaten 't doughnuts made its the good OW- , fashioned "Down East" manner will agree that there's nothing to compare with them. Doughnuts ` That are crisp - coated on the out- s aide, soft and delicate within, faint- ly sweet and spicy. Unfortltnately, they're a bit diffi- cult to make properly, but they're well worth the bother. So here are some hints on their making, together with a really fine recipe. For tender doughnuts, remember the dough must be soft, not nearly so stiff as for bread. Plenty of floor on pastry cloth or hoard . eliminates the handling that is un-. desirable. A fat thermometer registers the right heat - 375 de- grees F. Iligher than that means doughnuts cook on the outside and not within, and lower than that means they become fat - soaked. Frying too many causes the tem- perature of the fat to drop sharply. The sour milk need in this recipe makes for extra delicacy in texture and extra richness in flavor, * SOTJR MILK DOUGHNUTS Sift together four and a half cups sifted enriched flour, a fourth tea- spoon each nutmeg and allspice and one and a half teaspoons each of soda, -cream of tartar and salt.

The way the weeks keep slipping by makes a person wonder if some- body hasn't equipped old Fattier Time with a jet-propelled engine; and although I hate to think about it, it's getting time to think about that Christmas Cake.

'Teens -Age Drivers Take Terrible Toll 'the shocking toll of death and destruction caused by 'teen-age drivers in the United States and Canada is costing time policy holders of their concern $125,000,000 a year in increased insurance rates, reports the Lumbernmen's Mutual Casualty Company. Burning up the highways in the family car or in their own souped- uP "hot rods," careless drivers be- tween the ages of I5 and 24 are killing themselves of at the rate of 7,100 a year, accounting for 27% of all traffic fatalities, actuarial fig- ures show. Appalled by this needless loss of life and destruction of property, the company has sponsored a 16 -mm. motion pfetnre on "teenacide" en- titled 'Last Date," which they hope will make the younger set pause and think when; at the wheel of a car. This film teils the story of a pretty High School girl and her two boy friends, Larry is a nice guy, but he obeys the rules of the road aid, conserlucnlly, is not an exciting driver, thinks vivacious Jeanne. She goes off for an in- between -dance joy ride in Nick's souped -up hot rod and disaster crashhmiy meets them on the road. Nick and 'an innocent family ares wiped out in the screech of tortured metal. Knife-like shards of glass mala a horror of Jeanne's beauty, ensuring that this was truly her East Date. The Benograph Division of Associated Screen News recently made arrangements with the spon- sors of the film to handle it through CV CHILDREN SHOULD BE SEEN -NOT HURT their lilnm libraries in Vancouver, 'Winnipeg, Toronto, Montreal and Moncton. Any Canadian educational or re- ligious groups, clubs, associations and youth organizations interested in the vital problem of the 'teen- age driver ran obtain a print of Last Date free for showing through their nearest Benograph fila library. Modern " lOItiq s" Really . Big Business .fir. Yon fond of antiques? Are you One of the great army of folk who ars always on the look- out for something old and rare and et a bargain price? If so, le - ware of fakes. One of the biggest rackets today eaters for the .t e ceptibilftics of people like you, whether it be for big or small money, This is not an indictment of sou- venir purveyors in general, but read on and pull understand the need for caution. Not unnaturally tourists in a for- eign country are particularly sus- ceptible to the activities of fakers. Travellers to Italy, for instance. are occasionally victimised in this way. The visitor is shown sonic small bronze object which the tout declares has been slug up in the grounds of a fatuous villa. If only the seller could get the precious article out of the country, he is told, he would certainly get a fine price for it, but the law of Italy forbids the export of art treasures without a licence. Therefore the Italian will have to make a great sacrifice and sell the treasure to a stranger for a ridiculous price. The stranger can smuggle the treasure through the Customs with ease and will he assured of a sub- stantial return for 'tate petty price asked by the Italian. Lore of a bargain has tempted many a visitor to pay in these cir- cunmstatices a fancy price for a modern antique, "Old" silver is a favourite field - of the faker. Here the hallmark is the secret of a good sale. An un- important yet antique article of sil- ver with a hallmark upon it is ob- tained and the mark is cut out and brazed on to a more substantial article w Well may have been made only a fete. weeks previously. MADE BY HAND I(rsult is the sale at a high price of some silver "antique" which is really a comparatively wort4lc s modern article. Sometimes it it is difficult to know where honest imitation ends and forgery begins. The Victorian glass paper weight is a good example, Years ago, when glass factories worked by hand labour, the work- men used up the remnants of glass by malting ornamental paper freights in their spare time which contained all sorts of coloured sil- houettes -flowers, butterflies, leaves, With „,,,,,the change in factory methods this craft has entirely dis- appeared, so the paper weights have acquired substantial value. Consequently, factories in Czecho- slovakia started making copies which are sometilues offered in cer- tain shops in Britain and its Anicric4f as originals. In all countries but more espeole ally in Italy, many people deliboJ°" ately ollow the monotonous °ccapa:, tion of professional copyist, often: passing the whole of their lives in multiplying copies, of two of three famous works of art. In Florence there used to be seen regularly at his post an old man, who for about sixty years had done nothing but multiply almost perfect copies of the painting, "Madonna della Seggiola." Nowadays such copies can easily be detected by the spectroscope which reveals the age of the paint mused, but even so, each imitations are still bought by shady, dealers, who go to great lengths to get their spurious Wares on the market. SLEEPING CUPID Somethnes a whole house of fur- niture is bought up privately. Later an auctioneer is instructed to hold a sale on the premi>r, and does so without suspecting that a seise stantial proportion of f:a•,,,1 pi 'tures and antique articles have been "salted in" to he sold und,r cover of the genuine lots. These fakes ars in distinguished. company, for even the great Michelangelo, most famous sculptor of all time, started his carter with "ancient" work. He sculp.ured a sleeping cupid in the style of the antique, and, having broken off one of its arms, buried time disfigured statue in a place where it ivae soon likely to he discovered. When found it was hailed as one of the most admirable relics of antiquity that had ever been pro- duced. All the critics and experts were unanimous .on this point, and the beautiful "antique" was bought by the Cardinal San Giorgio, to whom the artist confessed, proving his statement by producing the missing arum. - Sound idea: Because he is deaf in one ear a Swedish farmer has ap- plied for a radio licence at half price.
