Some of it was the weather, some of it was they. Our tail has been unattractive to the denizens of the wild, and the deer have delayed the usual Seasonal maneuvering which makes them available. These three fellers hadn't seen a thing, and sine they were obviously Of a mind that game is the pri- inary objective of a hunting trip, they were disappointed that no trophies adorned the top of their truck as they started home, But there was more than this. Their conversation revealed that they really didn't know. much about the woods, and had been "recreationing" in an ad lib man - her, . The y had slept cold, and found it a task to get dry wood, and didn't eat too well, and what with this and that had endured e wretched week on the grounds behat bringing home a deer would recompense. Now that they faced their back -home friends with nothing to 'show, life was drear, 'So, they had loaded their gear on the truck and had come off the mountain, They balanced across the log bridges, dodged the blowdowns and washouts, and arrived at a road which took them to the first town, There they got pavement, and they turned on the speed, Unluckily, the rough going on the woods road had caused their handbrake to jump an unneeded notch, and when they sped up friction set in. When they overtook us at Toothaker Corner they looked IFOR RABBIT PICTURES Hareline sharpness is guaran- teed by this newsman's cem- ittra in London, Englond. Bun- shies are residents of London's Crystal Palace Zoo, es like a jet aflame, and gave off a rich flavor of hot metal., But in about three hundred yards they looked as if a Fourth of July pyrotechnioal display had been set off under their rack and pinion, and they pulled up. and stopped, When we arrived they had jumped out and were trotting around. Remote as the situation was, three other auto- mobiles pulled up, and added to the trotting around, Nobody had an extinguisher. There was no water handy, no snow yet, and the gravel on the shoulder• was frozen, It looked like a hot sup- per for the truck, But in the excitement a calm voice was heard. Gus Garcelon, who was with us,• said, "Any- body got a bottle of body -pop?" It sounded as if Gus wanted to go over and sit .on a rock, perhaps break out a good sand- wich, and refresh himself while the excitement prevailed, His re- mark ' suggested toasting of marshmallows and group singing of roundelays in the warmth of • a campfire. "I mean it," he yelled. "Who's got some ginger ale, or grape Body, or orange?" Well, one of the automobiles had been to ,of for the weekly grocery order, and a lanky woods' character in a red coat reached into his back seat back seatand n d brought out a six- pack of what we in Maine col- loquially refer to as "tonic," Gus grabbed a bottle, shook it vio- lently to - animate the carbona- tion, stuck the bottle under the truck's bumper to rill off the cap, and then put his thumb over the mouth. He rolled under the running board, and directed the squirting soda -pop at the hot spot. In an instant the flames subsided, the hot metal cooled, and a magnificent aroma. of stewed strawberries wafted about the scene. The fire was out, Gus rolled back out and said, "That's even: bettern lemon and lime" The three fellers, who shortly began telling of their unhappy week in the woods, spoke of the fire as the capstone of their mis- ery. This, they felt, was the last straw, Expecting to roll home to the jeers of their friends, for want of game to prove their ad- venture stories, they had sud- denly been faced with the un- speakable ignominy of coming back from Maine without even their truck, their gear gone, and even their three lovely Christ- mas trees destroyed in the final, and ultimate unhappiness. They pumped Gus's hand until his cap visor flapped up and down. They also said they felt they ought to pay for the bottle of strawberry soda, but the woods- man said money was no good up on the North Branch, where he was going, and if they gave him five hundred dollars he still couldn't buy strawberry sody-pop in Township Six Range Twelve. "Tell you what you do," he said. "Stop into Small's store and buy a bottle, and tell Bauer to keep it for me next time I'm out. And be a good idea if you get a case for yourself, that brake may heat up again before you get to New Jersey." He turned to Gus and said, "1 kind -a like that straw- berry smell, but I'll bet any- body could have a real good tirr.e with some five -fruit!" Gus said, "I used lemon and lime once on an oil burner down to Lincolnville, but I think that strawberry has got it beat," Anyway, we drove along and left the three fellers thinking about it, and at least they had one smallish thing to tell about when they got home. Keep a bottle of sarsaparilla in the glove compartment, you never know when you'll chance upon a fire. -By John Gould in the Chris- tian Science Monitor.

Dr, E, A, M, (Ed) Asselbergs, head of the Plant Research In= stitute unit which has success- fully produced this line of pre- cooked instant foods, doesn't know where it will stop, 4, + + He has been told that licences for the manufacture of the first discovery -now known as pota- to crystals -have been taken out by half a dozen leading food pro- cessors ,in Canada and abroad, The new products are similarly made, the moisture being remov- ed by steam -heated drums, and similarly reconstituted, by add- ing milk or water. The food pro- cessing laboratory has now de- veloped the following instant - cooked foods: mashed potatoes, fish -potato, beef -potato, pork - potato, lannb - potato, chicken - potato, cheese -potato, turnip and pumpkin. These lightweight pre-cooked meals can be stockpiled for emer- gency use, or kept indefinitely in thekitchen cupboard. They can be converted into a hot meal in a few minutes or, if necessary, eaten dry without any other pre- paration. The new products are therefore, expected to -be of ad- vantage to the ordinary consum- er, to institutions and to coun- tries interested in setting up food banks. * 4, In March this year Agriculture Minister Alvin Hamilton had commended Dr. Asselbergs' work on instant mashed potatoes which enabled the federal gov- ernment to open this new field of convenience foods to Canadian manufacturers by making licen- ces for the Asselbergs process available. Dr. Asselbergs had pre- viously led a research team to the discovery of infrared heat as a means of blanching fruits and vegetables preparatory to freez- ing and canning. Licences for manufacturing the new food products will be pro- tected by the Public Servants Inventions Apt. It is expected that licences will be sought as theproducts can be made with the same equipment now being built for the manufacture of potato crystals. * + + Dr. Asselbergs has seen many taste panels smack their lips In appreciation of the new food lines his unit has, put out. It has been established that there is virtually no loss of the nutritional value of the food' in the' processing -other than the normal loss through any form of cooking, But he says that it is up to+ehe commercial food firms to evaluate the selling quality of the products and they will de- cide such matters as spicing, ad- ditives and packaging. He sees no reason, with the trend to "con- venience food," why the whole line of new products should not gain popular acceptance leading to construction of processing plants with their opportunities for employment and greater sale of farm products, Asked if he had exhausted the line of instant precooked foods, Dr. Asselbergs shook his Head but offered no clue as to his next effort, In his work to date, he said, he had Chosen foods with a ISSUE 52 - 1901 minimum of oil content. He gave some details on each of the new products, Fish.- the species used were the saltwater hake, cod and pol- lock and the freshwater white- fish. Only, fillets are used. These are cooked and comminuted -. that is finely ground -in order to incorporate the pin bones into the puree which is passed through a mesh, mixed with mashed potatoes and dried in 20 second. The pin bones cannot be removed from the fillet, by prac- tical means but their presence in comminuted form, adds to the cal- cium content of the mix, Meats - The beef cuts, minus bones, are ground up, mixed with the mashed potatoes and passed between the steamheated drums for simultaneous cooking and drying. The same system is applied to lamb and pork meats. Chicken is cooked sufficiently to enable the bones to be extracted and the meat is then ground, mixed and drum dried. The in- stant potato and meat mixes make excellent croquets and cas- serole dishes. Cheese - Medium cheddar cheese is ground and then mixed, one part to three parts of mash- ed potatoes, for drum drying. The drying removes the moisture con- tent, generally 30 per cent, from the cheese. The dry mix rehy- drates instantly in cold or hot milk or water and has a nice creamy 'texture. It makes an ex- cellent cheese casserole or sauce. Turnip - The Laurentian -va- riety grown in Ontario and New Brunswick was found quite suit- able for processing, Turnips are peeled, sliced, cooked, pureed and put through a mesh before drum drying. Pumpkin -Pumpkins are sim- ilarly treated but because of the high water content require long- er to process. * * * The costs of manufacturing the new foods was low and the same equipment, the steam heated drum drier, was used through- out, Variations in reponstitution of the food are possible, the Assel- bergs produet being the basic pre- cooked dehydrated food ready for instant use, 4' 4' * Dr. Asselbergs joined the Re- search Branch of the Canada De, pertinent of Agriculture in 1954 with degrees from unversities in Holland, Canada and United States. He has a photograph of himself as a boy working at his parents' bakery in holland - proof of an early interest in cooking. He feels that his present work is fulfilling the prognostication of a leading Canadian food pro- cessor who forecast that 57 per cent of the housewife's food ex- penses would in a few years be spent on items then unknown, The tremendous increase in popularity in the United States of frozen french fries, canned potatoes, potato flakes and gran- ules, diced potatoes and other dehydrated forms are proof of the forecast trend. * + * The kind of fuel a tractor burns may be a key factor in deciding what type of tractor to buy, In that case, the economy of the machine can be arrived at by con- sidering on- e the si i r•in g i n amount of work it will be required to do and also the cost of the fuel it uses, + + + J. L Thompson son the of t e Calrada Department of Agriculture's ex- perimental farm at Swift Cur- rent, Sask„ compared three kinds of fuel on the basis of 500 and ' 1,000 hours of work a year and prices of 25 cents a gallon for gasoline, 21 for diesel oil, and 17 for propane gas (all before taxes). + + M The diesel tractor gave the cheapest power when used for 500 hours or more. The gasoline tractor was slight- ly more economical than the propane type over 500 hours, but slightly less economical over 1,000 hours. If propane gas is be- ing used by the tractor purchas- er for heating and cooking, the bulk price of this fuel may make it more economical than gaso- line, * +, * A tractor built at the factory for propane fuel, costs about $300 more than a comparable gasoline model and proper con- version from gasoline to propane costs more than $300. Other disadvantages are: ex- pensive storage tanks; special pumps and hoses needed on the farm; the compression ratios of 10:1 or more required, and the fact that bodily contact with pro- pane is more dangerous than with other fuels. Advantages reported are: less engine wear, longer per- iods between oil changes and little trouble with gum or car- bon deposits. + + Publication 1040 "Compari- son of Power Costs of Tractors" gives more information about tractor power costs. Copies can be obtained free from the Infor- mation Division, Canada Depart- ment of Agriculture, Ottawa, or the nearest experimental Farm. A long face and a broad mind are seldom under the same hat. Upsidedown to Prevent Peeking NDAYSQi001 JLESSON By Rev, iii. Barclay Warren B.A., B.D. Laws for Living Exodus 2 34:1-51 Matthew 5:17-22 Memory Selection; Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets; I am not come to destroy but to fulfill. Matthew 5:17, For this quarter we shall study. "Jesus and the Ten Com- mandments," T h e command- ments were given by G o d through Moses, In the example and teaching of Jesus we dis- cover the full implication of these commands. We shall gain new insights about true worship, personal morality and social re- sponsibility. Today's lesson is In- troductory to the entire unit. The law is timeless, Jesus said, "Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be ful- filled." The law is universal. God's perfect nature conceived and created a universe with a perfect system of order, harmony, rhythm and balance, The Ten Commandments show the order in the .moral part of God's uni- verse. There is a pattern of law that is woven into life that keeps trying to show us that God's way is the natural normal way to live. Behind the problems and heart- aches of today's news you will almost find that someone some- where was living contrary to one or more of the Ten Command- ments -trying to live against the natural grain of things. Sinful fallen man does .not have the strength to keep' God's holy law. An adulterer said, "I can't help it." A father rebuked his 14 -year-old step -son for his addiction to the narcotic drug, nicotine. Ile pointed out the cost. He said, "Stop it now when you can. Look at ins, 1 would like to stop it, but I can't." The son was not impressed by the confession of such weakness. A quarrel led to very serious consequences. What weaklings men are! There is a way of deliverance from all sin. Confess it and find forgiveness through faith in Jesus Christ. Those who believe on Him receive power to become the sons of God. Sin shall not have dominion over them. Then we shall love God and our fellow- men and rejoice to keep God's Commandments, PALM TREAT -Wood sculp- tor Melvin Freitas puts finish- ing touches to his Polynesian Tiki-God on a city -owned palm tree in Long Beach.
