Like it or not we have to take what comes, so we may as well make the bestof it. Now it has turned cold again 1 atm glad I did What I did last week, Oh no, it tdasn't a big, job of house- cleaning or anything like that. ft was nothing: more or less than a round of gadding! In fact I believe I was out somewhere every day last week—and sometimes twice, ail ex- eept Saturday. And. that is some- thing unusual for me. And while gadding doesn't help the work along at the time, I believe it does helpone to shake off a sort of lethargy that comes with staying at home too much. Anyway, here 1 am again, all set for a good week's work, so I haven't quite reached the stage complained of by a friend of' ours' who said—"Scents to me 1 can't work and run around as well, so I guess I'll have to quit work." One thing I like about gadding is the contacts one makes. I did so . enjoy meeting a lady the outer day, who, for ten years, has been work- ing on an historical research pro- ject. To my way of .thinking history is about the most absorbing and. fascinating study there is: I love to dig up facts concerning the 'early pioneer days in Canada, and ‘so, with very little encouragement I was soon off on that track again. The trouble is it takes up so much time. Taunting through some old press clippings afterwards I made a discovery about our own farm which T had previously overlooked, It appears that in May, 1822, the early settlers in this district -all of them Scotsmen -arranged to meet on the trail by Lot 2, Concession 3—which is this farm, but.before it was a farm. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the advisa- bility of starting some kind of ilchool for the children in the dis- trict. From that meeting plans were made from which emerged the first Jog school house in this section where between 60 and 70 pupils were enrolled the first year. Many .of them had quite a distance to walk through bush country as there were no busses to pick them up Wong the road in those days!' Another interesting evening 1 load was when I was invited as pest • to a Book -of -the -Month 411— Study group. I got quite a kick out of that—just sitting back wondering what the reaction' of the group' would be towards the book under review which I had read years ago but which was unfamiliar to all but two of the group.

Lantern elides are a grand way of .acquaint; g us with parts of Canada which we may never even have a chance to visit. To finish out the week Partner and I went to see "Bills of Hone" —more beautiful scenery, this time of bonnie SFotland. And of course, there was Lassie! Saturday night Partner and I stayed hone and listened to the hockey broadcast. And what of the farm? Well, an- . other calf arrived so that means another cow to milk, The hens are still laying and our cats and dogs continue to provide us with interest and entertainment. But we are miulrs one animal that we parted with without regrets. It was a skunk that had already killed three of our Sussex hens. So Bob set four trap unfits runway and in half -an -hour the skunk was caught. It was well it didn't take any longer because I was having a. great time keeping the dogs and Joseph -Mark from doing a little investigating on their own. So far I haven't done any gadding this week but the have already received or entertained three neighbours, two insurance agents, one gentleman of the Jewish faith and five small boys looking for pigeons. Easy -To -Make Two Purpose Bag I-lere is an idea for a useful, easy-to-ntdke bag which may serve two purposes. It can be a elothee- pin bag, to hang on the line or from a belt at the waist when clothes are hung or removed from the line. It may be hung from the blanket rope in the automobile. Magazines, writ- ing equipment, make-up kit, gloves, or anything that needs to be easily accessible may be stored in it. To make the bag, a wire clothes hanger and a piece of strong cloth such as cretonne or awning cloth are the materials needed. Cut the mtateriai an inch -wider than the straight bar of the hanger and double the depth you wish the bag to be when finished, Three quarters of a yard doubled is quite satisfactory. Make a narrow heni on both long edges. Turn an inch -wide hem in one end of the cloth, fold the Ma- terial crosswise, letting the hemmed end tome to an inch and one-half below the uuhemmed. edge. Sew the sides of the bag together. Now, heti the raw edge over the bar of the hanger.

One of the greatest of all food controversies is in regard to fried chicken—southern style. There are almost as many theories regarding the proper method of preparing this succulent dish as there are about the best way to mix a mint julep. So today I thought perhaps you'd like to have a recipe guaranteed to be authentically J'sduthern"—and it has nothing to do with fried chicken, Maryland, as that entails batter and Beep fat. So here we go for: FRIED CHICKEN, SOUTHERN STYLE Select chickens of from two to two and a half pounds weight; and If you have the butcher disjoint them for you, ask him to use a knife either than the cleaver, as the lat- ter splinters the bones, leaving them uneven and unsightly. Some Southern cooks use two frying pans, one for the white meat, the other for the dark. Thus the pieces that require about the same length of cooking are grouped to- gether—the white-meated portions are done more quickly than the dark, of course. Season the chicken, including the giblets, with salt and pepper; dredge with flour. (Either roll In flour or shake in flour in a paper bag.) Melt chicken fat in two frying pans so that it's about a half-inch deep. When hot arrange the white-meated pieces in one, the dark in the other. 11 only one pan is, used, put the dark in first as they take longer to cook. Turn often, being careful not to pierce the flesh so the juice will escape. Cook from 30 to 40 minutes (depending on age and tenderness of the -birds) or till ten- der and a deep brown in color. The gravy is almost as inapor- taut as the chicken, and here again there are different schools of thought. In Tennessee they favor a brown gravy, made with water; in Alabama, a cream gravy, done . with milk. But be sure and make PIES ty, which ever style you choose. CHICKEN GRAVY For each cup of gravy, desired 'leave two tablespoons of fat in the pan together with any brown crusty portions of chicken that have droppedroff. Pour off all the fat in excess of desired amount. Blend in flour, allowing two tablespoons for the same amount of fat. Cook, stirring till flour is brown. Slowly add water or milk, one cup for each two -tablespoons of fat and flour. Cook, stirring till thickened. Boil one minute. Season to taste. e '1'o go with the chicken and gravy, nothing could be more ap- ropriate than hot buttermilk bis- cuits. And people down South de- clare that we northerners make .our biscuits ton thick and too big are not nmrh bigger than a half around. They favor biscuits that dollar—thin and crispy, brown on top and a glossy white inside. OLD SOUTH BUTTERMILK BISCUITS 2 cups sifted enriched flour 1 teaspoon salt teaspoon soda 1. teaspoon double action or 14 teaspoons of tartrate or phosphate baking, powder 4 tablespoons shortening cup or alightly more of buttermilk Method Have your oven very hot. (500 degrees F. is about. right). Sift to- gether the dry ingredients twice. Chop in the shortening with a pastry blender or two knives till the mixture resembles coarse corn meal. Add enough buttermilk to give a soft dough. Stir till the mixture forms a ball. Now turn out on a lightly floured board and knead for about thirty ' seconds, Roll to a quarter -inch in thickness and cut with a small biscuit cutter. Put on a greased baking sheet. If a glazed surface ie wanted, brush the tops with sweet milk. Bake at 500 degrees F. for about 12 minutes, or until brown. Yield; about two dozen biscuits of an inch and a half in diamter. And if, after eating this combing. tion I've described today, you should find yourself breaking out Into "You -all's" and "Honey chile's" don't blame ate, It will be that Southern influence. UNDAY CffIOi LESSON By Rev.. R. Barclay Warren Jesus Among People Of Other Races Mark 7:24-37 Golden Text:- God is no -re- apector of persons: but .in every nation he that feareth Him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with Him. Acts 10:34-35, In the first year of His ministry Jesus laboured mainly in Jerusalem and surrounding territory. Here was the magnificent temple, the center of Jewish worship, The next year he devoted particularly to Galilee, but the third year_hewent beyond the borders of his own race. When approached for help by a Greek woman from Syrophenicia he re- plied in the mood of the day, "Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it unto the dogs." But she was not deterred by the reference to the Gentile dog. She must have deliverance for her demon -possessed daughter. Her in- sistent faith was rewarded. Jesus cast out the devil. But though Jesus tested this woman's faith by speaking as his countrymen, his statement also served to bring into bolder relief his own attitude to people of other races. To this woman, to the deaf and dumb man of Decapolis and to many others he accorded the sante mercy and love that he did to the children of Abraham. llis ministry was to all. It was written into the American Constitution that "all men are born free and equal." But four" decades passed and ntucit blood was shed before the Emancipation was pro - HEADLIGHT DAZZLE A British survey attributes head- light dazzle to an incorrect align- ment of lamps rather than to failure on the part of drivers to use deflect- ing mechanisms. It was also found that low -mounted passlamps are more likely to dazzle than deflected headlights. A regulation made by the Minister of 'transport as a re- sult of the survey provided that on And after Jan, 1, 1949. a lamp mounked with its center less than two feet from the ground would not be held to comply with the Road Vehicles Lighting Regula- tions of 1936 unless the lamp were used only in fog or when snow was falling. It is proposed later to fix an upper limit of 3 feet 6 inches and a lower limit of 2 feet for head- lamps and passlamps on all cars registered for the first time on or after Jan. 1, 1951.
