HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Seaforth News, 1947-01-23, Page 7CHRONICLES OF GINGER FARM By Gwendoline P. Clarke More than once throughthe years we have been snowed in dur- ing stormy weather and were ob- liged to dig ourselves out but yes- terday we had a new'''experience- we. were frozen in And I mean just that. The back door, the side door and the front door were frozen solid to the sills. Two of them are frozen yet but the back doer finally gave way to an on- ' slaught of masculine might,: Certainly we have had a great variety of weather the last few weeks, and minor' inconveniences around here have been the order of the day. The telephone is hav- ing a partial rest. Even at that we are more fortunate than some others on party lines. We can ring Central and: thus get in touch with stores and, our friends -that is, un- less the latter happen to be on a " line which is also out of order. There are no rings coming through on our line at all but we can ring some of our neighbours quite suc- cessfully. Of course with the tele- phone more or less out of order one naturally does less talking — and perhaps more work, reading or sewing. * * * Another weather complication has been car trouble. We have had our share of that too. One night Bob was on his way home when his car "seized up"—it was very Bold—and he had a nice little walk of some five utiles or so. Then our "old .faithful" came to the rescue, carried on for a while and then it too decided a rest in the garage would be the best way to stage a no -run strike. After that the truck was called into action and filled the gap. Maybe if the truck gives out we shall be riding the roads with our steel -wheeled tractor. But I forgot—each of es still has a Couple of feet. In this age of Mechanism one is apt to forget such minor details. ' k * * As far as hydro is concerned we haven bee fortunate.. Ofour css there has been a good deal of light flickering and also temporary black- outs. In fact they were so temporary that usually by the time we bad. finished running around for candles Ile lights would be on again, It must have been pretty bad around Hamilton and Burlington districts. Naturally the more conveniences a person has and the more he is accustomed to depending on hydro the harder a power shortage, or power failure, hits hint. Imagine Milking about thirty head of cows by hand after being used to having * milking machine do it for you. I suppose it isn't possible for in- dustrial plants to ado much about it but in a private home it always strikes me as so shortsighted to have none other but electrical cook- ing units to depend on. A cook stove in winter and an oil -stove in summer can quite easily prevent domestic disaster. * * * Of course, we haven't really got very much to worry about—not if we compare our *lot with those people who are living in England. Here are extracts from letters we teceived' just recntly, From a teacher -friend who has a long walk to and from school; "Things are pretty awful here if you put it down in black and white but some- how we seem to manage. A great shortage of coupons is my chief worry. I should like a nice warns coat but that would be 18 coupons and I simply haven't got them so I wear an extra cardigan or two under my too -thin coat and make do. I was fortunate enough to get a good pair of rubber boots this winter.. I don't know what I would have done without them because I have to cross a common twice every day, not path all the way. In places I have to go over grass land which has been a positive bog or swamp all this winter. Now we have just had some very heavy snow. * • * * That letter was altogether too much for my piece of mind. I immediately packed up a coat, some knitted gloves and warm un- derwear and sent it away, 'Of course none of the stuff: was new because' that would only have brought. more trouble to my friend. Not only would there have been duty to pay but she would have been obliged to surrender some of her precioas coupons. * Partner's sister was more wor- ried about fuel and food than cloth- ing, which was only natural as she has a 90 -year-old mother to look sifter. The mother. is partly para- lyzed and, because there is no one she can get to look after her, my sister-in-law' has to lock her in the house when site goes shopping -- and and then has to queue up to get wharshe wants to buy.

It all started at a friend's house, the other p,nt. when yours truly steamed in sporting a flashy, hori- zontal cravat. The girls .all ex- claimed, "how cute', while the guys groaned and turned up their sniffers. Now as far as we are concerned, it's nobody's business who dons a bow tie except the wearer, Frank Sinatra brought i g n the vogue of bow ties when it look- ed as though they had taken after the horse and buggy. Sinatra also introduced the Windsor knot, which many of the bow hecklers use. They apparently don't know this, nor do they know that it is con- sidered very poor taste to wear a tie with a sport shirt. * * * To be honest about the whole matter, we never wore a bow tie until a few weeks ago. Susie was at the house one night and was bound that I would try out one of Junior's, just for looks. Well, me friendlies, the idea caught on, and since that we have bought three of four. There are several advan- tages to a bow tie. They are easier to put on, stay straight, feel more comfortable and if the right colour is chosen for the right get-up, they look dressy (we think). By the way, gals, while we're on the subject of the boy friends' wraps' you, too, might be interested to know that vests are going out of style and that' fewer men each year are wearing them. It seems that friend male has conte to the conclusion that a suit looks better, fits better and has more vale when a vest doesn't have to be included. * * * The other day a friend of ours came in with- that down -in -the - mouth look. It seems his allow-' ance won't allow him to take his gal out store than once every two' weeks. Out, meaning where the dishing out of the gold is con- cerned. We know only too well that it takes a lot of stuff to go to a show or a dance and then out to eat afterwards (anti, brother, some of those gals can really eat). While we were discussing ways anti means of getting rich in. a' !sorry, without bloodshed, another friend came along. The third fel- low came out with an idea we have already put to practice. Ile and his state spend a lot of time taking pictures. in fact, they both chip in andbuy a film a week, Now the angle is this gents! Photography as a hobby can be very, very expensive if you want to make it so; but an ordinary box camera can take the best of pic- fures if used properly. Over the holiday Susie and I took several rolls of pictures and even with the developing it cost little over half - a -dollar a roll. It can be real in- teresting when you have your pic- tures and start making an album. So, if you are in a rut as to what to do for entertainment n aeek- w o end, go out taking pictures. Fol- low directions carefully and pick your shots carefully and when you see the results you'll agree that it can be a lot of fun. * * * ON THE SCREEN—Listed be- " low is a review of some pictures that will be hitting your town shortly. Margie: Here is a treat for the present day teener. Starring Jeanne Crain, Glenn Langan, Lyn Bari and (Canada's) Alan Young. It's a pleasant contrast of school days, two decades ago, and the present day bobby Boxers. Cluny Brown: Taken from the book by Margery Sharpe, Jennifer Jones trying comedy for the first time. Real entertainment with sup- porting cast of Charies Boyer, Peter Lawford and Reginald Gar- diner. The Jolson Story — A superb technicolor treatment of the "Mam- my" singer's career with newcomer Larry Parks and favourites such as Evelyn Keyes and. William De - =rest. Wholesome entertainment for the family. Monsieur Beaucaire: Another Bob Hope side -splitter revamped from an oldie. Plenty of the Hope gags. No Leave, No Love: A good comedy if you don't mind silly plots. Good cast with Keenan Wynn, Van Johnson, Pat Kirk- wood, Edward Arnold, and Guy Lontbardo's and Xavier Cugat's orchestras. * •* One of our readers, a clear old lady no less, has taken us to task about t h e consideration young people have for older people and their obnoxious manners(how do you like that obnoxious?) We plan to deal with this subject next week, • fully expecting some comment in return Prom you guys and gals out there. Until then, all we ran think of to say is: Eat right, sleep right and you'll last longer. It's Different—Served With Stuffing. , Your meals will never be victims of monotony if you remember to serve one new dish each day, or to serve an old standby in a brand new way. For instance, stuffings and sauces can add interesting new slants to chops and other common meat dishes, Try stuffing pork chops next time you buy them and serve them with fried apple rings for a delicious and timely neat variation, The stuffing adds extra flavor and glam- orizes one of the simplest of meat cuts. Stuffed chops make a good company dish—and you'll be pleased to learn how little fussing is required In the making. Baked Chops with Bran Stuffing 4 double thick chops, 1 egg pork or veal 1 tablespoon water salt and pepper 3 cups corn flakes 1 recipe Bran. Stuffing 3 tablespoons fat Slit chops through the middle to form a pocket. Season inside with salt and pepper. Fill with stuffing and fasted opening with skewers or sew together with coarse string. Beat egg slightly and mix with water; roll corn flakes into fine crumbs. Dip chops in egg then in crumbs; repeat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and brown on both sides in hot fat. Cover and bake in moderate oven (350 deg. F.) about 45 minutes. Garnish with' apple slices which have been sauteed in hot fat. Yield: 4 servings. Bran Stuffing 3 cups fine soft bread crumbs % teaspoon salt %a cup bran % teaspoon poultry seasoning 1 tablespoon minced onion Ya teaspoon pepper ,A cup milk or stock Combine ingredients; mix lightly. U.S. Strike Figures Shatter All Records Time lost by strikes in the United States in the first 11 months of 1846 toppled all records, including the strife -torn post-war year of 3010, the Bureau of Labor Statis- tics reported last week. A total of 107,475,000 man -days was lost by work stoppages be- tween January and November — 3 times the strike -idleness in the sante period of 1045 and nearly 14 times that of the first 11 months ,of the. war year, 1044. The Bureau also reported that Weekly earnings in manufacturing. industries in November averaged $45.65—about $5 more a week than in November, 1045, altitougit the work week was about one hour shorter titan a year ago. Throw Them Out Of Labor Unions Throw them out, is the advice of the Windsor Star to labor unions regarding communist members. "Some honest unionists actually are inclined to tolerate communists within their ranks, in the mistaken belief that the numerical strength they contribute is an asset. They imagine that these people will give their first allegiance to the labor movement, and subjugate their red principles. If they could do that, policies just so far as it suits their they.would not be good party mem- bers. They go along with union sinister secret purpose, and then callously throw the whole ,move- ment to the wolves. There is but one way to deal with such termites. They must be ruthlessly hunted down and thrown out of the unions," Recreation Grounds To Be Warr Memorial One of the finest tear memorial's in Britain has been given to a Sussex country town by an un known man. East Grinstead, at one time in the "Battle of Britain" country and with a high civilian death roll for its size, is to have 120 acres of park land laid out as public recreation grounds.' The Garden of Remembrance will, be dedicated not only to the town's own war dead but to all who died for Britain. Among the woodlands will be a swimming pool and an open-air theatre, and in the, park football grounds will be pro- vided and a cricket pitch, as big as that at Lords in London, where county matches will be played.
