HomeMy WebLinkAboutZurich Herald, 1952-01-03, Page 2Is there ever any excuse to elope? One distracted' girl thinks so. She has fallen in love. And her mother, who objected to every boy friend she bad, . is furious, "We know she'll never let us marry," the girl writes. "Would it be wrong to run away?" It is proper for parents to be careful whom their daughters date. But some mothers are so un- reasonably strict that they practic- ally drive a girl to drastic action. NO SOCIAL LIFE I learned that my mother made the girl continues, "Never did 1 date a boy who pleased my mother. She .. was not kind even to my girl friends.

Sun Is Heading For ,Itisaster According to the astronomers of Mount Palomar, California, where the giant 200 -inch Palomar tele- scope is scanning the heavens, the sun is rushing through space at the rate of at least 150,000 miles an hour, towards the star Vega in t, the covtstellation of Lerea. ' ' Ini<iginaton fails before the pic- ture of this enormoes flaming ball, 93,000,000 miles away from the earth, hurtling through space with its planets -of which our earth is one -spinning and whirling round it. Whether it will ever reach the star Vega is not certain -for Vega and the sun are 210 billion miles apart. A lot can happen in the interior -and it is unlikely to affect people who are alive today. The problem of centuries has been to account for the seeming constancy of the sun while it is dissipating its colossal energy. 'How can the sun maintain its temperature and its size while it is burning • away day and night? It seems that Professor Albert Einstein has provided the answer. The sun is not really conserving its size and weight. In its furnaces natter is being transformed into energy. Knowing approximately the total energy ra- diated by the sun, we find that four and a half million tons of matter in the sun must be annihil- ated each second, This looks like solar suicide. But so innzen'se is the sun that even this holocaust could continue for ten thousand million years before the sun would lose one -thousandth part of its present weight! CROSSWORD PUZZLE ACROSS 2.

Christmas, we know, has. a dif- ferent meaning to different people and, as with many other things in life, it is what we make it. The choice is our own. As Christmas is so will. our memories be, of this and of, every Christmas, Yesterday there was a Santa Clause parade in our small town and don't think it was only the children who enjoyed itl Unfortu- nately I was unable to get down to see the actual, parade but an hour later 1 felt its influence. It was there in the happy, laughing faces of the children; it was in Mother's voice as she shared young Tommy's enthusiasm. It was there in Daddy's hear,v late h as 1- car- ried the littlest one home on his shoulder and parried the curious questions of Miss Eight-year-old. It was in the stores -behind the counter and in front of it. It was • in the policeman's good-humoured Irish grin. It was behind the post office wicket, and at every service it flowed as freely as the gas from the pumps. People jostled each other gt 1 -humour edly along the s';lewallk or stood talking in little groups. Nobody 'red, nobody minded waiting in the crowded stores -This was the children's day ... and the grown-ups enjoyed it! .As 1 write the weather is not a bit like Christmas but of course, before this column gets into print the whole countryside may be blanketed in snow three feet. deep. One way or another it doesn't really matter, imagination makes up for the weatherman's vagaries. Christmas carols ring out Just as cheerily whether we walk in mud or • in snow. Neither wind nor storm can silence our Christmas carols nor destroy the message of hope that began long years ago with the Christ -child's birth. Even in Soviet Russia where Christmas celebrations are forbidden one can be reasonably sure that well -loved Christmas carols are still silently sung in the hearts of the oppressed. Christmas 'carols have always been a source of comfort and hope -'even to the Huron Indians whet would gather together to sing hymns to the Christ -child, after first building a chapel of cedar and fir to honour the Infant Jesus. The first Christmas carol ever sung in Old Canada was probably that written in the 'Huron Lan- guage by Father de Breboeuf. It. was written in simple language that it might be easily understood by the Huron Indians, its beauty lies in its simplicity. Here is the. hymn, It is called ".l'esous Abe.- tozlhia (Jesus is Born). 'Brand Of Old Music - Leaning against the shop of a musical instrument maker in Greenwich Village, Oscar Brand, singer of folk songs, strums lazy melodies from a 17th century Theorbo guitar.

Veal should always be,,, cooked at low temperature and, as it zs somewhat dry, additional moisture is needed, Of course certain parts of veal are 'delicious when roasted. A leg, rump, shoulder 'or rib cut may be cooked in this manner; but, because veal has so little fat on it, the fla- vor of the roast will 'be improved if a strip of salt pork or bacon is laid on top during the cooking. Cook uncovered at 300" F. until tender. Braising brings out veal's natural delicate flavor perhaps better than any other method of cooking, and stuffed birds, breast, veal, breaded chops, steak with mushrooms. etc., are delicious when braised and baked or simmered. A veal -stretching dish that can be cooked in a short time and is so unusual that friends will ask you to repeat it when they come again is made with sour cream. A tossed salad with a tart dressing goes well with this dish. VEAL WITH SOUR CREAM 2 pounds veal cutlet`• 3 small onions pound mushrooms caps, cut in pieces 1 ripe tomato, peeled °`.•' Salt and pepper pint sour cream .Butter or margarine Have butcher remove bone and fat and separate cutlets at the membranes. Melt butter in iron pot. Pound meat, season, and brown in pot. Add onions, mush- room caps, and tomato. Cook for a few minutes and add sour cream. Cook about two minutes more. Serve. •with hot, cooked rice or noodles. Chicken may be substitut- ed for veal, * * * Almost. everyone likes a short- cake, especially if the biscuit or corn Muffin used is a clelicat' gold- en brown' and crisp. A veal short- cake with peas is quickly made and highly tempting to look at. You can make the biscuits fresh or use thoso left from last night's• dinner. VEAL SHORTCAKE 1 small onion chopped (about 1/4 cup) 1 tablespoon butter or margar- ine • 1 can condensed cream of celery soup 1 cup diced, :cooked veal 1 cup cooked peas, drained cup milk. 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 6 hot biscuits or corn meal muf- fins, split and buttered Brown onion lightly in butter in skillet, Add soup, veal, peas, milk, and Worcestershire sauce; simmer over low heat 10 minutes. Place bottom halves of biscuits on plat- ter, pour part of veal mixture over each, place tops of biscuits on mix- ture in shortcake fashion and pour remaining veal mixture over. Garn- ish with sprigs of parsley or strips of pimiento. * :k Some people who do 'not like the unfamiliar seasoning 'of for- eign dishes, enjoy the Canadian- ized version of these same dishes. Scallopini is one of the most fa - nous Italian dishes and its modi- fied version makes an ideal center dish for Sunday evening suppers or other informal meals.
