HomeMy WebLinkAboutZurich Herald, 1952-03-20, Page 6Pruning Fruit Trees Pruning and dormant spraying of fruit trees should be completed within the next month or so. They sire inescapable for every fruit tree. While pruning is being done, suck- er growth should be cut out. These tall, thin stents that shoot straight up from the branches into the cen- ter of a tree should be cut off clean. They are most likely to ap- pear on plum, cherry and old apple trees. Suckers or water sprouts sever bear fruit. This is a good time to feed any fruit tree that has been planted a year or longer. A complete bal- anced fertilizer may be scattered on the ground under the tree at the rate of one pound for every year a growth up to fifteen. Young trees should be protected with cylinders of wire mesh or guards before spring brings hungry rab- bits to nibble at the bark. Wonderful Idea! tet iiiW112120.L Wrap and tiel Easy as pie!

Is it proper to send a birth- day greeting card to a member of a bereaved family shortly after the death has occurred? A. Yes, any thoughtfulness of this kind is never improper. How- ever, the card should not be of the frivolous type, nor should it wish "a happy birthday." A "think- ing of you on your birthday" card would be appropriate. Q. Is it proper for a married woman to use her maiden name as a middle name after she is married? A. Yes, this is the established custom. In other words, Dorothy Ruth Smith marries John Henry Jones, and she then becomes Dorothy Smith Jones. Q. Should the word "dear" be capitalized in the salutation of a letter, as, "My Dear Mrs. Jones?" No; it is written, "My dear Mrs. Jones." Q. What are suitable materials for the wedding gown at an in- formal spring or summer wedding? A. Organdy, batiste, pique or white cotton net are suitable. A short veil can be worn, or a small cap, lace handkerchief or picture hat. Crepe, linen or cotton shoes are worn, either white or the same color as the dress. Gloves are not necessary. If the wedding to to be outdoors, garden flowers make a suitable bouquet. Q. SVhen cheese is served with apple pie, should it be eaten with the fork or the fingers? A. Usually it's more convenient to eat it -with the fork. But it's not improper to pick it up with the fingers if you choose. Q. What should a person do when he has completed introducing twa persons? A. He should try immediately to draw the two new acquaintances into conversation, Q. What is the proper way to eat bread at the table? A. It should be broken into con- venient sized pieces and each piece is buttered separately. Small pieces of the crust may be used to assist in getting bits of food from the plate onto the fork. Q. Is it ever permissible for a woman to place her purse and gloves on the restaurant table while eating? A. Never; she should keep these articles in her lap. Q. How long before the schedul- ed time of the wedding, should the ushers appear at the church? A. They should be on hand at least an hour beforehand. It is part of their duty to welcome the guests and conduct them to their seats. Q. How much room should be allowed for each guest at a dinner table? A. A space of front 16 to 20-a inches. This is called the "cover," o and each cover should be definitely:; marked with a service plate. IT'S A DIG! A man's extremely jealous wife threatened him on her death -bed; "Now Robert, if when I die, you should start chasing other women, I'll dig myself up from the grave and haunt you." The man was very resourceful; he buried her face down, "Dig," he said. C °SWORD PUZZLE ACROSS 3. By way o1 4. hatend a. oubcription 8. Chop 12. Something sent with a letter 14. Playing card 15.

What snakes me wonder is this: All last week I had been hearing harrowing details by radio' of the outbreak of foot and mouth di- sease. Of course it worried' rue to think of the dire consequences to the unfortunate farmers' in., the af- fected area. But it wasn't,',iintil I saw pictures in the papers that 'the it affected the cattle, really hit full 'realization of the tragedy, as me. There was the: -huge pit; the poor diseased cattle standing there, unknowingly w a 4 tin g for the slaughter, That really got me down. Arid yet, since they had to be killed, how better coiii4it be done? Being herded to ;ter.; would not frighten life po• " beasts" because range cattle are iised to being run into corrals and herded together in just that way. It was just the expression in their limpid trusting eyes that got' uce • down. • Foot. and mouth disease> .'is a major disaster .'for., Canada -.-and it will be a little while yet before we know to what extent +t will affect national economy: The other night Daughter Intoned and she was in quite a way' about it, partly because it is in the arca where we lived when we were out on the prairie. One thing we do know, the people out West will take this disaster in their stride as they have taken .others - drought, floods, grasshoppers and -.rearly fr 'st. ' Except for all this bad news it has been a wonderful week -more -continuous sunshine than we haiie bad all . winter. Which helped the a" lot because I was experiencing a few troubles of my own.'A, cold for onething, and then I left the lights on in the car and ran the battery down so completely the car wouldn't start at all --just when I specially wanted it, of course. Answering fan mail has also kept ane pretty busy.' Not in con- nection with this column but as a result of a recent article in the Family herald and Weekly Star. Yesterday, to get away from it all. Bob, took ns over to see the Ford • plant near Oakville. That' served two purposes -it gave us a bit of an outing and recharged the car battery, \Vlmen we got borne Partner and I were both so happy in the realiz- ation that our farm 1S in a quieter part of the country, 'Thank heaven industrial expansion has not yet caught up with • us. But since we live on a Queen's Highway there is no telling how soon that day 'will co lie, It was strange looking around the Oakville district. Residential Oakville has always been so very exclusive, so that flow it seems to be entirely out of character. •No doubt some of the older residents are pretty sick about it; . There was not much to "see at the ford Plant --except large areas of good, arable farm, land- laid waste where huge.. shovels and bulldozers had been in operation. ;Activities have • been tern.poratily suspended. 'We passed the :it2cKendrick farm where the shell of the old alfalfa processing plant stood like a ghost of the past -but a comparatiVeiy recent past, For a year or twa this s plant gathered np surplus alfalfa from the farmers .or miles around, and thea dried and ground the alfalfa into meal which was then shipped for export. It was a new "To be quite honest, you're.a fool for even wanting to know it!" venture and showed great promise but failing export prices and win- ter killing of alfalfa changed the picture. We wandered if at any • time this industry would be re- vived. We also passed the King Paving Plant where all kinds of heavy road equipment stood ready and begin again their work of ... provemeut or destruction, depend- ing on how you look at it, We passed a farm where a new combine was sitting out in the field --no doubt it had been there all winter. Few farms have facili- ties for housing oversized equip- ment. We noticed a small house, crying out for a coat of paint -- with a television aerial that practi- cally covered the roof. We carne back to Ginger Farm. -and here, too, we saw things that needed fixing -unfinished improve- ments left over from last fall; painting to be done; wood to be gathered -but thank goodness, it is still our home in the country. Save Yourself Steps, Fatigue Disorder, poor equipment and improper use of equipment cause many kitchen accidents, reports Alberta department - of agriculture hone specialists. Others are caus- ed by fatigue. When a person is tired, things go wrong. IIaads fumble, feet trip and eyes fail to see the possible danger. The bureau of human nutrition and home economics planned and -built a kitchen to show homenrak- ers how to eliminate fatigue haz- ards. The kitchen is well equipped, arranged and lighted. .Extra steps. stoops and reaches which contrib- ute to fatigue are eliminated. In the bureau 'kitchen every- thing is kept as near as possible to, the place it is used most. If certain equipment is used in more than one part of the kitchen it is duplicated at each centre to save steps. Paring knives are near the sink. Vegetable knives, measuring spoons and cups are near the mix centre, Pan lids and serving dish- es are near the stove, Pull-out shelves that may be lased for st-down jobs, a wheeled table that carries 1levy loads to the dining room, and counters 00 one level so that things may be slid along instead -OfH lifted are all features of this well -planned kit- chen.

Within a fortnight she had not only proved her kinship to the I{ing, but had. discovered she was related to twenty noble families, two of which • were' traced back through the Norman Conquest to link her descent from the Emperor Charlemagne, Eagerly Miss Watson bought an illuminated script of her family tree and ordered oil paintings on wood of the coats of arms of the Watsons. Like 80,000 other over- seas visitors last year, she was a satisfied customer of Britain's queerest export trade, the traffic in ancestors. At the offices of the Society of Genealogists, in Bloomsbury, anyone can thumb through a card index of 3,000,000 families for little. more than the price of a Cana dlan movie ticket. For a fee of two guineas a day skilled experts are available, adept in reading crabbed handwriting and archaic script, ready to probe the roots of a family through 11,000 parish registers anti over 30,000 volumes of history. A Boston business marl was hay- ing snob trouble with neighbours who boasted kinship with George Washington. A member of the Soc- iety of Genealogists solved his prob- lem by proving his own descent from a much more ancient ancestor, a boy who sailed with the Pilgrim - Fathers on • the Mayflower. The Boston client was so delighted that he doubled his fees. In Tennessee a librarian named 'Wallace Jones.discovered that Lady Codiva was his great (29 times) grandmother. He was so proud that he spent over $5,000 to travel to Coventry and pay homage at her statue. Then John Shakespeare Hart, of Illinois, went to England to trace his link with William Shakespeare. Within ten days, so efficient are the ancestor hounds, he found himself shaking hands with his distant cousin, Harold Hart, a West 'Wycombe engineer whose great (9 times) grandmother was the playright's sister. Nor was 'this all. He even learn- ed that he could claim family ties with the Queen, who is descended from Shakespeare's great-great- great-grandnlotherI No• wonder there's a brisk mail order business in family trees• an ; a certainty that ancestors offer. value for money. Only one Englishman in 10,000 knows his pedigree. One American in -120, however, cherishes a family tree. And, by the way, do you know that some of your ancestors are now baptized Mormons? The .are -spend enormous , Sams:in the ancestor trade, for their'Church in- - sists that all Mormon ancestors should be baptized by proxy. Hard at work in Edinburgh at present, a Utah searcher is methodically combing through 3,500 Scottish parish registers.
