HomeMy WebLinkAboutZurich Herald, 1947-01-30, Page 3CHRONIDLE OF GINGER FARM By Gwendoline P. Clarke More than once throughets the 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 Mack door 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 en 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 talldng — and perhaps more, work, reading or sewing. * * * Another weather' ' Contp'lication bas been car trouble: We have had • our- shire• of that too. One night Bob ''was on liis way home when bis- car "seized up"—it was very 'cold—and he had a nice little walk sof .some five mile's or so. Then our fold 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 " so -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 ''forgot—each of us still has a Couple of feet. In this age of Enechanisnl one is apt to forget such minor details. * * As far as hydro is concerned we have been fortunate. Of course there has been a good deal of light dickering and also temporary black- outs. In fact they were so temporary that usually by the time we had finished running around for candles the lights would be on again. It dust have been pretty bad around }Iamilton 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 him. Imagine *nilking 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 do 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 seen to manage. A great shortage of coupons is my chief worry. I should like a nice warm coat but that would be 18 coupons and I simply haven't got thein so I wear an extra cardigan or two tinder 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 any piece of mind. I immediately packed tip a coat, some knitted gloves and warn un- derwear and sent it away. Of coarse 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 bttt she would have been obliged to surrender some of her precious 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 After. The mother is partly para- lyzed and, because there is no one she can get to look after her, my raster -in-law has to lock her in the (louse when she goes shopping -- and then has to queue up to get What she Wants to buy..

Why there should be a question to it is be- yond me, but seemingly there is. It all started at a friend's house, the other pen. 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 dohs a bow tie except the wearer. Frank Sinatra brought in 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 d 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 come 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 hint to take his gal out more 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 (and, brother, some of those gals can really eat). While we were discussing ways ' and means of getting rich in a hurry, without bloodshed, another friend came along. The third fel- low came out with an idea we have already put to practice. IIe and his ,nate spend a lot of time taking pictures. In fact, they both chip in and buy 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- tures 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 on a week- 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 soxers. . Cluny 'Brown: Taken from the book by Margery Sharpe, Jennifer Jones trying comedy for the first time. Real entertainment with sup- porting cast of Charles Boyer, Peter Lawford and Reginald Gar- diner. The Jolson Story — A superb technicoloretreatment of the "Mam- my" singer's career with newcomer Larry Parks and favourites such as' Evelyn Keyes and William De - merest. 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 Lombardo's and Xavier Cugat's orch estras, * * 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 from you guys and gals out there. Until then, all we can think of to say is: Eat right, sleep right and you'll last longer. It's Different—Served • With St ing seteeiee 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 meat variation. The stuffing adds extra flavor and glani- prizes 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, pork or veal • salt and pepper 1 recipe Bran Stuffing 1.egg 1 tablespoon water 3 cups corn flakes 3 tablespoons fat Slit chops through the middle -to -form. a pocket. Season inside .with salt and pepper. Fill with stuffing and fasten opening with skewers or sew together with coarse string, Beat egg slightly and n,ix 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 f teaspoon • salt %. cup bran 1/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning 1 tablespoon minced onion %s teaspoon pepper 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 1946 toppled all records, including the strife -torn post-war year of 1919, 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 -- 32 times the strike -idleness in the same period of 1945 and nearly 14 tithes. that, of the first 11 months 'of the war year, 1944. The Bureau also reported that weekly earnings in manufacturing industries in November averaged e45.65—about $5 more a week than in November, 1945, although the work week was about one hour shorter than 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 Gr ►>I ndo To Be War Memorial One of the finest war memorials in Britain leas 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 footballgrounds will be pro- vided and a cricket pitch, as big as that at Lords in London, where county matches will be played.
