HomeMy WebLinkAboutZurich Herald, 1947-05-08, Page 6s TABLE TALKS Pressure Cooking Cooking under pressure has been practised for many years by home - Shakers throughout Canada. They have been able, in the canning sea- son, to appreciate the advantages of this method, and, since the principle involved is the same in the new smaller pressure sauce- pans, they are ready, willing and able to use them. Time is a factor of great im- portance to every homemaker since there never seem to be enough hours in a day to accom- plish all the tasks that fall on her shoulders. So, if this new method of cooking did nothing but shorten her time spent over the stove in the kitchen, it would then and there become a favorite. Since it also produces foods with good fla- vour and colour, it pleases the whole family and does something towards keeping mother less tired e,nd in good humour.

NEW TERRORISM EXPLODES IN PALESTINE British soldiers examine wreckage of a barracks that was blasted when two Jewish terrorists blew up a police station beside British headquarters in Tel Aviv, killing four British policemen and injuring five others. C GI GE By Gwendoline P. Clarke Signs of spring at Ginger Farm! One daffodil in full bloom; three stalks of asparagus twoinches high; a few clusters of rhubarb leaves; 300 chicks — minus six — running around in the brooder pen; two new calves at the barn; an almost empty coal bin; a mother robin sitting on her nest over the front door on the outside; a long black cobweb hanging from the front door on the inside; the beginning of daylight saving time—and the date on the calendar. Signs that are not of spring! At night—out of doors—one's breath is as visible as the steam from a boiling kettle; white frost on the roof tops and on the grass; thin ice on puddles and water furrows; goose flesh on one's person as one rises in the morning to put on the fires; bare trees and a cold wind blowing; and ... oh well, let's skip it — let's talk about something pleasant. * * * Something pleasant? Sure that's easy. Last Thursday, for instance, I was invited to a special meeting of a local branch to celebrate the Fiftieth Anniversary of the ` Wo- • men's Institute in Canada. I was a little dubious as to whether I' should go since I am not in the habit of leaving chicks "Tor any length of tinge for the first two weeks. However, Partner thought he could look after them—so away we went (my hat and I1) with an- other member for company. I was glad I didn't miss it. It was a wonderful meeting; friendly, well organized, a good programme pro- vided, and finally there was the tea, which was well served, dainty and abundant. I describe the tea in that order because, to my way of thinking, it is a matter for com- ment. * * * Probably everyone has been at teas and lunches where the food supply was more than enough but where the service was very poor. Haven't you had the experience of 1 our miIk problem1144 ;$41t this easq .11 nif you don't know,"- says Elsie the Borden Cow, "how easy it is to have pasteurized whole milk—any- where.

Or perhaps the tea arrived but the cream and sugar didn't. Don't you think at all these social affairs the tea or coffee should be the first consideration? Generally the room or hall is crowded; one gets hot, tired and thirsty, and one antici- pates longingly that good, (hot cup of tea which we hope is in the offing. More than once when''eats" have come around time and again without the cups being replenished I have felt like shouting—"Give me tea or I die!" * * * However, at this tea there was nothing like that. Everything was just perfect—including the marvel- lous birthday cake which was made • by one of the members. There were also African violets—in pots—to decorate the tea table, Big, full - blooming plants that were the envy of nearly every woman present. The guest speaker chose as her topic the evils of self-pity as com- pared with the fulness of life which comes from living and working for others: If an illustration were need- ed it could su''ely have been found in this particular branch of the W.I. This birthday celebration couldn't have been planned if the women had indulged in' self-pity. In fact the branch, as a whole, which is now a live and energetic organization, is actually in existence because women during the past fifty years, had given of their time, their work and their enthusiasm. * * * Listen—I hear a tractor! That means one of our neighbours is out ploughing. Partner must have heard it too for he has just announced he is going up to the back field to see what the land is like. Farm- ers are all alike. Let one of their number start ploughing', seeding, mowing, or cutting crop, and the rest cannot be happy until they are at it' too. I have seen it happen so often. Harking back to this crime of self-pity. I must confess I have been indulging in it quite freely while typing this copy. The rea- son? Yesterday I cut my finger on a sardine can. The cut is deep, ragged and right on top of the finger. Try typing some day with a sore finger and you will know what I mean. Even when I sort of wrap it around the next finger it gets in the way. And if I acci- dentally use it to tap a key . . . ouch! Partner is back from his tour of inspection. He reports the remains of a snowbank in one fence corner, hepaticas in another and more work everywhere than he likes to con- template. But the ground is de- finitely not ready to plough, Leek Spring "Measure your health by your sympathy with morning and spring. If there is no response in you to the awakening of Nature, if the pros- pect of an early morning walk does not banish sleep, if the warble of the first bluebird does not thrill you, know that the morning and spring of your life are past. Thus you may feel your pulse."—Henry D. Thoreau, T E 1 K'OW e- By BARRY Today we turn the spotlight on Gordon Sinclair Jr., of Etobicoke High School. Ti't youi.ger Gordon has been filling the shoes of his famous father, Gordon Sinclair as a newscaster at CFRB, Toronto, while his pa is on vacation in the States. Gordon Jr. handles the newscast- ing very well, and, if he so desires, will likely wind up with just such a job some day. 13esides' attending Etobicoke High School as a stu- dent, he is co-editor of -the school paper, writes a column for Cana- dian High News and another week- ly and then does the daily broad- casting stint in the bargain. In his late teens, young Sinclair is on the threshold of a good journalistic career and no one can argue but that he is off to a good start Best of luck, Gordon. Also in the spotlight this week is Mary Lou Dilworth, teen-age student of Oakville Collegiate, To- ronto, who writes a cupid -advice column for the Canadian High News, 'a student weekly that cir- culates the province. Mary Lou was recently featured in a two' page spread in the New World maga- zine .On top of that, she appeared a few weeks ago as a guest on the CBS programme, "We the Peo- ple," and had a nice trip to New York out of the deal. Seems as if quite a crop of juniors are aspir- ing to the writing field and, believe me, a by-line at the top of a reg- ular column at 17 and 18 is nothing to sneeze at, and doesn't go unno- ticed either. Many of you reading this, have already written to Mary Lou for advice on your love mix- ups and what-nots and the little gal that jots down the answers is doing a swell job of it. The 'Weston teen -club 'recently hit the news pages the hard way, with some of the members having number nines planted in their faces and their noggins bumped against the floor. You no doubt heard abc•ut it. A few rowdies decided to enter a dance the club were hav- ing, (loaded down with laughing soup) and when refused admit- tance, started' to play rough house. A night in the cooler no doubt made the bad boys feel different about the whole, thing. * * * We are in receipt of a poem from a local who dared us to use it. Although a little zany It con- tains a little truth, so here it is: 'TIS SPRING The snow is gone and spring is here, The rains have come and it is drear, The' grass is turning and the buds are out; Mom's a cleaning, pop has the gout, The clouds go sailing far and near. But anyway, spring is here. * * " According to some figures we read recently (and we can't'remem- ber just what they were) crime is on the down -swing. Believe It or not, there were fewer arrests in 1946, than in '45 in one of Can- ada's largest cities. Crime among the juveniles is letting up at last. Fewer cases of break-ins, drunk- enness and the sordid type are re- ported, all of which is very nice to hear. How Canadian youth com- pares with that of the U.S. in crime actions at the moment, I don't know, but let's all work to- gether to keep all Canadian crimes on the• down -swing. * * * Down near the south-west cor- ner of Ontario is a place known as Kingsville. To most of America it is not known 'as Kingsville, but the Jack Miner Bird Sanctuary. If any of you, teeners are planning a trip this summer in that vicinity, by all means go down there and visit this famous spot. Big plans are being made for the sanctuary by Manley F. Miner, son of the late Jack Miner. This memorial to a great lover of birch is one of the beauty spots of c province. We havetrt been there for a num- Sounds Libellous The average housewife leaves half a million germs on a dish after washing it, says a bacteriologist. Germs should be rationed. Hamilton Spectator.

Don't forget that those bird houses you built last winter should. be out now. Almost any night from 10 p.m., on you can hear the Canadian geese honk- ing overhead as they fly to their northern playground for the sum- mer. If you can rememb•sr, bend an ear some night and when you hear that sound from above ii will give yrill a thrill—see if it doesn't'. hipline Variety There is endless variety in hip' lines, from the full dlcirt that stands •out below a little flared peplum or, cutaway jacket, to the more intra• cate drapery which swathes the hips. Skirts, jackets, dresses, coats all share in hip importance, and because of some of the hip treat- ments, coats look tike suits (when they're fitted and have a little pep- lum), and suits look like dresses.
