HomeMy WebLinkAboutZurich Herald, 1949-03-10, Page 3yaw i;;:k e There was a time when the week. ly baking included enough loaves of bread to last a hungry fansiiy. to say nothing of visitors_ for the following seven days. Not many modern housewives follow this time -honeyed custom, as bread -bak- ing on that scale was a tedious chore, and one which involved many 'tours. But there's no reason why Quick Breads made more attractive by the addition of fruits or nuts, shouldn't help you—as they da so many wo- :rnen—in that never-ending problem of "What to Give Them Next?" Most of the quick loaf breads will keep well for as long as a week, es- pecially those containing dried fruits. Cool the loaves on a wire rack, wrap in waxed paper, and be sure to store in a tightly covered tin.

The recipe given makes 6 large muffins; but if you want more, just increase the amount of ingredients propor- tionately. Surprise Jam Muffins 1 tablespoon shortening '4 cup sugar 1 egg • 1 cup sifted flour 2 teaspoons baking powder teaspoon salt zs teaspoon cinnamon • cup milk 14 cup jam y tablespoons chopped nuts (if desired) Method Cream sugar and shortening to- gether until light and fluffy.

According to the makers, the waste of gasoline in the average motor car can be eliminated automatically by the new airflow carburetor needle. The av- erage motorist drives a large por- tion of his mileage at inefficient idling speeds—constantly starting and stopping, waiting for traffic signals, slowing down for other ears. What the needle will do is adjust the motorist's gasoline mix- ture.every time he comes to a stop. In actual tests an average increased mileage of two miles per gallon was reported. NEW METAL CLEANER. Of the "wipe -on -wipe -off" type, this new metal cleaner is said to clean without any rubbing. Applied with damp cloth, fingers, or a brush this product requires only 40 sec- onds to dissolve tarnish, rust .tr stains on brass, copper, chrome, nickel and aluminum and removes rust stains front porcelain enamel and rust out of fabrics, according to makers' claims. 1AMLESS FASTENER. A new slide fastener that won't jam on underclothing, threads or other oh- structions. A twist of the tab re- leases whatever material has been caught in the teeth. WARM WALLS. A new hot-air hone heating method that gives the sensation of radiant heat. Special registers and grilles set into outer walls of room force warns air up- ward in a fanlike pattern, creating a blanket of warm air next to the wall, Engineers say this method cuts installation costs• ho as much as fifty per cent.

Ctazke Partner called use outside this morning. "Do you hear what I hear?" he asked. I listened , . . a crow'. . , and then more crows! There they were, away off in the bush, talking to each other; asking each other—"Can this be spring?" And why not—the sun was bright and warm, there was hardly a trace of snow anywhere, and there wtts. no wind,"other than"' g'entleSreeze. Yes, more than the crows were asking -"Can this be spring?" Personally, I am completely be- wildered; it seems far too early for spring—and yet, surely too late for winter. But that, 1 know, applies only to this district. More than likely -some of you people who read this column have winter all around you. And you may be the better off in the long run. None of the farmers around here are too happy about the bare fields. Oh my, what a lot of things we can find to worry about these days —if we are the worrying kind. And even if we are not there is at least a sense of uneasiness nagging at our subconscious. We would like to know the answer to so many things. What will be the outcome of the North Atlantic pact? Is there an- other depression on the way? Will it be profitable to raise chickens this year—or shall we be left hold- ing the bag? Are prices really on a downward trend? And what is the overall outlook for farming? les, those and- a dozen other questions are quite enough, to keep us awake at night—if we let them. But what good would it do? Certainly we need to take an intelligent interest in world affairs, But worry defeats . its own ends by making us less able to deal with any problems which conte our way, and which may well be the outcome of greater problems affecting our country a.4 a whole. e * 8 You know, there are times whets I go over this colu,nn and say to myself—"My goodness, folks will think we don't know abotit any- thing beyond our hundred acres!' But let me assure you, the da have a few ideas over and above what concerns our cows, our dogs and our cats, But I feel that you know as much, and probably more, about anything that happens that is of national importance; but you don't know, finless I tell you, of the crazy things our Honey does, or the time I have keeping our three animals from half killing each other. If the telling amuses you for awhile, that's fine. But if I bore you to tears just let me know and we will see what can be done about it.

Naturally I was in quite a dither about it. However, J consoled "myself with the thought that when I sevallowed•it the blunt end went firsts If only it stayed straight maybe it wouldn't do any harm, I thought. And then, still worrying, I suddenly came to my senses—"Why, I didn't swallow that pili , , . I didn't swallow any- thing. Pve been dreaming . .. here 1 am,«still in bed—I couldn't have swallowed a pin!" And sure enough, it was a dream—a dream so real- istic that I had quite a time to con- vince myself that such an accident hadn't really happened. But oh dear, how glad I was to discover it wasn't true. Now there's a chance for dream fans—tell me, what did my dream foretell? .r :t Maybe 1 had been working too bard with my crochet hook and sort of got things mixed up. You see I ant about three parts through with making a tablecloth. When it is finished it will consist of 1400 cro- cheted squares. Each square in it- self is about two inches square and takes about 12 to 15 minutes to make. Partner and I amused our- selves the other day by figuring out what the value of the cloth would be when finished, on the basis of n eight -hoar day at $5 a day—which you will agree is hardly trade union pay. We 'figured it out at $225, not counting the cost of the thread, which I have lost track of, And yet, if I wanted to sell that cloth—which I don't ---I suppose $100 would be d onsider'ed all outrageous price to ask. Truly the work of one's hands is seldom appraised :,t its true value. But in this case I have the satisfac- tion of knowing that Daughter will probably treasure my tablecloth as an heirloom , . , when I get through with itl By Rev. R. Barelay Warren SPECIAL TRAINING OF THE TWELVE Mark 9:30-82; Luke 11: 1-4, 9-13. Golden Text:- For every one that iasketh receiveth; and he that seek- eth findeth; and to him that knock- eth it shall be opened.- Luke 11.;10, No group of men ever received as good training for the work of the ministry as did the twelve. It is admitted that judged by present day seminary standards they had low "entrance credits." They came front ordinary walks of life as fishing and tax collecting. But they had the world's greatest teacher. He spake as never man spake. He, Jesus Christ, excelled as a counsellor. The twelve returned tri- umphantly from a tour -in which they had preached repentance, cast out devils and healed many sick. On their return they learned of the murderous action of the adulterous Herod in beheading John the Bap- tist. It was an appropriate time for Jesus to trace the group away from the throngs which gave him no leisure, . even for eating, What counsel and contort the group :trust • have received from the master as they moved across the lake. The holiday was short, for a crowd had gone' about the lake and were wait- ing with their sick. The compas- sion of Jesus was such that he for- got his intended rest and ministered. But in this. too, he was training his disciples. Jesus, by example and precept, ,taught the twelve the meaning and value of prayer. He held commun- ion with the Father. His praying was not irksome but it was so at- tractive that they said on one occasion when He had finished, "Lord, teach us to pray." The promises with respect To prayer are either true or false. They are not false for history tells of many who have proved them true. If they are true for some they are true for aII who will test them. Every great religious awakening has been preceded and accompanied by much praying. Would to God that the prayer life of our nation would deepen. The tyranny that is sweeping the old world might be averted. Our social ills would be healed if Canadians would humbly and earnestly seek God in prayer. Let us pray.
