Cut -Up Poultry Proving Popular With wars and rumours of wars threatening on the international front, here's good news for the hr'l: sewife on the home front—the disagreeable job of "cleaning the chicken" is on. the way out. With the increasing use of eviscerated and ready -to -cook poultry in 'Cana- dian homes another housewife's chore will soon be struck off the list. Today in many Canadian communities the consumer has the choice of buying an attractively dressed whole fowl, a halt, a quarter, a leg—and if she likes, she can leave the wings for those who want them! Turkey steaks tight on and are proving on some markets. Because better�flavor and quality and elimination of much unpleas- have c la pi; of i the to ant kitchen labor, ready -to -cook and eviscerated poultry is finding increasing favour from coast to coast. . To maintain an optmum balance between production and consump- tion, poultry producers realize that not only must the product be at- tractively pretented, it must have the highest quality and flavor pose si�ble. E. D. Bonnyman, poultry marketing specialist in the Depart- ment of Agriculture at Ottawa says that while it is important to pro- duce a bird with good flavor, it is equally important to retain that flavor right up to the time it reaches the consumer's table. Research work has shown that ne of the best ways to achieve this and avoid "off" flavors and isc•eral taint, is to remove the entrails soon after the bird is killed. This of course must be 80909 ra 67/6641? 1950 WAS ANOTHER BUSY YEAR! MORE PEOPLE used their telephones more than ever before. Calls made by you, your friends and neigh- bours helped swell the total to a new record — over 11 million calls a day. And all the time new telephones were being added. Now you can reach more people; more people can react you. In that way alone, telephone service be- came even more valuable to you in 1950. Its value and convenience were increased, too, by many improvements we were able to make in the quality of service, and because telephone people everywhere tried to be helpful and friendly. There's a lot to be done in '51. You can be sure well keep on doing the best job we know how — to supply the kind of service that is so important to you — and so essential to our country. THE BELL TELEPHONE COMPANY OF CANADA Henry Strang, 89, Active in Community F`or Many Years. Funeral services for Henry Strang, 89, who died at his home in Exeter were conducted Monday at 2:00 p.m. by the Rev. Donald Sinclair, in Caven Presbyterian Church, and interment made in Hensall• Union Cemetery. Active pallbearers were Samuel Dougall, Clarence Down, Earl Mitchell, Earl Sweigard, Fred Simmons and Norman Stanlake, and honorary pallbearers, William Sellery, Thos. Pride, M.L.A., Dr. J. E. Dunlop, Fred Wildman, the Rev. J. W. Down and the Rev. James Anthony. Mr. Strang was born in Usborne Township, and farmed there until retiring and going to Exeter to live thirteen years ago. Always keenly interested in church and community work, he had served 50 years as an elder of Caven Church, was a teacher of the Bible Class many years, clerk of Usborne Township sixteen years, and secre- tary -treasurer of Huron Weather Insurance Company for many years. Surviving besides his wife are two sons, William, London; Harry, Usborne Township; five daughters, Mrs. Fred Bliss, Vancouver; Dr. Margaret Savage, Cold Lake, .Al- berta; Mrs. A. W. Percival, North Bay; Mrs, George Lamont, Mit- chell, and Mrs. Carmen Cann, Us - borne. One son, John, was killed in action in France in 1517, and another son, Alex, was reported missing at sea in 1942, while serv- ing in the navy. CAI BA'S Canada's Lost Babies Canada's infant death rate has decreased during the past 10 years from 61 per thousand to 44 per thousand, but this figure' is still too high. To bring the mortality figures still lower the mother should receive the best available pre -natal medical care, and both mother and child should have checkups by the family doctor or well -baby clinic. Retarded Youngster In meny communities there is a backward child. Kindly neighbors. can help the parents with their burden by accepting a little re- sponsibility for the child's safety. If the youngster is seen straying, from the home, talking to strang- ers, trang ers, being teased by older chiyldren, or rynninF in an any Of OUP - ger, the pavane e s1 11d' b..,e notWed or the little one seen aately home. combined with up-to-date and approved processing practices such as are followed in the registered grading station program in Canada, where emphasis is placed on sani- tation, efficient processing, cooling and freezing. When everyone is interested in cutting down costs, Mr. Bonnyman points out that when cutting -up and evisceration is practised at the initial shipping point, a consider- able saving is made in freight as the eviscerating shrink has been estimated to be about 22 to 25 per cent. On long hauls this saving in freight has been found to approxi- mate a cent a pound. Considered in terms of the millions of pounds shipped in Canada every year, it is readily seen what an effect this would have on the whole poultry' meat industry. And if this saving in shipping might be passe on to the consumer, then it is conceiv- able that the present 23 pounds annually consumer per capita might be increased to the ,benefit of all concerned. Listen, Linda! We said we'd do it! For you, and.those like you, young and old, we said we'd make the Canadian March of Dimes a living reality.

Den- tal caries or other unhealthy states of the teeth or mouth should be treated by the dentist, promptly, before it can develop into serious trouble. Obildren's east teeth are important and have a direct effect upon the appearance and health of the adult set. Two years of age is not too soon to start twice -yearly visits to the dentist. No Armistice Canada wages an unceasing war on contakious diseases. By having all children immunized, they can be protected against such killer diseases as whooping cough, diph- theria and smallpox. It should'not be forgotten that immunization against tetanus (commonly called lockjaw) is available and can us- ually be given at the same time as those for the contagious diseases. Vegetable Valued Vegetables are good for you, and most of them are in the low-priced food brackets. They contain many of the vitamins and minerals nec- essary in a good daily diet. When preparing vegetables, don't soak them too long and don't use too much water in the cooking, which should be made as speedy as 'pos- sible. Remember that the water in which vegetables have been cook- ed ook ed adds flavor and richness to gravies and soups. He's An Impressionable Audience A small child is sensitive to the home atmosphere, and home con- ditions can affect him in childhood and influence his adult character. Frequent quarrels and disagree- ments among the grownups may develop a feeling of uncertainty in the young child. He may grow up feeling unloved and unwanted. Every family has its major or min- or disputes, but these should be thrashed out when the child is not present. . • Shouts, ` whistles, megaphones, speaking tubes, trumpets, drums, gongs and even canon shots have been used to send messages over long distances at various periods of man's history. Let Grain Be Unrefined Whole grain cereals have had none• of their valuable content re- moved. They contain many of the nutrients you need and are richer in the vitamins and minerals than the more highly refined varieties. The whole grain cereals, which can be identified. by the labels on their containers, will help to provide the daily quota of nutritives necessary to health. They are not in the higher priced food brackets.and should be served regularly. When the - torsions invaded Greece in 48Q, B.C., they establils'h- ed a line of leather -lunged indi- viduals who, by sheeting from one to another, relayed messages from Athens to Sousa, the ancient Per- sian capital—a distance of more than 1,500 miles in 40 hours. The ancient Gauls• used a simi- lar method, the shouters , being posted on high towers. They seem to have used megaphones. Alex- ander the Great possessed a gigan- tic megaphone which could project the voice 12 miles. What a boon for hog callers! --Preventing •the After Effects Early diagnosis of rheumatic fever may make all the difference in a child's life between a normal existence and semi -invalidism. If a child suffers frequent nosebleeds, increasing loss of appetite, sudden short sharp pains in limbs and joints, with listlessness and pallor, and if :he doesn't make normal weight gains, consult your doctor. Medical science can do much to prevent rheumatic fever from hav- ing major consequences. (The Blue B'eH) been suggested by the conch shell.

"Drum talk" has long been a means of communication among primitive peoples. By pounding al- ternately a high and a low-pitched drum, members of the Aslhanti tribe in Africa are able to send and receive messages in their own dialect. The wolf whistle is a well-known method of conveying one specific idea, but the mountaineers of Go - mere, one of the Canary Islands, have a whistling language by whi h they can carry on whole conversa- tions over a distance of. three or four miles. The best whistlers do not use their Angers at all, but con- vey, their meaning by varying the intensity of two or three notes. They become so expert that they can pronounce Spanish while whis- tling. It is said that a landed proprie- tor, with farms on the island, sec- retly took lessons in whistling to keep in better touch with his ten- ants. The next time be visited them, he heard his approach being heralded from hill to hill. Reading the messages 'being whistled, he discovered that instructions were being given to hide some of the stock, so that he could not claim -all his property! A 17th century English visitor to Gomera is reported to have ask- ed a native to whistle into his ear, and was rewarded with 15 days of deafness. Probably the earliest form of telephone system was that of the Emperor Shi Huang Ti, which con- sisted of brass tubing extending between guard stations along the 1,500, -mile Great Wall of China.. The Romans also had brass speaking tubes between watch towers, placed at intervals of about a mile, along a stone wall erected from Solway to Tyne in England, a total distance of about 100 miles. Late in the 17th eentury, Father Athanasius Kircher suggested the use of various peculiarly shaped, speaking tubes, built into the walls of castles, for securing •secrecy of conversations between diplomats, who at that time thought it un- desirable for them to be seen to- gether until they were ready to announce the results of their de- liberations. A tube could be so shaped, Kircher asserted, that ev- en a whisper could be heard through it, in a room 100 feet away, but only by the participants in the conversation.` In 1782, one Dominie Gauthey demonstrated his method of signal- ling from one part of a building to another by hammering on metallic tubes—much as the denizens of apartment houses summon heat from the nether regions by bang- ing on the radiators. The trumpet is one of the oldest means of projecting 'sound. It may date to Assyrian times. Its ances- tor was probably the "shofar" or ram's horn, and that may have THE MIXING BOWL Ay ANNE ALLAN :L. Hydro Homo Economist Hello Homemakers! The men at the Crop Improvement Conference are talking about us. They want to know wlhy bomemakers do not buy more Ontario potatoes and turnips. We are not among the guilty be- cause we purchase home-grown vegetables whenever possible. Who could pass by such inexpensive nu- tritious foods? Ontario growers are producing high quality crops and we should stop to consider the well-being of our farmer -neighbor. Local vegetables are being graded, and packaged more carefully and efficiently now than in the past. If you ask for Grade 1 potatoes or Hiland potatoes you will find them - of uniform size, smooth and free from disease. (The Hi -land pack- ages' Come • from Dufferin County, the highest garden area in On- tario.) When you purchase turnips and onions, look for ones that have had a narrow stem, few roots and those that are oval and smooth. There are some who think that potatoes and turnips are fattening. In answer to this statement may we remind you that jams and breads are 80 to 98 per cent starch while these root vegetables are on- ly 20 per cent. In other words, one medium sized potato is not more fattening than one slice of bread or one-half doughnut or one-third, serving of apple pie. Although it is true that potatoes and turnips are a good source of food energy, Vitamin C and iron, it is necessary to remind you that potatoes cooked ht their jackets or pressure cooked turnips have the most nutritional value. Take a Tip 1. Do not soak peeled vegetables before cooking. 2. Cook as quickly as •possible in a covered pan. 3. Start cooking in a small amount of boiling water. Reduce heat once water is back to boiling. 4. Use the cooking water for soup stock or gravy. (If potatoes are boiled and the water is discard- ed. about one-quarter of time iron may, be lost). 5, Serra. tire ptsttltded' and tttffitittl as soon as they are cooked. ,6. Keep vegetables in a cool, well - ventilated room to' preserve the greatest amount of Vitamin C. 7. Since potatoes reheated by pan frying or browning are low in food• value it is stoadvisable to cook two meals' supply at one time. A good way to use left- over baked potatoes is to peel, cube and heat in a milk sauce in a double boiler. Another way to heat.leftover boiled -in -skin potatoes is to make •Duchess potatoes. Duchess Potatoes 1. Prepare mashed potatoes; 1 egg or 2 yolks, well beaten,'may be added. 2. Butter a baking -dish; put in pot- atoes, mound in centre, smooth the surface, brush over with melted butter. 3. Brown in 'hot oven. Scalloped Potatoes 2 cups cooked potatoes, diced 1 cup medium white sauce '/2 tbsp. finely Chopped parsley 1 tbsp. finely chopped onion 1% cups buttered crumbs. 1. Add potatoes, onion and parsley to while sauce. '2. Turn into buttered baking dish. 3. Cover with buttered crumbs; brown in hot oven. Note.—fit to 1 cup grated cheese may be added to the sauce. Omit paisley. French Fried Potatoes 1. Wash and pare potatoes; cut in thin slices or in Stripe. 2. Soak in Cold water 10 minutes. 3. Drain; dry between towels. 4. Cook in deep fat which browns a. cube of bread in 40 seconds - 390 degrees. 5. Cook until golden brown; drain on unglazed paper; sprinkle with salt; keep hot for serving.

A system: of sound signalling somewhat similar to that of the African tribes .has been used 'by the natives of South America for centuries. Slabs°of wood, differing in length like -the keys of a xylo- phone, are suspended by thongs on crosspieces placed on forked sticks. These are fastened at the sides and at the bottom of a canoe about three or four 'feet apart. The oper- ator kneels behind the device and strikes the bars with a heavy mal- let, the head of which is wrapped in India rubber and bound with Strips of tapir hide. 'rhe notes sounded are similar to the do, rap mi and fa of the musical scale, and by varying •their length and us- ing different combinations, the drummer can send any message a distance of four or five miles. 'When Lange, the.explorer, was in South America, his guide at one Point set up this sound -signalling apparatus and sent this announce-, menta "A white man is arriving with us. He seems to have a gond heart and • to be of good character." The reply was: "You are welcome, provided, you place your weapons in the bottom of the canoe." In Malay countries, talking gongs can be found. The sender taps out a call to attention, using a progres- sioli of tones from a carillon of gongs. Then he strokes•a deep - late seep.
