VEGETABLES
Hello `Homemakers! Some home-
makers like to cook vegetables in
an inch of boiling water. Others
say they don't. Then the argument
is on; one person prefers the flav-
ors,
lagors, while another insists foods
burn when so little water is used,
Actually, it depends on the condi-
tion of the saucepans as well as
the covers and whether the stove
has controlled heat. At this time
of year, home -stored vegetables
may not be too plump. However,
if each day's .supply of root vege-
tables is wasted and stored: over-
night in the refrigerator the vege-
tables will not boil dry when cook-
ed in a small amount of water.
Exact cooking time depends on the
age of vegetables and size of piec-
es in a covered saucepan.
To Boil Vegetables
1. Pour an inch of water in a
saucepan with a tight -fitting cov-
er. '
2. Allow water.to boil rapidly and
add salt (about half a teaspoon).
3. Add vegetables and cover.
4. When 'boiling begins again,
turn to med4nin or position three
to maintain the boiling.
5. Allow 30 to .40 minutes for
home -stored vegetables, such as old
carrots' (whole), onions (quartered -
ed), parsnips (cut lengthwise), tur-
nips (in Si -inch cubes), and, meds
tum potatoes (scrubbed).
6. Pierce vegetables with a fork
to test when tender anddrain as
soon as possible.
7. Cook quantity for on meal at
a time and do not peel more than
an (hour before mealtime. This
saves vitamin value and flavor.
Suggestions
1. Cook equal amounts of sliver-
ed carrots and one -inch pieces of
celery together.
2. Sprinkle a little sage and nut-
meg over boiled' parsnips.
3. Add dry crumbs that have
been browned, in butter to boiled
onions.
4. Add a cheese sauce to boiled
cubed turnips.
5. Thain potatoes, remove skins,
then return to saucepan and shake
gently over beat to make mealy.
Sprinkle with -dried parsley occa-
sionally.
Mrs. S. C. asks: What vege-
tables can be heated in the broil-
ing pan when cooking steaks?
Answer: Cooked Vegetables cut
in one-half inch thick slices such as
potatoes, carrots, onions or canned
string beans, orraw tomatoes are
placed below the rack of broiling
pan. During the broiling period of
16 to 1B minutes, vegetables will be
flavored with dripping and heated
through.

Sports College has made repeated
tests on the value of protein for
physically active people. We find
that athletes getting adequate
amounts of milk and other dairy

2) encounter fewer and briefer
periods of staleness that slow

almost as much about trees—" his
voice dropped, reverently, "almost
as anuoh as God."
It had to be Nels' hard luck that
Sigmund chose that very moment
to walk around the corner of the
building- He heard the last sen-
tence.
entence.
"Good heavens!" he exclaimed,
violently. "Is that boy in his right
mind?"
Janet leaned out the kitchen win-
dow.
"Hush, Sigmund!" she said stern-
ly. "Certainly he's in his right
mind. And Nels will probably do
everything he plans and perhaps
far more. Although I rather doubt
whether he will ever know qute as
much about trees as God."
Nels' dark face was flushed crim-
son,
rimson, and his eyes were turned ev-
erywhere but on his family.
"Well," •he muttered in a surly
voice. "I said almost, didn't 1?"
III
To most of the people in Brig
End Mills the Old Forest was a
beautiful and desirable place only
in the summer. But to Nels Kelson
it was wonderful the whole year
round. In the winter when the sap
was locked in the trees by fierce
frosts, Nels would strap on his
skiis and • strike across the fields
to the Old Forest. It was his re-
fuge from pestering teachers, nag-
ging
agging brothers and sisters, the store,
his father and (mother, any work
for which he had no liking, which
included practically every kind of
,household chore. As soon as he
reached the forest's edge he pass-
ed into another world: a world of
giants and little people; of gentle
whispering voices telling him that
he was one of them; of giant shout-
ing winds that raised the hackles
on his neck and sent shivers down
his spine.
And Janet worried as she saw
the last—and the queerest—of the
Kelsons turning more and: more for
companionship to the'trees and the
rivers and the forces of nature,
and at the same time turning away
from books, from noisy childish
companions; yes, even from HER.
She thought of Seth Badour, the
mad owner, walking alone so coats
ly, as a young man, beneath the
trees of the Old Forest; those trees
that had. been in their •prime when
the Frenchmen fought the Iroquois
at the Long Sault. Seth Bad'our
had! become queerer and queerer
with every passing year, and -Jan

It was Sunday morning and Sig-
mund and Janet *rolled slowly
down the street leading to the one
church in Brig End Mills. Jlansh
had been doing seine concentrated:
thinking over a period of twenty-
four hours, She reached a decision
there on the rickety pavement,
half way between the store and-
tbe church. She stood stock-still.
"Sigmund," she said, decisively,
pointing a gloved finger in the di-
rection of the third button her hus-
band's vest. "1'm going to send~
Nels to Dad's for the Easter holt-
days."
owdays "
"What for?" asked Sigmund, puz-
zled. "I thought you wanted lex,
cure him of this tree business.
Colin's just as nuts about them as
Nels is. No offense, Janet, but 8
always figured that it was from
}dour father that Nels gate his
goofy streak-"
"Sigmund Kelson," said Janet,
shortly. "If you always knew what
you were. about the way my father
does, you woulfi be a better and a
happier man. No, I want to give
Nels a whole week doing somse-
thing the wants to do with someone
who understands him through and
through. He can help Dad set out
his little trees and do some chores
and fool with the pigeons and so-
on,.
"Suits me," said Sigmund, begin-
ning. to stroll forward again to-
wards the church. "Believe me, be
doesn't bring in any trade to the
store! One look at that glum face
of his is enough to drive tshe cus-
tomers clear over to Tanner for
their groceries."
Sigmund Kelson, although a na-
tive of Sweden. never thought et
himself as Swedish or British, or
anything but Canadian. His first
glimpse of the St. Lawrence River
at the age of seventeen from the
deck of a smelly Swedish freighter,
confirmed an opinion he had form-
ed years before at a school desk
in Gatesborg, that Canada was the
-land for him. This opinion had
never changed in forty years, ire
still thought 'Canada the fairest
jewel of the • seven seas and he
had seen them ail. He had been
by turns sailor, soldier, hunter,
trapper, farmer, machinist and car-
penter, and expected to end his
days as the postmaster, storekeep-
er and receiver and dispenser of
gossip in the village of Brig EYtdi
ml
ills-
As a young man with a logging
crew quartered `in Brig End Mills,
he diad met and fallen in love with
Janet McKenzie, e, descendant or
pioneer stock in the township, who
in one year knew him better than
he would ever know himself if het
lived to be a 'hundred.
iBrfg End Mills was a commun-
ity of six hundred and thirty-one
son's. Fifty years before nearly
one thousand people had lived wftth-
in the village limits and had made
it almost self-supporting. But the
arrival of the railroad in the town
of Tanner three miles distant was,
the beginning of the end. Year by
year the village shrank as the
young people moved away to Tan-
ner and other larger centres. Year
by year the church deficit grew
larger and more financial aid was
expected from the hard-working
Women's Auxiliary. The Ahxiliary
catered to banquets, political meet-
ings, auction sales, fall fairs: they
quilted quilts for women who were
too busy or too lazy or too unskill-
ful to do it for themselves; they
held home -making sales; they chas-
ed their indifferent and reluctant
menfolk out with trucks and cars
to make paper and magazine col-
lections. They did everything their
could think of to turn an honest
dollar. The president had once re-
marked with a sigh that they were
so busy making money to bolster
religion, that they had no time to
be religious. •
To the Editor
Toronto, April 3, 1954.
Editor•, The Huron Expositor:
Dear Sir: I would like to recall
some early history of the district
between Hensall and Kippen and
along the London Road 75 years,
ago. It was quite common then to
see transportation on tthe highways
with the oxen, buckboards and gigs
There were some corduroy road's,
and lots of log houses and barns..
Atthat time 1 helped to build Iota
of the new homes that took the
place of those log Houses.
The names of those residing
there at that time are, to the best
of my memory: West side—Robert
Paterson (my father), John Scott,
John Gilchrist (Gardner), Arable
Arbuckle, Tom Wilson (Willow
Hall), Alex Ingram, red. brick bonen
belonged to Paul Bell, John Het
fernan, Jim Petty, ' Mrs. Annan,
Robert''McMurdie, George Thomp-
son, Robert Doig.
East Side — Robert 4McArthm„
Robert McLean, James Blair, Fleet
grown, John Stewart, Ben Sm:illfet•
Sbhn Crawford., Robert Bell (Daddy
Bell), run the grist (mill run by wm
ter power that I would look at long
enough, Robert Hunt, Andrew Bel&
Dave McLean. a
IL can still remember when the
neighboring farmers gathered to-
gether and started in a field wine
the cradle to mow down the grain
and rake it with ,band -rakes and
bind it.
Yours respectfully,
