The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1939-08-03, Page 7THE EXETER TIMES-ADVOCATE TIH’ltKDAY, ALWST », 198# Tested Recipes SALAD FOR SUMMER MEALS The tendency to serve lighter foods in the form of salads and fresh fruits during the summer is a welcome change in the diet and a pleasant holiday for the cook. A fruit or tomato juice cocktail, a fair­ ly substantial salad and fresh fruit makes a completely satisfying lunch or supper on warm days and is an easy meal to prepare. To incorpor­ ate the necessary nourishment into salads, Canadian fish plays a large and tasty role. Fish is rich in health­ giving vitamins, in body building mineral salts and because there is very little waste in preparing fish, it is an economical food as well. Here is a delightful jellied fish salad which can be made with three different kinds of fish. It is a good basic recipe which allows for neces­ sary substitutions so whichever fish you choose, (and plan to make it with all kinds before the summer is over) you will 'find it a popular ad­ dition to your stock of recipes. Jellied Fish Salad 2 cups flaked fish, salmon, lobster or crab, cooked or canned Salt 1 tablespoon gelatin 1 cup salad dressing 2 tablespoons chopped parsley or celery tops (green) 2 tablespoons chopped, stuffed olives or pickles or pimento Paprika U cup cold water 1 cut? chopped celery Soak the gelatin in the cold water for 5 minutes and then dissolve over boiling water. Add the salad dress­ ing and fold in the fish and chopped relishes, omiting any which you can­ not obtain. Left-over fish, or half fish and half meat make a good combination. 1 Turn into moulds - or one large mould - which have been dipped in cold water. Chill and un­ mould on crisp lettuce. Garnish with radishes or olives. Diced chicken and lobster make a good combina­ tion. Serves 8. Sandwich Spreads Summer brings the happy prospect of many meals outdoors. Whether picnic garden party or tea on the lawn, sandwiches will be almost standard equipment. Were it not for the endless and surprising variations and combinations of foods which can be placed between two slices of bread, sandwiches would have disap­ peared from the menus long ago. It is true that the standby of all our childhood Sunday School picnics sal­ mon sandwiches, are-as popular to­ day as ever and appear as regularly at the picnics. But the whole story of sandwiches is not told with sal­ mon. Here are some ideas for mak­ ing delicious sandwich combinations with other Canadian fish. Lobster Spread Combine: Chopped cooked lobster meat; chopped hard-cooked eggs; ’’hopped cucumbers; well seasoned mayonnaise.a Sardine Spread Mash with fork: 6 or 8 large sar- tines. Combine them with 8 to 10 toarsely chopped stuffed olives, .emon juice and paprika. This sandwich spread is especially designed for long waits, it won’t soak the bread even after hours’ of standing. Fish Salad Sandwich Filling 1 cup boiling water 3 tablespoons quick-cooking tapico teaspoons salt 1-8 teaspoon pepper 1-8 teaspoon, paprka 1 tablespoon butter 1 cup tuna or other cooked Can­ adian fish, flaked 2 tablespoons vinegar 1-3 cup mayonnaise Place water in top of double boiler; add dry ingredients and bring to a brisk boil, stirring, constantly.

Law, 28, and her daughter, Madeline,,,aged nine, of 61 Askin street, London, died in the Aux Sables River near Port Franks on Thursday, July 27. Mrs. Law gave her life in a vain attempt to rescue her child. The body of Mrs. Law, wife of a driver for John Labatt, Ltd,, was re­ covered about 70 minutes after her collapse in the water, but there was no hope of reviving her. It was be­ lieved she might have suffered a heart attack, brought on by the shock of the tragedy. Aside from small children, there were no,eyewitnesses to the first phases of the drowning. Recovery of the body of the little girl was not made until some time after her mother was taken from the water when two men in a rowboat and working with grappling irons came upon it a short distance from where she disappeared from view. Got Beyond Depth Madeline was playing in the beach water when she apparently got be­ yond her depth. The mother, seeing her plight, dived in fully clothed but was unable to locate her child. David Law Jr., seven, brother of Madeline, ran for aid to the cottage of Herbert Wheeler, London, about 100 yards away. Persons staying there rushed to the scene and were joined by L. M. “Peter” .Wedd, own­ er of a summer camp at Pt. Franks. The body of Mrs. Law by this time was floating in the water and Mr. - Wedd dived in and brought her to shore. The search then continued for the body of he girl. It was located about two hours later by Don Mc­ Eachern of Port Franks, who had been in the rowboat with William Young, of Goderich.

HEN ADOPTS FAMILY OF YOUNG KITTENS From the farm of John Flynn, on highway No. 4 south of Exeter, comes a story of confused family relations of a cat, her four kittens and a hen. Last spring the hen was brooding for some days in the hay mow when the cat’s family arrived close at hand. Then confusion began when the hen decided that the four kit­ tens were her own offsprings. Since then she covers them at night under her wings and accompanies them in the daytime. When the hen is fed she calls the four to help eat the grain although as yet they have re­ fused that form of diet. When the cat comes to visit her kittens two of them partly emerge from one wing of the hen. The mo­ ther then goes to visit the two under the other wing. Attempts to cure the bird of her folly have been made but when she is distrubed she gives every indica­ tion of resentment and indignation. Mrs. G. W. Flynn, of Exeter, re­ cently has observed the odd behavior of the feathered interloper and vouches for the truth of this story.

McDonald, of Thedford, and Coroner Dr. W. Robinson, of Arkona were called tp the scene.

The heroic efforts of the mother to save her daughter was the second instance of this kind in Western On­ tario within three days. On Tuesday, Mrs. J. A.
