McKIBBON Phone 475 Wingham Hello Homemakers! Have you ever wondered why Meats are called beef, veal, pork and mutton when on the table, but cows, calves, pigs and sheep when on the hoof! Well we have been asked so often that we were prompt- ed to search for the answer. According to history this distinc- tion of terms originated after the Norman conquest of England. The names of the meat came from the language of the conquerors who ate it, while the Saxon peasants who took care of the animals continued to call them by their Saxon names, Today, no matter what kind of meat we want the cost seems to take most of our food budget. For in- stance, a survey shows that the aver- age price of stewing beef during July, 1931, was 12 cents per pound while the July price this year for stewing beef has been about 68 cents. So when the butcher tells you that a lain pork roast costs about 65 cents you may be tempted to disregard the less expensive beef cuts, However, un- less you cook the roast carefully you will only have one serving per pound whereas stew made with fresh gar- den vegetables yields three servings per pound. Savory Stew 3 lbs. stewing beef 3 tbsps. dripping 1 cup each of carrots, celery and tomatoes 1 cup cubed potatoes 1 bay leaf 2 tbsps. minced parsley it tsp. thyme Cut beef in one inch cubes. Roll pieces in flour. Brown meat in drip- ping, Cover with boiling water. Sim- mer 1V2 hours. Add vegetables and seasonings and cook 35 minutes. Thicken liquid with flour to make gravy. (If desired, cook Dumplings.) Pork Roast 4 to 6 lb. pork roast salt, pepper, flour, Take the roast from the refriger- ator at least 1/2 hour before cooking it. Wipe with a damp cloth and pat roast with a mixture of flour, salt and pepper. Place fat side up in a preheated electric oven of 350 degs. Roast about 21/2 to 3 hours, allowing 35 minutes per lb. TAKE A TIP 1. Store meat immediately in the refrigerator or in a cold, fresh at- mosphere. Remove wrapping from fresh or smoked meat and cover the top loosely with wax paper, leaving ends open. Store in the meat compartment or directly below the freezing unit. 2. Store ground meat in meat keep- er but cover the whole surface loosely, Cook within 24 hours, 3. Store frozen meat in the freezing unit of the electric refrigerator, Keep meat frozen until ready to use. Do not refreeze. 4. Store cooked meats wrapped in foil. Do not cut, grind or slice until ready to use. 5. Poultry keeps better whole than in pieces. 6. Wrap fresh fish completely and store in a covered meat keeper. Cook within 24 hours. 7. To reheat meat without losing the moisture and flavour wrap first in• aluminum foil or wet parchment paper. Sliced meats may also be heated in gravy. TIH QUESTION g(N Mrs. R, K, asks', How do you bread meat? Answer: Cutlets, chops and sliced fresh meats are usually breaded, Dip the meat into a slightly beaten .egg mixed with a tablespoon of milk, then in fine bread crumbs, Mrs. B. W, asks: Do you ever use cornstarch in place of flour for thick- ening stews? Answer: Yes. We make a corn starch paste with cold water and thicken the meat .stock of lamb or veal with it in preference to flour. The flavour will be extra good and it gives a clearness to the gravy. Mrs. IN, R, sends • us, by request, the following favorite recipe: CORNED BEEF RASH Slightly cook 2 tbsps. minced on- ions in a skillet in a small amount of fat, add 2 cups minced canned corned beef, 3 cups chopped, cooked potatoes, 2 tbsps. dripping and V.! cup tomato juice. Cover and cook slowly for about 25 minutes or until a brown crust has formed on the bottom. If desired, serve a poached egg on each serving.

Magic of Compound Interest Why Not Old Age Savings Scheme? Because of the relentless decline in the value of our dollar very few people will feel grateful to the gov- ernment for any old-age pension that is payable in dollars. But pensions can be paid only in dollars. Accepting this as something beyond our control, and accepting the gov- ernment's determination to go through with some old-age security legislation there is still time to con- sider whether the proposed measure is the best that can be devised. The cost is estimated at 325 mil- lion dollars a year or about 25 dollars for every man, woman and child in the country. This is equivalent to 125 doiiars a year for 414rinly of five. What can the average family PX- PeCt in return, for this annual sacri, Tice. They can expect nothing, unless some of them live beyond the pen, sionahle age. No matter how great their mis- fortunes or how dire their need in the intervening years, they can ex peck no help of any kind from their contributions to this scheme, Is there any way by which a per- son's contributions could be credited to him. and used, if need be, to meet emergencies that are far more certain to come to the average person than a penurious old age? At 3 per cent compound interest money will double itself every 23 years. If the,,father of a family of five were given an opportunity to invest his old-age pension contribution in a gilt-edged security, at 3 per cent compound interest, commencing at age 24, the 725 dollars he invested the first year would be worth 500 dol- lars when he reached the age of 70, the 125 he invested the second year would be worth 500 dollars when he reached the age of 71. At 72 he would be able to draw 500 from what he paid in during tfhe third year. If he lived long enough he could continue to draw 500 diallars a year till he reached the ripe old age of 116 years, all out of his own savings, If he did not live to be that old, whatever was left of his savings wouldgo .to his heirs. Not many families go through life 'without experiencing some misfortune that makes a heavy drain on their resources. With such a fund as this to their credit, most families would have far less cause to worry during their lifetime than they would under a pension plan to which all are com- pelled to contribute, but from which only a few can ever hope to benefit. The government is always having to borrow money. Why not borrow the savings of our own people? Why St-R VE- e5rg: NO MUSS NO BOTHER not an.
