The Wingham Advance-Times, 1965-10-14, Page 4Page 4 — Wingham Advance -Times, Thursday, Oct. 14, 1965 features from The World of Women Home and The Housewife Secrets from the Blue Barn Kitchen By Kay Grose Listowel Pickling is still in season and this week we have a couple of recipes that are very good, It is necessary that pickles and sauces be made carefully. They must be placed in steril- ized and sealed containers. Preservatives such as vinegar, sugar and spices are for flavor and are not in all cases suf- ficiently concentrated to pre- serve food, White vinegar gives pickles a clear color but sometimes cider vinegar is preferred for flavor. Using whole spices loosely tied in a cheesecloth bag keeps the liquid clear. If you use ground spice substitute one level teaspoon of ground spice for one teaspoon of whole spice. Some of the pitfalls in mak- ing pickles are using cucum- bers picked too long ahead of time, causing hollow pickles; over -cooking or using brine or vinegar that is too weak causes pickles to be soft; brine too strong, tough or shrivelled pickles. When pickles darken it is usually because pickling salt (salt without iodine) has not been used. Iron kettles will al- so cause darkening so be sure to use wooden or granite spoons, aluminum or enamel kettles. Scum on the top of crock or unsealed pickles is caused from bacteria growing on the sur- face. Pickles will float to the top and become slimy unless they are weighted down, with a plate and stone.

Mrs. Robert Hickey, sports officer, poses with the collection, in- cluding the Berry Door Trophy, upper right. Advance -Times Photo. Dear Ann Landers: I just caught up with your stand a- gainst toy guns and I think that you are some kind of a nut. Don't you know guns are part of our' American heritage? The right to bear arms is as American as . apple pie, I wouldn't come right .out and call you a communist but may- be you should be investigated. There were four boys in our family and we all had toy guns when we were kids. Later we got real guns and learned how to hunt with dad. None of us has ever had an accident. Hunting is a great sport and it makes me mad when crocks like you knock it. Why .don't you dry up?—MEL, Dear Mel: Thanks for your adorable letter. Bunting is a fine sport for those who enjoy it. 'Killing animals for recre- ation—and killing other hunters by mistake—is not my idea of fun. I'm glad you haven't had an accident, but sometimes the other fellow's accident puts you in the morgue. I've said it before and I'll say Joyce Procter Wins Scholarship A scholarship from Huron County Women's Institute was presented to Miss Joyce Procter, Belgrave, when the W.I. held its annual rally in Walton Com- munity Hall. Mrs. Richard Procter received the award tor her daughter, who is attending the University of Western On- tario. The bursary donations to the Children's Aid Society will be continued. Last year four girls became self-supporting be- cause of the $554 W. I. bur- sary. Mrs. John McLean, Seaforth, read a report by Mrs. W. D. Mack, who attended the con- vention of Associated Country Women of the World in Dublin, Ireland. President of Huron County Historical Society, Mrs. Mack urged all branches to make their curators members of the society. She asked that histories of local schools and pioneer cemeteries also be ob- tained. Mrs. Maureen I3arry of the department of transport, gave a talk, "Safety With People". West Huron W, I. will be hos- tesses for the rally next Octo- her. it again! I don't like toy guns for little boys or real guns for big boys. Guns are for killing and I can think of better things to do with time, o--0--0 Dear Ann Landers: A group of us were talking about the origin and meaning of words a n d colloquial expressions. There was a lot of disagree- ment about "Lace Curtain Irish." We'd like you to tell us what it means.—WORD WORRIERS. Dear Worriers: It doesn't re- quire much imagination to fi- gure out that "Lace Curtain Irish" describes people of Irish descent Who are so well off fi- nancially that they can afford lace curtains at the windows. A definition I like better, (however, is the late Adlai Stev- enson's, He said: "Lace Curtain Irish are folks who 'have fruit in the house when nobody is sick." 0--0--0 No teen-ager is as confident as he appears.
