The Goderich Signal-Star, 1947-07-24, Page 7Hello, Homemakers ! The garden
season brings us fruits and vegetables
in glorious array. This year, with the
accent on "save azul send" to stay the
march of death in less fortunate lands,
.we 'must make fullest use •of our
perishable -foods . . . use them as they
Dkaome, to conserve other foodstuffs in
order to increase our exports, and pre-
serve the garden' crops fur use during
the rest' ' of , the year.
Methods of preservation should be
sound and sure. Canning, the must
widely used method, is too big a sub-
ject fpir our column to handle in -de-

When your BACK'
ACHES...
Backache it often caused by lazy kidney
action. When kidneys get out of order excess
acids and poisons remain in the system. Then
backache, headache, rheumatic pain, dis-
turbed rest or that `tired out' feeling may
soon follow. To help keep your kidneys
working properly—use Dodd's Kidney Pills.

THE OODERxCIT MGNA`
Austra1ia and Other Lands
Following is a paper given by Mro.
Kenneth Campbell, E.R. 2, Auburn,
a meeting of the A,ubur.�, Women's
Institute. Mrs. Campbell Is a native
of Australia;
Pirst....of all, I'd like to tell you
something about Australia. It is my
native land, .. and wild always be dear
to my 'heart.' I came from Sydney,
the capital of New South Wales, which
is on the Pacific coast. , After thayi death
of my father, wet bought a little
bungalow right on the sea front,. and
always the rollers pounding back and
forth on the sand lulled me to sleep -
at night,
Australia hasn't a large -amputation,
and must of the people live in the
cities, which are mainly in the coastal
regions. The dairy and Poultry farms
are on tire outer circles of the suburbs,
and then away out in the hack country
they raise the wheat -and sheep which
keep up the country's finances.. Un-
like the practice in most of the world,
'they are not called farms, but stations,
and they stretch' from iiun(1}'eds to
thousands of miles.- All ..,of the Men
who live back there are tough. They
have to face droughts of twelve months
to two. years, With sweet and toil
their only reward when years are lean.
They have "no cold weather .to contend
with, so sheep and .cattle wander all
the year around on the land.
Unlike fire country people, the city
folk lead a pretty easy life. Usually
strangers arriving in Australia are
amazed at ,the number of' public boll -
days. The Go�'er•lment is Labor, hence
slant of the population are employed as
civil servants. Transport, gas, water,
sewage, electricity, in fact every public
necessaysis'tun I.ty the Governziient. '-?t
should work perfectly, but Australia
is known as the worst strike country
in the world,. though 'I' think America
must be leading now,
Australians put their hearts and souls
into the fight for freedom. There, was
hardly a pian under forty-five not in
uniform. , Always the threat of a
Japanese - invasion hung over the
Australians, with such a wide expanse
of unoccupied'territory to he defended.
The Japanese did get into Sydney
harbor in . miniature submarines, but,
were quickly sunk or brought to the
surface.
Sydney harbor Is Beautiful .
I think Sydney harbor •is the most
beautiful in the world. You enter
between two towering green .headlands,
hardly wide enough for a :ship to ass
through. Then you are.greeted with a
wide expanse of blue water; with green
hills finding their way down to golden
,sandy beaches, where miniature _white
rollers gurgle back and forth. S6rue of
the coves and bays are quite thickly
inhabited, Mostly in bungalows. with
verandahs -holding gaily colored deck
chairs and tables. From here; many
.watch the yacht races which take place
every Saturday.
On your way in, you pass reverie -1}
small islands with cgolorful names, such
as Cockatoo, -named after one of
Australia's birds. When Australians
go abroad. they. always get into hot
water by speaking of their wonderful
bridge, probably because people • have
heard so much about it already. How-
ever, unless -you saw it, you can't im-
agine how impressive it looks, or h(iw
-beautifully the pale grey structure
blends with the pastel shades of Syd-
ney's big stores outlined' against the
blue sky,
'135 the way, the stores have a very
good system, lvhich I have never -heard
of anywhere else in the world. It is
called "lay by." The customers go into
the store, see something they like, and
ask the clerk to put the article in
"lay by," , after the bill is made out.
You pay 4c for every $4,00 the article
costs, which ultimately comes. off •the
bill. Anything except perishables can.
be plit away in this manner.
(Me great event' of the year.is the
Sydney show, Where manufacturers
give smallsal:m les of their every pro-
drict in expressive carriers, -getting far
more than twenty-five cents' worth.
Then• they have log -sawing contests;
tree -felling, horse racing, and bronco
busting. Beilders and decorators have
Miniature homes .for people to walk
inside and insect. These little homes
tare complete iaa..every detail.

La Peruse, where Ca -Cook firt3t

and ornaments aarade from sea shells.
Some attract attention by having
snakes wanderingover their bodies.
Another inhabitant of Australia is
fast becoming. extinct, the sweet/little
koala bear. 'Ile doesn't like people,
being a timid little furry fellow vsho
lives in the eucalyptus, or gum tree,
as it is usually called, He feeds off
the tips of the. gum leaves, and they
carry their young ones on their back.
I could talk at length about the wild
life of Australia, the l;<anguroo and the
kookaburra or laughing jackass. The
latter is a lovable fellow, who sends
merry peals of laughter , through the
woods. Ile loves to steal your tooth-
brush or anything which he can safely

One of the nicest services in summer
is that of tire' lifts savers, which extliels
from August until May. They are
voluntary members and the young men
long to join, as only the fittest awl
strongest are chosen. There is a life
club -house on every beach, with a look-
out tower. and eutertltinment rooms.
Each• beach has its own colors, and
one of the most exciting events of the
year• is -the- contest between the teams.
One of the contests is to ' rescue a
man. The swimmer fastens a cord to
himself and goes to the rescue. When
the line is a distance out, another man
takes up a position so that the line
won't drag away in the centre. So it
goes ori• until the swimnrer reaches the
drowning man and gradually gets him

TAKE A TIP
Successful caanning',depends on Wit-
twin rules..
1. Use the right method for your equip
merit and follow 'directions ear;*fully.
2. Check the jara, rings and tops. They
{bust be in perfect condition—and
that goes for the fruit and vege-
tables, too.
3. Be scrupulously clean. in w'srtahiug
jars and fruit.
4. Be cautious to note processing time.
5. After cooling, stare the jars in a
cool, dry plaice, away front light.
THE SUGGESTION BOX
Mrs. S. M. says: W'hen canning t-ege-
tables, say,'g}'eeti, beans, we often hale
only enough left to halt~ till the last
jar. Try finishing that last jar with
some other vegetable, sliced carrots,,.
for Instance. Any jar of mixed vege-
tables should be processed the length
of time necessary for the product re-
quiring the longer processing period:
Mrs. D. T. says: If you have not
a steamer for blanching. try this
device. Place ii piece of" cheesecloth
over a lecke kettle:. put on the lid
to hold it in place and tie' i strong
card tightly around 'the rim. Pour
enough water into kettle so that it
barely comes to bottom of bag of
cheesecloth. When water boils, drop
in the food to 'be steamed.
Mrs. J. M. says: I discovered that
the base of ' my pressure cooker ex-
tended 'beyond the heat element of my
priced;, electric range. Peering that
the heat would cause the' enamel to
scratch, I cut a protective ring of
asbestos paper to i,fit around the
element.
Mrs. C. C. says: To shell peas quick-
ly dip them in boiling water for one
minute, then cool quickly in cold water
