The Goderich Signal-Star, 1953-03-12, Page 10Hello Homemakers! Our lenterl foods are so easy to prepare and require such short cooking periods that we are apt to neglect season- ing. Since fish and cheese may be bland remember that the success - secret is blending of flavors with the •food or in a sauce. Lemon or egg sauces go well with fish while mustard or celery seed taste fine in cheese dishes. TAKE A TIP 1. Sauces for steamed or baked fish: mustard, tomato, creole, curry, egg, cheese, Hollandaise, Allemande, etc. 2. Sauces for fried or broiled fish: mushroom, brown butter, tartar, Anchovy. butter or hot mayon- naise, etc. 3. Garnishes for fish: pickles, cap- ers, pickled beets, celery, pars- ley, lemon, pickled onions. 4. Onions and garlic add greatly to the flavor of cheese if you scrape off the cut side and use sparingly. Other minced vege- tables (carrots, beets) go' well in cheese fondue. Add cooked rice to strong flavored cheese »or pieces of cooked bacon. 5. To store cheese, sprinkle with` EXCEL FEEQ SERVICE The BETTER they g Everybody kno health– for f in.their p`r Chick form mor vinegar and place in a glass sealer with a cube of sugar in it. Cover. 6. To improve flavor of canned shrimp soak them in ice cold water for hour. 7. To remove fish aroma add must- ard or ammonia to' the wash water. 8. Make only the required number of servings of fish or cheese dishes. These. foods are never the same -when reheated.

"THE BRUCE BECKONS" (A guest article written by Wilfrid Eggleston) I have been reading an interest- ing book written by Dr. William Sherwood Fox, former president of the University of Western On- tario. It is called "The Bruce Beckons." It tells the story of the Bruce Peninsula, from Cham- plain to the present. I read it because "Bob" Deachman recom- mended it to me, and lent me his autographed and inscribed copy of it. "Bob" recalled days when he and Dr. Fox had sat under a tree in Goderich and . had talked about Lake Huron, and Georgian Bay, and the counties that bordered on them, "A man full of fat • rating sfories," said- Bob. Dr. Fox has put many of them into this book. The flowers of Bruce, the snakes of Bruce, the tides of Bruce, and scores of .others. I was particular- ly interested in his chapter about the passenger pigeon, which once nested in millions in that part 01 Ontario, but whteh Was wiped out by man or which fell victim to some si oul'ge. Not one survived. "It has gone (. forever . , by 1885 the birds were scarce indeed," Dr. •Fox writes. A resident of Red Bay whom I knew saw his, last pigeon near there in 1893, As far as the whole Georgian Bay region is concerned the last word of the 'race's obituary is this: in May of 1902 three pigeons—a pair and a single bird --were seen near Penetanguishene, S'lmcoe County:" Like other regions of Canada, the Bruce was once quite heavily forested. but it was rapidly timber- ed over and despoiled. There is a note of melancholy in all such stories. "The trutll is,'' says the Western Ontario author, "that the making of square timber, whether by large gangs- or by small gangs, was ap- pallingly wasteful. For this pur- pose only the largest and finest pines were chosen. . The operators well knew that the ultimate pur- chaser would reject any stick that failed to meet his most exacting requirements; the presence of more than two black knots in any stick was enough to condemn it.'' If .a woodman found after felling it that a pine was defective, it was left there to rot. The harvest of a thousand years of growth was reaped in thirty. By the early years of this century there was not much left to gut. "Sixty years ago for a cord of, four -foot slabs loaded on the car ,one could not get more than fifty cents Today in any Ontario city a small bundle of thin slab kindling eighteen inches long sells for twenty-five cents, and the present generation inherited the patch- fl4,00-6 NEW DESIGN UNITED OFFICE MACHINE SERVICE Guaranteed Service to ail -makes of office machines ---� Contact -� SIGNAL -STAR OFFICE Phone 71 Goderich =9tf work of wilderness, arid barrens, small farm clearings, and a strug- gling secondigrowth of forest." Happily the attitude has chang- ed. In a later page the author tells of the mill at Stokes Bay, and the new sense of, conservation that grew up around a sportsman's club. "From it has emanated an influence which has helped inspire the entire county to make a survey of the Peninsula's , unique variety of resources and at length to adopt policies definitely aimed at con- serving the resources that remain. and also at restoring, so far as possible, those that have been im- paired by the thoughtless rapacity of the first generation of bush - raiders. "The promise of a new -old Bruce is alluringly bright." A cheerful post -script to a dis- turbing fragment of history. NORTH STREET W.M.S. PLANS SPECIAL MEET The W.M.S. of North Street Un- ited Church met Tuesday of last week inthe church parlor. Prayer was by Mrs. Mary Phillips.
