Friends Work Together Coming to Wingham with Mr. C. Lloyd in 1866 was George Blackwell, a plasterer by trade. These men had been staunch-, friends and at no time was friendship such an asset as in the pioneer days. Nothing, came easily at that time. The occupations of Mr. Lloyd, carpenter and Mr. Black- well, plasterer, were often com- bined and through the years they helped each other and remained steadfast friends. Cash was scarce and they usually found themselves recompensed for their labors with such items as hams or other farm produce. Mr. Blackwell was a valued member of the Primitive Metho- dist Church when it existed in Wingham. Eat more fats, writer advises Given the current concern over cholesterol and its relationship to heart disease and other illnesses, this bit of nutrition advice would not be likely to appear in any modern publication. However a column by Florence Bays in a 1929 issue of The Advance -Times actually urged readers to eat more fats. "In our mania for reducing many eaters are looking askance at fats, but we need them in our system to lubricate our organs, to supply the vitamins they contain and for warmth and energy. Children will become skinny and anaemic and adults will become diabetic and suffer from in- testinal sluggishness without adequate fats in the diet. "Butter and cream are delicious sources of fats, but they are not the only fats which are desirable. Ham fat, bacon fat and other fats of meat should be used liberally in the winter and they may be made attractive. it is said that an Eskimo will eat a candle as eagerly as we eat candy. He knows his needs for energy and warmth. Beat up ham and bacon fat and season them and use them as a spread on brown bread sandwiches. "Fats are spoiled by cooking too rapidly. Boiled meats should be cooked very slowly, merely simmered or cooked in the waterless cooker."
