COOKERY METHODS OF
TURNIPS
Hello Homemaker's! The truth thoroughly: FbId in stiffly beaten
about turnips has given -prominence whites and pour filling into 9 -inch
to this vegetable which keeps us well
provided during the entire winter.
There' are two types of turnip—white
and yellow (rutabaga). The white
turnip is milder flavoured but not as
high in food value as the yellow.
When the yellow turnip is overcooked
it turns dark, is watery and generally
unpalatable..
for another variety.
5. Because of the pronounced
flavour of yellow turnip we like to
mash it and combine with an equal
amount of mashed potato.
Scalloped Turnip with Cheese
1 yellow turnip, salt pepper, flour,
', cup grated old cheese, 1 cup milk,
1 man bread crumbs.
Pare and slice turnip very thin.
Cut into quarters. Arrange slices in
greased baking dish. Sprinkle each
layer with salt, pepper, a. little flour
and grated. cheese. Add milk to come
up at least half' the depth of the dish.
Top with buttered crumbs. Cover and
bake in electric oven at 850 deg. for
1x4. hours. Just before serving remove
$over to allow crumbs to brown.
Baked Turnip Puff
3 cups cooked, mashed turnip, 1 cup
soft bread crumbs'', 2 tsps. sugar,
salt, pepper, nutmeg, 2 eggs, beaten,
% cup milk, 1 tbsp. butter.
Combine turnip, bread crumbs. Add
sugar, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Stir
in eggs andmilk and pour into grecs=
ed baking dish. Dot with butter and
bake in electric oven at 350 deg. for
25 mins.

Sugar
There is no hope for any increase
in the regular ration of sugar or in
the canning sugar allocation for this
year,. according to W. Harold Mc-
Phillips,, prices and supply repre-
sentative for Western Ontario,
Mr. McPhillips explained that when
sugar was first rationed it was be-
cause of the transportation difficul-
ties, but that now it is because of the
world shortage of sugar. Canada
imports four-fifths of her sugar. This
she obtains from a world under an

There are 37 different fruits and

from the United States, where in
most cases no ceiling has been fixed.
But if it has, the Canadian importer's.
price is based on the OPA ceiling.

Mr. McPhillips explained that these
orders to protect the consumer are
the result of work of the "Standards
Section" ufider the direction of Dr. R.
T. Elworthy. For several months
Dr. Elworthy and his assistans have
carried on research work particularly
in textiles and clothing, and Mr. Mc-
Phillips suggested that the tags and

plaints.
Donald Egener on Leavens

Of special local interest is• the
fact that on the Leavens Bros: staff
is Donald E. Egener, well known in

'formerly of this town. Donald ob-
wined a private pilot's license in

aviation in the succeeding years he
took a course in law and was called
