THE CLINTON NEWS -RECORD PAGE 7 HOUSEHOLD ECONOMICS HEALTH To Shut -Ins While addressing his congregation recently a minister chose "service"' as his theme: How Are You? Aslooked around that comp - A HEALTH SERVICE OF THE CANADIAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION AND, LIFE !INSURANCE COM.ANIES SN, CANADA one any .of ,listeners the wonder grew as to what kind of service they could be occupied with. There were as- sembled in that auditorium patients in beds, in wheel chairs; those sup- ported by crutches and canes; those whose ears had been stopped; and those to whom the beauties of this world have been forever shut 'out by blindness; in fact, a great many of the ills that the human body is heir to were exemplified in those who had been brought there. Yet the minister knowing all this spoke on "service". His message was "stand still" or in other words "They also serve who only„stand and wait." What a wond- erful lesson! The "also" in that verse brings every living human be- ing in line for service. While the great war went on thousands of our men and women en- gaged in the service. There were those who by sickness or through some other cause were compelled to stay at hone; At that tune the gov • ernment issued a form for home ser- vice, tints giving evety'dne an op- portunity to serve in some capacity. Some were able to help only with their prayers. The late Dr. J. A. McDonald, form- erly editor of the Globe in address- ing a graduating class of nurses, • -spoke to then on the service of that particularprofession, exemplifying the service of love. That service no matter how disabled we may be, we can give. This article today is seat out more particularly to those who have been •set aside through illness, to those who trust only "stand and wait". Some perhaps are bitter because • God has allowed invalidism to conte 'upon them, but just count your many blessings, look about you and see the multitude of people who are worse off than you are, those who are en- during more. pain than you are, and those 'who have hoot the attention that you had. , 'Did it ever emus to you that per- haps you should feel sorry for those who have to wait on you? Maybe their task in serving is harder than yours in just standing and waiting. You can make it pleasant for them by being cheerful, or you can create misery for then as well as 'your- self by your impatience. God has left you in the world for some purpose. Ask Him to show you just how you may help on His work and then proceed to do it. Let us all stand and wait for the still small voice which . directs us, sick or well, as to how we can best serve Hien and when we hear that Voiee of Direction pray that He will. help us to follow it. HANDICAPPED ' "The world's greatest men have been handicapped men, Yet their ' obstacles served but to lend, Patience, courage and zest to the battle 'gainst odds, And brave purpose win to the end. But not always the ones deemedthe. greatest of earth, Can compare with some brave, hid- den 'soul Toiling on to achieve something noble and true Though he fails: ere he reaches his goal. When life's struggles are o'er, and God's 'balances. weigh, The worth ofour labors unknown There will be many last whom:.the world voted first, ' -.And each toiler will come to his own, ' PEG ,:, If the subject of conversation' is an indication of interest in the sub- ject, then, without doubt, health comes first in public interest, since the question mot frequently asked is -Hew Are You? What is your answer today, and ' what ip it going to be in the future?'. Are you making things pleasant for yourself and for those; with ,whom' you live and work, because you are happy with the joy of good health, or are you one of those depressing persons who demand .sympathy. be cause he looks so miserable? It is surprising how much of ill - health is due to neglect of those es- sentials which can easily be secured by most people and which do not cost money. The' proper kind of food costs no more than the wrong kind, Fresh air and sunshine are to be had for the asking. 'Sleep is not. for sale; it means a proper bed -time. Exercise rest and cleanliness can usually be secured by making a reasonable ef- fort. . These are the factors upon which personal health pe largely depends. They are under our own control; no- body can help us very much in se- curing them. If we want to enjoy health, we cannot neglect them. Too many late dances which take up the time for sleep; too much diving in artificial light and not enough sunlight; too many sweets between meals spoiling the appetite for proper food; indoor parties in stead of outdoor exercise, are some of the common reasons for ill health, In addition to neglecting them- selves, many persons are, in other ways, particularly careless as regards the health of others. They cough land sneeze without covering the nose and mouth; they talk right into your face; they kiss the baby on the mouth. In fact, they do about ev- erything they can to spread to ev- ,eryone they chance to meet any dis- lease germs which may be present in their nose and throat. 1 Many are also careless of them- selves in disregarding the limits within which they may expect their bodies to function normally. The human body can stand up under a great deal of wear and tear, but, beyond certain limits, it begins to break. It is a matter of compos sense to keep within the limits. Suc- cess is empty which is gained at the expense of a wrecked body, Health without wealth is preferable to wealth without health. Ontario Can Produce All Varieties of Nuts. The growing of nuts will become a profitable industry on the Six Na- tions Reserve in the Brantford dist- rict, istrict, if expected developments of a visit by a party from Osweken to EOM Valley 'mature.' Under sponsor- ship of the Toronto council of the Indian Association of America, .a. group, of Indians visited the Echo Valley nut plantation of Geo. H. Cor- son to receive instructions and mat- erial which may grow abundantly on the reserve, into a paying enterprise. While at the :plantation the Indians were shown by Mr Corson how to graft scions from the English walnut tree to their, black walnut trees so they night produce the superior English variety. "There isn't a nut growing in the northern half of the world that can't be . grown right here in. Canada," said Mr. Corson, "and the •sooner•the. farmers of this country realize that we can createa good market 'supply here the better it will be for Canada.." Mr. Corson has about 20 varieties of Ants growing on his expansive property. ROUND RIP BARGAIN F.S. C FR,L & .

In Which to Live LETTER NO. 8 I feel Whet ytthe publishers !of Canada's weekly newspapers can make a lasting and worthwhile con- tribution ontribution towards' making Canada a better place in which to live, and work by endeavouring in their col- umns " to build up a real apprecia- tion of Canadian institutions and re- sources. .I know from practical ex- perience how many -men in later life hold prominent positions in the bus- iness, financial and professional worlds, who have come from the rural districts. It seems to me that the home newspapers of those dist- ricts, amongst the first periodicals which young people read, can build into the hearts and minds of their younger readers a clear understand- ing of the worth of our national heritage, and leave with them some- thing which they will never lose in later life. I cannot help but deplore the flood of foreign periodicals, many of them second-rate editor- ially, which is corning into Canada at this time. It seems to me if we are ever to build Canada into the na- tion, to which we so often refer, we must .start by building good Canad- ian citizens. I cannot think of a bet- ter place for this to start than in the 'columns of Canada's weekly newspapers. I would enjoy discus- sing this with you sometime when we can have a chance' to sit down together. Yours very truly, B. W. KEIGHTLEY, President, Association of Canadian Advertisers.

Fish Cookery Expert Suggests Some "Bont'S" Negatives and positives both have their places in household manage- ment and here are some of the fish cookery negatives suggested by one of the trained women attached to the staff of the Dominion Department of Fisheries as lecturer-demonstrat- ors:- Don't ecturer-demonstrators:Don't buy on price alone when pur- chasing supplies for the table. Think of food value, too.. Fish is rich in nutritive and health value. Don't buy just enough fish for one meal. It is more economical in the long run to buy, say, one-third more; then there will be a base left for a second meal and the average cost of the two will be reduced. Don't buy fish which has a strong fishy smell. There is some natural odour to. fish but if it's strong the fish is not as fresh es, it should be. Incidentally, a merchant who offers fish in that condition to his custom- ers doesn't know his business or else his standards of business conduct aren't what they should be, Don't wash fish after` the skin is off -just wipe it well with a damp cloth or paper. Don't be stingy with the salt when Cooking fish, use plenty. Don't forget that over -cooking is l•trhaps . the most common mistake. ,n fish cookery. Guard against it. Iender fish tissues require little cooking. Don't use too : much fat in the cook- ing. It makes the fish harder to di gest. Don't throw away the liquid, from canned fish. Use it with the fish, Don't throw away the bones of canned fish. Crush them up -they're very soft -and nix them with the fish They contain . minerals the human body needs, Don't use son when first washing the hands after handling fish. Rinse them 'in hot water but ase salt in- stead, of soap. This will remove any fish smell. • Farm stocks of potatoes in Canada on March 31, ;. 1988, amounted to 13,878,000 cwts., as compared with 10,482,000 cwts in 1987, an increase of almost 3,400,000 cwts. , i The Many Uses of a Newspaper Newspapers are used for other things than reading or wrapping .par- eels. You all know that printing ink' acts as a deterrent to moths, but do you act on that knowledge and wrap up your blankets and clothing in newspapers before putting them away for the summer? Newspapers laid under a cocoanut matting cateh the dust and dirt, which can be gathered up and de- stroyed rather than add to the labor, of scrubbing and polishing the floors. There are occasions when the wind- shield wiper of a: car will not work. Wad a newspaper and rub the wind- shield with it. The rain will run, straight off, instead of clinging to the glass. The same dry wad of news- paper will give a brilliant polish to mirrors. If you wrap a newspaper around a jug of ice -water twisting the ends 'together to exclude the air you will find that the water remains cool all night, with scarcely any melting of the ice. Newspapers tied into knots will keep your fires go- ing just as well as wood. Any sev- eral sheets of newspapers wrapped around the body on a long journey will keep: you quite comfortable and warm.

THE SPRUCE TREE I am a spruce tree tall and strong; Over my Branches all day long The blackbirds hop and the red squirrels run, And the chipmunks chatter and chirp in fun. I am a spruce tree wide and green; Birds in my branches hide unseen; My cones are treasures of tempting seed, In their winter garner, the squir- rels to feed. I am a spruce tree white with snow; Over my head the tempests blow, But warm and green are my arms to care For the birds when maples and elms are bare.

I' HAVE A RENDEZVOUS WITH DEATH • I have a rendezvous with Death At some disputed barricade, When Spring comes round with rust- ling shade And apple blossoms fill the air. I have a rendezvous with Death When Spring brings back blue days and fair. It may be he shall take my hand And lead me into his dark land And close my eyes and quench my breath; It may be I shall pass hint still, Romantic Origin of Fried Chicken Utility and sentiment were blended at the recent banquet of the First Poultry Promotion Congress held un- der theauspices of the Quebec Pro- vincial .Committee of the Canadian Pr•oduoe Association at Montreal. Not only did fried chicken prove the masterpiece of the menu. but Mons. Thomas, chef of the Mount Royal Hotel who fried them, was asked to give an address on the value and ut- ility of poultry on the dinner table. Poultry, said M. Thomas, provides one of the dishes most, pleasing to the general'taste, and, in giving the recipe for fried chicicen as served at the banquet, related aninteresting storyof the ttaffitedchicken. The story is the legend of "Chicken Saute Marengo." On June 14, 1800, 'nst 138 years ago, Napoleon Bona- parte in one of his lightning strokes defeated the Austrians at Marengo and in celebration of hie victory . in- vited his 'leading'generals to dinner that evening. Unfortunately the field kitchen had been unable to keep pace, with the rapid advance, although Napoleon's chef, Dunant, in a light van, had pressed forward with the staff. The van, however, was not provisioned and Dunant' was faced with an al- most unsurntountable problem. Nap- oleon had said, dinner, and dinner there would' have to be. Dunant spied a farm house in the distance and at once dispatched two battle -scarred soldiers of Napoleon's escort to see what' they could find The old sold- iers were, hand put,to it but they managed to waylay three wandering ehickens and gather a few rare tom- atoes and a bunch of garlic. With these materials Napoleon's ebef had to upheld his reputation and comply with the Imperial order. The chickens were hastily killed, plucked and cut into pieces. Mean- while oil was being heated on an improvised stove,' and in no time the pieces of chicken were browning and simmering. With a few drops of brandy sprinkled on top, the dinner was served and was highly. praised by Napoleon and his staff. Thus, was instituted Chicken Saute Marengo. "Today", said M. Thomas, "we make cltieken Marengo.' a little different fromthe. original; partieularly;in the garnishing of the dish,: but the an- ecdote shows how it is possible for country hotel keepers, who leave no refrigeratiog 'system with which to keep dressed poultry fresh, to tur to live poultry from the barnyard When unexpected guests arrive." Exports of fresh apples from Can ada j:o Belgium, in 1937 (10,505 quint- als) were approximately six times as large as in 1936. • I have a rendezvous with Death On some scarred slope of battered Rill, When Spring comes round again this year I i{I And the first meadow flowers appear.

CANADIAN MOUNTS With arrows on their quarters and with numbers on their hoofs, With the trampling sound of twenty that re-echoes in the roofs, Low of crest and dull of coat, wan and wild of_ eye, Through our English village the Canadians go by, Shying at a passing cart, swerving at a car Tossing up an anxious, head to flaunt a Snowy star, Racking at a 'Yankee gait, reaching at the rein, Twenty raw Canadians are tasting life again!. Hollow -necked and hollow flanked, lean of rib and hip Strained and sick and weary with the walioiv of the. ship, Glad to smell the turf again, hear the robins call, Tread again the country road they lost at Montreal, Fate may bring them duel ,and woe; better steeds than they Sleep beside the Englishguns a hundred leagues away; But till _ war hath need of them lightly Iie their reins, Softly fall the feet of then along the English lanes, -Will H. Ogilvie.
