The Seaforth News, 1955-04-14, Page 2Here's a new idea for making a pot roast even tastier than usual. At least it was new to me up to a week or so ago; but I've tried it and it was so good that I hasten to pass it along, * * * To make a pot roast "deelici- sus," Mrs. Alice Macdonald, Des Moines, Iowa, recommends sea- soning it with a can of onion soup. "No other seasoning need be added," she says. "Brown meat all over when cooking on top of stove and add enough hot water to start the 'coking. Add the onion soup; simmer for several hours; watch and add a little more water, if ,seeded. When the meat 's done and ten- der, the liquid should be in the meat and not in the Dutch oven I" t • Ever taste a rich yellow cheese cake, the way they serve it in Vienna? If not, you've really been missing something 1 Here's how you go about making it, VIENNA CHEESE CAKE For the Pastry: V4 poundself-raising flour 3 oences butter (f; tablespoons) 3 ounces sugar 1 tablespoon olive oil ata cup milk Pinch of salt Mix flour, sugar, and salt, and sub in the butter; add oil and milk, mix to smooth dough, Roll out just over a quarter -inch thick, and line a greased baking pan (about. 10x10xI inch).

Six times the batting champ of the No- tional League, he's carved a career average of .344, batted .330 in 1954. F. (You may want to sprinkle 2 tablespoons sultanas over filling before baking.) * * 4 Several other cheese pie re- cipes call for either zwieback or graham cracker crusts, but this one calls for a dough mixture in which there is a little grated lemon rind and sugar.

(Boa) Farming is a way of life and time was when it was the free - est way of life open to any man willing to accept the physical hardship connected with it. As soon as a man owned an honest piece of land, he was in the posi- tion to set up house and raise a family on the product of his toil. With God's help, he pro- duced enough to trade some of his surplus on the open market for manufactured and processed goods, most of which were im- ported duty-free. In those days, the farmer sold his product and bought his necessities at prices which were regulated by supply and demand, as well as com- petition, Protection for Industry With a rapidly growing popu- lation, more and more manu- facturing industries sprang up all over the country. Many of them were financially too weak to stand up against the com- petition of older and more ex- perienced manufacturers in other countries. Soon the demand rose for protection of these new under- takings by the imposition of custom duties on imported goods. Succeeding governments complied with the wishes of the industrialists, with the result that the farmer had to pay prices artificially h e 1 d higher than those of the world market. But still he had to soli everything that he produced at prices over which he had no control. Time and again the farmers revolted a g a i n s t conditions which threatened to make them hewers of wood and drawers of water. The Grange, Patrons of Husbandry, United Farmers of Tates Like Ca dy, But— Gone are the days when medicine was forced down the throats of unwilling children, thanks to modern research and the children themselves. 'Youngsters like five-year-old Susan Shoemaker, above, have been helping researchers at Pfize r Pharmaceutical Laboratories determine which flavours children prefer for their medicine. Susan samples a spoonful of flavoured medicine (left) and gives her verdict — apparently it's de licious at right. Researchers conducting these tests have discovered red to be the favour ite colour, with raspberry topping the flavour choices. SE SE{ 4 SE .. VON PILLS Ontario, Progressives, C -opera- tive Commonwealth Federation, Federation of Agriculture, and now the Farmers Unions, are all attempts to do co-operatively what the farmer could not do for himself individually, viz., bring him parity of status in society, and an equitable share in the national income. Production Efficiency On the other hand, there have always been those who opposed all co-operative action in the economic and political field and advocated concentration of ef- fort on production efficiency. The reasoning usually was that the farmer is no business man, that he should look after his land and stock and leave the marketing of his products to the "experts." The argument that all would be well as long as farmers would produce a quality pro- duct at low cost, is specious for the simple reason that the farmer has no control over a large part of his production costs and that the best product will not bring a profitable return if the price is set onesidedly by the buyer. Marketing Efficiency Production efficiency will not get the expected results unless it is accompanied by marketing efficiency. Over the last fifty years, a new system has de- veloped, characterized by Big- ness. In every branch of manu- facturing and processing, many small companies have disappear- ed by merging with others. Today, practically every field is dominated by a few big cor- porations, which by their sheer size and wealth control markets and prices, especially if they combine their forces. The answer, of course, is co- operative marketing of farm products through provincial and national marketing b o a r d s whose members are to be elect- ed by the producers and not appointed by governments. x r * This column welcomes criti- cism, suggestion's and questions, whether in the form of brick- bats or bouquets. Address mail to Bob Von Pills, Whitby, Ont. Some Mouthful Isis, the dog belonging to the Lueneburger Heath police force, in Western Germany, is the only dog in the world with a set of artificial teeth. While Isis was going over her exercises, which include "arrest- ing" a wrongdoer, she broke several teeth biting on a stiff sleeve. "Only a denture can save her," said the vet. The loss of teeth can mean for a police dog the end of its career. So poor Isis had her proper share of all the torture which humans undergo when in the dentist's chair. A dental mechan- ic made a plaster cast. For ten days Isis was very ill. But now she is up and about again, fit as a fiddle, her muzzle filled with gleaming "ersatz" teeth. Neither the veterinary surgeon or the dentist accepted any pay - m e n t for treatment and den- tures, "It was an honour,' they said. Girl Tenor Singer Anita Vezzani has one of the most beautiful singing voices in France. But no opera house will give her a part. Reason — she has a tenor voice. Now in her early twenties, Anita is the daughter of one of the most famous tenors of his day, Cesar Vezzani. Her mother, too, was a well-known soprano. But Anita had the misfortune to inherit her father's, not her mother's voice. Even her face measurements are the same as her father's down to One-hun- dredth of an inchl As an overawed chi 1 d, she never dared to sing before her mother, Agnes Borgo. But when Anita was 15, she plucked up enough courage to do so. Agnes Borgo listened. Then her face tensed with surprise. "What a peculiar voice you have get!" she cried. In the years that followed doctors and voice 'trainers trled their utmost to r a i s e Anita's voice by an octave but they were unsuccessful. Dangerous Monster Iceberg Adrift A colossal iceberg estimated to be more than 1,700 square miles in area — about the biggest ever reported — was seen recently by the U.S. ice -breaker Atka drift- ing northwards in the Antarctic. It is believed to have broken off from the Antarctic continent some time in January. Just now many 'bergs break away from the great ice cap of the north. The International Ice Patrol, inaugurated as a direct result of the Titanic disaster, is getting busy tracking and des- troying them. They are destroyed by mines exploded under them or by gun- fire. But sometimes a 'berg is so_ delicately balanced that the touch of a man's hand can upset it. This delicate poise is caused by the constant rays of the sun on the exposed part and the corro- sive action of the salt water an the submerged part. Icebergs that sometimes men- ace the shipping lanes in spring often w ei g h 2,00Q,000, tons or more. Seven -eighths of a 'berg's mass is below water. Some 'bergs rise above the water three times higher than St. Paul's Cathedral. In the spring of 1841 a grue- some sight was seen by watchers off the coast of St. John's, New- foundland; a gigantic iceberg in the centre of which, embedded between two hills of ice, were tow ships with no living being in them and their masts gone. The ships had been missing for years. When a ship hits an iceberg the impact usually takes place below the water -line. That is why the ships founder with such tragic swiftness. Luckily such disasters are now extremely rare. Sometimes a ship which strikes a 'berg manages to limp home as did the liner Arizona in 1879 alter colliding with a white mon- ster about 250 miles east of St, John's, Newfoundland. Many of the 500 passengers were flung from their berths and half-clad men, women and chil- dren made for the boats, con- vinced that the liner was sink- ing. The 'berg had made a gaping wound 20 feet wide in the liner, but although everything fragile aboard had been smashed, not a single human life had been lost. "You have the most magnifi- cent tenor voice -box I have ever seen," a famous throat special- ist told her. Anita says there are prece- dents for giving tenor roles to women. But France's producers refuse to see it that way — yet.
