The Seaforth News, 1953-04-09, Page 2FA8LE eiav AA .dDews With the new maple syrup erop just about dtte—I hope, I hope, I hope—a few hints about the other half of one of the world's most delicious combina- tions might not be amiss. I refer to pancakes of course—as if you hadn't guessed! 5 ,. Check your procedure on the following points — they're all highly important. • Measure ingredients carefully. If you use a prepared mix, pleas. ore it into the mixing bowl but do not sift or pack. • Add liquid and stir only until the flour is moistened, Small lumps in the batter will come out in the baking. • Grease the griddle only light- ly, If the griddle is properly sea- soned, pancakes will not stick. • Test griddle for correct tem- perature. When a drop of water will bounce for a second before evaporating, the griddle is just hot enough, • For even cooking and uni- form -sized cakes, pour the pan- cake batter from a measuring cup rather than spooning it onto the griddle. To make a 411I -inch cake, use 1/4 cup of medium -thick batter for each cake. • Bake on one side until bubbles begin to break and edges become dry. Turn only once. • Serve while hot, Covering the cakes and letting them stand may make them soggy. Use one of the many good pan- cake mixes from your grocer's shelves, or try these ever -so -good sour -milk pancakes, raised buck- wbeats, oatmeal griddle cakes, and cottage -cheese pancakes. a *x 5 SOUR -MILK PANCAKES 21S Cups Sifted Flour 1 Teaspoon Soda 5s Teaspoon Salt 1 Tablespoon Sugar (optional) 2 Cups Sour Milk 1 Egg, Beaten 1 Tablespoon Melted Shortening 1.

This memorable document was signed by the presidents of the Ontario Cheese Producers As- sociation, the Ontario Cream Producers Association, the On- tario Concentrated Milk Produc- ers Association, the Ontario Federation of Agriculture and the Ontario Whole Milk Produc- ers League. Innnediately the question aris- es as to who authorized these gentlemen to ask for what amounts to an admission of dairy substitutes made from veget- able oils, as long as no milk or milk products were used in their manufacture. We renumber meeting after meeting, lesolution after reso- lution calling for a ban of dairy substitutes .made from veget- able oils. Farmers were told by the presidents and directors of their 0reanizatlona t0 protest against the introduction of imi- tations of ice-cream and cheese and whipping cream. Were they ever told to go and ask for the admission of these imitations? t564 Questions Could rt be possible that this Brief was written to fit the legislation proposed by the gov- ernment? Could it be possible that the farm leadere were asked not to demand more than would be granted? Could it be possible that the train leaders decided not to em- barrass the government and therefore nut to stand up for the demands 5,,f the producers they repreent? These and many more are the questions farmers will want to ask their leaders. They will want to ask why there were no replies to the dis- torted argumentation of the advertisements and radio an- nouncements sponsored by • the so-called "Institute of Edible Oil Foods" •shioh were misrepre- senting the situation; they will want to ask when the Brief of March 18th actually was pre- sented to the government, whether it was conceived of in Huron Street or in Queens Park: whether there had been a previous brief ar,d what the gov- ernment's reply had been to it. - And finally they will want to ask their leaders why they - had not called meetings to in- form the membership and find out the wishes of the members. What Future? How much longer are Ontario farmers going to sit at home as d squawk about the raw deal they are getting? It is time that they awoke to the necessity of look- ing after the business end of their business. Important as production is, it is just as — if not more — ,important to have a market for what you produce. The question whether imita- tions of dairy products, with or without the addition of milk, are to be permitted, is of far-reach- ing importance, It will deter- mine milk markets for all future. To replace butterfat with veg- etable oils is easy. To replace the non -fatty solids of milk is a more difficult task, but it is be- ing done in Britain and in U.S.A. The result might well be imi- tations of dairy products made from vegetable oils with other synthetic solids added. Time for a Change Farm leaders should have stuck by their guns and demand- ed a ban of all imitations of milk and milk products, except- ing margarine. Whether they could have got it or not, they should have tried. Individual farmers will for- feit the right to complain, if they do not go to the trouble of keep- ing themselves informed, of coining out to their meetings and Strange Ideas Folks Have About Washington Washington, like every other capital, is full of rumors. More than that, it is a funnel fox' rum- ors from all over the country— of the oldest, most heavily beard- ed and venerable rumors in hu- man experience. Sinde eitizens keep on seeking action on them, Government . agencies have to keep on denying them. The latest to turn up again— just the other day—was the ac- cusation that among the Smith- sonian itstitution's most prized possessions was the skull of the famous Sioux chieftain, Sitting Bull, conqueror of Gen. George Custer. Dr. T. Dale Stewart, the Smithsonian's Curator of Physi- cal Anthropology, replied that the Institution had never pos- sessed Sitting Bull's skull, but that his records showed that the chief was buried in Fort Yates, N. D„ where his grave had been an object of veneration for years. Here are some other peren- nially unscotchable rumors: Stuffed Cat. Many visitors to the Smithsonian seek the mount- ed remains of the tabby cat that allegedly survived a drop from the top' of the Washington Monu- rt%nt,»only to be killed by a dog OSSA stied to make its gateway They _i,,ave become more insist- ent recently, since a syndicated columnist revived the yarn and stated as a+ fact that the animal had a preferred place among the exhibits in the famed museum. It isn't so. Free Seeds. More than a qua`-' ter of a century 'has passed since the Department of Agriculture gave out its last free seeds, Yet' each year the department still receives several thousand such requests, many of thein forward- ed by Congressmen. In an effort to save useless correspondence the department several years ago issued a humorous booklet about seeds entitled: "No! No! A Thou- sand Tirnes No!" The result: a temporary spurt in the number of free seeds requests. Stradivarius Violins. Whoever of putting up the finances neces- sary to operate their business, which is still the largest busi- ness in the country. They will have to change their habits of non -co-operation, and if necessary they will have to change their leaders. There must be some young men on the farms of Ontario, capable and willing to take the lead. The writer ofthis coiun.0 will be pleased to hear from farmers, or others interested in farm problems, at any tine. Criti- cisms, suggestions for subjects to be dealt with, knocks or boosts — all wins be welcome Just ad- uress Bob Ellis, Box 1, 123 Eight- eenth St. n'`we Toronto, Ont. spread the rumor that the. Smith- sonian Institution would buy or identify as genuine any violin bearing a Stradivarius label has caused the institution more trouble than anything since the controversy over the original flying machine, The Smithsonian,. Which has no violin made by An- tonius Stradivarius •or by any other classic "violin maker, nor any money to buy one, finally prepared a form letter plead- ing: "Do not send your violin to the Smithsonian Institution:" Every Book Published. The ' Library of Congress constantly receives queries about obscure books or pamphlets, prefaced: "I have been told that you have a. copy of every book that has ever been published '" " ," While the Library of Congress has the largest' collection of books in the United States, it has only those sent or bequeathed to it, and it does not keep or cata- logue all the books or other pub- lications it receives. Free ..stands. Someone spread the report that the General Land Office had attractive islands that it would give free, or for the pay- ment of $1, to anyone who asked. Correspondence, which is still considerable, is now routed t0 the Bureau of Land Manage- ment, Interior Department. But every U.S. island, except a few inaccessible rocks, is now in state or private hands: Moon Leases. Most fantastic of recent rumors is that the Gov- ernment can grant a lease on the moon. Since the Nineteen For- ties so many requests have been received for "moon leases" that the Department of Interior fin- ally prepared a standard reply, the gist of which is that its Bureau of Land Management has no authority to receive applica- tions for land on the moon be- cause we have never declared sovereigfity over it.
