Helpful Hints
For Housewives
To shave chocolate finely, ti,e a
potato peeler - it's quicket ' and
better than a knife or grater.

Use a meat -cleaver .and wooden
chopping board for dividing fro/en
food packages. Just chop 'off %shat
you need. Handy when cooking for

Whip cream ahead of time. It
will not separate if you add a touch
of unflavored gelatin. The gelatin
also speeds up whipping.

vection during his lifethnb. His an-
swer eras -the refrigerator! "Be...

amused me because' some women
have to be pretty good at the art
of convincing before. the average

refrigerator make it worth the
Mooney it costs. And that is under-
staudaiile, too, because it isn't the
man of the house' who has to run
up and down the cellar stairs with
the butter, and the milk, and the
little- bit of meat which yoti hope
will keep all right until tomorrow,
But wouldn't it be too bad if ,fine

than that . and then -again,

Courageous Scout -Scout Don Lee, 18, - who has had! no legs
since he was nine months old, beams with pride as his foster
mother pins an Eagle Scout badge on his chest. The youth,.
who lost both legs in an accident 17 years ago, completed ail
'tile tough physical requirements for the badge, including a
14 -mile hike, . Don is saving his money for the trip to the next
Scottt jarulioree.
better policy to tackle a job whicat
was outside a person's ordinary line
of work or hire a person to do it
who had been trained for the job.
The idea steadily gained ground
that it was better economy to hire
an experienced person to do the
job. And it sounds logical. Why
should a man try to fix his car
when . there are mechanics to do
it? Or a farmer spend days, per-
haps, trying to uproot a tree that
a bulldozer could move in fifteen
minutes? Or a woman do her own
paper -hanging when there are ex-
netts for the job? But that isn't tate
way our pioneers worked. In those
days, necessity drove a man to be
a jack-of-all-trades and the only
time he called for help was when a
job was too big for him to handle
alone. Then a community bee was
the obvious answer.
But we Iiave lost that indepen-
dence, and now we are payilug the
price. On every side the hire and
cry goes up -"We can't do this or
that because we can't get help, there
isnn't-a carpenter or plasterer avail,
able for months ahead. Sure, they
promise to rote but that's as far
as it goes."
So I was glad when 1 heard"that
significant little news itent about
these men getting together to build
their own homes; and I was 'glad
when Partner and -Bob took over
this driving shed job themselves
Actually, for that, this grand mild
fall is responsible. Until the field
work was done big repair jobs had
l0 wait. Soit was the time element
that made our 'men feel a carpen-
ter was necessary -not unwilling-
ness or lack of initiative, And I
suppose that is true of many farms,
and the main reason why a lot of
farm buildings are in need of re-
pair. The field work has to be at-
tended to first. However, I am still
not anxious to see my menfolk put
ravestroughing on the barn. A bro-
ken neck would be more. expensive

'1'lte same applies to women and
paper -hanging - or at least for
those who have lost the agility to
balance themselves on a steplad-
der while wrestling with a contrary
piece of ceiling paper. There are -
limitations -and there are also other
lobs to do that help keep down
the high cost of living. You don't
Have to risk breaking your neck
- to make your own aprons and house
dresses, nor to do •your own bak-
ing. And where there are children
. i 1 have said it before, - and 1
say it again, the cost of keeping
children well dressed can be liter-
ally cut in half by mothers snaking
over garments to fit the youngsters.
A little pair of pants for the wee
boy; a play suit or a pretty frock for
sister, can be made for, next to
nothing and will outwear any
ready-made garment bought from
a store. Not only that, whether
what you make or repair is a chick-
en
en pen or an apron, something else
is also gained -a` sense of achieve
tent, that inner sense of satisfac-
tion that comes with 'a job well
done. Yon can't buy it -you can
only earn i5.
Give a pig what it wants when
it grunts, and a child when it cries,
and you will have a fine pig and a
bad child.
