Zurich Herald, 1947-02-13, Page 3• CHRONICLES OF I U. S. Diplomat GINGER FARM By Gwendoline P. Clarke I am afraid my family has a joke against me that will take me a long, long time to live downl It all came about from an incident that, in itself, was anything but funny. As everyone knows, there has bees. plenty of ice to worry us these last few weeks and the foot- inggikhas been treacherous in the extreme. Partner got along very well for about a week and then one morning he fell, right at the stable door. How he got to the house I don't know, but, presently, there he was, inside the kitchen, and of course, very white and shaken, beads of perspiration stand- ing out on his forehead. After get- ting him settled comfortably on the couch, it occurred to me that a spot of whiskey was probably just what he needed. For the last two years we have kept a small quantity in the home for just such emergencies but this was the first time the flask had seen the light of day. * * "How much shall I give him?" That naturally was my first thought. I really hadn't the faint- est notion but I did remember that liquor taken on an empty stomach was not too good. Naturally all I wanted was to relieve the shock condition from which Partner was obviously suffering and also to pre- vent him from taking a -chill — I didn't want to make him drunk. So, very carefully I measured out one tablespoonful of whiskey and added to it one tablespoonful of water. (Now you may laugh!) Partner took it without question. But afterwards, when he was feel- ing somewhat better — as a re- sult of the bracer, of course — he said — "How much whiskey did you give me?" r told him — and I haven't been allowed to forget it since. If he doesn't feel so well he says another good shot of whis- key might help him. If he is feel- ing better he says it must be be- cause of that good dose I gave him. Well, maybe that will be one for the record for our temperance frien ds. * * * So, that is the funny side of the. picture. If only that were all. Un- fortunately Partner still has plenty of aches and pains which are any- thing but funny. However, I am sure we should really, be very thankful because although Partner Is just about as sure; and stiff :as he can be—having landed right on the small of his back — there are no bones broken. Bob, of course, has plenty of e*tra work to do at the barn as a result, and I am getting a kink in my shoulder from the unaccustomed massaging and rubbing. But all that doesn't mean Partner is in bed. Oh no—not that man. He is out at the barn as usual, doing a little less and tak- ing longer to do what he does, but on the job just the same. And do you know what? I have actually found the bottom of my mending basket. It took some do-. ing, believe me, but I stayed right with it, and now I feel as if I had won a terrific fight or some- thing. * * * Isn.„t it a.. pod thing that almost every day brings with it a variety of good and bad news; good for- tune and misfortune. No day is ever all had and seldom is one all good. Take today, for instance. The weather is depressing, to say the least — rain, ice under foot and fog. And then the official an- nouncement over the radio of price increases in shoes, cars and restaur- ant meals which gives one the feel- ing of being in a runaway train without a driver. But then we get the mail — and there are two let- ters from England. Grandma re- ceived her flowers on Christmas Day; friend Cicely her cable and both were surprised and delighted with the parcels that arrived in- tact. In Grandma's parcel we in- cluded a cat. of mincemeat. They wondered how they could make rnincepies without lard. But the next day came a parcel from Part- ner's brother in Australia and in it a pound oil lard. Cicely spoke of having received a parcel from an unknown friend in Vancouver and how pleased she and her fain- ily were to have it. I suppose it must have been sent by some or- ganization sponsoring parcels for Britain. Anyway, the letters were so cheery and appreciative for the little that we on this side of the Atlantic do for our friends over there, that they completely dis- pelled my sense of gloom occa- sioned by bad weather and rising prices. Partner says: "Well, no matter how badly we feel at times, it doesn't 'look as if we are likely to drown our sorrows in drink.” Ten thousand locomotives, built between 1015 and 1030, are now being modernized in workshops here. to ra HORIZONTAL VERTICAL 1,6 Pictured U.

This is a good way to have fresh rolls without going to the trouble of mixing dough each time ffesit rolls are required.

FOR 1 COUGH' YOU CAN'T BEAT URE gi•s L Li4 4i ---- — By BARRY MURKAR In The Spotlight Winning first prize hi the Pro- ( -jai junior Farmers final con- test in public speaking and ama- teur entertainment in Toronto last week has brought acclaim to Fran- cis Willson of Brougham, Ontario, Francis, a young man of 21, com- peted againsa five other speakers of the province after first winning the contest of Ontario County, then in 'the district of six counties, and going on to win in the finals which consisted of five. zones. He re- ceived a silver cup and cake plate as first prize for his speech on "The Place ,,f the Church in Our Na- tion". He received considerable mention on the CBC farm broad- cast the following day and the next evening appeared as the guest of the noted commentator, Rex Frost, and gave his speech over the air, Since that time he has been be- seiged with requests to speak at gatherings. "I woulc like to go out speaking every night of the week, if I could." he told your reporter. This wasn't the `irst time Fran- cis had won a public speaking con- test—oh, my not He gave his first speech when he was eight years old. Speaking at school fairs first brought recognition; then he won the Pickering Township oratorical contest two years in succession. He spoke at several of the Women's Institute contests and at the On- tario County seeds fairs. In over fourteen public speaking contests, Francis has won all but one, when he took second place, which we think is a remarkable record. As prizes he has won two silver cups, two silver cake plates, money and any number of fine books. An active young man, he is at present the president of the On- tario County' Junior Farmers.

All the horses were purchased by the Dominion Department of Agriculture. Gandhi's Yule Molrandas K. Gandhi does not play cards, he does not smoke and he is bald. At Christmas time Gandhi open- ed a Christmas package from the Friends Service Union, a Christian relief work organization, composed of American, British and Indian Christians. The gifts included a deck of cards, some 'American cigarettes, a comb and shaving sett vince in this work. His position this year demands that he conduct all county meetings; which makes him a very busy young man. It's a pleasure_ this week to turn tile spotlight on Francis Willson of Brougham, Ontario. * * '. We pass this on,. along, because we feel that teeners, the same as everyone else, like a little praise once in a while. The other night I attended a Rotary Club meeting at which a 'young man was the guest speaker. He was good. His manner was direct and he pulled no punches. Following the address, the president of the club, a middle- aged man, in thanking the speaker, told the other members that he felt young people of today were making a firm foothold for them- selves in today's society. "They don't talk the way we older people do," he said, "but they make them- - selves heard and if you listen you will realize that what they have to say is well thought out and well worth' hearing." Nice to hear. eh? * * * I -n closing, me friendlies, 1 would ask again that if anyone has a person in mind for our Spotlight send along the details. We want news of your club.
