Zurich Herald, 1947-02-27, Page 6CHRONICLES GINGR, FARM By Gwendoline P. Clarke ' There is one thing that town and country folk alike in England, Europe and the North American continent all have in common these days and that is the weather„ We read .about it, think about it, talk about it. And do we worry about it! But of course, how much we worry depends upon the extent to which it affects us. When you have friends over in the Old Conn try and you know that cold stormy weather coupled with a drastic reduction i.i the supply of coal, gas, and electric power, is bound to create a very serious hardship then how can anyone help but be anxious. As if the peo- ple in the British Isles hadn't had • enough to put up with during the war. in Ontario, and right on. the farms, the greatest worry is na- tura'lly blocked .lanes and side - roads. A long lane in summer is an advantage; it keeps the house comparatively free of road dust, but in winter ... it keeps us free of the. baker, the grocery boy, .the Milk truck, visitors and even ped- niers. Bob was determined. he was going to keep our lane open.dur- ing the stormy, weather and, by dint of repeated sbovellings, he managed pretty well for a few days, although the best he could do was drive in as far as the house and then back all the way out again each time he wanted to go to town. Getting the milk cans and the egg crates to the road is quite a job. First the men tried pushing them down the latae on an improv= ised sleigh—just a wider platform • rigged up on a child's hand sleigh. But tht snow got too deep for it to be of much use. Then we thought a toboggan would be, a good idea hut of course there wasn't one in town However, in a few days the harware store had tome come in, so we got one and found it exactly does the trick. Of• course •the car is now left at the road gate and as long as the high- way is 'kept open 'Bob can get back and forth to town,' and in that way keep us supplied with the necessi•' ties of life. I shall be glad when it -will he possible to lay in supplies• in large er quantities like we used to.' It f3 a good ^thing,• in tire country;• to stock e up for the winter. Just., think how .• nice ir• will • be to buy sugar by the 100 -pound bag again!. R. Print — Feb. 11 —. Warmingtott However, there . are some advan' tages •to• buying in small quantities: T realised that the other day when I opened a half -pound 'packet of tea for which I had paid'45 cents. :I was sure glad•we hadn't got ten' pounds 'of that stuff. Really' the• taste and smell of that tea 'was awful and something floated • on top of the water that looked like dust. I. tried making a second lot and the result was just the same. We simply. couldn't drink it—and it .was the first time we have ever had that happen. There didn't seem much sense in taking it back to the store — how could they know what the tea was like? So I looked up the address of the wholesale house and sent the tea back to them. The ac- companying letter was not one' of complaint, but of inquiry. For one reason .I felt sure there had been. slip-up somewhere and that the company would prefer to know • about it. After all it was their re- putation at stake—all we stood to lose was half a pound of tea. 1 wish it were possible, and as easy, to send back the coal we bought last fall! To. call it coal is stretching the point. Black chunks ' of brick and 'stone would be nearer the mark. About 50 per cent comes out of the ashpan as solid. as when , it went into the firebox.. That is, when it shakes down — and that .. is our inain worry, Very often, it , doesn't,. and the fire has to be Iet out in order to pry loose the chunks.•'of stoney coal that have wedged themselves between the • grates. • By the time a person has• done a few acrobatic stunts by climbing halfway into the furnace and getting absolutely blackened , in the process — tempers are in- clinedto be a little short and pa- tience `at the zero mark. It will be. a great day when the tradespeople and manufacturers are brck on a competitive basis. Well, Bob is backto dinner again so I suppose we shall hear the latest storm news. He is doing an. overhaul' job to his -•truck down- town so, we don't see very ,much ,of, .him, except at meal -tinge, when, ,lie' ,. comes hack like a horning pigeon. Canada's Trade Canada bad a trade of more than four billion dollars last,year, nearly half of which was • in exports, 40 per cent going to the 'United Icing iioni. We shall thus have a, strong argument and an authoritative voice at the tfade meetings... The Bumming bird's wings, be- lieved to be the fastest gloving things in Nature, vibrate 12,000 tittles per tttinute.

TA LE TALKS * Hoti f The Griddle With Lent approaching many homemakers all across Canada are wishing for new ideas for meatless dishes. This brings up the subject of pancakes and waffles as main dishes, thus adding variety to the fish, egg, cheese, cereal or vegetable dishes usually on the menus for meatless days. Buckwheat pancakes or galettes are browned only on one side. 'When the top surface is dry they are lifted front the pan, lightly spread wiih butter, rolled and sere= ed hot. Each person dips his ga- tette in either molasses, maple oe corn syrup. Many people like some brown sugar spread on the galette before it is rolled thus .eliminating the dipping in syrup. •,The home economists of the Consumer Section' of the Doniin on Department of, Agriculture suggest these recipes for pancakes. Buckwheat Pancakes b cups buckwheat flour • 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon bakiag soda 2 cups cold water Mix together buckwheat flour, salt and baking soda. Gradually add cold water and beat until smooth. Heat heavy frying pan, and drop a large spoonful of pancake mix- ture in pan, spreading the mixture with the spoon 'to make a pancake of about 4" by 6". Cook until all traces of whitish =cooked batter have disappeared. Lift from p .n,' spread with batter, roll arid` dip in molasses. Six servings, allowing 3 to 4 pancakes per person. Pancakes (French Style) 2 eggs . 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder • Dash of salt 1/ cups milk 1/ cups water Fat for frying Beat eggs well. Mix and sift flour, baking powder and salt and add alternately with milk and wa- ter to the eggs. Beat until smooth. Heat heavy frying pan, add a lit- tle fat and pour in about 3 table- spoonfuls of the pancake' mixture. Tilt the frying pan quickly from side to side to spread the mixture so that it almost covers the pan and makes the. pancake very thin and lacy. When under side is gold-.. en brown and 'edges . crisp, turn pancake and brown other side. Six servings. allowing 3 to 4 packages, 6" in diameter, per ,person.
