Zurich Herald, 1947-08-21, Page 3A Fond Farewell
To The Beall Btry.
Every so often we heave a long
sigh for the passing of some in-
stitution or individual fondly iden-
tified with "the good, old •clays."
We mourn the vanished quilting
bees and the Little Red School-
house, the noble horse and the old-
time vaudeville. It is about time,
then, that some one paid tribute to
that little -noted but indispensable
farm institution of horse and bug-
gy clays, the small boy, comments
The Daily Times, Watertown.
Time was when the small boy's
services on the farm were univer-
sal, if sometimes unpredictable.
There were stock and hens to feed,
corn to hill, potato bugs to pick,
gardens to weed, and wood to split
and cord up. But mechanization
and scientific method's have dis-
placed these young apprentices,
much to their joy in most instan-
ces:
Feeding is no longer a random
chore but an exact procedure for
the modern 'farmer. Wood has in
many •cases been replaced by coal
or oil fuel. And weeding and spray-
ing are today done on a wholesale
basis. Chemicals such as 2-4-D,
DDT, sulphuric acid, salt brine
and petroleum products can kill
more weeds and bugs in a few
hours than legions of small boys
could handle in days.
* *
Perhaps this means that today'a
farmers will turn from those fan-'
ilies of five or ten children that
once were indispensable. They may
substitute the cold but efficient
laboratory for the nursery. This
poses a question fraught with sig-
nificance for the American Way:
Whence will come those farm
boys,' those great scientists, states-
men, industrialists, whose careers
owed so much to their youthful
environment?
But another view will be taken
by those of us who have labored
long hours in corn or potato fields
under a blazing sun, with the dust
seeping into cur eyes and up our
pant legs. Science did not come
soon enough. We were born 30
years or more too early. .
Skirt Length Takes
Drop of Five Inches
Hiding the feminine knee -cap this
tall is one fashion "must" on which
all designers are agreed. Skirt
length takes a sudden plunge of five
or more inches.
Less unanimous is the aim of
stylists to pull stuffing out of shout-.
eters. Those who' dont yank out all
cushioning modify the size of
shoulder pads.
Coats almost more than any day-
time fashions seen in early pre-
views reflect a prodigal use of yard-
ege. They will envelope the little
woman like a tent. Or will float
fullness behind her like a bridal
veil. Coats swing from yokes or
wrap around with lavish lapovers.
Many wrap-arounds stay put with
the help of a band.
Many new suits owe their sauve
look to broadcloth. With softer
shoulders, longer jackets, plunging
fc,nlines and bandings of fur, such
Hrits strike a new note of elegance.
4letallic or brocade blouses add to
his effect.
You just must hate lot -lifters, so
why not the prettiest ones possible?
Here they are—a pansy, a rose. Jiffy
crochet, and very gay.
Inexpensive to make, practical
plower potholders of rug cotton. Pat-

On recovering you no doubt groan-

like". Well me friendlies, we have
been kidded a lot about that picture

Ain't that a laugh? And I can ac-
count for those dark circles too.
You see, my pop took that picture.
Well, pop gets under that black
sheet and says watch the birdie.
There is a blinding flash, a big
puff of smoke and pop lands six

Australia's Token
Of Empire Loyalty
Australia has had to dive deep
into its citizens' pockets to find
the £20,000,000 that, the Common-
wealth has presented as a free gift
to Britain. Australia has a small-
er population than London, and
420,000,000 means £3 from each
Australian man, woman and child.
But there is far more than money
in this magnificent gesture. ft
speaks for the love and trust that
bind the nations of the Empire
together, and the determination of
the British peoples to stand to-
gether in peace as they have stood
in war. Some croakers abroad have
been saying that the Empire is
falling apart. What do they say
to this?
CHRONICLES OF GINGER FARM
By Pwendoline P. Clarke
Last Wednesday Bob put the
ear in the shade of a tree and
said he was going to change the
oil. Half an hour later I went out
to ask him something but all I
could see of Bob at first was two
feet and a pair of legs sticking
out from under the front of the
car; ..and from those legs there
wasn't so much as a movement.
"Mercy", 1. thought, "it must be
' that the car slipped off the jack
and crushed him." With my heart
in my mouth I went nearer. And
then I found the rest of Bob—
head, shoulders and body,. on his
back, in the ditch, well under the
car—and fast asleep! He looked
perfectly comfortable so 1 left him
to it. But it was not for long. A
truck came rattling up the lane and
the noise of it resulted in a rude
awakening for the sleeper.
* * .,
But let me hasten to add my son
is not in the habit of sleeping on
the job. You see there was a reason
for it this time. He had just return-
ed from that long trip to the nor-
thern wilds that I was telling you
about last week and he had been
either driving or riding since eight
o'clock the previous night to seven
o'clock that morning -and in a
truck at that. Why wouldn't he fall
asleep?
Incidentally that must have been
quite a trip. Bob and his compan-
ions were right into the bush coup=
try, along with the mosquitoes and
black flies, staying at an isolated
farm house just about miles from
. everywhere, and where sheep had
to be shut up every night to protect
them from the bears and wolves.
Naturally living conditions were
more or less primitive in such a dis-
trict, not through ignorance but
necessity, but the people, so Bob
said were very nice.
* ,
Partner says if he were a younger
man that is the kind of life he would
like, now that he has some ex-
perience behind him. Well, 1 don't
know—in my younger days I might
have liked it •too—but not now.
The wild bush country of the north
and the wide open spaces of the
west, have somehow lost their ap-
peal.
Strange, when one thinks of it,
how many types of farnair,g, and
how many ways of living there are
' in this Canada of ours. You couldn't
- introduce a stranger to Ontario and
say—"This is typically Canadian."
Neither is the west or the north
typically Canadian. But each is
part of the whole—east, west, north,
C nning at Home

With the canning and preserving
season in full swing, a timely publi-
cation is now available from the Do-
mnion Department of Agriculture. It
is entitled "Home Canning of Fruits
and Vegetables" and was prepared
by • the Consumer Service of the
Department. It answers most of the
questions likely to arise when can-
ning fruits or vegetables, or making
jams and jelles, pickles and relishes.
Requirements and Recipes
• The section on canning indicates
the*equipment required, and ex-
.platns every step' to take until the
• fruit or vegetable is processed,
sealed in the containers and ready
to be stored for future use. The
chance of error is reduced to
-a minimum by the inclusion
of.' a processing time table giv-
ing'full instructions for the prepara-
tion of each kind of fruit and vege-
table and the time required for pro-
cessing.
The sections dealing with the pre-
paration of jams and conserves, jel-
lies, pickles and relishes are dealt
with in similar way, and the reader
can tell at a glance how to go about
preparing end processing the product
required. Recipes, which have been
carefully tested, are also given for
a number of jams and jellies made
from a combination nE different
fruits, such as cantaloupe and peach
jam, grape and pear jam, choke
.cherry ancl apple jelly, and several
recipes appear for pickles and re-
lishes.

Sometimes when I an working.
around the kitchen I wonder how
many women still terse a cookstove
in sumac,. 1 believe there are still
quite a lot. And. why? For goodness
sake don't tell me it's because you
like it! If you haven't got hydro
there is surely no reason against
an oil -stove. Expensive, did you
say? That's one for the marines.
An oil stove is just as necessary
to a farmer's wife as a new tire
for the fancily car. Your husband
has never suggested buying one for
you? Why should he if you appear
to be satisfied? Or have you tried
him out and found hint one of
those stubborn males who are hard
to convince. Maybe you haven't
tried the right tactics. How about
giving him a good roasting, Make
a point of having the kitchen really
hot on a scorching day and then
apologise for the discomfort but
add that it wouldn't be that way
if only you had an oilstove! It
might be that a few days of beat
treatment would result in a stove
being brought home on the next
trip to town. Sometimes a practical
demonstration will help more than
hours of arguing. Unless you hap-
pen to be the type who prefers the
role of martyr. They are the wo-
men who shut the door to the main
part of the house, keeping. it nice
and cool, while they swelter over
a cookstove in the back kitchen. The
men cone in from the field; eat
their meal where it is cool, and
wonder why Mother looks so hot
and flustered. They say it isn't
really so hot today—in fact there
is quite a nice breeze blowing!
I was going to say—,`Oh, these
men!" but wouldn't it be more to
the point •if I said—"Oh, these wo-
men!"?
Polar Style
Dr. Paul Siple, who has been
doing polar exploring and research
since he accompanied the Byrd Ant-
arctic expedition of 1928-30 as a
Boy Scout, chose the hottest part
of the summer to tell the world
how to keep warm when the tem-
perature is far below zero. The
snuggest costume, he said last
week, consists of .a close -fitting
inner layer of rubber, a . layer of
insulation, and a rubber outer ga.=
ment. It was successfully tested
in the Byrd expedition to the Ant-
arctic last winter. —Newsweek,

hot on a scorching day and then
apologise for the discomfort but

Dr. Paul Siple, who has been
doing polar exploring and research

arctic expedition of 1928-30 as a
Boy Scout, chose the hottest part
of the summer to tell the world

perature is far below zero. The

arctic last winter. —Newsweek,
