THURSDAY, JULY 110, 1941 THE MIXING BOWL By ANNE ALLAN Hydro Home Economist Home Frozen Dishes Héllo Homemakers: "dog days" are upon us the we begin searching for cooling foods to make the heat more bearable. Home-frozen Once salads and appetizers can be very tempting indeed. Homemade ice cream is cooling and refreshing-- nourishing and delectable--it's no trouble to serve, and simplicity itself to make, with the help of your electric refrigerator freezing trays. * * * There are really five different types of ices--sherbets, mousses, parfaits,' ice cream and ices. " * * * Unfortunately a great many home-, makers purchase an electric refri-' gerator, and without asking any questions or reading directions, at- tempt home-frozen dishes. They place the mixture in the tray and THEN turn the dial to freezing point--which is the wrong. method "rue, the mixture will freeze, but it will be full of large icy particles or larers of ice--be disappointingly tasteless. * Far a smooth, rich, true flavour, and 'ast freezing, the following rules . shoull be closely followed: 1. The finger-tip control of your refrigerator should be turned to the coldest point at least 40 minutes be- fore the ice-cream mixture is stirred up. Ps. The bow! and ingredients of the mixture should be thoroughly chilled before mixing. The food will then freeze more quickly. 3. If you want an especially per- fect dish, do not try to freeze ice cubes when freezing ice creams, : sherbets, ete. 4. Wetting the bottom of the tray causes the tray to freeze to the shelf in the unit and so tends to hasten the freezing. * * 5. Use recipes tested for the electric refrigerator. Recipes An Excellent Basic Recipe for Ice Cream 1 qt. milk, 2 cups sugar, 1-3 cup flour, 1-8 tsp. salt. Mix sugar, salt and flour thoroughly. iScald milk and add dry mixture. Cook until thickened over hot water. Stir oceca- sionally. Chill. Vanilla Ice Cream 1 cup basic recipe, 1% tsp. vanilla 1 cup cream whipped. Whip leream just stiff enough to slightly hold its shape and sa it still pours from the 1 cup milk, % cup sugar, 1-8 tsp. salt, 1 cup whipping cream, 1% cups strawberry pulp (put through sieve), 1 tbsp. and 1 tsp. flour, few drops red coloring if desired, 6 thsp. sugar added to the berries. Scald milk, add flour mixed with sugar and salt and cook about 15 minutes in a double boiler. Cool, add the strawberry pulp sweetened with the additional sugar and fold in whipped cream. Freeze until firm, stirring once or twice before mixture is frozen in the electric refrigera- tor. Quantity: 8 servings. Serve with salted nuts. Fresh Raspberry Mousse 2 cups raspberries, slightly mash- ed (strawberries may be used), 2 cups sugar, 1 pt. whipping cream, % cup milk, 1-3 cup lemon juice. Com- bine berries, sugar and lemon juice and let stand until sugar is melted. Fold into whipped cream and stir twice before freezing. When almost frozen, stir in the half cup milk. Quantity: 10 servings. Take a Tip 1. 'Orange rinds can be used in a number of interesting and unusual ways. Preserve the halves and use as a shell to hold a sweet fruit salad. 2. To improve the flavour of cherry, peach or apricot pie, sprinkle with a few drops of almond extract. Lemon juice will also improve the flavor of fresh blueberry pie. 3. Keep the dripping from pure pork sausage to emrich the flavor of fried eggs, and for frying potatoes, cottage style or hash brown. 3 QUESTION BOX Mrs. D.A. asks: "Is there any way of beating egg whites, so that they will be very foamy?" Answer: If you add a pinch of salt BEFORE beating--they will foam up, and be less likely to become wa- tery (if left standing). Mrs. A.L.L. asks: 'his' when opened?" Answer: This usualy means there is a good vacuum in the tin. The 'hiss' comes when air rushes in to fill the vacum. However, if either end of the tin is bulged, the hissing may be an outrush of gas from the tin--and * * "Should a tin Govt. Is Studying | After-War Problems national public health policy in Can- ada, a plan of cooperation {with the provinces, a plan of education, of correlation and coordination," dec- lared Hon. Ian 'Mackenzie, Minister of [Pensions and Health, [in an ad- dress to the Canadian (Club at Que- bec City recently. He added that the plan, "will ensure that those 'who return from overseas will not return to a devitalized homeland," and that it, "will endeavour to en- sure such economic conditions that the right to health will be accom- panied by the power to attain' health." Stating that the Dominion Go- vernment had already given thought to what must be affected when peace returns, Mr. Mackenzie. said plans had been laid /down for the demobi- lization and fot the after-eare oi the returned fighting forces; for jen- sions to those who have earned pwn- sions; for the treatment of the ds- abilities of those rendered unfit, any "for the treatment of all those whe have enlisted, for one year after the time of (their discharge." There 'would also be preference of employ- ment, in the Civil Service as well as in industry, for those who have ser- ved the added. : "The maintenance of individual liberty, the preservation of democra- tic institutions, must be our guiding stars in the future, he asserted, but predicted that 'some restrictions may be required during the period of mobilization." i ' Mr. Mackenzie foresaw that "the controls of industry may have to be kept in force until the new ecoromy, reborn under new inspiration, is in full sway." Se Predicting that a plan of reon- struction for Canada "must be co- ordinated with the plans that must be made in the United States ard in other portions of the Empire." He named the following as some of the problems under consideration: 'The reasonable mobility of labor; the reorganization of industries for peice-time purposes; the orgariza- tin of Canadian agriculture on se- cwe standards--to return a secure liing [for the farmer and his family; the planning of timed public works, tht can be initiated at the close of tle war so that they may absorb a snall amount of skilled and much 'wiskilled labor; the development of 'Gnadian export industries that can enploy Canadian labor in Canada ty supplying goods to overseas mar- lets. \ ; Pointing to development of our suggest that the contents are spoil- ed.

It is just announced that 'what is perhaps the largest single order of its kind for the products of a similar industry in the Maritime Provinces" has just been received by Star-of-the Sea Handicrafts at Terence Bay. 'This order is for 500 dozen of the articles manufactured by the Star- of-the-Sea Handicrafts. The order includes men's hand- woven scarves, ladies' hand-woven scarves and turbans. And itis added that, on the testimony of buyers from Canada's largest firms, 'no finer work of its kind is done any- where on this continent or overseas" There is no need to review the history of Terence Bay, its hard conditions, its struggles, its rise from distressing trials, to understand that here is a lesson--and a positive in- spiratiom. 'These are not facts about one small village alone; they are facts about Nova Scotia--of the possibili- ties that exist all along the shoreline of this province. Let us look on Terence Bay as the example, as a beginning, and not as a completed task. For if, through cooperation, industry and self-help, this little village can do this, a dupli- cation of it is possible in scores of other communities from Cape North to 'Cape Sable.

Light sprinklings also encourage he growth of shallow rooted weeds.

In such cases the soil should be moistened deeply. 1 SINGLE $1.50 to $9.50 NO HIGHER 3000 ROOMS IN FIVE CITIES MONTREAL - "When Ford Hotels you patronize ul You obtain the rates they advertise fl With ail features sought by travelwise J So stop at a Ford and Economize" EASY PARKING FACILITIES TORONTO great natural resources, and pro- gressive development of highways to "link us closer together in the Do- minion and to link our great centres 'of scenic beauty closer to the travel- lers whe come from friendly ianas," Mr. Mackenzie asserted that there must be: "Above all and transcending all, the development of (a great national scheme of social security, by which the masses of our people shall rever again know those fears 'that tome from insecurity want and distress." "Never again, [ hope and pray," said Mr. Mackenzie, "shall you znd I know the (Canada that we knew be- fore this war broke upon us; when unemployment and relief and dis- tress and hunger and poverty and want were rampant in the richest country.in all the world. 'The new day, the new order, the new plan, must bring, will bring, a remedy for all that." He declared that if old dogmas and old doctrines old philosophies of government cannot solve {the prob- lem, then we must look to newer remedies and newer faiths. The heart of the world that is to come fwill be determined upon a complete solution of a problem that has baffled the statesmen of former years. | Looking to the world at large, the speaker asserted that peace must be based on collective security which rests upon "collective force and col- lective preparedness, and not upon collective idealism. ; 'There must be actual, practical sanctions, contribut- ed by all." Democracy must be nurtured and strengthened, and "even the stand- ard of living, that is precarious in some nations, should be universaliz- ed and maintained by a real League of Nations which will be the guar- dian of ithe liberties and comforts of mankind." "I believe," he |declared, "that af- ter the agony and the anguish of these tragic days have passed _ tke finest days in all the world will je ahead; that those days will see-the greatest rallying in the historr of the world of the children of the city of man to the cause and inspiration of the leity of God." | He believed, too, that we shall conclusively "win this war upon which we have engaged as crusaders of Christianity." i Mr. Mackenzie stated his belief that the masses of the people them- selves are giving tremendous thought to fundamental principles, and that peace wil not be decided by a "junta or a cabal, or lany clique of rulers." it will be a peace Idictated by the peoples themselves, he asserted, and post-war problems will be solved by the will of the masses of the people.

COLOSSAL CHEEK (Brockville Recorder-Times) "What colossal cheek for Mussolini to boast about Italy's performance during a year at war when that year has cost him and the Italians 550,000 square miles of territory, about 250,- 000 casualties and a good share of the Italian navy, while the Italian air force has been reduced to virtual impotence. ¢ La An Australian taxi-driver has in- herited a title. Many a taxi driver would be satisfied with title to his taxi. When hungry and filled with blood | p lust, the female mosquito is a fierce and persistent biter. The males, of course, do not suck plood, as their mouth-parts are too feeble to pierce anything but delicate plant tissues, and moreover they lack the biological urge of the mother mosquito which must have blood to mature its eggs and to carry on the noxious race. It is difficult to do much about these mosquitoes once they are on the wing. The best time to attack them is before they emerge from ithe water in which they breed. All mos- quitoes develop in quiet water. In Canada, most of them are pro- duced in temporary shallows such as snow-water pools, rainpools, and the flooded margins of ponds, lakes and streams. 'Their eggs are laid during the warmer months but usually do not hatch until after passing through the winter under the snow blanket, on the dead leaves and soil in low places. i When the snow melts and rains fall and the ground is flooded, the egg hatch. The larvae develop slowly 'when the water is cold, more quickly as the sun warms it, and when they reach the full-growth transform into pupae and emerge a short time later as winged adults. ia The largest number of mosquitoes usually develop from late April to 'early June, and it is during this period that action to control them is most effective. Other mosquitoes breed all summer in such places as rainwater barrels. | The larvae and upae breathe through tube-shaped organs that are forced through the water surface to the outer air. | When a little petroleum oil is , poured on the surface this penetrates . the tubes poisoning or choking them, Thus, while they are helpless and concentrated in ithe water, great numbers can be destroyed. Another, even better method, is to drain away the shalow collections of surface water which form temporarily in the fields and woods in spring and are s prolific soursce of mosquitoes. ' IN THE EVENING OF LIFE'S DAY. "If I ean put some touches of rosy sunset into the life of every man or woman," said George Mae~ domal, "then I feel that I have wrought with God." To make an old person happier, more comfortable, more hopeful that is to "put the touch of rosy sunset into human life." It is a spe- cial privilege of youth to cheer old age. How naturally an old persom turns to a young person for suge shine. In some respects, youth and age are as like as sunrise and sunset and it seems to be God's blessed wil} and plan that each should turn 8 the othar far the things each lack It is in the power of every you person to bring sunlight into the life , of some old person--to impart tha "touch of rosy sunset" which is so ! sweet to the aged pilgrim.--Select. ed. » Never in the Fortunate mobilized its a substantial industrial are markets for permitted to BUILDERS OF | (cole J) [SII RIKI XS A INDUSTRY AN EMPIRE BULWARK § history of human conflict has industrial capacity, skill and production efficiency counted for so much as it does in the present national emergency, indeed are we, therefore, that Can- ada's comparatively young but virile industrial set-up had been developed to its present high efficiency, otherwise we could not have made the contribution expected of us and so vital to the success of our cause. Management and men of industry, quick to respond to the call of Empire, forces with remarkable adaptability, swinging rapidly into production of much needed mechanized units,munitions and equipment of all kinds, Rounding out our national activities in a more balanced economy, Canadian industry has in ad- dition to serving well the home market, developed and profitable export business.
