Clet.T>ke Well, it looks as ii the ground- koc knew what he was doing last nonth when he crawled back into kis hole â€" there is a cold, biting wind this morning and quite a llnrry of mow. Like it o'r not we Ittve to take what comes, so we may as well make the best of it. Now it has turned cold again 1 am glad 1 did what I did last week. Oh BO, it wasn't a big job of house- •Icaaing or anything like that. It waa nothing more or less than a round of gadding! In fact I believe I was out somewhere every day last week â€" and sometimes twice, all ex- Mpt Saturday. And that is some- tfung unusual for me. And while gadding doesn't help the work along at the time, I believe it does fcelp one to shake off a sort of lethargy that comes with staying at home too much. Anyway, here 1 am again, all ler'Tor a good week's work, 10 I haven't quite reached tte stage complained oi by a friend •f ours who said â€" "Seems to me 1 •an't work and run around as well, ao I guess I'll have to quit work." One thing I like about gadding is the contacts one makes. I did lo •njoy meeting a lady the other day, who, for ten years, has been work- ing on an historical research pro- ject. To my way of thinking history hi about the most absorbing and fascinating study there is. I love to dig up facts concerning the early fioneer days in Canada, atid so, with very little encouragement I waa soon off on that track again. The trouble is it takes up to much time. Hunting through some old press clippings afterwards I made a discovery about our own farm which I had previously overlooked. It appears that in .May, 1822, the •arly settlers in this district â€" all of ttcm Scotsmen â€" arranged to meet •a the trail by Lot 2. Concession 3 â€" which is this farm, but before it was a farm. The purpose of the â- iceting was to discuss the advisa- bility of starting some kind of school for the children in the dis- trict. From that meeting plans wire anade from which emerged the first log school house in this section where between (SO and 70 pupils were enrolled the first year. Many •I them had quite a distance to walk through bush country as there were no busses to pick them up along the road in those days! Another interesting evening 1 kad was when I was invited at fnest to a Book-of-the-Month tudy group. I got quite a kick out oi that â€" just sitting back wondering what the reaction of the group would be towards the book under review which I had read years ago hnt which was unfamiliar to all but two of the group. The book was "Tom Jones" â€" if you have read it yon will know why 1 was amused Answer to Crossword Pu2zlc 'irw N ijQQa auQ aaaca jgQaa Qua laQQi at possible reactions. If you haven't read it â€" well, never mind. Then there was the Canadian Club which featured lantern slides of Quebec. It was splendid. For anything of that sort I much prefer lantern slides to moving pictures. With the latter beautiful scenery is flashed on the screen and gone again before one can take in all the details. Scenic loveliness is not sofhething to hurry over but to linger with so that one can enjoy and appreciate the wonderful color- ing and variations in light and shade. Lantern slides are a grand way ot acquaini :ig us with parts of Canada which we may never even have a chance to visit. To finish out the week Partner and I went to see "Hills of Home' â€" more beautiful scenery, this time of bonnie Scotland. -\nd of course, there was Lassie! Saturday night Partner and I stayed home and listened to the hockey broadcast. And what of the farm? Well, an- cther calf arrived so that means another cow to milk. The hens are still laying and our cats and dogs continue to provide us with interest and entertainment. But we are minus one animal that we parted with without regrets. It was a skunk that had already killed three of our Sussex hens. So Bob set four trap units runway and in half-an-hour the skunk was caught. It was well it didn't take any longer because I was having a great time keeping the dogs and Joseph-Mark from doing a little investigating on their own. So far I haven't done any gadding this week but we have already received or entertained three neighbours, two insurance agentSj one gentleman of the Jewish faith and five small boys looking for pigeons. Easy-To-Make Two Purpose Bag Here is an idea for a useful, easy-to-make bag which may serve two purposes. It can be a clothes- pin bag, to hang on the line or from a belt at the waist when clothes arc hung or removed from the line. It may be hung from the blanket rope in the automobile. Magazines, writ- ing equipment, make-up kit, glove*, or anything that needs to be easily accessible may be stored in it. To make the bag, a wire clothes hanger and a piece of strong cloth iuch as cretonne or awning cloth are the materials needed. Cut the material an inch wider than the straight bar of the hanger and double the depth you wish the bag to be when finished. Three quarters ot a yard doubled is quite satisfactory. Make a narrow hem on both long edges. Turn an inch-wide hem In one end of the cloth, fold the ma- terial crosswise, letting the hemmed end come to an inch and one-half below .the unhemmed edge. Sew Ae sides of the bag together. Now, hem the raw edge over the bar of the hanger. APT DESCRIPTION In Union City, N.

Barclay Warren Miracle Of Grogan's Mill â€" 14 yeai old "Bubba " Long, whose whole life has been spent suiTering from rheumatic fever, asked for a "bushel of letters" on a big radio program. He got an estimated 100,000 pieces of mail, many of them enclo.sing money â€"almost $20,000. Bubba's father works at Grogan's -Mill and people are calling the event "The Miracle of Grogan's Mill." TABLE TALKS One of the greatest of all iood •ontroversies is in regard to fried ahicken â€" southern style. There are almost as many theories regarding the proper metiiod of preparing this succulent dish as there are about the best way to mix a mint julep. So today I thought perhaps you'd like to have a recipe guaranteed to be authentically "southern"â€" and it has nothing to do with fried ehicken, Maryland, as that entails batter and deep fat. Sc here we go for: FRIED CHICKEN. SOUTHERN STYLE Select chickens of from two to two and a lialf pounds weight; and If you have the butcher disjoint them for you, ask him to use a knife rather than die cleaver, as the lat- ter tplinters the bones, leaving them â- neven and unsightly. Some Southern cooks use rwo frying pans, one for the white meat, the other for the dark. Thus the pieces that require about the same length of cooking are grouped to- gether â€" the white-meated portions are done more quickly than the dark, of course. Season the chicken, including the giblets, with salt and pepper; dredge with flour. (Either roll in flour or •hake in flour in a paper bag.) Melt chicken fat in two frying pans so that it's about a half-inch deep. When hot arrange the white-meated pieces in one, the dark in the other. If only one pan is used, put the dark in first, as they take longer to cook. Turn often, being careful not to pierce the flesh so the juice will escape. Cook from 30 to 40 minutes (depending on age and tenderness of the birds) or till ten- der and a deep brown In color. The gravy is almost as impor- tant as the chicken, and here again there are different schools of thought. In Tennessee they favor a brown gravy, made with water; in Alabama, a cream gravy, done with milk. But be sure and make plenty, which ever style you choose. CHICKEN GRAVY For each cup of gravy desired leave two tablespoons of fat in the pan together with any brown crusty portions of chicken that have dropped off. Pour off all the fat in •acegs of desired amount Blend in flour, allowing two tablespoons for the same amoimt of fat. Cook, stirring till flour is brown. Slowly add water or milk, one cup for each two tablespoons of fat and flour. Cook, stirring till thickened. Boil one minute. Season to taste. ro go with the ciiickcii and gravy, nothing could be more ap- ropriate than hot buttermilk bis- cuits. .^nd people down South de- clare that we northerners make our biscuits too thick and toe big arc not nuich bigger than a half 1 3 around. They favor biscuits that dollar â€" thin and crispy, brown on top and a glossy white inside. OLD SOUTH BUTTERMILK BISCUITS 2 tups silted enriched flour ttaspoon salt teaspoon soda teaspoon double action or V/i teaspoons of tartrate or phosphate baking powder 4 tablespoons shortening ^ eup or slightly more of bnttermilk Method Have your oven very hot. (800 4egTcti F. is about right). Sift to- •fther the dry" ingredients twice. Chop in the shortening with a pastry blender or two kn'vei till Ae rai.\ture resembles coarse corn meal Add enough buttermilk to five a soft dough. Stir till the mixture forms a ball. Now turn out on a lightly floured board «nd knead for about thirty seconds. Roll to a quarter-inch In thickness and cut with a small biscuit eatter. Put on a greased baking theet. If a glazed surface is wanted, brush the tops with sweet milk. Bake at 500 degrees F. for about 12 minutes, or until brown. Yield; about two doxsn biscuits of an inch and a half in dlamter. And if, after eating this combina tJon I've described today, you should find yourself breaking out into "You-all's" and "Honey chile's" don't blame me._ It will be that Sonthern influence. Jesus Among P«ople Of Other Races Mark 7:24-37 Golden Teat:- God is no . re- specter of persona: but in every nation he that feareth Him, and wotketh righteousness, is accepted with Him. Acts 10:34-35. In the first year of His ministry Jesus laboured mainly in Jerusalem and surrounding territory. Here was the magnificent temple, the center of Jewish worship. The next year he devoted particularly to Galilee, but the third year he went beyond the borders of his own race. When approached for help by a Greek woman from Syrophenicia he re- plied in the mood of the day, "Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it unto the dogs." But she was not deterred by the reference to '.iic Gcujile dog. She must have deliverance for her demon-possessed daughter. Her in- sistent faith was rewarded. Jesus east out the devil. But though Jesus tested this woman's faith by speaking as his countrymen, his statement alio served to bring into bolder relief his own attitude to people of other races. To this woman, to the deaf and dumb man of Decapolis and to many others he accorded the same mercy and love that he did to the children of .^braham. His ministry was to all. It was written into the .American Constitution that "all men are born free and equal." But four decades passed and much blood was shed before the Emancipation was pro- HEADLIGHT DAZZLE A British survey attributes head- light da22le to an incorrect align- ment of lamps rather than to failure on the part of drivers to use deflect- ing mechanisms. It was also found that low-mounted passlamps are more likely lo daazle than deflected headlights. A regulation made by the Minister of Transport as a re- sult of the survey provided that on and after Jan. 1, 1949, a lamp mounted with its center less than two feet from the ground would â- ot be held to comply with the Road Vehicles Lighting Regula- tions of 1936 unless the lamp were issed only in fog or when snow was falling. It is proposed later to fix an upper limit of 3 feet 6 inches and a lower limit of 2 feet for head- lamps and pass-lamps on all cart rcgiaterad for the first time on or after Jan. 1, IWl. You can't tell whether a man is delightfully witty or just boorish â- ntil you know how mucli money he ha?. claimed whereby the iilack slaves were freed. But those in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. We have our racial prejudices in Can- ada, too. We shouldn't allow immi- grants to enter our country if we are not prepared to equally share the benefits and privileges with them. We should remember that we, too, are really foreigners here, for this land originally was inhabited by Indians. Let us bear in mind that God "hath made of one blood all nations of men to dwell on all the face of the earth.' Acts 18^26. This con- sideration should eliminate racial prejudice and help us to love and help men of all nations as Jesus did. CUTS, BURNS and BRUISES uinSiSooiliiacaod AooMDiic.
