DUNDALK REVERSE CHARGE Hello HoraemakersI Six years affo the Now York Women's Advertising Club sponsored a survey, "Wihat's Cooking in your Neighbor's Pot." The purpose was to find out in detail the eating habits of the major na- tionality groups in th* country, eval- uate them nutritionally, discover how they arp affected by rationing and emergencies, and suggest ways in which the American-bom housewife and foreign-origin housewife might profit from eaoh other's knowledge. The results are amazing: Actually food does not confonn to any politi- cal boundary. The earth is divided into great regions in which all the inhabitants have certain similarities of food habits. If cooking customs vary, at least the basic foods are similar. The different flavor and consistency of these foods with strange names are for us the most interesting features. In normal time the Greek people eat light breakfasts (a piece of bread, some fruit or a bit of cheese, and coffee whcih is thick and sweet) ; afternoon dinners of bread, a casser- ole dish, olives, fruit nuts, cheese, a salad with olive oil and vinegar, and wine; and supper of similar pattern. Most Greek main dishes begin with onions cooked in oil, then the other ingredients are added. Bread is the most important single staple food â€" so much so, that many eat a mouth- ful of bread in between each bite. The foods that are eaten in Nor- way, Sweden and Denmark are rath er similar in character, although var^ ying amounts of the same foeds are eaten in each of the three countries. In Norway, more fish is consumed â€" fresh, dried or salted, while in Swe- den, much sugar is used in cooking. Denmark is such a dairying country and uses much cheese, cow's milk and butter. The liberal use of legumes and cheese makes up for the small am- ount of meat served in French and Italian dishes. Soups aid rich sau- ces are made inexpensively with meat drippings, leftovers and purees of any surplus foods. Many French and Italian men arc excellent cooks at home and proud of their skill. Latin people have a great dual of respect for food. They conic by it with great toil and therefore make a ritual of many meals. Feaau days and family occasions are coleltrated with certain dishes â€" for e.\ample. an artichoke pie for Easter-time. The principal problem in the Far East is that th« avei-age person has tri)Ul)lo in obtaining enough food to stay alive. Due to population den- .sity and adverse grovvinpr conditions, there is the spectre of famine. We used to believe that everyone in the East ate rice, but have learned lately that millions never touch it. The cooking methods of the East (espec- ially China) are the most flexible in the world, for they are characterized hy a rertain stylo nf cooking rather than a dependence on traditional raw materials. Most food is broken or ,.^li redded into small pieces and cook- ed very rapidly. Steaming, boilinir and frying are the common tech- niques since fuel and ntensile.s are never rivailnhle in quantities. In |m:iny instancs, tin' main dishes are j put in the centre of a group niid each persons helps himself out of the com- mon bowl. They say chopsticks. i-omn'ionly used in Chinii. novor touch ihe mouth; food is dropped into it. .\t a fua.'tt, the number of dishes served increases with the niinib'.'r of guests.

And all Canada rejoiced with her. This incident recalls an- otiher giift of stockings to a royal Elizabeth â€" the queen who reigned in Shakespeare's ay. In the England Of that age it was New Year's Day, and liCt ChristiTLrs, when friends ex- changed gifts, and historical records show that the g^fts were often of a lavish nature. This custom, brou^t to Britain by the Romans, became general over Europe. Queen Eliza- beth's gifts were counted by the hundreds,- but one of them on a cer- tain New Year's morning, gave her a special thrill. An admiring subject sent her a pair of black knitted silk .stockings. They delighted her so "Vuch that a vow was made on +'â- ' instant that never again would shu wear her customary cloth hose. Nor did she! Elizabethan days and ways have never lost their magic and ap- peal. Every day at the Royal On- tario Museum, visitors linger to ad- mire the authentic Elizabethan room with its quaint furnishings. They inspect the vvool-emlbroiderod linen curtains, the hats, shoes, and velvets among the household accessories in the Golden Age of England. And a smile always conies when the warm- ing-pans for insertion between chilly linen sheets, are examined. There's a harpischord in the Elizabethan exhibit, too, the forerunner of the modern piano. It was introduced late in Queen Elizabeth's reign. Proton Station's new ^,600 public school opened Wedneisday mornjng with Miss Dwothy Goldman of Dun- alk as teacher. Classes have been held in the church since the old school building was condemned last ^ring. The new building, begun early in October, measures 28 feet fay 42 feet. The labor in building was chiefly done by the ratepayers themselves. mhe class room has a seating cap- acity of 40 pupils. There is a teach- er's room, boys' and girls' cloak rooms, a fine basement with fuel room, kitchen, play room, cistern and geixtic tank toilets. A large b»» fur- nace is Installed in the basement and the school has modem electric lig-ht- ing throughout- The frame buiWing; is insulated throughout and is covered with in- sul-thrick siding. The interior has a very bright appearance and the plas- tered walls and ceiling and wood- work art painted • Ulfct green. An official opening in the spring, when the weather is warmer, is an- ticipated. The school board consists of ChHs. Hodgins, Gordon Acheson and Stanley Lyons. The latter b»a ^ been re-elected trustee for a term â- < of three years. These men were extended a fin- cere vote of tjhanka when the annual meeting of U.S.S. No. 15, Artemesia ^ and Proton, was held in the new " building last week. ^ It was revealed at this meeting by ^ the secretary-treasurer of the board- ^ Mr. Lyons, that the year's ej^pendi- tuies and receipts were as follows: ^ cost of new school to date |6095.19; ^ total receipts, f4122.B5. There is an ^ overdraft in the bank for M010J.S ^^j owing to the fact that debenture ia- -^ sues have been delayed. The report was adopted. E. Bargerow was tfce chairman and Russell Acheson secre- tary for the meeting. The village milkman bought a horae for the morning round. It was not exactly a thoroughbred, but it hrad four legs. One day he took hia bar- gain to ihe blacksmith to have Mm shod. The amith regarded the weary- looking animal critically, paying par- ticular attention to his lean body and spindly legs. "You ougfct to have a borse thery, someday," he said at length. "I see you've the scaffolding up." 3 •ir u .K Wolf Shot Near Wiarton When Smell Sense Failed ^\'es. Riehartlson of Howdenvale sluH a waif last week and circum- stances are simiewhat ditTevent. He was walking through his bush lot when he saw the wolf coming toward him. It apparently did not see him and kept coming until It was only 20 feel from him. Wes shouted at it. "Hi felUvw, whore arf y<>i» going?' Only then it looked at him and a once ran away fast. He returnei home i^nd with his sen, Harold, and . gun each, sot out and followed the wolf tracks a short distance they saw it eiirletl up on a knoll in an open si>ot iiniong the birch trees. Wes shot it and on examination found a wire snare nlKiut its neck that had cut through the skin and evidently the wolf was partially disabled, the sense of smell having beon atfected so that it h«d been unable to locate him, as it is seldom a wolf can he approached. However, it was a Iniir. woll and Wes is entitled to the boun- ty, a sort of unexpected Christmas gift. â€" Wiarton Echo, ^ouirSt/o^ The sailor was recounting his ex- periences to an old lady when she in- ten'iipterf him, "But what rank did you hold?" alv asked.
