BRACEY, "THR TELEGRAM New Year Resolutions For Homemakers Research scientists are working constantly to discover the best ways of cooking for speed, maximum food values and for real eating pleasure. Many cooking practices have changed in the last few years and the modern homemaker. should accept as a daily challenge the admonition of the Home Economics Service of the Ontario De- partment of Agriculture to "cook it right", Good cooks need to keep up to date on tools, temperature and timing. Tools should be chosen for the job to be done -- well constructed, easily cleaned pots and pans of the right size for the purpose; accurate mea- suring equipment; sturdy, efficient and practical mixing tools; well-tem- pered, sharp knives and extras chosen only because they can do special jobs nore efficiently, To be a good cook, do not depend on guesswork to select proper tem- peratures. Make full use of the con- trols on stoves, refrigerators and ap- pliances. Cooking thermometers are essential for consistently good results. Timing too is necessary in good cooking. Therefore the modern home- maker pays attention to clocks or uses the timing devices built into the stove. If such equipment is not built into the stove, it can be purchased separately. New cooks should resolve to become good cooks and good cooks to become aware of new developments. For RUBBER STAMPS See THE PORT PERRY STAR January Ist Customs Not everyone celebrates the be- ginning of the New Year on January 1. But people in all parts of the world have special customs to insure that the New Year will get off to a good start, Church services and frantic parties, for example, are typical ways of cele- brating in the U.S. In many European countries, gifts are exchanged on New Year's Day. The custom originated with the Ro- mans, according to World Book En- cyclopedia. Back in 747 B.C., report- edly, they presented the king of the Sabines with branches of bay and palm trees consecrated to Strenia, the goddess of strength. The "strenae," or gifts, became more elaborate, in expectation of royal favor, and the emperors came to regard them as de- served tribute. Augustus Caesar is said to have passed the word along that he had had a vision in which he saw himself receiving gifts from the Senate and the people on January 1. Claudius finally stopped the influ- ence-peddling by limiting 'the cost of gifts, : Henry III introduced the custom in- to England in the 1200's, and Eliza- beth I collected enough loot to replen- ish her wardrobe for a year. The custom went out with Oliver Crom- well. In Scotland, bad luck is in store for a family if the first person to set foot in the house on New Year's Day is a woman . . . or a gravedigger . +». or a person who walks with his toes turned in . . . or a man with red or blonde hair. To minimize the risk, the Scots ap- point a tall, dark man as the "first- footer." On New Year's Day he en- ters each house in silence, places a bad luck to step down on the ground bundle of fagots on the fire, then wishes the family good luck, Even the poorest Chinese buy new shoes for the holiday, because it is into old shoes on New Year's Day. And the Portuguese ignore their debts, because the man who pays a bill on this day will pay out money all year. The Brazilians open the New Year by expressing the hope of all men... they designate January 1 as the Day of Universal Brotherhood. : Tite CHRISTIAN ho 8 IONE D MONITOR DAILY NEWSPATER Good Reading for the Whole Family - News « Facts "+ Family Features ER lr Se A i a The Christion Science Monitor One Norway St., Boston 15, Mass.

Apartment Free For One Year Mrs. Elgin Hutchinson, formerly of Port Perry, and now of Toronto, re- cently received notice that their rent had been paid for one full year in ad- vance, This happy state of affairs was brought about as the result of an essay Mrs. Hutchinson contributed to a contest sponsored by Bloorville Square Apartments for new tenants. The subject of the 'essay "Why we rented our Bloorville Square Apart- ments", was so well handled by Mrs. Hutchinson that she won the very worthwhile prize of one year's rent, The apartments are located at Bloor and Jarvis streets, Toronto. JAE GOOD DRINER An irrational side of human be- havious shows strongly in our reaction to danger. Not only does man tend to have an unreasoning fear of the un- known: he has a dread of the new, or the unusual hazard that is often right out of proportion to the real danger. The news that a small section of the cranberry crop had been contaminated in a way that might affect the health of someone who ate a large quantity of the fruit became a leading topic right across the North American con- tinent, and affected the buying deci- sions of millions of housewives. The news that a dozen babies had suffocat- ed in Canada in the first half of 1959, through the mis-use by adults of thin plastic film, led to the headlines and some almost hysterical demands for government intervention. Obviously, we should take proper steps to face up to every newly-dis- covered hazard. But, points out the Ontario Safety League it becomes il- logical when we contrast the wide- spread excitement over these "new" dangers with the seeming indifference to far greater perils -- such as mis- handled automobiles, which kill three thousand Canadians every year. Discovery of a bottle of arsenic in the bathroom closet would throw any parent into a near-panic. Many other- wise responsible people, though, hab- itually drive old cars without checking the exhaust system for leaks, even though it is known that carbon mono- xide causes more deaths than any other poison. Carbon monoxide is a silent killer, and the full list of its victims is never known. Most known deaths from this cause occur in parked cars, and closed garages. But it is suspected that many solo crashes, and rear-end collisions, are the direct result of drivers becom- ing stupified through carbon monoxide leaking into the car, through a faulty '| exhaust system. We should always be on the alert against the possibility of poisoning from new, and rare sources. But let us also remember that poison is all around us in our daily lives, and the leading killer--poison gets ready to go to work every time we press the starter switch. Basis of Prosperity Fluctuations in the national income closely parallel variations in pulp and paper production. Prosperity in the industry and in Canada are insepar- able. -- Always a Contributor The pulp and paper industry has made its own way against world com- petition without subsidies, price floors, guarantees, or similar help. In war or peacef it has always been a contributor to the public treasury. . Sa Making Pulp Pulp is made by crushing wood on grindstones or by cooking it in chemi- cals in large kettles, - For the FINEST BUILDING SUPPLIES at a FAIR PRICE look for this sign of quality LUMBER DEALERS ALLIANCE JOHN BALLARD LUMBER and BUILDERS' SUPPLIES Phone--YU 5.2491 2 DODGE POLARA FEATURES FRESH, NEW STYLING $ 4 Edi oN 'This THE PORT PERRY STAR, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 81s,t 1950-5 cL bb os Re $4 HEH oh wil : ih 4 a he 'The fresh, vibrant look of tomorrow is achieved models in the 1960 Dodge by Chrysler of Canada through new styling and advanced Snpineeriag. ey four-door hardtop is one of the six ba _-- s paonsse ha 1 & BY A in this prestige Dodge line for 1960 which will be featuring, among many improve. ments, natural seat heights * comfort and quiet operation, a new level of Continue Highway Work Work on Highway 401 between Brighton and Newcastle continues, the Department of Highways of Ontario reports, in spite of cold weather and Snow. It is expected that the whole of the 46-mile section will be opened for traffic from Newcastle to Brighton by next Fall, with the section from New- castle to Port Hope in use in late Spring. Highway 115 near New- castle, is the present eastern end of Highway 401 from Toronto. * From Highway 80 north of Bright- on, Highway 401 runs north of Tren- ton and Belleville to a point near Marysville, nearly 35 miles, Closing the gap from Newcastle to Brighton will mean Ontario Motorists will be able to drive for nearly 130 miles east from Highway 11 at Tor- onto, completely on Highway 401. Mouth "To Mouth Saves Lives Each year, over 300 babies die ac- cidentlly in their homes by suffoca- tion. These accidents have many causes: choking on food, inhaling coins, buttons and beads, and smoth- ering in soft bedding, just to mention a few. One of the most recent causes of such home accidents has been thin plastic, originally used by dry-clean- ers to protect clothing, and re-used by parents as make-shift coverings for babies' mattresses. Yet quite often a baby could be saved from suffocating to death if only a parent knew how to act imme- diately to restore breathing. Should such an emergency arise, the follow- ing "mouth-:to-mouth" technique is re- commended by the Ontario Safety League: STEP 1: Clear the mouth of any foreign matter, and hold the tongue forward. STEP 2: Now place the child face- down, head-down, and pat him firm- ly on the back with the free hand, to help dislodge any foreign object which might be in the air passage. STEP 3: Place the child on his back and lift the lower jaw so that it "juts out". Hold the jaw in this po- sition with one hand. STEP 4: Place your mouth over the child's mouth and nose, making a relatively leakproof seal, and brea- the into the child with a smooth, steady action until you observe the chest rising. At the same time, ap- ply continuous moderate pressure to the child's abdomen, between the na- vel and the ribs, to prevent the sto- mach from being filled with air. (For the adult patient, both hands are needed to hold the jaw up and to close off the nostrils. Occasional pressure with one hand on the upper abdomen will force out any air which might get into the stomach, STEP 6: When the lungs have been inflated, remove your lips from the child's mouth and nose and allow the lungs to empty. Repeat this cy- cle, keeping one hand beneath the jaw and the other hand pressing on the stomach at all times. Continue at a rate of about 20 cycles per minute. After every 20 cycles you should rest long enough to take one deep breath. If at any time you feel resistance to your breathing into the child and the chest does not rise, repeat STEP 2, then quickly resume mouth-to-mouth breathing. The single most important factor in assuring the adequacy of mouth- to-mouth breathing is the proper ex- tension of the neck and elevation of the jaw. When the jaw is lifted un- til the lower teeth extend beyond the upper teeth, the tongue is drawn for- ward so that it cannot obstruct the opening of the windpipe. The chin must be kept in this position through- out the resuscitation period. This mouth-to-mouth method of ar- tificial respiration, proved by scien- tific experiments conducted at the University of Saskatchewan and in numerous American medical centres by medical experts to be absolutely superior over all manual techniques in all age groups, is one which can be used in emergency simply and easi- ly by the layman.
