Rather, it should shave before he comes on many radio people are in for on ten must rise at dawn and work whip out the stuff people want to A father and his son home from college, were hard at work putting in 'a new fence on the farm. A neighboring farmer passing by with a load of feed, stopped to shout: "Does it take a university education to dig post holes!" Hello Homemakers! = I don't know where the time has gone today. Maybe you have said the same thing and have been won- dering where you can take a few short cuts. So to help both of us it has been decided to review a few baker's tricks that we will use in meal preparation. In the first place, re-arranging your equipment may be a big help. Collecting utensils and sup- plies before you begin the job is the best method of getting the job done quickly. While you're mixing a cake or making the sal- ad, think of ways you can do that particular job faster. TAKE A TIP To bake cupcakes. Use paper cups in muffin tins when you are making drop cakes. A one-quar- ter measuring cup spoons out the right amount of batter and makes each cake the same size. To season and flour meat. Put the cubed meat and a little sea- soned flour in a paper bag-- shake the bag--ithe job's done. To make croguettes. Chill the mixture, pat the mix flat. Cut out rounds with cookie cutter; this keeps servings uniform in size and shape. strawberries. Use a teaspoon to hull berries. It does good work and it saves you time. Wash the berries before stem- ming so no flavour will be lost. To decorate a cake. Spread cake smoothly with creamy frosting, then dimple it with a broad spatula. Or make decora- tive ridges with fork tines. Keep a cup of hot water handy while you ice a cake and dip spatula or fork into hot water as you dec- orate the cake. To shell cooked eggs. Cool | eggs quickly under cold running water. Crack shells then roll egg on tabe tile thoroughly cracked. Start shelling at large end. Double the recipe for cream sauce and put half of it in the refrigerator for ready use. Wine greasy skillet with paper towelling or newspaper. Soak pans as soon as empty. Stand sticky cultery, handles upright, in a bowl of warm water. Put dry bread crumbs through the mincer instead of grating them. Cook super dishes in ramekins at his son, the father shouted back: "No--But sometimes it takes digging post holes to get a un- iversity education." Something different in traf- fic lights exists at the corner of Granville and Hastings Sts. in Vancouver, where an all-way pedestrian signal flashes every 30 seconds. When the green ped- estrian light snaps on, motor traffic stops dead at all four streets, while pedestrians are at liberty to cross in any and every direction--even Kitty Corner! and they do. Seems this particular corner used to chalk up a high pedes- trian accident toll. Since instal- lation of the pleasant All-Way light, the accident rate is way, way down. Another unusual traffic idea is the traditional Courtesy Stop at the four corners next to the Hotel Vancouver. Here, a car from whatever direction is sup- osed to stop courteously and De wait for the pedestrian. Now is foo flashy, his hair is untidy, his collar kinked . . . observe as well as listen to a speaker, or a singer, that his grooming and his general appearance be attractive. The usual laxity in dress and carelessness SISTERS ALL By Jean Leve Calloway TALKING WITH TELEVISION people, newscasters, announcers and singers are getting thousands of fan letters. it seems that the who do televised programs All this fan mail is by no is critical, personally critical. John Doe -letter-writer, is telling his radio favourite that he to broadcast. He tells him his tie When people they demand in grooming by e drastic change with TELEVIS- ION . . . It's rather tough on the boys and girls of radio, who of- long hours in confined studios to listen to. that motor traffic is becoming more congested, this business of being courteous only confuses the walkers and the tourist drivers. The custom will be stopped and replaced by electric signals. Across from Hotel Vancouver is Oscar's Place. It's a small steak house run by young and dapper Oscar Blanck. Every year, 200,000 hungry- people nip into Oscar's for a snack or a meal. His famous steaks come from prize steers in the Western cattle shows. Photos of movie stars and world travellers, paper the walls of this busy eating place. Inter- esting thing about Oscar himself is that he never wears a neck- tie longer than one day. Every night at midnight, he gives his tie to the first customer who asks for it. At his home, Oscar prizes what he believes to be the Tego tie collection in the world. UNCLE FRONTENAC says he wishes these garage attendants would either wipe his windshield CLEAN, or leave it alone. Uncle says if they would take a cake of old fashioned cleanser and a real rag to both inside and outside, this so-called windshield wiping service would no longer be a mockery.
