PAGE 4 CASTLE NEWS, Castlegar, British Columnia THURSDAY, FEB. 21, 1952 Hints For Housewives CULTIVATE YOUR EMOTIONS It has long been known that the emotions have a marked _in- fluence e: the human body. The old fashioned blush proves that point handily enough. There are definite physical re- actions to féar, joy, anger, shame, and also to pride. These emotions or sensations do some- thing to us physically .. .they influence the human body pro- foundly. Many women have found that it is possible to cultivate the habit of pleasant instead of un- pleasant emotions. This I be- lieve, is one of the reasons why so many women like to cultivate flowers and beautiful plants in their homes. Just to look at that . beautiful blossom and to scent its iragrance brings them a Sen- section of joy, and that sensa- tion of joy has very definite lealth-giving properties. That isn’t merely a theory, it’s a scientific certainty. A thing of beauty is —- as the poet said —- a joy forever; and beautiful things bring women | joy, joy which is reflected in their physi- cal well-being, and helps them to be healthy. . So that explains many ‘things which men often wonder about. Why, they wonder sometimes, does a woman already heavily burdened with routine work in- sist on planting and caring for flowers and plants? Well, there is the answer: they feel intui- lively the need for the beauty tius brought to them. ee * SALVAGE FOOD WITH SODA That package of baking soda can be a life saver in a number of cases when food is old or about to ferment. Take canned fruit, for example. When you see these first tell-tale bubbles that announce the beginning of fermentation, reach for the bak- ing soda. Empty the fruit into a Sauce pan, add a pinch of soda, about one quarter teaspoonful, also some extra sugar and bring the fruit to a boil. This proce- dure will, a5 a rule, do the trick if the fruit isn’t too far gone. Or if you wish, add more sugar und boil the fruit down to a jam and you'll still salvage your pre- serves. * if milk is old and you're sus- picious about its keeping quali- uies, add a small quarter-tea- spoonful of soda to a pint of milk and Bring to a boil. The soda will sweeten it and the lvik will be saved. Quite often milk plays tricks and curdles when you're least ex- Becting it. .When you're making a quick cyeam sauce by pour- ang milk over the hot vegetables, ead a pinck of soda as a security measure. Then go ahead and tilicken it ds usual. Soda added to milk when making candy will also prevent curdling. :* * & i GOSD EATING One of Dorothy Blake’s con- tributors in “Women’s Day” de- scribes her way of using one small chicken to make two meals for a family of three. Every- thing but the breast is fried for the first meal. A few days later the breast is cut up and used in a chicken casserole. The meat is removed from the bone, cut in small chunks and placed in two cups of cream sauce. Chicken gravy may be used if on hand, or a can of mushroom soup may be used in place of gravy or sauce. Two cut up hard-boiled eggs are eadded, along with pre-cook- ed peas and carrots. String beans or asparagus may be sub- stituted for peas and_ carrots. This is seasoned well, placed in an oven bowl, and covered with a top crust, which can be made by using a half box of piecrust mix. Make a green salad while the chicken pie is baking, and the supper is soon ready. * # CLOCKS m. The tick-tock of a clock may lull some people to sleep but it’s the most disturbing influ- ence to others at bedtime. So if the ticking of the clock is mon- otonous music to your ears, just put a glass bowl] over it — and go to sleep! You won’t hear the ticking, but you ‘will see ‘the face. An alarm clock proves a use- ful gadget for a mother who is too tired or sleepy to wait up until her teen-age child comes in. One mother who gives her daughter a returning timelimit, found this an excellent arrange- ment. The alarm clock is set for TEN MINUTES AFTER THE DEAD-LINE HOUR; if the alarm doesn't go off then daughter is in and has turned it off. But if the mother is awakened by a shrill, long-sounding bell, she knows her daughter is not at home ... and for punishment she has to forfeit a date, unless she has a very plausible excuse! FALSE ALARM KINNAIRD, B. C.—Last week- end turned out to be one that the Kinnaird Volunteer Fire De- partment will remember for some time. They held a social for their wives in the Kinnaird Improvement Society Hall on Saturday night which lasted in- to the small hours of Sunday morning. At 5:45 men going to work noticed from the highway, flames in the vicinity of the Kinnaird Elementary School and promptly turned in the alarm. Weary and tired firemen were at the scene in about 3 minutes after the alarm only to find that there was no fire. Cause of flames? Well, the night watchman decided to burn some old papers that were out- side the school and the flames and fire lasted only a few min- utes.

The B of M. also received an award in the ‘25 Direct-mail Leaders Contest” for the produc- tion of ‘Canada Today” — a 100- page illustrated brochure which the bank distributes to business- men in all parts of the world for the purpose of developing commercial and industrial inter- est in Canada.
