Explaining the Secret of Making Good Pastry Whken Mixing Keep as Cold as Possible. Handle Dough Lightly. Use Little Water. When Baking be Sure the Oven is Hot. Some More Recipes. ( by Edith M. Barber) Anyone who can make good pastry is naturally proud of it. But, let me tell you a secret; there is no reason why any woman should not know how to turn the pastry trick. It is really one of th: easiest things in the world of cookery. First of all there is the flour: For a good sized pie take 1 1â€"2 cups of sifted flour and ‘% teaspoon of salt. Into this work % cup of cold shortening. If you. ran taks your choics in this matter also, some women think lard is the best shortening while many prefer one of the vegetable fats. A little butter may be used for flavour if you wish but it is not really necessary. Work in the shortening. If your hands are cold you may use your fingers otherwise use aA knife or a fork. I usually use a small wosoden chopping bowl and a double blads chopping knife. Do not cut the fat too fine if you like flaky crust with Dubbles in it. When the flour and shortening are well mixed make a hole in the flour at one side of the bowl and pour in one tablespoon of cold water and work in with a case knife as much flour as it will take up. Do the same thing to other portions of the flour and when you have three balls of dough and some dry flour left in the bowl take your fingers and press them all together. If you need a little more water add it a few drops at a time. Remember, howâ€" ever, that wet pastry is always tough. Put the dough in a bow!l, cover, and chill before using.

The finance committee was asked ‘to consider the problem of woman whose daughter was sent to industrial school and to whom a bill was presentâ€" ed by the town on behalf of the Chilâ€" dren‘s Aid Society, for $55.80. The soâ€" ciety had looked after the transfer of the girl from h#*re i0 tne school. The woman refused to pay, then told the clerk she had changed her mind. Up to Thursday, she had done nothing about it. A bond, involving property to the value of $5,950, had been posted in court. All of the properties involved were rented. To Quvit Compensation Board?

Schumacher Wins in High School Debate Debating the subject "Are Wars Préeâ€" ventable?" Schumacher High School‘s tcam won from Timmins on Friday afternoon. The debates were arrangâ€" ad to take place simultaneously, Timâ€" mins taking the affirmative here and the. negative in Schumacher. The margin by which the Schumacher studâ€" ents won, was narrow in both cases. Timmins Loses by Small Margin in Joint Debate Events on Friday Last. Catherine O‘Neill and Eleanor Lawâ€" son represented Timmins in‘ Stchuâ€" macher where they were opposed by Lester Besley and Kathleen Christoâ€" pher. In Timmins, the local school was represtnted by Jack McKonna and Don Hargarth, while Schumachier had Pat Waddell and Marianns Cooper. In both schools, the «debates proved to be most interesting, although a false optimism was raised in Timmins when it was announced, following the reâ€" ceipt of a telephone message which seemed at the time to indicate that Timmins had won in Schumacher. Such was not the caset, however. Short Musical Programme A short musical programme was given at the Timmins school to which the girls of the glee club, under the direcâ€" tion of Miss Smyth contributed two rumbers; the school orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Mitchell, played two selections; and David Gordon and Stewart Sceott played a violin duet. In Timmins, the judges were Father Martindale, F. Anglin and Mrs. J. Roach. In Schumacher Rev. Canon Cushing, Rev. Murray Tait, and Mrs. Gabriel did the judging. In Schumacher, the Timmins debatâ€" ers rcceived the most generous hospiâ€" vality and remained after the debate while refreshments were served. The next in the series of debates will be between Iroquois Falls and Timâ€" mins: the subject chosen is "Should Canada Adopt State Medicine?" The date on which the debate will be held is to be announced later. The events in this Northern Ontario Secomdary School Association debate series are attracting widespread attenâ€" tion. They have not only stimnlated thought on the part of those who take part and those who listen, but they have been the means of discovering among the students of the schools some who show great promise of becoming leaders in community life.

Severt, 152 Mountjoy streei, who was killed in the McIntyre mine on Thursday afternoon, was buried at his birthplace, Harrison, Ontario. Clare Sgvert had been transferred to a job of sampling in the mine, just the day before the accident occurred. A piece of loose rock fell on him Thursâ€" day afternoon just after one o‘clock and death was instantaneous. The young man (he was just 34 years of age last August) was well known in many parts of the North, for he had an attractive personality that gained him friends wherever he went. A graduat: in 1928 of the Ontario Pharâ€" macy, he was for some time employed in a Timmins drug store and afterwards went to the McIntyre mine where he had worked underground for the past couple of years. He had a great love for the outdoors, particularly in winâ€" ter. As a skier, he achieved soms fame on a ski trip from Timmins to Ottawa in 1930. He was among the organizeors of the local ski club and was deeply interested in its During the past few years, he had veloped a desire to go farther northâ€" ward. He read everything he could on the Arctic, talked with those who had lived there. Only last summer, he went from Timmins to Moosonc:e by rail, from Moosonse to th> Eastman river on the east coast of James Bay by aeroplane, and returned through Quâ€" bec to Rouyn in the same ship. Although born in Harrison, he lived most of his life in the North, for his parents moved to Cobalt when he was a youngster. He was educated at Cobalt public school and at Haileybury high school before entering college. Floral tributes in great numbers arâ€" rived at the Severt home on Friday and Saturday.
