PAGE SIX THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE THURSDAY, APRIL 29, 1948 THIS WEEK IN BRITAIN -- Wash: While-You-Work From United Kingdwm Information Office Great interest is being shown by actory supervisors engaged in ex- ort production in a "wash-while- ou-work" scheme now in effect at . Northampton factory. Women employees take 'bundles f washing to work with them. Vhile they are producing goods, utomatic machines do their laun- ry. The idea came from the manag- ng director when the housewives old him they did not like doing a ull day's work at the factory, and hen return home to facé a big rashing, or spend their Sunday oing a week's laundry. So he installed two automatic rashing machines at a cost of $920. fhe canteen manageress "operates" flem, aad the women do not have 0 give up their soap ration of three mall cakes a month. The marrjed women get priority, mt single women also get a share f the machine.' They can have heir laundry washed for only 6c a Ime. Can't you just imagine how ronderful it must be for Mrs. Brit- in to accomplish two days work n one! Mother Helps With School Meals In Brtiain these days almost any chool child can get a hot meal at ghool for 10c a day. This helps to pake mother's rations go further, Ind saves her the work of packing Ip sandwiches if the school is too ar away for Junior to come home it lunch time. Serving the meals neans extra work for the teachers, jowever, for domestic help is very hort in Britain; and the teachers \iready have enough on their hands foping with extra large classes. One school in the south of Eng- and has solved this problem--the hothers take turns to serve the neals! Nine of them go each day © help serve nearly 500 children jetween the ages of 5 and 11. This cheme started during the 'war and )as become so popular with the nothers that Headmaster Edwin jtevens has a long waiting list of 1elpers. Each mother goes once a week ind works for an hour and a half. Che meals are prepared by the kit- then staff, and the teachers keep jrder. The mothers do the work roluntarily, but they get a free neal at the end--it all helps with the rations! The idea has been so successful that it is going to be adopted in the school's new and much larger canteen which will open in the fall. Herrings Into Margarine Mrs. Britain is glad to hear that her margarine ration of four ouaces a week is pretty safe for the future --there's: even the chance it may be increased. Reason is the United Kingdom Government have a new scheme for procuring margarine from herrings! The most sensitive palates won't be able to detect a fishy taste in their margarine, for herring oil is completely tasteless. A test factory, which until re- cently has been, operating on the east coast of England, has just been transferred to the Shetland Isles. Productiono f the oli has started oa a large scale and it is hoped to produce 17,000 tons of oil a year, starting a new industry and saving Britain $6,000,000 of forign ex- change yearly. Mrs. Britain's fat ration of eight ounces a week--four of margarine, three of butter and one of short- ening--is only just enough to get by on, so naturally she is delighted to hear of any new plans which will keep her ration safe, Britain is short of paper--for cartons, wrappings and books. Among the various drives for this and that, Waste Paper Recovery, Salvage, and s0 on, comes an ap- peal to surrender old school books, The scarcity of textbooks in schools and universities is more serious than many people realize. Tommy is unable to do his French homework because it isn't his turn to have the textbook. Tommy is fortunate he has to share his books with oaly three other boys, but there are some classes where just one text- book is available for the whole form, Low production of books during the war years, extensive losses through bombing, continued paper shortage are all contributory causes to a situation which makes the lot of the teacher and pupil increas- ingly difficult. All homemakers are asked to save every piece of paper they can and salesgirls are going back to the old habit of handing parcels unwrap- ped to the customer. So Britain is right back on the wartime War on Waste, Mrs. Creighton Opens Legion Aux. Bazaar The Ladies' Auxiliary, Canadian Legion 43, held a successful bazaar mn Tuesday evening in the Legion Hall. President Mrs, Joseph Wilson welcomed all present and asked for me minute's silence to be observed n memory of fallen comrades. Fol- lowing the singing of the National Anthem Mrs. Wilson introduced Mrs. T. K. Creighton who declared ;he bazaar open. In her remarks she sutlined the work of the Auxiliary In caring for sick and needy veter- ans of both world wars, also gener- sus donations to worthwhile causes. On behalf. of the Auxiliary, Mrs. Wilson thanked Mrs. Creighton and presented her with a bouquet of roses. The success of the bazaar is largely due to the untiring work of the convenor, Mrs, William Evans, also to the members who knitted, embroidered and sewed. Generous donations both in money and goods were most acceptable and contribut- ed to the success of the bazaar, The booths were as follows: Fancy Work--Mrs. Robert Willi- ams, Mrs. Ben Jackson and Mrs. Charles Lamb. ; Aprons--Mrs, Jack Nash, Mrs. Charles Weeks, Mrs. Dan Guiltinan.

Hard Hit By Cost of Wages Ottawa, April 28--(CP) -- The Victorian Order of Nurses is feeling the high cost of living just as much as individuals and other organia- tions, delegates attending the Or- der's 50th annual meeting were told "We must carry on and as we must demand high type staff, the rising cost of wages and services has been severely felt by us," said Sena- tor Norman Paterson, V.O.N. presi dent. Senator Paterson fold the 300 delegates that the V.O.N. occupies an important place in keeping out discontent and the spread of Com- munism in Canada. "Were the people more aware of this, perhaps our efforts would be easier to finance," he said. Senator Paterson spoke of the generosity of big business in help. ing V.O.N. carry on its work. "That is the price big business must pay for freedom to pursue its course without interruption from agitators who take advantage of the discon- tent among those who cannot or will not work." During the first of the two-day meetings, the delegates heard undersecretary of state Dr. E. W. Coleman. He said the strength and efficiency of the V.O.N. is not to be measured by financial re- sources but by the character of the women who perform the nursing service. The Victorian Order Nurse, - he sai.!, must be "one who has respect for her profession, is scrupulous in her relations with her fellow work- ers and has respect for herself." She must give full scope to her capacity for friendship. Before Wedding Bells Ring telephone.

No one knows how it began, Perhaps on some Far-Eastern oasis, many centuries ago, a vessel containing juices of the grape, fermented during a hot spell, Then it turned to vinegar. No man understood how these mysteri- ous changes came to be, and many curious legends clung about vine- gar"s name. Soon man discovered vinegar had a tart, refreshing taste. For we read in the Bible that Ruth, giean- ing barley in the fields of Boaz, was given a cooling drink of vine- gar at noontime. Vinegar was be- lieved less conducive to sunstroke than water. Vinegar was thought to have wonderful curative powers as well. The Egyptians doctored with vin- egar. And Hippocrates, the famous Greek physician who was the Fa- ther of Medicine, prescribed vinegar for many ailments. When the Great Plague swept Europe during the Middle Ages, vinegar was commonly used in its treatment and preven- tion. The solvent effect of strong vin- egar was often exaggerated in an- cient times. The beautiful Queen Cleopatra, to win a wager with Mark Antony that she could con- sume a fortune in a single meal, dropped one of her rare pearl ear- rings into a cup of vinegar. When, as sha pretended, the pearl had been dissolved, she drained the cup --vinegar, pearl and all. Vinegar was even fabled to he of military value, For Livy, the Ro- man historian, tells how Hannibal, descending the Italian slopes of the Alps, was stopped by great rocks | that blocked the passage of his army. Hannibal built fires on these | rocks, then poured vinegar over them. Legend says this opened seams and fissures at which the | rocks could be split and moved | aside. The mystery how vinegar came | to be baffled man for centuries. Be- cause it resulted from fermenta- tion, it was thought by the Egypt- ians to be related to the origins of life itself. Greek scientists indicat- ed it by the symbol "X" and called it Acetum. Through research on vinegar, early alchemists formulat- ed some of the basic principles of | today's chemistry. Every people made vinegar from products plentiful in their land. In our country, cider vinegar from ap- ples, has always been the most popular kind. This preference oc- curred because 'Johnny Appleseed, a homespun horticulturist in pioneér times, planted orchards along the frontier before many farms were cleared + At one time every American farmhouse had its vinegar barrel down-cellar. This was a domes tic product, made by adding "mo- ther" from last season's bare rel to the newly pressed cider. In those days vinegar was essential to the running of a good farm-home. For it not only added pungency and savor to the year-round diet, but before canning and refrigeration, vinegar helped keep meats, fish, vegetables and fruits. But. such a haphazard method of making vinegar could not always be relied on, so a famous company began manufacturing cider, malt, tarragon and distilled white vine gar commercially, maintaining careful control of its quality, uni- formity, and flavor. Today these vinegars, heir to one of the world's oldest food traditions, uphold this proud position by their sparkling clarity, well-ripened flavor and mellow bouquet.
