Streamline your kitchen —
-and-get out of it!

By JO LYNNE.
___ Time means money, especially in the kitchen. But comes
Summer, we think it’s a sensible idea to spend a little more

Money to gain time in the sun and air. There will be plenty
gray days ahead to stew over stew pots and get in

double boiler than a packaged
pudding. Chocolate syrup takes
just three minutes by the recipe
on the cocoa can and mock maple
syrup takes a few seconds—we’d
say that here economy is a cinch.

There are other ways of saving
time in a kitchen, too, and they
don’t require the expenditure of
one extra penny. Grab a tay or a
length of wax paper, when you
are paring vegetables, sifting
flour, mixing batter or slicing
onions. Then you don’t have to
clean your work space when you're
finished; all you have to do is
wipe the tray or crumple your
paper into the waste basket.

Have you ever struggled to make
corned beef patties when using
that old reliable quickie, canned
corned beef hash? Remove top
and bottom of your can after chill-
ing the meat, then push the entire
contents: out in one piece and sim-
ply slice with a sharp knife. You
can use the same trick with liver
pate, cranberry sauce, boned chick-
en, even canned fish.

A well-designed kitchen scissors
is unbelievably useful. You can
eut and shred in a jiffy, open bot-
tles, crack nuts, open jars, trim
pie crust, mince parsley etc.

Kitchen tongs are another in-
dispensable — you can use them
to turn chops on the broiler, grab
baked potatoes from the oven, lift
corn and any number of things.
Heat resistant bowls are another
useful adjunct.

And then, of course, there is
the time-honored. trick of dove-
tailing jobs. Hard cook eggs in
the bottom of the double-boiler
when you're cooking something in
the upper story. Use the left over
boiling water from baby’s formula
to make a gelatin dessert. Make
two stirring dishes at the same
time—who says you can’t stir with
your left hand while your right
hand is doing the same thing at an
adjoining burner?

Yes, lady, streamline your kit-
chen and come out of it!

Can Spot Polio
In 24 Hours

CHICAGO—Diagnosis of infan-
tile paralysis can usually be made
within 24 hours of the onset of
the disease, a Minneapalis physi-
cian said last week. ‘

Dr. John F. Pohl, a member of
the staff of the Elizabeth Kenny

Institute, also advised immediate.

treatment, without waiting for
signs of paralysis, in order to re-
lieve the discomfort of patients
and to minimize crippling. - :

Writing in the current issue of
the Journal of the American Me-
dical Association, Dr. Pohl said
that an analysis of 1,125 cases of
poliomyelitis treated in Minnea-
polis during the 1946 epidemic in-
dicated that “the symptoms and
observations are sufficiently char-
acteristic to enable the diagnosis
to be established in most patients
within 24 hours of the onset.”

He added that the study also
‘disclosed that ‘paralysis is not a
useful diagnostic sign because pa-
ralysis or weakness of the muscles
is not a common early event and

in a considerable number of Cases’

does not occur at all.”

“To. await the appearance of
paralysis to confirm the diagnosis
or to begin treatment is inadvis-
able,” he said. ;

Of the 1,125 cases, 736 or 65.4
percent progressed to paralysis of
some degree within 15 days, he
said, but 389, or 34.6 percent, did
not show paralysis at any time.

Talking things over

The dail

y round

ONE of the biggest problems facing those of us who are.
active in the labor movement is how we can interest women.
who have only a hazy idea of what a trade union is and ©
that idea probably distorted by all the propaganda subtly

injected into soap operas, special
talks for women and other radio
programs which go to inftuence 2.

shousewive’s thinking.

I_.was particularly struck by
this point the other day when the
striking laundry . workers from
Nanaimo were. in this city to
plead their cause. It’s. not enough
for those of us. who are members
of a trade union or Women’s aux-

iary to know that they have a.

good cause. We’ye got to be able
to convince others, : :

Now, an explaination of: the big
overshadowing issues for the la-:
bor movement. bound up in the
the Nanaimo strike may convince
those who know. something about
trade unionism,
me that an explanation centered
around the personal problems of
the people concerned is far “more
likely to win the sympathy of
women who know nothing of the.
bigger issues but who do know

something about the daily’ prob- |.

lem of making ends meet.

Re ea a
-LET:'S LOOK at it> this way.
The girls and) women in the Na-

naimo laundry didn’t walk off the
job with the conscious idea. of

‘making a test of the: Industrial

Conciliation and Arbitration Act,
although that was the effect of
their action.

No money for
food subsidies

At a meeting of B.C. House-
wives Consumer _ Association
this week alarm «was expressed.
‘at the rapidly rising cost of
‘living. “Bread, butter, milk,
“meat, coffee and tea are items
most important in our every
day diet,” said Mrs. D. Richard-
son, association secretary, “and
‘the prices of these goods are
rising completely out of bounds.
It will mean slow starvation for
pensioners and many working
people.”

It was decided to write to
Finance Minister Abbott de-
manding to know why money
can be found for other pur-
poses of less importance, such
as pensions for retired diplo-
mats, but not to maintain food
subsidies to keep down prices.
A letter is also being sent to
Mr. Carr, one man milk board
‘in B.C., asking reason for the
: proposed increase in milk price.

Plans were begun for the
September campaign of buyers
:resistance, details of which will
‘be announced’ shortly. Growth
of membership was also an-

but it seems to]

“They walked out beeause they ':
felt an injustice had been done to:
one..of them. One of them. had
been fired from a job.she needed .
to keep. her home going—other- .
wise she. ,wouldn't have been.

well paid job. aaa dyes ae
Can’ you imagine yourself work‘:

some of thesé girls were and only
‘four’ Years ago. At that wage they ©
couldn’t buy “any of the ‘iuxuries -

‘Those who lived at home could’
just “about mreet their’ share of
the family’s living expenses.:: And”
those who lived away from home
kad.a pretty thin. time. of. it. ...

‘That’s why the girls organized,.
to make’ their demands ‘for’'d-‘de-*'
cent wage collectivély- because
they found that when’ they com—

plained ‘ individually “they didn't’.
last long‘on the job.” That’s why”
they walked out too, because they
had to: protect their wages the ‘
way they had won them. .- =

For every one of them walking ~
off the job meant personal prob-*'
lems ‘of their own—the same per °-
sonal problems’ that face the’
housewife next door if her hus-
band loses his job or the girl”
across.. the street if her pay
cheque ghould stop coming in.

* * os

I CALLED on a former neigh-
bor of mine the other day, an old
Scotch woman whose one remain-
ing interest in life is her little
chureh circle, and somehow we
got to talking about the strike.

The labor movement and its.
activities are far beyond her daily
round, but EI was able to arouse
her sympathies for the girls just
by. talking about their problems
as people—the very way the soap
operas attempt to mirror the per-
sonal problems of their thousands
of .women listeners in their daily
episodes and influence them at the —
same time to support way of
life that produces bo cee ee
those problems. te

Anyway, it’s’ something well
worth thinking about and a sub-"
ject on which Id like to hear:
from some of you—B.G.
