Pace Iter THE CLINTON CHRONICLE Thursday, April 20, 1950 A Regular Chronicle Feature An easy w'ay to chop a fairly good quantity of mils is to place them in a small cloth hag or to wrap in 'a clean towel and then apply a rolling pin to them ointil they are broken to the size you want. To grate iemon or orange peel, wash the fruit and dry thoroughly. Use the grater only on the skin and avoid going to the white part. Wash grater immediately with a small brush to prevent discoloration. When cutting sticky foods such as dried fruits and marshmallows, keep dipping the scissors or knife in cold water. Double boilers are good for scald ing milk as they prevent its burning or boiling ovei\ When there * a row of bubbles around the edge of the pan. the milk is scalded. When carmCtizing sugar, use a heavy skille* and a low fire. Stii the sugar constantly to prevent burning it. To make buttered crumbs for top ping casseroles, use one cup of broad or cracker crumbs mixed with one- lourth cup~tratter. To make bread crumbs, dry bread nit in a. stow oven, but d:> not let >t brown. When cool, put through" the food chopper or roil it m a pap er bag. Sift, i! fine crumbs are de sired.

This is the kind of “socialism" and low failure figure usually forecast that business troubles are coming J W’ith double the national income, i ^ failures have during the past 10 years actually been less than before 1940. \\ But at last we see a change for the t M worse. The greatest Increase ,in:^ bankruptcies is in the retail store S. field where there has been an in- ; y crease in failures of 12 per cent. In ^ the case of manufacturing this fi-)0 gure is 9.4 per cent; while in mining, farming, etc., there are 5.4 per cent 1 more failures. Although the failures in the retail field show the greatest increase, yet enough new firms come into being so! ft | that the total is now only 2 per cent ’ || less than at the peak. There is one cheering feature to these figures. The bankruptcies were ndt all among young G.I.s. In fact 70 per cent of them were of old *; concerns which had been dying of ••• dry rot for many years. With age *4 comes poor health and a loss of en- ergy. Young men have this energy which we older ones lack. •• This is worth more than - capital or customers. Hence, no young people •• should be discouraged by.the above •• figures on -failures. But I do say that if you now have a good job, hold it and make the most of the opportun- ity it gives you to learn.
