Of This and That
By BETflA DIGREE
How would YOU feel if the doors
of Griffin Memorial Hospital were
to be closed and locked? Would
you be at ease, knowing that in
case of an emergency you or
same member of your family
would be forced to fly a few hun
dred miles for hospitalization?
Perhaps someone is badly man
gled in a car accident-horribly
burned in a fine. . . . Where are
they to be taken for proper treat
ment if there is no hospital? The
little matter of weather must also
he considered. We all know that
planes have been unable to land,
while others have been grounded
here, for two or more days. We
do not blame the airlines. . . .
They have no control over wind,
fog and ice. But the delay could
cost a life.
We have doctors, yes, but they
must have hospital facilities with
which to work and equipment not
usually found in a doctor's office.
Then, too, there must be nurses
to care for the patient through the
days and nights.
Now that you have read this
far, do you begin to feel a bit
RUM CAKES POPULAR
WITH HOUSEWIVES IN
MANITOBA PROVINCE
MANITOBA
I While there isn't a gourmet in
,the world who isn't familiar with
(Winnipeg Goldeye, a fish that is,
exclusive to the waters of Mani
toba, housewives of the province
pride themselves on their rum
’cakes as the dessert of all des
serts. There's nothing quite like a
(Manitoba rum cake anywhere else
in the wqrld. they say.
I While the Goldeye, smoked fish,
I is a specialty on the Canadian Na
(tional Railways' dining cars oper
ating in the Western Provinces, the
’Manitoba rum cake, however, is
to be had in almost any private
home in the province. Here's how
the Prairie Province housewives
make their rum cakes:
\ cup butter or margarine
1 '-i cups brown sugar
I lb. dates
1 cup walnuts, coarsely
chopped
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 eggs, well beaten
1*2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
% teaspoon salt
I tablespoon rum (or rum
flavoring)
t cup boiling water
Grease an angel cake or 8 x 8 x
1" pan. Cover bottom with greased
wax paper. Cut up dates, chop
walnuts. Cream butter and browu
sugar until well blended; then
add the dates and nuts to this
mixture. Add the baking soda to
boiling water, pour over the
creamed butter, brown sugar and
dates. Stir until cool. Add 2 eggs,
well beaten. Gradually stir in
sifted flour and salt, beating until
smooth. Add rum flavoring. Turn
batter into prepared pan. Bake 1
hour and 15 minutes af 300°F.
Cool in pan on wire rack for
10 minutes. Remove from pan.
Frost with rich butter icing,
flavored with 1 teaspoon rum
flavoring and *4 teaspoon mace.
If desired, decorate with drained,
haired maraschino cherries. Fra
frightened? These words are not
written in jest, because it is a vit
ally serious problem for each one
of us in the community, and if we
can make the residents of Kodiak
think about it, we will feel that
we accomplished something.
Elsewhere in this issue can be
found a release by the Advisory
Council of the Griffin Memorial
Hospital. This committee has
met twice during the past two
weeks in an effort to find some
way out of the situation. The mem
bers axe willing to do all they can,
but they must have the help of
everyone in the community. If
anyone has a workable suggestion,
pass it on to any member of the
Council. The members are as
follows: Larry Wodlinger, Leon
Johnson, Mairian Lynch, Etta
Edxis, Tommy Frost, Jr., Ed Get
ty, Lou Veerman, Al Hoehberger
and Beth a Digxee. Nine people
who are asking that each one of
you do your part to help save
YOUR hospital. We will now
leave you to your thinking. . .
And may it be helpful.
