FOOD and FIXIN'S Recipes For, the Busy Homemaker GREEN GROWS THE SPINACH The tender and crumpled, glos- sy dark green leaves of spinach have a specially nice •taste this time of year when they come straight from focal gardens to your dinner plate or salad bowl. Spinach is a good warm day vegetable because it takes a cool preparation and almost no time at all to cook. For six serving buy 1t4 pounds or two bags of fresh spinach. Wash in plenty of cold water, lifting the leaves out of the water and breaking off any large stalks. No more water is needed for cooking than that which clings to the leaves after washing. Sprinkle salt over spin- ach, cover pot tightly and when steam escapes from under the cov- er, time it for three to five min- utes. Spinach should be thorough- ly drained before serving. To help do this, cut through the leaves with a sharp knife before drain- ing. Although fresh spinach needs only butter for seasoning, it's fun to be even a little bit adventurous. Here are some suggested ways for seasoning this leafy green vege- table according to the kind of meat it accompanies on the din- ner plate. For examplgy spin h served• with chicken is specia y nice seasoned with sauteed blanch- ed slivered almonds. Sour cream seasoned to taste with salt, pep- per and nutmeg and spooned over hot drained spinach makes it a delicious vegetable for serving with veal; while lamb couples up to spinach which has had 4 tea- spoon rosemary sprinkled over it before cookirig. The Radish Patch • The crisp and solid, bright red globes that come out of the radish patch have the nicest names. Names like Cherry Belle, Cornet, Cavalier and Champion that sound as romantic as is the actual his- tory of the radish. Radishes are supposed to be one of the most ancient of cultivated plants having been grown in China for thousands of years and in Egypt long before the building of the pyramids. In the Orient today a radish is grown for use as a winter vegetable and in Egypt one .is cultivated for its leaves only. Although there are some people in our country who use radishes for a, cooked vege- table they are primarily a salad crop. The tangy, peppery flavor of radishes contrasts well with the mild flavor of new crisp greens. People who are especially fond of ARNOLD STINNISSEN Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada Telephone: 852 R 12 R.R. 5 - SEAFORTH this little vegetable like to eat it as is, with or without salt. Whole radishes are also popular shaped into "roses" or "accor- dians" and used as edible garnish- es for cold meat platters, salad or sandwich plates and hors d'oeuvres trays. To make the roses: t4elect well shaped radishes. Remove root ends and all but one or two small leaves. With a sharp knife, cut thin strips of peel from the top down to and almost through the stem. Two rows of petals may be cut—one from the middle down, the other from top to the middle. Chill in ice water until petals curl. To make the accordians: Cut rad- ishes crosswise in paper -thin slic- er, three - quarters of the way through the radish. Chill in ice water. Radishes are sold in bunches or topped and packed in perforated plastic bags. Stored in the refrig- erator, topped radishes keep their crispness for a week or so. Garden Salad Bowl 10 radishes, sliced % cup sliced green onions 1 bunch watercress .1 cup chopped celery 1 cup shredded 'cabbage 1 cucumber, diced French dressing. Combine vegetables and toss to- gether lightly with French Dress- ing. Six servings. Shallots and Green Onions Shallots may have originated in Syria but it took the famous French cooks to "discover" them as a delight for flavoring and add- ing aroma to recipes. Shallots are often mistaken for green onions. or visa versa. Shal- lots are planted in the fall of the year, green onions in the sprinfi. Shallots have bulbs made up of cloves similar to garlic but with- out a surrounding membrane. Green onions have a very minia- ture single bulb. Both have blanch- ed or white necks with long fresh green tops. Shallots and ,green onions are sold in bunches. They are usual- ly chopped and used for season- ings in salads, sandwich fillings, cream sauce, soups and so on. Two tablespoons of the finely chopped tops from either shallots or green onions added to '/ cup soft butter makes a tasty spread for rolls or French bread as an accompani- ment to salads. , WINTHROP Mr. Leslie McSpadden, of Coch- rane, spent a few days at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wil- liam G.

Not many have heard of substituting an ex- ercise period until a prominent heart specialist recently proposed such a novel idea—the exercise break. The proposal was made—and it is a serious one—due to the gen- eral lack of activity among all workers. Jobs no longer require the physical effort they once did and workers have lost a good source of keeping fit. We rely more and more `on ma- chines. Even mowing the lawn is mechanized and with garbage dis- posals husbands have lost their time-honored job of taking the garbage out. It seems that the only thing a man needs do is 'get up from the supper table and walk to the television room. I heard someoneremark that the 'only exercise a man gets is in opening his beer can during television com- mercials. If they made that chore any easier I guess most men would get no exercise, The exercise break certainly makes sense. We know that com- pletely sedentary men have more heart attacks than active ones. Periodic activity, can help remedy this. Most- men, I know, would balk at such a thought especially if it supplanted his coffee break— but 'it would be for his benefit. I do think once it gets started en- thusiasm would rise. I am sure of it after an improvement of well being is noted. Another benefit of such exercise would be the shedding of extra pounds and surely lack of activity is partly responsible for so many persons being overweight. Better muscle tone and wind capacity would be a welcomed improve- ment. OA at • Juhe is Dairy tAotsth Time to celebrate all the good dairy foods that nature so bountifully provides all year 'round.

Orvrl- F._ vloton of IRY FARMERS F CANADA 147 Oay.npo,i Road, Toronto FORMER McKILLOP ADDRESSES HURON Huron County Farmers' Union met in the Agricultural Board rooms, Clinton, when a representa- tive of an insurance agency in To- ronto outlined details of a sickness and accident insurance policy available to Farm Union members only. The policy, designed to meet the needs of farmers, was originat- ed after a request from a Farm Union Local in Hastings County. Doug Miles, Huron agricultural representative, addressing t h e group, cautioned farmers against carelessness in using the many herbicides and pesticides readily available. "The mower is still the most important weed controller we have. We must not depend entirely on herbicides," he said. He explained that it was just good farm management if a farm- er could use his mower rather than buy spray. He said there were instances when it would be more practical to use spray rather than cultivation, e.g. a small patch of twitch grass. Mr. Miles em- phasized the importance' of read- ing the directions on the spray container each time it is used, and said that different strengths of herbicides are available under the same name. He suggested that anyone trying a new product for the first time should consult some- one experienced in its use. Thomas Govenlock introduced Lapslie Smith, formerly of McKil- lop, who is now with the Depart- ment of Health, Toronto. Mr. Smith said in his opening remarks, that it was his belief that advance- ment in the field of Chemistry has been greater than in farm machin- ery. He, like Mr. Miles, warned farmers of the dangers ever pres- ent to those who use herbicides continually, He said the greatest risk to humans is absorption through the skin, and that the blood cells can be affected. Reac- tion can occur several weeks after contact. • Mr. Smith said that the use of DDT in dairy barns has been out- lawed, and that sanitation was of prime importance here to keep flies under control. "DDT has been traced in the milk of dairy cows and in the tis- sue of beef cattle, which have fed on chemically sprayed pasture," he said. The speaker reviewed the con- trol of the army worm. This can be done by spray or bait. He warn- ed against spraying by airplane. RESIDENT FARMERS UNION When questioned about control of face flies on cattle, Mr. Smith said there was no practical remedy for this, but that scientists were work- ing furiously for an effective con- trol. Mr. Smith closed with words of caution. He outlined a few case histories, one of a barn fire fol- lowing the use of a fumigant in the granary; another where several cows died after improper spray- ing. Gordon Hill thanked the speak- er. During the business period a committee of Mrs. J. Armstrong, Mrs. Frank Hill, Mrs. T. Goven- lock and Mrs. Robert Taylor, was appointed to arrange the annual picnic. Mrs. George Clifton report- ed on a recent Board meeting in Oshawa. It was also decided to send a delegate to IFUC conven- tion in Winnipeg in July. Members were invited to attend the Farmer - Labour Seminar, to be held in Port Elgin in June. The Auburn local served lunch. FUNERALS MRS. HUGO HESCH Word was received here 'of the death of Mrs. Hugo Hesch, the for- mer Emma Sophia Stade, 56, of Hanover, Saturday in hospital at London. Mrs. Hesch was a native of Brant Township. She is survived by her husband; two daughters, Mrs. Earl (Nadine) Gross and Mrs. Arthur (Kathryn) Proud, both of Hanover; two bro- thers, Henry, of Chesley, and Wil- liam, of Walkerton; and five sis- ters, Mrs. Edward (Annie) Zuber, of Walkerton; Mrs. Frederick (Min- nie) Weichman, of Hanover; Mrs. William (Josephine) Fahrer, of Hanover, Mrs. William (Louisa) Hazelwood, or Hanover, and Mrs. James (Laura) Barry, of Seaforth.

New Jets in the Offing Small and medium-size jetliners are on the way. They will be cap- able of operating at the same high altitude as giants like the Boeing 707 and Douglas DC -8. In this way the advantages of jet travel will reach many small places far off- the track of the big jets. See Reduction In Gas Rates An interim natural gas rate re- duction for residential consumers in the northern portion of its fran- chise are, including the Seaforth area, was announced this week by Union Gas Company, following an Ontario Energy Board hearin in Toront last week. The rate adjustment, which a plies to all residential billings du ing the period from July 15 o September 15, 1961, ect Union Gas customers in Guelph, Waterloo, Stratford, Owen Sound, Goderich, St. Marys, Clinton, Sea - forth, Mitchell, Meaford a n d Thornbury. Consumers in a num- ber of smaller communities, and suburban areas will also benefit. The Energy Board has granted the company an interim rate sche- dule for the area in question. This rate became effective this week and will be applicable for not more than one year. The new schedule is identical with the old, except for the specified two-month summer period when the reduction is in effect. It is anticipated that, later this year, the Energy Board will con- duct a hearing on rates charged by Union Gas throughout its fran- chise area, with a view to fixing rates on a permanent basis. The company operates in the area from Windsor to Dunnville and from Lake Erie to Owen Sound. The effect of the announced ad- justment will be that bill render- ed during the July 15 - September 15 period will be reduced by amounts up to 55 cents.
