The most unique was created about a year ago. Ketchup was a vital ingredient in the recipe. A bottle was approximately two- '°' thirds full of "slo-ow good" ketchup, which refused to come out. After some bumping and pounding, I laid the bottle on its side. I was hoping tie contents would get the hint and begn sliding down one side of the neck of te bottle. The bottle began to roll toward the edge of the counter. I made a grab for it, but bumped the bottom of the bottle instead causing . It to somersault onto the floor. Muttering. I began checking for red blobs. There was no ketchup on:the floor.. There was no ketchup on the countertop. There was no ketchup on the cupboard doors, the stove or a nearby chair. How lucky can you get, I wondered, as I glanced upward. The kitchen ceiling was painted green, but on that particular day, it looked like a pizza generously sprinkled with tomato bits. • I know that what goes up must come down, but 1,clid not realize that what goes down can come back up so high. No one can top that stunt, I thought, but someone did. Apparently someone accom- plished similar results Avith a bowl of • mashed potaloes. He was jest trying to be helpful, but his hostess was not impressed. Some Visitors don't understand my culinary logic. For example. I alwayt leave an open box of baking soda on a shelf ,.to keep the refrigerator smelling fresh, even though the only other contents are three- quarters of a pitcher of orange juice. half a pound of butter in the butter keeper and a vegetable crisper filled with apples. My kitchen routine is simple. I eat when 1 get hungry. What I cook is decided by what 1 can find. The time to shop comes when I can't even find enough leftovers for a creative casserole. To conserve dishwashing detergent, I only wash 'dishes when the sink becomes with dirty dishes or when I can't find a clean pap to cook dinner ink- With a simple cooking routine and a few culinary hicks, anyone can overcome minor upsets. Problems dre bound to occur because Murphy's •Law invades even the kitchen. We all 'know that if we drop a slice of toast it will land buttered side down. A cake will never fall unless it's for someone's birthday. And; Cookies will never burn unless we're baking them for a bazaar. zo:0:040yoz000vo:0407000:00 Enjoy the 1981 Christmas Gift Guide Welcome to the pages of the 1981 Huron Expositor Christmas Shopping Guide.

RIDDELL MPP A report of BILD was tabled in the Legislature last week, by the Treasurer, Frank Miller. BILD was established as a Cabinet Committee headed by Mr. Miller last November, and was charged with the re- sponsibility to design and implement an economic de- velopment strategy for Ontar- io. The economic action plan formulate'd outlined a series of 76 projects involving an investment over five years of $1.5 billion. As Treasurer, Mr. Miller said he pledged 50 per cent of that amount in the form of new money, with the balance to come from redirection of internal priorit- ies within the government, from the private sector and from other levels of govern- ment. In the nine months since January 27. BILD has approved programl funding comm'itmen'ts i'v-hieh now to- tal $614 million over five _years. For this fiscal year, the Treasurer said, BILD has approved 45 tir—ajtcts- which will cost about $145 million. However, Mr. Miller could not say what the projects were, but BILD released a general list of how the 5614 million will he spent. Listings costing $20 million or more are: - S20 million to subsidize rural electrical rates; - $125 million for road improvements; $20 million for capital assistance for food process- ing; - S20 million foe expanded storage facilitict for fruiti an& vegetables; • - $35 million for forest improvement. cooking, that wine aids di- gestion. We don't know why, exactly. the magazine says, but one theory is that it's because the pH (acid balance) of wine is very close to that of ow gastric juices.

Mr. Miller said that in the past year BILD has defined Ontario's economic goals for the 1980's •and devised an action plan which co-ordinat- es and consolidates the gov- ernment's economic develop- ment plan. Opposition Members, however, saw BILD as a reworking of programs that had already been warmed over several times, given a new acronym and launched as a platform •for the March election. Opposition Mem- bers said no real new money was being spent because the province's share - S750 mil- lion, with the other half to come from other govern- ments and private industry - amounted to only $150 !Mi- lan a year, the same amount that would have been spent anyway under s prede- cessor, the.

Exactly. review of the secondary school 'system has recom- mended that Roman Catholic separate schools in Ontario should receive full 'financing for Grades 9 and 10. But the question of providing tax- payers' money to private or independent schools needs further study. The Chairman of the Secondary Education Review Project said that the Committee was divided into those who supported a com- mon school system.for all children and those who sup- ported ,a double school sy- stem. The study group made the recommendation any- way, estimating, the cost of $15 million in the first year. Under the 'British North America Act, the Govern- ment is required to provide equal financing for both a Catholic and riatestant school system. But in 1867, neither school system ex- tended to Grades 9 and 10. The provincial Government decided in the 1960's to finance separate school stu- dents up to the end of Grade 10 at the same level as the financing for students in elementary public schools. Since 1978, the provincial government has been grad- ually increasing that support, so that this year provincial support for separate school Grade 9 and 10 is 15 per cent higher than support for Kin- dergarten to Grade 8. Butthe Government still givesleSs to the Catholic Schools for Grade 9 and 10 than is provided for those grades, in public schools' ferred' to UtiiversifyaeSpital in Londohwhere fie retriiine4y-.

The grape is Something to say .by Susan White The dream of establishing an independent family farm never becomes a reality for many young people. The financial burden along is too much for most recent grad- uates of agricultural colleg- es. And even with funding, training and some farm experience most new farmers need additional support.. " "The only way most young farmers can defy the—Brian& ial odds of the 19806 is if their parents have a large enough operatipti to absorb, them," says John Stephens, the Head of the Business Management Section at Cen- tralia College of Agricultural Technology. "We've found that even though some have the finan- cial means to start farming, they would find it difficult without I the assistance of their families--and neigh- bouts." Stephens has suspected this grim reality for some time, and a study he recently completed with 50 young farmers in Perth, Huron and Middlesex counties confirm- ed the reality. Over two- thirds of the farmers who started their careers between 1972 and 1975 had parents who were farming full-time. The permits of another , 10% were fanning part-time. Stephens says that the graduates of agricultural col- leges, such as Centralia, have very little opportunity to save enough to start their own farm. Any savings they do accumulate are negated by inflation., The few who are able to borrow enough mon- ey to make it on their own had other previous invest- ments. The study showed that parents can help in several ways; consigning loans, trad- ing equipment for labor, entering into income sharing agreements, and' assisting the inexperienced farmer with decision making.
