darkened room, shoving unknown,
untested food into their slack little
mouths.
Brawny labourers, home after
a hard day on the job, looking for-
ward to a heaping hot plate of
viands, quail as they are confront-
ed with another triumph of the
canning kings, the frozen food
fanatics,

There is a close similarity be-
tween the development of new cars
and new stoves. As gadget after
gadget, frill after frill is added
to the new models, their owners be-
come worse and worse drivers. As
stoves sprout more and more but-
tons, louder and louder bells and
buzzers, women groW less and less
able to cook a decent meal.
*
As a matter of fact, the very
word "cook" is growing into dis-
repute. Women no longer admit
shyly that they are "a pretty good
cook." They brag instead that
they can "turn out" or "whip up"
a pretty good meal. The very
phrases tell a lot about modern
"cooking." The women turn out
the contents of a box, whip up the
muck in it, and think they've bak-
ed a cake.
* *
Even at that, it's an ordeal. Only
time we see a cake around our
house is when some organization
is having a bake sale, and the Old
Girl gets hooked for making one.
By the time she gets through mak-
ing one lousy cake, we're lucky if
we get a can of soup, or some fro-
zen fish and chips, for dinner,
Mother is not only exhausted, but
every dish in the kitchen is dirty.
I remember what my mother
baked every Saturday: eight loaves
of bread, including a couple to give
away, three or four dozen buns;
a couple of pans of cinamon
about four pies and two cakes,
chocolate and light. Mum was too
busy baking to cook on Saturday,
so we'd have to be satisfied with
something light, like maybe a big
dish of home-made pea soup, with
home-made bread, followed by
fresh buns and preserves.

Something sinister is developing
in the kitchens across this fair
lands of ours. There is confusion
in the cuisine. Culinary dry rot
has made its appearance in the
cookhouse.
The signs are everywhere. Gar-
bage cans, which once sat in solid
dignity, heavy with tea-leaves, pot-
ato peelings, egg shells and grape-
fruit skins, now teeter giddily in
the slightest breeze, their cargo
composed of frozen food wrappers,
waxed wango juice containers,
empty tins and vacant ready-mix
boxes.
