With so many Cana­ dian fresh fruits and vegetables on the market during the summer the problem of desserts, salads and ac­ companiments to the meat course are easily solved. With meats, fish or poultry as the basis for dinner they may be served cold to suit the sum­ mer palate. Cold roast lamb, cold baked ham or cold meat loaf served with fresh, well-cooked vegetables are delicious. Eggs are also a good summer food. Scrambled eggs or om­ elettes are not too heavy for summer fare and, if preferred, hard-cooked eggs may be combined with fresh vegetables to make an inviting and satisfying supper or luncheon main course. (Cheese, including cream and cottage cheese, is another food which may be served often during hot weather. Nourishing, and at the same time thirst .quenching, well-1 chilled drinks are popular in sum-’ mer and frozen desserts including ice creams and sherbets are also in general favour. Lamb Moulded in Mint Jelly By J. McTavish in the London Free Press Angus McDonald never had the appearance of a physical giant. He is rather small in stature. At the same time, 'some years ago he was a very hard man to handle, yet could handle heavier loads than many a than could whose weight would force the scales up much be­ yond his avoirdupois. He hardly knew what personal sickness "was until after he had reached his 80th year. His next birthday will ring the curtain down on four score years and ten. Since last fall, until recently, he lived with a daughter .who resides in London, but if actions speak louder than words we believe he rejoices in the fact that he is home again. For example, we mention that the first night after his return he stayed with a neighbor, but about five in the morning was up dressed and on his way to the trim little log house which to him is home and has been since he moved to it with his family about 50 years ago. One by one he saw his sons and daughters get married and to some extent the home ties broken. About seven years ago his wife died and since then he has lived alone. He enjoys company, has plenty of it, and in the evenings loves to smoke and chat and have a game of euchre. He is keenly observant and is THE EXETER TlMES-APVOCATjE TmWPAY, JULY District Weddings BROWN -r- MCINTYRE A quiet wedding was solemnized at the Nairn Presbyterian manse when Merle, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Neil McIntyre, was united in marriage to John R.
