LETTER
To the editor.
The Ontario Society for
Crippled Children and associated
Easter Seal service clubs join
with the crippled children in the
province to thank your
newspaper wholeheartedly for
the supporting publicity which
was directed to the 1969 Easter
Seal Campaign.
Although final returns for the
campaign will not be officially
I known for a few weeks, we are
confident that every one of the
229 participating Easter Seal
clubs will not only reach, but
surpass their local campaign goal
this year, to establish a new
record high Easter Seal return
for Ontario.
To each and every member of
the community and surrounding
area, we extend deepest
appreciation from all the
crippled/girls and boys who will
receive help this year through
Easter Seal gifts.

Provincial Easter Seal Chairman
QUiCK RELISH
'When kitchen time is short
and you need a quick vegetable
relish, try onion -beet marinade,
suggests the Food Council,
Ontario Department of
nriCultiiie'r and Food.
Place thinly sliced onion
rings,, along with sliced cooked,
canned or fresh beets, in a
shallow bowl or dish. Cover with
vinegar and sugar to taste.
Refrigerate for at least two
hours.
Serve this colourful relish
as an accompaniment for ham or
turkey, or any other holiday
meat.

Ham and rice curry
Costs so lisle, tastes fine
Curried ham and rice is a winner for flavour and easy
preparation, and it looks so attractive. To serve, heap hot, fluffy rice
in the centre of a large serving dish. Spoon the curried ham mixture
around the rice and garnish with watercress. Serve with an
assortment of curry condiments and make sure there's extra curry
powder available because some will want to add more for spiciness
and "heat".
CURRIED HAM AND RICE
'/z cup chopped onion
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 (10 -ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
3/4 cup cream (10%)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons curry powder, or to taste
1 pound fully cooked, baked or canned ham cut into 3/4 -inch cubes
4 cups hot cooked seasoned rice
Curry condiments, as desired
Saute onion in butter or margarine, add soup, cream, lemon
juice and curry powder; mix and heat. Stir in ham and heat. Mound
rice in centre of heated serving dish. Spoon ham mixture around
rice. Serve with curry condiments, such as; chutney, salted whole or
chopped peanuts or almonds, preserved kumquats, toasted coconut,
mixed sweet pickles, seedless raisins and curry powder.
Makes about 6 servings.
Canned tomato sauce
for speedier lasagna
Recipes for lasagna often
feature a meat sauce that requires
hours of simmering. However,
many of us do not have the time
to prepare such a sauce, so here
is a lasagna that can be ready in
less than 90 minutes, yet it is
amazingly good.
LASAGNA
1 pound pork sausage meat..
1 cup finely chopped onions
1 clove of garlic, minced
1 (28 -ounce) can stewed
tomatoes
1 (15 -ounce) can tomato sauce
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon oregano
8 ounces lasagna noodles
1 pound ricotta or sieved cottage
cheese
8 ounces thinly sliced Mozarella
or Swiss cheese
Grated Parmesan cheese
Break up sausage meat in a
cold greased frying pan; add
onion and garlic. Cook, stirring
occasionally, until meat has lost
all sign of pink color and , is
lightly browned; drain off any
excess fat. Add tomatoes,
tomato sauce, salt, pepper and
oregano. Simmer for about 30
minutes.
Meanwhile, cook noodles in
boiling salted water until tender;
drain; then cover with cold
water.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Spread about one-quarter of
meat sauce in bottom of an 8 x
12 -inch baking pan. Add a layer
of drainednoodles; another
quart of the sauce; half of the
ricotta or cottage cheese; and
half of the Mozarella or Swiss
cheese. Then repeat these layers
and top with last of sauce;
sprinkle generously with
Parmesan cheese.
Bake in 350 degree oven for
30 to 40 minutes or until bubbly
and browned. Remove from
oven and let stand for aboat 10
minutes, then cut into squires.
Makes 6 to 8 servings,
Aerial photos -can spot blighted plu_nts
Laurie Phiipptts could.
probably tel you aorne thin&.
about your farm that ever} you
don't know.
Another surprise: he can do it
without leaving • the com fort of
his Ottawa office, not by
perusing a pile of :statistics, but
by carefully studying aerial
photographs of your farm.
And he has photographs of
sorts of most farming .areas in
Canada at his disposal, In many
cases, :he has several phptol;raphs
of your farm taken over a long
period of time. In some cases, he
can tell with amaz,ing accuracy
what's happened to your
business over many years.
Mr. Philpotts is a farm
management specialist in the
CDA's Economics Branch, and
he's chairman of the Agricultural
Committee on Aerial Surveys. In
this position, he is in daily
contact with the people who
take, interpret and store aerial
photographs for the federal
government -- photographs of
every square • inch of the
populated areas of the nation.
If you visit Mr. Philpott's
office, he could drag out several
aerial photographs of farm areas
and amaze you with his
interpretive ability.
For instance, he might tell
you that this farmer isswitching
from dairy cattle to cash crop
production. How does he know?
Well, there's no path left to the
milk house, no tracks indicating
a bulk milk truck route, weeds
are growing into the farm yard
where the cows used to exercise,
the barn ramp isn't being used as
much as it once was, and fields
of hay have been replaced by
cash crops.
First aid hint
How do you stop bleeding?
With a superficial cut or
wound, normal clotting will
probably stop bleeding without
much attention.
With serious bleeding, St.
John Ambulance recommends
that you apply firm pressure
directly on the wound. If
sufficient pressure is applied
bleeding will always be
controlled. It is best to apply
pressure through a thick
compressible dressing bandaged
to the wound. However, if
bleeding is profuse and no
dressing is available, don't delay
— press directly on the wound
with your }tare hand. If a foreign
body is stuck fast in the wound
don't try to remove it — apply
pressure around the wound.
It will also help ,to get the
patient lying or sitting down,
with the wounded part elevated
above the level of the heart.

:He can We, when the scale of
the photography allows, that
you have a late -model ear parked
in the yard, .so it's likely that
you're making ends meet. He
can also see that paths to the
well are no longer used, so
you've likely installed indoor
plumbing.
You've got a small garden,
two rows of sweet cern, half a
row of carrots, some cabbages,
lettuce, potatoes, raspberries and
strawberries, This relatively
small garden may indicate that
your children aren't likely Iiving
at home any more. it's an "older
person's garden?' You're not as
young and ambitious as you
once were because your apple
trees need pruning, that elm tree
at the end of the lane has been
dead for two years and you
haven't found the time, energy
or inclination to cut it down,
and your land isn't used as much
as it would be if you were
younger and more on the move.
When you do go out, you
usually turn left towards the
village instead of right towards
the more distant city.
These are the things you
know. How about those things
he can tell you that you don't
know.
Well, you've got a drainage
problem in the lower end of
your corn field. You haven't
been able to see it from the
buildings and you haven't
walked around the field for two
weeks, so you don't know that
some of your corn is drowning.
Nor do you know that there
are three plants in the middle of
your bean patch that are
suffering from blight. How could
you know unless you happened
to walk through the field — and
you know you aren't likely to
do that — and also happened to
hit that exact spot?
You know that your tile
drain in the back field blocked
some time last year, but you
haven't been able to discover
exactly where. Mr. Philpotts
knows. His aerial photographs
will show, almost to the
individual drain tile, which spot
is blocked and how much
trouble this is causing your
crops.
Why does the federal
government have all these
pictures.
The reasons are many. One of
the most recent uses is to survey
crops for disease damage. In this
rhanner, the Department of
Agriculture hopes to assess the
`rela,tfve importance of various
cis ases and to • concentrate
research on the ones that are
hurting your profits the most.
The federal government
would also like to discover the
general trends in agricultural
production in the various areas
of Canada. For example, is one
area in an evolutionary stage
where small farms are being
expanded into larger units (they
tell by spotting new holes and ,
new gates in fences, and by
general interaction patterns) or
is it in a revolutionary stage
where the entire farming area is
in field
being, abandgned, even by
egmparatively large operators?
Knowing this Can snake the
difference between federal help
tq promote larger and more
efficient units of production or
complete phasing out of
agriculture in the area. The
photographs can also tell if the
soil has the general ability to
produce farm profits.
In more specific detail, the
photographs will tell if a field
should have the drainage
installed and, if so, where, They
.can tell if certain crops should
not be grown in some fields.
They can tell if diseases are
causing more losses than the
farmer can afford.
"Aerial photography is a
tremendous tool for many
things, including the
improvement ` of farm
management," says Mr,
Philpotts.
"Although we have already
used it for many purposes, we
have barely scratched the surface
of the potential, We haven't even
used the photographs we already
have to the fullest. When we
think in terms of adding new
forms of photography such as
color infra -red and remote
sensing such as with heat and
radio energies, we throw the
door open to all sorts of new
possibilities,
"And, if we want to get
exotic about this, we could talk
about the future when we could
take . these pictures from
satellites. Then the possibilities
for use become truly staggering.
For instance we could tell how
much of any particular crop has
been planted and, when the crop
is recognizable, we could keep a
running check on it to gcsess
