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. W. D. Whitaker, 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. REMEMBER MOTHER For a Mother's Day to Remember We know kitchens are usually Mom's domain, but on her day shouldn't they be off limits? This year leave the fuss " and bother of cook- ing to us. Grant her "time off" for a spe- cial Mother's Day. SPECIAL MOTHER'S DAY MENU Featuring: ROAST TURKEY and BARBECUE SPARE RIBS Flours: NOON to 8 P.M.

From it Laurie Philpotts of the CDA spotted a need for drainage in a field of beans (dark area near Al; an open drainage .ditch (B); an underground tile drain (we've drawn a line over the tile at C); a predominant turn to the left at the end of a farm lane (D►; and bean blight (darker areas in field E), (Story inside) 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.

CLINTON - PH. 4824431 at 48244357 :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 Clinton Naws-Record, Thursday, May 8, 1 969 o.r find blocked drain files crop growth, disease losses and'' yields.
