Play houses
Tykes are tinkers, tallOrs,
soldiers, sailers in playhouse
Chil dren have found
Playhouses. a source of delight
for years'-'Whether they Mlle In
the form of elaborate wood
structures or as igloos they built
themselves.
One explanation for this
never-ending interest comes
from Dr. Robert Simmons, staff
child psychiatrist at the hospital
for Sick Children in Toronto
who said:
children find
playhouses an opportunity to
live in a fantasy of the real
World."
He said that they build the
real world of adults and live in, it,
thus projecting themselves into
that world.
He added that doing this
helps them to cope with the
adult world when they are
grown.
Dr. Simmons said that the
houses give youngsters a chance
to play whatever- role they wish,
be it that of the mother, the
father, or a fireman.
Miss Margaret Walker, head
psychiatric nurse at Wellesley
Hospital in Toronto, believes
that children use the houses to
re-enact the family scene and
that boys in particular might use
them to play out a sense of
adventure and fantasy.
"They might pretend they are
in Africa, or at The North Pole",
she commented.
Whatever the special
psychological reasons for liking
playhouses; most children will
be delighted with the "instant"
playhouse of plastic film being
offered across Canada as a
premium by the Green Giant
Company of Canada Limited.
The design is an enchanting,
leaf-thatched cottage, printed by
Canadian Industries Limited in
true-to-life colors on their tough,
polyethylene film. The
playhouse consists of four walls
with a peaked roof, shipped in
kit form for easy assembly.
Detailed erection plans come
with ehe kit, and it can be set up
either indoors or outdoors.
The Jolly Green Giant House
is 30 inches square and 27 inches
high, and comes , with an
interlocking cardboard roof
support to achieve the peaked
effect. When the support is
assembled, it forms a
four-winged ' column which is
placed in the centre of a
cardtable top. .,The, plastic ,house
is then draped over the eolumn
and is ready for occupancy.
If the house is erected
outdoors, it will be more stable
if supported by poles at each
corner and one in the centre for
the roof. No need to worry
about the elements since the
plastic is completely waterproof.
But Whether "built" in the
living room or in the back yard,
neither a huff nor a puff will
blow this house down! The
plastic house can be obtained
from the Green Giant Company
of 'Canada Limited by sending
$2.00 and five labels from any
Green Giant_ product or Clark
brand soup to: Green Giant

The first fresh vegetable to
appear on the market is
asparagus. The stalks are tied in
bunches and usually weigh one
pound, These slender stalks are a
welcome sight to asparagus, fans.
Fresh asparagus has often
been extolled as the aristocrat of
vegetables and its short season
brings the desire to serve it
frequently. Its color, shape and
flavor continue to delight the
discriminating diner.
But have you ever tried it in a
sandwich? The home economists
of the Canada Department of
Agriculture 'have used fresh
asparagus in various
combinations to make different
styles • of hot lunchtime
sandwiches. Each sandwich
starts off with stalks of cooked
asparagus.
I Choose straight, bright green,
;firm stalks with, closed tips. Very
thin or crooked stalks are apt to
be tough. Store, unwashed in the
refrigerator, and, use in a day or
two. The number of stalks in a
pound will vary because of the
difference in thickness and
length in the stalks. One pound
of asparagus will provide three
or four servings if served for
dinner along with two other
vegetables and meat or fish. The
amount used in sandwiches
depends upon the other
ingredients.
TO COOK ASPARAGUS —
Wash, using a soft brush. Break
off each stalk as far down as it
will snap easily. Remove any
scales if sand has collected under
them. Tie asparagus loosely into
bundles according to size and
boil in two or three inches of
salted water in a covered pot tall
enough for stalks to stand
upright — usually the top of a
double boiler or a coffee pot.
The cooking time will vary from
6 to 12 minutes,depending upon
the thickness. ,
