Rep, “Ontario Onions"' is the title of a new publication by the Ontario Department of Agricul­ ture. A large Share of the onions grown in Ontario are grown near Lake Huron, At Thedford and Port Franks. The booklet contains particu­ lars about food value, grading, buying, stoning, preparation, cooking, and serving, Several oild-time and up-to-date recipes are provided. Second only to salt as a pop­ ular seasoning, onions are used throughout the four seasons of the year and in practically every part of the world. In Ontario, more than 150 million pounds of onions are harvested each year, of which about qne-third have been ex­ ported to the United Kingdom in recent years. “Autumn Spice" is the name of a yellow cooking onion grown with great success for export in -the marsh areas south of Grand Bend. . Here are a few preparation pointers- for onions. 1. To avoid tears, peel onions under a stream of cold running water. 2. To remove skins easily, let stand in bailing water for a minute or two, then plunge into cold water. ' 3. To make onion rings, cut in slices and then use the thumb to push out circles. Copies are available without charge from offices of Agricul­ tural . Representatives in each county and district, or from the Information Branch, Ontario Department • o-f Agriculture, Toronto. -----------o----------- s We are sorry to report that is under the Seaforth Hos- Does Washday Keep You Tied Up?

I think it is about time the record was set straight and -the world was told why women drivers are considered crazy. To. begin, it is only men who accuse women of being incap­ able of handling a car, I sup­ pose the basic reason for this unjustified attack on female driving habits is man’s abiding fear of inadequacy. ‘ It’s a matter of record now that women are mentally sup­ erior to men. For centuries, women were content to remain in the background', unselfishly transmitting intelligent reason­ ing to them men, leading them gently to new heights, solving men’s problems without them realizing it, For this ’service, Woman expected ioye and ador­ ation, What did she get, A licit kitchen, a breed of screaming kids, a seven-day week and an order to like it or lump it. Women had no other choice than to come out into the open. For self-preserwation alone, women began to enter the world' which up until this time they had shunned to prevent embarrassment ;to their mas­ ters. Tod!ay, although active in’ all field's of business, women are still reluctant' to use all their mental resources. To com­ pete with man at his level is enough. To consistently beat him at his own game would inflict wounds too deep to heal. But when it comes to driving, instinct sitifps a woman of her generous desires to be nothing more than the male equial. Try as s-he will, she cannot risk her life and the lives- of her pas-s'engers by performing death-defying stunts like those her husband tries on the high­ ways. She will not throw caution to the wind. Her intellectual superiority tells her ‘it -is folly to- travel at speed's , that tempt the Father in Heaven to call her home before her time. She is clever enough to avoid ac­ cidents that cripple and kill. She is patient enough to wait her turn in traffic without lean-' ing heavily On- the horn. She is courteous enough not to hog the road. She is seif-conffid'ent enough to forego the attention­ getting antics- her boyfriend seems to need to prove tyis im­ portance. She is tolerant enough to al­ low for the -strange behavior of other drivers. She -is educat­ ed' enough to read, and heed traffic signs., She is a good dri­ ver — statistics prove it — and her male counterpart is purely and simply jealous.! The song-writer has said there is nothing to compare with the wrath of a woman who has, been scorned. I .sub­ mit there is nothing to match the anger of a man who is a- ware of his own stupidity and either cannot or will not do .anything about it, In a blind fit of rage, men are seeking revenge in the form of witty falsehoods, ^comic distortions and humorous 'half­ truths. ■ Ironically, while men are laughing themselves silly over stories they themselves have 'invented as a sort of soothling balm, women are chalking up safe driving record’s that may never be broken, ff-".........."■■III......................... N I...-—........................ -—“Shirley Keller Women drivers are far from crazy, That is just a ground-’ less rumour being spread by deflated male ego-. Women didv-, prs are merely suffering from a bad case of the jitters brought on by sharing the road with so many men addicted' to careless driving and bent on seif-de- struotion.
