Burton and Tem­ pleton thought it was appalling. I think it is great, I’m a fan for entertainment. When I sit down to. watch tele­ vision after a day of mopping UP floors, changing diapers,’ settling quarrels and chopping onions, I want to be entertained, i -ri.'l.J. I.l. .. -I,~-V The last thing I want is to sit down with a cup of coffee in my favourite Chair, put my feet up and see the honorable rep­ resentative from the Union of the Soviet Socialist Republic make an observation in the UN about the proximity of armored tanks to Damascus, I’ll be the first to admit that I’m probably an pninfofmed, mini-minded pacifist who is afraid to face up to, reality. I know that I’m free to live as I please onjy sp long as the UN members and other world lead­ ers like them fight to maintain the peace and put a stop to warlike, invasions , + . and Tm grateful, * . I’m also grateful to the thou­ sands of scientists the world over who are working to im­ prove mankind's chances for a long life, but-1 don’t want to spend my leisure time watching monkeys getting injections, in their butt ends. I’m convinced the experts can make the de­ cisions without my constant surveyal and I’m perfectly hap­ py to hear the results on the 11 o’clock news. Rat patrol may well be a fic­ ticious exaggeration of a very minute corps in the Second World War' but I can look at it without worrying that the outcome might blast me and my family off the face of the earth — or worse. Red Skelton as Freddie the Free loader may not pack the influence that U Thant does, but he makes me forget my problems and that’s important to me and should be important to everyone else, in my opinion, In fact, if the power-hungry peoples of the universe would spend their time watching Wally Gator, their grievances and their hatreds might gain new prospectives, I’ll concede some television viewing time each week to the intellectuals in the crowd who enjoy watching history im the making and live diplomatic manoeuvers. I can use th?yt time to paint my toenails, if I like. But when it is a steady morn­ ing, afternoon and evening diet of strategic conferences and weighty discussions, I object strenuously on the grounds that it brings unnecessary stress to the ordinary folks who have nothing to say and everything to lose. When you need money for that f wn-f illed holiday It’s nearly half*past three in the afternoon. The pldce is CBC-TV’s Studio 6 in Toronto, where Madame Jehane Benoit has been cook­ ing up a storm on television for the popular daytime public affairs show Take 30. The aroma of exotic food has wafted-around the big TV lights and cameras for about 15 min­ utes and coffee break for the stage crews, lighting and cam­ eramen is near. They’ve been working since before noon. Softly and silently through the studio door come others, one by one, from nearby studios.’ They know that today’s coffee break is a Sumptuous feast. Madame Benoit’s cooking. That’s the reason they all come and wait around for the show to end, while their mouths water and they shift impat­ iently from foot to foot . . . waiting. Suddenly, the. show is over, everyone stands istill for a. little longer. Then, over the loud­ speaker comes the producer’s voice from the control booth above ... “the tape’s good”. There is a rush. Madame Be­ noit expects it, because it hap­ pens every time she does a show for Take 30. The men flock around her with out: stretched plates or hands. She laughs and jokes with them as they flatter her and wait for. .. goodies. She heaps a pile of B.C. sal­ mon fillets, freshly sauteed in wine and topped with a lemon and wine cream sauce sprinkled with parsley, onto a plate held by a young, palerfaced props man. The young man’s eyes light up, and he says: '/Ah! Madame Benoit, please leave your hus­ band and come’ and cook foi' me. I’ll be the happiest man on earth.” "Ah cherie! You are so sweet, but I love my husband so much and I hardly know you. I’m afraid I cannot accept your offer . . .' now have some more salmon.” And so it goes each Madame Benoit day on Take 30. Be­ ginning the week of June '19, Take 30 will* feature Madame Benoit once a week, and some­ times twice, when it begins it’s first summer season on CBC television, Madame Benoit started on the June 22 show, will continue through to September 7, but is also appearing on' Tuesdays from time to time. When Jehane Benoit was a convent-educated teenager in her native Montreal 35 years ago, she wanted to be an act­ ress. Her father, A. W. Pa- tenaude, a banker, wouldn’t hear of it. Jehane decided to study in Europe and played on her fath­ er’s Jove of fine food to talk him into letting her. ’study food chemistry at the famous Sor­ bonne in Paris. He paid**'the way and Jehane spent three years at the Sorbonne, then more time studying at Paris’s J— " mi / ■ ii . ' * Cordon Bleu, world-renowned school of French cookery. Once the studies were over, Jehane returned to Montreal and wondered what to do with her magnificent training. She began teaching when two girl friends, their marriages in trouble, came to her for sym­ pathy and wound up learning to cook 'properly. Their mar­ riages took a turn for the better. Madame Benoit organized cooking classes, later a regular school and” 'since then, has taught more than 8,000 stu­ dents. Her classroom technique is the basis of her television a- plomb and appeal. Her first TV job was with CBC-TV’s Liv­ ing, back in 1954> and she’s been on afternoon CBC tele­ vision ever since, through the evolution of Living to Open House, and now, Take 30. . “When I cook for Take 30, I cook for people. The boys standing near me in the studio are my friends. I cook and talk better when I can see their eyes light up and when their faces tell me they are hungry and waiting to eat. That’s 'what makes me feel good, and I guess the Camera catches how I feel;” says Madame Benoit. The June birthday party at ’Huronview was in charge of the Brussels and Cranbrook Wo­ men’s Institutes. Mrs. Smith and Mrs. McTag- gart were chairladies for the Institutes’ program which con-, sisted of two choruses by a group of junior girls; a vocal solo by Mrs. Walter Kerr; ac­ cordion solos by Shirley Pipe and Marie Lake; a duet by Sharon and Darlene Ducharme; readings by Mrs. Miller, Mrs. Bremner, Mrs. Veetch and Mrs. Strickler; piano solos by Marie Veetch.
