That lavish " C et:Sumer Trade Crusade" party for the ladies in Toronto—target for oppposition attacks against the gov't in the legislature last week—wasn't as posh as the reports indicate, according to three area delegates who at- tended, Commenced Mrs. Garnet Hicks, RR 1, Exeter, secretary of South Huron WI: "The meal was excellent but I have atten- ded more elaborate affairs". Her opinion was confirmed by Mrs. 11.1I.G, Strang, RR 1 Her:salt district WI,president, and Mrs. W.H. Mack, Creditors, district historian, All three Were among the guests at the meeting in the Royal York Hotel. While the lavishness of the occasion didn't particularly im- press them, the subject matter did. They were much taken with the sincerity of the mission outlined by Premier Rob,arts and Hon. Robert Macauley, mi- Mater of economics and claire- lopment, in latinching the pro- vince's trade crusade. The two men made a strong appeal to the women to aid the economic development of the province by making Ontario housewives aware of the need to buy Canadian products when they compare both in Price and rieality to imports. Mrs. Mack said Mr. Macau- ley told of the 60,00 young people who leave school each year and require jobs and "it's up to us to aee that they get them" he said Hew can this be done? Only by expansion of Ontario industries, by more exports and better markets out the province arid by cutting down on imports. The conference was held Tuesday. Thursday, in the leg- islature, opposition critics suggested the affair was an example of unnecessary gov't extravagance. OWN SOUVENIRS "Three-quarters of souve- nirs sold in Ontario are not made in the province or even in Canada", said Mr. Macauley. "We are a creative people; why can't we manufacture our own souvenirs?"

When it's time for a "break" .. . make it a "milk break"! Good advice for the whole family! Recent studies show that wo- men speed 85 cents of every dollar purchase. A total of $1.1,4, billion was spent on consumer goods last year in Canada and one-quarter of these purchases Were imported merchandise. • "In my view the women of Ontario can have •an important voice in improving this situa- tion", said Macauley. Ile posed this question; "Why does the Canadian buyer spend 25 cents of his dollar on impor- ted goods? Does this stem from a lack of good design or pack- aging or merchandising on the part of the manufacturers?" These, he said, are some of the questions the conference could answer. Here is the menu in case any- one is curious: Stuffed celery, consomme au sherry, roast Lake Sirricoe duckling, wild rice, spice Nia- gara peach, squash souffle, fid- dle heads saute, tricolor par- fait, petits fours, coffee, tea. All of the food was produced and processed in Canada. WOMEN ORGANIZED Mrs. John MacLean, Seaforth attended a meeting of some 300 women representing a cross- section of the women's organi- zations of Ontario in the after- noon preceding the banquet. Mrs. L.G. Lymburner, imme- diate FWIO president, who was the honored guest for the cele- gration of South Huron's 60th WI anniversary in Exeter, Ja- nuary 28, was chairman. During the two-hour meeting the women established a con- stitution committee and ten o- ther committees to research and submit recommendations in the consumer field to the pro- vincial government. Each of the working commit- tees will have a membership made up of women from various parts of the province. Mrs. MacLean summed up the objectives of the consume r trade crusade program as: 1. To provide an opportunity for Ontario women to contribute directly to the improvement of the design, quality and saleabi- lity of existing products and products yet to come on the market. 2. To provide a medium for the exchange of ideas between the consumer, manufacturer and retailer. 3. To aid the trade crusade program by making Ontario women aware of the desirability of buying Canadian products. In the legislature Thursday, a critic said gov't spending for entertainment was "much too lavish". James Trotter (L), Parkdale, charged the govern- ment with "pouring gallons of booze into a multitude of wo- men". The area representatives said they did not attend the cocktail party preceding the banquet. They entered the room but quickly learned that there would not be enough seats in the banquet hail for everyone. They rushed to the hail to ensure they had places. 3/4 cup gram sugar 2 eggs 1 3/4 cups pre-sifted all- purpose flour pinch salt 1 tp baking soda 1 tp baking powder 1 large banana Cream shortening and sugar.

Lent is just around the corner for this year Ash Wednesday falls on February 27, Here is a suggestion for combining fruit with broiled or baked fish that makes a very attractive dish. The combination is a good one because both foods require a short cooking time and the co- lors of the fruit contrast with the golden brown of the broiled fish. Halibut is a good choice for this dish. HALIBUT STEAKS WITH FRUIT Wipe Ii al ibut steaks, one small steak per serving with a damp cloth or paper towel. Place on greased prehe at ed broiler. Brush with melted but- ter and squeeze lemon juice over the steaks. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and paprika. Broil about 2 inches from heat for 3 to 6 minutes or until slightly brown. Turn care- fully. Arrange small whole ba- nanas or large bananas split lengthwise around steaks and one or more slices of orange on each steak. Brush steaks and fruit with melted butter, squeeze lemon juice over all. Sprinkle again with salt, pepper and paprika. Broil 5 to 8 minu- tes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork, al- lowing about 10 minutes per inch thickness of fish. Allow about one-half banana per ser- ving. The tables arranged for the smorgasbord served by the Hospital Auxiliary when they entertained the hospital staff were quite intriguing with red chequered table cloths, coal oil lamps and candles. To tell you the truth, we had planned to have a picture when they were set up with the desserts but they were so tempting that, by the time the photographer ar- rived, they looked as some said "as if the locusts had passed over." However we were able to get a few recipes. Many raves were heard over the banana eclairs for which Mrs. Ralph Bailey generously gave us the recipe for you.
