I Pharmacy Week
YOUR PHARMACIST SERVES YOUR NEEDS
IN BOTH SICKNESS AND HEALTH
He's the man located at the drug store you patronize. His professional services are
always available to fill your needs in sickness and health. More and more, people now turn
with confidence to the registered pharmacist who works hand in hand with your physician,
Long Years of Practical Training
Just what goes into the long years of formal study before he can render this important
service to you and the community? TO earn his college degree he is required to take funda-
mental courses in mathematics, science and English during his first years of study. Then,
in later years, he begins to specialize in such courses as pharmacology, bacteriology,
chemistry, drug analysis, and drug store management. After one year of
'internship' taken during his vacations or after graduation and after pass-
ing an exacting, comprehensive examination he finally receives his
licence to pradtice.
These high standards of formal professional training and examina-
tions, together with the Code of Ethics to which registered pharmacists
adhere, are real protection for you and your loved ones.

Mrs. George Layton, Main St.,
who celebrated her 91st birthday
Monday and was a school teacher
for many years, recalls the dif-
ference in the educational sys-
tem 80 years ago and today.
As a young girl she attended
a crowded country school in Hul-
lett Township and after passing
her "entrance", now Grade 8,
she assisted the teacher with the
junior classes in exchange for
instruction in the first two grades
in high school work. Thus she
was able to enter the third grade
(now Grade 11) of Clinton Col-
legiate.
On graduating from here she
attended a short term in Model
School in Clinton. She secured
a position as teacher in a two-
room school in Southern Ontario.
She had an enrollment of 120
pupils, 30 of whom were negroes
and received a yearly salary of
$240. The negroes were seated
at one side of the room and had
a special place for their wraps
but whites and blacks played to-
gether and mingled without fric-
tion.
Mrs. Layton, then Miss Nellie
Medd, attended Ottawa Normal
School and taught in Saskatchewan
in small villages where she taught
all grades from beginners to first
and second years in High School.
While in the West she had the
chance to join a teacher's excur-
sion and visited England, France,
Italy and Egypt. On her return
she taught in Ontario and taught
Grades 7 to 10 in a two-roomed
school in Winchelsea.
In 1920 she bought her present
home to be near her brother
George Medd who operated Ex-
eter creamery. She cared for her
parents and taught in Exeter
public School. She wrote a page-
ant "The Crowning of Canada"
for the pupils to use at Exeter
Home and School meeting on the
occasion of Canada's 60th jubilee.
It was well received and the De-
partment of Education had copies
sent to all the public schools in
the province.
She was married to the late
George Layton of Tuckersmith
who died in 1958.
Since living in Exeter, Mrs.
Layton has been associated with
Main Street Church and she says
the greatest pleasure she has
had in working with any organiza-
tion through the years has been
with the young women's evening
unit (at that time called Evening
Auxiliary) which she organized
and worked with for many years.
She feels their friendship kept
her young in spirit during these
years.
Many friends called over the
weekend to extend best wishes
and the ladies of her church as-
sited and gave her a birthday
cake.
Should you use plastic bowls
to mix egg recipes? Never[
According to home economists
at Guelph plastic absorbs oil
from eggs and reduces their
foaming power.
Mrs. Robert Down, RR 1 Hen-
salt, who took the most prizes
in the domestic section at Exeter
Fair sup she likes to cook.
She has taken 15 projects in
the 4-H Homemaking clubs and
has been a leader of clubs her-
s e 1 f, She has found this train-
ing very helpful in her home-
making.
When asked for some of her
recipes she said she alwgys uses
what she calls her "4-le recipe"
for making pastry and she won
first prize for raspberry pie and
second for apple and lemon pie.
Here is her recipe.
PASTRY
3 cups pastry flour
1 tsp salt
3/4 cup lard (cold)
1/3 cup cold water
Sift flour with salt. Cut in
lard with pastry blender till
pieces are size of grains of rice.
Sprinkle water 1 teaspoon at a
time over part of flour mixture;
toss lightly and quickly with a
fork after each addition until
water is used up. Use ice water
if room is warm.
Dough should be soft and must
be chilled at least 10 minutes in
refrigerator before it can be
rolled.
CHOCOLATE CHIFFON CAKE
Mrs. Down won first prize
for her chocolate chiffon cake.

of tartar till very stiff. Fold egg
yolk mixture gradually into egg
whites.
Bake in a tube pan in 325
degree oven for 55 minutes, then
at 350 degrees for 10 to 15
minutes. Remove from oven and
turn upside down on egg cups until

Although the prize list called

Beat smooth and add just enough
more milk to make of spreading
consistency. Frost top and sides
of cake.
SALMON LOAF
Mrs. Keith McLaren, Crom-
arty, also won a number of prizes
in the domestic class. She is one
of those cooks who puts the in-
gredients together by instinct
and her finished article always
terns out right. She gave us her
recipe for salmon loaf which
brought her first prize.
1 lb can salmon
salt and pepper to taste
1 small onion chopped fine
3 eggs
1/2 cup oatmeal
