MR. AND MRS. THOMAS DROVER
The consumer revolt over high
prices is rated by Canada' s wom-
en's editors as the biggest news
story of the year directly in-
volving or affecting women.
The women's editors of 107
newspapers, radio and television
stations voted in a C an a di an
Press year-end poll in which
Mrs. Isabel LeBourdals was
picked as the country's most
newsworthy woman of 1966. Her
book led to a Supreme Court of
Canada review of the murder
conviction of Steven Truscott.
The top women's page story
began making headlines in Sep-
tember when organized protests
against rising food prices gained
momentum about the same time
the Senate-Commons committee
started its hearings.
Most of the protest groups
were formed to boycott retail
stores in an effort to force them
to lower their prices. Despite
doubts about the effectiveness of
boycotting, g r o ups have been
formed all across the country.
They are expecting to present
a brief to the Senate-Commons
committee this month.
FAMILY'S MOST VALUABLE
GIFT
Canada's first Christmas and
New Year celebration was back
in 1536 when Jaques Cartier
wintered at Stadacona with his
ill-fated little colony. But that
band of venturers had very little
to celebrate—famine, illness,
hostile Indians--winter itself
combined to make that Christmas
anything but merry.
The first Christmas worthy of
the description "merry" was in
1606 in the colony of Port Royal.
Plagued by scurvy and with an-
other long winter upon them, the
colonists were struggling against

FORMER RESIDENT DIES
This community was shocked
to hear of the sudden passing of
Mr. Melvin Harlton of Lobo. Mr.
Harlton, son of the late Mr. Al-
bert Harlton and Mrs. Harlton
of Lobo were former residents
of McGillivray Twp. formerly
living on the farm now occupied
by Mr. and Mrs. Earl Lewis
and Allan, Con. 11 north of Brins-
ley.
extinction when Champlain
formed a dining club, "L'Ordre
du Bon Temps." Each member
took turns in being grand master
for a day and it became a point
of honor to fill the post of pro-
viding meals for the company
with flair,
As the result of this friendly
competition Marc Lescarbot, one
of the earliests historians of
Canadian settlement, records
that the table groaned beneath
all the luxuries of the winter
forest—moose, caribou and deer,
beaver, otter and hare; ducks,
geese grouse and plover; stur-
geon and trout and fish innum-
erable speared through the ice.."
While few of the gastronomical
delights which made the Canadian
holiday 1606 a merry one appear-
ed on menus in 1966 or will
appear in 1967 the tradition of
special yuletide foods remains
firmly entrenched and home-
makers planned feasts which
were the pinnacle of the year's
entertaining.
It's the wise homemaker who
enjoys her holiday cooking fling
but takes a tip from Champlain
and his Ordre du Bon Temps
and remembers that good nutri-
tion on a year-round basis is
essential for the health of her
own family.
And the homemaker of today
has much more than the instinct
for good nutrition which inspired
Champlain. She has Canada's
Food Guide as a guidepost to
good family meals. She knows
from its simple rules that daily
servings of vegetables, fruit,
meat, eggs and milk and cereal
are essential for her family's
well-being.
And what better centennial pro-
ject could any homemaker have
than good nutrition for her
family!! It's the most worthwhile
project to undertake and the most
valuable present a family can
receive.
BRINSLEY LAD ON TV

old son of Mr. and Mrs. Am-
brose Koricina was guest of

one of the leading roles in the

Mr. & Mrs. Marvin Wein and
family spent New Years with Mrs.
Wein's brother and wife and fam-
ily, Mr. & Mrs. Fred Corner in
London.
Miss Margaret Haist returned
to Western University in Lon-
don Tuesday after spending
Christmas and New Years with
her parents, Mr. & Mrs. Earl
Haist.
Mr. & Mrs. Donald Glanville
and family moved into the home
owned by Mr. Sam Lawson last
week and recently occupied by
Mr. Joe Montgomery who moved
to Exeter.
In 1956 Elizabeth Knox, whose
father was minister of Trivitt
Memorial Church, Exeter, wrote
a letter to 'Santa Claus telling
him that there were poor child-
ren who needed presents more
than she did. Elizabeth was seven
years old then and her letter
was one of many others published
in the Times-Advocate. A reader
signed as "Another Elizabeth"
was moved by the little girl's
letter and sent her a gift anony-
mously.
Each Christmas since, a letter
has arrived with a gift of money
for Elizabeth, who is now a
Grade 13 student at Central Elgin
Collegiate Institute, St. Thomas.
This year was no exception
for Elizabeth received an en-
velope containing four $100 bills
and five $20 bills. "Another Eliz-
abeth" has been dead about six
years but the legacy has been
carried on secretly by a "friend
of Another Elizabeth."
The money has been put in
two separate trust funds; the
first is to be used for her edu-
cation and the fund has reached
more than $3,600; the second is
called the "Elizabeth Trust" and
the interest is to go to the charity
of Elizabeth's choice.
Elizabeth plans to become a
medical lab technician, studying
at a London Hospital after she
graduates this year. She apprec-
iates the mystery of her un
known benefactor and hopes, at
present anyway,that she doesn't
find out who gives her the money.
"It would take away the magic"
said Elizabeth.
Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Drover
of Cromarty, celebrated their
golden wedding anniversary with
open house. Mrs. William Brint-
nell, Cromarty, sister of the
latter, poured tea and a grand-
daughter, Mrs. John Jacobi, Lon-
don, served. A family dinner was
held January 2.
They received lovely gifts from
their family, relatives, friends
and neighbours, a letter of con-
gratulations from Rt. Hon. Lester
B. Pearson and many cards.
The couple were married Jan-
uary 10, 1917, at the bride's
home by the late Rev. J. F.
Knight of Hensall. They were
unattended.
Mrs. Grover was the former
Ethel Bell, daughter of the late
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Bell of
Usborne Township, and was a
dressmaker for several years.
Mr. Drover has lived all his
life on the home farm which is
now a century farm.
The couple have two children,

The Canadian Centennial
Library has recently published
"The Centennial Food Guide"—
which has been co-authored by
well-known broadcaster Pierre

The book covers the eating
habits in Canada over the past
century and contains over 100
recipes— many of which have
been long forgotten.
