there will be a conference
regarding this subject. A special
speaker will discuss the healthful
advantages to eating mainly
those things which are good for
you.
The gathering is in Hay
Township Hall for those who
would like to know more about
the value of natural foods. * *
Being on a rather strict
grocery budget at our house and
faced every day with the
problem of what to feed a
hungry family that will be both
economical and tasty, I'm
constantly on the watch for new
recipes.
I've found a few
casserole-type dishes that sound
just about right for my family.
Maybe you'd like to try them
too.

Sitting around the quilt with
hands busy and minds free to
think of conversation, quilters
visit and discuss in a pleasant
relaxed atmosphere.
One lady indicated she will
miss the outings when they are
over for another year.
And the husbands? They
were painted by their wives as
highly tolerant chaps who don't
mind making their own lunch a
couple of days each week. After
all, that's just the way it is at
Chiselhurst.
HANDIWORK DISPLAYED — This is just one of the 12 quilts the Chiselhurst ladies have worked on
this winter. Holding their handiwork aloft are (left to right) Mrs. Tom Brintnell, president of UCW; Mrs,
Alvin Cole, convener; and Mrs. Jack Brintnell, convener. T-A photo

BUSY COOKS — Ladies at Chiselhurst are fine cooks as well as
expert quilters. Two ladies who prepared a turkey banquet for the
workers were Mrs. George Boa (left) and Mrs. Harold Parker.
Quilting may be a dying art
but at Chiselhurst United
Church there is little indication
of it. UCW ladies at the little
church east of Hensall have been
quilting two full days a week
since early in January, and
• r
Tuesday the girls treated
themselves to a "round-up"
dinner of turkey and the
trimmings.
The women are working on
their twelfth quilt for this
winter. A huge cross-stitched
masterpiece about 98" x 86",
• the quilted spread is typical of
the kind of quilts now being
made.
With the growing popularity
of woollen and synthetic
blankets as well as electric
covers, quilts are used mainly as
bedspreads. That makes them
• much larger and much fancier
than the kind of quilts grandma
once sewed for her family.

Quilts are becoming family
heirlooms and many fortunate
young brides consider their
trousseau incomplete until at
least one beautiful hand-pieced
and hand-sewn quilt has been
added to their collection.
With the recent interest in
antiques, quilts have returned to
prominence because of their
charm in colonial-type settings.
The Chiselhurst group has
noted that quilts are now
considered a luxury item in the
modern home. They seem to
take pride in their contribution
to the area's history and they
intend to continue with their
craft for many years to come.
One of the oldest quilters,
Mrs. Earl Kinsman, RR 1
Cromarty, said she learned the
craft when she was in her teens.
She's been enjoying the art ever
since and cannot recall exactly
how many years she has been

Everyone likes ice cream and
cake, so combine the two in a
dessert that can be frozen until
serving time. The preparation
can be done days or even weeks
ahead of time when you have a
spare minute.
It's attractive enough for a
company dessert, and easy
enough to serve often as a family
treat.
UPSIDE DOWN
ICE CREAM CAKE
1 large can fruit cocktail (peach
slices or other canned fruit
may be used).
1 quart vanilla ice cream
1 baked chocolate layer cake, an
8 or 9 inch round

the bottom of a round layer
cake pan. Press softened ice
cream over the fruit, then top

water until the cake can be
rotated. Turn onto an attractive
serving plate and serve
immediately. May be topped
with whipped cream or

It is just about time to begin
tapping for maple syrup and
to visit Elmira, perhaps, for their
annual Maple syrup festival.
I have a few maple Syrup
recipes I'd be happy to share if
there seemed to be sufficient
interest, Why hot telephone and
give Me some idea of the kind of
recipes you'd like to have?
Maybe you have some good
maple syrup recipes you'd like
to give me. * * *

helping the Chiselhurst quilting
tradition to become famous.
Mrs. Ross Riley, RR 1
Cromarty, the group's youngest
quilter came up through the
unique "training program"
encouraged by the ladies.
New quilters like Mrs. Riley
are taught the craft by the more
experienced quilters at
Chiselhurst. They are set to
work immediately on the project
at hand and with patient
guidance become skilled quilters
in a hurry.
Mrs. Riley testified that she
"loved" to quilt.
Love for quilting is what
prompts most of the ladies to
turn out twice weekly for the
work bees. Attendance has been
good all winter even though
some regulars took time out for
holidays in Florida and England.
Mrs. Alvin Cole, RR 1
Cromarty, finds quilting such a
wonderful pastime she often
puts a quilt up at her home. Her
husband leaves home early in the
morning for work and she uses
those "couple of hours before
daylight" to indulge herself in
her hobby.
Perhaps the greatest single
enjoyment at the Chiselhurst
quilting bees is the fellowship.
Miss Deborah Johnston was
recently initiated into the Delta
Gamma Fraternity, Alpha
Gamma Chapter at the
University of Toronto.
