Octet S70 eea6 The T-A joins with friends and relatives to wish a happy birthday to the following: Mrs. Vera Miners, Exeter Nursing Home, who will be 80 years old April 15; Mrs. Lida C. Lamport, (formerly RR 2 Dashwood) Craigholme, Ailsa Craig, who will celebrate her 86th birthday today (April 10). Remember to write or telephone The Times-Advocate with the names of your favorite senior citizens who will be 80 or more years old on their birthdays. It is the very nicest way to say "Happy Birthday." Wasn't that a beautiful Raster Sunday? It just shows how the Weather can change from the first of the week to the end. I think that was the nicest Easter Sunday we've had in a few years now, I hope all your Easter dinners went off without a hitch. Had a telephone call Saturday from a friend in Grand Bend who had forgotten to clip the recipe for raisin sauce . . so, I gave her the instructions over the telephone, I trust it turned out well for her. Most of y o u organized housewives will have your housecleaning all finished, I'm sure, Many women like to have that chore completed well before Easter. As for me, I like to wait until I can open the windows and let some fresh air into the house. There's nothing like soap and water and fresh air to chase the last winter blues from the house. And I like to have sunny warm breezy days to hang out things like drapes and blankets and rugs and pillows. Such a pleasant way to bring spring indoors. Has anyone got pussywillows? I have wanted some pussywillows for my livingroom for a few years now and haven't been able to find any. Sunday I saw some in a home in Zurich and my longing for a few branches were renewed. Speaking of gardening, I have received a list from the Ontario Department of Agriculture and Food of the new varieties of marigolds, petunias, snapdragons and asters for sale this year. You may be as interested as I was so I include the information here for your files. Marigolds are hard to beat for continuous bloom, variety in form and color, and freedom from disease. 'Spanish Brocade' is a new dwarf variety with 21/4 inch golden-yellow to mahogany-red blooms. `Moonshot' is an early-blooming variety with bright yellow flowers on 14-inch plants. Petunias are easy to grow, reliable, and showy. They bear a profusion of colorful blossoms throughout the summer. There are two major groups, multiflora with its profusion of small flowers, and grandiflora which has larger but fewer flowers. Both types come in single and double-flowered forms. One of the new multifloras is 'Miss Blue', a double lavender-blue with prominent veining. 'Pink Bells' is a new bright pink with single flowers that are tolerant of bad weather. All of the best large-flowered singles can be obtained in a mixture called `Royalty.' Some early-flowering aster strains will be available this year. `Dwarf Queen' grows only a foot high and bears double pink, scarlet-purple or white flowers in abundance. These are excellent for window boxes, solid beds, or edging plants. Snapdragons are favored for their long, tapering spikes. New snapdragons that will tolerate summer heat have been introduced, 'Bright Butterflies' has butterfly-shaped flowers in all the bright snapdragon colors. `Scarlet Supreme' is a double giant on 3-foot stems. Zinnias are among the most popular annuals. These colorful long-lasting flowers are available on plants of various heights. `Rosy Future' has 6-inch flowers with ruffled and quilled petals. `Torch' is another new zinnia with fiery orange blossoms. Look for some of these new varieties when you buy your seedlings this spring. You may remember the days when grandmother used to give everyone a dose of Spring Tonic about this time of year. That tonic could have been anything from epsom salts to a mixture of herbs, but the most common remedy for winter-time ills was a big pot of rhubarb sauce. It is a little early, perhaps, for our own homegrown fresh rhubarb but it should soon be appearing in the stores, The first stalks are a little expensive but you may agree that it is almost worth the extra cost to put such a spring flavor on the table. For dessert sauce cook 4 cups rhubarb pieces with cup water until the rhubarb is tender. Add 1 cup sugar (or more, as you desire) arid cool before serving. Try it over vanilla ice cream! If you are in the mood for something just a little different on your dinner table this month, give Ground Beef Wellington a whirl, It may be just the thing to give your menu a lift. GROUND BEEF WELLINGTON (Makes 6 servings) 1 cup undiluted evaporated milk 11/2 pounds ground beef V2 cup fine cracker crumbs 1 egg 1/2 cup chopped (mien 1 tablespoon prepared mustard 11/2 teaspoons salt 1/8 teaspoon pepper 1/3 cup shortening 2 cups biscuit mix 1/3 cup water Combine 2 /3 cup evaporated Milk with beef, crumbs, egg, Onion, mustard, salt and pepper. Shape into 10" log on waxed paper, Cut shortening into biscuit mix. Stir in 1/3 cup evaporated milk and water; beat until dough stiffens. Knead 8.10 times on floured surface. Roll to 10" square. Roll meat into dough. Wrap, moisten and seal edges. Lay seam side down on buttered pan, Score top very lightly. Bake 10 minutes in hot oven (425 degrees). Reduce to 325 degrees. Bake 1 hour longer, Serve with mushroom gravy, MUSHROOM GRAVY: Combine 10-ounce can cream of mushroom soup with 1/3 cup undiluted evaported milk, 1/3 cup bouillon, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire and 1/2 cup well-drained sliced mushrooms (if desired). Heat, stirring occasionally. I have little doubt there Will be plenty of spring weddings planned for May and June. While June used to be considered the most popular month in the year to be married, there is statistical proof to show that September and October dates are definitely in the lead. As women's editor at this newspaper, I have more than a passing interest in the weddings that take place in this district. Weddings make first rate news for the women's section of the T-A and I'm most anxious to hear from all the brides in the area regarding their wedding plans. Not that I want to plan their big event for them. That's the bride's own personal delight. I would like to assist wherever I can though, and it is for that reason that I intend to begin a series of remarks in Tea 'n Topics concerning weddings. I suppose the first decision to make (after the date has been set) is what kind of a wedding your wedding will be. You may wish to plan a very formal affair (not too popular in this particular part of Ontario); you may want what your mother may like to call a "white ,wedding" in the church of your choice; you may chose a simple but pretty wedding at home, perhaps in the family livingroom or even outdoors; or you may select an even more informal wedding service with the absolute minimum of attendants and guests. If you chose either of the latter two suggestions, this discussion won't be of much value to you, but if you plan a church wedding with lots of guests and a large reception there are some decisions you must make right now to assure a happy event in October. First of all, make your wedding date known to the priest, minister or rabbi of the church where you want your marriage solemnized. He will tell you if he is available and if the church will be in use on the day you have selected. That's so important to avoid disappointment after other wedding plans are completed. Secondly, arrange for the hall or the restaurant where your wedding reception will be held. Some local halls in this district are booked eight and ten months ahead and in a city like Toronto, for instance, certain popular spots are booked a year or 18 months ahead! Other details will fall in place easier later if you have the important groundwork finalized as early as possible. One Tea 'n Topics reader came to me last week with a request that I probe a little to discover what interest there would be in a nursery school in this district. All I know about nursery schools could be written on the end of a pin so I knew I would have to depend on much more informed persons. My first move was to call a former school teacher in the area. She advised me that there are definite regulations covering nursery schools and suggested I get in touch with James Coulter, supervisor of education for the county of Huron. A call to Mr. Coulter's office informed me that nursery school operation does not come under the department of education but rather the Ontario Department of Health and Welfare. Mr. Coulter told me it is the matter of health and safety for the youngsters in the school rather than the course of study they follow which determines the government affecting nursery schools, "It is more of a babysitting service than anything else," Mr. Coulter remarked. So I telephoned the office of Dr. G. P. A. Evans, MOH for Huron County. There I obtained an address to write for the full information regarding nursery schools, I will get the letter off today and report back to you as soon as I get word. In the meantime, for those of you who are interested in the possibility of a nursery school in this part of the county, please get in touch with me, I'll get your reactions into the hands of interested parties. You might like to know that nursery schools are not new to Huron County. Mr. Coulter advised me that a nursery school operated in Goderich for about four or five years in one stretch, The teachers involved there are now working with retarded children in that area and the nursery school was discontinued. Mr. and Mrs, Clarence Smith, 53 Gidley St. West, celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary quietly April 3. The couple was married in Centralia Methodist Church by the Rev. Findlay.
