I had a telephone call early Monday morning from a member of one group of girls who expressed interest for her entire organization. Apparently the girls had discussed the topic lightly at one of their meetings and want more information. Unfortunately I'm not much better informed than they are, All the information I have so far has been shared with you. I have turned all my data over to the gal who first asked that the subject be aired, and I am now awaiting further developments. I would be most happy to publicize any questions you may have or any information you care to offer about nursery schools. I would imagine that because they are so new to this district, few people who have lived here all their lives would know much more than what other people tell them. I had hoped that there might be women living in Exeter, perhaps Huron Park, who have moved to the area recently from • other places where there have been nursery schools. These people would be valuable sources of information if we just knew who they are. Would anyone care to telephone me — or write — regarding nursery school experiences? An interested group might like to make arrangements to go to London and tour one of the nursery schools there, and talk to the teachers and sponsors. There would not need to be any commitments made, and it • might turn out to be a most rewarding outing. * * When you talk about nursery schools, you have to think about why they are useful and what benefits there are for the children. • Certainly nursery schools are convenient for mothers who work. In this modern society many young mothers hold down steady employment because it is necessary if they are to keep the home fires burning brightly. While some older women may • not entirely approve of working mothers, they must admit that a gal who can retain a home that functions normally, keep one or two kiddies happy and well-adjusted although she is not always there and satisfy an employer, all at the same time, is • a girl to be admired. And most young mothers who work achieve c. this sprnehoy or another: The biggest problem to be faced by working mothers is locating a dependable, suitable babysitter. • Most young mothers love their children and want the very best for them. They make every effort to hire a babysitter who will give the children tender loving care five days a week from eight to five-thirty or so. That's the reason that so often a grandmother or an aunt or a close family friend is pressed into service while the .young mother works. Mother feels secure that her child is happy and safe. While the child is receiving all the love and attention he • requires, there is still something lacking. Very often, even mother and father fail to provide it even if they are with the child on a felltime basis. That something is stimulation. Everybody knows how inquiring a young child can be. A little tot with a healthy mind needs books and toys and music and other kids and plenty of skilled supervision while at play if he is to have all the stimulation that is good for him. He needs someone to read to him and time and opportunity to just sit quietly by himself and digest the book as he desires. He needs challenging toys that test his ability to think and to co-ordinate his muscles and mind, He needs someone who will show him how to appreciate music; how to explore nature; how to speak properly; how to behave; how to take care of his own needs; how to converse with other children and with adults; how to become independent and still obedient. Too many times young children get a steady diet of television and "go play, I'm busy", That's when a good nursery school is a real asset to a child, in my opinion, and to parents. One time I heard a teacher muse about what she'd do if she ever had a nursery school class to mother. "We'd have a little bit of music, and a little bit of play, and a little bit of conversational French, and a little bit of arithmetic and a little bit of science and . ." There was no limit to her ideas about what young children can accomplish. Youngsters do absorb so much so easily and enthusiastically at that age. That's my idea of what a nursery school should be. I'm not fully in agreement with James Coulter, Huron County supervisor of education that nursery schools need to be just babysitting services, and nothing more. * * * Summer and fall brides will likely want the event recorded with pictures. That's why it is important to arrange early to have photographs taken of your big day. If your wedding is to take place in the peak wedding months, June through October, you should engage a photographer soon. They are busy people and there is just one Saturday each week! Most photographers are very obliging and understanding when it comes to slim wedding budgets. They will generally quote a variety of prices, one of which you will likely find satisfactory. While I'm on the subject of photography, it might be a good time to discuss pictures for the newspaper. More and more wedding pictures are being taken in color. In fact, I learned from a photographer not too long ago that many studios are switching entirely to color. He predicted that before too many years have passed, it will be more costly to have black and white photos taken than color photos because studios will just not be equipped any longer to' handle black and white films. Unfortunately it is necessary for most newspapers to have black and white prints to work from, That's because newspapers are usually black and white creations and color pictures often tend to darken when treated by the regular processes used by the newspaper to reproduce prints for a black and white publication. So at the Times-Advocate, for instance, we require a black and white print. If you advise your photographer in advance of the wedding that you want a print for the local newspaper, he will make arrangements either to take a special picture for the newspaper in black and white, or to have the color print made into a black and white print for the newspaper. If you are not hiring a photographer, we can take an ordinary snapshot and make it into a print for the paper. However, these snaps MUST be large and clear before we will attempt it at all. Since snapshots have to be enlarged again to a two-column size for the paper, they must be sharp and clear. If they are fuzzy or the least bit blurry, these faults will be magnified during the enlargement process. And please remember, there is a time limit on wedding pictures and stories. We prefer to have them one or two weeks after the wedding but we will accept them up to four or five weeks if there is some definite reason for the delay. There is no charge for wedding stories and pictures in the T-A but we do reserve the right to cut them as short as necessary when space is at a premium. That happens some weeks. Some newspapers in the area charge regular advertising rates to have weddings inserted. The bride and groom or their families may have just as much story written about them as they have money to finance the deal. We have never done this. We include weddings free of charge as a service to our subscribers. Occasionally though, when there is too much copy for the number of inches of space we have for reading matter, we find it necessary to omit what the mother wore or the names of the soloist and the organist or some other detail not directly connected with the bride or the groom, 13y the way, there are wedding forms available — also free of charge — which will help you to help us. Dormant rose bushes should be planted in early spring, advise horticulturists with the Ontario Department of Agriculture and Food. Dormant roses shipped by nurseries or purchased at garden centres are protectively wrapped to prevent the roots and stems from drying during shipping, If possible, roses should be planted as soon as they arrive. If the bed for them is not ready they should be unwrapped and `heeled in' at a sheltered spot in the garden. Cover the roots and most of the stems with soil and firm it around them. Roses require a well-enriched soil with plenty of organic matter. To supply this, mix well-rotted manure with the soil. Peat moss with complete commercial fertilizer at the rate of 2 pounds to 100 square feet can also be mixed in. Make the planting holes 15 to 18 inches wide. They should be deep enough so that the swollen `budding union' on the stem just above the roots will be about an inch below the soil surface. Before the roses are to be planted plunge their roots in a pail of water for a few minutes. When planting, spread, the roots out in the hole without blending or twisting them. Work plenty of soil around the roots to avoid air pockets and to ensure good anchorage. When the hole is about half full pour half a pail of water around the bush. Then firm more soil in to fill the hole and water again. Spring-planted roses should be cut back to leave 4 to 6 inches of stem above the soil. Trim off any dead or broken stems as welt. Newly planted dormant bushes require protection against drying out. Mound soil up around them for ten days or two weeks. This will protect them and help them become established. * Those chicken recipes were so well received last week I have Huron-Perth Presbyterial United Church Women sponsored two consultation days for Citizenship and Social Action, Community Friendship and Visiting and Christian and Missionary Education Committees. North Street United Church Women, Ooderich and Parkview UCW, Stratford, were hostesses for these events. Mrs. Harold 13abensee, Huron-Perth Presbyterial president welcomed the officers at both meetings. The leaders were Mrs. Harry Almost, Citizenship and Social Action; Mrs. J. Axtman, Christian and Missionary Education; Mrs. Bert Alton, Community Friendship and Visiting. Mrs. Babensee and Mrs. Gilbert Beecroft also assisted. The consultation days were well attended and much inspiration and concrete information was received by the secretaries. Posters were liberally used by the leaders to develop their departments. In the Citizenship and Social Action group were seen posters with such titles as "Was Premier Robarts speaking for you on Medicare at the Federal-Provin- cial Conference?", "Is Pierre Berton helping the cause of the Canadian Indian by his TV series?", "What is the greatest problem of the ageing?". uses milk and eggs in a custard with a caramel sauce. CARAMEL CUSTARD CUPS 4 eggs 1/3 cup white sugar V: tsp. vanilla 1/4 tsp salt 3 cups hot milk Beat eggs, add sugar and salt, and blend well. Scald milk and gradually stir into egg mixture. Stir in the vanilla. CARAMEL: Heat 1/2 cup white sugar in a heavy frying pan and stir until melted and amber in color. Immediately add 2 to 3 tsp water, remove pan from heat, and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Spoon the caramel into custard cups, rotating them to coat the bottom and sides. Pour custard mixture on top and place cups in a pan of warm water to oven-poach at 300 degrees, until custard is firm. Add cold water to pan, if necessary, to keep from boiling. This will take 40 to 50 minutes. "Student Revolt — What is good and what is bad about it?". In the afternoon the members were asked to prepare a program from topics found in the newspapers and other publications. Interesting and pertinent skits on poverty and ptIrieesepnitieogh.t of the aged and a topic on drug addiction were Christian & Missionary outlined, duties were The Community Friendship and Visiting representatives discussed the duties of the minister, the elders and the I3CW members. "Who is your neighbour?" was the question one poster. The value of blitz visiting in apartment houses and eyen in ' small church communities was highly rated. Members were Advised to take children with them when they visited older ,people and rest homes as they bring happiness to the shut-in members. Visits to mental hospitals are appreciated especially if these visits include car rides and picnics. Present from this area were Mrs. William Thomson, Mrs. Harvey Pollen, Mrs. Elmer Bell, Mrs. Louis Johns, Mrs. Edwin Miller, Mrs. Clarke Kennedy and Mrs. Al Bariteaux. ASPARAGUS DOGS—Two flavors which complement each other are asparagus and ham. When a slice of ham is spread with mayonnaise mixed with a bit of green onion and rolled around several spears of cooked asparagus, then tucked into a buttered hot dog bun, the result is inviting- indeed! This suggestion came from the home economists of the Canada Department of Agriculture." hey suggest serving them for lunch or for a hearty late evening meal. 4 derided to include another in this week's column.
