A SPECIAL INVITATION TO ALL HUSBANDS AND MEN NO ADMISSION CHARGE OR COLLECTION AT THIS MAMMOTH RALLY Annual country fair set for Colborne hall The fourth annual "Christmas Co un try Fair," Colborne Township's unique•arts anderafts show by Huron County artist craftsmen, is to take place in century old Colborne Township Hall at Carlow. Those facilities have been enlarged this past year to accommodate the large crowds from all over Western Ontario and even parts of Michigan who like to attend, The Hall which was built in 1882 was originally a coaching inn, a convenient stopping place for the early settlers going from Lucknow to Goderich.. It will be decorated as it might have been at Christmas Teachers meet pupils' parents Many parents attended the Exeter Home and School meeting held last Tuesday evening to "Meet the Teachers." Mrs. Moira Cooper, Hensall, who is President of the Perth-Huron Council of the Home and School, gave a short summary of the alms of the Council. The main purpose is to bring about a closer relationship between teachers, parents and the County Board. Parents needed to be more aware of their child's education. Before meeting the teachers in their various rooms, Mr. Idle introduced them all in the gymnasium. The next meeting will be held Tuesday, November 18, time then with garlands of holly and evergreen putting everyone into a Christmassy mood early enough to purchase some beautiful and exquisitely made local crafts for gifts. About 20 artists and craftsmen from Colborne Township sponsor this show but about 20 more from the rest of Huron County will also assist to provide greater variety. "Rya" rugs which originated in Scandinavia will be shown by Swedish born Martha Wikholm, a farm wife near Massley, while a local Dutch Canadian will display Dutch embroidered miniatures. Shirley Smith, a summer resident of Grand Bend is to show batik, while Mrs. R, Peck of Hensall expected that there will be several quilts and the new "Baby Go" an original baby carrier. These are only a few of the more than 40 crafts to be shown. Over 30 farm women will keep the bake table full of tasty baking which will be brought in continuously both days. Wednesday, October 29 and Saturday, November 1 from 2-9 p.m. continuously. Admission is free! For extra special sausage patties, form 1 pound of sausage meat in 6 patties which are about 1/2 inch thick. Panfry until well done, remove from heat and keep hot. Add 6 pineapple slices to pan and sprinkle with brown sugar and a little nutmeg; saute until golden brown. WITH SHIRLEY J. KELLER I don't get many questions from readers concerning home and community happenings, but once in a while someone will stop me on the street or telephone me with a query. This week it was a telephone call from someone who prefers to remain anonymous and that's l ust fine with me. This person is ooking for new ways to serve oysters. Would you believe that I have never tasted oysters? What's more, I have absolutely no desire whatsoever to indulge. I'm not a seafood fan. About as enthusiastic as I get over something "fishy" is a salmon salad sandwich or the odd ' serving of fish and chips. I have looked through my files here at the T-A and come up with a big fat zero — except for one saving discovery. An address. If the reader will write to Information and Consumer Service, Department of Fisheries, Ottawa, Canada, I'm positive there will be plenty of literature available concerning the preparation of oysters. It is all free, too! * * * I had another query a few months back from a lady who wondered if there was any information on how much it should cost a family of four for roceries each week. Again I have drawn a blank although I'm absolutely certain that somewhere someone has pursued that subject in detail. I can only relay to you the ;X:•;:"/ 4.4 • e•- • 4 ***A4 Vifte:Of !MP F.4 (44,1 findings of a friend of mine who is a marvellous manager. This girl keeps a record of food costs from year to year and makes a real business out of shopping. She claims that $5 per head is ample for one week. In other words, she believes that an average family of four can eat very well on $20 per week. At the Keller household where there are five mouths, we spend an average of $30 weekly — or $6 per head, Before deciding that the Kellers are extravagant you should know about some of the differences between my friend's shopping habits and mine. Her grocery list doesn't include such articles as detergent, hand soap, toothpaste, shaving lotion, toilet paper, tissues and other sundries. It is strictly food. She buys in bulk but never unless she sees a sale. For instance, she may buy 30 lbs. of chicken at one time but claims she never pays over 33 cents per lb. I frequently pay more than that for chicken. She uses all powdered milk and margarine. The Kellers enjoy butter and two percent. My friend does all her own baking and preparation of foods. Quite often I'll buy something or other for convenience sake, for instance a pie filling or a package of frozen vegetables. We are alike in some other respects. We don't buy much in the way of extras. I don't very often bring home potato chips, soft drinks, chocolate milk mixes, exotic cheeses, tempting new products etc. We stick to the staples for the most part. Our menus would probably be considered drab and uninteresting in many homes. Still we preserve a balanced diet for the entire family. I still maintain that to do that is much less expensive than to dress up your menus with extras that do little more than add color or variety or a new flavor. My friend maintains that Canadians should eat a little more economically and share their abundance with persons who don't have enough food to keep body and soul together. She has a good point. Gluttony is sinful. * * * Had a few surprised comments from folks after last week's column. Apparently there are those who disagree that Hallowe'en treats should be wholesome as well as delicious. Of course, everyone is entitled to his own opinion. I never had any illusions that every one of my readers would be in total agreement with me on that subject any more than they are on some other subjects. Still I'm pressing for more wholesome treats for children this Hallowe'en. _For those of you who have maple syrup and would like a chance to use some of it for Hallowe'en, here's one idea. MAPLE SYRUP-COATED POPCORN (8) 1/4 cup salad oil 1/2 cup popcorn 1/2 cup maple syrup 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 tsp. salt Heat the oil in a 4-quart kettle over medium heat for three minutes. Add popcorn. Cover, leaving small air space at edge of cover. Shake frequently over medium heat until popping stops. Meanwhile, mix together maple syrup, sugar and salt. Add to popped corn in kettle and stir constantly over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes or until corn is evenly and completely coated with mixture. Remove from heat and spread on cookie sheets to cool. * * * Pork is a good buy right now. Here's how to use spareribs. MARINATED SPARERIBS 3 to 4 pounds pork spareribs 1 teaspoon salt Boiling water 1 cup chili sauce % cup lemon juice % cup grated fresh onion 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard 11/2 teaspoons salt teaspoon paprika 2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce Early in the day, cut spareribs into 2 or 3 rib sections and place them in a large saucepan; add the 1 teaspoon salt and just enough boiling water to cover. Bring to a boil, then simmer, covered for 1 hour or until about two-thirds done. (or cook in a pressure cooker for 15 minutes at 15 pounds pressure). Drain ribs and place them in a glass or stainless steel bowl. Combine chili sauce and remaining ingredients and spoon over ribs, coating each piece. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or let stand at room temperature for an hour; turning ribs occasionally. Preheat oven to 350 degrees or prepare a bed of coals on your barbecue. When ready, drain excess marinade from the ribs and reserve it. To bake, arrange ribs with meaty sides up, in a single layer in a shallow pan, Bake, uncovered, for 25 to 30 minutes or until nicely browned, brushing occasionally with reserved marinade. To barbecue, cook ribs over moderate coals for about 20 minutes or until nicely browned. Turn occasionally and brush with reserved marinade during last few minutes. Makes about 4 servings. * * Food tucked away in a can and stored on the kitchen shelf is a form of insurance for today's busy menu planner. When the storage area boasts a variety of canned vegetables, fruits and meats, the family is guaranteed good eating when the food money has been depleted. Various supermarkets have featured "specials" on these convenience foods and many wise homemakers have stocks on hand. Canned foods withstand seemingly adverse conditions such as freezing or high temperatures as long as the cans themselves have not been damaged to allow air inside the can. However, the food may not be as attractive in appearance or as firm in texture. The home economists of the Canada Department of Agriculture, Ottawa have had many requests for ways to use canned vegetables in casseroles, salads, etc. The result of these inquiries is a new pamphlet which has just been released. This timely booklet. gives buying information tintl various ways to serve canned vegetables. Canned corn, cream style, is featured in a chowder; ',,YhOle kernel corn in casseroles, a salad and a relish, Canned tomatoes are used in various main dishes and a jellied salad as well as relishes: Canned peas appear in some main dishes. There are several recipes for using canned beets, green beans and tomato juice, toeic. your storage shelves with canned vegetables and be prepared to try these attractive and carefuly seasoned reeipes, Write for your copy of "Thrifty Meals. with Canned.
