Heavens, no, Some of the world's dullest people have Winston Churchill's complete Set of works while others will give choice display space to their old Nancy Drew books, and there's many a household shelf filled with fancy, gold lettered, leather bindings that are only taken down when they need dusting. No, the test of character, ac- cording to this article, is not what's inside the books but how they are organized, Decent folk, it seems, have sytems for their books , • . a sort of scaled down version of your public library with a filing system. Or, they may have groupings of different subjects on separate shelves so that the owner knows exactly where to lay his hand in a particular book. Sad to say, people like me who just jam their books in the shelves any old way don't come out very well character-wise, We are the irresponsible ones who use old letters to mark our places, who forget our books are due at the library .. who may indeed even deny they have a late library book until, months later, they find it squashed in at the bottom of the heap. We also are the kind who forget we've driven the car up town and walk home, and who spend most of our lives looking for things we've put in special places so we won't forget them. Right on. Well, if the book shelf experts can tell that much about looking over my books I shudder to think what they'd divulge if they came upon my system for filing recipes. The other day I was confronted with the fact that the only thing I had in the house for dessert was a lonely can of pears. Somehow, nude pears seemed a dismal way to end our supper. But what can you do with a can of pears. Well, I remembered, sometime back in the past, I used to make Cream Pear Pie . maybe I could find the recipe. The search was on. My recipes are stored in an ordinary kitchen drawer, 18 inches deep. It's crammedto over flowing, with old cook books, Mary Hastings supplements dating back to 1948, hundreds of clippings and pages I've torn out of magazines, and recipes from friends, scribbled on everything from serviettes to backs of calendars. From it eminates the sour odor of old paper that has been soaked in spilled baking ingedients for 25 years or so. In short, it's such an unholy mess that I hate to open it and for five years or more have baked only stuff I know off by heart. One look was almost enough to make me decide to eat the pears straight from the can, but my mouth was set for pie, and maybe this was the time to finally get at the job of cleaning out the drawer. After digging out all the books started in on the pile of musty papers. I picked up a yellowed page on which the title of the recipe in fading pencil was barely discernible. "Mollie's Punch" it said, With effort I could make out the ingredients , . , hmmmmm, not much wonder Mollie had such good parties. It went in the 'to keep' pile! Next was a tattered clipping with a list of obituaries . . . what in the world? On turning it over I found, 'Salads with Zest'. Decided that was a dead issue. A 1961 page from the Toronto Daily Star had all kinds of glamorous desserts. More in- teresting, though, was the Ann Landers column dishing out her usual menu of troubled marital affairs and teenage problems, I came upon a booklet of peanut butter animal sand- wiches . . which reminded me of a long-agobirthday party when one of the small guests tried to swallow the tooth pick that held the doggie sandwich together. A terrific way to entertain the rest of the kids, I found, Another piece of scraggly paper produced our 1959 Christmas menu. Heaven only knows why I stuck that in the drawer, but it looks like we ate well, anyway. A wee, curled up scrap held "Eileen's Rickity Uncles", Boy, I used to turn them out by the hundreds when the children were small and we needed quick desserts. The only ingredients were brown sugar, oatmeal and butter. Apparently, back in '58 I'd tossed the whole weekend sup- plement of the Globe and Mail into the drawer becuase it had some good looking recipes in it. It also contained tremendously interesting articles on subjects from 'Rediscovering the Ice Age' to a story by Arthur Godfrey entitled, 'With 20 Minutes a Day I can Master Anything'. Inspiring reading, I found. Next came a sheet, 'An International Dinner for 800' I must have felt ambitious the day I clipped out that one! And, so it went. Page after page, clipping after clipping, recipe after recipe, usually quickly scrawled on slips of paper, and stashed away to be used 'sometime later'. Finally, I came upon the Cream Pear Pie recipe I was looking for. I glanced at the clock. Good Grief, no time for pie now and certainly no time to straighten up the drawer so I dumped it all back in, opened up the pears and threw supper on the table. What would the experts say about that, I wonder. Start planning fund raising Members of the South Huron Association for the Mentally Retarded met with the members of the Goderich Association in Clinton, Tuesday night, for the purpose of proceeding with plans to start a campaign to purchase land and build a sheltered workshop for this region. Paul Carroll of Goderich was chosen as chairman for the regional campaign, with Case Van Raay as chairman for South Huron and Rev. W.D. Jarvis as public relations chairman. Other committee chairmen will be chosen in the near future. A great deal of enthusiasm was evident at the meeting which was also attended by Janet Button, regional representative, The fund raising campaign will be held in late winter or spring to purchase the land and to erect the first stage of the workshop. A meeting will be held January 31 to consolodate plans. At this time all committee chairmen will have been chosen and final arrangrnents will be made.
