An epidemic rages at this time
of the year. I call it the January
"blahs," It strikes the young and
old. Although the symptoms
aren't physically painful, they
are discomforting. The causes
are varied, and as yet, the cure is
undiscovered.
The most severe attack occurs
early in the morning, when the
victim is jolted by a buzzing in his
ear. After the initial shock
passes, he fumbles f or the
source, which is usually an alarm
clock, He tries several methods
to relieve the din. He may bury
his head under a pillow or drop
the clock into a drawer or throw it
into the farthest corner of the
room,
When he finally quiets the
alarm, he slumps back on the bed
exhausted. His peace is short-
lived, however, for he is soon
prodded by the voice of his
conscience.
The murmur begins gently,
but, if unheeded, it builds to a
deafening crescendo: "You've
got to get up. You can't stay
under the warm blankets any
longer. The holiday is over.
You've got to get up. Get up!
GET UP!"
The victim is thus forced to
drag himself out of bed, This
action is hampered by a sluggish
feeling. Most investigations
reveal the sluggishness results
from the consumption of too
much food and drink during the
previous two weeks. An im-
mediate cure is impossible; only
time, exercise and diet will
relieve the inertia. To quickly
Growing favorite houseplants
under artificial lights means that
you can grow a wide range of
indoor plants for year-round
display. Artificial lights are
valuable for propagating new
plants and, quite possibly, for
producing annual seedlings.
Horticulturists R. F. Gomme
and R. A. Fleming, of the Ontario
Ministry of Agriculture and
Food, say that growing plants
under artificial lights can provide
a great deal of,satisfaction to a
home gardener.
"The first step is to choose a
location for your plants, such as
an area of your basement, which
will provide plenty of room for
both the benches and lights.
Sorority studies
aspects of mother
Mrs. Pat Cottrell was hostess to
Exeter Gamma Nu Chapter of
Beta Sigma Phi, Tuesday
evening.
She was assisted in presenting
the program, "Women to Whom
We are Indebted" by Mrs. Donna
Webster. The subject -of their
topic was 'Mother'. The area of
thoughts covered included,
'Mothers were once daughters',
'What is a mother?', and 'Mother
love'.
A reading, 'Open letter to
Mommy' was eady by Mrs.
Cottrell and the program closed
with the following thought:
"Remember, mothers, your next
stages of womanhood could be
grandmother, ,great- grandmother
or great-great-grandmother."
President Elsie Tuckey con-
ducted the short business
meeting at which the members
made plans to assist with the Red
Cross Blood Donors Clinics in
May and September.
During the social period Mrs.
Cottrell and Mrs. Webster Served
refreshments.
Mr. & Mrs. Gordon Appleton,
Exeter, and Wm. Fairbairn,
Hensall, have returned home
after spending Christmas with
the former's daughter and son-in-
law, Mr. & Mrs. Terry
Armiahaw, David and Cara, of
Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan.

disrupt drowsiness, the victim
may splash cold water on his face
or gulp a cup of strong coffee.
The next attack of the "blahs"
strikes when he steps outside. He
is confronted by a fluffy, white
expanse that used to be his
driveway. The mound in the
middle is his car.
Each time he lifts a shovel full
of snow, another muscle strains.
His red nose runs, his fingers
become numb and his toes sting.
The ringing in his ears resumes
when he starts the motor, presses
the accelerator and hears only
the sound of spinning tires,
When he finally arrives at
work, the glare from his boss
informs him he's late. This
causes another symptom of the
"blahs" — chagrin, The victim
feels abashed because he has
already broken one of his New
Year's resolutions. He vowed he
wouldn't be late again.
As the day progresses, a few
more pangs hit him. He forgets to
change the date from 1975 to 1976
and grumbles every time he has
to correct a mistake. His
frustration mounts as he audits
his accounts and discovers his
figures aren't balanced. Then he
experiences a sickening thud in
his stomach when he learns how
much money he has to scrape
together before April.
By the end of the day, he is
exhausted. He collapses on his
bed again. Before he relaxes,
however, his conscience reminds
him, "Set the alarm, You've got
to get up early in the morning. Do
you want to be late again? Set the
alarm. Set it! SET IT!"
The victim spends a restless
night knowing he'll be harrassed
again tomorrow by those
January "blahs."
Basements usually provide
nearly ideal temperatures —
between 16 degrees and 21
degrees C — and somewhat
higher humidity than other
rooms of the house," says Mr.
Gomme.
He suggests that the basic
materials to start out with are a
two- to four-foot lighting unit,
with two fluorescent tubes, a
shallow, waterproof tray about 52
by 18 inches (to place on a table to
hold the plants), an electric timer
to control the lights and two
chains oh the light fixture to
adjust its height above the plants.
"Even under lights, the best
plants to choose are those that
willgrow moderately well in a
bright east window. This will
include most foliage plants and
some flowering plants, such as
begonias, African violets and
gloxinias," says Mr. Fleming.
"Most plants will thrive at a
distance of eight to 12 inches
below the light source if they're
exposed to the light for 14 to 16
hours each day."
As indoor gardeners become
more accustomed to gardening
under lights, the horticulturists
suggest that they might try
producing their annual seedlings
for next spring's flow-tr beds or
possibly some of the smaller
woody shrubs.
Mr. Fleming states that good
ventilation is essential to prevent
excessive heat buildup from the
lamps and the ballasts of the
fluorescent fixtures. Light
reflection can be increased by
hanging foil wrap around the
unit. For tropical plants that
thrive on higher humidity levels,
the entire unit can be surrounded
with a plastic curtain to maintain
the moisture level within the
garden area.
A spotless house isn't worth it if
your husband and children find
you too cranky to live with.
There are several ways to cut
down a homemaker's work and
time and still allow her to conduct
a home that is tidy and 'nice to
come home to',
A good idea is to take short
work breaks to combat fatigue
and relieve boredom. Let your
equipment work for you. Utilize
every piece to its best advantage.
Don't try to do all your heavy
tasks in one day. Space
housecleaning jobs over the
week.
Dovetail jobs; as you wait for
dinner to cook, prepare school
lunches for the next day, or as
you dry the dinner dishes, put
them back on the table for next
morning's breakfast,
Work to music; it creates
rhythm in your movements and
helps keep your spirits high.
Let your children help with
simple household tasks. It not
only teaches them the meaning of
responsibility, but does lighten
your work load.
Menu planning will reduce the
number of shopping trips you
need to make per week, thus
saving valuable time.
Wear low heeled comfortable
shoes and loose clothing for
housework and use your body
properly . . . straining any one
muscle can reduce your working
efficiency to zero,
Use dishes that can be cooked,
served and stored in to reduce
washing up.
Our language
is egg-enriched
We speak of intellectuals as
"egg heads" and when we dare
someone we "egg them on".
A gathering without men is a
"hen party".
A shy person who unbends a
little has "come out.of his shell".
Some people "cluck" disap-
provingly at you and then
"cackle" over your discomfort.
An unsuccessful comedian
"lays an egg" or stands there
"with egg on his face".
Someone you like is "a good
egg".
A troublemaker is a "had egg".
A tough guy is "hard boiled".
The investment counsellor
cautions you "not to put all your
eggs in one basket",
A husband whose wife
dominates him is "hen pecked".
People "hatch up" plots
against their enemies.
Dad complains that his salary
is "chicken feed" and Junior says
he wants to "leave the nest".
When you consider all this, a
rooster really has something to
crow about.
Recently a friend who lives
alone called with the plea, "Have
you got any recipes for those who
live alone and cook only for
themselves?" She said how
difficult it becomes sometimes to
make up interesting and tasty
meals without cooking too much
and wasting food.
Her conversation put me on a
search for a book I knew about
but couldn't locate, "Cooking For
One" by Norah Wilmot. It was
my good friend and fellow
worker, Madeline Witmer who
finally came to the rescue by
digging out her copy.
The following are a few recipes
from the book and I will use
others from time to time.
Perhaps some of you readers
have other suggestions you would
like to share with those who
prepare meals only for them-
selves.
One thing the writer of
"Cooking for One" advises is to
purchase small, easy to clean .
cooking ware.
Elegant Shepherd's pie
.1 4 lb. ground beef
1 small onion or two green ones
thinly sliced
1 4 c. chopped celery
1 4 tsp. dry mustard

Pepper to taste
l tsp. Kitchen Bouquet (optional)
Brown meat well — stirring to
separate it, Add the consomme
and all seasonings. Simmer with
the added onion and celery for ten
minutes or so, If it needs
thickening sprinkle with a little
flour and stir it until it is just
right for potato topping.
Prepare "Instant Mashed
Potatoes" according to direc-•
tions, Transfer the hot meat
mixture to buttered casserole
and heap the potato on top.
Sprinkle on a little finely chopped
parsley and paprika to make it
look pretty and serve it at once. If
you care to put it in the oven for a
minute to brown a bit, you may
like it better, but this way is a
quick "top stove" method and is
delicious,

seasoning. Now draw up all sides
of foil into a "drugstore"
wrapped parcel. Have it well
sealed, but not too tight.
Place parcel in a pan and bake
for one hour in a 300 oven You
might put two'or three apples in

with an afternoon of organ music
on Wednesday with Ed Stiles of
Goderich at the console. Mrs,
Betty Rogers sang several solo
numbers and led the singing of
Christmas Carols. Mrs. Scratch
thanked Betty and Ed on behalf
of the residents.
Mr. Dick Roorda led the
Sunday evening song service
sponsored by the Clinton
Christian Reformed Church and
Mrs. Elsie Henderson played the
paino for the singing of Christ-
mas music, The Junior Choir
provided their own guitar ac-
companiment for several
selections with a vocal duet by
Ann Johltman and Cobie Amsing.
Mrs. Elsie Henderson and
Norman Speir provided the old
time music for the first part of
