Co-op nursery program STRAWBERRIES A late Sunday afternoon and it's time for tea - scones, strawberry preserves and whipped cream. But the strawberry jam must be just right - rich berry colored, true berry flavored, not too sweet and just a touch runny. Sheer delight! Fresh Ontario strawberries are here, and so is the perfect jam recipe. Food specialists at the Ontario Food Council, Ministry of Agriculture and Food, who developed the recipe comment that once you have tried this one, there will never be another strawberry jam in your life! Strawberry Jam 4 lb Farm. Fresh Strawberries (12 cups prepared) (for a good set, use berries which *are just ripe) 4 lb granulated sugar (9 cups) Hull the rinsed strawberries. Put them into a pot over very gentle heat. Press the berries against the sides of the pot with a wooden spoon to extract the juice. They should be soft in about 10 to 15 minutes. Add the sugar slowly and stir until it's dissolved. Bring the jam to a fast rolling boil and boil it for exactly 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Let the jam stand for about 5 minutes, then skim and stir so that the berries will be evenly dispersed through the jam and pour into hot sterilized jars. Cover at once with 1/2 inch paraf- fin. Cool, then cover with tight lids. COOKING FROM THE CUPBOARD Pound Cake makes a delicious dessert on its own or served with fresh fruit or ice cream.

Fruit Whip To economy-minded con- sumers, skim milk powder is a boon to the budget. It's a nourishing, convenient food that can be used as a beverage or in any recipe that calls for milk. It also has one added advantage - it can be whipped! Cold water, lemon juice and skim milk powder are beaten together until the mixture stands in firm peaks. This is most ac- ceptable when the accompanying flavor is a distinct one such as orange, plum and pineapple. Food Advisory Services, Agriculture Canada take pride in offering these tested recipes of "Fruit Whips". They're real lifesavers when it comes to fresh summer desserts!

With a successful garage sale last Saturday to buoy their spirits, a group of people who are forming Exeter's first co- operative nursery school feel assured that the programs will be ready to go by the fall. The school will be located in the primary room of Exeter United Church. Initial plans have been okayed by the Ministry of Community and Social Services and now the Church facility must he approved for use ,by local inspection departments. The fire department has already made its inspection and given approval. Still to come are inspections by the Huron County Health Unit and the town building inspector. Mrs, Evelyn Reeves of Exeter who is the contact personfor the nursery program, which will be called Children Inc„ says that once the facility has been okayed by local officials that it must go back to the Ministry for final approval. She told the T-A that the group of parents involved with the school want to have it registered as a non-profit charitable institution. A sum of $1,000 had been estimated as the minimum amount of capital required to operate the school for one year. To meet this requirement, parents will pay a registration fee and a number of fund raising activities are being staged, in- cluding the garage sale last Saturday which raised some $300 towards that purpose. A draw on several craft items will be held in July, but Mrs. Reeves says that further fund-raising will probably wait until the fall since summer is a difficult time to raise money with people going away on vacations. The co-operative nursery will be run by the parents who will decide on policy, elect officers each year, and hire a teacher. In addition to the teacher, two parents will be on hand to fill teaching roles at the nursery. The idea is that two different parents will take this role each day, allowing for maximum exposure [ Over 80 Club 1 Mrs, Mary J. Mollard, Huronview, Clinton, 90 years old, June 11. and experience for the children during any. month's time at school. Mrs. Reeves says that she hopes that fathers will be willing to take turns in the teaching role as well. She says that the nursery differs from a day-care centre in that parents are invited to directly participate and also because the program will only run in the mornings. Two programs will operate, a two-day program on Tuesdays and Thursdays and a three-day program on the other weekdays, Mrs. Reeves indicates that 15 participants in each program would be. about the right number for the school and notes that there are still openings available. "The object of the school is to provide a learning experience , not only for the children but for the young mothers and hopefully the fathers as well. Mothers will get a lot out of it because they will meet other mothers in the same situation and can compare and talk about experiences. For the children, it will be an opportunity for them to be exposed to a varietyof experiencesand stimuli that they would probably not encounter if they were just at home all day,' says Mrs. Reeves.
