(235-1018) The name, La Leche, is Spanish and means "the milk." A non- sectarian, non-profit organization, the League's purpose is to help encourage "good mothering through breastfeeding." The group will meet the 2nd Wednesday of each month. A series of four meetings will discuss, informally, different phases of breastfeeding. Topic for first meeting: Advantages of Breastfeeding to Mother and Child. Discussion leader will be Janis Bisback. All women who are interested in nursing their babies are in- vited... as are their babies. You need not be pregnant or even have a family to attend. If you are a wife and hope some day to have children, if you are a grandmother, if you are in- terested you are welcome. La Leche League began in a Chicago suburb 25 years ago, when one mother who had suc- cessfully nursed' her baby, held another who wanted to breast- feed. This is still the basic approach, although the League is now international in scope, with more than 3300 groups helping thousands of women in United States, Canada, and over 42 foreign countries.

No one seems to know what Margaret is up to. Lately she's been busy "doing her own thing," and the gossips in Canada and abroad have been having a field day. When she made her singing debut a few months ago, the remarks varied from "touching" to "embarrassing." Fears con- cerning her emotional stability were murmured. I remained non-committal. After all, who am Ito criticize? I can't carry a tune either, Later she shocked the ladies in Washington by wearing a knee- length dress to a function at which the others wore floor- length gowns. Mrs. Carter was Good eating guide ready These days, so much is written about nutrition that you may wonder if indeed you are feeding your family well. "Follow a guide to good eating, plan your menus accordingly and you should be well fed," say food specialists at the Ontario Food Council, Ministry of Agriculture and Food. The Ontario Food Council dis- tributes free of charge a one page Guide to Good Eating. It suggests you eat according to food groups. There are four food groups: milk, meat, fruit and vegetables, cereals, bread and pastas. The Guide tells you how many servings from each group you should eat ,each day. If you prefer to eat six times a day, just make sure you've had the total number of servings from each food group in that day. It's easy. Following the Guide will make it much easier for you to plan meals and shop according to the plan. So request "Guide to Good Eating Every Day" from the On- tario Food Council, Ministry of Agriculture and Food, Legislative Buildings, Queen's Park, Toronto, Ontario M7A 2B2 reported to be perturbed. I thought, "Bravo, Margaret! You're doing your own thing again." Frankly, I'm more con- cerned with inflation and un- employment, than the length of Margaret's skirt but then, I'm not schooled in the demands of proper etiquette. When she uttered a four-letter word in a couple of interviews, I was not upset. Even the most mild-mannered people let those words slip now and again, and Pierre is noted for lashing out with more than the four-letter kind. She attended two perfor- mances of the Rolling Stones in succession. Not being a Rolling Stones' fan, I couldn't imagine sitting through the show for two nights in a row, but to each her own. Meanwhile, the gossips were convinced she was follow- ing Nick Jagger, and hanky- panky was intimated. When she began studying photography, no one seemed to object. Why shouldn't she pursue her personal interests? It was "cute" for her to photograph her son's birthday party along with the other photographers. When her interest developed into more than a hobby, though, the at- titude changed. Yes, Margaret has been busy "doing her own thing." When she returned from one of her es- capades, Pierre supposedly gave her a black eye. She confided to friends, who immediately con- fided to reporters, who turned the incident into headline news. She reportedly says she's tired of public life. She's bored with shaking hands and cutting rib- bons. She's fed up with Secret Service men following her and with the press monitoring her every move. Ironically, she has received more exposure since she started "doing her own thing" than when she was just the Prime Minister's wife. When she married Pierre Trudeau, she took on more responsibilities than being a wife and a mother. Some people con- tend she is shirking those respon- sibilities, and maybe they're right. In many ways, I sympathize with her. I value my privacy, and I believe everyone is entitled to the same privilege. I also feel everyone should be able to fulfill themselves as individuals. I have only one bone to pick with her, If she's tired of public life, does she want to be treated as an ordinary Jane? If so, she's going about it in the wrong way. Most ordinary Janes don't work in a foreign land without a work permit as she did on a photographic assignment in New York, nor do they hop a jet for a personal jaunt and expect the na- tion to pay for it. They don't do their own "thing" at the coun- try's expense. Asparagus in a quiche From now until mid June, fresh Ontario asparagus will be on the market. It's the perfect time to serve this recipe for quiche, a favorite of food specialists at the Ontario Food Council, Ministry of Agriculture and Food. Try it for lunch or supper. The asparagus is cooked until just tender crisp and combined with basic quiche ingredients, The asparagus tips are added at the end of the baking for the crowning touch. Asparagus Quiche 1 unbaked 9-inch pie shell 1 pound fresh asparagus 11/4 cups (1/2 pint) 18 percent cream 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese 1/3 cup grated Swiss cheese 4 eggs, beaten 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper Partially bake pie 'shell at 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) for 10 minutes. Snap off and discard woody base of asparagus stalks, Carefully drop 2 to 3 stalks of asparagus at a time into rapidly boiling water, in a fry pan, until all asparagus is in water. Cook, uncovered, 7 minutes. Drain immediately. Chill in cold water, drain. Cut the top 11/2 inches off each spear, reserve, Cut the remaining stalks into v4 inch pieces; place in pastry shell. Combine the cream, cheeses, eggs, salt and pepper; pour over asparagus in pastry shell. Bake in preheated 350 degree F (180 degree C) oven for 30 minutes or until the custard is almost set. Stick the asparagus tips upright into the quiche. Return quiche to the oven until it is firm, not more than 5 minutes. Serve im- mediately.
