Marguerite prepared all the pastry for the dining room, almost from the time she and Ross were married. For Ross, being a chef and hotelier was traditional. His grandfather, Robert Ross Johnston, who emigrated to Zurich from Belfast, Ireland, ran the same hotel till his death in 1915, William, Ross' father, then took over. The hotel changed hands briefly before Ross became owner, When health problems obliged him to retire, the hotel passed out of the family again. THEY KNOW THEIR PASTRY - Ross and Marg Johnston have a way with food. For the past seven years they have run the very successful Pie-Tart Shop on highway 21, just south of St. Joseph. Earlier they gave the dining room of Zurich's Dominion Hotel a reputation for fine food that brought customers from great distances.

GROCERY FTEMS In what was to have been the breezeway of their retirement home on highway 21 near St. Joseph, Ross (Tubby) and Marguerite Johnston opened a pastry shop in 1970. It prospered with a speed that left them a lit- tle breathless. Business has tripled in the last seven years. Recently, they bak- ed 286 pies on a weekend mor- ning, while neighbours still slept. By 2:30 p.m, the same day, every one had been sold. If a stranger comments that the small sign out front makes their Pie-Tart Shop hard to find, they laugh. The Johnstons are no longer trying to find more customers, They have cut out large orders and limited themselves to counter sales, but plan to continue taking orders for mincemeat pies and tarts and butter tarts for Thanksgiving and Christmas. The shop is closed Monday and Tuesday. Other days it's open from 10 a.m. till everything is sold. After Christmas each year they migrate to West Palm Beach, Florida, to take it easy till early spring. "I've always liked baking pies", said Marg. "It doesn't seem like work." They make all their pastry by hand, mixing and hand-rolling it themselves. It's "made with lov- ing care", they explain. The dry ingredients - flour, shortening and salt - are com- bined in plastic tubs about two feet across. At 2 a.m., while the air is still cool, they start the day's work. The baking is finish- ed about seven hours later. The only thing they add is ice- water. How much? Marguerite says she has no idea. "I go by feel - till it feels right." She and Ross roll out enough pastry for only one pie at a time. Most contain fresh fruit, but they also make cream-filled pies. They are baked in a special 40- pie propane-heated oven. The Johnstons have never burned an ovenful. "We've been most for- tunate", said Marguerite. The couple used to live in Zurich, where they ran the Dominion Hotel. Their fine cuisine brought diners from all over Canada. Reservations were made days ahead and customers lined up to get in.
