CHICKENSgBy ELAINE TOWNSHEND I knew I was disorganized, but I didn’t realize how bad­ ly until I began cleaning my filing cabinet, which con­ tains copies of my columns and stories and ideas and in­ formation for future topics. I didn’t tackle the job because I was suddenly seiz­ ed by a streak of ambition or by an attack of spring clean­ ing fever but simply because I couldn’t put it off any longer. The cabinet sits con­ veniently near the desk and the telephone ensuring that information is at my finger­ tips when I want it. But, in recent weeks, finding a cer­ tain item in a hurry had become difficult, if not im­ possible. My foolproof system of filing everything alphabetically had failed, and I knew why. Usually I filed a column or story according to the first letter in the first word of the title. But sometimes, if the story was about a person, I used the first letter in his or her last name and oc­ casionally the first letter in his or her first name. Therefore, a story with a title beginning with the letter “A” might end up in the “V” section or the “F” section, depending on my mood. I paid for my inconsisten­ cy. When needing an article for reference, I looked in the most logical places first, then in the less logical ones and finally in the most un­ likely places. Inevitably I rummaged through the whole drawer proving time and time again a frustrating fact of life: If you start looking at the front, what you want is at the back; if you start at the back, what you want is at the front, and if you start in Thermometers are time saving devices Be good to yourself or to a friend. Buy a thermometer. It’s ideal as a gift and useful in your own kitchen, suggest the food specialists at the Ontario Food Council. Ministry of Agriculture and Food. Three particularly useful kitchen ther­ mometers are for the refrigerator/freezer, the Institute to mark event The South Huron Women’s Institute will mark their 75th anniversary with a special banquet on April 6. The formation of the South Huron district was un­ dertaken on January 9, 1903 in Exeter. One highlight of the an­ niversary celebration will be a review of the history as prepared by Mrs. A. Rundle. The guest speaker on that occasion will be Mrs. Herb Maluske, Chesley, past president of the FWIO. The banquet is being held at the Pineridge Chalet. Shelley Weber and Barbara Ratz, Yvonne Jaques and Karen Brock are vacationing in Florida for two weeks. oven, and for meat. Refrigerator/freezer ther­ mometers indicate whether the refrigerator and freezer are operating at the optimal temperature to prevent food-quality deterioration and possible food spoilage. Check that the refrigerator is registering 4*C (40"F) or lower, and the freezer -18 °C (0e F) or lower. Oven thermometers check the accuracy of the oven’s heat gauge. If your baked foods take longer to cook than prescribed in the recipe, you need an oven thermometer. Not only will it give a true reading of the oven temperature, but it also will save you the extra time it took to keep checking the baking food. A meat thermometer is useful for roasting and is placed in the meat at the start of cooking. It will in­ dicate the meat’s internal temperature. Such ther­ mometers generally are labeled with recommended internal temperatures for several kinds of meat, so it’s easy to cook any meat to the desired degree of doneness. When buying a ther­ mometer, you’ll notice that most include both metric (Celsius) and Fahrenheit temperatures. It’s a good idea to purchase a ther­ mometer that is marked in this way. It will help you get accustomed to seeing Celsius temperatures in the kitchen. The dual markings will still allow you to’relate to Fahrenheit temperatures for old recipes when necessary. the middle, you go the wrong way. By the time I found what I was looking for, I was too rushed or too angry to figure out where it belonged. I just shoved it into the mis­ cellaneous file, and when one miscellaneous file over­ flowed, I began another one. It was a vicious circle. •One night last week I decided enough was enough, and I attacked the confusion with a vengeance. One file led to another; one drawer led to another, and one cubby-hole led to another. For three evenings and one morning, I doggedly sorted and filed, and after each ses­ sion, my fireplace blazed with useless and out-dated information. I found some interesting things though — carbon copies of stories and columns I had given up hope of ever seeing again, old letters I can’t remember answering and family pic­ tures taken at Christmas 1976 that I hadn’t seen since New Years 1977. I packed some cor­ respondence into a box in the storeroom “to be dealt with later,” and the rest of the material I systematically into the cabinet. Now I can drawers open without fear of loose papers flippingout at me or bulging files jamming the drawers. There is a place for everything, and everything is in its place. But I still can’t find anything. Ladies tie three quilts The March meeting of Trivitt Memorial Anglican Church Women was held in the Parish Hall Tuesday morning. The members tied three quilts. Mrs. L. Gibson and Mrs. H. Bierling served lunch and the business was conducted in the afternoon, The members are to attend a meeting in St. James Parish Hall, St. Marys, on April 18 in place of their usual meeting. The annual meeting of Anglican Church Women is to be held in St. James (Westminster), London, on April 27 when the president Mrs. A. Elston and several members hope to attend. The thankoffering is presented at this time. Members were reminded to save their stamps and old eye glasses. A garage sale is planned for some time later, possibly in September. Mrs. Anderson closed the meeting with prayer when the sick and shut-in mem­ bers of the church were remembered. Recently Ontario Hydro workers saved the life of a fellow worker who had suf­ fered a heart attack; a Provincial Police officer and a Public Health nurse revived a drowning victim; three Army cadets gave First Aid to a cyclist in­ volved in a collision with a motor vehicle. These are only a sampling of the many people in On­ tario who are given awards by St. John Ambulance for saving lives by using the First Aid skills they learned in St. John Ambulance First Aid courses. Today St. John Ambulance is the foremost authority on First Aid in Canada and there are hundreds of thousands of people in On­ tario who have been trained to help others in this way. St. John has introduced new teaching methods such as the Multi-Media System which combines the course on film, workbooks and skill practice. This is. proving most effective in industry, in uniformed groups such as firemen, police forces, hospital workers or bus drivers, and in schools for teachers and students. In special research pro­ jects conducted over a five year period, St. John Am­ bulance has proved con­ clusively that people trained in their safety oriented First Aid courses have as much as 30% fewer accidents than those not trained. The statistical research reports compiled by York Universi­ ty verify this result. This study was conducted in Ontario and industry in the province, and in Canada,, is rapidly becoming aware of the enormous benefits to be gained by incorporating the First Aid training in 'their safety program. When everybody in a firm is being trained in First Aid, this is the St. John LIFE training (Learn Industrial View film at Hensail At the March meeting of Unit two of Hensail United Church, Mrs. Kaye Mock presented a film strip on, “The Caribbean Crescent” for the topic. Thoughts of spring were introduced by Mrs. Diane Gerstekorn who gave the devotional. She read, “Springtime Again” to open and led in prayer with thoughts of spring. The meeting was presided over by Mrs. Joyce Pepper and roll call, naming favourite person in the Bi­ ble, was answered by 11 peo­ ple. In the businesssession, an invitation to Kippen U.C.W. was accepted and helpers with .the funeral lunch served recently were thanked. Also, the members of Unit two were invited to participate in 25th Wedding Anniversary of Mona and Vern Alderdice. At the close. Mrs. Pat Venner and Mrs. Peggy Forrest served lunch. First Aid Effectively). Here’s what happens. First, a number of employees are trained in the 16 hour Stan­ dard First Aid course to meet the requirements of the Workmen’s Compensa­ tion Act First Aid Regulations. From this group some are selected to be trained by St. John as First Aid Instructors and they in turn can then train all their fellow employees. The advantage of this is that the training is done on com­ pany time and at the con­ venience of the company and the employees. It has ” the added advantage of get- | ting the safety message . across to employees about ' particular hazards within . the type of operation carried on by the industry. It ■ achieves results because the First Aid training makes I people more aware of the ' dangers in their work areas . and makes them more safe-’ ty conscious while teaching them what to do and what, not to do if an accident does1 happen. St. John Ambulance stresses the need for every household to have someone trained in First Aid. Know­ ing what to do in the first, few minutes when someone ' is ill or injured may make the difference between life and death.
