Fresh 'Canadian peaches are iere. When buying peaches, choose ,.• orm, ripe, clear skinned ones. • .4 ?ou can judge: ripeness by the 'ground color", that is a creamy 7ellovrnolor behind the blush and a the stem, end. A rosy blush lepends on the variety and while Lt adds to the attractiveness of a peach, it is no indication of lavor .Or maturity. Avoid green ,:iolored peaches. They are im- Mature' and take a long time to ripen. At home sort peaches with ,c3are as they bruise easily. • ;tore underripe ones at room temperature uncovered and away from direct sunlight. Ripe peacheS should be refrigerated and used within 3 to 5 days. T o prevent peeled peaches from turning brown, sprinkle -the surface with lemon juice or orange juice. If they are to be sliced' to top ice cream or short- cake they should be• sprinkled lightly with sugar to start the juices running, . Peaches and • cream are always, a favorite.

Apparently the Toronto Tele- gram regarded Bill Elliott kindly as well. On the wall& his base- ment office hangs a farewell cita- tion signed by the Tely's whole news staff wishing him well in his retirement. After so many years . as a journalist W.'E. Elliott is in a position to make some interest- ing observations about news- papers and politics. ' "Newspapers are doing a bet- ter job today," he notes, "because the system has grown up." "All the systems are so much better. There's the telephone as oppoSed to telegraph and we've got cars." On the trend toward interpre- tive reporting, though, he 'says, "Nuts. Let the readers arrive at their own opinions." "Speaking as one who doesn't read the stuff," he notes, "both Watergate and the Ontario Hydro investigations are being over- played. Iwas a political reporter here so as far as that goes (Watergate) I couldn't care less what happens over there." ' Mr. Elliott feels there will still be a place in the future for. newspapers. "They'll be computerized and people will lose their jobs but local news is still important. People want to read about people they know," he says. Politics though, don't make the stories they used to be- cause they no longer involve people. States. It split parties and it pulled the provincial parties into the campaign as well," he notes. "The zip has gone out of politics. Years ago everyone knew who was a Grit and who was a Tory, you could almost count the votes before the ballots were cast. Why, as boys we used to wear colored armbands to school designating party affilia- tion," he said. "The old campaigns were more emotional," W.E. ob- serves"more personal. There were the big hurrahs at campaign meetings." . In 70 years newspapers have changed and politics have changed but W.E. Elliott is still, report- ing the changes. 'At 90 'he still works, producing freelance news material •for The. Goderich Sig- nal-Star and The London Free Press. Most of that material involves history and old hornes in Huron county. reporter "It takes a lot of research and it's hard work," Bill explains. But hardwork is no stranger to W.E. Elliott.
