The pump handle broke in January and it has been doing service ever since wrapped up rather bulkily with some fence wire, I've cut my gloves on it twice.

The main reason is perhaps 'the good flavour we get when we eat it at the table in preference to the- aroma in the house . at 'bedtime whenever fish is fried. .Fish is really steam-cooked when you wrap it in cookery parch- ment foil or paper so you d6 not see anybrownness but we smother it with egg or tomato sauce anyway, Leftover fish makes a favourite dish in the form of cakes or loaf. You combine cooked fish and mashed pot- atoes well, beating until fluffy and free from lumps. Then chill the mixture until it can be handled -easily when shaping cling cakes. Use only sufficient fat to cover the bottom of the frying pan. When you look over our recipe you will see that fish cakes are easy to make. And if you make your meal preparations well in advance the pat- ties are better. They may be mixed in the morning, covered and set, in the electric refrigerator. Then at dinner time they can be cooked in 8 minutes. Even the sauce to serve with them may be cooked' in advance and reheat ed while the cakes are browning. BAKED''STUFFED FILLETS Dip 2tlarge fillets in salted milk (1 tablespoon salt to 1 cup milk). Place on oiled aluminum foil in a shallow baking dish. Cover each fillet with stuffing made as follows: Mix 4 cups soft bread crumbs with 1 cup chopped celery, 3', tablespoons chopped onion, tablespoons melted butter or short- ening, 3 tablespoons choppel parsley, 112 teaspoon savory seasoning and 112 teaspoon salt. Dip 2 more fillets in salted milk and place. on top of the stuffing. Wrap paper over fish. Bake in very hot elec- tric oven (450 degrees) for 15 minu- tes. Reduce heat to 400 degrees and bake 25 minutes longer" Serve with tomato sauce or egg sauce. Yield: about & servings.

My grandfather always described things in flights of words, which, al- though they were simple, seemed to execute with brilliant strokes the im- agery of what he was talking about. He used to say, "Winter is an old grey wolf and spring is a red, red robin flying in the sunshine." Later. I , heard an elderly Indian describe winter as a grey wolf and just last week I read a book by the late Peter McArthur in which there is one of his poems about the "Wolf of the Winter Wind." I like a spring day or a pre-spring day when the wind has a soft feel of a pussy-willow to it; you can hear a dog out on: a very early expedition, lookng for giound hogs on the side of a sandy hill. Th children are play- ing outside and their happy shouts echo and reech. Over on the farm next to ours, there's the sound of hammer-. ing as Higgins makes certain that the roof is protected against potential spring rains. I have a lot of work to do. There's
