Mrs. John Day Gives Report
A splendid program was pre-
pared for the May meeting of
the Goforth Evening Auxiliary
of St. Andrew's Presbyterian
Church. The subject was
"Hands' , was introduced by
Mrs. George Ter•it,
Mrs. Ken Currie read the
Scripture and Mrs. Ken Mc-
Kague spoke on the subject,
"Hands God Has Made". Our
fingers are all different lengths
for a purpose. She described
praying hands, baby hands,
hands that toil for others, and
the hand that blessed. "Look at
your hands", she admonished,
"and praise Him for them".
"I am the child, you hold in
your hand my destiny. Train
me that I may be a blessing to
the world", was part of a poen
given by Mrs. John Norman.
"The Hands of Christ", was re-
cited by Mrs. Jenkins. Mrs.
John Norman and Mrs. Jenkins
both led in prayer.
"Workers in Canada" was
discussed by Mrs. Ken Currie.
She gave an account of the life
of Mrs. Ewart, who was res-
ponsible for the formation of a
society for foreign missionaries,
which is the present day mis-
sionary society.
The business was conducted,
with the roll call being answer-
ed by a Scripture verse contain-
ing the word, "Blessed". It was
decided to have a pot luck sup-
per in June, each member be-
ing priviledged to take as guest
her mother or a friend.
Members of the committee,
Mrs. George Tervit, Mrs. John
Norman, Mrs. Malda and Mrs.
Ken McKague, sang a most ap-
propriate song, "You Need
Hands". The ladies enjoyed a
Scriptural crossword puzzle,
conducted by Mrs. Jenkins. An
interesting feature of this was
the fact that it was composed
v
Eby one of the members, Mrs.
Iken McKague.
The president, Mrs. John
;Day, gave a fine report on the
conference held in Kingston.
The miracle method for getting
• the church out of debt, she
said, is•for all members to
make a personal committment
each week. The Gospel must
be taken out to the people from
;the church, because they do
not come looking for it.
A film, "Mission to the
'.Minority" was shown. The
Korean people who live in
Japan are in the minority group.
The Koreans there have many
things with which to contend,
such as being close to starva-
ton, segregation, being un-
skilled, and the Communistic
flag. Man': Koreans excel as
students when given the oppor-
' ttin:[y, and it is our duty to
help them,
A socia'_ time was enjoyed
and refreshments were served.
Mary Scoff Is

Many friends gathered at
Danny's Restaurant last Friday
evening to honour Miss Mary
Scott, bride -elect. The hos-
tesses were Mrs. Keith Moffatt,
Mrs, Merle Gowdy, Miss Mar-
garet Machan and Miss Frances
Walker.
Miss Gowdy led in a sing-
song and a couple of contests
were held. Many lovely gifts
•were presented to Miss Scott,
including a pole lamp, chair,
step -stool and bedroom lamps,
for which she thanked her
friends.

Here's Health
If there is any place in the
world where they know best
how to cook corn in every con-
ceivable way, it must surely
be Mexico. For, says one an-
thropologist, "The present-
day races of maize in Mexico
...are the product of 4, 000
years or more of evolution
under domestication," A
thousand years before Athens
and Rome were founded, an-
cient Mexicans were planting
and hoeing their cornfields as
Yum Kaax, their corn god,
would want them to do it.
The average family of five
produced some 168 bushels of
corn. Part of this they ate
fresh, as a vegetable; most of
it had to be ripened and stored
as a grain. Climbing beans
rambled up the sides of the
corn stalks while squash and
pumpkins ran along the ground.
The whole field was trimmed
with a border of peppers.
In the early days, Mexican
Indians would not have had
sweet corn. This seems to have
originated somewhere in the
Andes, moving ever northward
as the wind blew the pollens
before it. When maiz dulce
finally reached Mexico, they
found numerous uses for it: in
fermented and unfermented
drinks, for instance, and in a
sort of primitive crackerjack.
And, of greatest interest to
cooks north of the Rio Grande,
some muy bueno ways of cook-
ing fresh sweet corn!
For instance, they boiled it
with a few of the inner husks to
intensify the corn taste, then
served it with chili butter. In
a creamy soup, the fresh sweet
corn was enhanced by tomato
puree, minced onion and heavy
cream. For a stew, they com-
bined fresh corn cut from the
cob, summer squash and toma-
toes and topped it with a
sprinkling of grated cheese,
Or, another corn recipe of
Mexican origin, is a crisp, rich
corn fritter, excellent either
as an appetizer or main dish.
CORN -ON -THE -COB
(Mexican Style)
Select firm fresh ears of
corn. Remove all husks except
the last 4 or 5 inner husks. Re-
move silks. Drop into a kettle
of boiling water. Cover, bring
to boiling point and boil vigor-
ously 8 minutes or only until
milk is set. Sprinkle pats of
® 0 e
butter with salt and chili pow-
der. Or, mix chili powder
with butter, using 1/2 teaspoon
chili powder to 1/4 cup butter
or margarine. Spread over ears
of hot corn as it is eaten.
MEXICAN CORN SOUP
(Sopa de Maize)
6 ears fresh corn
2 quarts water and 8 bouillon
cubes or 2 quarts rich beef
stock
1/4 cup finely chopped onion

corn and boil 3 of the ears in
boiling water to cover for 8
minutes or until milk is set.

cut kernels off the cob. Scrape
the cob well. (Approximately

the cobs of the 3 remaining ears
being sure to cut the kernels
fine. (Approximately 2 cups).
Add to the stock. Saute onions
in 1 tablespoon butter or mar-
garine. Add tomato puree to
onion and stir and cook 1 min-
ute. Add to stock along with
cooked corn, salt and black
pepper. Cook 5 minutes at

just before serving. Serve hot.

quarts.

KINETTES MEET
Good Response
To Art Exhibit
The regular meeting of the
Kinette Club was held on Mon-
day evening in the form of a
bowling party. Prizes were won
by Mrs. Ed. Yeoman, a guest
of the club, Mrs. Merv,
Templeman and Mrs. Jack
Bateson.
After bowling the club went
to the home of Mrs. Stewart
Leedham for the business meet-
ing.
eeting. President Mrs. Al Wil-
liams was in charge. Conven-
tion reports were given by Mrs.
Murray Gerrie and Mrs. Fred
Templeman. At this conven-
tion the Wingham Club was one
of five clubs to win an atten-
dance award.
Mrs. Jack Bateson outlined
final plans for the food booth at
the Trade Fair. It was announe
ed that Gunther Heim of CKNX
will help Mrs. D. A, Rann and
L. E. Stuckey to judge the
more than 350 pieces of art
sent in for the art display.
These will be on display up-
stairs in the arena during the
Trade Fair.
Mrs. Jack Walker won the
raffle. Mrs. Murray Gerrie and
Mrs. Stewart Leedham served
lunch. The last meeting of the
year will be held on June 24th
in the form of a barbecue at
the cottage of Mrs. Eric Wal-
den.
Daughter's Wedding Is
A 3usy Time for Mother
The wedding day is, of
course, the bride's day. How-
ever, the bride's mother plays
a very close second. She is
the official hostess and it is her
responsibility to see that every-
thing is in order and in good
taste.
She will walk up the aisle
with the usher after all guests
have been seated, and will be
seen by all; she will be first in
the reception line and will
have an eye bn every detail.
Even though she has probably
been busy for weeks, she will
be expected to wear a happy
smile throughout and show no
sign of strain.
There are a few things the
bride's mother should check in
advance, so that she may re-
lax and enjoy the wedding.
Have two knives for cutting
the wedding cake. A cake
knife soon gets "gooey" and
if there are two, one can be
cleaned off while the second
is in use.
Avoid house guests the
week before the wedding.
Arrange for a separate car
to take each bridesmaid to the
church to avoid crushing their
gowns.
See that the bride's father
is dressed and ready for the
church a couple of hours ahead
of time, so that he can cope
with last minute emergencies.
Have a hairdresser at the
house when bridesmaids are
dressing, to arrange their hair
and headdresses.
Arrange to have someone
responsible for arranging all
flowers that come to the house
on the day of the wedding.
It is also suggested that
neither the bride or her mother
arrive at the church too early.
They may see something not
quite to their liking at a time
when it is too late to do any-
thing about it.

Receives Degree
Miss Helen Haines, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Victor Haines,
received her Bachelor of Arts
degree on Friday at the Univer-
sity of Westem Ontario Convo-

a buffet luncheon.
Miss Haines will return to
teaching in London this fall,
where she has been engaged at
the Broughdale School, after
spending seven weeks in Europe.
She leaves Canada July 4.
If the bride is a widow, hoz
children may act as attendants. •
If she has been divorced, they
may not.
