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 Guest of Honor 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. HAFERMEHL'S HAVE THE LOVELIEST .. . WM.

Open Weekdays 8 a.m: 9 p.m. Saturday to 6 p.m. 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 1 tablespoon butter or margar- ine 1/3 cup tomato puree 1-1/4 teaspoons salt 1/4 teaspoon ground black pep- per 1/2 cup heavy cream Remove husks and silks from corn and boil 3 of the ears in boiling water to cover for 8 minutes or until milk is set. Remove from water, cool and cut kernels off the cob. Scrape the cob well. (Approximately 2 cups,) Cut the kernels from 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 simmering point. Stir in cream just before serving. Serve hot. Yield: Approximately 2-1/2 quarts. FRITURAS DE MAIZ FRESCO (Fresh Corn Fritters) 1/2 cup sifted all-purpose flour 3/4 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon double-acting bak- ing powder 1 tablespoon sugar 2 cups (3 to 4 ears) corn -off - the -cob, finely cut 1 egg, beaten 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter or margarine, melted Honey or syrup, optional Sift together the first 4 in- gredients, Score each row of corn kernels with a sharp knife. Cut a thin layer of corn from the cob. Repeat, cutting 2 more layers. Scrape cob with the bowl of a tablespoon to ex- tract all the milk. Add corn, egg and butter or margarine and mix well. Drop from a tablespoon into deep hot fat preheated to 360 degrees F. Cook until golden brown. Drain on paper towel, Serve hot with or without honey or syrup. Yield: 16 COLACHE (Squash and Corn Stew) 2 tablespoons bacon fat 1 lb. (3 cups sliced) summer or zucchini squash 1 cup (about 1-1/3 ears) fresh corn, cut -off -the -cob 1-1/2 cups diced fresh tomatoes 1 tablespoon diced green pep- pers 1 teaspoon sugar 2 teaspoons salt 1/4 teaspoon ground black pep- per Grated Monteray or Cheddar cheese Heat bacon fat in a 2 -quart saucepan.

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. Helen Haines 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- cation, After graduation, a dinner was held in her honor at the Park Towers. Guests included her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Haines, Mr. and Mrs, Roy Bennett, and Mr. and Mrs. Wilfred Haines of Wingham, Mr. and Mrs. Ron McMichael of Wroxeter, and a number of London friends. Miss Haines was also honored on Saturday when friends held 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. THE JUNE BRIDE'S FROM MILLER'S THE LOOK AND FEEL. OF LUXURY .. .
