During Bible Study, led by Craig ladies at food short course By ALICE DICKENS Twenty three ladies had a fun -filled afternoon recently as they attended the short course on "Food for all Seasons” sponsored by the Riverview Institute, in co- operation with the Ministry of Agriculture and Food. It was led by Evelyn McNaughton and Margaret Wilson who had attended the Training Course at Komoka Community Centre. "Food for all Seasons" is a collection of ideas on how to save money and eat be,tter, too.. We exchanged idea n food for buymanship skills, compared brands and inter- preted the information on labels, became more familiar with metric sizes, and had a demonstration on making crepes, by Evelyn. . Our leaders had prepared a dozen handy home mixes which were examined in- cluding Margaret's granola mix, and some were used in preparing our supper. Margaret showed us the egg noodle dough and the wide variety of noodles which can be made from it. Many hours must have been spent by these two ladies as they produced a varibty of fords from recipes in our manual for tasting. At the cof- .fee break, we sampled the cheese and pear loaf, while we examined a few dozen pamphlets which are available at no charge, at the ministry. As a result of previous preparation, and final touches by the members present, -we sampled a delicious buffet composed of hot split pea soup, chicken dinner crepes, Caesar salad, relishes, spiced pumpkin cake, zucchini loaf, cherry crepes, rhubarb muf- fins, peach popover pie, and a fruit cocktail mixture. All nourishing food, of course! Riverview Institute members and others who took this course, want to say "many thanks" to Evelyn and Margaret for a very educa- tional and pleasant five hours on March 7, 1983.

Personals I wish to correct an error that appeared in last week's news. I reported that Mrs. Bea Ash's mother had passed' away. That is not correct but it was a very dear friend who passed away who was like a mother to her. I am truly sorry for any embarrassment this error may have caused the Ash family.

Hannah Miller and Ruth La- ing of the Marian Ritchie led in the responsive prayers . Guest speaker, Mrs. Aileen Knight, Exeter, was introduc- ed by Dorothy Miller. In her message on the theme, Mrs. Knight asked the questions, "Are you a new person in Christ'?" and "Am I a new person in Christ?" Why do we need to be a new person in Christ?" She stated that too many people know a lot about Christ but do not know him personal- ly. Growing and maturing in Christ is not easy -we must be fed the right things. Speaking of the seed planted in Sunday School, and especially the memorizing of scripture, she said that it will carry us through difficult and wander- ing times, and bring us back to God's way.
