Following the meal, the president, Evelyn McNaughton, opened the meeting in the usual Institute man- ner, and Margaret Wilson, secretary, read the minutes. From these, it was. noted that a podium was being made: 100 copies of "Get Acquainted with Women's Institute tspecifically, Riverview) were provided for the local Neighbourhood Welcome com- mittee; a float is being entered in the local Santa Claus Parade; a reply to a request from a W.I. member in England was written by Ruth McCallum, and others will supply future information as we begin to correspond; and we were reminded to work on our House Logs this winter. Several Household Hints, prepared by Greta George, were read. The program began With Christmas musical selections played by Rob and Randy Whiteford on their guitars, which were a real delight, and a nice beginning to a seasonal program. Rev. Anne Beattie told the Christmas story in a very exciting and unusual manner which we all could visualize as we listened to her account of the Christmas pageant. Nola McEwen gave a good reading with a wor- thwhile moral. Mary Rees gave the sunshine convener's report, and she and Jennie Morton will send out a great mdny cards in December. The president called on Gertrude Rosser, the District president, to bring geetings to her own Institute before relinquishing her position at the end of the year. She told of visiting 10 branches, and pointed out the various pins she was wearing, some of which will be passed on to the next District president to wear. • Before closing the meeting, Evelyn thanked all those who contributed to- the othe meeting, and reminded that the next meeting would be on February 3, to which we are to bring homemade Valentines or old ones we have receiv- ed. Marilyn Barbe will speak on the topic, "The Potter and the Clay", and demonstrate. Won't you join us? presented the short course, "Short Order Meals", which they had taken at Arva, sponsored by the Ministry of Agricutlure and Food. Twenty-eight people arrived at 10:00 a.m., and were handed a cup of.coffee with cookies, as well as a 63 -page booklet on the above topic, and a colorful pamphlet on Minute Rice called, "Anything Goes." The main objectives for the course were: to help participants develop timesaving habits, to encourage menu planning, and to show how herbs and spices when properly used can make everyday meals more ex- citing. Quizzes were done on "The Ef- ficient Kitchen", and "The Efficient Cook", ,which proved quite infor- mative. The booklet contains much good information on "The Second Time Around" for foods; "Quality In- surance". dealing with storage time: "The Cutting Edge" telling of proper knives, and how to sharpen them; and the "Cutting and Deboning of a Chicken". Much organization had been done by the leaders ahead of time, as all the food had been purchased and allotted in several work areas in the room. Electric Frying pans were us- ed for the stir frying, as well as the stove burners, and the oven for bak- ing. Everyone had a 'volunteered' job in preparing the meal, or cleaning up. after. As the saying goes, "You learn to do by doing". Now, don't you want to know what we had for our Gourmet meal? Each recipe was quadrupled to serve the 30 people present. Well, we had chicken a la dijonaise, steak with mushroom sauce, parsley potatoes, buttered peas, sliced car- rots, all made according to the recipes, and accompanied by a bean salad, a cottage cheese salad, and a fruit salad provided by the leaders. But you haven't heard everything yet. For dessert, we had peach cobbler from the oven, peaches with golden sauce, berry freeze, and grapes. As one lady remarked on leaving, "That was a ten -dollar meal, for two dollars (the cost of the food). The leaders thanked the ladies for coming and making the day so en- joyable, also for the very generous "tip". Just another Riverview W.I. project!
