Perhaps these will help: Jack, Horse, Field, Long, or Broad. They are all varie- ties of beans. Some have been cultivated and used since ancient times. The Romans grew beans for food, fodder and to plough back into the soil. Beans were also used in voting. A black bean signi- fied a no vote and a white one a yes vote. The Greeks also used the same system. Broad beans remained an unchanging staple food in England from Roman times to at least the Middle Ages. -They were al- ways the food of the common people, and usually served with bacon, probably the meat most frequently eaten by the work- ing man during the winter months. Beans became the major ingredient of most winter soups and stews. H,Qrse-bread, made from bean flour, perhaps Horse beans, thus the name, also became a staple especially for the rural peasant during years of bad harvest. (It may also have gotten its name from the fact that it was cooked for the stables.) Because bean flour did not make a very tasty bread, and it did not hold together well, the breads were not popular, and only eaten in times of hardship. However, until the late 1800's, some bakers in Britain continued to use bean and pea flour to stretch the more costly wheat flours, until at last a law was passed governing additions to food. The natives of the New World were cultivating the been long before Columbus or the Pilgrims landed. Lima beans take their name from Lima, Peru, where they were found in ancient tombs. Spaniards took samples of many types of beans back home to Europe where they gained wide acceptance. Their im- portance grew, and they were returned to the Americas in a much improved form. Some beans are picked and eaten at a very young stage, when both the pod and the undeveloped seed are consumed. Some of these stringless or snap beans have green pods while others are yellow. Other beans which are eaten in quantity in North America in- clude kidney, pinto and navy (commonly called white) beans. These latter are most often used in baked beans. These types of beans, are called dry beans because they are most often eaten when fully ripe. Many of these kinds of beans have much greater food value than any other vegetable. They are very rich in proteins and carbohydrates, and are often eaten as a substi- tute for meat. A friend shared the following recipe with mc, I hope you en- joy it. Brown Bean Tog Pre-cook slightly 1f2 lb. hamburger 1i2 lb. bacon cut in 1" pieces Mix together with the drained meat 2 - 14 oz. tins pork and beans 1 - 14 oz. tin kidney beans (rinsed) 3/4 cup ketchup 1 tsp. dry mustard 1 tbsp. lemon juice 1 tin mushroom pieces and stems 1 - 14 oz. tin lima beans (drained) 1R cup brown sugar 1 tbsp. vinegar dash Worcestershire sauce Bake covered at 350 for about 1 1/2 hours.

Clean up or be penalized Dear Editor: I commend the council for last week's write-up. Exeter is an exceptional clean town, and I arin guilty of placing a small pile of green, short limbs a week ahead, but not intentionally and I'm sorry for it. If I repeat, 1 should be penalized with or with- out a bylaw, I have never done it before. There is another disgusting an- noyance where dogs do dirty jobs on the sidewalk and people step around it and y ride11) their bikes through it and walk through it. I've stepped on it cutting grass, dragged the electric cord through and had to wipe it off and clean it out of the mower and took one pair of shoes and threw them in the garbage. The dog by- law says catch the dog and retain it until the dog catcher comes from Dashwood. I've been bit several times al- ways from dogs that don't bite, tru- ly a dog bylaw with no teeth in it. I want to commend the lady who stopped and cleaned up the job her dog had done Saturday evening. She's the only one I've seen do that in the 25 yews I've lived here. Lloyd Lovell Reinter says of Camelot "This classical story with music returns us to the place and time when we dreamed our most romantic ideas. This production is dedicated to the dreams and ideas of Tony Lloyd." Following Camelot Reimer will go into pre -production, directing Anne of Green Gables for an American tour. who are patients in the hospital Jean Burr in St. Joseph's Hospital and Erla Smale and Maria Kenda in Exeter Hospital.
