The Ontario ministry of housing is conducting a survey to determine the demand for additional senior citizen housing in Clinton and surrounding municipalities. This estimate of the number of senior citizens, living in or around Clinton whose housing is inadequate' or beyond their financial capabilities, will be made by the ministry. This can only be done from information gathered through ap- plications from Clinton and area residents filed with the Huron County Housing Authority. So, senior citizen residents interested in assisted rental accommodation may obtain application forms from the Clinton municipal offices at the Town Hall, Albert St. Clinton or from the Huron County Housing Authority, 53 Stanley St. Goderich. After com- pleting the form it should be returned to the Housing Authority at the above address. Only by, those in- terested sending in the forms, will the need for additional senior citizen housing in this area be determined. CHILDREN'S CORNER CD LITTLE PEOPLE'S PUZZLE A• Miss CNE contestants from Huron and Perth Counties left to right are: Nancy Lupton, Stratford; Twyla Dickson, Gorrie (Howick); Barbara Wein, Exeter; Kathy Bruxer, Seaforth; Jan Divok, Clinton; Patricia MacDougald, Mitchell. For good pickling results As you prepare to pickle this year, make sure you have a tested recipe to follow. The food specialists at the Ontario Food Council, ministry of agriculture and food, point out that it is very important to follow the recipe step-by-step using the types and proportions of ingredients required. It can make the difference between a good batch of pickles and an un- satisfactory batch. Vinegar is an im- portant ingredient in pickles, .both for its preserving qualities and its flavor. Be sure to use a commercial vinegar (labelled between 4 and 6 per cent acetic acid). Don's use a homemade vinegar since it may not have the needed acid ' strength. Never dilute the vinegar. For milder flavor add extra sugar rather than less vinegar. Use white vinegar for light-colored pickles, such as onions and cauliflower. Use cider vinegar for a special flavor in darker pickles and relishes. Salt is important both for its preserving qualities and its flavoring effect. Use salt labelled specifically for pickling, such as pickling salt or coarse salt. Avoid free-, running table salt which contains agents that can make the brine cloudy. Sugar acts as a preservative and con- tributes to the flavor. Use white sugar for light- colored pickles and brown sugar if you want ,special flavor .and don't Mind darker pickles. Sugar substitutes may be used but use only ac - Fair Queens attend CNE The annual "Miss CNE reigning over 20 days of - 'Queen of the Fairs" the Exhibition.

Spices add to the flavor and interest of the pickle. Always use fresh, whole spices each pickling season. Old spices. give off flavors, Ground and powdered forms of spices will cloud and darken the pickling mixture. Place whole spices in a small cheesecloth bag. The bag can be simmered with the pickles and then removed before pickles are packed. write for the free booklet entitled "Canning Canadian Fruits and Vegetables". It's available from Information Services, Agriculture Canada, Ottawa K1A 007. d.: Home canned tomatoes Do you really have to use citric acid when canning tomatoes? Michelle Marcotte, a food consultant at Agriculture Canada says yes. There have been some low acid tomatoes on the market and citric acid should be used in tomato canning to give the required acidity needed to prevent spoilage. Food consultants at Agriculture Canada have been recommending adding citric acid in the canning of tomatoes for the last few years. There have been conflicting reports however, about the elsistence of low acid tomatoes in Canada. To determine the acidity of tomatoes. commercial processors and agricultural research stations across Canada were asked for in- formation on the acidity of the tomatoes from their area. They reported. that the acidity of tomato varieties vary con- siderably across Canada. Furthermore, tomatoes become even less acid as the season progresses or if the tomatoes become overripe. Therefore, there is the possibility that consumers may use tomatoes which are low in acid for canning. "Home canners should make use of this in- formation to guard against any spoilage of their tomatoes" says Ms. Marcotte. "Do not 'use overripe or soft ripe fruit. Add citric acid to the tomatoes chosen for canning (1/, teaspoon per pint or 1/2 teaspoon 'per quart),' cold pack, then procesls in a boiling water Hensall news By Hilda Payne spent four days at Alma Andrew Mason, Lon- School for Women, don, spent the weekend sponsored iby the London with his grandparents, Conference of the United Mr. and Mrs. John Skea.

When canning tomato ' juice, add the same amotuit of citric acid and process in a boiling water bath for 40 minutes. If you find the flavor of canned tomatoes slightly tart, add a little sugar to taste (about 1 teaspoon per small container). By adding citric acid and properly processing in a boiling water bath you can be sure of a safe product. e Ase c,ciS4IN0f4 • ECONOMY • QUALITY • SERVICE "Big jobs or small.
