McGEE AUTO ELEC1RIC 'Sales backed by Service' 3574416 lifIINGNAM, .ONT. • By M. N. Thaler For a long time February was the final month of the year and that is why it now is the catch-all' for calendar corrections. That doesn't affect the. Zodiac and we have now moved into the sign of Pisces. As you know, the symbol for Pisces are the fishes and its ruling planet is Neptune. Astrologers say that Pisces people have a yen for caviar and a love of seafood. I wonder why! There have been a number of important culinary Pisceans including the famous Mrs. Beaton of the British cookbook fame, Henri Soule and Cesar Ritz. Pisceans love to entertain. There is nothing they like better than intimate little dinners, candle -lit preferably, with a menu "building like a sym- phony." But, like the. Aquarian, the Piscean doesn't like housework and therefore the cleaning up after a meal is an entirely dif- ferent matter. It should be added, however, that the Piscean is not quite: qts untidy as some Aquarians-iso there's a little hope. Our first Piscean dish is .ob- viously a piscatorial one --.sea- food pie., " , % pound fresh shrimp 4 to 6 scallops milk in which to gook' scallops ' to 44. pound whitefish cooked 1 to 11 cups white sauce anchovy paste salt, to taste pepper, to taste' dash Cayenne pepper 2 medium potatoes butter Paprika 1. Cook the shrimp in rapidly boiling water for. one minute; cool, then. peel. 2. Simmer the 'scallops in a little. milk, for about 8 to 10 m dtesL7until ` tender; \cut into 'quarters. '• ►1. 3. Flake the fish. 4. To the white sauce add 24 teaspoon (or more if you like it) of the anchovy paste season with salt and pepper—hut watch the salt If you have used more an- chovy, 5. Add .a couple of dashes of Cayenne then add the flaked fish, scallops and shrunp, 6. In the interum, you should have cooked the potatoes; then dice or mash them lightly. You can whip them with a little milk or butter if you like -but it is not necessary as long as they are light- and fluffy. 7. Pour the fish mixture into an oven -proof dish, top with the potatoes; dot with butter and sprinkle with paprika. 8. Put into the oven to brown, or if everything is already `hot enough, put under the broiler until nicely browned. • \This dish can be made in ad- vance, in which case all you have to do is heat it gently jn the oven, and will serve four very nicely as a main dish. If you don't keep a basic white sauce in your refrigerator, ready for hurry -up dishes, here's how you can make some. 2 tablespoons butter 2 tablespoons flour 1 cup 'cold milk, or milk and cream salt and pepper 1. Melt the butter in a double - boiler top or small heavy.. sauce- pan. Stir in the, flour; blend well over low heat. 3. Stir in the Milk and use a blending fork or a ,wire whisk to keep the sauce smooth while it cooks ', ., 4. Bring: slowly to the boiling point, cook two minutes, stirring constantly. • 5. Season to taste with salt and . Pepper. • ;This makes about 1 Cup of white sauce and you can keep the' left- over for next time, • fu wa vi si coup h•1b1:fl nursing schNi remain in a olive ne Continued from the real values of an agrimaillarid resource base.

As rule, both Bartlett pears and dessert pears are available on the store shelf. Bartlett pears are usually considered the supe- rior roduct because of their fine ure and delicate flavor. Dessert pears may be any type of pear suitable for canning, such as Flemish Beauty or Kieffer. They are generally more coar- sely textured and firmer than Bartletts.

Look here next week for the Identify and k cation of the landmark ag ve. is short supply Resource use . planning must get more attention and more action, states Professor N. R. Richards of the Department of .Land Resource Science, Univer- sity of Guelph: Professor Richards told a con- ference on resource use planning held at the University of Guelph that increasingly ominous signs point up this needs. High quality land •resources are in short supply. Land is required for many uses, of which an important one is agricultural,' the production of food and fibre. Other uses iitfude urban expansion, recreation, highways and oter transport mechanisms, and waste disposal. Some uses require a higher quality of land than others. For example the quality of land re- quired for agriculture is higher and the requirements more spe- cific if used for production of food than when used for highway de- velopment, urban development and even airport sites. No one use can claim all the high quality land under all cir- curhstanees. If there is a choice between high and low quality land the high quality portion should be reserved for agricul- ture. In spite of the fact ,that people are continuing to migrate to cities which are becoming larger, there is a reverse migration to the country and rural space is be- coming more fully occupied than at any time previous in this cen- tury. Ottawa publlshes new dreg index OTTAWA (TIPS) -- The feder- al government is publishing its own version of Ontario's,..PAR- COST Index. It will list about 700 brand name products comprising the 26 most -used drugs in Cana- da. The Ontario PARCOST Index was recently the cause of some embarrassment to the provincial health ministry when some drugs listedfailed to pass federal tests. All drugs included in the federal index will have been tested by the government's Quality Assess- ment Drug Program (QUAD) . It is hoped that doctors and pharmacists will more confident, ly prescribe lower-priced drugs to theiripatients using the QUAD Index.

Dear Sir: As author of the factsheet on rabbits which Mr. ' Dickey has called into question, I will readily agree that it does not constitute the final word on the subject. Apparently some successful growers refrained from answer- ing the questionnaire so as not to reveal the profitability of their enterprise. This biased tie result of the survey. A letter had ac- companied the questionnaire ex- plaining thatresiilts of the survey would not be turned over to in- come tax authorities. The letter also explained the purpose of the survey. I wonder what further explanation was required? As an aside, can growers legitimately expect co-operation from govern- ment if they do not co-operate and if they are unwilling to pay the income tax which provides government services? Mr. Dickey's point that Huron does not have 12 per cent o Ontario's domesticated rabbits is correctCAccording to Census, Huron has 5.3 per cent. The error in the factsheet arises from over- estimating the number of rabbits with each doe as of June lst. This led to an• underestimate of the number of does, This underesti- mate coupled with an overesti- mate of the number of offspring per doe on a province -wide basis lecl to air estimate of production which agreed closely with esti- mates of informed people in the trade. inadvertently, the word "marketing" rather than the word "processing" appeared in line 6 of paragraph 4 on page 2. Itis true that I do not share the boundless optimism of many rabbit growers regarding the future course of events' in the rabbit industry. However,' if growers work diligently to over- come problems of + marketing and producti.. n their ptimisra may • be proved justified.. I would suggest that each grower write down his estimateof rabbit numbers as of the 1981 Census. Ten years hence this estimate would provide the means ti dis- cover if he was overoptimiitic or realistic in his judgement of pros- pects for the industry. Your paper might run a contest 'with a prize given to the closest estimate sub- witted.
