This week we will sample some of the foods to be found in the various countries and also take a little bit of a lesson in driving. The Three D's . . . Dining, Drinking and Driving! Cuisine One of the standard items to go after is sausage. Every region has its own, and a good local sausage is an excellent example of local preferences in flavour. If you're not particularly cal- orie conscious (and if you like spicy food) you could feed your- self on sausages from the Dan- ube to Le Havre and never eat the same type twice! Soup Is a basic in the Europ- ean diet . .. and certainly an IMPLEMENT SHEDS Milking, Parlors, Barns CUSTOM FARM BUILDINGS Listowel 291-2914i item which takes on local col. our. There are splendid fish soups to be found in every ocean harbour in Europe. You have heard about the bouilla- baisse of Marseilles, But did you know about the torro of the Basques, the cgatraide of Quim- per, the waterzooi of Bruges, the Aalsuppe of Hamburg? Did you know that Paris potage Saint-Germain and the Dutch erwtensoep are both hearty peasoups, but that the peasoup of the Tyrol is made of pea - shaped dumplings? Cheese iq really another basic . . . and please note how the locals eat it, The Dutch like it as horse d'oeuvre, perhape as chunks speared on toothpicks with pickled onions or slivers of ginger, and those nice firm Gouda and Edam cheeses lend themselves well to this kind of consumption. Traditionally. a Frenchman will use cheese. to top off a meal, sampling one or two of his country's more than 400 types' with a cracker or slice of bread. To do your cheese pro- perly in France begin with the mildest cheese (a young goat cheese, perhaps) and ' work up to the strongest (maybe a runny LISTOWEL LIVESTOCK MARKET PERTH COUNTY'S LARGEST DAIRY SALE Featuring hogs, dairy cattle, cows and calves EVERY TUES!AY AT 1 P.M. 1 • WATER WELL DRILLING BY DAVIDSON FOR 73 YEARS, GUARANTEED .WELLS AT THE LOWEST COST.

When you buy cheese ask for the regional product .. • and if there's a choke between factory cheese and the farm -made var- iety, buy the latter. It invariab- ly has a finer flavour. A gener- al rule is that the older a cheese gets the stronger it tastes. So if you like yours mild, get it young. ti Wash it Dawn There's always water . . . a good steady standby, and quite safe to ,,brink ilk good hotels and restaurants. But if yt.u're not certain, drink only bottled pro- ducts . . . and cast a dubious eye on the ice cubes! . Better still, drink something else . . and ask for 'the local beverage wherever you are. However, bear in mind local, - wine may be local only in name these days; for example, some French wines are heavily "cut" with African varieties. So al- ways check the label for the words. "appellation controle" which means the wine comes from the region indicated on the bottle and is thus not mixed with other vintages. Bees? Well, this is brewed throughout the continent, al- • though connoisseurs will tell you German and Dutch varieties are best. English beer is be- coming increasingly popular. However, if you want to try something 'special, go to Bel'. gium here the brew is un- believably good,' a kind of na- tional ational treasure. But beware. of. the potency, as you sip your 'Leuze or your Lambic, or that rich and heady Trappist Orval. Motoring Gamo There was once a time when finding your way across Europe was like a game of snakes and ladders; you never ,quite knew if you would make your destin- ation. There were signs of all shapes and sizes, many with de- lightfully ;mystic symbols that for foreign drivers conveyed ab- solutely nothing. Happily, all. %rataas changed and today today u 'a nal4ons have Standardized ori rJipa1' `road signs, rely- irlgr mainly on clear symbols in- stead of words. Red triangle signs are warn- ding hazards ahead; signs on a red circle or blue disc are com- mands or directions that must be obeyed: Blue rectangles or squares with symbols are, in general, used to give specific information. It's always good to remember, when driving in Europe that . . with the ex- ception of the UK ... the basic rule of the road . is "Priorite a droit" . . . which means traf- fic 'approaching from your right has priority (unless a sign indicates to the contrary). Now let me tell you of a few things and special regulations to watch for in the various ,"European countries. France To be able to drive at all you inust be at least 18 years old. The usual speed, 69 mph. If you should feel the urge to exceed such limits, a word of , warn- ing: French police have the le- gal power to make on -the -spot fines, and do! Holland Three don'ts here: (1) Don't try to bully the bikes! Almost everyone in' The Netherlands ap- pears to ride a bicycle . . . and as a result have high prior-. ity. Frequently even in large cities there are cycle tracks alongside the road and these can lead to tricky situations when you want to make right- hand turns, because all through traffic in Holland has the right- of-way over turning traffic. (2) Don't try to beat the trams. If you hear one behind you, get out of the way fast . . . and always stop when sthe tram pulls up to unload passengers. (3) Don't race those white -coloured Porsche cars; they belong to the police . . and no more ex- pert drivers exist in Europe! No speed limits on the open road in Holland (unless indi- cated) and everywhere the high- ways and roads are excellent.

Slightly shorter thain Aintree (4114 miles compared to nearly 41/2), but with one more jump (31 against 30), the Grand Pardubice is in some ways tougher. The Grand National, for, example, is run in the spring over firm turf, and is faster. At Pardubice, part of the race is, over ploughed fields, and horses' hooves fre- quently become caked in mud in , the first 100 yards. Unlike Aintree, which permits only male jockeys,, women riders,, are allowed to enter the Grand Pardubice. A woman, Lata Brandisova, won in 1937. Another woman, Eva Palyzova, finished second in 165 and 1971: Her trainer was her husband who was a onetime winner himself, Pardubice, the site of all this, lies 65 miles east of the Czecho- slovak capital of Prague. �4V►O"�•ae.01�.

Sprays are,available for You Are The Detective Police patrolman, Arthur Hayes, has been shot to death in a gun battle with four hood- lums recently escaped from the state penitentiary. Hayes, along with a group of police, had cor- nered the four convicts in a motel cottage at the edge of town. After the police had sur- rounded the cottage, then called out for the desperadoes to sur- ° render, the latter had defied the police and a gun battle ensued which finally ended with thecap- ture of the four escapees — but not soon enough to avoid the slaying of Patrolman Hayes. The names of these four hood- lums are Bob Michaels, Carl Conway, Hank Sanders, and Maurice Kelley. You are espe- cially interested in learning which one of the four killed the policeman, but after a -thorough interrogation of the four con- victs, you are still at a loss. Then i.nformatioh begins to sift into headquarters from var- ious other sources, and you piece together the following facts: One of the four men was at one time a high school teacher, can speak three languages other than English, and because of hie rather distinguished appear- ance and ability to carry on a smooth -sounding conversation, he originally performed in the role of a "front" for his gang. The rough-hewn, almost Miter - ate Hank Sanders was jealous of the "front" becaude of his good looks and many talents, and these two men had been known for the many arguments they engaged in with each other. A week before their original ar- rest and subsequent conviction, the "front" and Carl Conway had persuaded Maurice Kelley to lend them his apartment, anci they used this to set up a poker game with some "suckers" from out of town whom they succeed- ed In fleecing to the tune of more than $3,000. Kelley himself has always been opposed to gam- bling and has never been known ' to engage in that sport in any manner or form. The "front" and the killer of Patrolman Hayes were good pals, and Ove years ago were co -Owners of a - gambling house. Maurice Kel- ley and the killer, prior to their first arrest, operated a cocktail lounge together. After studying through these items carefully, do you .know which of the four men killed Patrolman Arthur Hayes?

Cutting at the late bud to first bloom stage wilt probably be sufficient in most cases to control the weevil. If the first crop is cut close and taken off quickly from the field then there should not be much damage to the second cut. There is known : to . be a good population of tiny\ twasps in the county which help) control the weevil. The main thing to do right now is to keep checking on alfalfa fields often as damage can occur quickly.
