Anyway, they all took to the bush as the 17th of Ireland approached, after the way I told them off last year. *I guess there's nothing for it, then, but to expose something that always makes my gorge rise, .Canadian cooking. First of all, we start from the premise that it's terrible. Agreed? Right. What's that you say? You say Canadian cooking is tops? Lady, only natural-born politeness prevents my being in- sulting.' And you sir, I know your mother was the best cook that ever served a fried egg you couldn't .rut with a cold chisel, but allow me. Moment, as my old friend, Pierre Smith, grand chef at Le Spot Blanc, used to say. k * There was some excuse for the atrocious food served and eaten by our early pioneers.. They had neither the facilities nor the time to fool around with food. Por- ridge and taties, flapjacks and fried pork, were filling, and that's about all that counted in the days when life was a constant battle against nature and her elements. 1 * But there's -.no excuse for the monotony of our current cooking.

Canadians are fond of "good, plain cooking." And there's nothing better than good, plain cooking. ; owever, let's examine some of this good, plain cooking, and see if it's really good, or just plain, or either. Breakfast. A good, plain grape- fruit from Florida. Some good plain cereal, out of a box, that tastes like something you'd use to bed the cattle on. A good, plain slice of toast, made by a good, plain baker, spread with some good plain margarine made a hundred miles away, and some good, platin jam ditto. Of course, if you can stomach it, there's an egg sicken- ingly fried in some good, plain grease. Then there<s some good plain coffee from Brazil or tea from India. Nothing like that good, old, plain home cooking. w, * Lunch. A bowl of good, plain soup out of a good plain can, made in Toronto, accompanied by some good plain crackers made there too. Or a good, plain ham sand- wich prepared in the good, old, plain Canadian way. Dry, bread too thick, butter and am too thin. * and, ham A good, plain, pork chop, prepared in that simple, no- nonsense Canadian way,—in the frying pan. Some goad, honest boiled potatoes. Some straight for- ward peas out of a good round can. Some decent, forthright tarts from the baker. Now what could be more sincere than a meal like that. None of this foreign messing a- round with food, putting flavor and all that sort of licentious stuff into it. TELEVISION REPAIRS TO ALL MAKES. Complete work bench of all TV Testing Equipment.

This does not mean that a lot of expensive equip- ment and gadgets are necessary but simply making sure that what we have is suitable and in good shape. A dull, rusty(ioe, a rake with a loose or broken handle, or a power mower out of adjustment is more of a hindrance than a help and so is a spade in a job that calls for a cultivator or vice versa. Compared with most other Bob- bies or recreations, equipment casts for gardening are trivial. We can, if necessary, get along with little more than a rake, a cultiva- tor and a spade. But a few other special tools won't cost •much and they will make things easier and more interesting. Special Tools For stirring up the soil and thin- ning and killing weeds, for in- stance, there are several types and sizes of hand cultivators. These range from little ones or , two pronged things 10 or 12 inches long to wheel hoes which we push arae '-Gordon Lind/iv Smith 044 l through the larger gardens. It is easier ' well to have two or three. cultiva- If Canadians are so crazy about good, plain cooking, why is it that every time they go out for dinner, they want Chinese food, or spa- ghetti and meat -balls? Why is it that every tppie a new reltaurant opens in Toronto, it's Hungarian, rid- Swiss, or Dutch, or Italian, or - French cooking, and it prospers?' : -k * I'll tell you why.

Our tastehuds have with- ered away from lack of exercise, our stmnaches have become as un. intersted on the inside as they are uninteresting on the outside. But we owe it to our children to at least give them a chance.

Roy N. Bentley. Public Accountant 4 Britannia Road (Corner South Street) Phone 1011 Goderich, Ont. 44-13 Instead of the usual „baconan- eggs, I thought I'd show him a little international cooking. I took two, thick slices of bread, covered them with slices of cheese, put them in the oven. Then I fried, but not to crispness, some bacon, put it on top of the cheese. In the bacon fat, I gently rissoled two fat slices of pressed; or bully, beef, sprinkled with garlic salt. Put them on top of the bacon. Into half a can of leftover mushroom soup I chopped dill pickles and olives, simmered the lot on the stove, and when the delicacy in the oven was done to a golden sort of green, poured the sauce over the works. Well sir. you should have seen the tears of gratitude as the little chap sailed into that work of art. I'm pretty sire they were tears of gratitude. Of course, it was a little rich for him, after all that good, plain cooking he's used to. That's probably why I found most of it on the floor, after I'd got him tucked into bed with bicarbonate "cf soda and a large basin handy beside his bed. 0 o Q Mr .and Mrs. T. R.

Then there are such things as lutein hoes for wholesale weeding and for cultivation under bushes and spreading plants, and single bladed affairs 'for making trenches for seed'; and bulbs. Except for the very small tools, it is well to get all these things, as well as rakes, hoes and so on, with long handles. These save stooping. Power In The Garden In recent years, as suburban gardens have become larger and small motorized equipment more efficient and foolproof, there has been an enormous increase in the use of power garden equipment. Power mowers, small garden trac- iIDA , A2BIL Sth, 1956 tors are not at all expensive and they elianinate a cot of tedious hand work. As well, they are in- teresting to .tinker with and oper- ate. Equipped with these, one can look after an,acreor so of lawn and half an- acre of vegetable ,gar. den and still have plenty of thne for fishing, ,gong, or loafing. With power equipment as well as hand variety, its important to get something suitable. Too many people seem to think the bigger the better. They forget that largetractors and wide power mowers may be more difficult to handle especially in turning. In- stead of getting a • tractorbig enough to pow, it is usually better to ')get something smaller and easier to •handle and hire someone with a. standard tractor to do the once -a -year plowip,g job. Look After Them With all gardening equipment, it will pay handsomely to keep it in gold shape. It takes a minute or two to serape .the dirt off a cultivator or spade before putting away and not many more minutes to add a drop of oil and prevent rust. Also an occasional scrape with an old file will make a hoe or cultivator kill about ten times as many weeds. With power tools, FOR GOOD HEALTH AND GOOD EATING INSIST ON McMANUS DAIRY COTTAGE CHEESE FROM OUR DAIRY—PHONE 35 OR YOUR FAVORITE MARKET "IT DOES TASTE BETTER" 8tf it Is Qa enitial that they be oiled and greased regularly and moving pari should be Wiped off with an oily rag, especial after mowi;Iag when the grass is dant or culti- vating when the garden as?°dusty. It is also an excellent rule -after using any power' machinery to check over matin bolts and nuts and see that they are tight. Pro- perly handled and reasonably car- ed for, a power mower or garden tractor will last for years.
