Indeed,.lettuce was one of the first vegetables to be grown on our continent, .being brought here by the early French and Spanish settlers.„Today there is three timesmuch lettuce consumed in Canada as there was twenty years ago. This has been attributed to the popularity of salads. Salad ingredients can be prepared ahead 8f time whether they are to be eaten at the - dining room table, on the patio or taken on a picnic. Several types of lettuce and other leafy greens will lend color and texture variations to a tessed salad. Select the greens and wash them thoroughly to remove all soil • or possible spray residue. Drain well, ,break greens , into bite -sized pieces, then place them in . a plastic bag. Other ingredients such, as celery, cucumber, radishes, green onions etc. can be washed, prepared and put in plastic bags. If they are to be transported beyond your own back yard they may be packed in the picnic hamper if there is ,no room , in the cooler.

The ingredients have all been prepared earlier, packed into. covered containers or plastic bags and stored in the refrigerator. The home economists of the Canada Department of Agriculture advocate placing the salads in the hollowed -out loaf at the picnic site. Each person can slice through salad and loaf and select meat from the packages carried in the cooler. for an outdoor salad such as a hollowed -out head of cabbage or a loaf of French bread. The loaf is sliced in half lengthwise and most of the soft crumbs removed. Both of these have been tried and enjoyed. Take along some extra lettuce leaves to line the bread "boats."

C i'Ki ie ya11 ,by ©oair Consumers' Association of Canada Rising prices of beef *are causing more than passing concern across the land. Just why they are rising has yet to be stated with any degree of clarity. (Certainly the argument that it's the barbecue season is not a .valid one.) However, while the arguments and complaints go on, the consumer can get around the high price • road -block inAa number of ways.' There are substitutes for beef from a healthy diet point of view, but the fact of life that cheaper Cuts of beef can be utilized is more important. While Canada's Food Guide says there should be one serving of meat per day, the equivalent - food values are available in dried peas and beans in such things as' _ chili con carne, beans with pork and split pea soup. Then there are fish, 'eggs and cheese for meatless dinner ideas, but they all need a little cookbook research on the part of the consumer to make sure they are prepared in novel and appetizing ways., There are several so-called "variety" meats that are high in food value and comparatively low in price. They include heart, kidney, liver and tongue. If the family brought up in a steak and roast atmosphere doesn't like these names, think yup some new ones. • Expensive' stewing beef can be replaced by chuck which you cut up yourself. Lower priced cuts, if, cooked slowly in a covered pot, will be equally, nutritious and tasty as a "top" out. Shoulder,. round bone •and blade roasts are usually lower in price. One nutritionist points out that tom get the most. :for your money you 'should learn to use everything you buy, such as using the bone from a rib roast for soup, making a blade roast into a pot roast with tomatoes. A .money -saving. technique at any time is to'bring out the meat grinder and grind up chuck to make meat patties and beat the hamburger c ist. A leading meat packer who is just as worried about the high prices as the rest of us, pointed out to CAC that pork can be cooked in dozens of attractive ways at much lower prices than sirloin steaks. - So it's a matter 'of "doing your homework" if you want to beat the meat (prices). , Many newspapers carry realises , for low-cost dishels — clip tIiem and start a file.

Did you know that some foods clean the teeth? Food can be helpful In cleaning the teeth if alit Is of a firm or fibrous type, such as firm, •raw fruits and vegetables. The friction ' has a cleansing effect and tI a act of chewing a firm food stimulates the flow of a watery type of saliva which, in itself,• is a cleansing and acid -neutralizing material. After a meal ended with a sweet, sticky dgssert, the teeth are not left clean. Immediate cleansing is wise on alf such occasions. This will deprive the bacteria of the sweet materials for their acid-forming activities. 7th ANNUAL GODERICH.

Here's a question for yore' Gten Campbell fans. Is the Wichita Lineman about a telephone lineman or a power lineman? Wichita telephones are not provided by the county; the area is served by the Southwestern Bell Telephone Company. Telephone linemen do not go "searchin' in the sun for another overload". Writer -composer Jim Webb's secretary says Webb is not a technical man and intended to write about a phone lineman but if power linemen wish to appropriate it, that's "groovy" with him too. Even Southwestern Bell has to adn'fit that being lineman for the county fits a lot better -in verse than being one for the Southwestern Be-e-e-elll. 4 Cream of Mushroom 100 % Vegetable Oil.
