Hello again. I'm ,not going to
lie to you and tell you my mail
box is bulging with recipes and
news stories from you ladies out
there but I will say that I. have
had a most pleasant week
• meeting with many of you.
Last Saturday (that would be
November 8) I attended the
bazaar and tea at. Knox
Presbyterian Church. I tool my
11 -year old daughter along with
me just to give her an idea of
» how a woman's affair is
conducted.
I had almost forgotten how
enjoyable a bazaar and tea can
be. Besides that I. learned that all
that poppycock about Goderich
being a Gold and unfriendly
place is just not so — I was
warmly welcomed by everyone I
met.
President Mrs. Lucy Johnston
had everything under her thumb
and what a gracious hostess she
made.,
I also was reminded what a
small world this is ,in \-. hich we
live, for at the bazaar I mey two
ladies who knew my mother and
father from their younger days
in the Nile and Port Albert. I
suspect they felt they knew me,
too, int a kind of round -about
• way.
That array of Christmas
decorations carried me away just
a little. When someone is as dull
'abort things artistic'as-I am, you
appreciate the little homemade
decorating pieces that are always
on sale at a bazaar. I'm afraid I
was out of funds before I got to
the table of knits — and I would
have loved to buy an extra pair
or two of mitts for my
three-year old. •
I » did buy some » .carrot
pudding. 'It is stashed away in
my refrigerator until Christmas
day when my family will enjoy
it with their dinner.
There was a time when_Lmade
my own carrot puddings but this -
year, I thought I'd .rest and
enjoy the fine cookery of one of
the Knox Presbyterian ladies.

I'm not a great whiz with a
camera but I do try. The other
day I had the most embarrassing
situation arise at Victoria
School.
• Editor Price was busy with
the newspaper so 1 »was assigned
to go to. Victoria School and
take a picture of »the group of
teachers visiting from St. Clair
Shores, Michigan.
Five lovely lady teachers from
St. Clair Shores •--4°- Mary Jo
Matter, Carole Miller, »Elvira
Hawslein, Barbara Medley and
Mary Smith — prepared
themselves for their date with"
'the camera. Their hair was set in
place arnl their makeup repaired.
, We all went to the library --
incidentally, the Victoria Street
Public School has some lovely
new furniture in the library.
The St. Clair Shores teachers
and Victoria Principal John
Cane, W.B. Cameron and Helen
Videan had nicely • assembled
themselves around the table.
Their smiles were visible and all
was in readiness for the flash.
You guessed it. There was no
•
•
flash., There wasn't even a hint
of a flash. There wasn't enough
juice in that flash to light a
Christmas tree bulb.
It was Mr. Cane who
suggested we take the photo
outdoors. I was too. flustered to
think about something that
.logical. �y
We went outside though, and
you can imagine what those
women were thinking ... oh boy,
there goes my hairdo!
"Never mind," I told the
gals from St. Clair Shores,
"Nobody in Goderich really
knows you."
That wasn't much consolation
td them, I'm afraid.
Seriously, the thing that is
going on between Victoria Street
Public School in Goderich and
the school in St. Clair Shores is
pretty exciting. Here are two
schools in two different
countries exchanging ideas —
even teachers and pupils.
Some students from Goderich
went to St. Clair Shores in
October and it is hoped some
from St. Clair Shores will come
to Goderich sometime 'during
this school year.
I understand that Elvira,,
-Hawslein hopes to return to
Goderich - perhaps in
December — with some more
teachers and maybe this time,
some students.

I wasn't sorry that I made the
effort to get over to hear Dr. G.
P. A. Evans, .medical officer of
health for Huron County, when
he spoke to the members of the
Catholic • Women's League and
their guests.
The subject was the misuse of
drugs. I must say that Dr. Evans
gave the most frank lecture on
the problem that I » have heard.
He entranced his audience with
his simple honesty and.it was joy

"You won't go far wrong,"

I've had a couple of promises
from women• who say they will
send in their favorite recipes but
so far, there has been no actual
recipes.
This week I have improvised. I,
have included a few recipes from
"Festive Foods" a small
pamphlet put out every
Christmas by the Canada
Department of Agriculture.
For those who love new
recipes to try, you can obtain
copies of . the pamphlet by
writing to the Information
Division, Canada Department of
Agriculture, Ottawa and asking
for Festive Foods.
Next week, hopefully, some
of you will have gotten around
to sending in your. recipes.
Remember, ,you don't have to
give your name — at least, your
'name doesn't have to be
published - in the newspaper
along with your recipe.

In chatting with some of the
women around this pretty town,
I've learned that most of you
would like to see more social
news in the women's section of
this newspaper. '
I'm all in favor of that but I'm
. not a mindreader. You girls are
just going to have to contribute
something if a social column can
be started here..
As nosey as I am, I hate to
call you up Monday morning to
find' out what you've »been doing
all weekend. I'm afraid some of
you would think I was terribly
rude to question you about your
own personal life.
I know too, there are some of
you who would dislike to have
your name and the .names of
your guests in the newspaper.

. With Christmas baking time here there may be- times when you
will want to use an old family recipe handed down through the ages.
The only difficulty is, these recipes sometimes are written in
measures you know nothing about.
The home economists at Macdonald Institute, University of
Guelph, have taken a great deal if the guess work out of using these
old favorite: recipes. They have compiled a table of weights and
measures and translated them into Canadian terms.
