will hold its shape on cooking,
but at the same time it will be
soft and fluffy inside. The other

for mashing, boiling or frying,

hope succeeding) to pass on my

and anxious to make their own

Before' you make quite such
broad' statements, I think
perhapd' you could look beyond
your own unfortunate
experiences and talk lo some of

"no value" in the subject.
You do all Home Economics
and Industrial Arts teachers ,an
injustice by - dismissing us as
having "no value". I personally
resent it. My girls have already
learned quite a bit about
dressmaking, but may I remind
you that my subject is "Clothing
and Textiles" " and the foods
section is "Foods.and Nutrition"
not "cooking" and "sewing",
- There is considerable - more
involved than the practical skills.

Please' let our work, at least

us. ' Perhaps, I too am being too

(Mrs.) Janice Bryans:
Editor's note: Thank heavens we.
have many dedicated teachers in
our school system who are really
and truly interested in the young
people they teach . , and thank
goodness the modern "Nome
economics courses are taking on
new meaning for .the younger
set. I'm sorry to have insulted
this teacher (or any other). That
wasn't my original intention,
\ Rather I hoped to point out the
need .r for some revamping of
home economic courses in _the
province from when I was a girl.
Seemingly, efforts have been
made in this direction and I'm'
pleased to hear about it.

Sad but true.
Our pleasant custom of burning leaves is a
meaningful cause of air pollution.
Just how bad is it? The answer may surprise
you. One pound of leaves burned in the open
throws up 600 times' the pollutants released
by burning a pound ,of coal in' a •furnace.
Pound for pound, six hundred times more of
these damaging pollutants: hydrocarbons,
aldehydes,.organic acids.
Taken all byltself, the open• burning of
leaves would not be much of a problem. But
when it's piled onto all the industrial smokes,
plus the gasoline and diesel exhausts, you've
got a serious contribution.
Air pollution is°a big, complicated problem.
Maybe you've- .wanttpd' :to help, but so far
could only feeLl elpless and angry.
524.144
Now there's something you can do: Don't
burn your leaves. •
What do you do with them? Pite them in .a
- heap and mulch them. Failing that, pack them
up for the garbage collectors. If theyrefuse to
pick them up, take them to the dum` your-
self: If that's against your local by-law, get
together with a few others who want to help
and go see your council. Let them knew how
'you feel.
If this seems like a lot of trouble over'a few
innocent leaves, remember this : you and your
children and your neighbours and their
children, allof us, we've been given exactly
one pair of lungs.
