Liqour selling was declared illegal (except for medicinal purposes) and trout fishing declared legal. We may now look for a magnificent crop of sick men and liars as the outcome of these two boons. John King of Clinton met with a peculiar accident the other day. He was chatting and joking with his wife and several young ladies: he rose from his chair, which one of the ladies slightly removed, and on attemp- ing to resume his seat he missed the chair and came heavily to the floor. The result was that one of Mr. King's thumbs was so badly torn that medical aid had to be pro- cured and he will be prevented from atten- ding to his ordinary duties for several weeks. Moral, "keep away from the girls." 75 years ago - May 12, 1910 The second town league football match took place on the Brucefield park grounds on Wednesday evening of last week between the teams of Stanley and Tuckersmith, resulting 2-0 in favor of the latter, making a total on the round of 3-1 in favor of Tuckersmith. The game throughout was fast and clean. Tuckersmith team was com- posed of big hunky fellows, while Stanley players were merely amateurs and much credit is due to the latter team for holding their opponents so well at bay. Thos. Caldwell acted as referee. The ordination and induction service in connection with,lthe coming of Rev. Mr. Pearce to Knoai Church, Londesboro and Burns Church, Hullett, was held in the latter edifice on Wednesday of last week.

The sympathy of the great majority of people is with these parents, for, after all, the parents can be trusted to do the best for their own children, and, unless they are such parents as disregard the welfare of their children and are bringing them up in a home unfit for them or neglecting them altogether, the state does not interfere.

Book published to strengthen rural women The complete proceedings of the Turning Point Conference for rural women held November 16-18, 1984 has been published by the faculty of Continuing Education, Univer- sity of Western Ontario. It is a three-ring binder containing about 300 pages. The binder is meant to be much more than just a record of the conference. It is design- ed to be used to strengthen and empower women who live and work in rural areas. Set up in three sections, the first section con- tains conference proceedings and a brief history of the organization and planning for the conference. This section also includes a list of the 230 participants and workshop leaders. A second section on the 19 workshops presented at'the conference offers an educa- tional resource tool with sufficient details that rural women may duplicate them in their local areas. The final section is a directory of rural organizations. The directory can be used as a guide to help women identify groups with concerns similar to their own. It reinforces one of the goals of the conference which was to strengthen the network of communication among rural women. Publication of the binders was funded in part by a. grant from Agriculture Canada. Most of the '500 binders printed are being distributed to conference participants and sponsoring groups. A limited number will be available for sale at $25 to individuals and $35 to groups or institutions. Copies may be obtained by contacting the Faculty of Part- time Learning and Continuing Education, Room 23, Stevenson -Lawson Building, University of Western Ontario, London, N6A. 5B8. It's asparagus season April showers bring May flowers, like crocuses, daffodils and, believe it or not, asparagus - the delectable member of the li- ly family. Ontario asparagus is available from late April to late June, with the supply peaking from mid-May to mid-June. When buying asparagus, look for straight, bright green stalks ' with tightly' closed, purplish tips. Aparagus is generally sold in 500 gram (one pound) bunches, which provide four large servings. Ontario asparagus is generally in the store within .a day of harvest and is best eaten the same day as purchased. However, the fresh flavour of Ontario asparagus can be maintained for up to two days, if the stalk ends are wrapped in a dampened paper towel and the spears stored in a plastic bag in the refrigerator crisper. When preparing for cooking, easily snap off the butt ends of the stalks where the white turns to green. (You can keep the ends to add to soups). Wash thoroughly in cold water and remove any traces of sand from under the scalps. Take special care in handl- ing the tip,ends as they break easily. There are many methods of cooking asparagus, but the secret to a superbly cooked product is timing. Whether steamed, boiled or stir -fried, asparagus should • be cooked until tender -crisp, or about 5 to 7 minutes. �,,. To-eook asparagus in a microwave over arrange the stalks in a circle, with the tips facing the centre. For two servings. add 25 ml of water and cook at full power for 2 to 3 minutes: For six servings, add 50 ml of water and cook at full power for 4 to 5 mins. Asparagus is also delicious served cold. After cooking, immediately refresh under cold water to set the colour and stop the cooking. Drain and chill. You can make the asparagus season last longer by freezing. Simply prepare as for cooking, then group spears according to. thickness of stalks. Blanch small spears' 2 minutes, medium for 3 and large for 4. Cool, drain, and pat dry and seal spears in freezer bags. Store up to one year at normal freezer temperatures. To Sarah Stewart Toronto Jonathon Vanderhaur R.R. 2 Bayfield Shane Collins Vernon, B.C.

The trick is simple and only takes a minute to learn. The rest is up to you. A pun is a play on a word. Many words have more than one meaning. And many words rhyme with other words or sound like other words. All you have to do is think of a word that has two menaings or sounds like another word, and you have the raw material to make up a pun. •, The word 'calf' has two meanings. One is a baby cow, and the other is part of a leg. The word 'corn' also has two meanings. One is a thick callous on a toe, and the other is a cereal. Cows eat corn and toes are attached to legs. the con- nection allows for a good pun. Soemone who is complaining about a sore corn on a toe could say "I wish the calf on my leg would eat the corn on my toe." And there you have a pun. Words that sound the same also make good puns. The word 'too' sounds like the word 'toe'. You could say to the person with sore feet, "That's toe bad." They may respond with "Shoe thing." To think of puns you have to think of parts of things. Feet have many parts; heels, arches, toes, ankles, warts, callouses, skin, etc, "Wart's it to you?" "Don't be callous", "Are you my arch enemy?" are all feet puns. You can make puns up about anything. Puns make people laugh, and laughing is fun. It's no small feat. Very gunny!
