Parent 4 5 6 7 8 B to Answer Elsewhere on This Page Canadians Are Poor Salad Eaters Compared to United States Neighbors Canadians are poor salad eaters. That is a fact pointed up by comparison with what United States citizens eat and with figures based on what nutritionists say we should eat. Icor instance, in 1945, the last year for which comparative figures kare available, Americans ate 523.9 pounds per capita of fruits and veg- etables used in salads while Cana- dians consumed only 275.2 pounds per person. These figures do not include potatoes. Even what Ameri- cans eat does not quite reach the figures based on what nutritionists say we should eat. This is the reason why many in- terested government departments, associations, companies and individ- uals are backing "Salad Week" in Canada, "Salad Week," from July 27 to August 4, is designed to in- crease the consumption of fruits an vegetables in Canada to a level that will bring• better health to all Canadians as well as add col- or and variety to Canadian meals. As well as being .appetizing, nu- tritious and easy to prepare, salads are an easy solution to the high cost of living, particularly during sum- mer months when fresh fruits and vegetables are in peak supply and prices are low, the Canadian Hor- ticultural Council points out, The Council also points out that no other type of food lends itself to such a variety of colod combina- tions as salads. All the contrasting colors of nature can be found in fruits and vegetables. - For this rea- son, in choosing ingredients for a salad, the housewife should try to select foods which offer contrast in color, flavor and texture. If there is sufficient green to act as a neu- tralizer, you can mix colors that would' normally clash. Salads can be prepared in tee endless number of ways to suit the palate of the most discriminating and hard -to -please eater. Too of, ten, salads disappear from the mente in winter and spring. This is the -time of year when they are a real help in adding variety, color and flavor to meals. Salads are ideals for the house- wife with imagination. No other food dishes give them such a chance to develop their own original se• ceipe or give such a variety tm meals. :',ux6:..v HRONICLES IN 86d is%:.4 j4. •r 'f (;quir)ririlirto ('C'1nr1k.e. We have eight acres of hay cut and raked; another six cut but not raked, also a field that hasn't been touched -and the hay -baler sit- ting in the yard. That is as far as we have got with our haying oper- ations. There has only been one day when the hay was fit to bale and that day the baler was busy elsewhere. We have known some "catchey" seasons but never any-• thing quite like this. But we have lots of company -there is hay out all over the place, However, all any of us can do is take what conics and hope for the best. Right now "the best" seems to be a promise of peace in Korea - if there can ever be peace in that country. Personally I am more concerned with what may happen in Iran -Iran and its oil being of far more importance to Soviet Russia than North and South Kor- ea put together. Of course we arc expected to believe that the trouble in Korea isn't Russia's war -but who can doubt but what the whole dreadful business wasn't instigat- ed by the Kremlin, Well, last Tuesday many women in this district cast care aside and headed for the 50th Anniversary of our Halton District Women's Institute. It was a lovely day, sandwiched in between rain the day before and rain the day after. Over 300 members and a number of guests sat down to a well plan- ned, attractive 3 11 d appetising lunch, Before lunch most of us had our little private session, There were ladies there who had not seen each other in years -members who had moved away; women who once been members of branches that had since disbanded. Mothers, daugh- ters, grandmothers and others; some women who had aged with the passing years; others who looked younger than they did 10 years ago! It was a goodly crowd -and we talked, and we talked, and we talked -almost as much as a crowd of farmers at an auc- tion salt. As I looked around at the sanart- ly dressed women I wondered what such a gathering would have looked like 50 years .ago. There would doubtless have been many women there in homespun, others in gingham -perhaps a few in silk or cashmere, relics of treasures from the Old Country. Skirts would be down to their ankles; older women in bonnets, younger women in cumbersome hats or turbans. There would have been pale lips and paler cheeks, except for the rugged out-of-door women; Hair would be pulled back straight from the forehead, ending in a "bun" at the back, or on the crown of the head -or maybe thick, tightly twisted braids. Outside, tied up ID the now non-existent sheds, would be the horses, hitched to buggies or democrats. Somewhere in the vicinity -at the harness shop, the grist trill, the black- smith's or the hardware store, men would be waiting for their wives or sisters, making the best use of their time by getting a few of their own chores done. But last Tuesday men were con- spicuous by their absence. No doubt some of them had been re- quired to drive the family ear and were somewhere down town but in many cases women did their own driving, picking tip as many neighbours as were able to go. At our head table we had as our guests, Col. the Hon. T. L. Ken- nedy and Mrs. Kennedy. They fitted right into the picture and added to our enjoyment. Also present was our agricultural Rep- resentative, Mr. J. E. Whitelock and his wife. Besides adding to our programme Mr. Whitelock was very busy adjusting the "mike' for each speaker's convenience. How little we appreciate the versatile qualities of an agricultural repre- sentative. There were, of course, many of our past presidents and charter members, including a lady over 90, well set-up and with eyes as bright as a woman of 30. There wasn't a tremor .in her hand as she cut the beautiful three-tier cake. Miss Ethel Chapman, women's editor of the Farmer's Magazine, was guest speaker. Everyone loves to hear Miss Chapman. She has such a keen appreciation of farm women's problems, a ready tvit and an ability to make every woman feel it is a special privilege to be a farmer's wife -or to live on a farm in any other capacity. She also pointed out to us that as members • of the W.I. we have great oppor- tunities for service, not only in our own district but through it, and by co-operative effort, to many parts of the world. After hearing. Miss Chapman 1 ani positive that most farts women went home, more content with their lot and more anxious to 'con- tribute something for "the common weal, the good of all mankind."
