TABLE TALKS
Pressure Cooking
Cooking under pressure has been
practised for many years by home -
Shakers throughout Canada. They
have been able, in the canning sea-
son, to appreciate the advantages
of this method, and, since the
principle involved is the same in
the new smaller pressure sauce-
pans, they are ready, willing and
able to use them.
Time is a factor of great im-
portance to every homemaker
since there never seem to be
enough hours in a day to accom-
plish all the tasks that fall on her
shoulders. So, if this new method
of cooking did nothing but shorten
her time spent over the stove in
the kitchen, it would then and
there become a favorite. Since it
also produces foods with good fla-
vour and colour, it pleases the
whole family and does something
towards keeping mother less tired
e,nd in good humour.

Signs of spring at Ginger Farm!
One daffodil in full bloom; three
stalks of asparagus twoinches high;
a few clusters of rhubarb leaves;
300 chicks — minus six — running
around in the brooder pen; two
new calves at the barn; an almost
empty coal bin; a mother robin
sitting on her nest over the front
door on the outside; a long black
cobweb hanging from the front
door on the inside; the beginning
of daylight saving time—and the
date on the calendar.
Signs that are not of spring! At
night—out of doors—one's breath
is as visible as the steam from a
boiling kettle; white frost on the
roof tops and on the grass; thin
ice on puddles and water furrows;
goose flesh on one's person as one
rises in the morning to put on the
fires; bare trees and a cold wind
blowing; and ... oh well, let's skip
it — let's talk about something
pleasant.
* * *
Something pleasant? Sure that's
easy. Last Thursday, for instance,
I was invited to a special meeting
of a local branch to celebrate the
Fiftieth Anniversary of the ` Wo-
• men's Institute in Canada. I was
a little dubious as to whether I'
should go since I am not in the
habit of leaving chicks "Tor any
length of tinge for the first two
weeks. However, Partner thought
he could look after them—so away
we went (my hat and I1) with an-
other member for company. I was
glad I didn't miss it. It was a
wonderful meeting; friendly, well
organized, a good programme pro-
vided, and finally there was the
tea, which was well served, dainty
and abundant. I describe the tea
in that order because, to my way
of thinking, it is a matter for com-
ment.
* * *
Probably everyone has been at
teas and lunches where the food
supply was more than enough but
where the service was very poor.

turning down cakes and cookies
galore as they were passed to you
while you thirsted for the second
cup of tea that never same?' Or
perhaps the tea arrived but the
cream and sugar didn't. Don't you
think at all these social affairs the
tea or coffee should be the first
consideration? Generally the room
or hall is crowded; one gets hot,
tired and thirsty, and one antici-
pates longingly that good, (hot cup
of tea which we hope is in the
offing. More than once when''eats"
have come around time and again
without the cups being replenished
I have felt like shouting—"Give me
tea or I die!"
* * *
However, at this tea there was
nothing like that. Everything was
just perfect—including the marvel-
lous birthday cake which was made •
by one of the members. There were
also African violets—in pots—to
decorate the tea table, Big, full -
blooming plants that were the envy
of nearly every woman present.
The guest speaker chose as her
topic the evils of self-pity as com-
pared with the fulness of life which
comes from living and working for
others: If an illustration were need-
ed it could su''ely have been found
in this particular branch of the
W.I. This birthday celebration
couldn't have been planned if the
women had indulged in' self-pity.
In fact the branch, as a whole,
which is now a live and energetic
organization, is actually in existence
because women during the past
fifty years, had given of their time,
their work and their enthusiasm.
* * *
Listen—I hear a tractor! That
means one of our neighbours is out
ploughing. Partner must have heard
it too for he has just announced
he is going up to the back field
to see what the land is like. Farm-
ers are all alike. Let one of their
number start ploughing', seeding,
mowing, or cutting crop, and the
rest cannot be happy until they are
at it' too. I have seen it happen so
often.
Harking back to this crime of
self-pity. I must confess I have
been indulging in it quite freely
while typing this copy. The rea-
son? Yesterday I cut my finger
on a sardine can. The cut is deep,
ragged and right on top of the
finger. Try typing some day with
a sore finger and you will know
what I mean. Even when I sort of
wrap it around the next finger it
gets in the way. And if I acci-
dentally use it to tap a key . . .
ouch!
Partner is back from his tour of
inspection. He reports the remains
of a snowbank in one fence corner,
hepaticas in another and more work
everywhere than he likes to con-
template. But the ground is de-
finitely not ready to plough,
Leek Spring
"Measure your health by your
sympathy with morning and spring.
If there is no response in you to the
awakening of Nature, if the pros-
pect of an early morning walk does
not banish sleep, if the warble of
the first bluebird does not thrill
you, know that the morning and
spring of your life are past. Thus
you may feel your pulse."—Henry
D. Thoreau,

Today we turn the spotlight on
Gordon Sinclair Jr., of Etobicoke
High School. Ti't youi.ger Gordon
has been filling the shoes of his
famous father, Gordon Sinclair as
a newscaster at CFRB, Toronto,
while his pa is on vacation in the
States.
Gordon Jr. handles the newscast-
ing very well, and, if he so desires,
will likely wind up with just such
a job some day. 13esides' attending
Etobicoke High School as a stu-
dent, he is co-editor of -the school
paper, writes a column for Cana-
dian High News and another week-
ly and then does the daily broad-
casting stint in the bargain. In his
late teens, young Sinclair is on the
threshold of a good journalistic
career and no one can argue but
that he is off to a good start Best
of luck, Gordon.
Also in the spotlight this week
is Mary Lou Dilworth, teen-age
student of Oakville Collegiate, To-
ronto, who writes a cupid -advice
column for the Canadian High
News, 'a student weekly that cir-
culates the province. Mary Lou
was recently featured in a two' page
spread in the New World maga-
zine .On top of that, she appeared
a few weeks ago as a guest on the
CBS programme, "We the Peo-
ple," and had a nice trip to New
York out of the deal. Seems as if
quite a crop of juniors are aspir-
ing to the writing field and, believe
me, a by-line at the top of a reg-
ular column at 17 and 18 is nothing
to sneeze at, and doesn't go unno-
ticed either. Many of you reading
this, have already written to Mary
Lou for advice on your love mix-
ups and what-nots and the little
gal that jots down the answers is
doing a swell job of it.
The 'Weston teen -club 'recently
hit the news pages the hard way,
with some of the members having
number nines planted in their faces
and their noggins bumped against
the floor. You no doubt heard
abc•ut it. A few rowdies decided to
enter a dance the club were hav-
ing, (loaded down with laughing
soup) and when refused admit-
tance, started' to play rough house.
A night in the cooler no doubt
made the bad boys feel different
about the whole, thing.

We are in receipt of a poem
from a local who dared us to use
it. Although a little zany It con-
tains a little truth, so here it is:
'TIS SPRING
The snow is gone and spring is
here,
The rains have come and it is drear,
The' grass is turning and the buds
are out;
Mom's a cleaning, pop has the
gout,
The clouds go sailing far and near.
But anyway, spring is here.
* * "
According to some figures we
read recently (and we can't'remem-
ber just what they were) crime is
on the down -swing. Believe It or
not, there were fewer arrests in
1946, than in '45 in one of Can-
ada's largest cities. Crime among
the juveniles is letting up at last.
Fewer cases of break-ins, drunk-
enness and the sordid type are re-
ported, all of which is very nice to
hear. How Canadian youth com-
pares with that of the U.S. in
crime actions at the moment, I
don't know, but let's all work to-
gether to keep all Canadian crimes
on the• down -swing.

Down near the south-west cor-
ner of Ontario is a place known as
Kingsville. To most of America
it is not known 'as Kingsville, but
the Jack Miner Bird Sanctuary. If
any of you, teeners are planning a
trip this summer in that vicinity,
by all means go down there and
visit this famous spot. Big plans
are being made for the sanctuary
by Manley F. Miner, son of the
late Jack Miner. This memorial to
a great lover of birch is one of
the beauty spots of c province.
We havetrt been there for a num-

literature in the mails we keep up re
with the doings down there and
we know that if you visit the Jack
Miner estate you will remember it
as a visit well worth the time.

It seems as though we just get
started on this column when we
have our space filled, au we'll run
along fur now. Don't forget that
those bird houses you built last
winter should. be out now. Almost
any night from 10 p.m., on you
can hear the Canadian geese honk-
ing overhead as they fly to their
northern playground for the sum-
mer. If you can rememb•sr, bend
an ear some night and when you
hear that sound from above ii will
give yrill a thrill—see if it doesn't'.
hipline Variety
There is endless variety in hip'
lines, from the full dlcirt that stands
•out below a little flared peplum or,
cutaway jacket, to the more intra•
cate drapery which swathes the
hips. Skirts, jackets, dresses, coats
all share in hip importance, and
because of some of the hip treat-
ments, coats look tike suits (when
they're fitted and have a little pep-
lum), and suits look like dresses.
