DESSERT IDEAS
For the woman who is wife to
her husband, mother to her chil-
dren, girl -Friday to her boss and
in December plays Santa as
well, here are three easy, quick
desserts, delicious enough for
family and party fare. Recipe
ideas are from the Consumer
Section, Canada Department of
Agriculture, Ottawa.
Cardinal Peaches
Thaw and drain frozen rasp-
berries. Drain and chill can-
ned peaches. Depending on
size of peaches, arrange one,
two or three halves in a sher-
bet or serving dish. Crush
drained raspberries and spoon
over peaches. Sprinkle with
slivered almonds.
Peach Melba
Be sure to have all ingredi-
ents and serving dishes very
cold.
Thaw and drain frozen rasp-
berries. Crush raspberries and
chill. Drain and chill canned
peaches. Just before serving
dessert, place a scoop of vanil-
la ice cream in each chilled
sherbet or serving dish, place
a peach half on top, then top
with crushed raspberries.
Alexandra Peaches
Be sure to iiave all ingredi-
ents and serving dishes very
cold.
Thaw frozen strawberries.
Drain and chill, canned peaches.
Just before serving dessert,
place a scoop of vanilla ice
cream in each chilled sherbet
.or serving dish, place a peach
half on top, then top with a
spoonful of strawberries. Us-
ing a small fine sieve, "dust"
the top of each dessert with
powdered sugar.
Note: Strawberry jam may
be used in place of frozen
strawberries.
Gifts From Your Kitchen
The nicest gifts of all to give
and to receive are those that
money cannot buy. These gifts
emanate from the home and no-
where else and make the hu-
man heart respond with old-
fashioned emotions. Gifts like
these could be such delicacies
as spicy mellowed pickles made
from your favorite recipe; a
summer flavored jam or jelly;
a rich cookie or a fruit filled
loaf of bread. All are packed
in _fancy boxes, neat little
crocks and glass bottles or at-
tractive apothecary jars and
when tied with gay paper, rib-
bons and sprigs of holly and
placed under a tree, it will be
Christmas indeed. Incidentally,
be sure to label gifts that
should be refrigerated or eaten
quickly.
Here are a few gift ideas
from the Consumer Section kit-
chens in Ottawa which can be
made up in the weeks before
Christmas for thoughtful giv-
ing.

MERCHANTS' COMMITTEE
Seaforth Chamber of Commerce
WI Branches
Take Part In
Summary Day
Seventeen Women's Institute
branches of Huron County par-
ticipated in a summary day of
the project, "Focus on Finish-
es," held in Clinton Legion
Home, Tuesday, Dec. 5. There
was a large attendance and a
splendid display of the work
accomplished by those who had
taken the course, was attrac-
tively arranged around the
room. Nineteen branches spon-
sored the course, but only 17
completed it.
Miss Isabelle Gilchrist, Home
Economist for Huron County,
welcomed the large gathering
and expressed her pleasure at
the interest evidenced,
Miss Dora Burke, of the Home
Economics Service, Toronto,
who had been the instructor of
the local leaders' training class-
es, presented badges to the
county local leaders.
Mrs. Toynbee Lamb, of Tiger
Dunlop WI branch, was chair -
lady for the meeting. Reports
were given by the local leaders,
who, without exception, stated
they had enjoyed the course,
and that 90 per cent of those
registering for the course had
completed it. Some of the dif-
ficulties they had encountered
was the finishing of necks of
dresses properly. "The course
had been too much rushed";
"they had gained experience by
working with others"; "they
were happy to have young moth-
ers take the course."
Others fotind the course a
challenge, with each pattern be-
ing different, "but there were
no unsurmountable difficulties."
Some thought their class should
have been called the "Rip and
Tear" group, rather than the
"Sew and Chatter" class. An-
other leader stated, "It is im-
portant that every member at-
tend every meeting, and as for
being rushed, any other time of
year in the lives we live today
would be just as rushed."
With Mrs. J. Raedar, the lead-
er, an interesting skit was pre-
sented by Dashwood WI mem-
bers, entitled, "Jean's First
Date," portraying that by Jean
taking the WI course, "Forms
on Finishing," she was able to
make a suitable dress for her
"first date."
In commenting, Miss Burke
said, "It is advisable to use
simple patterns and cotton ma-
terials; secure specialized pat-
terns and always purchase a
new pattern."
Following intermission, a skit
was presented by Molesworth
Branch WI. This was followed
by a wonderful fashion parade
of the dresses made at the class-
es.
Miss Helen McKercher, pro-
vincial director of the Home
Economics Extension Service,
stated a couple of new courses
are to be introduced, and while
the department tries to inter-
pret the meaning of these cours-
es correctly, they are not al-
ways interpreted byothe branch-
es as intended. For instance,
"Shopping in the 60's" does not
refer to age, and "one hundred
and fortyothree pounds of meat"
does not mean the weight of
an individual at all, but the av-
erage pounds per year per capi-
ta, but always remember these
courses are not just to teach
sewing, but to build citizens.
Mrs. Eddie Bell, Blyth, con-
tributed a solo, accompanied by
Mrs. R. J. Phillips, of Auburn.
The available courses for
1962 were discussed and the
tentative choice was the new
course, "Practical Work -a -day
clothes for outdoor women,"

home of Mr. and Mrs. F. R.

Miss Alice Reid presided and
the meeting opened by singing
a Christmas carol. A letter of
appreciation from J. F. Scott
for a number of Psalm books,
which had been presented to
the church in memory of his
wife who passed away recently,
was read by the secretary, Mrs.
L. R. 'McDonald, who acted in
-the' absence df Mrs. R. K. Mc-

a Christmas tree and do the
decorating in the church each
year. Misses Bess and Peg
Grieve invited the group to
their home for the January
meeting. The Scripture lesson
was read by Mrs. Norman Ran-

taken from the Reader's Digest.
Miss Ida Leiper played quiet
music while the offering was
received.

dia. The bale was discussed,
and when completed is to be

er, followed by the Lord's
