THOMAS HE PICKS THE BEST — Fred Hoover is shown tagging the beef for A & H Food Market Ltd. in Exeter, from Canada Packers in Toronto. Fred says: "This is all government inspected beef and of the highest quality available. This beef is tagged for A & H and hangs like this in our cold storage room for at least seven days. I look over a great deal of beef to find what this store wants. (They're particular!) 1 may look over a rail of beef holding from 45 to 50 sides and only pick out three or four sides of branded steer beef which I think are the right weight and quality for A & H. Try a steak or roast of this delicious beef and see how good beef really is when it's allowed to age properly." Advertisement • • 0 I 0 * 0 Dashwood lady elected president of Huron Children's Aid Society With SHIRI,EY J. KELLER The long awaited babysitting feature is scheduled for this week. I must admit I have been somewhat disappointed that more teenage babysitters have not come forward to express their opinions regarding a business so vital to so many people. I do feel though that the material I have assembled so far will be helpful to babysitters, parents of babysitters and parent employers. Of prime importance naturally is the safety and well-being of the children for whom the babysitter is hired, but many other factors are involved which make the arrangement satisfactory to all. One thing I haven't dealt with in the feature is the specific rates charged for babysitting services. We learned that in general, babysitters in this district expect 35 cents per hour before midnight and 50 cents per hour after midnight. However, it is advisable for the babysitter and the parent employer to come to an agreement regarding money BEFORE work begins. That way, everyone is informed and at ease. If there are any questions (there is much more information I could pass along to our readers depending on the success of this initial presentation) I would be pleased to hear from you. Your names need not be mentioned. Incidentally, special thanks to anyone who wrote or telephoned me concerning babysitti ng. * What do you think about the suggestion that Miss Judy LaMarsh should seek nomination as the leader of the Liberal party in Ontario. Someone was reported to have said that Miss LaMarsh could win the next election for the Liberals in this province with one hand tied behind her back. It is an interesting theory and one about which I invite comment. I'm a LaIviarsh supporter (not because she is a Liberal but because she is a woman). Whether or not I'd like to see this controversial lady get tied up in provincial politics, I'm not at all certain. I do think the results would be very exciting to watch. -* I was interested too, in the letter in the Times-Advocate last week from a Grade 13 student at SHDHS who pointed out that young people at the school are opposed to the new legislation which will keep some students in school as long as ten days extra, The writer noted the students were not contemplating anything as useless as a walkout but would probably petition the government to take a closer look at the hardships imposed on students because of the ruling. I am impressed by this attitude. I think others must be too. When students do stage sit-downs and walkouts, what do you do? Maybe former Exeter resident Joe Creech, principal of St. Marys Collegiate has the answer. He called the parents to the school. And in the matter of these 97 students arrested for causing such costly damage in Quebec! What to do? Many believe that jail terms (I heard somewhere that the maximum sentence could be life imprisonment!) are not the solution. "Lock the schools," say some. "Put them at hard labor," others exclaim. "Make them pay for the damage," still more shout. What would you do if the decision was yours to make? * The season of Lent began Wednesday. For the next six weeks, Christians will be preparing for the wonderful Easter miracle. At one time many housewives were called upon to build their Lenten menus around meatless dishes several times a week. While this practice is not as common as it once was, there is still merit in serving meatless meals occasionally if for no other reason than to stretch the budget. The taste is super, too. One of the very nicest meatless supper dishes is souffle. Properly cooked, a souffle can be a joy to bake, to serve and to eat. I came across this recipe for cheese souffle containing eggs, milk, butter and some nippy "old" cheese. I intend to try it because the recipe promises that "this souffle doesn't fall." CHEESE SOUFFLE 1 cup milk 1 cup soft white bread crumbs (free of crusts) 3 tablespoons butter 3 tablespoons flour ''2 teaspoon salt dash of cayenne pepper 1 cup grated cheese. 3 egg yolks 3 egg whites Pour half cup of milk over crumbs and let stand. Melt butter in saucepan. Blend in flour, add seasoning and remaining half cup of milk and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until sauce has thickened. Add cheese and stir until melted. Remove from heat. Blend in soaked crumbs and the beaten egg yolks. Cool and fold mixture into stiffly beaten egg white. Pour into baking dish greased on the bottom. Place in pan with 1-inch of hot water and oven poach in moderate oven 350 degrees until set, about 50 minutes. When cooked a silver knife inserted into the centre of the souffle will come out clean with no bits of uncooked mixture clinging to it. Yields 5 to 6 servings. Frozen peas should be a good buy about now and you might like to try this recipe for sauce which could be served as a side dish with the cheese souffle. SOUFFLE SAUCE 1 can cream of mushroom or chicken soup, undiluted 1 package frozen peas Seasoning to taste Mushrooms added if desired.
