The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1969-06-26, Page 9dr • • • SALADS ARE FUN---Summer and salads seem to go hand in hand but salads are so much more appealling when they look as wonderful as they taste. Here salads are served in hollowed-out French sticks of bread. That's corn salad on the left and a tossed salad to compliment it. Served with cold cuts, cheese and plenty of dressing, these salads are attractive delicious picnic fare. The recipe for the corn salad is in this week's Tea 'n Topics column. ,:r4s ::::;:i^,''''1-.PASMOVNEWERVMEWENMARMOMM NOW! 1 % . . . interest on five year Victoria • and Grey Guaranteed Investment Certificates a VG VICTORIA and GREY TRUST COMPANY SINCE 1889 MR.

KELLER Since this is the final week of school, it is a good time to finish • all business from the months just passed so we can enjoy the holidays with as little on our minds as possible. Since the first of 1969 we've had discussion in this column about, a possible babysitting course for teenagers interested in learning the finer points of • caring for children while parents are away. The course has not been shelved, but it has been postponed until fall when most young people will have more time to devote to such a project. I hope to have more information • at that time concerning the place and time of the course. In the meantime, I had a telephone call from a woman who is sending me some special material written especially for young babysitters. If there is anything pertaining to • babysitting not already covered in this column, I will pass it along for your information. * * * We've also had considerable discussion about the possibility of a day nursery in Exeter. • However, I haven't heard a whisper in recent weeks concerning it. I would like to encourage the ' local women's groups — perhaps the Kinettes, the Legion Ladies Auxiliary, the Beta Sigma Phi Sorority or even a group of parents — to get together to °study this project more closely. Judging from the response I've had through this column there is sufficient interest to warrant a day nursery. All it takes now is for someone to provide the spark. The initial costs could be • • • • a S small, I understand, and the school, once rolling, would support itself. Won't someone accept the challenge? I would like to mention the Flowers of Hope campaign once more before everyone gets too involved in planning a summer vacation. The fund continues to grow but I would like to remind all those who have intended to donate that there is still time to send a donation along. The Assotiation needs the support of an of us. Huron Hope, the little school presently contained in J.A.D. McCurdy School goes on vacation for the summer, too, but it is so important that it be reopened, bigger and better, in the fall. I've learned that the South Huron Association for the Mentally Retarded is endeavouring to find a full-time teacher. It isn't an easy job. Qualified people with a real heart for working with retarded youngsters are difficult to find. It seems to me the search would be somewhat simplified if the Association could assure a teacher there would be money available to purchase the "little extras" which help to make this tremendous responsibility just a bit easier to shoulder. That's where our gifts fit in. * * * One more word to the brides planning weddings this summer or fall. We are pleased to print wedding pictures and stories in this newspaper.

We cannot promise to print them if they are received later than that, I've been gratified by the response to the Over 80 Column. I think it has filled a need in the community, that of recognizing our senior citizens. A few birthday celebrants have told me how much they enjoyed receiving stacks of `extra' mail on their birthdays. One gentleman told me he received birthday greetings from folks he thought had forgotten him long no. If a card brings so much joy to our senior citizens, think what a visit will do! * * * Miss Angela Armitt of the University of Western Ontario was the guest speaker at the graduation ceremony for Stephen Central and J.A.D. McCurdy students Monday evening. It was Miss Armitt who stole the show that evening for she is a delightful person. The lady is a genuine, down-to-earth soul with a personality that could charm even the most reluctant. Her "serious" remarks to the graduating class were punctuated with humorous little bits of philosophy and her "lighter" presentation toward the end of her discourse carried with it a message that was very distinct. She told the graduates to be optimistic and happy despite what seems like tremendous odds. She urged them to see the bright side of things, to look for the fun in everything. That's good advice for anyone, particularly kids growing up in a complex age like this. Her advice actually could have been reworded to read, "Don't take yourself too seriously or you will miss so much of the joy of just being alive." * * * To most people a salad means lettuce. Indeed, lettuce was one of the first vegetables to be grown on our continent, being brought here by the early French and Spanish settlers. Today there is three times as much lettuce consumed in Canada as there was twenty years ago. This has been attributed to the popularity of salads. Salad ingredients can be prepared ahead of time whether they are to be eaten at the dining room table, on the patio or taken on a picnic. Several types of lettuce and other leafy greens will lend color and texture variations to a tossed salad.

The couple will reside in Dashwood. - 'Wieitle*t - Anne Rosilyn Thiessen, daughter of Rev. and Mrs. Harold Thiessen, Snohomish, Washington DC., and Raymond Maxwell Switzer, son of Mr. and Mrs. John M. Switzer, RR 1 St. Marys, were married June 14 in the Chapel of Conrad Grebel College, Waterloo. The bride's father performed the ceremony assisted by Dr. Walter Klaasen amid white daisies, yellow sweetheart roses and white snapdragons. Miss Elizabeth Heinmiller accompanied the soloist, Wayne Gingrich, Guernsey, Saskatchewan. On the arm of her father, the bride wore a floor-length hammered peau de silk gown styled with an empire waistline and pointed sleeves. Her train and button-trimmed bodice were of chantilly lace. She wore a three-tiered illusion veil and carried a white orchid on a Bible which her mother and sister had carried at their weddings. Miss Barbara Switzer, sister of the groom, St. Marys, was maid of honor. Bridesmaid was Miss Marilyn Berge, Ayr. They wore street-length dresses of blue hammered peau de silk featuring empire waistlines and puffed sleeves trimmed with lace. They wore white daisies in their hair and carried nosegays of white daisies with yellow sweetheart rose centres. Richard Dyck, St. Catharines, was best man, and Fred Cowdrey, Kirkton, ushered guests. For the wedding reception in the dining room of Conrad Grebe! College, the bride's mother received her guests in a green dress, white accessories and a white orchid corsage. She was assisted by the groom's mother who wore a pink dress, matching' hat and pink orchid corsage. The bride changed to a rose dress and coat ensemble, white accessories and a white orchid corsage for a honeymoon trip to Northern Ontario. The couple will reside in North Bay where the groom has accepted a position on the teaching staff of Chippewa Secondary School. and wash them thoroughly to remove all soil or possible spray residue. Drain well, break greens into bite-sized pieces, then place them in a plastic bag. Other ingredients such as celery, cucumber, radishes, green onions etc. can be washed, prepared and put in plastic bags. If they are to be transported beyond your own back yard they may be packed in the picnic hamper if there is no room in the cooler. Tossed salads are better combined at the destination, so don't forget the salad bowl and servers. Each person can add the dressing he prefers. You may wish to use a novel container for an outdoor salad such as a hollowed-out head of cabbage or a loaf of French bread. The loaf is sliced in half lengthwise and most of the soft crumbs removed. Both of these have been tried and enjoyed. Take along some extra lettuce leaves to line the bread "boats". The picnickers can slice off their salad portion, bread and all! These and other ideas are included in the new leaflet "Outdoor Salads". You may write for your free copy which is available from the Information Division, Canada. Department of Agriculture, Ottawa. The home economists liked the "Corn Salad" served on one half of the french loaf and a tossed green salad on the other half. The Corn Salad combining cooked kernel corn with raw vegetables travels well. The salad dressing is added at serving time. Cold meats will complete the salad plate. CORN SALAD 3 cups cooked kernel corn 1/2 cup sliced green onions % cup diced green pepper 1/2 cup chopped radishes 1/4 cup sweet pickle relish 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon pepper 1/3 cup salad dressing Mix vegetables and pickle relish. Toss lightly and chill. Just before serving, sprinkle with salt and pepper, add salad dressing and toss lightly. 6 to 8 servings. * * * HAM AND EGG SALAD 1 cup cooked peas 1/2 cup sliced celery 1/4 cup diced green pepper 2 tablespoons finely chopped onion 1/4 cup chopped sweet pickle 2 cups diced cooking ham 3 hard-cooked eggs, chopped 1/3 cup salad dressing Combine vegetables with pickle and toss lightly; chill. Just before serving, add ham and eggs and toss with dressing. 6 servings. * * * RAW VEGETABLES TAKE TO DIPPING For the salad part of your outdoor meal why not serve "finger foods" made from fresh vegetables! They are colorful and time-saving. Strips of young carrots, green celery, crisp cucumber along with raw cauliflowerets, radish rosebuds and succulent green onions provide a selection for all tastes. They are a "breeze" to take along to the picnic site. Scrubbed and trimmed early in the clay, they can be packed into plastic bags and removed from the refrigerator at the last moment. They'll keep crisp in the picnic hamper. Salt is all these crisp morsels require but your favorite dip would enhance each nibble. DEVILLED CHEESE DIP 1 package (4-ounce) pimiento cream cheese 1 can (21/4-ounce) devilled ham spread 1/3 cup salad dressing 2 tablespoons chopped parsley 1 tablespoon chopped green onion 1 or 2 drops hot pepper sauce Dash salt Beat cheese until fluffy. Add remaining ingredients, combine well and chill. Makes about 11/4 cups dip. * * Proper care of the refrigerator makes its work in summer less wearing and more efficient. Refrigerators, self-defrosting or not, need periodic cleaning. This includes wiping the unit, inside walls and shelves with soda water. Avoid using harsh scouring powder. The refrigerator condensers at the back of the unit need to be cleaned at least twice a year. A vacuum cleaner brush will pick up dust and lint effectively. For better operation, check to make sure the refrigerator is level. Open the refrigerator door as little as possible. Most of the air loss occurs at the first opening of the door, so plan to take out all things that will be needed at one time. To reduce odors in your refrigerator, keep a cotton ball soaked in vanilla on the shelf.
