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.

With SHIRLEY J. 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. There is no
charge for the service but we do
reserve the right to edit the
material if necessary.

It is important that all
Wedding repOrts be into our
office Within one month of the
wedding date. 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. Select the greens

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. I
