fresh with his indignant partner (Hattie Merkley). T-A photo.

If some of yesterday's spirit
spilled over into today, you may
still be wearing your green
clothes or a shamrock in your
lapel. The mention of St.
Patrick's Day immediately
brings to our minds the thoughts
of shamrocks, shillelaghs,
shenanigans and smiling Irish
eyes. We can't forget the
leprechauns or the Blarney
Stone, the lively jigs, the folklore
or the ever-sharp Irish wit.
March 17 honours the saint who
brought Christianity to Ireland.
The Irish are famous for their
storytelling, and the chronicle of
their patron saint's life is no
exception. In the account, history
and legend are intertwined.
Researchers have difficulty
separating the proven facts from
the imagined ones.
IN.Iaewyn is believed to have
been the given name of the saint,
His birthplace and his ancestors
as well as the date of his birth and
the date of his death vary with
almost every version. For
example, England, Scotland,
France and Wales have all
claimed, at one time or another,
to be his homeland.
At the age of sixteen, he was
captured by pirates and sold Into
slavery. For six years, he tended
sheep somewhere on Ireland's
northeast coast. When he finally
escaped, he was determined to
free the people of the country
from paganism and to convert
them to Christianity.
He studied at a French
monastery for several years,
becoming by degrees a priest, a
bishop and a statesman. After
receiving the ecclesiastical name
4-H club
meetings
The first 4-H meeting of the
Hurondale VI was held March 8
at the home of our leader, Mrs. P.
Down, the new club is "A Touch
of Stitchery".
An election of officers was held
with the following positions being
filled: president, Diane Rundle;
vice president, Kelly Kernick;
secretary, Patti Down; press
reporter, Donna Prout. The girls
decided to call their new club
"Smiling Stitchers".
Mrs. Down and Karen Kernick,
the assistant leader, showed
some samples of their work
which will be taught to the group.
The effect of colors when you put
them together was demon-
strated.
Hurondale IV
Hurondale IV had their first
meeting recently at Mrs.
Thomson's home. The 4-H pledge
was repeated followed by the
Election of Officers, The results
were as follows: President, Mary
Lou Thomson; vice-president,
Bonnie Cooper. Barb Ferguson is
the assistant leader.
Discussion centred around tne
colour wheel. Mrs, Thomson and
Barb told us about the sampler,
the learning stitches and the free
choice articles. Sheila Eisen-
schink adjourned the meeting.
At meeting two, Miss
Pengilley, the home economist,
attended.
Roll call was "The Learning
Stitches articles I plan to make
and why?" Members decided on
"The Hobby Hookers" for their
club name,
Discussion was about the Color
Wheel and Color Harmony, Mrs,
Thomson showed us how dif-
ferent colors bring out other
Colors.
Mrs, Thomson and Barb
showed how to straighten
Material, thread needles,
transfer patterns, do the back-
stitch and how to pull out em-
broidery floss frorn a Skein,
Miss Pengilley showed slides
showing the various stitches.
of Patrick, he returned to
Ireland.
Many legends arose from St.
Patrick's missionary deeds. It is
believed, for instance, that he
was always preceded by a
drummer. The mysterious beat
of the drum announced to the
inhabitants the approach of the
great foreign Bishop.
One of the most popular stories
claims he drove the snakes from
the Isle and rendered the Irish
soil obnoxious to all serpents.
They instantaneously die upon
touching it. To this day, the Irish
boast you won't find a snake on
the island.
The shamrock was no ordinary
clover to the Druids that
inhabited Ireland in Patrick's
time. Instead, it meant a symbol
of magic. Sensing ' the
significance of the trefoil, St.
Patrick used it as a handy and
simple illustration of the doctrine
of the Trinity. The three leaves
represented The Father, The Son
and The Holy Spirit. Hence, to the
people of Ireland today, the
shamrock is still no ordinary
clover.
When St. Patrick died, the
people flocked to his funeral.
They carried such a
conglomeration of torches and
candles that the night was said to
be as bright as the day. From this
story sprang the contention that
the sun refused to set during the
days between Patrick's death
and his burial.
Thus St. Patrick's life, work
and even his death bequeathed to
the Irish people a multitude of
situations from which to weave
their famous legends.
Although the Irish folklore and
fun is present all year round, it
bubbles over on March 17. That's
the day those of us, who aren't
Irish but wish we were, don the
shamrocks and join in the
shenanigans, jigs and smiles.
Gwyn's Cookery Corner
Something for everyone this
week, I hope. Thought it was time
for another recipe or two for the
people who cook for one.
For BAKED CHICKEN,
MODERN WAY, evaporated
milk must be used. Ordinary milk
or cream simply will not do.
GINGERY LEGS AND
THIGHS sounds a bit immoral,
but this is a recipe, obtained in
Honolulu and is delicious and
easy to make . . .
Then for the vegetarians
there's VEGETABLE NUT PIE,
a delicious non-meat dish. You
get your protein from the nuts
and beans.
For the busy housewife or
working girl, I pass along a
recipe given to me by a friend,
who served it at lunch one day
when we were visiting. I call it
HELEN'S STEW. Terrific with a
large tossed salad, crunchy hot
rolls and pickles.
And then, from Ontario Egg
Producers Marketing Board,
there comes a yolk-free Baked
Custard recipe for heart patients
on a restricted saturated fat and
cholesterol diet. The left over
yolks may be used in recipes for
the rest of the family on a normal
diet, such as mayonnaise.
BAKED CHICKEN
Using part of a very small tin of
evaporated milk, dip chicken
part and pat it over all surfaces.
Roll in season crushed corn
flakes
Wrap loosely in foil and bake. It
will be tender and moist despite
its crisp covering. The
evaporated milk takes the place
of shortening and the cornflakes
seal in the flavour.
Fowl, Meat, or Fish may be
done this same way. Maybe
cooked in deep oil on top of the
stove, too.
GINGERY LEGS AND THIGHS
