Bag 5 1.39 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 chicken portions for one; 1 tbsp. soy sauce: 'z tsp. powdered ginger, 1 2 tsp. sugar; Aill1111111111111•1111.1111111N Hardware Gunn Home Hardware 235-2511 Exeter 1 4 tsp. salt; 1 tsp. grated raw orange peel.
