I hope my intuition is
wrong. I'm not looking
forward to the coughing,
snuffling and blowing,, but
lately I've felt almost un-
patriotic. To not have a cold

anti-Canadian,
In the medical vein, I
heard recently that germs
from a cold can be
transmitted as readily by
touch as by a cough or a
sneeze.
If you've got a cold, you
leave germs on everything
YOU touch a comb, a table, a
telephone receiver. That's,
why wiping things off after
you've handled them is im-
portant.
A handshake can transmit
germs as quickly as a kiss.
(You'd have a hard time
convincing a lot of people of
that one.)
One thing puzzles me.

to catch it first, but from

All vegetables are created
equal - but some are more
equal than others, says, the
chairman of the Ontario
Vegetable Growers„ Harry
Dougall.
So, if you're looking for
ways to cut your food bill,
,
says the Exeter area farmer,
you should ignore those-
expensive imported fresh
vegetables and head for the
canned and frozen food
aisles of your favorite
supermarket. ,
"Many shoppers buy
expensive imports in the
misguided belief that fresh is
always best," Dougall says,
"Yet studies show that,
dollar for dollar, there is as
much or more nutritional
value in canned and frozen
Cut your vegetable bills.
by avoiding imports II* .•
vegetables as in those out-of-
Sea$00 imports.
"And when you consider
waste from trimming and
cooking, these out-of-season
imports often cost twice as
much as an equal amount of
frozen or canned
vegetables,"
In fact, the price rise for
processed vegetables was
the lowest of the 15 types of
food studied between 1971
and 1978 by the Centre for the
Study of Inflation and
Productivity, Economic
Council of Canada. Fresh
vegetables recorded the
second highest price in-
crease at 189.6 per cent,
second only to fresh fruits at
a whopping 221.6 percent.
These price increases were
by draining a 14 oz. can of
whole kernel corn and ad-
ding 1/4 cup diced cucumber,
1/4 cup diced green pepper
and 1/4 cup French dressing.
Or use a 10 oz. package of
frozen corn which has been
cooked and drained instead.
Chill well before serving.
Dress up canned or frozen
peas by adding 2 tsp. melted
butter, 2 tsp. finely chopped
parsley, 1 tsp. minced
spanish onion and 3 sliced,
pitted black olives, after the
peas are heated and drained.
Put a little zip into
creamed peas by sauteing 1k
cup sliced celery in 1 tbs.
butter or margarine until
tender. Add a 10 oz. package
of frozen peas (cooked and
drained), 1/4 tsp. crushed
rosemary (fresh if possible),
1/2 tsp. salt and 1/4 cup dairy
sour cream. Heat through,
but do not boil.
Add a little variety to
creamed corn, canned
kernel corn, or frozen corn
by seasoning with one of the
following: 1/4 tsp. curry
powder (or more to taste), 1/
tsp. chili powder or 1/2 tsp.
oregano. Add the seasonings
to the canned corn after it is
heated and to the frozen corn
after it is heated and
drained.
Combine frozen or canned
string beans with 1 tsp.
melted butter, 1-2 tsp. fresh
minced spanish onion, 1/2
tsp. celery seed and 1/4 tsp.
tarragon after the beans are
heated and drained.
Flavor green beans or
cauliflower with 1 tsp. finely
chopped fresh dill and 2 tsp.
melted butter, added after
heating. Or add a nutty
crunch instead by topping
the beans with thinly sliced
almonds sauteed in butter.
largely due to the increased
cost of imported fresh
produce.
."Even though the cost of
fresh vegetables rose nearly
twice as fast as that of
processed vegetables,
consumers are increasingly
turning to fresh - par-
ticularly imported fresh- at
the expense of home-grown
canned and frozen
vegetables," says. Dougall.
"That means higher prices
for consumers, and lost
wages and jobs for
Canadians with all that
money flowing out bf
Canada. During 197$, the last
year for which figures are
available, fresh imported
vegetables were valued at
$304,544,000," he added.
According to Dougall,
Canadians ate 117 percent
more imported vegetables in
1978 than in 1971, During the
10-year period from 1968-
1978, total consumption of
fresh vegetables, including
domestic and imported, rose
26 percent, he says.
Imported vegetables, which
now make up a third of our
fresh vegetable supply,
obviously accounted for a
large portion of this in-
crease.
However, during that
same 10-year period, con-
sumption of canned
vegetables fell by 7.3 percent
and consumption of frozen
vegetables showed a modest
5.7 percent increase.
The reason for this trend
isn't clear, he says. It may
be due to a lack of promotion
of processed vegetables, or it
may simply be the current
interest in natural foods
which has led many con-
sumers to buy fresh foods
rather than processed.
"The nutrients lost
during vegetable processing
are minimal," says Dougall.
"For example, peas and
corn are picked at the peak
of maturity and frozen
within three hours. Imported
fresh vegetables may be
picked before they are ripe
HARRY DOUGALL
and can spend up to a week
in transit before reaching the
stores. Undoubtedly, they
lose some of their vitamins
in the process.
"Over-cooking by the
home-maker causes more
loss in vegetables than the
freezing or canning process
itself," he says. "And of
course that applied to fresh
vegetables as well.
"When properly prepared,
canned and frozen
vegetables actually cost less
per nutrient than imported
fresh vegetables," he says,
citing a recent study by the
Canadian Food Processors
Association, which com-
pared fresh, frozen and
canned beans, cauliflower,
broccoli spears, spinach and
tomatoes bought out-of-
season.
The study took into ac-
count waste factors from
trimming fresh vegetables
as well as cooking losses
based on unpublished data
from Food advisory Services
of Agriculture Canada.

Yes folks, Canadians are
'marching to the sound of a
common beat - drip, da da
drip, da da drip, da da drip,
da da drip.
Everyone I talk to lately
seems to be trying out for a
T.V. decongestant ad.
If there's anything good to
be said about the common
cold, perhaps it is that it
draws Canadians together.
At least Ontarians are begin-
ning to look alike with their
noses like Rudolph the
reindeer, their puffy eyes,
their drawn cheeks and their
white knuckles.
Ontarians are dressing
alike, bundled up from head
to foot and still shivering.
They're beginning to sound
alike - nasal. "Eh-hems"
and "achoos" can almost be
declared words in everyday
conversation.
Kleenex manufacturers
must be making a bundle.
You'll notice I've been
saying "they" instead of
"we". As yet, I've escaped
the bug, but today I have a
craving for a mug of tomato
soup' - a sure sign that I'm
coming down with
something.
Everyone has their tell
tale signs and their
homemade remedies. My
sign and remedy are one and
the same - tomato soup.

The taste of Ireland was
the theme for the March
meeting of Unit One of
Exeter United Church
U.C.W. All joined in singing
Danny Boy and this was
followed by a trip to Ireland
by way of pictures taken by
Mrs. A. Johnson. Rev.
Forsythe showed the pic-
tures and Mrs. Forsythe
read an interesting. com-
mentary prepared 'by Mrs.
Johnson.
Mrs. V. Jeffrey was in
charge of the program and
read several poems. Mrs. W,
Brock read a story of a
woman who planted many
daffodils every year.
Her reason for doing this
was to remind her of all the
things God could do for her if
given a chance. She could
plant the bulbs and forget
about them. God would
provide the rain and sun
until they were a mass of
blooms. He will help us with
our worries if we will let

The Women's Auxiliary to
South Huron Hospital met
last Tuesday afternoon to
hear some proposed changes
in their constitution,
President Lillian Campbell
called the special meeting so
that members could hear the
preliminary report of the
committee looking into
constitutional changes.
Mrs. Campbell explained
that only four meetings are
scheduled per year -- in
April, October, November
and December. Last fall she
called a special meeting in
September to prepare for the
fall rummage sale.
It was announced at the
meeting that the date of the
spring rummage sale would
be May 8. Mrs. Leone Brock
reported that the Cancer
Society would be sponsoring
a fashion show April 30.
The next meeting of the
auxiliary will be April 8 at
12:30. There will be a pot
luck lunch, and the new
hospital administrator
Roger Sheeler will attend the
meeting.
