The Blue Barn mid Rhtiowel On HIGHWAY 23 AMPLE PARKING For reservations: IPSO* RISTOVAL 201400 Kitchen is a spin with turntables Space consciousness has now spread to kitchen accessories, which will be welcome news to anyone coping with a modern, scaled-down kitchen that pro- vides minimum counter space. Plastic turntable bases that spin smoothly on ball bearings are the key features of the new space-saving items, and they are being adapted to a wide range of house-wares. The revolving bases, which are made of sturdy, lightweight plastic, were originally launch- ed on the market simply as trays for holding small cooking aids such as spices. Because the tray spun around at the touch of a finger, it could even be plac- ed on an overhead shelf and the items were still within easy reach, . Among the "spinners" are spacious free-wheeling hors d'- oevres trays and covered cake- servers that require the mini- mum space, in attractive colors that harmonize with modern kitchen decor. HoWever, the best example of the efficient "touch and turn" concept is a newly-designed canister set. Flour, sugar, tea and coffee containers are made from poly- thene plastic molded into pie shapes to fit snugly onto the turntable base. TheL'Wadtyip i of each container Ts-sta-riafd, , but the set requires only the space taken by the 10+." dia- meter turntable and is equally at home on a shelf or a counter.

Paul Hutton married to Blanche Rowe at Durham 65 Dear Ann Landers: A woman who works in the same firm with my husband was having marital troubles about five years ago, She decided that my husband would be the perfect confidant and counselor. She writes him letters, tele- phones him at home, dedicates love songs to him on the radio and sends him records like a goofy teen-ager. Her latest ploy is to try to make a friend of me. I would not drag this trollop behind an oil tanker with 50 feet of rope, much less invite her to our home, How can I let her know I have no intention of accepting her invitations and that she should please stop ask- ing me to have lunch with her. Thanks for your help.—ON TO HER. Dear On: Anyone who can write a letter like that doesn't need me to put words in her mouth. Why not use that line about the oil tanker and 50 feet of rope? It would get your point across most effectively. Dear Ann Landers: Your col- umn is read so extensively that I can think of no better person to spearhead a campaign to get people to leave their transistor radios at home. No matter where I go I am forced to listen to somebody's idea of music. Most of it is junk. Yesterday the girl standing next to me at the bus stop had her transistor going full blast. My luck—she got on the bus and plunked herself right next to me. I tried but couldn't con- centrate because of that bee-bop, scoohy-dooby-do racket. I was so happy when I was able to get off the bus and away from the racket, but my joy didn't last long. The minute I got into an elevator a man stepped in with his transistor radio. He was listening to the same rotten station. Please tell people that if they can't hear to be away from their radios during the day, they should stay home with them.— FROM MISSOURI. Dear Mo: I agree it is poor manners to inflict music on people who may not want to hear it. So — for those who MUST take their radios every- where, I suggest the earphone type. * * * Dear Ann Landers: I am 10 years old and already I have two serious problems. Thoy are my mother and my father. My mother is on a diet and she reads her calorie book at the dinner table every night. What gets my father mad is that she counts HIS calories as well as her own, and he is not on a diet. Last night when mom started in with the calorie book he ask- ed her to put it away. She re- fused, so he went and got the newspaper and propped it up in front of his face. Mom got real mad and said he was acting childish. Who is at fault here and what should be done about it?—TIRED OF DINNER TABLE FIGHTS. Dear Tired: They both are at fault, but your mom started it. Ask her if she will please count her calories before your dad comes home. This would give all the members of the family peace and quiet at the dinner table, which is the way it ought to be. Dear Ann Landers: As a joke, I asked my wife what HER at- titude would be if I should sud- denly tell her there is "An- other Woman," She replied, "I realize men are not monogamous in nature, and therefore nothing would sur- prise me—but I would want it clearly understood that if you should become involved with "Another Woman" I should ex- pect her to live in the house and help with the washing and iron- ing and cooking. I try hard to satisfy your needs, but if you feel I am falling short of the mark, let's get someone to help me do EVERYTHING." I was, of course, being funny, but it turns out that maybe I'm not such a clown after all, — NED. Dear Ned: A wife who can come up with an answer like THAT doesn't need any help— from anybody. It sounds as if you have all you can handle, dad. * * * Dear Ann Landers: My boy friend is away at college. He is 19. I am 20. I live at home, have a good job and pay my parents for room and board. My boy friend comes from a fairly well-to-do family. Although I would not call his parents wealthy, they are better off fi- nancially than my parents. The problem is that my boy friend is constantly writing to me for spending money. I have been sending him $10 a week. Yesterday he wrote and asked if I could make it $15. I hate to be cheap, and I don't want to lose this guy, but I have the feeling he is taking advan- tage of me, Please tell me what you think. — ONE WOMAN LOAN AGENCY. Dear Loan Agency: The fel- low's lack of self-respect is ex- ceeded only by your stupidity. Stop sending the bum money. With a little luck you might lose him altogether. Is alcoholism a disease? How can the alcoholic he treated. Is there a cure? Read the booklet "Alcoholism —Hope and Help," by Ann Landers.

Lyon of Windsor, and Hector Malcolm MacKay, youngest son of Mr, and Mrs. Gordon. MacKay, \•.•ere married. The ceremony was perform- ed by Dr. Eddy, Mrs. Lynn Allen sang "Wedding Prayer", "The Lord's Prayer" and "0, Perfect Love". The church was decorated with white gladioli. The bride was given in mar- riage by her father and wore a white peau satin gown, empire styled with three-quarter length sleeves, embroidered in seed pearls and alcncon lace. The cathedral train fell from her waist and her shoulder length veil was held in place by a peat satin rose. She carried a cas- cade of white carnations and white stephanotis. She was attended by Mrs. Jack Salter, sister of the groom, who was matron of honor. The bridesmaids were Sharon Jansson We Canadians have a regret- table way of taking for granted so many of our blessings, Plain, though eminently satisfying food like the potato, for exam- ple. Potatoes in some form be- long in any good menu. The higher the quality of the pota- to, of course, the more care- fully cooked, the greater our enjoyment of that potato. To paraphrase that ancient recipe, "First catch your potato," and make it a Long White potato whenever possible. The Long White is an all-purpose which retains a new-potato flavor no matter how mature. Cook potatoes in a one-inch depth of boiling water or to cover. Add a teaspoon salt if potatoes are peeled. Cover, and cook just until crisp-tender. Overcooking causes vitamin loss. Cooking time can be shortened by quartering the po- tatoes. The minute potatoes are ten- der, drain them and hold the saucepan of potatoes over heat so any remaining moisture will evaporate and the potatoes will be nice and mealy. When baking potatoes, select ones of the same size so they will all be done at the same time. Grease the outside to loosen the very thin outer skin during baking. Potato skin eat- ers, however, will want them baked ungreased. Pierce each end of the potato with a point- ed knife or skewer, While po- tatoes aren't fussy about baking temperatures, it's best to bake them in a preheated hot (450 degrees F.) oven. When soft, cut gash in top of potato and press pulp upward. This re- of London, cousin of the bride and Beverley Lyon, sister of the bride, of Windsor.

Each of the attendants carried a cascade bouquet of white shasta daisies, Alan MacKay, brother of the groom, was best man.
