Clinton News-Record, 1979-03-01, Page 13, t' Cubs and scouts treat fathers The Vanastra Cub Pack and Scout Troop held their annual Father and Son Banquet on Friday February 23 at the Vanastra Recreation Centre. Murray Hohner, president of the Vanastra and District Lions Club, was the master of ceremonies for the evening. After in- troducing the guests, Mr. Hohner led all in the World Hunger Grace. The guests were Ervin Sillery, Reeve of Tuckersmith Township, Jack -- McLachlan president of the Big Brother Organization for Clinton and Vanastra, and Constable Bill Wilson of the Goderich detach- ment of the Ontario Rr-ovincial Police. After a delicious roast beef dinner the Cubs and Scouts entertained the guests and fathers by singing their new songs. The Cubs sang "Cub Days" which goes to the tune of Clementine and the Scouts sang "Call a Scout" which goes to the tune of "If You are Happy and You Know It." Both of these songs were written for the groups by Mrs. Esther Handy. Mr. Sillery and Mr. 'McLachlan each gave us a little talk, and Con- stable Wilson then showed slides and read a story on "The growth of the Laws we Live By". From this story the boys learned how laws first started, from the law of the jungle through to the laws that we now have and how the courts decide who broke the law. This was a very informative talk and was enjoyed by all. Thank you to the ladies who prepared and served the meal. The Cub Pack has been busy learning knots. All the boys have mastered the reef knot and most have learned the bow line this week. All now know the song Cub Days and are also working on a new prayer, and the boys were asked to bring a wire* coat hanger each for a craft next week. The following week we plan to have Kub Kar races and all parents are welcome to watch. No Winterama The Winter-rama that the associates had scheduled for February 24 was cancelled due to bad weather. It will be held this Saturday March 3, and if wet weather persists, the games will be held irk the Vanastra Recreation Centre.

Jerome and M. Dunsmore 0 Sharon's recipe corner Pork Loaf In these days of ever- increasing beef prices, the following recipe not only provides an economical alternative, but also a tasty one from the basic meatloaf. This recipe can be served hot from the oven, or for summer meals sliced thinly when cold. When serving hot, garnish the loaf with apple rings or pickled crabapple, or serve applesauce on the side. This recipe is also a nice change for sand- wiches for the lunchbox crowd. 2 lbs. pork sausage meat or ground pork 3 cups fairly well -packed breadcrumbs 4 eggs 2 tsp. 'Worcestershire sauce 2 tsp. chopped onion one-third ' cup • chopped salad olives or pickles of your choice Chocolate Chip Loaf 6 oz. chocolate chips 2 cups all-purpose flour 21/2 tsp. baking powder 1 tsp. salt two-thirds cup shortening 1 cup sugar 3 eggs two-thirds cup milk 11/2 tsp. vanilla 1/2 cup finely chopped pecans Put chocolate chips through fine blade of food chopper.

Prevent container openings from sticking, particularly on nail - polish bottles, tubes of glue, .cans of varnish, etc., by rubbing petroleum jelly inside the cover and on the grooves before using the first time. Coat your snow shovel with flour wax and snow will slide off easily. A large old strainer can be used for sprinkling sand on an icy, slippery sidewalk. The job will go quicker and the sand will be distributed more evenly than if thrown by hand.
