ture of the event.
Enthusiastic diners packed the
hall almost from the opening
minute, and vast quantities of de-
licious salads, cold meats, devil-
led eggs and a varkety of pies
were furnished by the busy ladies
who were kept hopping from start
to finish.

ing project of the lodge here and
administered on the local level.

Babies vulnerable to
the age of accidents
The first year of a child's life is
known to pediatricians as the
"age of accidents".
During this time, parents, es-
pecially mothers, must be es-
pecially conscious of possible
accidents that could seriously
harm an ' infant, sometimes
permanently.
Suffocation; choking and falls
are the three greatest threats to
the safety of a small child—
warns the Council on Family
Health in Canada.
To avoid these hazards, the
Council, a non-profit organization
sponsored by the drug industry,
suggests the following basic safe-
ty rules:
Suffocation
Most incidents of suffocation or
smothering among infants occur
in the crib. To prevent such acci-
dents, keep your infant in his own
crib without a pillow. Make cer-
tain the mattress fits the crib
perfectly and that there are no
gaps .to trap your child.
Use thick, sturdy plastic to
cover the mattress, not the thin
type which clings to the baby's
nose and mouth. Avoid soft, loose
bedding or blankets that could
wrap around him. •
Don't put large, stuffed toys in
the crib. There are many hanging
toys that can amuse a child from
a safe distance above the crib.
Choking
Babies and toddlers put almost
everything into their mouths be=
food Forurin
features meat
The Ontario Ministry of Agri-
culture and Food is sponsoring a
Food Forum demonstration, "A
Dollar's Worth of Meat" tonight
(Thursday) at 8 o'clock in Cen-
tral Huron Secondary School. •
Home economists from the
ministry will demonstrate vari-
ous. meat dishes which cost a
dollar or less for four servings.
Each lady who attends the 'forum
will receive a free booklet which
contains the recipes demon-
strated. h
Everyone is welcome and there
is no charge.
cause it is one way they learn
about the shape, feel and taste of
things. That's why small things
must be kept out• of reach.
Never leave pins, needles, but-
tons and . candies lying about.
Make sure dolls' eyes cannot be
loosened and swallowed.
Place his crib away from vene-
tian blind cords and make sure
the spaces between the rungs of
his crib are too narrow for his
head to slip through.
Never buy sleeping clothes
with a drawstring about the neck
and don't use a pacifier with a
long cord or' -string.
Ah ays hold a small baby when
he is being fed. He may choke if
left alone with his bottle propped.
Falls
At about five months- of age, a
child will begin to squirm and try
to roll over. He often succeeds
when least expected, and may
even roll aff what appears to be a
'safe area. -
Never leave •your infant alone,
even for a minute, if he is on a
dressing table, a couch or an
adult bed. He may try , to see
where you are going and wriggle
head -first over the edge.
When he reaches the crawling
or toddling stage, keep gates fas-
ened at the top and bottom .of
stairways, and keep doors closed
to basement stairs.
• And above all, advises the'"
Council, don't take for granted
that -your baby can't climb this
chair or reach that needle. He is
constantly learning and May sur-
prise you. Try to keep one jump
ahead of him in assuring his safe-
ty.

History of musk
proves interesting
Thirty-one members of the
United Church, including two e
from Blyth and four from Bel -
grave, travelled tb London last
Wednesday evening where they
enjoyed a rally at Centennial
Hall.
Dr. Peloquin, Professor of
Music at Boston University,
spoke on the history of church
music, from the first chants that
were sung in the early church, to
the present-day contemporary
music being used.
A mixed -choir sang some of Dr.
Peloquin's original compositions
and were backed by a small or-
chestra with Dr. Peloquin at the
piano.
The rally was held in conjunc-
tion with the annual meeting, of
London Conference.
Nine attend
WMS meeting
BELMORE — rlhe May meet-
ing of the Women's Missionary
. Society was held in the church
school room on Wednesday eve-
ning of last week. Mrs. George
Nickel, president, was in charge.
The meeting opened with a
hymn. Nine ladies answered the
roll call with items on Africa. An
announcement was made regard-
ing the ladies' weekend camp at
Kintail in June. Mrs. Elmer Jeff -
ray is in charge of flowers for the
next month.
The topic, "Problems and Di-
lemmas in Modern Africa" was
presented by Mrs. Harvey
Ballagh, assisted by Mrs. D.
MacAdam, Mrs. R. Dickson and
Mrs. A. Mundell. As a. special
feature, Mrs. B. Darling read an
amusing poem, "Little Arrows",
and more seriously, "Do You Just
Belong". She also read a clipping'
telling about the project of the
children in Listowel who - are
collecting discarded eyeglasses
for use in ' underprivileged
countries. -
The meeting closed with a
hymn and prayer by Mrs. C.
Nickel. The next meeting will be
a visit to the Carrick Camp meet-
ing.
Proper care
is needed for,
stainless steel
Stainless steel is popular in
flatware and hollowware because
it doesn't require frequent clean-
ing, and cooking utensils keep
their appearance with very little
scouring. However, the term
"stainless" is a• bit misleading.
Stainless steel does stain if it isn't
properly handled.
Stainless steel tableware which
has been in contact with mustard,
mayonnaise, vinegar or a strong
salt solution should be washed as
soon as possible. Otherwise, it
may discolor. Although stainless
steel is not harmed by the strong
detergent and very hot water in a
dishwasher, it will stain if left
standing unwashed as long as
overnight: When it becomes spot-
ted and stained use a stainless
steel cleaner, available in liquid,
powder or paste form.
. Stainless steel cookware is
easy -to keep bright and shiny if
you always use it on low or med-
ium heat, never on high, and
wash it thoroughly after each
use. When overheated. stainless
takes .on a rainbow tint. To re-
move this heat tint, soak a cloth
in full-strength'ammonia, wrap it-
around
taround the pot and leave it for
half an hour. Then rinse it off and
the discoloration should be gone.
The secret of keeping stainless
steel in top condition with little
work is to wash it promptly and
properly after each use and never
subject it to high heat. Then it
won't have a chance to develop
marks which may be impossible
to remove.

Beef color sign
of freshness
The color of packaged ground
beef concerns many consumers.
Packaged meats are often an at-
tractive, bright red 9n the outer
surface and a darker purplish -
red or grayish -red on the inside.
Food specialists at the Ontario
Food Council, Ministry of Agri-
culture and Food, explain why.
All meat is a dark purplish red
when first cut. This is the natural
color of the pigment in the meat.
This pigment is very similar to
the hemoglobin in humans—it
contains iron and reacts to
oxygen in, the same way. The
dark color of the` fresh cut meat
quickly becomes bright red when'
exposed to air and oxygen, as this
pigment picks up - oxygen, ,in a
manner similar to the way hemo-
globin carries oxygen in humans.
Meats are covered in a clear
film through which air can pene-
trate. The outer layer is therefore
in contact with some oxygen, and
is the bright color consumers
have come to expect. The meat in
the center is shielded from oxy-
gen and remains the dark color it
was when first ground. The
bright red . surface and darker
center is reallS7 a sign of freshly
ground meat. • s
St. Paul's speaker tells
of childhood in Estonia
The Teenage Girls' group (for-
merly Junior Altar Guild) of St.
Paul's Anglican Church, held its
second annual Mother and
Daughter banquet in the parish
hall Monday evening. The meal
was prepared by the girls and
served under the capable leader-
ship of Miss Carol Higgins, the
social convener, each member of
the group taking a responsible
part. -
The table centre consisted of
pink carnations and fern,
streamers leading to each
mother's and other guest's place
cards, which were the favors
given to the mothers at the end of
the banquet.
Miss Julie Foxton, president,
welcomed the guests. Rev. T. K.
Hawthorn asked the blessing and
Miss Heather Farnell proposed
the toast to the mothers. Mrs.
Robert Ritter replied.
Mrs. T. K. Hawthorn intro-
duced Mrs. J. K. McGregor,
guest speaker, who gave a most
interesting and graphic descrip-
tion of her childhood in Estonia
and the story of her family's
travels from there during the war
years, to eventual freedom in
1945. This was especially in-
teresting and informative to the
girls of this group, many of whom
re now of voting age and will
soon realize the importance of
living in .a democratic country
where one is able to make use of
the privilege to vote.
Miss Julie Foxton expressed
the appreciation of alt present to
Mrs. McGregor. Mrs. Hawthorn
expressed appreciation to a
guest, Mrs. Fred Parker, for her
help during the winter at the
monthly meetings.
Mr. Hawthorn presented coffee
spoons to Miss Patti King and
Miss Heather Farnell who will be
leaving for college in the fall. He
then pronounced the benediction,
bringing to an end a successful
season and a 'host enjoyable eve-
ning.
