INCOME TAX IS
CHILD'S PLA'
One of the great con-
MAW peeves is the cost of serv-
IM, Not only is it expensive, tut it
his. to some of us that we re-
tire help too often. One way to
avoidthese costs is to read the in-
structions and to spend time
maintaining your equipment.
Canadian appliances are certi-
fied for safety against fire and
shock hazard, but they must be
used according to manufactur-
er's instructions to give satisfac-
tory service. Here are some
longer -life and less service tips:
Refrigerators: Vacuum the
dust and cobwebs from the bot-
tom of the box about three or four
times a year. When defrosting
older appliances, give the ice be-
hind the frozen food compart-
ment time to melt. Do not have a
built-in refrigerator unless it is•
one that exhausts heat out of the
front. Allow at least one inch of
space on both sides of the refri-
gerator and at least three inches
at the top and back.
Vacuum cleaners: Don't let the
machine suck up such things as
pins, small toys, sewing lint, be-
cause these jam the works. If the
,suction isn't good, clean out the
bag and check the hose for ob-
struction. When inserting a new
bag. be sure you open it up -it
takes too much power for the
machine to do this. And change
the bag frequently. -
Ovens: Don't cover the bottom
of an oven completely with foil.
This seals off"the heating and you
won't be able .to cook.
Irons: If you live in a hard
water area or if tine manufactur-
er.suggests it, use distilled water,
else the tap orate% will clog the'
spray iron beyond repair..Avoid
corroding the, soleplate . by emp.-,
tying the iron before 'storing.
'roiling over .zippers and fasten
ere scratches and dans the, sole-''
plate. Fine scratches can .be re-
movedwith very ine ,Steel wool;
tbenriron over serraral �"tldclknesls-
es of wax paper to rewwax the
plate.
Dryers: Clean the lint trap
after use otherwise the air flow is
reduced and .the clothes .take
longer to, dry. Check that the
Clothes : have :empty pockets be-
cause sharp objects Such as
bobby iris- dan •work their -4v
through the metal drum and will
eventually • jam it or short -the
heatingelement. Above all, don't
%put plastic or foamrubber artII
cher; in the dryer. For example,
'avoid baby pants, rubber toys,
running shoes..
It's important to remember
that many older homes have too
few circuits and too small wires
to power today's electrical equip-
ment. If you are frequently
changing blown -out fuses, or the
TV picture dims when you turn on
another appliance, it's likely that
you have inadequate wiring to get
the best out of your appliances.
So'ime Notes on Milk
We never outgrow our need for
dairy products. Calcium defici-
encies are quite common among
older people, causing brittle
bones to be susceptible to
damage if there is a fall. Milk and
milk products such as cheese are
one way of ensuring that the older
body gets the calcium it needs to
stay healthy.
How is milk homogenized?
Simple. It is forced under high
pressure through small screen
openings so that the milk fat is
evenly distributed throughout.
And good news for allergy suf-
ferers. Those who are allergic to
fresh pasteurized milk may be
able to tolerate evaporated milk,
say some experts. The changes in
its proteins caused by the high
heat of 'processing sometimes
make it acceptable tothose who
react to other types of milk.
Quick Questions
If you buy frozen poultry, is it
safe to let it stand on the kitchen
counter to thaw before cooking?
Yes. But only if the bird is wrap-
ped in a brown paper bag or
covered with a towel. This pre-
vents the outside thawing . faster
and getting warm . before the in-
side thaws. Actually, the safest
way is in the refrigerator `or in
cold water. You can also .cook it
frozen, but the cooking period
should benne and a half times the
normal. For example, p at 325 de-
grees. F a thawed or fresh ten
peound turkey,.. requires four to five
hours;for..roast'ng. A frozen ten
dpouOttiturkey: will: require six to
-seven and a half hours.
Is it true that food can't burn in
a Teflon -coated pan? No. Foods
burn just as readily in a coated
pan if too much heat is used.
However; the burned food does
not stick to the pan and it can be
removed' more easily. When
usilig Teflon -coated saucepans, it
isit good.idea-toadjiist: tile -heat to
medium or low. And before using
a coated pan for the first time,
wash it with hot soapy water.
Rinse thoroughly with hot water,
dry and then apply corn oil to the
inside'surface with a paper towel.
k teaspoonful is sufficient.

HAPPINESS IS CERTIFIED SEED—Quality seed is a
small investment in a farmer's crop production. by using
"Certified" seed, you know that it's the best seed available
in Canada. Certified seed is tested extensively, tagged and
sealed as your guarantee of quality. Supplies of seed may be
scarce in' some areas of Ontario this year, so for the best
selection, farmers should plan their seed requirements
early and order well in advance of planting time.

COOKING
WITH
THE STARS
By M. N. Thaler
The Piscean, as you know, is a
seafood lover and we shall devote
today's column to a marvelous
recipe for a buffet party.
Be warned,i
it s a little tricky to
make—but it is well worth the
effort. This is the shrimp mousse
I promised .you last week.
Shrimp Mousse
1 can consomme Madrilene
dash of Tabasco sauce
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce'.
juice' of 2 lemons
3 envelopes plain gelatin
hard -cooked egg slices
artichoke bottoms
1 large package Philadelphia
cream cheese
1 cup mayonnaise
1'/2 cups sour cream
1/2 onion, grated
1 tbsp. chopped chives
1 cup chili sauce
1/2 cup chopped parsley
'/2 cup grated celery
3 pounds shrimp
juice of 1 lemon
watercress, for garnish
1. To the consomme Madrilene,
add the Tabasco and Worcester-
shire sauces and the juice of 2
lemons. Heat over a low flame.
2. Add 1 package of the gelatin.
Mix well to make sure it is dis-
solved completely.
3. Allow the mixture to cool
while chilling your mousse mold
in theeezer. When it is com-
pletely cooled, and the mold well
chilled, pour enough of the
mixture iilto the bottom of the
mold to just line it. Place in the
refrigerator to set.
4. Keep the remainder of the
mixture in the refrigerator and
allow it to thicken slightly.
5. When the first "liner" layer
is set, decorate the bottom of the
mold with slices of hard -cooked
eggs, artichoke bottoms—or any
other decorative garnish you
prefer.
6. Return to the refrigerator
and when the remainder of the
mixture has thickened suffi-
ciently, pour it over the gar-
nished first layer and allow it to
set mly while you are pre-
paring mousse.
7. Cream the cheese well, add
the mayonnaise, sour cream,
onion, chives, chili sauce, parsley
and celery; mix well.
8. The shrimp should have been
cleaned and cooked and should
now be finely chopped. Blend this
into' the cream cheese mixture—
make sure it is well blended—and
reserve.
9: Now take 1/2 'cup -of the con-
somme mixture and add it to the
remaining 2 packets of gelatin
which have been dissolved in the
juice of ,one lemon. When this well
'dissolved, add to the shrimp
mousse mixture and d blend
thoroughly.
10. Pack this into the mold and
allow it 'to set for several hours.
11. When well set and you. are
ready to serve it, loosen . the
mousse by placing the mold in:;ati
shallow pan of hot water. Then
invert the pan onto a serving
platter. Decorate with water-
cress and serve with any tangy
sauce you like.
Have a great buffet.
Schools benefit
from current
efficiency study
TORONTO (TIPS) — The old
problem of maintaining a budget
is certainly not new to school
boards, nor to the taxpayers who
foot the bills, but help may be on
the way.
A new program, Education Re-
sources Allocation System
(ERAS) is being carried out to
help school boards get the most
for their money. About a dozen
pilot projects are underway
-throughout Ontario dealing with
all aspects of school budgetry.
The pilot projects are sched-
uled for completion in 1974 and
1975, but in the meantime, local
school boards can benefit from
what is learned along the way by
attending seminars, workshops
and through publication of the
findings of ERAS as the program
evolves.
Basically ERAS will provide
school boards with workable
plans to increase efficiency, not
only through reduced costs, but
also with the idea of getting in-
creased performance all through
the educational system from
operation of school plants to cur-
riculum development from kin-
dergarten through honor gradua-
tion.
credit card he have
bec e s ioas problrnii
Credit canoe are a convenience
but what if you aluld, ha p to
lose one or have .it stolen?
Each year, millions, dollars
are recorj' fraudulently an,
credit cards'. No one is sure how
much, but estiinat are high.
Between 1948 and 1970, the total
consumer credit outstanding in
Canada rose to nI.0 billion from,
$835 million, a lot of it through
credit cards.
Most corikpanieS issuing credit
cards try to protect the customer
who has lost his Bard. 'Osually,
the card holder is held` respon-
sible only for purchases up to $50.
Erma Qespres, an air travel
plan representative with Air Can-
ada, says her company some-
times holds 'customers re-
sponsible for all purchases made
on their card up to the time the
company is notified.
The Way It Is
"It's unfortunate," Miss Des-
pres said in an interview, "but
legally that's the way it is."
Chris Mann, a sales repre-
sentative for Diners Club
(Canada) Ltd.., says his com-
pany's card holders are insured
against any illegal use of their
cards over $50.
After the customer has notified
the company of the loss, he is
asked to sign. a letter verifying
that the card has been either lost
or stolen.
Neither of the companies in-
vestigate customers' claims and
Mr. Mann admitted . a. person
"might get away with it" if he
says the card was lost but ac-
tually continues 'using it himself.
"We don't conduct proper in-
vestigations but Such cases are
rare."
Diners Club has considered the
ides of using, pictures on credit
cards but so far there appears to
be too many complications.
Errol Markel,. co-ordinator of.
retail for 'Gulf Oil Canada Ltd:,
agrees that , pietUres on credit
cards would not be convenient.

Revenge. of
the red man
The Canadian Indians wrecked
by the white ma are having Ma
last laugh, in, the Great Beyond.
Tobacco is the Indian revenge.
Before Columbus, tobacco,;,was
4 P ► Ip. a wh to roan, PPt
explorers soon saw that Indians
smoked the leaf in a Y-shaped
pipe called a tabaco. Each end of
the double -forked pipe was in-
serted into a nostril. In- some
places, though, Indians smoked
tobacco leaves rolled with husks
of corn. The white 'man Sampled
the stuff, liked it, and thereby put
a curse on coming generations.
The Indians 'smoked for cere-
monial purposes and as a symbol
of goodwill. They also believed
that tobacco had medicinal
values. It was, in fact, primarily
for this reason that explorers
carried the weed back to Europe.
The brainwash took so well that
by the middle of the seventeenth
century, a. London doctor wrote a
whole book on "The Wonderful
Vertues of Tobacco." The over-
zealous physician recommended
a drop of tobacco juice , in each
ear to cure deafness, a green ,to-
bacco leaf flat on the head to cure
headache, and a tobacco leaf tied
over a tooth to cure toothache.
For a cough, he ` advised boiling
tobacco leaves, shaking the
syrup, and putting the mixture on
the stomach.
Doctors have learned a lot
more about the effects of tobacco
over the last three centuries. Now
they know that smoking is a lead-
ing cause of emphysema, chronic'
bronchitis, lung cancer, coronary
heart disease, and other diseases.
But in the intervening centuries,
smoking. has spread around the
world. And there are still 45 mil-
lion Canadians who smoke cigar-
ettes.
To avoid going early to the
Great Beyond, find out ways to
kick the habit from your local
tuberculosis and respiratory dis-
ease association.

been misplaced. But usually this
rule is applied with leniency.
The 'company, however, does
investigate to see who, if anyone
is actuallyusing the card and if .a
pattern is spotted or collusion is
suspected the police are notified.
In 1971, Gulf lost about, $30,000
.to fraudulent use of credit Cards,
more than half of it in Quebec and
the Ottawa Valley.
Gulf says less than two per cent
of cords reported lost or stolen
are ever used.
The T. Eaton Co. Ltd. uses an
electronic system to track down
missing cards.
Tim Paulson, a supervisor in
Eaton's accounts department,
says that about three-quarters of
lost or stolen cards are found
within a few days.
Customers are not usually
asked to pay for merchandise
registered to the card which they
claim they did not reeeive, but
the store still has the right to do
so.
"We pretty well have to take
the customers' word for it," Mr.
Paulson .said.
Report to Winkler
urges public role
in Ontario Hydro
Greater .public involvement in'
the activities -of Ontario Hydro is
suggested'iii a report released e by
Honorable Eric A. Winkler,
chairman of the Management
Board of the Ontario Cabinet.
Mr. Winkler said the 88 -page
report "An Approach to Or-
ganization", was prepared by
Task -Force Hydro and suggests a
number of organizational chan-
ges to help implement its earlier
report.
.yam office of public affairs is
proposed to expedite handling of
public complaints of a service
nature relating to Hydro as a
means of enhancing Hydro re-
sponsiveness to the public. A pro-
cedure is also suggested for in-
volving the , public at an early
stage in the planning of major
generating facilities and trans-
mission lines.
A number of organizational
criteria were suggested to im-
prove,operating efficiency and to
enable Hydro to fulfill the
demands of its new mandate.
Mr. Winkler -said the report
was prepared by a five -man team
of consultants in collaboration
with a broad cross-section of
Hydro executives. Task Force
Hydro estimates that most of the
organization changes could be
effected in from 12 to 18 months.

Rye grain
for cattle
Indications that rye is at least
equal to barley in feeding value
for cattle , may ° have special
meaning for ". producers in the
Maritimes.
Research at the Agriculture
Canada research station at Fred-
ericton, N.B., indicate that .up to
60 per cent rye ,can be used in
high energy grain rations for
steer calves without changing
feed consumption, weight gains
or feed efficiency.
'An earlier experiment showed
similar results for dairy cows.
Rye, with its high yield
potential, is adaptable to the
Maritime climate. In fact, cereal
researchers rate fall rye as being
superior to winter wheat in
winter hardiness and claim it is
capable of producing more feed
value per acre than other cereal
grains.
