It almost makes Me cry when
I think of the future my kids face,
unless there is a reversal of the
trend in modern cooking. The
-other night, I was helping Hugh
study his science. The book de-
scribed how fruits are preserved
and put in jars. "That's a kind of
crazy thing to do with 'fruit," he
says. "Why don't they just buy
it in cans at the store, like we dor

My heart smote me when I real-
ized that the boyhad no know-
ledge of the great pleaWre of going
down to the cellari looking along
the serried rows of preserves, and
picking out a quart of delectable
raspberries, delicrous yello
peaches, or pale*golden pears.

..Tonideilght,however, degener-
ated as their tastes are, the kids
retain an instinct for honest food.
When they're -served the latest in
canned Italian ravioli -or Polish

frozen chop suey or pre -prepared
chile, they merely muck it about
on their plates. But give them an
honest home -cooked meal, however
simple, something like sausages,
potatoes and mashed turnips, and,
they gollop it up and want more.
I shudder to think .that cooking

Prophetical Poem Written 510

.Exactly 510 years it.to---in .the

"the day woujd come whOn
and France would be "as ()VP."
Uneannily Correct
The poem • read as follows:
".,1 house of glass shall come to pass
in England, hut alas!
War will jollow. With 1 he work
In the land of the Pagan and 'Turk;
'And .St al e and State in fierce -strife

And in itscentre a 'Bishop's See;
Around the world thoughts shall fly

.Water shall yet wOnder do,
Now strange, shall yet be true;
The world upside down shall be,
And ,gold found at the root of a

Through hills man-Khall
j And no horse or ass be by his side;
Uvier the water' shall men walk,
In the air shall be een,
In white, in black, in green;
Iron in the water shall float '
As easy as a wooden boat,

• WITH BILL SMILEY
Something sinister is developing
in , the kitchens acrois this fair
land of ours. There is confusion
in the cuisine. Culinary dry rot
has made its appearance in the
cookhouse.

The signs are everywhere. Gar-
bage Cans, which once sat in solid
• dignity, 'heavy with tea -leaves,
potato peelings, egg shells and
•grapefruit skins, now teeter giddily
in the slightest breeze, their cargo
composed of frozen food wrappers,
waxed orange juice containers,
eomxpets.y, tins and vacant ready -mix

Children, who once came in from
play, bright-eyed, rosy-cheeked, pip-
ing "what's for supper, Mom?"
now sit before a lighted box in a
darkened room, shoving unknown,
untasted food into their: slack little
.mouth.s.
* * *•
Brawny laborers, home after a
hard day on -the job, looking for-
ward to a heaping hot plate of
viands, quail as they are confronted
with yet another triumph 'of the
canning kings, the frozen food
tics.

There is a close similarity be-
tween the development .of new cars
and new. stoves. As gadget after
gadget,frill after frill is added
to the n. ew models, their owners
become worse and worse drivers.
As °stoves sprntirmore and more
buttons, louder' and louderbells
and buzzers, women grow less and
less able to cook a decent meal.

• As a matter of fact, the very
word "cook" is growing into dis-
repute, Women no longer admit
shyly that they are "a pretty good
cook." They brag instead that
they can "turn out" or "whip up"
a pretty good meal. -The very
phrases telra let abut modern
"cooking." .The women turfl out

Even at that, it's an ordeal.
Only time we see a cake around
our house is when some organiz-
ation is having A bake Sale, and the
Old Girl -gets hooked for making
one. By'the time she gets through
making one lousy cake, we're lucky
if we get a can of soup, or some
frozen fish and chips, for dinner.
Mother is not only exhausted, but
every dish in the kitchen is dirty-,
