."hose degrees bug me
;Some pretty ealrthlseking
events occurred around our
place lately.
First of all, ._my wife *has
taken « up curling. Perhaps "ta-
ken up" is not the right
phrase. "Falling down" might
be closer. -
The 'first time she stepped
on the ice, her feet went to
heaven, and her bottom wept
to the other place. The earth
shook (you must have,.felt it)
and she has the purple 'poster-
ior to prove it.
She .has. fallen only about
four times per game since, and
has mastered the art to the
point where she can look up
from her sprawl with the in-
jured innocence of a pro hock-
ey player trying to pin a penal-
ty on the guy who didn't trip.
him.
"For years she has looked
down on the sport. She thought
the curling club was a -place
where men went to drink,
smoke, play pool and poker,
curl, and get away from their
wives. And she -was right.
Now she has learned that it
is a cultural centre where
women . go to drink, smoke,
play bridge, curl, and get away
from their husbands. And she's
right again, as usual.
But as long as she Cando it
with Mme, and keep an eye on
me, she feels it is one of Can-
a ada's grand old sports. I used
to get home from the curling
club at midnight. Last time; we
got.hotne at 3 a.m., after being
invited somewhere for "coffee".
' I wish I could get the same
price for that coffee- that the
distributors do. -
Anyway, the' Old Battleaxe
has been hooked. She doesn't
• know a hag from a hack, a skip
from_ a drop-out, belt With
Hugh's . old stretch ski pants
on, and Hugh's old skiing
sweater on, 'she's the prettiest
curler on the ice. If she could
sweep that ice the way she can
sweep the kit'ch'en floor, we'd
be in the money every time.
The second earth -shaker
around here was Kim's per-
formance .in the piano exams
for her degree in music.
'Not only did -she -knock •off a
er first-class honor mark, but she
topped the list 'of candidates.
can _now ,add .th:e. letters
•
A,R.T.C. after her name. That's
longer,than my degree..
That cost me. Kim phoned,
collect, between music lessons
in the city,- and my wife
phoned every relative a between
here and Zanzibar,.
But ' for one wird . and glo-
rious ;moment, I thought it was
over. After an accumulated 30
years of 'music lessons among
her brother, her mother, and
herself, I thought I 'was home
free."
No more wincing as I wrote
out cheques"for the conservato-
ry. No more trucking the kids
all over the country, itt bliz-
zards, toplay at festivals. No
more sweating through per-
formances. No more getting up
at a quarter to seven to take -
her to the bus. No more. -
It• seems I was wrong. My
wild and glorious, moment was
only a moment. She "wants to
carry on with lessons. And her
mother is thinking of resuming
lessons. And Hugh will be
around one of these days, bro-?
ken, crooked -linger and all,
ready to go back to it.
We now have two A.R.T.C.
diplomas in the house. They
look beautiful, side by side on
the living -room wall. It's like
sitting in a doctor's office.
But what really drives - me
out of my skull is that not one
of them can play anything. As-
soon as the festival or exam is
over, they take new pieces, and
the old ones are dumped over-
board. So, during any 11-
month , period of _the...: year -no-'-
body in my family has learned
the new pieces, and they've
forgotten the old ones:
Ask anyone to play a piece,
for company, and you get the.
familiar whine, "I haven't any-
thingready."
I never heard of • a guitar-
player or a mouthor"gan-player•
who lost his repertoire over-
night. But I am here to testify
that a piano player of classical
music can't even whistle a
tune, most of the time.
Aside from two degrees on
the wall, and two pianos
around my neck, all I've got
out of the whole thing is three'
people who think they are -gift-
ed, talented, and couldn't play -
"Mary Had a Little Lamb",
without six weeks -preparation.

TIPS FOR HAMBURG` AND
I•Iome•- economists at
Macdonald Institute, University
of Guelph,- r"•have , these
suggesticins for homemakers who
are trying to add interest to the
menu through varying the basic
recipe for hamburgers:
Grind , the raw hamburger a
second time, ,then add
Milk, 1 egg, and 1/ cup dry bread
crumbs to, each pound of meat.
Bacon -wrapped: Wrap thick
patties in bacon slices, secure
with a toothpick, then broil to
desired,degree of doneness.
Extra -juicy mushroom
burgers: Add 1/a cup evaporated
milk and • r cup chopped
mushrooms to the raw mixture.
TIPOR NEW COOKS
Tips for new cooks: Buy
approximately one pound of
hamburger for four servings.
This could stretch to five
servings • if vegetables, rice, etc.,
are added. A meat loaf made
with twopounds of han burger
meat as a base will probably
serve four ;personk for two -
meals. The Foods and Nutrition
Department of Macdonald
Institute, University of Guelph,
reminds you that meat loaf is
.._.-good served cold in thick slices,
and it' makes excellent
sandwiches. '
STORING HAMBURG
_ flow long can you store fresh
h a min rg . meat? Home
economists at, Macdonald
Institute, University of Guelph,
recommend that if the meat is
fresh it ' should be wrapped
loosely in waxed paper with the
ends open, put ip P .the
refrigerator immediately, and
used within two days. For longer
periods of storage, the meat
should be wrapped in foil and
'frozen in the frozen food
department of the refrigerator; it
should only be kept for twikto
three" • weeks.

VEGETABLES
..Many a wise housekeeper will
choose turnips when she goes
shopping for vegetables. They
are inexpensive, readily available
at,.this time of year, and are :a
good source of vitamin C.
The colorful turnip can be
served • in - combination with
other vegetables ' or in meat
dishes, or it can be served alone
in mashed, creamed or baked
form. Cut into sticks and served
raw, it is a flavorful relish.
What does a good turnip look
like? Fogd " • Specialists at
Macdonald l"nstitute, University
of Guelph, give this buying
guide; select a smooth,
well -formed turnip that is firm
and heavy for its size. The most
common variety of turnip 4as a
round yellow body and a wide
deep purple mantle. ,
Ontario waxed turnips,
properly stored in a cool
basement or in the crisper of the
regrigerator, will maintain their
supply of vitamin C and fresh
quality for several months. Th'

safety goggles for her eyes, u •
safety hat for her head, and pro-
tective clothing to guard her -
s against accidental injury to her
body.

Why_. not borrow some of the
measures of •industry and apply
them to the chores of the home-
maker? Here are some sugges-
tions how your can do this. from
the Council on Family Health, a
non-profit organization sponsored
as a public service by leading
members of the drug industry to
promote home safety and fancily
health.
When working at the stove,
use hot 'pads for handling pots
and pans. Or use padded safety
gloves if you prefer.
Keep your face away from the
cooking utensil you uncover.
When lifting the lid on a pan of
hot grease or steaming 1i uids,
tilt it so you can see what is ap-
pening in the skillet or pot -,
out being spattered or scalded.
If you wear glasses 'while
working, be sure they are clean,
and that you can read'blearly. It
is important to read labels on
medicinca and household chemi-
• cals and understand every word
of the directions, so they niay be
followed completely -
When reaching for objects on
high shelves, use a step stool. Be
sure of your tooting so that the
objects you lift 'won't fall on your
head.
Wear comfortable but protec-
tive clothing. House dresses
should be made of fire resistant
fabric.- Wear short -sleeved gar-
- merits without belts or sashes.
Long sleeves may catch on pot
handles. Sashes or loose. belts
may catch an doorknobs, cabinet
catches or household appliances.
