S Canada in celebrating
National Parks Centennial
Remember those blueberry pies that
grandma used to make to feed the threshing
gangs at harvest tin? Or what about that
corn relish that was stored in the cellar in
old glass jars with a seal of paraffin wax?
Maybe your grandmother made Russian
borscht or German potato pancakes? Or
was her specialty French.tortiere?
Well, it's time to dig out those old hand-
written recipies, which may have long been
tucked behind the microwave cookbook and
instant cake mixes! In celebration of our
Canadian heritage in 1985, Parks Canada
and Blue Mountain Pottery Limited of Coll-
ingwood, Ontario have joined together to
sponsor a Heritage Cooking Contest at fairs
across Canada this summer.
To date, more than 200 fair boards in-
cluding the Clinton Fair Board have agreed
to participate. All judging and awarding of
prizes will be made in .conjunction with
cooking contests at the local fairs. First and
second prizes have been donated by Blue
Mountain Pottery Ltd. and will be selected
from the company's newest line of oven -to -
tableware — The Georgian Bay Collection.
The Heritage Cooking Contest is oneof the
thousands of events 'planned this year in
recognition of thq. 108th anniversary of the
founding of Canada's, first national park at
Banff, Alberta. Members of the National
Parks. Citizens Centennial Committee are
working together with Parks Canada on the
cooking contest, an idea which started as a
centennial project of the Qntario Region of
Parks Canada and has grown to a national
event.
From Prince Edward Island to British
Columbia, cooks are dusting off their
recipes as they prepare to meet the
challenge of cooking and presenting food as
their ancestors did. If you don't have your
own treasure of farinly recipes, other
reliable sources are Canadian cookbooks,
household manuals, newspapers,
periodicals and almanacs.
Any recipe for foodstuffs may be used,
provided the recipe dates from before 1900
and is from a Canadian source. A copy of the
original recipe and notation about its source
and history must be attached to the entry.

Plaque for 15 year members
Huron County Council won't give recogni-
tion to its members until they have served
an accumulated 15 or more years of service.
It took two recorded votes for county
council to decide at its July 3 meeting to in-
stall a plaque in the court house's public
gallery. On this plaque will be listed the
names of county councillors who have serv-
ed 15 or more years.
County council voted 18 to nine in favor of
placing the one plaque in the court house. An
'earlier motion to give county councillors a
plaque after they have served on council for
five years was turned down in a 17 to 10
recorded vote.
Hullett Township Reeve Tom Cunn-
ingham said the five-year plaque would be
"pompOus" and he voted against both pia -
clues.
Colborne Township Reeve Russel Ker-
nighan voted the same way claiming council
would be forming a mutual admiration
society if the idea of the plaques goes for-
ward.
"We are here to do a serv• ice for our coun-
ty," said Hay Deputy Reeve Tony Bedard'.
Exeter deputy -reeve Lossy Fuller spoke
in favor of both motions. She said the plaque
would Point out to the children and grand-
children of county councillors the years they
served Huron. . . •
"There have been times when we have
spent money foolishly. But I think this is im-
portant," said the Exeter Deputy Reeve.

plaque for 15 or more years service are as

chison, Grey Reve Leona Armstrong,

Summertime, time o get out the
lawnchairs and BBQ, tithe to soak up the
sun, time t� sit back and.enjoy yourself. But
wait, what's that buzzing around? What are
those littlewhite things crawling on the
tomato ,plants? It's time to get out the spray
- it's .pesticide tithe!
"Most of us reach automatically for the
appropriate spray for flowers, trees and
garden patches,'"' says Betty Hunter of the
Lung Association, Huron Perth Counties,
but how many of is are knowledgeable
about pesticides aild the potential dangers
in using them?"
Pesticides are substances that kill pests.
They are widely used in agriculture and are
commonly used in indoor environments.
The term pesticide is used in a generic sense
to describe a , wide variety of toxic
substances. For example, insecticides, the
predominent form of pesticides, are insect
killers:. acaricides are mite killers, her-
bicides are weed and brush killers. These
substances vary in chemical composition
and can be used in various forms (powders.
dusts, liquids, "bombs"; aerosols, slow
release strips). , I
"Since these snbstan'ces contain various
chemicals it is ebsential that they be used
with care" says Hunter. "The pesticides,
depending on the form, can be inhaled, in-
gested or absorbed through the skin. Inhala-
tion leads to the quickest absorption.
Therefore, airborne pesticides can be very
hazardous 'especially for those with Chronic
respiratory problems as well as for young
children and the elderly."
So how can you protect yourself? First of
all, always read the labels before each use
and follow all directions. Never mix a
pesticide solution stronger than recom-
mended by the label - more is not necessari-
t ly better. If you are a person with sensitive
airways, get someone else to do spraying
and make sure you leave -the area for some
time. If the spraying is done indoors, Make
sure there is adequate ventilation - open the
windows and doors.

product are also welcome, and a modern
equivalent of the original recipe must be at-
tached.
It is proposed that judging be based on a
possible total of 100 points: 30 points for the
recipe, 20 for the product, 30 for presenta-
tion, and 20 for the modern equivalent
recipe. Judges will be looking for such
characteristics as whether a recipe relates
in some way to the history of Canada,
whether the exhibitor has used ingredients
that were available at the time the recipe
was used, whether the serving dish reflects
the period and style of the recipe, and
whether the modern equivalent recipe has
been suitably adapted for used in today's
kitchens.
Participants are being asked to test their
originality, not only in their selection of
recipes, but also in an innovative presenta-
tion, such as bannock bread in a willow
basket or tea scones on an antique cake
dish.
Parks Canada, which is part of the federal
government department of Environment
