“If a restaurant chef cooked only one meal, to be served im- mediately, he would soon go out of business!” exclaimed the Chef. “He saves time, and therefore money, by preparing many foods in double or triple amounts, then refrigerating them to use the next day, or wrap - sealing and freezing for use within a month.” “That’s what I call frozen ‘food

Recipes for all of these have been previously given in this column.” BEANS KEEP WELL

“Boston baked beans with salt pork as well as baked lima beans are well adapted to freezing up

“Whatever the entree, it must be frozen in a moisture - proof rigid container. That's why, in the test kitchen, we use square waxed board freezing containers, sealed by merely pressing down the container’s rigid lid. Besides, they are reasonable in price and ‘can be nested for storage.”

Some time ago Miss Mabel E1- len Lucas, Brookline, Mass., was -named“ president of The Mother Church, The First Church ‘of Christ Scientists. At that time an article How to Believe was pub- lished.'This article makes for in- spirational reading, as we begin the New Year 1958. The follow- ing is the article:

1. Believe. ,

2. As you train your mind to believe, 'every:th-ing tends to move out of the area of the impossible into that of the possible.

3. Never compare yourself or your achievements with others, but make your comparisons only with yourself. '

By CHARLES MERCER NEW.YORK (AP) — Several months ago Gisele MacKenzie realized a_' dream of many years when she visited Venice in three days. =' Gondoliers, singing, plied the canals with their freight of loving’ couples; pigeons swarmed in San Marco Square; the bells raised their hourly clamor. The Cana- dlan singer sat alone in her ex- pensive hotel where to u r i s t s

pered to, one another, "There’s Gisele MacKenzie.”

After a day of Miss ‘MacKen- zie watching Venice while Venice watched her"; she went out and hailed the first -gondolier she saw for a three-hour ride. He doubled his price and took her along. But he refused to sing for her. SANG I-IERSELF ‘ ,

So, as she rode the canals of Venice alone, Miss MacKenzie sang to her gondolier.

Except that she is not a lonely girl, that story tells quite a bit about Miss MacKenzie: Gregar- iously inclined yet a trifle shy; moderately venturesome and wryly reliant; a sense of humor and always readiness to sing Those qualities are apparentln The Gisele MacKenzie Show (NBC-TV Saturdays, 10:-30 p.m. AST), which originates live -from Hollywood.

“I think one of the most im- portant things about the show is that all of us on it have a good time,” she said on a brief visit to New York. “If that comes across, then it's to be expected that the home audience has good time too.” . N0 WORRIER

Whatever the audience rating ups and downs of her program, Miss MacKenzie refuses to worry.

‘fMy job is to sing and enter- tain—not worry,” she says. , As with every television vari- ety show. Miss MacKenzie’s pro- gram has its biggest problem in obtaining guests who have more than the proverbial one talent. A singer must do more than simply slug; a man must do more than stand up and tell a joke. “A per- former has to perform and move with- us.”

Having your own weekly mu- sical variety show on television is a burden, no matter how de- determined you are not to worry. A STRONG STOMACH

“Perhaps my biggest asset is that I have a strong stomach,” Miss MacKenzie said. “I can take a grind. I had the best training in the world for it during four years of appearing every week on Your Hit Parade. Nothing can take the place of that.”

As do many women, Miss MacKenzie finds her greatest re- laxation in shopping.

“It doesn’t have to be Christ- mas,” she said. “Every Monday I take the time off to go shop- ping. For what? Anything. Cloth iug, perfume, gadgets —-— I don’t care what it is, I just like to get

THE. EXPERTS SAY

By ,MARY FR.'N BURKE Canadian Press Staff Writer

TORONTO (CP) -— In the new year many parents will be en- rolling their children in nursery school for the first time. Prepanin-g a child for such a school is essential, says Mrs. Charles Dempsey, a senior teacher at the‘ Toronto Tiny Tots Nursery School.

“A child should be able to feed himself,’ said Mrs. Dempsey. “Most important, he should be -able to leave his mother without becoming unnecessarily upset. “Our nursery prognam is so or- ganized that children are not con- fused by their new surround- ings.” -

FROM AGE OF TWO g Mrs. A. Carlaw is principal of the school, located in north-cent ral Toronto. Children are taken from the age of two. Programs include a number of routine activities such as nurses inspection, a mid-morning milk break, dinner, nap, indoor and outdoor play. “Our youngsters romp around the outdoors, rid-ing the merry-go- round, sliding, building sand cast- les while others may take a turn at climbing the ‘jungle ‘jim’ bar,” said Mrs. Dempsey. “Indoor ac- tivities include ballet lessons for the girls while the little boys are kept busy with construction sets and playing with trucks." ‘
