TERMS OF REFERENCE

The committee was formed on later st. Laurent that the Senate a recommendation by Prime Min- couid do an effective job in study- in Canada. The prime minister in- ing all the yl blems of land use dicated he is particularly con- cerned about snb - marginal atri- cultural land. The committee's terms of reference make special mention of this. stating that ways to increase agricultural production and farm income should in- cluded in its studies.

In the Senate resolution setting it upu the new body is referred to as the committee on the study of land use in Canada. Senator Power said this did not readily translate into French and he read to the committee a numbe of other name suggestions but said none would translate readily into French. The committee probably would have to be satisfied with a "free translation."

A Former Charlottetown Chef Teaches The New Army Chefs

MONCTON. Feb. -Who's ever heard of "Lobster Newburg" be- ing served in an Army chow-line?

"Old sweats" of two world wars will dismiss such a preposterous idea. their recollections probably running mainly along the lines of beans. dehydrated potatoes, and unidentifiable meat dished out by cooks who were cooks by the force of circumstance only.

Many a former soldier would be dumbfounded by the radically dif- ferent scheme of things in the Can- adian Army of today, but he could not find much to omplaln about. As proof that Army cooking has been raised to high levels, Cann- dian National Railways is co-op- srsiing with the military in a scheme whereby the men who prepare the food for the soldiers are studying their trade under one of Canada's top culinary ex- ports. Chef Edward Gcblstorf'of the big Nova Scotian Hotel in Hall- is

NO COOKS

As a matter of fact, the Army doesn't have cooks any more. These days, it has Chefs, and gone also are the kitchen fatlgues and the weary spud-peeling details). The chef's Job today is consider- ed one of tht finest Army car- cers. with warrant officer rank and good trades pay. Working in ultra - modern spotless kitchens. the chefs put the emphasis on careful preparation of tasty var- ied msnus. and as far as ration. scale. ,calorie count and variety are concerned. the Canadian Ar- my is 'nowledged throughout the world as the top-ranking ser- vice.

(Not that dishes like "Lobster Ncirburg" are found on the cvefy day menus of the mess halls, how- evcu But Army chefs gare compe- tent to prepare it and many other delicacies when occasions demand. when they have completed their, CNR course.) i WORKING WELL l

The idea of bringing the finel points of large-scale hotel cater- ing to armed forces messes was the brain child of Captain John F. Samson, catering officer of the Army's Eastern Command. and it is working out so wdl that Head-

during and after World War Two, is highly entbusastic about the ho- tel course. The men really bene- fit from it. he says. and they are keenly interested, voluntarily wor- king long off-duty hours so they won't miss any aspect of the round the-clock CNR hotel opera- tion.

Chef Gebislorf is also highly pleased with the result of the train- iiii; experiment. and he says the soldiers are exceptionally respon- sive students.

Harold J. Gunning. manager of the Nova 'Scotlan, is a former Ar- my catering officer himself. and takes a personal interest in the progress of the trainees. Mr. Gun- ning has a letter of appreciation to Canadaian National Railways from Major General E. C. Plow, commanding officer of the East- ern Command, in which be com- mends the hotel and especially Chef Gcbistorf for the "interest. patience and understanding" he has shown in training the men. I AT THE CHARIDTTETOWN

Mr. Geblatorf. born in London,' England. of Swiss parents. came to his vocation naturally, for his father was a well-known Euro- pean chef. He came to Canada as a youth. and has worked for 23 years in various hotels of the CNR chain, starting at the Mac- Donald in Edmonton when he was lust 17 years of age.

He has spent about four years at the Nova Scotian. and previous- ly was chef for three years at the Charlottetown in Prince Ed- ward Island. He is acknowledged as one of the countryfs top-rank- inlg-food experts..and his special- is well known in the Mari-

is'sea foods of all kinds. His training in hotels through- out Canada, lncludlng the exclus- ive Jasper Park Lodge in the Rock- ies: has been of immense value to him. Mr. Gebistorf says. He ex- plains that a good chef must gain experience in all areas. because tastes in food vary greatly re- gionally. For instance. visitors to the Msrltlmes are fond of seafood. and visitors to the west tradition- ally demand steaks for which the region is renowned. ' in training Army chefs, Mr. Ge-

quarfers in Ottawa is planning to introduce the scheme at other posts across the country. with the cooperation of other hotels in the Canadian National Railways chain. in the huge kitchen of the Novai Scotian, the soldiers participate, in the operations of all depart- ments. They stndy the workings of the meat cutting room. the piss-' lry shop, the bake shop. cold meat room. roast. sauce and fry cook stations and the t servioli
