Minutes " ‘LET'S EAT’ Prepare Ma “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 cooked and frozen in advance, there is always something on next cooking of a basic food, a double or triple quantity is made, frozen ‘food futures’ are always available.” . “Among the entrees I like to freeze, Madame, are shrimp curry and fishburgers; oxtail ra- gout and vegetable - beef balls, chic ken cacciatore, Mexican chicken, and casserole of lamb. 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 _ to three weeks, Chef. “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.” All measurements are level.

A sign of mental health is 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 lliotiswomondfiwfmnoiofl out and rush from store to store.

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." ‘ Even -the two—year-olds take )art in -the ballet lessons, she ad- ded. They wear soft ballet' shoes and sing l. irsery rhymes with their movements. The older chil- dren are also taught some bar work. Tots are first taught to make paper cut-outs, paste and color. They are also shown one-finger painting and by the time they reach four they can work with the whole hand. , Music time is a big event each day and all youngsters love to take part. Actions sons are -stressed and children are taught dancing movements to accomp- any the songs. Also a daily event is the aft- ernoon nap. The routine is us- Point d'Alencou lace is a noted product of the old town of Alen- con in France ' l ually so planned to encourage sleep. A child is taught to lie Preparing Child For Nursery School. Important having a nap, Mrs. Dempsey said. Mrs. Dempsey urges parents to bring their children to nursery school for a few visits prior to the first day. She also suggests during the first week -that parents call for the children early. This makes a child realize that school is not taking him away from his mother and his home. If children get the “second week blues’ pay no attention, she said. This often occurs even after a happy first week at nursery ‘school when children suddenly de- cide they’ve had enough. They are soon diverted and forget their distress and inside of a day or two are back into the swing bf‘ nursery school life. KELLYS CROSS W.I. The members of this Institute met at the home of Mrs. Sterling Waddell for their- December meeting. There was a good at- tendance of both visitors and members.

My husband 111511 tells me to let them think as they please, as he plans to continue. George's take - home pay at present is $_87 a week; and he can go no higher in this type of work. (I am capable of realizing, of ourse, that there are people who can’t be_satisfied no mat- ter how much money they are But is it wrong of my husband to -have a college education in nu- clear physics? Or as my in-laws seem to think, is education on the way- out? - B.R. MENTALLY DEAD Dear B.R.: By their resistant attitude towards higher education, especially iii the field of nuclear physics, your in-laws show that they are mentally obsolete. Or, as the popular phrase puts it-—- “dead and don’t know it.” ~ But perhapsithere has been a new birth in their thinking since the end of October). Even the man: in the street is becoming word of those Sputniks-in-the-sky. As a nationally known educator remarked in a TV interview about that time: “The scientists, the in- tellectuals, are beginning to take on _.a little more sex appeal in thelpublic estimate, now that Rus sia has gone ahead of us into outer space.” How absurd to ask—is~ it wrong of your husband to struggle ‘for a college education in the field of nuclear physics. Of course it’s not wrong. His vision, ambition and effort along this line mark him as a man of commendable foresight. , He is in step with the best minds of his time; in the front ranks of those who are prepar- ing to step off into outer space, to explore the next rooms in God’s' universe. wonns or -porn As long ago as September, 1956, Pius XII, speaking to delegates to the Seventh International As- tronautical Congress in Rome had this to say: « The Lord God, who put in the heart of man an insatiable de- sire for knowledge, had no in- tentio of setting bounds to man's effort to conquest when he com- manded man to subdue the earth. -It was all creation that he of- fered and confided to the human spirit,. that it might, penetrate this creation and thus grow ever in understanding of the great-‘ ness, of its Creator. “Manghas hitherto felt himself bound to the earth and forced to be content with the fragmentary information that came through from the outside universe. How- ever, it now seems that man is offered the possibility of break- ing the banier, and reaching for new truths and richer knowledge which God has plentifully scat- tered throughout the cosmos ...” MAKES A PROPHESY Now, more than a year later, morning newspapers of Novem- ber 26 quote Dr. Edward Teller-— famed as father of the hydrogen bomb—as testifying before Con- gress: “I am certain that peo- ple will go to themoon and get to the planets. There is no doubt of that in my mind.” He says we are looking out in- to space, from the earth, in just a few wave lengths. But, when we get to the moon, to use it as a platform, he foresees that we ,will be looking at the universe “over the whole spectrum” of wave - lengths——to learn things both amusing and amazing about creation. 5 , ' ~ Exciting new reaches of the mind, don’t you think?
