4 THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Thursday, February 2, 1961 But, once again, “the experts” of the Department of Highways, for some strange reason always deadly opposed to the protection which the average man believes traffic lights to give, has reversed itself. In place of the life- saving lights a “great white way” has been installed which, beyond any ques- tion, illuminates the crossing brilliantly. But the decision to install these lights -â€" whose cost must'surely have been far greater than that of a traffic light -â€" overlooks two important things. First, that most of the accidents at the corner have occurred in broad daylight. If you feel like giving a medal to a hard worker, pin it on your heart. Did you know that your heart beats more than 100 thousand times a day and 36 million times a year? This vita] organ, no bigger than a man’s fist, can keep up this astonishing record, year in and year out, for a full lifetime as long as it's healthy. Unfortunately, millions of hearts are not healthy â€" theyiare damaged by heart disease. V But there’é hope for these hearts â€"- and all hearts â€"- medical research Markham and Whitchurch town- ship councils and other bodies, cons- cious of the hazards of the intersection, have appealed to the Department of Highways for the protection afforded by traffic lights. The police have given their opinion. From the Magistrate’s court have come observations on the danger. One accident after another -â€" some very serious â€" has shown that the demands for control are well found- ed. An Ontario weekly newspaper â€" the long-established and respected Stouffville Tribune, has campaigned for action. As a result, an announcement was made some time ago that traffic lights would be installed to halt the carnival of injuries and damage. The intersection of No. 48 Highway and the Town Line at Ringwood, a mile west of Stoufl‘ville, has long been one of the most dangerous rural crossroads in the province. High speed traffic, es- pecially in the summer when lake traf- fic is moving at its peak, has made the job of crossing No. 48 a dangerous adventure.

It’s just one more way that electricity lightens your duties, brightens your day.~ Mr. Cass, to put it quite plainly, “passes the buck” when in the final sentence of his letter he says, “The im- provement of our drivers has not kept pace with the improvement of our highways and until such time as im- provements are made in this direction, we will have mounting accident statis- tics.” Yes, and until Mr. Cass and his “experts” use a little common-sense and eliminate, instead of creating, traffic hazards, we shall continue to have what he calls “mounting accident statistics.” Markham and Whitchurch town- ship councils, the police, the magistrate, the general public can’t all be wrong. We suggest again that Mr. Cass go and see for himself. He might, by a wise decision, save the lives that his depart- ment is always urging others to save. The future holds even greater promise for the conquest of heart dis- ease. So, let your heart be your guide when you’re asked to contribute to the Heart Fund, your best defense against the Number One health enemy. Give for the future of every heart you love. Send your gift to your local bank. Heart Fund dollars invested in research have helped to save lives through new drugs, remarkable new surgical tech- niques and improved methods of diag- nosis and care. ‘ Explaining the recent reversal of the decision to install conventional traf- fic signals, Hon. Fred Cass, Ontario Minister of Highways, said in a recent letter that he does not have a personal knowledge of conditions at this inter- section. He can, of course, hardly be expected to have a knowledge of every intersection in the province. He has to rely on his “experts”. But it is only a few miles from Queen’s Park to the junction of No. 48 and the Town Line. The short time spent in making a trip to that point and crossing the danger zone a few times might lead Mr. Cass to reverse the obstinate and unrealistic decisions which his experts are foisting on him. You get more out of lifeâ€"when you get the most out of electricity. MAKE ELECTRICITY WORK FOR YOU Second, that the new lights do not give east-west traffic an opportunity, any more than before, to make a safe pass- age across No. 48 highway.

In olden times in England it was the custom to draw lots for lovers on this day. The person drawn became the Valentine of the drawer and received a gift, which was often a pair of gloves. -'â€"-how many home-made Val- entines have shown these words. The little boy or girl who has just learned to block print let- ters will take real pride in neatly copying a quotation like this. The older youngster might en- joy composing original short rh- yme or a remark especially suit. able for the picture on the valen- tine. A post box, made by cover- ing with red crepe paper a shoe box or carton, with a slit in the top for envelopes, is popul- ar at school and can add to the fun at home.

One of the deep- est cravings of everyone is to know affection. Sir Edwin Ar- nold reminded his readers: “Not a face below the sun A red heart pasted on a slight- ly larger white heart gives a Valentine a smart border. A pa- per lace edging made from a dolly for a plate is even more ornate. This can be pasted on the back, with small pleats, mak- ing a frilly edge, or on a large Valentine, a stapler could be used to fasten the paper lace edging. “Roses are red, violets are blue, Honey is sweet â€"â€" and so are But is preciousâ€"unto one! Not an eye, however dull, But se‘ems, somewhere, beaut- iful." Thus Valentines, which we re- ceive at a time in the year when the Winter with its cold and snow may seem endless, serve a real purpose . . . they warm our hearts and make us smile. Cele- brations in the home strengthen the family bond and give children happy memories. Making invitations and place cards for the table is great fun. White and red cardboard and red-lead pencils or crayons. blunt pointed scissors and paste are needed. Pretty colored pictures can be found in old magazines and the weekend picture section of daily newspapers, and old seed catalogues are useful with their gay pictures of flowers. If you ask the merchant from whom you buy paint and wallpaper, if he could give you an out-of-date sample book, he will likely ob- lige. This is a wonderful .play material book for Valentines and other handcraft. Boys and girls of all ages love February 14th.

MACHINERY WILLIAMS . . . by Nancy Cleaver Maple. Ont. It proves too that this universal pastime of ex- changing recipes somehow establishes a foundation for friendship. Perhaps many an International problem would lose its sting, if a group of women were discuss- ing it over the Conference Table. Because sooner or later, the gals would get around to exchanging recipes. One of my most delightful contacts came about by chance. I read a small acount in the paper that ‘the Winning Seafood Menu at a great Food Festival, called ‘Kitchen and Cellar Week’, in Dublin, Ireland, had been won by a young nun, Sister Mary Lawrence of Seamount College, County Galway. I wrote to Sister Mary Lawrence, and from that letter has developed a fine bond between my unknown friend in Galway Bay and myself. She so generously sent me her recipes . . . her idea on how to cook Sea- food, and a copy of the actual program of the ‘Kitchen and Cellar Week’, which makes fascinating- reading. The Irish people established this country-wide com- petition to improve the quality of food native to Ireland, because they believed that the core of the tourist trade is Good Food. Sound advice for any country who values its tourist business. But if the New President’s eating habits become as popular as his First Lady’s clothes, I want to “go down the ways” with chowders â€"- and I think I know where there is a lovely old Ironstone Soup Tureen! With the sheer excellence of her recipes and choice of food, she had outclassed even the top professional contestants, and had walked away with the Cash Award, and the Silver Challenge Cup. Here are three quite different versions of Chow- ders. You may find them as delicious as I. Perhaps they will be charmed because this is February, ruled by the old zodiac sign, Pisces, the Fish, and governed by Nepa tune, King of the Sea. The first recipe comes from Mr. Nelson Dean of Richmond“ Hill, whose boyhood was spent in Nova. Scotia, and was found in a book of his mother’s, con- taining the old tried-and-true recipes of the Ladies’ Auxiliary of Yarmouth, and from that rocky coast abounding in fish, comes the simple Basic Chowder, that the wrists say is the “Only One . . . The One and Only One”. 6 medium potatoes 11/2pts. light cream 1 onion 1/4, lb. butter 1 fresh fish (or frozen) Salt and coarsely ground without skin black pepper Simmer fish and thickly sliced potatoes and onion in a small amount of water. Add butter, cream, salt and pepper. Let simmer but Never Boil! _ > 1 oz. butter 1% pts. fish stock white fish Maybe one of these cold nights, a great tureen of Steaming Seafood Chowder would just hit the spot! Being born and bred a ‘land-lubber’, I have no heri- tage of recipes from the Sea. I cannot fall back on my grandmother’s teaching. But I have been given such enthusiastic help from my Maritime friends, that I be- lieve I could compile a book on Chowders alone, ranging all the way from Mrs. Murphy’s to the delicate pure milk chowder that the Bluenose insists is the only truly au- thentic product. white fish (shrimp can be used) (fresh or frozen) 2 egg yolks 1 pt. milk salt and pepper Melt butter, add curry powder. Pour in stock and stir until it boils. Simmer for 20 minutes. Strain liquid into another pan. Beat egg yolks and mix with milk. Add to the soup. Stir over heat until eggs are cooked. Do not boil. Season to taste. Shell the prawns and dice the cook- ed fish. Put into a soup tureen and pour hot soup over. Serve with fried croutons of bread. Klthough dietitians are not quite agreed that a Piscatorial Diet can make a man a potential genius . . . It is Food for Thought. And on the New Frontier may appear the simplicity of One Dish Meals, thoughtfully and beautifully cooked, graciously served, and enjoyed by all. - Serve steaming hot, in soup plates. Followed by thick apple pie and cheddar cheese and lots of coffee . . what could make a better Saturday night supper? From romantic Galway Bay on the West Coast of Ireland, comes one of Sister Margaret Lawrence’s win- ning recipes . . . a form of chowder, with a slightly different flavoring. From the Famous Restaurant of Antoine, in New Orleans, comes this delightful seafood dish. A sort of Bouillabaislse, the sophisticated sister of the homey New England Chowder. All this may restore the theory that Fish really is Brain Food, for this brilliant young man is supposed to devour great quantities of the New England Specialty . . . and for the next decade, mothers will be hopefully telling their sons, “Now eat up your Chowder, and you may grow up toAbe_P_resident.” Because I have decided to confine myself to the enticing world of chowders, I have had to pass up the mouth-watering Kedgerees, suggested for Sunday morn- ing breakfasts. These are truly Gifts of the Seas . . . but as Kipling says, “That is another story”. President Kennedy has made it clear that he es- chews the banquet type meal, and will not clutter the culinary scene with too many fancy vittles. He tops his list of favorite foods with ordinary Fish Chowder. (The Chowder Enthusiasts answer that No Good Chowder can be ordinary!) NEW ORLEANS CHOWDER Use the cooked meat of any fish and add any mix- ture of shellfish â€" prawns, shrimp, oyster or lobster. Fry several pieces of bacon until crisp, remove from pan and add chopped onion and cook until soft. Add diced celery, diced raw potatoes, bay leaf and water to cover. Simmer. When potatoes are almost done, thicken with flour and add about a quart of hot milk and heat (I avoid the unforgiveable sin of boiling a chowder by using a double boiler); Add the various kinds of fish and any variety of herbs, especially'rosemary and basil. After the excitement of the Inauguration wanes â€"- after the sound of the speeches and the talk of the gowns becomes an echo, little nuances of the personal- ity of a new Leader begin to ingrain themselves on the people of the country, and establish a sort of vogue. Befoi‘e seriiing, sprifikle with crisp bacon, freshly chopped parsley, chives and tarragon. Toward the end of theicrooking add half a cup of sherry. This recipe was given to me without quantities, but I have found that you can increase or decrease its quantity depending on the ingredients you have on hand. They suggest serving this in a huge French earthen pot . . . along with thick slices of crusty French Bread on a wooden board. It is truly ‘party fare.’ zberaliliej . . .
