Virgin, a Statesman ex-staffer, visited ouri Office while gathering material fer an article in the publication lio edits, entitled Restaurants and'*Institutions. It is an Agel Publication, calling itself the magazine cf Mass Feoding and Housing. Editor Virgin is a son cf Mins. Virgin and Albeint R., formerly Superintendent cf the Ontaria Training School home. His article, on our eating out places and headed by comment from the editorial column, "Virg- in'a Corner", foliows: Real Cool Gravy IPopped down to Bow- Inanvîlle, Ontario, a f ew weeks baek (that's the town that's trying te forget that 1 grew up there) and ambledl in and out cf the food serv- ice spots. One littie item 1 picked up concerned gravy storage. Seemns that Geint and Herb Woolley at the Balmoral Hotel have the problem solved. They freeze gravy made ahead cf time in Seal-Rite containers - gaves tîme and waste and Man ls It good. Thanks for thse idea folks. --John R. Virgin 1 What is public food service like in the average small com- munity? The customers, in gen- oral, are they satisfied or dis- satisfied with their local food service establishments? What are those establishments doing te pîease their guests and get more business? Recently, Restaurants and In- stitutions wont ta a typical small urban centor and asked questions. We taiked ta the man-in-the-street, the mer- chant, the local newspaper peo- pie, the housewife, the local Chamber of Commerce and the food service operator. The scene was the bustling town cf Bowmanville, Ontario, seme 50 miles east cf Toronto on the Montreal-Tomonto high- way. Bowmanville is a typical small urban center with a pop- ulation cf some 6,600-increas- ing annualiy by about 300. Un- affected by any influx cf large industmy in post-war years, it grows naturally and steadily. Until recent years, Bowman- ville's main street was the busy Montreal ta Toronto highway. Now, super Highway 401 cuts acmoss the town's south end and tourist traffic passes by the business section. Loss of Time Insurance If a mnan bas an income, probably he can look after the reasonable neçds of his family and buy insurance to take care of the possibility of disaster. But what if. he loses bis income? One dis.serh should be insured against is accident or sickness which could cut off bis income. CIA offers loss of time insurance as part of an accident and sickness policy. For details see your CIA representative: HOWARD FOLEY King St. W., Bowmanville Phone MA 3-3277 JAMES BARNES .Newcastle Association M Il The town's, biggest Industry is the Goodyear Tire & Ruibberi Company's plant which employs some 600 people. The generai Motor's huge plant in the near- by city of Oshawa gives em- ployment to another 700. Other local enterprises provide em- ployment for the remaining workers. No Shortage of Dining Spots Bowmanvile is woll-endow- od with dining spots. There are four restaurants and a hotel in the town itself, ail on the main street. A new reStaurant-dining room, part of an ultra-modern motel, is located at the 401 turnoff. Ail, with the excep- tion of the motel foeding out- let, have been in business for a number of years. The town, undor local opera-1 tion is dry. Those in search of more serious beverages either stay at home or journey te noighboring 'wet" conters. But now lot us examine these feed- ing establishments, as they are operating in Bowmanviile. To begin with, one of theso four restaurants has no proper place in this survey. It is an os- tablishment in which. the restau- rant is secondary te the main business, carried on by the bakeshop occupying the front section of the store, It enjoys a certain local renown for the quality of its meals. But its subsidiary charactor would seomn te place it outside the range of a survey of establishments which exist sololy for public food service. Modemnization 0f Dinint Rooms General That service is best represen- ted by the other three restau- rants on the same streot. They have 52, 70 and 62 soats, with a staff of 9, 8 and 6 rospoctively. They are ail air-conditione 'd, with booth and counter service. The 52-seat restaurant was re- decorated in 1956, at unstated cost. The 70-seat restaurants dining room was enlarged in 1948, and entirely renovated in 1956 at a cost of $16,000. And the 62-seat restaurant was re- decorated as recently as last Tes, t 15 easy te maire successfut la ld»oirU 1I'tee-ave, y time -, wb~hYeu reIy on Crte Why CERTO gives yeu failure-preef ian Ceite is natural fruit pectin.

Contest Whiie the folks cf Iroland may still be engaged in the "Search' for Bridey Murphy" îintorested dairymen in the counties and districts across Ontario are searching for a Dairy Princess, te represent them in the "Dairy, Queen Competition" bemng held again at the Canadian National Exhibition. The competition was started last year by the C.N.E., the' Ontario Department of Agricul- ture, the Tarante Telegram, thei Dairy Cattle Breeders Associa- tion, the Wrhoie Milk Producers League and the Ontario Milk Distributors Association. and was designed to promote con- sumer interest ini dairying and preducer interost in u p-ta-date* milking procedures. This year's 'show is sponsoreci by the Ontaria Milk Producers Co-ordinating Board. Each night for the first 11 nights cf the C.N.E. folks may watch the cempetitian being held. In ail, 40 Dairy Princess milkmaids from ail parts cf Ontario will compote. Every night five cows, one each cf the five dairy breeds, Ayrshire, Guernsey, Holstein, Jersey and milking Shorthorns are machine milked by five contestants. To accommodate the huge crowds that assemble the competition is held in the Coliseumn where special portable equipment is provided te tie and milk the cows and washing equipment ta carry out proper milking, wash- ing and sterilizing procedures. Contestants are not ordinarv folk either, for each cf themn will be a "Dairv Princess" represent- ing hem ceunty or district. Each "Daimy Princess" who wili comn- pote at the C.N.E. for the titie "Dairy Queen" will have been aelected by a ceunty cempe- titions commnittee and as such wiil represent the best milkmaid in hein eounty in the age greup 16-29. Winners for the day will com- pote in finalist cempetition un- til from among the 40 "Daîry Princesses" there wiil be chosen a 'Dairy Que.n" of Ontarie.

The dining roonis are clean and attractive, without any at- tempt to introduce' a note of modernity or originality inu their decorative schemes. In only one of themn are the wash- roomn facilities unsatisfactory and of questiorlable cloanliness. Ini goneral, the oporators seexr ta agroe that any increase un business must await a growtn in local population. Thoy look~ to the future with confidence, which is flot to say that they are entirely content with the volume of business they are now doing. Like these restaurants, the hotel has lost business sinco the opening of Highway 401, Traf- flic naw bypasses the main sec- tion of the town. The hotel is maintained in excellent condi- tion, has 25 guest rooms and a pleasant dining room seating 24. The Rotary Club and other service clubs t.estify ta the gaod food and excellent coffee served by the enterprising ownors of this excellontly organized ha- tel. Its kitchen is old-fashioned, perhaps, in its layout but spot- lessly dlean and, unlike the res- taurants, contains some mod- ern equipment. Food Good But.To.' Plain It was in the restaurants par- ticularly that the survey revoal- led what may woll le a weak- ness in ovorail organization. Moals are nat morchandised. Thore appear, to be no del;- cious spocialities, artfully con- cocted and prominently advor- tised ta attract passers-by. The meal prices, with one passible exception, are extremely lpw. Cooking is done on a coal stove. Dishwashing and food prepar- ation are done by hand: one restaurant has a slicer but, ex- cept at one soda fountain, ma- chines are. net used. The food is good and plain: much too plain, it wauld seem, and without that touch cf imagina- tion, those little garnishings which so strongiy appeal toeoye and palate. And the menus are far too long, comprehensîve in their variety rather than tasto- fully selected in order to con- centrate in themn a special daily appeal to those who may well weary cf home-cooking. Menus To. Long-No Speolal- ization This need for the merchan- dising of speciaitios, both ini meals and in tasty desserts, is -ail the more important where the housewife constitutes these restaurants' most powerful cem- petition. It is the careful selec- tien and tasty preparatien cf spocial meals which gives res- taurants the best possible chance te compote with busy heuse- wives who frequentiy have at their disposai neither the van- iety of foods fier the practised skil of the restaurant. As it is, however, in an attempt to be ail things te al customers, mas- sive menus make no attempt te guide the custemoer in his indi- vidual choice of something now and different, something spe- cially prepared for his personal enjyment. It is important, cf course, te satisfy regular customers. These restaurants ahl reported that lunch was their -busiest heur. Increasod business, hewevor, at ail hours cf the day, must come frrm new customers. It is only by actively and imaginatively mnerchandising specially propar- ed meals, and out-of-the-ordin- ary taste treats of ail kinds, that the habituai devourers of riome-cooking will recognize the pleasures and advantag os awaiting them in their hoe- town eating places. Onily thon doos business grow, even before the local population has grawn with the lapse of yoars. il Memorial Hospital 1Weekly Report For the week of Aug. 12-18: Admissions - 32 Births, 2 maie, 8 female - 10 Dischargos -50 Major operations 6 Minor oporations 7 Emergency treatments 21 Visiting hours 2.30 te 4.30 p.m. and 7 ta 8.30 p.m. Hills, Mrn. and Mina.

MORRISH 1 The rogular Sunday service was hold at 10 a.m. on August l8th. Thero was an average congregation present. In the absence cf the Rev. A. W. Hard- ing the service was conducted by Min. Fred Hemstead of Co- bourg. Holidays are stili keep- ing many away, inciuding mem- bers cf aur Junior Choir. Miss jJoan Marvin kindly filled in as soloist in the beautiful sacred sang 'Alone", accompanied on piano by Mins. Helen McHolm. This was much appreciated. Mr. Homstead gave a very earnest discaurse upon "The Ships cf Life". We too may plan a straight course for aur ships - somowhere we go astray in aur ambition we turn from side ta side. There are tao many cross-ways, but if we strive for a straight course, practico the Golden Rule and go forward we bring our ship safe into port. A Christian home is the starting point; this is where good char- actors are formed. The Church strengthens to fanm a good com- munity and good communities mako for a good nation and bot- ter world. We were pleased to have Min. Homstead in his capacity as lay preachor. It is 17 years sinco ho visited aur church for the same purpose. We trust it will net be too long until we wel- come him again as guegt preach- or. Sunday School was held at Il a.m. and attendance was again below average. Hoiidays are not ever yet. There wore 40 prosont Two birthdays were honored. School was conducted by the Superintendent, Mins. Fred McConneli. Prayers wero read by Elaine Anderson. Sunday School as usual noxt week.

Tomate picking is general on mast farms, gardens are drying up for lack cf ramn; only those pesky weLeds are fiourishing s0 tho hoe must be kept going, ac- campanied by the usual grumb- lings, backaches and blisters and sad' te say Summer is on the wane.
