To bake vegetables: It is not always necessary to leave them whole in the skin. Far instance, scrub potatoes, cut.in half and place cut side down in an open baking dish. 2. To steam vegetables in the oven: Place peeled firm vegetables in a pan. Salt to taste. Add not more than 4 or 5 thsps. of water. Cover, If your oven dish has no cover to fit, tie cookery parchment on with a string. This will keep the steam in, 3. To baked desserts with an oven meal: These should be placed on the upper rack and only covered if they contain a small amount of liquid. 4. To obtain even brownness of baked foods: The pans must never touch each other or the sides of the oven. Arrange them on the racks so that they do not sit directly over one another. i I THE QUESTION BOX Mrs. J. R. asks: How can I sub- N stitute maple syrup for sugar in a ,' butter cake?

A girl or boy really needs a line of chatter--or the beginning of one-- to be popular. Boy-girl talk is mostly a matter of practice, There's a trick to it, | because you have to have an an- | swer ready, but it shouldn't be the | same one every time and it shouldn't sound sarcastic. So rule number one | is "Mix a smile with your conversa- | tion." | It begins with a friendly, "Hi, Bill!" People like attention and they all like to be called by name. After that greeting, have a remark | ready, because silence is awkward, | instead of "golden," unless two peo- | ple know each other well. Maybe it's | a nice afternoon for a Zulu or a| grand morning for a fish. If it's an | after-school meeting, you might | say, "I'm waiting for a truck to take my books home." That might lead to talk about classes or as- signments. , .and that will help you | get better acquainted. i When you're trying to start some | chatter, avoid questions that take | a yes or no answer. Instead, ask for | an opinion, perhaps on sports, a | game, courses or something you're | both interested in. Tell a funny incident that hap- | pened in class. Get yourself some | stock answers to get you out of | What to do when he speaks : tight spots when you can't think of | --dating fun. ERE ey Ng Ve | | | | | anything else to say: "That's a good | question" or "I don't know, but I| wish I did." Is there a subject you really en- joy discussing? Whether its basket ball or your summer job, talk about | it when the moment seems right | and tell humorous sidelights. If your partner is interested, you're all set. | If not, switch the conversation un- | til you strike a topic you can both | discuss. Listen as well as talk, and you'll find you're really having fun Canadian Designers Breaking Free From New York and Paris Styles By W. R. WHEATLEY Canadian Press Staff Writer Montreal -- (CP) -- Canadian women are fast becoming the best dressed in the world because Cana- dian designers and manufacturers have smartened up with a refresh- ing independence. Sam Farber, of the junior execu- tive division, Montreal Dress Man- ufacturers' Guild, boldly called the turn today, with arguments to back it up. There is no attempt to interfere with general trends in style, said Farber, but the day of slavishly following every line, gadget and whim of New York and Paris is ended. Paris styles run to extremes. New York, admittedly the world centre of the garment.making in- dustry, offers a wide choice, with doo-dads and nifty trimmings tossed in. Right there is where the Canadian manufacturer steps in. "We are improving on their own ideas," beamed Farber, himself one of Montreal's leading manufactur- ers. "We may be limited just now in range of materials for those little extras, but we are getting there. "Los Angeles and St. Louis have already broken free of the New York-or-nothing tradition. So have we. "What's more, Canadian gar. ments by any comparison show bet- ter-quality goods and better work- manship and finishing than you will find in American-made prod. ucts. If that isn't so, why do American tourists year after year avidly grab up Canadian-made garments? "We have the know-how here in Canada. Our workers and design- ers rank with the jes'. We know our people and our markets. What's to stop us?" In at least one lina--skiing ap. parel--Canada's styles have con- founded the American manufac- | turers and already are making | heavy in the American market. inroads The entire ski-clothes output of | one Canadian manufacturer goes | to New York, and others are step- ping up their output for the Amer. ! ican market.
