'Work smarter, not harder' say Gourmets in new book (corgian thas Gourmel days ahead. "Pick a quiet time when there will be a minimum of interruption...have all your favourite cookbooks and cookery magazines piled around you...establish priorities and goals.' And make lists. Included in the book are 20 two- paged party planners with spaces to list every detail necessary to guarantee a relaxed hostess and a party that runs smoothly and delightfully. Beside each space in the guest list column there is a space headed "considerations". Does Mary have an allergy to mushrooms? Does Harold weep uncontrollably in the presence of a live ashtray? This the place to mark down such details. Menu listings are invited under the traditional headings of hors d'oeuvre, appetizer, soup, entree, salad and dessert. Beside each there's a space for the recipe's source which saves greasy-fingered searches through clipping files as party time draws near. Also included in the planner is a place to list - in Windsor man no. 59 for year 'Organizing is what you do before youdo something..." helpful hints, and twenty blank (and inviting) planning pages is the second Georgian Bay Gourmet publication. Their first, Winter Enter- taining is now in its third printing. The planner was introduced at a_ recent Canadian Booksellers Association convention in Vancouver, and several American publishers clamoured for the rights to the publication. The Gourmets declined. "We would rather keep control of the book ourselves," says Jean Leavens. "Anyway, part of the fun is being in our own company..the Georgian Bay Gourmets." In October the women will take part in a promotion tour of major cities in Western Canada as well as book shows in London and Ottawa. The five Georgian Bay Gourmets are now working on their third book -- Summer Enter- taining. Included will be chapters on June wed- dings and family reunions, pickling and preser- ving, picnicking afloat and barbecuing on the Gregory Coleman, 21, of Windsor, was the 59th person to be charged by Midland town police with impaired driving this year. The charge stems following an _ early Sunday morning ac- cident after a car eastbound on Vinden Street left the pavement, struck a town sign, then a light pole, and came to rest on Ninth Street. In all of 1980, only 52 drivers were charged by Midland town police with impaired driving. by Shirley Whittington Planning a party involves alot of list making - as one makes notes of guests' names, of needed groceries and potables, of things to do and when they must be done. Since these lists are usually compiled separately on the backs of old envelopes and other bits and scraps of paper, coordinating the lists successfully may mean the difference between a harried hostess and a happy one. Midland's Georgian Bay Gourmets have come up with a complete planning guide. Their newest publication Smart Entertaining takes most of the wrinkles out of party giving. For, as is noted on the back cover of the book, "Organizing is what you do before you do something so that when you do it it's not all mixed up."' Thus said A.A. Milne's Christopher Robin, and thus say Anne Parker, Anne Connell, Helen DeCarli, Mary Hunt and Jean Leavens, the Georgian Bay Gourmets.

The hostess is also encouraged to organize a countdown in a specially provided space. This timetable begins in the morning ("cut and section grapefruit" says the sample page) and continues right through to "relax in hot tub and get ready"' from 4:00 to 6:00 and "make gravy" at 8:40. The inclusion of a space for "When the party's over' comments suggests that the planner might serve as an interesting social diary ("party broke up at 4:00") as well as a record of what your friends like to eat and drink and how many times you have served Mexican Chicken with Fruits in the past year. Because the planner lies flat, it can be left open for easy reference on a desk of kitchen counter. Once all the initial organizing steps are followed, a hostess can then spend pre-dinner time with her guests with only occasional forays into the kitchen to consult her timetable.
