Thursday, April 6th, 1950 Le] & * THE OAKVILLE RECORD-STAR Page Seventeen Ideas And Entertainment For The Whole FAMILY GATHERING Ideas And Entertainment For The Whole Family Family Easy Easter Dinner Too often holidays or special occasions are an endless chain of meal-planning, preparation and clearing up for the hostess. It’s fun and it’s wonderful to have a houseful of guests, serve them a feast and dispense hospitality with=e lavish hand. But it can be awfully wearing on the key woman who’s responsible for the dinner. This year, how about the simp- lest possible Easter dinner — yet one that makes enough “show” so that it seems festive? Then if you're holding down to only the family, you can really take it easy while giving them the little extra pomp that families seem to take for granted come a special day. Here's our menu: Easy Tomato Bisque Baked Ham Slice de Luxe Spoon Bread Green Spring Cabbage Ice Cream With Golden Velvet . Sauce Beverage We suggest that you buy half a ham and then have your meat dealer slice off one or two slices from it. The rest of the ham will keep for a week, uncooked, and the family won't get weary of eating up a whole half in the space of a few days. The bisque should be prepared the day before. So should the Gol- @ DAILY SERVICE TO ALL CANADIAN AND U.S_A.

Here's how the bisque is. pre- pared: Easy Tomato Bisque 1 can tomato soup 1 small onion, minced 1 bay leaf 2 cans madrilene or consomme Salt, pepper, dash of cayenne 4 tablespoons chopped chives 1 teaspoon minced parsley 1 cup heavy cream Heat tomato soup with onion and bay leaf. Let simmer for 10 minutes. Strain and add all other. ingredients. Chill overnight in ice- box. It's advisable to stir occas- ionally at first to blend thor- oughly. Pour into cups and sprink- le with more chopped chives. (If you have no chives, chop the green tops of young onions very fine — but use a spoonful or so less, be- cause they're more “onion-y” than the delicate chives). We like to spread a good inch or inch and one-quarter slice of tenderized ham with currant jel- ly to which you've added two tea- spoonfuls of prepared horse rad- ish. Or sprinkle brown sugar mixed with a little dry mustard over the top of the slice. To keep the ham from getting dry, add a half cup- ful of sherry or pineapple juice or any leftover canned fruit juice. Then bake slowly at 350° an hour and one-half, or until beautifully browned and glossy. Instead of Potatoes During the last three-quarters of Phone 600 an hour of baking the ham, bake : 40706 PHONE 640 some ‘good old Southern spoon bread. It’s a pleasant change from potatoes or noodles and its lovely golden color seems most appropri- ate for an Easter dinner. Spoon Bread 2 cups milk 2 cup golden corn meal 1 teaspoon salt. % teaspoon baking powder 2 tablespoons melted butter or shortening 2 eggs separated Scald milk and stir in corn meal gradually. Cook in double boiler until thickened like mush. Cool Slightly; add salt, baking powder, beaten egg yolks, and shortening. Fold in stiffly beaten whites. Turn into greased baking dish. Bake at 350° until firm (30 to 45 minutes). Spoon out on dinner plate, along side the ham. A little extra butter may be dotted on the bread after serving. 1 n Cabbage Trick The young green cabbages in the market now are inexpensive and a truly spring-like vegetable when they are cooked just so! Shred the cabbage, not so fine as for cole slaw, let stand in cold water for an hour or so. Drain and pour over it enough boiling water to come up to the cabbage level. Add a teaspoonful of salt. Leave un- covered and turn the gas up high. Let it cook quickly — and not for more than 6 or 7 minutes. You don't want to cook away the young taste. Just cook until it’s tender en- ough to suit you. Drain thoroughly. Season with more salt, pepper and let a good hunk of butter melt its golden way down through. There's a vegetable, we say — try it! Golden Velvet Sauce You can call it plain butter- scotch, but-we think it better by far than that. It’s the smoothest, most delicious sauce of this type we've ever run across, and it can be kept for a week or ten days in the icebox. Make it, as we sug- gested the day or two days before. Then spoon it out over the ice cream at serving time. 1% cups brown sugar 44 cup corn syrup 3 tablespoons butter or mars- arine ‘2 pint thin cream ‘2 teaspoon salt 4 teaspoon vanilla Mix all ingredients except van- illa and cook as for candy until softball stage is reached.

Their published reports began to stress the desirability of treating the When it was found that psycho- therapy was valuable in the fore- going conditions, psychiatrists be- gan to apply the method to the severer group known as the psy- choses, It soon became evident that the results were far less effective, particularly when the method was applied during the pronounced phase of the illness. Treatment given in the interval between attacks of mental ab- normality or, better still, in the very beginning phase of the ill- patient at the first appearance of his symptoms, for then the results are more promising. Out of these researches came a clearer knowledge of the types of individuals who conceivably might fall ill of a mental disorder. Today psychiatrists are able to foretell with some measure of ac- ness, accomplished results. For groups as a whole, there- fore, psychotherapy achieves its best results among those who are temperamentally unbalanced, namely, character neurotics. It’s value next extends to psychoneur- otic individuals and lastly to those who have psychoses.
