The meeting starts at 2 p.m. Some of the direct victims of this country's shaky economy are the unemployed workers.

They not only need the assistance of govern- ment to survive their period of unemployment but to see to it that the economy is stimulat- ed in such a way that job opportunities become available again. There are some in our community who would take punitive action against those unemployed who find they The Durham Region Stroke Recovery Association will meet on Tuesday, January 30th at seven o'clock p.m., at the Extendicare, 82 Park Road North, Oshawa.

Ingredients are measured the same way. Only the size has changed. The important thing to remember, say the foods and nutrition specialists of the Home Economics Branch, Ontario Ministry of Agricul- ture and Food is to use metric measures with metric recipes but continue to use cups and tablespoons when making your old favorite recipes. The quantities listed in metric recipes may look a little strange at first. Once you realize the metric system is based on the decimal (just like the Canadian dollar) rather than fractions, life is a lot simpler. There are only six common metric units used in cooking. The basic unit is the litre (L) which indicates volume, as in a litre of milk. The millilitre (mL) is used to indicate the amount for most liquid and dry ingredients. The litre is 1000 times larger than the millitre. The gram (g) is the unit used for mass. It is similar, but not identical, to weight. Your metric recipe may call for 500 g of round steak, for instance. Because one kilo- gram (kg) is the same as 1000 g, larger quantities are writ- ten as kilograms. Oven teraperatures, like all temperatures in Canada, are in degree Celsius (degree C). The familiar 350 Degree F oven is now known as 180 degrees C. For measuring the size of a cookie, the centi- metre (cm) is used. Because symbols and not abbreviations are used in the metric system, no periods are used after the symbol. There is no need to throw out your time-tested favorite recipes, measuring cups or baking pans. When you decide to purchase metric utensils, be sure to buy the metric measures based on rounded multiples of the litre (25o mL, 125mL, 50mL, 25mL, 15mL, 2 mL, 1 mL) which conform to the Canadian Standard. Avoid getting stuck with utensils that are the direct conversions of the Imperial ounce. Recipes will be based on 250 mL and not 227 mL, which is the direct conversion for one cup. The first meeting of the year of the Bowinanvilfe Senior Citizens' Club began with a well attended pot-luck supper. This was followed by a short business meeting, conducted by the President, Mrs. Norman Dickinson. Mrs. I. R. Ashworth was pianist for the evening. Before and after the meeting, membership fees PM Replies1 The Prime Minister of Canada has told the Bowman- ville Chamber of Commerce that the conversion of the Post Office into a Crown Corpora- tion will provide a "new start" for labor and management. In a letter to the Chamb'er, Pierre Elliott Trudeau said "In the months to come, Post Office management and union officials will engage in serlous discussions about the conver- sion of Canada Post from a government department to a Crown Corporation. "This conversion has long been sought by postal employees and their respec- tive unions and we are confident that it will provide management and labor with a new start," Mr. Trudeau said. The Prime Minister was replying to a telegram sent to his office by the Bowmanville Chamber of Commerce. In the were paid. The annual fee of $1.50 is now due and may be paid to the treasurer, Miss Lillian Smith. All men and women, fifty-five years of age and over are welcome as members. After a general sing-song, Mrs. Allanah Cole was intro- duced by Mrs. Cawker. She is well-known in town as a To Telegram communique sent during the December postal strike, the Chamber expressed their con- cerns over interrupted postal service. "As well as a public inconvenience," stated Chamber of President Charles Clarke, "there are local busi- nesses that could not survive another immediate halt to the postal service." The Prime Minister's reply was received by the Chamber late last month. t>, ~IYOosLiv popular entertainer and her clear enunciation and her choice of songs add to her popularity with the -Seniors. To her own accompaniment she sang fun songs and more serious songs, in some of which the audience joined. Mr. Lloyd Wilson came from Uxbridge to address the Club. After he was introduced by Mrs. Cawker, he gained immediate attention by his witty references to some personal experiences in his profession of auctioneering. One original humorous story followed another in rapid-fire succession. After each, the applause was spontaneous and enthusiastic. Mr. Wilson clos- ed his address with some suggestions for all to follow during the coming year - to use the gift of praise and gratitude, and to develop an ability and a desire to give courage to others. Finally he quoted. "Let each of you look not only to his own interests but also to the interests of others." Phil. 1.2.
