Starting on June 2 (Monday) Global laun- ches Jokers Wild, after the news at ten. Presumably you'll have supped full with horror, and will be ready to laugh with top British comedians who compete for points according to who gets the biggest laughs. Each jokester is given a topic drawn from a hat, and his opponents may interrupt if they think they know the story, or have a better one. Sounds a lot like the format of Can You Top This an American radio show of the forties and fifties.

Sunday night at 9, you can enjoy the first of a series of feature films from the thirties and forties produced and/or directed by Sir Alexander Korda. The first 102-minute film is The Private Life Henry VIII with Charles Laughton as the gusty uxorious monarch. One of his wives is played by his real wife, Elsa Lan- chester and Merle Oberon plays Ann Bolyn. A Celebration in Song, an LP produced by a Midland church choir, has been heard on FM stations in Hamilton and Toronto, which proves that good news travels fast.

Plans are well underway for the second annual Arts and Crafts Festival at St. Paul's United Church in Midland. The festival committee decided at the outset that the purpose was not to raise money, but to ex- pose as many artisans to the community as possible. The committee, therefore, did not add any commission to the crafts. All profits went directly to the exhibitor. This year, 30 craft- spersons and organizations will fill the hall to overflowing with painting, knitting, crocheting, string art, quilting, decoupage, macreme, ceramics, stuffed toys, dried flower plaques, lamps, hangings and much more. Once again it is ex- pected that the special atmosphere which per- meated last year's festival will prevail. The excitement and joy of sharing a unique ex- perience was paramount. Many people returned day after day to explore more booths, watch the new demonstrations and share in the creative atmosphere. Two new additions to the festival will provide both creativity and sustenance. A children's tent on the front lawn, filled with clay and ex- citing "junk" will un- doubtedly entice both young and not so young to experiment. The nurse's alumnae of St. Andrew's Hospital has offered to manage a food concession. So plan to spend part of a day browsing at the festival and have a refreshing lunch before making all those special purchases! Don't forget the Arts and Crafts Festival, July 1 to July 5. It runs Tues., Wed., Sat. 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Thurs., Fri. 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. i eee cooking Pilchards - appealing, mysterious by Shirley Whittington Clover Leaf is putting out hefty 16-ounce (oh, all right - 425 gram) tins of pilchards, in natural oils. At 49 cents, they're an appealing, if mysterious addition to our super- market shelves. Pilehards are first cousins to herring or sardines, and they make a fine and a satisfying sandwich. With the ad- dition of a little chopped celery, mayonnaise and a teaspoon of sweet relish, they will go to school quite happily in the lunch bags, especially on brown bread. They are also good with a cold beer during the late movie. Every year about this time, I wish I had a patch of rhubarb. I never do, because the root has to be planted and nurtured for a year before it can be harvested. Once it's established, it renews itself year after year. It requires a rich soil, and gardeners can force early growth by putting fertilizer around the roots in the spring. Putting an old bushel basket over the plants causes the leaves to shoot up rapidly in search of light, and thus produces long and succulent stems. So, like lilacs, rhubarb is one of spring's most pleasant surprises. You can't freeze the lilacs, but rhubarb is ridiculously easy to pop in the freezer. You wash it, pick it over and remove any stringy bits, and cut it into one- inch lengths.

Rhubarb, you'll be glad to know, originated in Asia and was introduced to Europe by monks who cultivated it as a medicinal plant. A lot of people still consider it a neat spring tonic because of its supposed astringent and cathartic qualities, but nutritionally, the stalks are no nine-day wonder, which is what happens when you spend your youth struggling toward the sun, un- derneath a bushel basket. The stalk contains some iron, a little phosphorus and some vitamin A and D. Who cares about nutrition when a light and tender rhubarb custard pie like the one described below will put a smile on your face and springtime in your heart? If you use the prepared pastry mixes, without which no cooker is truly happy, this pie comes to the table with the speed of light, and here's how you do it. Add 1% cups of white sugar to two beaten eggs. Add three cups of rhubarb which you have cut into half-inch pieces. a You have, of course, removed the stringy bits and coarse outer skins, if any. Add two tablespoons of flour, and put the lot into an uncooked pie shell. Bake at 450 degrees for ten to twenty minutes and lower the heat for half an hour (350) until the pastry is golden and the rhubarb sweetly pink. If calories bother you, you can forget about the pastry and simply stew the stuff--Two pounds: of cut up rhubarb-needs % cup of water and 2/3 cups of sugar. Simmer it over low heat for 12 to 15 minutes, but don't let it get mushy. Stewed rhubarb is pleasant for breakfast, with toast. More fascinating rhubarb lore - it's a vegetable, not a fruit, unlike the tomato which is a fruit, not a vegetable. One pound of rhubarb will make about two cups of cooked rhubarb. It combines well with pineapple and strawberries. Rhubarb is related to burdock, and some people call it "pie plant". You can't eat the leaves. And that's all I know about rhubarb.
