You will study wine selection, soups, sauces and other aspects of classical menu planning. Through a blend of lec- tures, demonstrations and student participation you will learn the practical techniques of cooking in- ternational foods. Emphasis will be placed on the classical cuisine of various countries, including France, Italy, Denmark, Russia and others. Gourmet cooking! That phrase conjures up images of exquisite dining rooms, far-away places, the master chef creating classical culinary magic. No longer is the preparation of gourmet foods beyond the reach of the domestic kitchen and the competent cook. glood, if a bit pricey - kaiser bun with ham and c eese 65c.And the W.H. Smith book store there is fascinating - a wide range of books and pocketbooks on all sorts of associated scientific topics - I got one this time on the scientific possibilities of immortality. Lots of games, cloud charts, etc. at reasonable prices and an excellent place to stock up on interesting stocking-fillers for Christmas. But give me the good old ROM which is comparatively peaceful and very in- formative. There is time to stand and stare in almost any area (except perhaps the dinosaurs) without getting your kidneys pierced by little elbows. The last time I was at ROM I overheard a grandmother addressing her small com- panions as they went through the doors ahead of us. She said, "Now this time we're not going to visit the dinosaurs or the cafeteria - we're going to see what I want to see." +++ "' Robert Southwell (1561-1595) was. a‘Roman Catholic poet and priest at a time when it was treason for a Jesuit to remain in England for more than 40 days. He was arrested, imprisoned, tortured and finally hanged. This is a little- known but charming ode which he wrote after the death of Mary Queen of Scots: "Rue not my death, rejoice at my repose, It was no death to me, but to my woe, The bud was opened to let out the rose, The chain was loosed to let the captive go." ' +++ On various attractive billboards around the town, the Art Gallery of Ontario is asking plaintively, "Have you visited your Art Gallery recently?" Now I love art and consider a monthly visit to the Gallery part of my life, but their hours are specifically designed to discourage we poor working slobs - Mon. to Fri. 10:30-5 p.m., Sat. 10:30 to 5:30, and Sunday 10:30 to 5:30 p.m. There isn't even one evening a week when you can get there after work. ROM has opened its doors in the evenings during the summer, why can't the Art Gallery? Many of us would like to have a meal out during the week and spend the rest of the evening browsing at the Art Gallery - why can't we? After all, it's not a private venture - it's supported by public funds and it should be available to the public when the majority of the public can get there - on weekends and evenings particularly. I visited the Science Centre again this weekend and it seems to me that despite the massive architecture, colourful decor, etc., it's an expensive failure. That is, if the intent behind it is to scientifically educate people (especially the young) in a painless, unstuffy way. Oh, the people' come all right - by the cartload - and the children come, but what do they take away? Hopefully, an added understanding and ap- preciation of what science means in our lives. Well, a few thoughtful adults may achieve this but my guess is that the children gain nothing from this attempt to scientifically entertain them. They rush in, like a barbarian horde, determined to push, pull; kick, poke, yank, prod and whack any exhibit which isn't already out of order. They have no understanding of or interest in the scientific principles involved in any of their activities at the Centre - it's just a fun place, not as good as the Ex, but open all year round. As far as the Science Arcade and similar areas are concerned, it may be fun for the kids, but it's a nightmare for adults - you can't get close to any of the interesting exhibits, because there are six kids ahead of you, beating the exhibit into submission. Some science-oriented high school students may get something from the Centre, but for many of us it fails in its purpose.

Where: North Campus If you plan to do your own laundry, you will need three to four dozen diapers. There are several fabrics to choose from: gauze is soft and easy to fold into the small sizes for newborns and it also dries more quickly than other fabrics. Stretch gauze gives the best fit. Flannelette is cheaper and may be slightly more absorbent than gauze. Terry-towelling is used in England and some Canadian _. mothers find it satisfactory. Paper is used for the disposable diapers. These are far more expensive than cloth and probably are most useful when taking the baby on trips. When it comes to water- proof pants, the plastic ones are easier on the baby than rubber, but some babies develop a rash if they wear them continuously so it might be a good idea to buy just two pair until you know your baby can' wear them. When buying the necessary safety pins, remember the ones with plastic heads are less safe than ordinary pins because they break easily. The pins with the steel head that slides up to unfasten and down to hold the pin shut are the most satisfactory. In your planning, the most basic need is diapers. Consider first of all whether or not you will use a diaper service. This is much more expensive but it is certainly more convenient. It may be a worthwhile expenditure depending on how much you value your time and whether you already own the necessary laundry equip- ment. If you do decide in favor of the diaper service, you will require one dozen diapers for an emergency supply. Everything bought for the baby should be machine washable and dryable and require no ironing. Clothing should be easy to put on and take off. Too much fuss in changing and dressing a baby can make him irritable. The main concern is to keep the baby comfortable and happy. More often than not a baby may be over- dressed rather than under- dressed. Their heating system is better developed at birth than the cooling system and babies need more help to keep cool in hot weather than to keep warm at ordinary room temperature. A buying guide on baby's needs in a recent Canadian Consumer magazine suggests that it is not at all necessary to spend a great deal of money on things for your baby - he will be as happy with clothing and equipment that meets minimum standards as with the most expensive.

Never put plastic pants through the regular wash cycle in your machine or through a wringer. One of the handiest gar- ments you could have for a baby is sleepers, which are also called playsuits or coveralls. You can use at These can be used for special occasions if not all the time.

Quality is important because the suits are used constantly. The fabric should be very thick and stretchy and without collars. Babies have very short necks and sleepers with collars are uncomfortable. There are many fancy sleeper sets on the market but for the same price, the plain ones are usually better quality. Snap fasteners on sleepers should W be closely spaced, especially in the crotch area, and should extend all the way to the ankles. It is better if the snaps have a loose, rather than a tight hold, and set into a special band of thick twill rather than just a fold of the material because they tend to pull away from the lighter fabric. Examine the snaps carefully; the best ones have three separations in the holding rim rather than just one.
