INTERNATIONAL COOKING This is National Macaroni Week. Spaghetti. ndodles and macaroni have long, been an economical favourite with Canadian.homemakers. To give us all a new angle on one of these mainstays, National Macaroni Week has been orgaâ€" nized to bring a new loo® to familiar foods. Macaroni isn‘t just those short tubes of processed wheat that we often drown in a sauce and hand around. It is short, long, thick, sometimes curved into seaâ€"shells, someâ€" times in long, wavy strands that look like the second step Everyone was extremely helpful. We were fortunate, only being evicted by the water for one night. We still had heat and most homes in the area did not. Things aren‘t back to normal yet, since our apartment, which appears to have been struck by a bomb, is undergoing a redecorating. in a home permanent. Spaghetti is just macaroni going around under an allas, and noodles are no more than a cousin once removed. When we arrived home, drenched to the skin after just walking from the car to the groceteria and back, my roommate‘s first words, in grateful exhaustion, were: "Thank goodness we have a niee warm, dry spot to curl up for the night." Famous last words. While making the statement she wearily dropped her shoes in the corner, only to hear a surprising splash. The water was coming in fast. For two hours we shovelled water, bailing it out: took up rugs, moved clothing and furniture up high out of danâ€" ger, We had the assistance of friends and neighborsâ€"the neighbors dropped in to report‘ the conditions in nearby basements and to enquire if we needed any help. We gave up the useless fight against the water and moved upstairs. NO STRINGS Complete Insurance Coverage Being one of the fortunate, from a personal standpoint I can look back on the experience of that fateful Friday night with a smile. A thoughtful friend called the office to say he would drive me home after collecting my roomâ€" mate. Many other offers of taxi service followed from pneople who wanted to help others iif any way they could, not thinking of their own danger while driving without brakes. First we had to shop. The cupbo: basement apartment in New Toronto Though taken out of the news limelight, people are still discussing the aftermath of "Hurricane Hazel", while reâ€" habilitation projects continue throughout the stricken area. People ask: What did you do? What happened to you? On Monday evening there will be Polish food and their "Easter Festival"; the Japanese Consulate; the German Christmas Festival, and a Continental dinner for two. Italy, Denmark, France and Czechoslovakia are the countries taking Tuesday, starting at 2 p.m., and on Wednesday there willâ€"be. Chinese,â€"Russian, â€" Frenchâ€"and â€"Hungarian foods.â€"â€"â€" The proceeds from this event will go to ‘further the work of the United Nations Association in Toronto. STILL TALK OF STORM The first International Cooking School is being held at Eaton Auditorium next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday when twelve countries will be participating. _ Each chef will present a fiill course meal, with suitable table setting, as well as demonstrating how ‘to prepare one of the famous national dishes. The food, as well as many food hampers, will be prizes. = In the days of the Druids they sacrificed a horse to the sun as thanksgiving, signifying the end of summer at the Druid feast. Later, in 400 AD., an Irish king is said to have made fi sacrifices to the moon and the spirits of the ~£€ dead were at liberty to return for the feast “fi of all souls. . and spells were popular One person said: "In the old days when people were very superstitious, they took one night a year to seare ghosts away." _ Another: "Wasn‘t that when some man blew up the house of parliament even before they had such places, then the illâ€"doing of the deed remembered. Wasn‘t his name Faust or We celebrate, but what is it all about? What stands behind Hallowe‘en? How did it get started? These,were the questions bringing the following mixed up replies. Who really knows? ALL HALLOWS DAY CH. 1â€"6805 Yet another believed it to be the night for evil spirits to come out of the underground and carry on fesâ€" tivities around a bonfire, dancing strange steps and singing eerie songs, while entertaining their pet black cats, owls and bats. Hallowe‘en started in preâ€" Chrisâ€" tian times, as Allâ€"Hallows Eve, the vigil of All Saints‘ Day, when omens Bv GERI LOCKE loing of the deed has always been his name Faust or Fox?" This stateâ€" ment was not a report from the village idiot, but a thinker jesting. The cupboards were bare in our When Bob died, the neighboura fell to wondering what would happen to the family. He‘d been a real family man, a steady earner, but he wasn‘t very old the unexpected oveflmkfilm It looked like disaster for the family. You see he‘d recently built himself the nicest of homes and, of course, had made only a fewflpdymonu on the mortgage. His eldest girl was going to high school, and the boy was looking forâ€" ward to entering next year. The sudden death of Bob surely would end everything. â€" But it didn‘t.
