These girls were among 14 Maritimers who in July visited the Girl Guide headquarters for the western hemisphere in Cuernavacea, Mexico. Other Islanders on the trip Included Marjorie Gillan. Ilene Norrie and Margaret Clarke of Charlo- ttetown. and Lynn Ann Roach of Souris.

The girls paid their own way and travelled about 7000 miles by bus to reach their destina- tion. While at the centre or "cabana" they met girls from nine different countries.

Karen and Nora explained that they went as tourists, but wore their uniforms. saying that it makes it easier to gel. dis- counts cut rates. 1 here July 7 and returned July

29.

The country and the great contrast in the way of life in Mexico impressed the Cana- dian visitors. Everything chang- es completely at the b o r d e r, they said.

"in Mexico it's just as it is in books" they declared, the peons with their burros in the desert,

the haggling the market place. tht excitement of bull- fights. the magnificence of the

cathedrals. _ They described the people as both happy-go-lucky and emo- tional. they use every occasion for a holiday or a party. "Peo- ple are never in a rush. The only thing that starts on time is the bullfight". It is a far less placid matter to baggie with

a volatile taxi driver over fares, however. Bargaining in the market

and the shops was described as "great fun" and

woven straw handbags and Mexican jewellery to prove their bargaining prowess. Everything is much cheaper in Mexico. they noted: th ere one can get a kingsized Cake for something into four cents. or dinner at a dollar. baud! meat for: and yatrth of ails material

Mexico City is quite fashion- able, they said. Mexican wom- en are very minine. Slacks and shorts are not seen the streets but only in the privacy of the home.

The store people in spoke English. and the picked up a few Spanish words. They did not study the language before going, and_one said ‘'1 would advise anyone going there to study it". Without Spanish a visitor can talk to the educated. but not to all the people.

Social life was a lark for the visitors with parties at the Ca- bana and in private homes. or visits to a typical restaurant or club complete with dancers, ca- stanets and Spanish costumed

waiters. -

Getting back for a moment to taxi drivers, the girls declared they would rather walk than drive in Mexico City where the drivers “whiz all over the road", or tak a treacherous the country at 70 or 75.

The cabana celebrated its

fifth anniversary while Nora and Karen were there, with 12 coun- tries dispiaying n a t i v e cos- tumes. dances and songs, and 500 gumts in attendance. The girls spent Cur- navacea and four in Mexico Ci-

ty.

The girls referred to th leaders for the- visit Suzanne Maclfinnon, Charlottetown, and Kay Walsh, St. Andrew's, N.B., as really tops, “we couldn't have gotten any better."

The party covered a lot of country between here and Mex- ice, and spent about half the time they were away on bus. The highlight of the trip down was a 24 hour stop in the

Looking back over the whole visit Karen and Nora admitted "It is a little hard to convey

how much fun we had. and all the things we learned."

Imagine. if you can, cooking without any measurements, with a handful of flour, vanila to taste, rdash of salt and a little cream. This is" how the Canad- ian wife and mother of a too years ago did it, “cooking by ear" or possibly by "the feel." Edward Bowser. a resident of Vernon River, while repairing his 100 year old home found a old cookbook between the walls of the house. The book is entit- led "The Canadian Home Cook

e book can't boast one sin- gle accurate measurement; egg yolk is spelled throughout egg yelk:" and a large section of the book is devoted to "beverages" including white spruce beer and "sham champagne."

If any cooking utensil was a necessity a hundred years ago, it was the tea cup. The book specifies that you beat egg yolks in teacups, mix yeast in teacups, chop nuts and fruit in teacups.

The book also anticipated that the Canadian wife would have a large family and, or hearty ap- petites since everything seems -to be produced in rather large quantities. For example if your having frlcasseed eggs for break- fast you were requested to boil one dozen eggs. For the budget- watching housewife of the 19th century the hook included such favorites as Saturday Soup. which instructed you to collect all the bones which you have on hand from the week, but today's

Some of the more unusual rec- ipes from the "Canadian Home Cookbook” are listed below. and if anyone has the courage to try any of them let us know how they turned out.

Minute Soup — Excellent for supper where something warm is desired, or for the little folks when» they return from school. Light bread of crackers crum-

in a bowl or deep dish. add butter and sweet cream and plenty of salt and pepper; if fond of onions cut a few slices thin and lay over the top and pour

they make so strong that one part of the liquor’requlres the addition of two parts to reduce it to the proper strength. This addition is made with hot milk. The large proportion of hot milk in the place of so much hot wat- er gives the coffee a richness like that made by the addition of cream in the ordinary way. By this means any housekeep- er desirous of making good cof- fee can have it without cream.
