Take a step back in time,
to the 19th Century when
Mystic Seaport wes a bus-
tling New England shipyard
and waterfront village...to
a way of cooking that
was a unique combination
of pioneer, Indian and
English cookery...to an old-
fashioned church supper.

Since church suppers were
the only large social gather-
ings in Mystic’s early days,
everyone participated with
great gusto, There was 4
great deal of culinary rivalry
between the ladies, waich
resulted in a magnificent
collection of specialties—
chowders, ‘baked beans,
pies, biscuits, chicken pies,
cakes and coukies.

Many of the recipes for
these budget-minded church
supper specialties have been
preserved and passed down
through the generations.
This Chicken Pie with
Cheese Crust is inspired by
one of Mystie's old recipes,
The filling is layers of chick-
en, hard-cooked egg slices
and arich mushroom sauce;
the pastry topping flavored
with sharp Cheddar cheese.
Versatile Blue Bonnet Mar-
garina gives an old-fashioned
buttery flavor to the mush-
room sauce and makes a
tender, flaky pastry.

Whether it's a church
supper for a large gathering
or a simple family dinner,
try a memory from 19th
Century Mystic.

A balanced diet of vitamins and minerals, physieal activity and a doctor's care all help over-
come the normal stresses af being a mother-to-be, .

PREGNANCY AND NUTRITION

Good nutrition is vital at any
time, but during pregnancy wise
eating becomes doubly import-
ant. Both the future health of the
mother and the child are at stake.

The Kellogg Nutrition Council
paints out that healthy eating
during pregancy makes one feel
better and helps one better cope
with the normal stresses of preg-
nancy, labor, delivery and the
post-delivery {postpartum) per-
iod. Certain disorders of preg-
nancy are also tess likely to
develop.

If wise eating habits are follow-
ed during pregnancy, it’s also
more likely the baby will be born
at the right time, healthy and of
normal weight, It has beenproven
that mothers who follow good
nutrition during pregnancy have
healthier babies, especially dur-
ing the first few months of life.

A variety of foods is best to get
all the nutrients needed for both
you and your coming child.

Proteins are needed for many
reasons, including proper de-
velopment of" body tissues,

/

t

musele development and the for-
mation of red blood cells. Top
quality protein is present in lean
meat,fish, poultry, eggs, milk and
cheese, Three servings per day
are suggested for pregnant and
lactating women, along with
several servings of milk and milk
products to supply the minerals,
calcium and phosphorous neces-
sary for the formation of strong
bones and teeth.

Iron and copper are two other
important minerals during the
pre-natal period, Good sources
are liver, green leafy vegetables,
raisins, whole grain and enriched
breads and cereals.

Fruits and vegetables supply
vitamins not found in other
foods. Dark green, leafy vegetab-
les such as broccoli, spinach and
greens, and yellow or orange
vegetables such as carrots and
squash supply vitamin A. Citrus
fruits, tomatoes, cantaloupe and
strawberries contribute — vita-
min C.

Many of the B vitamins and
iron come from carbohydrate
foods such as whole grain or en-

riched breads and cereals. These
foods also provide food fibre so
necessary in regulating the diges-
live system.

Each day should begin with a
nutritious breakfast supplying
1/4 to 1/3 of your daily nutri-
tional needs. Such a breakfast
might consist of juice, ready-to-
eat cereal such as com flakes with
milk, and bread or a roll with a
spread,

If you eat a diet balanced in
nutrients, weight gain shouldn’t
be a problem. But if it is, a
physician’s advice should be
followed. The average woman
gains about 25 pounds during
pregnancy -- three pounds in the
first three months, 11 in the
second three months and another
11 inthelast three. Up toa tolalof
30 pounds {s normal and nothing
to worry about,

Exercise, as well as goodeating
habits, is essential for optimum
health, Most of all, a pregnant
woman should be under the care
of a doctor who can advise a diet
and exercise program suited to
the individual,

LONDON (CP) — A
man jailed recently for
burglary admitted to 54
previous convictions on
other charges but told the
court it was his first
burglary and he objected
to “being stigmatized as
a burglar." The
magistrate told him: ‘‘To
describe yourself as a
scrap-metal merchant is
a euphemism. You are a

The drive-in theatre, where
cool weather tempts car
owners to run vehicle en-
gines for a warm-up, is dan-
gerous. Rust holes in the
floor, body, trunk or fire-

noxide to seep in from
leaky mufflers or tail pipes.

Don't smoke while using
