Homemade soups: Quick, easy with handy appliances. Making a homemade, delicious cream soup can be a cinch with the help of two handy kitchen appliances...the blender and the microwave oven. That's right, with the cooking ease of a microwave oven, the ingredients for soup can be cut up and cooked in a microwave safe container. After they're cooked, simply pour the ingredients, liquid and all, into the container of a blender. Add milk or cream (or vegetable juice for a lower calorie version), cover and blend. It's that simple! When blending hot ingredients, be sure to remove the built-in feeder cap in the blender cover in order to allow steam buildup to escape. Soups will blend more easily if the liquid is placed in the con- tainer first...then the solid ingredients. Because the ingredients were blended while hot, just pour the delicious, hot soup into cups or bowls for a tasty light lunch. Or, allow soup to cool and serve chilled for an elegant prelude to dinner. Homemade soup has never been easier. Try these appetizing soup recipes from the Home Economists in the Oster Test Kitchens. TB ERE SD AE IT SESE TREO 7 RE re Remembrance Day continued from page 2 The term rationing might be unfamiliar to many today, but it was very well known during the war. Canada had a small popula- tion when the Second World War started. It was about half of what it is today, and most of our factories were busy producing the arms and ammunition and ships our Armed Forces needed. That meant there weren't enough factories to make the RICH ZUCCHINI SOUP 14 pounds zucchini, cut into 1" pieces 1% cups water 4 small onion % clove garlic Ly) 2 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules 4 teaspoon dried thyme Salt and pepper to taste % cup light cream Place all ingredients except cream in 1% -quart glass bowl.

Mainly, of course, because peace meant no more long casualty lists and no more sad telegrams. But Canadians were also happy because they knew that their lives could-once more return to normal. and donations to the Heart Thank You To those who sent cards & Stroke Foundation.

Talk about confidence in the new vice-president. Here's a final list of my likes: photography, Molson Canadian, cats, dogs fish, reading (Stephen King and the like), the Toronto Maple Leafs (who will win the Stanley Cup three years after Harold Ballard dies), and rock 'n' roll I dont like: disoo or punk music, running out of gas (or any car prob- lems for that matter). One last thing I don't like is Free Trade. There are too many unanswered questions about the whole deal. For example, last week, the Conservatives announced an $850 million aid package to Westem farmers. Would this be allowed under Free Trade or would the U.S. consider this an unfair sub- sidy? And why tie ourselves down to the most in debt nation in the world (two to three trillion dollars). Industry technology in the U'S. is falling behind that of other nations and that will only make the situation worse. Since I'm writing this before the election Tl make a prediction.

Because goods were scarce, the government decided that the only way to ensure that people got their fair share was to ration them. Canadians were given coupons that allowed them to buy a.certain amount of butter, gasoline and food each week. Without the coupons, prices would have risen drastically. Rationing also meant that many of the things which had been taken for granted, like Sunday drives and large meals, were no longer possible. There were more serious incon- veniences too, because there could be problems getting to work, or to a doctor's appointment.
