Since Canada's first set- tlers planted apple trees in the early 1800's, this fruit has played a major role in Canada's culinary heritage. Each fall, another harvest of Red Delicious, McIntosh, Spartan, Nor- thern Spy, Golden Delicious and Cortland ap- ples prompts homemakers across the country to pre- sent their families with a wide array of home baked apple desserts ranging from apple dumplings to apple sauce to everyone's favorite apple pie. What better way to pay tribute to this true Cana- dian classic fruit than with a sampling of traditional apple recipes? All Cana- dian Apple Pie, Easy Ap- ple Crisp and Autumn Ap- ple Spice Cake are three such creations from the Krona Kitchen, all reminis- cent of those treasured recipes that have been in the family for generations. Each one is delicious, easy to make and best tasting when served warm from the oven. Even better, most ingrdients are probably stocked in every kitchen pantry. Krona continues to draw praise as a preferred ingre- dient in all types of baking. Even guarded family , favorites are enhanced by its buttery taste -- yet more reasonable price. The following recipes reflect the tried and trusted quality offered in the Krona Kitchen's Fine Times and Festive Days recipe booklet.

HEART AND STROKE FOUNDATION OF ONTARIO Infant Nutrition = Good Foods for Teething Babies" Around 6 to'8 months, your baby will probably start to teethe., But even before the first tiny white teeth break through those pink gums, you can prepare the way to help en- sure those first baby teeth and later permanent ones will be strong and healthy. Babies chew with their gums and can become ex- pert at it long before their first tooth appears. Anything they can manouevre into their mouths - fingers, toes, toys - is an opportunity for them to practice their chewing skills. So it's important that they be given foods that help them develop the chewing habit early. A teething biscuit will encourage baby to chew. It also allows him to sample the exciting experience of feeding himself. As he hap- pily grasps his new treat and then puts it into his mouth in triumph, you're watching one of the first steps towards independence. Chunky Foods Baby's gums will con- tinue to harden through the next few months. Most pediatricians consider 6 to 8 months the "sensitive learning period"' for chew- ing and feeding and delay of introduction of lumps of food beyond this stage may result in later feeding -"'dif- ficulties". Around this time you should move from strained foods and begin to offer chunkier food. Com- mercially prepared "junior foods" are the right texture for this stage of growth. Pieces are large enough to chew yet small enough to be digestible if swallowed whole. Your baby 'may be suspicious of this chunky new food at first but you can introduce it gradually by mixing it with strained food for a few days. At nine months you can give your infant finger foods such as plain dried bread, pieces of soft cook- ed carrot or banana. Sometimes teething pain can affect your baby's ap- petite, so don't be alarmed if he occasionally turns down your attempts to feed him. Teething biscuits or a teething ring may soothe him. Calcium intake is always important for infants but especially when teeth are forming. So make sure your baby continues to have plenty of milk during - interested - willing, able and ready to work for Terrace Bay VOTE Mary Cashmore for Town Councillor - community minded CASHMORE, Mary xX 'Terrace Bay-Schreiber News, Wednesday, October 23, 1985, page 9 the teething stage. To pro- tect the newly forming teeth, never prop him up with a bottle or give hima bedtime bottle containing milk or juice or any drink containing sugar. It will promote tooth decay. Raw carrot and celery sticks, for instance, should not be given before your baby is over four years of age, according to Dr. David Kenny, Dentist-in- Chief at Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children. '"They are not acceptable as a teething finger food, the child uses the incisor teeth to nibble off pieces that can be inhaled while walking about or playing,' says Dr. Kenny in an article which appears in a recent issue of '"'In Touch" published by the Infant Nutrition Institute. Prevent Choking To prevent choking, Dr. Kenny also advises offer- ing finger (teething) foods only when the child is seated in an upright posi- tion if the child is under two years old; and only feeding when an adult is present. He cautions against serving peanut but- ter "on its own"' as it could stick to the child's vocal cords. "Always put peanut butter on bread or toast."' Do not feed children nuts or wieners as they are the major causes of choking for one and two year olds. 'In fact," says Dr. Kenny, "it may be prudent to tell siblings or other youngsters not to feed a baby anything unless an adult is present."" While your baby's hand- some new tooth might prompt you to offer him a variety of finger foods, it's safer to limit them to the ones that minimize the risk of choking.
