Editorial Oh, my word! As an editor. i am conscious of the use of words â€" just ask my husband and he‘ll tell you how quick (too quick) I am to correct his language from time to time. But, I have always felt that the importance of words can never be underestimated and should never be shunned or overlooked or simply shrugged of as a silly detail. One of the main problems we face today is the changing English vocab- ulary. There are so many new words and phrases being coined every day to identify new technology and ideas that it‘s hard, even impossible, to keep up. I came across this interesting item from the Washington Post recently which really brought this point home for me. I thought you might be in- terested in reading it too! Here, for proactivists who delight in inflated language, is a classic new recipe, The Chocolate Chip Cookie. 0 Total lead time: 35 minutes. In- puts: sugar, butter, eggs. vanilla, flour, baking soda, chocolate chips and nuts. - Guidance: Decontainerize inputs. Perform measurement tasks on a case-by-case basis. In a mixing-type bowl, impact heavily on sugar and butter. Co-ordinate the interface of ‘ eggs and vanilla. avoiding an overrun scenario to the best of your skills and abilities. At this point in time, leverage flour, baking soda and salt into a bowl, and aggregate. Equalize with prior mixture, and develop intense and continuous liaison among inputs until well co-ordinated. Associate key choeolate and nut subsystems, and ‘ execute stirring operations. Within this time frame, take action to prepare the heating environment for throughput by manually setting the oven baking unit by hand to 190 degrees C. Drop mixture in an ongo- ing fashion from a teaspoon imple- ment onto an ungreased cookie sheet at intervals sufficient enough apart to permit total and permanent separa- tion of throughputs to the maximum extend practicable under operating conditions. Position cookie sheet in a bake situation and surveil for 8 to 10 minutes or until cooking action ter- minates. Initiate co-ordination of outputs within the cooling rack func- tion. Containerize, and disseminate to authorized personnel on a timely and expeditious basis. l’d like to make a couple of points about the magazine. We heard reports of the many con» tributions, both financial and manâ€" power, made by Women‘s Institute members in the aftermath ofthe tor- nado which struck some parts of southern Ontario at the end of May. It is of no surprise [0 me that these tremendous efforts were and con- tinue to be made by WI members. I would like to hear more details of the assistance and any human interest stories that may be out there for in- clusion in Home & Country. lam looking for a districts for up- coming District Diary features in the magazine. Are there any ambitious and willing district public relations officers and/or presidents who are inâ€" terested in working on their district diary for the magazine? Please con~ tact me.
