Surpassing the standards
of mediocrity
By Michael Wycks
The Olympics represent a
standard of sporting excel-
lence rarely surpassed any-
where. It's in Barcelona, after
all, where the finest athletes
on this planet are now com-
peting head-to-head for the
ultimate goal of being the
'wor Id's best."
Canada Post held its own
brand of Olympics recently
when it measured its ability to
deliver mail and packages on
time. In this competition
(pitting Canada Post solely
against itself), 50,000 un-
marked letters and packages
were sent out into the mail by
Ernst and Young, the group
hired by Canada Post to
measure its efficiency. The
results gave Canada's postal
monopoly the gold medal
standing it was searching for
98 per cent of the mail for the
sunt city was delivered with-
in a Canada Post set standard
of two business days, 99 per
cent was delivered between
cities in the same province
within three busiisess days;
and between cities in different
provisoes, 99 per cent was de -
within four busmess
days.
Thew impressive numbers
belie the fact that Canada Post
sets its own standards for
rneasurerrhent. As Brien Gray.
senior vice president, policy
and research for the Canadian
Federation of Independent
Busmesspointsout,-if you set
your standards low enough,
anyone can be a gold medalist-
-Why does it take four
business days to get a letter
from Winnipeg to Regina or
from Montreal to Fredericton?
Meanwhile, the U.S. Postal
Service's delivery standards
are such that it takes just two
days to send a letter from New
York City to Chicago. What's
stopping our postal service
from achieving that kind of
efficiency? With their fairly
lax standards, Canada Post
seems to approach mail de-
livery more like a leisurelyjog
around the track than any
quick sprint.- Gray said.
One area Canada Post al-
ways manages to lead the way
in is postal increases. Neither
rain, nor sleet, nor saw can
stop the postal monopoly froth
asking for apostage stamprate
increase—this year is no
exception. An application has
been made to the federal
government to bike domestic
stamps to 43 cents (one cent
increase), stamps to the
United States by one cent (to
49 ants) and overseas stamps
by two cents (to 86 cents).
Including tax, Canadians
would then have to fork over
46, 52, and 92 cents
respectively.
Canadians pay an extra-
ordinary amount of money to
support a national postal
system. Less costly, consis-
tent, efficient service would
be a welcome change to the
yearly price hikes, strikes and
self-congratulatory initiatives
we have seen lately from
Canada Post. Perhaps it's time
tougher standards were set for
mail delivery—we'll we then
wbetber Canada Post achieves
the same medal count they
have with their own standards.

Thousands Want End To Young Offenders Act
b% Br)h %%at%on
A meeting in West Hill last weed by Citizens Coalition
Favouring 'More Effective Criminal Sentences emphasized
the criticism of the Young Offenders Act.
Gordon Domm. Spokesman Coordinator from Guelph.
told the audience how the Young Offenders Act reduces
maximurn sentences and makes silly cnrainal court games
for children who aren't c hikiren anymore played to the
legislated double standard of adult rights minas adult
penalties. He feels that this act has caused the steadily us-
ing violent crime rates among all age groups.
The Young Offenders AM completely axes mandatory
parental restitution in cases of proven parental contribu-
tion to the delinquency of the offending juvenile and Mr.
Domm feels that this is a sellout of society.
Totally exempting 7 to I1 year olds from juvenile justice.
he feels is a further sellout of society as well as of that
tender age group. and an obvious further incentive for more
came. Little wonder violent teen crime is on the increase.
Debra Scott of Barrie io;d the im"irig how her daughter
was beaten, stabbed and ruthltw.sl, humiliated by a gang of
young boys who could not be punished because of the Young
Offenders Act.
Scarborough representative of the coalition. Veria
Crawford, had her child killed in a similar episode.
The Coalition wants the Young Offenders Act replaced
with the farmer Juvenile Delinquents Act or with a new act
with the maximum age lowered from 17 years to 13 vears
and a lowered minimum age of 7 years as in the former act.
The coalition feels that with the previous act there was
almost no horricide or violent crimes among teens as there
is today.
The new Bill C-12 is not considered very good at address-
ing the faults of the Young Offenders Act either. The
primary outrage over Bill C -t2 lies in the bill's legislated
charges to our sentencing laws for convicted teen
murderers. Convicted murderers should not be able to go
on parole after only S years in prison.
Build Teachers' Network For Educational Change
The Ministry of Education will provide $1.3 million to
assist the Ontario Teachers' Federation i OTF i in initiating
a professional development project. Education Minister
Tont/ SLhpo and OTF President Ron Poste have announced.
The project will provide advice. information. and com-
munications support to Ontario teachers as they work to br-
ief{ about change in the province's schools.
Letter To The Editor
Requiem For A Country
The sad part of Mordecai Richler's book is that it is true.
Our federal leader attended a conference for leaders of
French-speaking countries. Our number two leader From
Quebec also attended the same conference for leaders of
French-speaking countries.
Our number three leader from New Brunswick also at-
tended the same conference for leaders of FYencch-speaking
countries.
Finally, our N.A.F.T.A. commissioners have pathetically
asked the U -S. A. and Mexico not to allow Quebec to join the
N.A.F.T.A. should Quebec secede from Canada. (See
Broadcast Dews Aug. 17 18.) So it seems our International
Trade Minister has given up on Quebec. And the farce that
calls itself the Unity Commission goes on.
Canada is not a French-speaking country!
Quebec is not a country, and never was.
New Brunswick is not a country, and never was.
These people have the audacity to talk about unity'....
Unity -is -One. One Country - One People - One Language.
I am a Canadian!
John McMillan

Scarborough
The project has three major components: an electronic
communications network that will allow teachers across
the province to share ideas and information, a team of
facilitators which will work with groups of teachers around
topics and issues of the teachers' choice: and a communica-
tions strategy involving television and newsletters which
will help teachers and schools share experiences more ef-
fectively.
..Ontario is working in partnership with its teachers to
help them and other educators meet charging expectations
for our schools,.. said Mr. Silipo. "By empowering teachers
to work together and helping educators use up -cordate com-
municatwis technology to share their experiences, we can
create a powerful tool for effective change in education-"
The main participants in the project will be teachers of
Grades 7. 8 and 9, who are expected to begin introducing
new programs for these grades in September 19913, with full
implementation within three years. This initiative is part of
the province's plan for education reform, which includes
the developrnent of curriculum documents that identity
core learning outcomes for students to the end of Grade 9,
Provincial Benchmarks, and eliminating the separation of
Grade 9 students into basic. general, and advanced classes.
"Students in Ontario schools, regardless of age. need op-
portuurities for education that are responsive to increasing
diversity of backgrounds, learning styles, social issues, and
economic condition," said OTF President Ron Poste.
"This project, with its emphasis on communication and the
electronic network, will provide increased opportunities for
teachers to work collaboratively to improve the
teaching learning process. It is our hope that the engage-
ment of the commitment and involvement of teachers at the
school and classroom levels will create a culture of change
that will support contintring education reform."
Mr. Silipo rated that this partnership with OTF com-
plements the previously announced funding of $2.75 million
made available to school boards to meet the professional
development needs of teachers of Grades 7, 8 and 9.

1.5 acres to be built at

DINNER THEATRE:
In the vernacular of the
performing arts, a show
with legs isn't necessarily
one in which the nether ap-
pendages are paramount.
No, the term is in reference
to one that can have a long
run either in the original or
subsequent engagements.
Closer Than Ever is a show
with legs.
It. first appeared locally
,about a year or so ago at
the Y. F. T. It was a good
show then but it seemed to
us that it could have been
even better in more
favourable surroundings.
We were correct.
Closer Than Ever is
back, this time in the
friendly and intimate sur-
roundings of the limelight
Dinner Theatre. and better
even than before. with the
same cast and production
Learn.
Having written that, our
problem reprises in that
it's not an easy show. for
one with our meagre way
Kith words, to describe.
Certainly it can't be
categorized though one re-
mains in doubt over the ef-
ficacy of categorization
anyway. It's not a book
show. neither is it a
review. It's funny but it's
not a comedy. There are no
spoken words, yet it's not
an opera though sane of
the songs have an operatic
quality about them.
Those are the things that
Closer Than Ever is not.
Herr. as best we can. are
the things and - n r n nit-
tant delight that it is.
Conceived by Steven
Scott Smith, it is a mdange
of songs written by David
Shire and lyricist Richard
Maltby, Jr. The songs.
though, aren't just of the
moon, June. honeymoon
varlet.. Neither are they
presented simply concert
fashion. The songs are
highly literate mW reflect
the difficulties and
pleasures of modern Nath
American life. They are
presented in a fluid manner
wherein each flows
naturally into the other and
without seeming effort.
They are sung by a mix-
ed quartet of performers in
solo and in mixed combina-
tion while accompanied on
stage by piano and string
rhythm.
The young ladies who
sing are Barbara Barsky
and Susan Henley: the
gentlemen of song are
Marek Norman and
Jonathan Whittaker. David
Warrack doubles as
Musical Director at the
onstage piano and Bob
Hewes gives excellent back
up on bass.
All are excellent singers,
all have and exhibit fine
comedic values. Watch
Barbara Barsky and
Jonathan Whittaker in the
comic You Want To Be My
Friend'. Watch Miss Bar-
sky in solo as Miss Byrd.
Mr. Marek touches as One
Of The Good Guys and :Hiss
Henley also is mining in
Life Story.
Probably the most
touching song is Father of
Fathers in which the two
gentlemen are joined
vocally by David Warrack
in a paean of parentage.
We felt the tears welling,
our own tears that is to say.
Laurence Follows has
given tight direction and
there is only one suggestion
to be offered by way of un-
proveme t. Since the musi-
cians are on stage rather
than in the pt, they are in
full view at all tines. Why
bold them to virtual stone
face immobility'. They are
both eharani:ng mem and a
fern smiles wouldn't be
amiss. Besides. now that
Mr. Warrack's hair has
silvered, be looks not
unlike Nielson Eddy, par-
ticularly when be is allow-
ed to smile.
You will most certainly
side after seeing Closer
Than Ever. It's a fee show
and boy, does it have legs!

It was Mexican night at
Sutton Place or, at least.
the elegant 23rd floor suite
of Colleen Roberts. The
lady is one of the brighter
and better known lights in
the recording industry. She
says she's m her sixth
decade but we can't believe
it; not of someone so pret-
ty.
Anyway, she and John
Murphy share the same
birth date. two years apart.
Ms. Roberts in a sprit of
nobkss oblige et tourjours
la politesse held a Mexican
party to weicorne John's
entry to and her entrench-
ment in the seventh
lustrum. (No. Mr. Porter
isn't writing our material.)
Regrettably, we had to
depart on assignment
before the party was over
but, ch my, how good it was
while we were there and
bow good it was to become
later.
Guests were drawn most-
ly from the recording in-
dustry and the party was
almost an RCA -1 ictor reu-
nion. Among them was Ed
Preston who represents
Roger Whittaker. We'd
never met but knew each
other from years ago when
we reviewed for
RCA Bluebird. Nice
meeting. Who knows, we
might yet see the fulfill-
ment of our dream to nar-
rate Manhattan Tower for
a video release.
Others scheduled to ar-
rive were Joyce Barslow,
Joey Cee, Brett Halliday,
the ubiquitous Gino Empry
and Cher. You're reading
that correctly; we said
Cher ... from La Cage.
The food was excellent.
Good Tex-Mex, not too
fiery but enough to let you
know you'd been there. Ex-
cellent sangris, arguably
the best outside of Guadela-
jara or El Parador in Mon-
treal.
Happy birthday Colleen
and John. Now, about that
English breakfast.
PARTY TIME: MANQUE
The Montreal World
;Film Festival is now under
way. It's run the way our
local Frsu�,i. i F .,-:vats
should be run and far Rmore
fun.
Well washers are en-
thusiastic about two entries
from Toronto-based
Hollywood Canada Produc-
tions headed up by Mark
Terry.
They are the feature film
Strange Horimos and the
documentary Clive
Barker: The Art of Horror.
Mark appears in the
farmer as does daughter
Mary Anne Transylvania
(no foolin') and wife
Angela, fresh from her
triumph as The Woman
With No Face in an earlier
film. Yes, Angela, we
recognized you.
Good luck to both presen-
tations. Sorry we can't be
there.
ON RECORD:
In Receipt:
Summer In Paradise -The
Beach Boys (A-& M.) One
of the cuts is Hot Fun in the
Summertime. We could
certainly do with it.
Stand On Your Own -ICU
(A.& M.) ICU is a group
that began in St. Mary's
University in Halifax. And,
you thought the Maritimes
produced only Don Messer!
One hopes not but it's possi-
ble that ICU might break
up some day. Will the suc-
cessor band be called
ICU -2? Down the line will
there be ICU2B4U2?
Comment:
We continue to enjoy A.
& M.'s new Childhood
Favorites series mentioned
here previously. It should
be pointed out, however,
that there is an error in the
Bed Time cassette. The
third track on Side Two is
printed and announced as
Dance of the Sugar Plum
Fairy. Music lovers will
realize immediately that
it's the Dance of the Pan
Flutes. No real harm here
except that it could be con-
fusing to children.
FAST EXIT:
We wish we could claim
credit for this item but, in
fact, it's from Entertain-
ment Weekly. Commenting

Energy Efficiency
Near Leamington
Growing hothouse flomoeis dwing winter in Ontano is a
snap - that is. if you can afford the high cost of the energy
needed to heat the huge greenhouses.
In fact, energy represents one of the largest business
costs for Ontario greenhouse owners. But thank, to
cogeneration - a process that products electric and thermal
energy from the same solace - and some financial
assistance from the Ontario Ministry of Energy,
everything's coming up roses at Tage Hansen Ltd.'s
Leamington -area nursery.
In November 1989, the company installed a small
cogeneration system at a cost of $330,000- with the help of
$99.000 from the Ministry of Energy. The Tage Hansen's
new system, a natural gas engine drives an electricity
generator that produces most of the power needed to run
the artificial lights and computerized temperature and
humidity controls in the company's 23 greenhouses. The
engine also produces steam Used to heat the greenhouses in
%•inter.
The energy savings from the new system are expected to
pay for the cogeneration equipment in five to seven years.
The savings will continue long after the system is paid for.
helping to keep Tage Hansen competitive as a producer of
roses. chrysanthemums and miniature carnations for
Canadian and U.S. markets.
In the end, of course• a rose may be only a rose, but
energy savings by cogeneration - or any other name - would
be just as sweet.

At a recent opening of

Admission was. naturally
enough. by invitation only.
So far, so good. Regret-

that there was no public ac-

Now. theatre rest rooms,

Exeter Excels At
Energy Savings
Exeter excels at energy savings
Ontario is graced with historic and picturesque small com-
munites like the Town of Exeter, which is located on the
Ausable River about 50 km northwest of London. People
passing through Exeter may marvel at the tranquility and
beauty of its streets and century -old homes - never suspec-
ting that modern, energy-efficent technology often plays an
important role in helping to keep such mall communities
on the map.
Municipal casts have risen sharply since 1887, when Ex-
eter built its first town hall at a total cost of $3.896. More
recently, Exeter's town officials became concerned about
the high energy bills at the South Huron Recreational Com-
plex. and decided to look into ways of reducing them.
With assistance from the Ministry of Energy's Murucipal
Buildings Energy Efficiency Program. the town conducted
an energy audit of the complex, and followed through with
the audit's efficiency improvement recommendation. Now
the complex sports a computer -controlled energy manage
ment system and heat pump unit that are expected to cut
energy costs by 24 per cent and pay for themselves in just
five years.
The Ministry of Energy. together with partners such as
Ontario Hydro. local gas and electricity utilities. oil sup-
pliers
uppliers and energy service companies. is determined to help
Promote more of these kinds of energy savings in towns,
cities, businesses and homes all across the province.

Community Sports Notes
Toronto Driver Gears Up For France
Toronto race car driver
Ted Havaris, 27, will be up
against some stiff competi-
tion when he returns to the
Elf Winfield racing school
on the French Riviera this
fall. The Pilote Elf Com-
petition Course is con-
sidered the toughest and
most prestigious training
ground in the world. And
Ted wouldn't have it any
other way.
"There's no question• it's
a tough course." Havaris
says. "It's highly com-
petitive, attracting the
most talented young
drivers from all over the
world. I'm excited by the
challenge. and I'm aiming
to win the race in October..,
If he wins the competition,
he'll spend a year in
France, racing with the
very best - and driving
toward his goal of becom-
ing a Formula 1 champion.
Ted has good reason to be
optimistic. Unlike many
hopeful racers who train at
the Winfield school, he was
formally invited to return
to the course. His instruc-
tors believed he was good
enough to compete to
qualify for the Mlote Elf
Competition.
"It's truly an horror to
be asked back." Havans
says. "A lot of people try
their hand at racing, but if
they don't have the talent
or the commitment. thev
don't last long."
Not everyone can
become a champion. But
many of the biggest names
in racing have trained at
the Elf Winfield school.
More than twenty Formula
1 drivers got their start
there, including Alain Pro-
st, winner of more Formula
I races than any other
driver in history. The
school has also produced a
Can -Am champion.
LeMans winners, and
numerous Formula Z For-
mula 3, Formula Renault
and Rally champions.
Graduates say the em-
phasis on competition at
Winfield Elf gives them a
winning edge.

A sharp drop in the number of jobs in Ontario this spring

1.3 percent compared to the same period in 1991. Ontario's
unemployment rate rose to 10.8 in the second quarter of 1982
from 9.6 percent in the same quarter last year. in contrast.
Bob Rae's 1992 budget states. "Job gains are expected to
resume in the spring of 1990 as economic growth takes
place...
"The new job loss figures indicate that the hoped-for
results from the NDP's budget are not materializing," Mr.
Phillips said. "This is added proof that Bob Rae's economic
policies are a failure. "
The Ministry of Labour report states that Ontario's
economy lost 68.000 full-time jobs in the second quarter of
1992. including 5800 in the key manufacturing sector. This
was offset with a modest increase of 6.000 part-time jobs.
The report notes that the average duration of unemploy-
ment has risen to 22.8 weeks in the second quarter from 18.1
weeks in the same period in 1991.
"This worsening unemployment situation demands ac-
tion by Premier Rae." Mr. Phillips said. "It is time to set
aside the divisive Labour Relations Act amendments and
get the workplace partners all pulling together to get On-

Street Health Report
Following the deliberation which took place after the
discussion on the Street Health Report at the recent Police
Services Board meeting, I cannot help but feel that some
members of the Board did not thoroughly read the Street
Health Report.
Since this report came to the Community and Social Ser-
vices Committee, staff took time to respond to the report,
and take it into their domain to investigate some of its
aspects. Staff will be reporting back at a later date.
'I did some research into this matter. I was rather shock-
ed to hear some of the accusations put forward by the
researchers. Based on the fact that the definition of assault
by police officers could rat be described as the difference of
a push or the striking of an individual by a baton, I have to
seriously question the integrity of the reporting and phras-
of the questionnaire.
I have to ask, "What possible reason is there for a police
officer to assault a homeless individual?" Often it is the
police who take these homeless individuals to hospitals, and
sometimes against their will. Does this Constitute as an
assault? In one major centre, over 17% of the admissions
came as a result of police referrals in 1990 and 1981.
During the same period, 1991-92, one mental health facili-
ty discharged 1956 patients. Three hundred and thirty-three
were categorized as ending up in hostels. having no fixed
address. unknown, or other categories. Many others ended
up in private boarding and rooming houses.
On page 31 of the report, it states that 24.4% of the study
group had a history of mental illness. Almost half of this
group had been diagnosed with either depression (33.6%).
or a drug and alcohol dependency (14%). 13% diagnosed as
schizophrenic is manic depressive. having panic disorder. or
cognitive unpairment.
On page 33, under the sub -section Substance Abuse, 68.5%
admitted using drugs at some point, and 43.6% reported us-
ing drugs in the month prior to completing the questiorn-
aaire. Drugs were used several times a month by 30.7%.
and 12.59 used drugs one to two times a month.
One must ask, how it is that the provincial government
decided to de -institutionalize its mental hospitals, and
literally put hundreds of people into the street without
guaranteeing that they would have sorneone to ensure that
their medication was being provided, that care was being
provided, and that they would not be risks to themselves, or
to society in general'
How can anyone be certain with the rather loose type of
questionnaire used. that someone reporting an assault, did
not suffer any type of mental illness' Why of those question-
ed, did 43.69 have enough money to buy illicit drugs, but at
the same time. not spend their meagre funds on sufficient
food'
Everyone knows that those suffering from substance
abuse do not eat well. They also deteriorate physically, and
exhibit irrational behaviour. This is corroborated by the
fact that on page 32. it states that 22.8% of the group had
been hospitalized for mental health problems at some time
in their lives. As sorneorne who formerly was involved with
the health care system. I am aware of the need to be careful
in assessing the effectiveness of any medication, and the
pros and cors of side effects that it can cause.
This weakly structured report is a shot -gun statement
that is unfortunately ineffective in producing informative
and useful material that can be utilized by existing social
agencies, medical facilities, and the police.
It is foolhardy to expect that there will not be confronta-
tions with people who will be irrational, due to drug addic-
tion, alcoholism. and frustration when hundreds of people
who need care and nnedication. get neither.
Until the researchers of the Street Health Report can pr!"
duce some information which relates more accurately in
regard to their recoalunnendatios, then I feel that their
report cannot be given much credibility.

25 Yrs. Of Air Cadet Glider Flying
Twenty-four young
women and 50 young men
from Ontario graduated on
Aug. 14th with their air
cadet glider pilot wings
following six weeks of in-
tensive and often ex-
hilarating training at the
air cadet's Central Region
Glider School t CRGS I at
Mountainview near
Belleville. Ontario.
Each and every one of
these cadets worked hard
to 'earn their wings'. All
are between 16 and 18 and
most have been in their
local air cadet squadrons
for about 3 to 4 years. The
cadets come from com-
munities throughout On-
tano.
The glider flying training
these young people receive
is the continuing result of a
commitment made 25
years ago by the Ontario
Provincial Committee of

Canada and the Royal

train and develop glider
pilots.
While a power aircraft
scholarship program was
well in place, gliders were
seen as a way to broaden
the flying training pro-
gram. It all started with
the first glider CF -ACO, a
two seat Schweizer 2-22.
Since then the prograrn has
grown to 15 gliders and 7
tow planes.
Financed entirely
through volunteer efforts
and donations between 1965
and 1971 the program serv-
ed to introduce gliders into
the air cadet curriculum.
Since 1971 the RCAF and
now the Canadian Armed
Forces have financed and
tun the glider pilot training
program as part of its
ongoing support to air
cadets.
The fust glider training
course in 1971 graduated 8
air cadet pilots. Since then
more than 1300 air cadets
have received their glider
wrings. All this at no cost to
them. These cadets then go
on to participate at the
regional flying centres set
up around the province to
provide familiarization
glider flights for Ontario's
5000 air cadets. For manv
of today's new pilots. their
dream of flying starts with
a familiarixatian flight.
To meet the glider pilot
standard, the Cadet will

times more extensive than

,aircrew and ground sup-
port staff to make the
course run smootly. Now,
25 years later, the glider in-

many of the instuctors, this

Prize winning yeast
dough baking tips
Who's the best baker in
your community? Maybe
it's you! Bake loafofbread
or a pan of ckulamo n rolls
and ether it in the baking
contest at your local fair
this year.
Even if you don't enter a
yeast baking contest, bak-
ing y&,ast bread is a pleasur-
able and rewarding activity
for everyone. Thanks to
Flcischmann's Quick -Rist
Instant Yeast and modern
baking techniques, fresh -
from -the -oven breads are
quicker and easier to bake
than ever before. Here's
some helpful tips from the
baking experts at
Ficischmann's to assure
bread baking sua.ess at this
year's local fair.
❑ Use just enough flour to
achieve a dough that is no
longer sticky. Don't worry
if you use a bit more or less
flour than specified in the
recipe. Measure flour by
spooning it into dry meas-
ures and leveling off with a
straight -edge utensil.
❑ For speedy results, use
Fleischmann's Quick -Rise
Instant Yeastwhich stream-
lines the rising time of
homemade breads by up to
50 percent Quick -rinse in-
stant yeast works best when
added directly to the dry
ingredients and requires hot
to the touch (125°F/50 -C)
liquids to properly activate
the yeast.
❑ Pasteurized milk does not
need to be scalded before
using in bread recipes. The
enzyme in milk that causes
gummy bread is destroyed
during pasteurization.
❑ Water makes breads
crusty. For a soft crust and
a creamy white crumb, use
milk instead of water.
❑ For best results when
heating liquids, use a tber-
momcler. Liquids bottler
than the requucd tempera-
ture will kill yeast Liquids
that arc too cool will fail to
activate new quick -rise in-
stant yeast.
❑ Do not heat eggs before
adding to yeast doughy. If
desired, eggs may be
warmed to room lanpera-
turc but newer heated.
❑ Saltcowrols the action of
yeast... slowing the rung
time and allowing flavor
devclopment to take place.
It also enhances flavor.
❑ Fats — margarine, but-
ter, vegetable oils, shorten-
ing and lard — help the
dough stretch easily. Fats
also make yeast products
tender, keep them soft and
give them a soft, silky
crumb.
❑ Sugar is the food which
yeast needs to make the gas
which causes the dough to
rise. It also helps the crust
brown and adds flavor.
Granulated sugar, brown
sugar, molasses and honey
are all -sugars".
❑ Always cover dough dur-
ing any resting or rising
period. Covering retains
moisture and warmth for
faster rising and prevents
surface drying. Use a light
towel or waxed paper. Place
covered dough in a warm,
draft -free place to rise, and
uncover just before placing
in hot oven.
Q To prevent soggy crusts,
remove yeast -risen products
from pans as soon as they
are baked.
❑ If you have any ques-
tions about baking with
Fleischmann's yeast, con-
tact the toll-free Baker's

4959.
