SUMMER HOLIDAYS

One-dish, |
campfire meals
worth a try .

IF YOU read last week’s column, -you’ll know that I’m
printing the contents of a 20-year-old file that I prepared for
the camping trips I hoped we’d be able to do with our kids.

Instead, my husband questioned
my sanity and our family vacations
were motel-restaurant based.
Dammit, I still believe 'd make a

. happy camper! To this day I’ve

never slept in anything but a bed
under a roof.

Mind you, marauding bears
aren't my favorite form of wildlife
and spiders give me the jitters.
Maybe both would make allow-
ances and stay out of my life,
should [ ever go camping.

From my pack-ratted file, I’ve
more one-dish, campfire meals arid
some fcil-cooking stuff, untried.

meant to try on our camping holi-

YEARS OF CONSERVATION

We've been daing it since 1938. Today we employ more than 400 professionals and support
staff in 44 offices across Canada. We keep an eye on wetlands — and we're good at it.
During 1988, we're celebrating our golden anniversary. How? By building wetland
conservation projects. And when we finish those, we'll work on more, because helping out
Canada’s waterfow! and wildlife is the best way we know to celebrate the beginning of our
next fifty years. .

We don't think of ourselves as saviours of the natural world. We're hard-working, down-to-
earth, nuts-and-bolts conservationists who do what we know best...conserve wetlands.

Again, I'd be tempted to add a
package of prepared raw
vegetables to the pot, especially if I
was somewhere between Moose
Pasture and Cow Pie, Manitoba
and wanted to get on with the job
before the gnats got on with me.
