Where is the most beautiful, larg-
est and best-stocked Safeway
store I’ve ever seen? In Medicine
Hat! It’s worth stopping to see at
Medicine Hat Mall, on the eastern
outskirts of the city — Highway
1. The mall, too, is good shop-
ping.

Remember, Alberta still has no
sales tax.

In a fit. of reunion: vanity, 1
stopped in to a salon on the mall
and had my hair done. The stylist
took nearly an hour, did a fine
job — and charged me $12.

ing recipes.
Artichoke and White Bean Salad

This goes together very quickly,
is very pretty and is a real crowd
pleaser. I like this kind of salad
for toting to picnics as it has ex-
cellent keeping qualities.

_ it beats the average green salad
seven ways from Sunday from a
nutritive view and it: still tastes
great.
