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

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.

Shape beef into thick patties. Brown in skillet. Remove patties and combine remaining ingredients in pan.

Place patties on top and cover. Simmer 25 minutes.

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.
