WALKING CANE stretches the legs and clears the mind
world. The tensions of 48 hours earlier were a bad memory. The problems that had blocked my horizons had shrunk to the molehills they really were. Next morning, I disposed of them with calm and ease. Since that weekend, I have always known what to do when I find, as most of us do at times, that I'm beginning to wilt beneath stress and strain: for two or three days I use only man's natural means of locomotion. In my three-mile-an-hour world of simple pleasures I soon "get away from it all." I do not always leave the house on foot. Sometimes I scan a road map—the kind you can pick up at any gas station—and look for big, road-free spaces. I choose one that intrigues me. Then I drive to the edge of it, park the car, and walk in. The trip need not occupy a weekend. It can take an hour or an afternoon—or a week. YOU NEED an objective—because that takes care of where you go; reaching it is not essential. I have aimed for prominent hilltops, for villages I don't know, and for the seashore—a two-day ramble from my home. Once, a friend and I climbed the "unknown" side of a mountain we'd often driven up.

(St. Louis Post-Dispatch) "Meat pieces are hefty and plentiful with a lavish portion of sauce", drooled the N.Y. Herald Tribune. "Low in cost, the cans of meat and chicken contain about three servings for less than a dollar," enthused The Miami News. Drawing this praise were Italian Chicken Cacciatore—Breasts of chicken in tomato, herb and mushroom sauce. Swedish Kottbullar—Savory little meat balls in dill-spiced sour cream sauce. Beef Stroganoff—beef slices in sour cream laced with sherry in the Imperial Russian tradition. Spanish Garbanzo Bean Soup and traditional French Onion Soup. Were the raves warranted? Best bet: Find out for yourself. Geo. A. Hormel & Co., Austin, Minn.
