that unless I gain utter control

What can this be, you are
wondering — well, dear read-
er, Iet me say at ance that this
is no Cape Canaveral, that I am
not planning to put a sputnick
into orbit from my cottage on
the hill, merely endeavouring
by a process of trial and error)
to learn how to use the instru-
ment panel on my new as
cooker:

Of course, I can use it man:

black and white panel with the}
star burst in the centre and all!
the little white knobs and win:|
dows will forever grin derisive-|

am- an old fashioned woman, |
and not ashamed of the fact, I)
am going to conquer this thing |
— or else!

Stand back now — it says
here “hour$ to cook” and so if}

over. From now on anything |
can happen, from a rocket
flight to the moon to a perfect

mustn't forget to tell the genie |
who resides at the back of the)
panel how long I want the meat
or the cake, or whatever it is
to cook — also, when I wish
it to start cooking.

Simple you say? Maybe, but
then, I haven't a degree in en
gineering or electronics, in fact,
I still find it cause for wonder
