Confessions of a Diet Tramp
Diet Tramp, that was me, drifting from diet to diet. The sad sack
of the culinary community, I was great on hand-outs. When they
handed out the snacks at parties, where was my hand? In the food
bowl, of course! Usually both hands. When they handed out samples
in the supermarket, guess who was in the front line eating? Good old
D.T. I beat track records to get to those free handouts,
Mind you, as the weight piled on my agility certainly lessened, but
I always had the satisfaction of cleaning out the snack bowl at a
party, and I never missed the samples. Sometimes I'd stand, there so
sad-eyed, the demonstrator would open another packet to get rid
of me,
Between all this snacking, I found time to diet, I told you I was a
Diet Tramp, didn't I? I tramped to the diet where you eat all that
grapefruit, bacon and eggs, but in the middle of that one along came
the diet where you drink lots of water for "instant thin". 1 tramped
over to that ono and darned near drained a lake dry. 'The doctor had
to dry me out and he really got mad, He told me if I didn't give up
all these so-called "miracle" diets it would be a miracle if my consti-
tution survived..
Something my doctor said made sense to me; it was the way he kept
repeating the word "nutrition". Nutrition was not in my previous
diets. I'd been so busy looking fot every "get-thin-quick" scheme
along the way that I had forgotten the body needs food as fuel for
energy, not just to lilt a gap. I had forgotten it needs protein, vita-
mins and minerals to repair cells, build and maintain muscles, and
sensible nutrition to perform at peak during a long, healthy life.
I'm glad my doctor rescued me from tramping in search of the per-
fect diet. The only perfect diet is sensible eating; maximum nutrition
combined with minimum calories.
I threw out my tramping shoes, and my family tell me I've never
looked better. I love 'eat.

Agricultural Tidbits
WITH ADRIAN VOS
It seems that there are different yardsticks for farmers
and for urban people. Take the item I mentioned last week
about the location of livestock buildings. This does not apply
to dwellings. No farmer can even dream of putting up a
livestock building near a city or town. The city or town
however find it quite normal to dump their smelly garbage
in the country. At present, two more townships are engaged
in a fight to keep the city's pollution out of their backyard.
Hope Township in Durham County, with the help of the
called HOPE are fighting desperately in "hearings" conduc-
ted by Ontario's government. The other municipality is
Elgin County,
With an energy crisis upon us, isn't it about time that
some more money is made available to come up with a plant
that recycles the garbage into methane gas and nitrogen fer-
tilizer? It has been known for decades that this is possible.
The argument is that it is not profitable. One never hears if
it reduces the cost of disposal, and what about the quality of
life of the people that live nearby? These are intangibles that
can't be expressed in money so the computer leaves it out of
the computation. Hamilton city has a system of partial
recycling and it seems that they make some profit on it, so
why not Toronto and London?
* * *
Talking about recycling, reminds me that more efforts are
being made in the recycling of animal waste through farm
digestors. The University of Waterloo plans to build a
methane gas plant near that city on a hog farm as a pilot
project. In the meantime I received another book from India
with engineering designs for different sizes of gas plants. Af-
ter adapting one design to my present facilities I sent it away
to the Bio-gas engineers at the U. of Manitoba for comment.
It didn't come back yet, but I'll keep you informed of the
progress. If the design is approved the next step will be a
cost estimate, to see if it will be economical.
With fuel prices going up as they do, it soon should be.

CCNA awards announced
Judith M. McIntosh of West
Vancouver was announced win-
ner of the Dominion Textile
Limited 'Home Town
Newspaper' Award. Mrs. McIn-
tosh received her award in
recognition of her perception in
describing the role of The
Times of North and West Van-
couver in its community. Her
published letter to the editor
illustrates the rapport of com-
munity newspapers with their
readers in towns and cities
throughout Canada.

"In times of jet and rocket
travel; in times where the
social order changes so inor-
dinately fast that even change
is changing; in times of "future
shock" where what I learn
today may be obsolete
tomorrow, a local weekly
newspaper like the Times is
like a rock.
"It's solid for the here and
the now, and it gives me a
feeling of steadfastness. It's the
one single thing that comes to
my home that truly. gives me
and my family a sense of com-
munity, It tells me about my
"here and now"; my local com-
munity,
"It ways what and who I'm
living with. It tells me what my
neighbour's goals and aims are;
their interests, their likes and
dislikes. Similarly, it is a forum
for me to air my thoughts, my
interests, and those of my
husband and children.
"It is my Hyde-Park-corner
in an age where the eccentric is
not looked upon with amused
and interested tolerance, but
with some fear and disdain. It's
a safer place to speak out and
broadcast my philosophies
about anything; kids, drugs,
government; or any other topic
which might evoke ridicule if I
were to stand up on a box in
my local shopping centre and
start to air my views.
"Another thing I like is that,
very simply, it tells me what's
going on in my community. The
big dailies don't do this.
They're concerned more with
national and international
issues, Worthy, to be sure, but
'hardly pertinent when my
children want to know when
the May Day Parade is, or
when and where the next soccer
game is going to be.
"A newspaper like the Times
gives us all a chance for some
good-humoured and amusing
gossip about my friends and
neighbours. It is,
metaphorically speaking, the
"over-the-back-fence" dialogue
that is missing in our highly
sophisticated society,
"The Times stimulates com-
munity growth and develop-
ment by publicizing citizens' ef-
forts, e.g. the development of
Ballantree Park had good
Times,support. To me, too, the
Times is the old-fashioned
"welcome mat" to newcomers
in our community. It says
"Welcome" literally and then
gives the information necessary
to orient yourself quickly to our
area.
"It gives us news of local
government happenings, plan-
ning, etc.; it says what's hap-
pening at school today; and it
is a weekly activity calendar of
local events. It gives me a
chance to sell my "white
elephants" and brings me up.
to-date on important consumer
information.
"But, most importantly, it
somehow says by its very
presence - by its very effort of
being, of being published - that
it's interested in me. In me as a
person, as an individual, and in
me as a part of my larger com-
munity. The Times is my com-
munity." Judith M. McIntosh,

But he was so little! He went

the boy away. The boy was
