But there was a time, not too long ago, when a picnic meant that mother got up at dawn to prepare potato salad and sandwiches. After that she packed glass jars and bottles in myriads of paper to keep them from breaking and spilling. By the time the picnic table was set mother was pretty well worn out. Today, wherever you , find family life you find plastics, and they go right along on picnics, too. The flex­ ible polythene refrigerator dishes with lids carry potato salad, fruit juices and sandwich spreads from refriger­ ator to picnic site without spilling, leaking or breaking. Snap-tight lids keep the contents fresh and appetiz­ ing, * i Polythene grocery bags filled with lettuce, tomatoes, hard-boiled eggs and green onions carry all the mak­ ings for sandwiches or salads. After that To keep food and drink cold, fill plastic bags with ice cubes and pack around bottles and food containers. Be sure the bags are tightly closed and leak-proof. Thermos bottles are indispensable for hot liquids. Those with polythene' caps..that house nests of cups prevent burned fingers and lips when drink­ ing hot tea or coffee. Plastic fizz caps keep carbonated drinks from losing their zip once the bottle has been opened. Those who are disturbed by the rattle of dishes in the picnic hamper • will find polythene containers silent as well as unbreakable. Now on the market are plates with neat dividers^ as well as many sizes in the familiar polythene tumblers. If washing facilities are not avail­ able those old polythene grocery bags are good protection against a messy hamper. Wet bathing suits can be carried home in the same fashion, but make sure there are no holes In the bag! Most of the plastic articles that add to picnicking pleasure are the same things you use in your own kitchen.

Her advice is to steer away from the food faddist with the fancy diets, and to reduce the quantity of food you eat, without changing either the quality or the variety. If you are real­ ly overweight, it is a good idea to re­ duce—but always let your doctor de­ cide if you are overweight, and if so, by how much, Also let him be the one who decides how much weight you should lose, and how rapidly. ' Incorrect or popr food habits usually characterized by plain simple over­ eating, are the most common causes of overweight. The first necessity is a balanced diet, including daily nor­ mal amounts of the basic foods— meat, fish, poultry, eggs, cheese, milk, whole grain or enriched white bread, butter or margarine, whole grain’ cereals, vegetables, and fruit. "If one must Cut down on the basic fopds, then cut down carefully on every­ thing,” says Miss Trerice. “Although every common food con­ tains some potential calories, no single food should be regarded as "fattenhig” or high caloric. It’s the amount" of each food you eat that determines how "fattening” or high caloric it becomes,” states Miss Tre­ rice. Guest (departing at last)'5 “Good­ bye.

Any similarity between it and the regu­ lar newspaper will be purely co­ incidental. The special issue wilL be devoted to advertisements of local mer­ chants in the' frontier or western style,' in keeping with Wingham’s Frontier Days celebration,, and it is hoped that the ads will provide a chuckle or two for young and old alike. While they are not to be taken too seriously, the copy for each ad will undoubtedly have a grain of truth in it. Incidentally, the name is not as far-fetched as you .might think. In its early days Lower Wingliam was affectionately known to all con­ cerned as Slab Town, due to the fact that the saw mill was situated there, and probably because of the taunts of the people of Upper Wingliam, the Slab Towners reta­ liated by calling Upper Wingham Rowdy Hill. Watch for "The Slab Town and Rowdy Hill. Bugle” next week. If it’s half as good as we hope it will be, it’ll be worth the price of the paper. Namely, seven cents. ELECTRONIC DEVICE KEEPS HEART BEATING A new electronic device has been invented that can keep the human heart beating for as long as 109 hours, according to a release from the Medi­ cal and Pharmaceutical Information Bureau received by the Health League of Canada. , This is much longer than any prev­ ious mep-ns of artificial heart stimu­ lation has been able to accomplish. The inventor calls his machine an "electric pacemaker.” He has already used it successfully in the treatment of 27 cases in which the heart was not beating at its normal rate. The pace­ maker is used by applying two metal electrodes to the chest of the patient. The current is turned _ on and the machine is set at a pace at which the heart should beat normally. From time to time, the physician examines the patient’s heart to see if it can function properly without the ■ ’s------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Plan Tenders At Goderich Tenders for repairs to the north wall of Goderich Harbor and for dredging will be received by Robert Forteir, chief of administrative ser­ vices and secretary of the Federal Department of Public Works, Ottawa, until 3 p.m., Wednesday, September 7, according to an announcement from Ottawa.
