GODBOLT M.B.A. Office: DEVON BLDG, EXETER 235.2740 (By appointment only) The Mutual Life of Canada Main Si., Exeter 235-1153 Mon. to Sat. 10-6 Friday 10.9 Open Wednesday CHARGEX Tirnes,Advoccite, Novernber 13,1975 Page IA Last week f described some losers. For every loser in the world, there is a winner, and it seems appropriate to devote another column to winners, Some of them are obvious and are envied by everyone; others seem weird to the rest of us, But each is a winner in his own way, especially if he feels like one. For example, last week I mentioned a thief who stole four left shoes. He was a loser. On the other hand, the owner got rid of four worthless shoes, that were cluttering his house. He was a winner. Still on the subject of crime, a man in Dusseldorf, Germany, was arrested when he was caught begging in the streets. His bail was set at about $1,000. He's not worried, though. He can pay his fine from the $30,000 he's gathered during twelve years of begging. A Los Angeles taxi driver only thought he was a loser, He en- tered a police station about 2 a.m. to report that a passenger hit him over the head with a blunt object and stole his wallet. The cabby claimed he suffered a fractured skull and lost $30. The police rushed him to a hospital, where he was listed in satisfactory condition, During a doctor's examination, the "blunt object" was discovered to be a bullet, fired from a gun at close range, Many winners stumble upon good fortune unexpectedly, An English couple attended a charity auction, at which they bought a dirty old dish for about 80c, A few weeks later they learned the "dish" was valuable pottery. They sold it to a 'museum for $10,000. Since the beginning of time, men matched their wits against Nature, They devised stunts to prove their mastery. Some hurtled over Niagara Falls in barrels; others crossed the gorge on tightropes. Evel Knievel, who is perhaps the most famous of all stunt men, recently attempted leaping the Grand Canyon on a motorcycle. On a smaller scale, a man tried to jump a forty foot river on his riding lawn mower. A thousand people gathered to watch., reporters and photographers were on hand, and a school band entertained. The would-be stunt man fell thirty-five feet short of his. goal. His lawn mower sunk in the muck, and he was soaked, scratched and bruised, How can he be considered a winner? Well, he survived, and he received all the publicity he wanted. Besides, he can buy another mower and try again. Even Evel Knievel fails now and then, A different kind of winner is 100-year-old Charlie Brown of Alabama, His- parents were slaves, For the past forty-five years, he has lived alone in a shack. He heats his cabin with a wood stove, on which he also cooks. His bathroom is a five-gallon crock in a corner. His home is located at the foot of a hill. Every day he trudges up the slope and down again, which could be one key to his longevity. His only companions are two nameless parakeets, He lives on a social security cheque and says, "It's enough to get by on." Charlie Brown is a happy man, far removed from the rat race. He proves you don't have to be a millionaire or live in the lap of luxury to be a winner. You must have to feel like a winner. The Welcome Inn Club held a euchre in the Scout Hall, Friday, November 7, There were ten tables in play. The winners were ladies high, M, Kooey; men's high, E. Schroder; lone hands, J, Noels. A draw for a painted picture was won by Mabel Black- burn. To make croutons: Heat two tablespoons oil over medium heat. Add crushed garlic and bread cubes.

"The public isn't aware of the connection between proper eating habits and good health," she told a discussion panel and 30 area women at Exeter Public school library, Wednesday evening. Obesity, poor exercise habits and consuming "junk" food form a Canadian lifestyle that leads to health problems, says Miss Davidson, who has studied nutrition in Canada and the United States. Miss Davidson's talk was part of Huron County's participation in Nutrition Week (which started Monday). It's a provincial campaign to spread the "food facts" and is sponsored by the Ontario Society of Community Nutritionists, "It's mainly to do with food" processed by companies which remove necessary nutrients to add things that improve sales. "Canadians consume five pounds of artificial additives and 114 pounds of sugar per person per year," Miss Davidson says, adding that processed foods rely heavily on such ingredients. Miss Davidson whose home base in Toronto was invited to speak throughout Huron county because this area's health units have no resident nutritionist. The county applied for one but was turned down because the government, faced with estimated health costs of $3 billion, wants to cut expenses. "It's not even a question of keeping present staff," Miss Davidson says, "they want to cut back." Warden Anson McKinley, Huron County council, representing the consumer on the discussion panel; assured the meeting the county is still aware a nutritionist is needed. "People don't realize the importance of nutrition. We're concerned about livestock; we should be con- cerned about the quality of the food we place on our table," he said.
