CHARGEX 311 MAIN ST. 235-2811 Page By ELAINE TOWNSH END I thought you might find Raymond's story as interesting as I did. Several years ago a minister moved to a small town in Southern Ontario. As was his custom, he soon became acquainted with the children of his congregation and their friends. One of these youngsters was a seemingly bright, well- Sorority plans upcoming events The second March meeting of Xi Gamma Nu Chapter, Beta Sigma Phi, was held at the home of Beth Jamieson.

In early August, the minister received a call from the boy's mother, who explained worriedly, "Raymond says he's not going back to school." Although he thought it seemed a little premature to panic about a twelve-year-old threatening to not go to school, he went over to the farm to talk to Raymond's parents. He discovered Raymond had a good reason for not wanting to go back, He couldn't read or write. The previous year, when he was in grade five, an enterprising teacher decided it was about time he learned. She'd write a simple word on the blackboard, like dog or cat, and ask in front of the class, "What's this word, Raymond?" He'd stutter and stammer while his classmates snickered. "Surely you know what this means!" she'd press him, When these tactics proved fruitless, she sent him where all children learn to read - grade one. He spent hAlf of each school day crouched on the little chairs with the beginners trying to read about Dick and Jane. "Has he been tested for a learning disability?" the minister wondered. "He had been given the provincial achievement tests with all the other children at school, and the verdict had been "Mental retardation." "I don't buy that!" came the pastor's reply. With the parents' permission, he took Raymond to a hospital for further testing. The results showed a rare visual problem. Raymond saw words backwards. Dog and cat were hard enough to figure out, but words of two and three syllables were impossible. After much searching, the minister contacted a teacher who had experience in learning disabilities and rehabilitation. She painstakingly authored a reader that only Raymond could understand. By Christmas time, he was able to write a "Thank You" note to the pastor, and by the end of the school year, he passed with merit. One question temporarily puzzled the minister. With all the frustration and humiliation, the boy had suffered, why was he not emotionally disturbed? The answer lay in Raymond's family. They tried every possible means to help him learn to read. But when they realized he couldn't they didn't treat him as a failure, and they didn't make him feel stupid. Instead, they helped him to develop his other poten- tials. He was an eager and capable helper on the farm, where his inability to read could be compensated for. As his father put it, "Hell boy, if you can't read what's on the sack, open it and find out what's inside.' His family accepted him and loved him as he was. And Raymond didn't let them down. Cut kitchen energy costs With the cost of energy con- stantly rising, consumers are trying to concentrae their efforts towards conserving energy in daily household activities, "In the kitchen alone there are many routines that can be changed to cut the use of energy," says food specialists at the Ontario Food Council, Ministry of Agriculture and Food. For example, every time the refrigerator or freezer door is opened, additional energy is burned. The cold air lost from inside these appliances must be made up in order that the proper temperature is maintained. Thus, the appliances use more energy. So avoid opening the fridge and freezer unnecessarily. Above all, don't leave the door open while you decide what you are going to take out for dinner. Avoid freezing large amounts of food at one time. If you pur- chase a side of beef or other large portion of meat, have the butcher freeze it for you and then store it in your home freezer. Not only does your freezer work much harder when freezing large quantities of food, but the quality of the frozen food could be lowered. For best utilization of the energy required to maintain your freezer, keep it at least three- quarters full. Operating a freezer with only a few items in it adds immensely to the cost of that food.

In a report to the annual meeting of the Bluewater Rest Home, Mrs. Farwell outlined some of the main activities the Auxiliary has been involved in over the past year. Last year marked the 10th year the Auxiliary has been active in the community and Mrs. Farwell said she felt sure the ladies have managed to give the residents a fuller and happier life over the years. The Auxiliary presents every new resident with a rose or carnation when they move into the home. They provide lunch for the annual meeting and aid in serving the Easter and Thanksgiving dinners given for the residents and their families. Monthly birthday parties are sponsored by theAuxiliary for all residents having birthdays each month and the regular Auxiliary meetings are preceded by light entertainment and lunches to enable the Auxiliary and home residents to enjoy one another's company. Kidney good source of iron Kidney is a wise buy. It's lower in cost than most other cuts of meat. It's boneless so there's little waste. It's an excellent source of iron. Before cooking, remove membranes. Cut away outer fat and hard inner cores. Kidney may be sliced or cut in pieces. To prepare beef or pork kidney, soak for one hour in the refrigerator in 4 cups of cold water with 1 tablespoon salt. This will give the kidney a milder flavor. Cook covered, using a moist heat method, Because lamb and veal kidney are more tender and have a milder flavor, they do not require soaking. Saute, broil, or lightly braise lamb and veal kidney.

The'Booth at the bean festival last year was a big money maker and as an ongoing project the Auxiliary has started an apron wheel in the lobby of the home with aprons on sale. Money made by the Auxiliary is turned into added luxuries for the residents of the Bluewater Rest Home. Last year, Mrs. Farwell said the Auxiliary purchased a microphone, hair blower, tea wagon, air mattress, lamps for the organ and piano and a record player. Later in the meeting Mr. Risi, manager of the Rest Home, thanked the Ladies Auxiliary for all the help they have given the staff and residents of the home and for the extra luxuries possible through their efforts.
