People have always been
important in this world.
It took people to venture
to strange new lands and to
carve homes, farms and
businesses out of the
wilderness. It took people to
conquer frontier after fron
tier: it took people to walk
on the moon.
It took people to build
modest log cabins and to
fashion mansions of wood
and brick. It took people to
design floor upon floor
Huron Park
girls active
The fourth annual bottle
drive held Saturday,
January 7, sponsored by the
Huron Park Local
Association of the Giri
Guides of Canada surpassed
previous year’s donations.
This support from the
residents of Huron Park and
Centralia goes a long way to
help the Brownies and the
newly formed Guides
company to do things they
would otherwise not be able
to do.
With the assistance of the
Crediton Men’s Club and the
township of Stephen, the
Guide company was formed
in the fall and is now
thriving. The success of the
bottle drive makes a good
start for 1978.
While thanks are given to
those who donated bottles,
the local association would
like to thank those who ac
cepted the bottles and the
extra work this entailed.
These include Tuckey
Beverages, Bob and Shirl’s,
Theo Variety, A& H and the
Exeter Brewers Retail.
apartments to accom
modate an ever-increasing
population, and it took peo
ple to create sky scrapers of
steel, glass and concrete.
It took people to find drug
formulae and other methods
of treatment for combatting
disease.
It took people to express
their thoughts in words and
to preserve them by writing
them on paper. Some were
told as stories; others had
rhyme and became poetry;
some were interpreted in
song.
It took people to record
the happenings of history
and to ensure that future
generations would always be
aware of their heritage.
It took people to dream
and to turn their fantasies
into realities.
It took people to tame wild
“animals and to control them
to suit their own purpose. It
took people to harness
Nature’s power and to make
it their slave. It took people
to perfect technology and to
invent machines that made
their lives easier.
The horseless carriage
was a transportation
breakthrough, but people did
not rest on their laurels;
they made it faster, more
powerful and more lux
urious.
Railroad tracks linked
nations from one boundary
to another, while jets
traversed the world: ships
conquered unexplored
seaways, and rockets in
vaded space.
The light bulb, the
telephone, and the
gramophone - each made its
impact on the world and-
each was created by people.
It took people to invent
mass-production that
gradually put a lot of people
out of work and took away
much of the uniqueness of
the products. It took people
to design computors that are
slowly replacing people.
Now it is understood that
computors do not make mis
takes; only people do.
Of course, it also took peo
ple to love and to hate and to
experience the conse
quences. It took people to
feel jealousy and greed, dis
crimination and anger; it
took people to make war.
It took people to devise
tactics to fool their enemies.
It took people to manufac
ture guns and tanks that kill
ed more reliably and to build
planes that dropped bombs
more precisely.
It took people to invent the
H-bomb and the atom bomb,
and the latest invention of
people may be the last one -
the neutron bomb. It doesn’t
damage property or destroy
buildings; it just kills peo
ple.
People have always been
important in this world, and
it looks as though it may
take people to destroy the
world and themselves with
it.

New project
is underway
“Focus on Living”, the 4-H
homemaking project with
variety plus, will be offered
in Huron County this spring.
Open to all young people
ages 12-26, whether they live
on the farm or in town, this
project gives participants an
opportunity to explore the
meaning of the 4-H pledge
and develop ways for
following its guidelines.
Quilting appears for the
first time in a 4-H project. All
members will learn to make
a sample of pieced quilting
by hand. Seniors can explore
the art of machine quilting to
make placematsj hand bags
or other articles. Members
may also knit or crochet an
article of their choice.
Leaders will be responsible
for teaching quilting but
members wishing to learn
how to knit or crochet can
rely on friends, parents or
grandparents.
Outings and guest
speakers will be quite in
order. For example, meeting
five can be scheduled any
time during the project and
provides the opportunity to
go hiking or trailing or
visiting a wildlife or con
servation area - anything to
do with our environment and
natural resources.
Meeting six deals with
safety so it might be the time
to have a policeman or St.
Johns Ambulance person
come to a club meeting to
discuss this topic.
The training school for
Exeter and area 4-H leaders
was held Monday and
Tuesday at Exeter United
Church.

Area nurses plan
to support appeal
A fledgling nurses’
organization formed six
weeks ago in London to fight
a proposal by the College of
Nurses of Ontario hopes to
gain support by staging a
meeting for Huron nurses in
Exeter next week.
NURSE (Nurses United
for Registration Security
and Employment) was
founded when the college
sent proposals to registered
nurses and nursing
assistants that would re
quire them, as of 1980, to
work at least 50 days in any
one year of the previous five
to qualify for a certificate of
competence.
One of the founders of
NURSE, Barbara Dundas
will be the guest speaker for
the meeting planned for
Huron nurses at the new
South Huron rec centre on
Sunday, January 29 at 2:00
p.m.
At a similar rally in Lon
don this past weekend, the
ranks of NURSE jumped
from 30 to 300 as nurses

backed the movement I
fight the college proposals.
At that time, Mrs. Dundas
said that the proposal dis
criminates against those
nurses who must leave the
province to find jobs, who
can’t find enough part-time
work, who stop work for
health or family reasons or
who want to start work
again some time in the
future.
“No other profession is
faced with this regulation,”
she said.
The college mailed its
proposals to nurses holding
current registration in On
tario eight weeks ago and
asked for comments by
March 15. The purpose of the
proposals, the college said,
was to ensure the public
would receive competent
nursing card >
It said the current prac
tice of renewing certificates
annually for a $6 fee with no
other conditions “is
always in the public
terest”.
Under the proposals,
nurse failed to meet
regulations, she would have
to complete a “re-entry
program” to obtain a com
petency certificate.
Nurses have expressed
concern that the college is
vague about the nature of
such a program—where it
would be held, who would
give it, its availability to all
nurses, the cost to the in
dividual and the taxpayer.
Mrs. Dundas said NURSE
isn’t opposed to refresher
courses, workshops or re
quired readings to update
nursing skills, but the group
is unwilling to support a re
entry program whose details
are unspecified.
Several people at the Lon
don meeting objected to a
number of working days be
ing set up as a means of
competency. It was also
noted that the public’s right
to competent nursing care is
already well-provided for
under the Health Disciplines
Act.
London South MPP Gor
don Walker is sympathetic
to the NURSE cause and has
written health minister
Denis Timbrell that the
college’s proposals are “not
for the good of the (nursing)
profession”.
The Exeter meeting for all
Huron RNs and RNAs is be
ing organized by'four Exeter
nurses who attended the
London rally.
Speaker on behalf of the
organizers. Dee Beuerman
said the implications of the
proposals “are frightening”.
She wondered if the college
stand is being taken to
counterbalance the great in
flux of nurses which has
taken place in the last'three
years.
The local nurse pointed
out the proposals could
affect full-time nurses who
are now employed as well,
particularly those who may
wish to transfer from one
specialty to another.
It has been predicted that
if the proposals come into
force, by 1980 there will be
thousands of RNs and RNAs
who will be refused renewal
of their current registration.
NURSE regards the
proposals “as the most dis
criminatory and un-
democraotic regulation to
be used against any profes
sion or occupation in the'
province of Ontario”.
Eggs are
versatile
For the size of an egg, it’s
amazing just how many good
things come from it. It’s
nutritious, versatile, offers
good value for your money,
ahd can be cooked a number
of different ways to produce
a variety of delicious dishes.
The food specialists at the
Ontario Food Council,
Ministry of Agriculture and
Food, suggest noting a few
egg facts to help you receive
full satisfaction and the best
benefits from the egg.
A serving of eggs (2 grade
A large) is an excellent and
economical source of high-
quality protein and a good
source of iron, phosphorous
and Vitamin A.
Canada’s Food Guide
states that eggs may be used
as a meat Substitute.
The nutritive content of the
egg yolk does not change
with the varying colors of the
yolk (ranging from pale
yellow to orange). The color
is determined by the grains
fed to the hen. ■
Eggs are graded ac
cording to weight and sold by
the pound. For example, a
dozen large eggs weigh at
least lb2 pounds or 24 ounces
(minimum of 2 ounces per
egg).
To produce tender egg
whites, use low to moderate
temperatures when cooking.
High temperatures and
overcooking cause egg
whites to become tough and
the protein to shrink.
Use the freshest eggs from
your refrigerator for
poaching and frying, where
shape of the cooked eggs is
important.
Use eggs that have been
stored the longest in your
refrigerator for hard-
cooking, since they peel
easier than fresh ones.
Cool hard cooked eggs in
cold running water im
mediately after cooking, to
prevent a dark layer forming
around the yolk ahd to make
peeling easier.
Purchase eggs from
refrigerated cases and store
them in the refrigerator at
home. They lose quality
rapidly at warm room
temperatures.
Store eggs large end up.
