Elaine Townshend, presi dent of Alpha, found that community and social ser vices at Wingham have 50 and 36 persons in south and north Huron respectively, who have this need. Added to this are 25 to 30 who suffer from heart ailments that make stair-climbing hazar dous. This includes only the people who are registered with C&S Services. Dean Mellway, of the March of Dimes at Kitchener, said that 2.8% of the population of Ontario has some disability. Mr. Mellway attended a recent meeting of “ALPHA HURON” (Awareness League for Physically Han dicapped Adults) to acquaint the members with the in volvements of an awareness day program. The Kitchener branch of the March of Dimes hopes to hold such a day in Goderich early in the new year. Officers elected for 1979 are: president Pat Watson, vice-president Bruce Scott, treasurer Elaine Townshend, lunch convener Bessie Townshend, secretary Phyllis Cox. ALPHA Huron meets next at 8 p.m., January 23 in Clin ton Public School. Odds 'n ends Christmas simple in Kenya THE CLIPPER UNISEX NOW OPEN PERMS - $5.00 off till the end of Dec. OPEN took the opportunity to give them more nutritional food than they would probably receive during the rest of the vacation. On Christmas Day, stiff porridge and roasted meat, tea and sweets were served. The teacher wrote: “This probably sounds like very little compared to what you are accustomed to eating at Christmas dinner, but for the children brought up in a different way, it was something delicious and special, They enjoyed the Christmas meal for the decorations and carols.” "They took part in all the ways to make Christmas enjoyable to the whole com- munity. They were happy to have made their poorer brothers feel the benefits of Christmas and the joy to be loved.” What better way to sum up Christmas in Kenya, in Canada and around the world?

The children sang carols and participated in many of the traditions we are ac customed to. The only ac tivity that surprised me was being able to play football on a bare, dry field the day before Christmas. All the sponsors sent extra money for gifts, and it was used to buy food for the Christmas “feast.” The Home was able to purchase three goats, maize flour, tea leaves, sugar, milk and sweets.

A few weeks ago I men tioned that I have been cor responding with a foster child in Kenya sponsored by the ladies’ group at our church. While reading his letters for that column, I found one written in January 1978 in which he described how he spent last Christmas. He lives at a Children’s Home, while attending school. The month of December was a school holi day in Kenya, ane most of the children spent the time with their nomadic families. The children, who had no families, remained at the Centre, and the ones, who lived close to the Home, returned for two or three .days to spend Christmas time with their friends and teachers. Ten-year-old Saloi wrote: “I attended a night and a day service.” (I presume he meant a Christmas Eve and a Christmas Day service.) <lThe church was beautiful,” he continued, ‘‘because it was decorated very much.” (Unfortunately he didn’t tell me what was used for the decorations.) “I sang carols together with the other children, and I was happy to be with them. I had meals at the Centre for two days before I went home.” He didn’t mention the weather, but judging from his other letters, I imagine it was hot and dry. In a separate letter, one of the staff members wrote to the sponsors to explain in greater detail how the children spent Christmas. The holiday in Kenya was filled with excitement similar to what we ex perience in Canada.

Perhaps there is something to be done about it, before you put on extra pounds. The food specialists at the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food suggest you consider carefully how much and what you are eating. During the holiday season it is hard to resist sampling all sorts of high-calorie festive foods both at home and away from home. If you overdo it, you’ll regret those extra pounds come January. Moderation is the best ap proach. In between the holiday get-togethers, try your best to avoid eating rich foods. Whenever you feel like snacking, stop and think about the food you’re reaching for. Is it nutritious or just filled with calories? Instead of snacking on candy or chocolate which have very little food value, reach for satisfying but nutritious foods. There’s plenty to choose from. For example, consider snacking on apples, fruit juice, raw vegetables, vegetable juice, whole wheat bread, crackers or muffins, cottage cheese, eggnog or yogurt. Make a conscious effort to choose the foods you eat this holiday season wisely. By avoiding high now, you can pounds later.
