Home My WebLink AboutThe Brussels Post, 1979-01-31, Page 16Huron County Council agreed Friday to spend $63,000 to get meals to residents of Huronview, the Pity the orange county home for the aged. Council's committee of management of Huronview recommended to counci 'that the food delivery system at the institution required modernization. That jmodernization basicaly meant that the committee did away with meals on wheels adn arranged for a new and more efficient method of getting meals from the kitchen to the residents. Huronview administrator Chester Archibald told council that the decision to upgrade the food delivery system was made out of necessity. He said the meals on wheels unit, which is basically a large wheeled unit capable of holding a large number of food trays while keeping the food hot, was at the end of its road and had to be replaced. He said the mainistry of community and social services refused to sanction purchaed of another meals on wheel sunit the smae as the one now in use because they are no longer on the market and parts for repairs for the units are very difficult, if not impossible, to get. Archibald said the type of units the ministry was pushing the staff of Huron- view didn't like and so had investigated a number of systems available. He said the one chosen had the approval of the ministry and fit right into the Huronview system. Archibald also told council that as of November 1978 the number of long term ex- tended care beds at Huronj- view had been increased by 15. He said the increase now brings the total number of long term care beds to 171 or 55 percent of the beds at Huronview. The remaining 45 percent is made up of residential beds which have been reduced to 139.

Cost up '25 county decides Inflation has hit the cost of severing your property. Huron County council approved a $25 increase to the cost of approved severances Friday which means that the total cost of getting a severance will now be $125. The county's land division committee recommended to council that the extra $25 be tacked on the cost of an approved severance to help offset administrative costs the county has in processing land divisions. The administrative portion of the severance will now be $75. Girvin Reed, chairman of the land division committee, told council that an application for severance will still be $50. He explained that anyone wishing a severance applies to the land division committee for approval and pays $50 with that application. If the application is approved an extra $75 is tacked on and the severance processed. Reed said unapproved severances will not cost more in 1979. It still costs $50 to be told no. Pity the poor orange. Everybody loves it but no- body wants to squeeze it. That paradox is the basis of a multimillion-dollar business known as the orange juice industry. North Americans seem to want their morning start-up fluid in anything but its natural container. We buy it frozen, canned, bottled or cartoned. We even buy imitations. But we seldom buy the real thing. And there's one good reason--it's too expensive. It would cost more than twice as much to squeeze your morning juice from fresh oranges. So we're faced with a myriad of manufactured orange beverages, many of them claiming to deliver the same taste and nutritional value as fresh-squeezed orange juice. To help us make an educated choice among these products, Con- sumer and Corporate Affairs Canada has compiled some facts and figures. The most important nutrient in orange juice is Vitamin C (or ascorbic acid). Health and Welfare Canada says the average person needs 30 milligrams daily of this essential vitamin, children under seven years of age need 20 mg. and pre- gnant and lactating women need 50 to 60 mg re- spectively. This vitamin be- comes less active when ex- posed to heat, light or air. Not all orange juices provide the same amount of Vitamin C. The frozen con- centrates usually give you the most for your money. Orange flavor crystals do not contain orange juice, nor will they make orange juice when you add water.

Although many brands contain Vitamin C, the other nutrients that naturally occur in orange juice, such as potassium, iron and thiamin, are not there. Ounce for ounce, un- sweetened orange juice con- tains about the same number of calories as many carbonated soft drinks. Sweetened juices, of course, contain many more calories. Reconstituted orange juice is made from a concentrate.
