Just slow down, Jane Devries of Brussels seems to be telling a ball during play at the Brussels Lawn Bowling Club’s Trebles tournament on Saturday. Marjorie McNall of Blyth seems to be thinking the shot is just too good. No big insurance jump for Blyth Council this year The enormous increases in the cost of liability insurance for municipalities seem to be over for this year at least, Blyth village was told at its July meeting. David Reed of Frank Cowan Insurance and local agents Rick and John Elliott of Elliott Insur ance made their annual presenta tion to council regarding the insurance coverage for village owned property as well as insur ance covering the Public Utilities Commission and Recreation Com mittee. “Some semblance of sense has come back into the insurance industry,” Mr. Reid said. He said his company does not anticipate any substantial increase in costs in the next while. This year, for in stance, if the village keeps its same liability insurance level the cost willbeuplessthanoneper cent. The only adjustment on last years coverage, he said, was on increasing the value of munici pally-owned buildings from $2.6 to $2.8 million. He made two recom mendations for change in cover age. The one he was most concerned about was liability coverage saying he felt it would be wise to move from a $7 million policy to one covering up to $10 million. His other recommenda tion was that the value placed on the village office building be increased from $75,000 to$150,000 because, he said, it would be difficult for the village, if there was a fire, to tear down the old building and build a new one for less than that. After the delegation left, council decided it did not agree with increasing the liability coverage. Reeve Albert Wasson expressed the opinion that the more coverage a municipality has, the higher the claim for damages. The additional coverage would have cost $800. After some discussion the coun cil did agree to increase coverage on the municipal office to $150,000 at an additional cost of about $80. Final approval of the new insurance policy will be left until after the Blyth and District Com munity Centre Board has had a chance to look at the recommenda tions for coverage at the commun ity centre and arena.

SUNSAFETY Moderation is the key to safe sunbathing - along with some well-planned protection against the ultraviolet rays which are responsible for sunburn, long term skin damage, and skin cancer. When buying a sunscreen product, look for a SPF (Sun Protection Factor) rating on the package. SPF ratings range from two (minimum protection) to 17 or more (maximum protection). Low- SPF products can be used by people who tan quickly and never burn. Fair-skinned people and others who burn easily should choose high-SPF products of 15 or more for individuals who always burn and never develop a protec tive tan,and aSPF or 8 to 14 for those who burn easily, but do tan gradually. HEAT HAZARDS Hot weather can lead to heat exhaustion or to a much more serious problem - heat stroke. During hot weather be sure to replace the liquid lost by your body in the form of perspiration by drinking plenty of water, fruit juice orotherwater-based liquids sever al times a day. Y ou might also add a little salt to your glass of water periodically during very hot weath er. Heat cramps and/or dizzy spells may be a sign of heat exhaustion and that means the body’s cooling system is overtaxed. In this case, get out of the sun, rest, and drink fluids. A more serious effect of too much sunshine is heatstroke. If the body temperature rises, with accompanying headache, nausea, and/or vomitting, it’s time to call a doctor. Meanwhile try to get the body temperature down with cold baths or by wrapping in cold towels. DON’T HOLD THE MAYO I People are sometimes uneasy about eating chicken salad, potato salad and similar dishes at summer pinics because they’ve heard the foods made with mayonnaise are the ones most likely to cause food poisoning. However, scientists have shown that adding mayon naise to a food does not make it more dangerous. Foods containing mayonnaise may actually be slight ly safer because the acid in mayonnaise slows the growth of the bacteria that causes food poisoning. Mixed foods like chic ken salad, probably got their bad reputation simply because they undergo a lot of handling during preparation, and this can contami nate them with bacteria. Also, bacteria will multiply rapidly in non-acid foods such as chicken, meat, milk, and eggs when storage conditions are poor. While the ‘ * mayonnaise theory” has been shown to be a myth, food poisoning itself is no myth and no joke - ask anyone who’s experienc ed it. To prevent bacterial food poisoning, the basic rule is to keep hot foods hot and cold foods cold. If you’re carrying hamburgers or other raw meat for a cook out, they should be stored in a cooler, but kept separately from other foods. Uncooked meats contain relatively large numbers of bacteria, some of which are harmful. Cooking will kill these bacteria, making the meat safe to eat. However, these bacteria can cause problems if they have contaminated other foods such as salads which don’t receive further cooking before being eaten. |X)to(z)it’s AD in the CLASSIFIEDS Snell’s Grocery Limited BLYTH 523-9332 OPEN TUES.-SAT. 9-6 Meat MARY MILES “DELI SLICED COOKED HAM J 9 LB.1.99 Grocery REDPATH FINE GRANULATED WHITE SUGAR_______2 KG.
