by Pat Livingston
Two years of planning will come
to fruition in August when three
area Rangers and two leaders em-
bark upon a two week trip`to Swit-
zerland.
The destination of Alesha Moffat,
Sheila Moir, Kerry Hill, Jennifer
Dierolf and Vicky Piluke is the
World Guiding Centre "Our Chalet"
located in Adelboden, Canton Bern.
.The chalet is surrounded by moun-
tains and is a 30 -minute walk uphill
from the village.
Our Chalet is the first Guide
World Centre built and was opened
in 1932. It was built with money
donated. by Helen Storrow, an
American who was chairman of. the
World Committee at that time. Mrs.
Storrow chose Switzerland for its
tranquility and beauty.
The facility contains dormitories,
a library, living room and kitchen.
Furnishings were donated by Guide
associations from around the world.
Today, Our Chalet, which can ac-
commodate 30 people, is used as an
international meeting place for
anyone associated with Girl
Guides/Girl Scouts.
The out -door program includes
hiking and exploring the mountains..
The girls • will also learn some
handcrafts from around the world.
• The group has been busy raising
funds towards the trip, through
events such as tables at the Lions
bingos, catering, selling Avon,
Tupperware and gift baskets; and
hosting a car wash. The cost per
person is $2,500.
On Saturday, they were involved
with the pancake breakfast at Luck -
now Farm Supply on the occasion
of its fifth anniversary. In June they
will be busy cleaning up at Sum-
merfest and assisting the Kinettes in
the kitchen.
The desire to travel and visit
another country, as well as meet
other girls of the same age ;cage
(16 - 18), will be fulfilled when Cis
group heads to 'Switzerland in
August.
The Lucknow Rangers and leaders have been busy raising
funds for a two week trip to Switzerland this August. Last
Saturday they dished up pancakes and sausage at the Lucknow
Farm Supply's 5th anniversary. Shown are Sheila Moir, Jennifer
Dierolf (leader), Alesha Moffat, and Vicky Piluke (leader). Kerry
Hill 'was absent. (Pat Livingston photo)
The debate on use of raw milk
A legal battle' is underway in rural
Ontario about the consumption of
raw, unpasteurized 'milk.: Michael
Schmidt has been charged under the
Health Protection Act and will be
charged under the Milk Act. The
ongoing debate about, the legality
makes it very difficult to understand
the issue as a whole," says Schmidt.
According to Schmidt the use of
raw milk and its distribution in
Ontario is most likely more:
widespread than it is admitted by
officials at the Health Department
and the Ministry of Agriculture and
Food. Through •a unique lease -a -
cow agreement, Schmidt offers an
alternative to the present un-
regulated, illegal distribution of raw
•milk:
When pasteurization was.
introduced, it helped reduce sig-
nificantly the number of people
infected with tuberculosis and
brucellosis. Since then, the dairy
industry developed high sanitary
standards in the production of milk
which was not available at that
time. •
"Now, the consumer awareness
and concern about food safety has
shifted towardsi quality of the
product itself. Since the debate
started in February this year, many
people realized suddenly that the.
milk is ra?ore than just a health
issue, says Schmidt. "Milk has
suddenly becorite a political issue."
Two public meetings will give .the
' opportunity to those interested to
