Odds in ends
By ELAINE TOWNSHEND
Someone mentioned the
1981 licence stickers, are
green. That will match the
colour I turn every year
about this time. when I hand
over my $45 and get that
itsy-bitsy sticker in return. I
symathize with the
motorists that pay more and
envy those that pay -less.
Granted the sticker is a
$45 worth of green
good idea. Not having to
replace the licence plate
every year makes a lot of
sense. It also saves frost-
bitten fingers.
Once the sticker is in my
possession I'm overcome by
anxieties. What if I lose it
between the office and the
car? What if it blows away?
What if it doesn't stay on?
They're silly worries, of
course, but until that $45
worth of green is safely and
firmly in place, I'll feel un-
easy.
I'll avoid the issue as long
as I can and probably end up
in a last-minute line. Heck,
I've got days left - hours;
anyway. Usually in

Park gave a very in-
teresting, informative,

February I'm happy to see
anything green, but in this
case. I can wait.
Oh well. buying the new
licence stickers breaks up
the monotony of winter. We
can all think of more plea-
sant ways to do it, but we
have no choice.
We can shock ourselves
out of winter complacency
just by opening our heating
bills.
The effects of my
February bill may turn me
blue. The bills have been
making steady monthly
jumps. which I expected, but
I wasn't prepared for the
February leap: After noting
the amount due, I turned
down the thermostats and
hauled out more blankets.
I'm determined to try to at
least "hold that line" for the
rest of the winter.
I could warn visitors to
wear heavy sweaters, but
they're probably accustomed
to it. Everyone seems to be
experiencing the same thing.
It's just another part of
our Canadian winter, and we
hardy Canadians can cer-
tainly handle it.
I believe we should try to
find something positive in
every situation. It took me
awhile, but I finally thought
of a good point for the storm
that confined me to the
apartment two weeks ago.
The cabin fever was
tolerable, and the longer my
car stayed off the road, the
longer I could avoid the gas
station. This soothed the bad
case of gas -a -pump -a -phobia
that I've noticed developing
over the past six months.
The winter white -outs also
kept me away from the
grocery store add those cash
register tapes. It must be
my imagination, but the
shopping bag seems to be
getting smaller. After every
spree. I'm determined to
shop more wisely. I'll turn
away from the goodies that
make my mouth drool and
buy only the practical items.
The best things in life are
still free. and it's a good job,
because we certainly pay for
the necessities.
Now don't get me wrong. I
know Canada is a great
country and Canadians are
much better off than the
people of many other lands.
Complaining is just a tool
some of us use to pass the
time in these mid -winter
doldrums.
Returning to the subject of
green. after the green
sticker is firmly placed on
my plate at the end of
February. I'll look forward
to St. Patrick's Day. When
the green of March passes,
the green of spring can't be
far behind.

Give the budget ,
a needed break
Many people are finding it
difficult to stretch food
dollars these days. Changing
shopping and eating habits
may help solve this problem.
Since the meat group takes
the largest percentage of the
grocery dollar, food and
nutrition specialists with the
Ontario Ministry of
Agriculture and Food
suggest occasionally using
more economical alter-
natives.
Eggs, milk and cheese are
ideal for dinner when served
in souffles, omelettes,
quiches, and casseroles such
as macaroni and cheese.
Animal sources including
melt, fish, poultry, milk, -
cheese and eggs provide the
complete protein which our
bodies need. Plant sources
contain incomplete protein
and it Is neccessary to
combine 'two of the three
main categories of plant
protein in the same meal to
make this form complete.
The first category is
grains: wheat, rye, barley,
oats, corn, rice, triticale and
any flour or meal made from
them. The second group is
legumes: dried peas, dried
beans, especially soybeans,
and lentils. The third in-
cludes nuts and seeds.
Baked beans and bread,
noodles topped with sesame
seeds, bread and peanut
butter, corn tacos and
refried beans are examples
of plant products combined
to give high-quality, com-
plete protein. There is no
shortage of cookbooks
containing recipes for this
type of meal preparation.
The idea of dinner without
meat does not appeal to
everyone. Still, if it is
necessary to reduce grocery
bills, occasionally try dishes
featuring milk, eggs, and
cheese or combined plant
protein.
