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.

The next meeting will be held March 24 one week late to accommodate Father Smith who will speak on the Huron Church Camp.

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. CELEBRATE ANNIVERSARY - Hugh and Annie (Coleman) Morenz, of Shipka area, recently celebrated their 40th wed- ding anniversary.

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. DID YOU KNOW?
