As I write, we are still feeling the effects of what some people are calling the worst blizzard since 1971. Little did we know w that we would not have to travel north to experience the Arctic. The Arctic winds blew right down to us. Isn't this fun? By the time 1 got home from work, about five o'clock on Friday evening, I knew something was headed our way. I was content to spend the weekend safe and warm in the apartment. In fact, I accomplished quite a bit. I wrote columns; I cleaned the apartment in a hit-and-miss fashion; I even cooked meals and washed dishes willingly. As long as I kept busy, I could almost ignore the wind that was howling and the snow that was creeping up around the rowhouse. By Sunday afternoon, the windows were either frosted over or covered with snow that had built up on the outside ledges. The kitchen window, however, had one treat it was to see a hydro pole again. Between snowy gusts I could even see that the houses were still across Odds 'n ends By Elaine Townshend clear corner at the top, and if I peered through at a certain angle, I could see snow whipping past the street light. How reassuring! By Monday morning, I admit I was getting a little squirrelly - for lack of a better word. Claustrophobia was setting in. What a welcome sound it was to hear a shovel at the front door. My neighbour had crawled out his kitchen window to free us from our snowy prison. He also swept the snow from the windows. What a Say seniors must watch their diet The sociological impact of the growing proportion of elderly persons in Canada cannot be underestimated. It is forecasted that by 1991, people in the age group over 65 will represent 11.1 percent of the population, up from 8.7 percent in 1979. The elderly are par- ticularly vulnerable to the effects of inflation. Because of their limited income and the spiralling price of food, they must shop wisely. In choosing foods, they must strike a balance between their economic situation and their nutritional needs. The results of Nutrition Canada's national survey in 1975 revealed that, in general, the elderly had a shortage of calcium, thiamine and folate in their diet. In addition, their intake of vitamin A and iron was found to be marginal. The survey also detected certain trends; Tri the food habits of the elderly. It was found that they consumed ap- proximately 80 percent of their caloric intake at their three daily meals, and that, all too often, bread, cereals and potatoes accounted for a substantial portion of their diet. Overweight is also a problem. The energy needs of an elderly person decline because of reduced physical activity and a slowdown in body functions. But their nutrient requirements for protein, vitamins, and minerals remain the same as for a younger adult. Therefore, elderly people must watch their diet and be more selective. Canada's Food Guide is the key to successful nutrition. For a balanced diet, it is best to choose a variety of _ foods Save silas. Save time. Shop Shaklee.

Canada's Food Guide shows how to correct dietary deficiences. The milk and milk products group is particularly important for women aged 65 and over, since they frequently have a shortage of calcium in their diet. To control overweight, the minimum amount of the recommended servings from each of the four groups should be eaten. Avoid cakes, cookies, pastries, candies, and sugar in tea or coffee. Limit the intake of butter and margarine. It is better to roast, broil or poach foods. This will reduce eating fried foods, a con- centrated source of kilocalories (kilojoules).

Proper nutrition is as important at retirement age as at the toddler stage. By following the recom- mendations of Canada's Food Guide, and watching their level of physical ac- tivity, the elderly can im- prove their quality of life. Salads are stII possible The arrival of cold weather in Ontario is no reason to give up crisp, refreshing salads. And it isn't necessary to rely on im- ported produce; there are still plenty of fresh Ontario vegetables to choose from. Carrots and rutabagas are very versatile for winter salads. Shred then add mayonnaise and mix a few crunchy apple pieces to make a delicious salad. Cut fingers of raw carrot and rutabaga. arrange on a platter • and serve . with a creamy dip or cook rutabaga and carrot fingers until crisp. then marinate in a tangy oil and vinegar dress- ing. ' Try potato salad served hot. for cold wintry days. Mix together hot. cooked potatoes. mayonnaise dress- ing. raw onions and cooked bacon. Serve warm with spicy processed meats for a quick and tasty meal. Onions can perk up many different salads, or make a tasty salad on their own, too. Thinly slice onions into a vinegar and herb mixture and marinate for a few hours. It makes a tasty side dish for hot meats and cold cuts. Winter salads are simple to make with fresh Ontario vegetables available throughout the winter months. `the Z ack %oom '' 0 UNISEX HAIRSTYLINGS By Jo Anne Simmons 423 Main St., Exeter Ont. 235-0454 the street, and protruding from the snowdrift in front of the apartment was six inches of my car's antenna. • In the afternoon, I was typing when I suddenly noticed something strange was happening. Snow was no longer beating against the windows, and the wind was no longer howling around, the building. Snow was still falling densely but now it was coming almost straight down. Later something' yen stranger happened - the snow stopped. Digging out has begun in earnest, but it will be awhile before things return to normal. Everytime a few flakes fall or a puff of wind blows clumps of 3 -now from branches, I can't help wondering if it's starting again. Is this just a pause between Arctic blasts? No one can say that life here in the Great White North is predictable or boring, but, I for one, have had enough of the Arctic experience to last the rest of the winter. .ii w v OUT FOR A STROLL - There were no dosses at South Huron District High School on Monday, so teacher Bruce Perry and his wife Shirley of Edward Street decided to take a walk through what was a winter wonderland.
