Since we still hay a supply of grapefruit on hand from our trip south, this is a inexpensive cold remedy, too As usual, my cure worked. Victor managed to get over his cold in just a short time, with only a cough as a reminder. Unfortunately, it didn't work for me. I got the cold. I guess I ate so much grapefruit it failed to have any effect. By the time I developed the stuffy nose, I decided to move on to cold remedy number two. Chicken soup. Unfor- tunately, I discovered that Lipton Cup -a -soup just doesn't have the same healing properties as the good homemade stuff. By this time, I had it bad. There was nothing to do but resort to the medicine cabinet. Out came the Con- tact C, the Dristan and the Dimetapp. Yes, we had all three - we used to be firm believers in Contact C until it seemed to be losing its effect. Victor went back to Dristan, while I tried Dimetapp. This time, I tried all three - not all at the same time, of course. I just moved from one to the other as each wore off. Next, I pulled out the hot lemon bedtime drink mix- tures. Again, I've tried them all over the course of the past winter. While Neo-Citran is probably the best for clearing your head and letting you get a good night's sleep, it also makes it very difficult to get up the next morning and lfind I'm groggy until noon. And then there's the Halls - those little square cough drops that not rinlysoothe your throat - the little pretty blue ones will clear your nose, too.

The pharmacists n warn that this or that cold e cure cannot be mixed with another. I once asked a n university friend whose father was in medical research why they hadn't discovered a cure for the common cold. "Because no . one," she pointed out to me, "ever died of the simple com- mon cold." It just makes you feel like you're dying. Actually it justoccurred to me that the only way to get t rid of a cold, is to give it away. Any takers? (I offered it to our dog, Pep- t per, but I can't tell if he has it. His nose is always wet.) Roy and Hazel Broad, of Grand Cove, have returned home after an 18 -day holiday in Weslaco, Texas, where they visited Hazel's sister and brother-in-law Mr. and Mrs. Joe Fuller.

Glucose crucial to physics/ health The importance of glucose in the bloodstream is such that too much or too little can cause symptoms of poor health, according to Eileen Gottschall, a lecturer in nutrition teaching a class in Grand Bend. Continuing her series at the For Goodness Sake store Monday night, Gottschall said diabetics show very high levels of glucose in their blood because they cannot produce their own insulin, which originates in the pancreas. At the other extreme, a hypoclycemic has too little glucose and shows fatigue and lack of energy. Some psychiatric patients may in fact be suffering from low glucose and could be properly diagnosed if a simple blood test was taken, Gottschall said. Some steps to prevent oblems with :lucase are reducing excessive weight, eating whole food to help slow down . glucose ab- sorption, and getting enough food fibre to reduce symp- toms of high glucose. The second part of the lecture concentrated on genes, of which the body has about 100,000. Each of the body's cells has 98 chromosonet , which in- cludes numerous genes. Genes are responsible for thousands of minute func- tions of the body such as digestion, body growth and height, the five senses, and other processes which are chemical in nature. Genetic deficiencies can appear in very small forms such as a person's sense of taste. A sample group may be given some sugar and asked to describe its taste, Gottschall said, and a small minority will actually say it tastes bitter. WE FOUND SOME — Cameron Page and Julie Uniac show the eggs they found in a wagon wheel at the Lambton Heritage Museum, Saturday. The Easter egg hunt was sponsored by the Grand Bend Optimists.T-A photo Differences in genes sometimes parallels dif- ferences in race, she said, resulting in biochemical differences, for example. The result is that different races can handle different foods because of years of adaptation. Even on a more Local level, something like a widespread warning against using cholesterol is un- scientific because each of us is different in the amount we can safely use. A normal person has 46 chromosones per cell, 23 of which have been supplied by each of the two parents. Bank to restore site of fire The Bank of Montreal is still collecting tenders on cleaning up the site of the ruined Village Inn on Main Street, according to bank manager Dusan Novak. As of late last week, the branch has received three tenders to clean up the site for re -sale, he said, and the deci- sion to award the job will be made jointly with the credit deparment of the Bank's divi- sional office in London. Tenders were solicited begin- ning March 26. Novak has previously ap- peared before village council and agreed thatthe site could be leased to the village as parking space. The Chamber of Commerce has also shown interest in using the space. Fire mashall Art Laing finished his investigation two weeks ago and could not pin- point the cause of the fire which destroyed the two- storey structure early in the morning of March 7. The hotel -restaurant has been empty for about a year. Known for economy Wood stoves popular A Grand Bend area coupwith e's theirwood stovepy lence has inspired them to go into business selling .these ef- ficient, simple -o -use home heating units, and it sub- sequently led to a part- nership with another village man. Halina and Keith Crawford of Parkview Crescent, and Garry Desjardine of Grand Bend were so impressed with their Lakewood stoves that they eventually teamed up to become the area retailers for the small Bobcaygeon, Ontario firm last fall. Prlor to that, the Crawfords had sold stoves for a year from a small store on Main street. "We realized there was no retailer in this area, so we decided we could do It ourselves," Halina said. "We spoke to the manufacturer and got his permission to be' his representative." Desjardine approached the Crawfords last .fall and indicated his desire to get into the business and help share the workload. Keith Crawford teaches at South Huron High School in Exeter. Garry Desjardine is an equipment operator for the Ministry of Transportation and Com- munications just north of the village. Since that time, "The Sweeps" have sold and in- stalled some 20 units in Southcott. Pines alone, with fewer going into homes elsewhere in the village. Business has grown, Mrs. Crawford noted, largely because of reputation and customer satisfaction. Very little advertising is needed to reach interested buyers, and it wasn't long before the four novice merchants decided business could just as easily be carried out from their homes. Gory and Keith now Inspect homes,' advise on stove size and style, make arrangements for any necessary chimney rebuilding, and clean chimneys when requested. "We try to emphasize the need for safety when getting a stove. It's important to get a quality unit which is then correctly installed, and we try to discourage using glass. doors," Mrs. Crawford said. She felt that accidents and fires could be traced back to faulty installation or a bad chimney. Sales have been lost over this principle, she said, simply because not all the safety criteria could be met. 1 "We won't sell a stove if the chimney is not lined - properly," she said. A potential hazard from burning wood is creosote, an oily, flammable deposit caused by green wood or low tem ratures. According to •Desjardine, heat -resistant clay flue tiles are required by the stove manufacturer to be in the chimney. Don Labelle, a local bricklayer, is usually hired to rebuild a customer's chimney with the tiles. Burning only dry hard wood such as oak, ash and maple at 500 degrees will minimize the emission of creosote. The Crawfords have found that many customers have prepared themselves well by learning much about wood stoves before deciding to buy. Desjardine also con- firmed that many customers already have experience in heating with wood or are trying to replace an inferior brand of stove. Fireplace inserts seem to be especially in demand, he said. a good. buyers are Ironically, proportion of salaried, middle-elass professionals who can well afford to pay for their former heating system. DesjardIne. describes par t of the reason to their sense of nostlilgia, wanting to gather and cut their own wood, or simply, deep satisfaction with the stove's performance. Crawford and Desjardine routinely inspect a customer's home to assess his heating needs and the house's physical layout. Without this step, some people can easily overestimate the size of stove they need. The only options are an ash apron, screen, a tool kit consisting of a poker and shovel-, a thermostat, and a brass decoration kit. Desjardine said the cheapest Lakewood unit starts at 1500 while the premium model goes for 1700. The wood stove's secret of success is restricting the air flow up the chimney, Desjardine said. Instead of letting the hot air rush freely up out of the house after passing over the flames, the stove admits air only through small adjustable dampers which tend to prolong the burning time. Heat is radiated in all directions through the firebricks and the steel wall, resulting in an efficiency rate of 70 to 80 percent, compared to 10 percent for a fireplace. The buying season is over now and will not resume until the fall, Mrs. Crawford said. The Bobcaygeon plant is trying to keep up with rising demand,and local delivery time has increased from a week to 30 days, but buyers typically wait until there is snow on the ground before thinking of ordering, she said.
