The proposals call for the establish- ment of a voluntary nutrition labell- ing system for food products. When nutrition labelling is applied to a food, the proposals suggest a core list indicating energy value (calories), protein, fat, car- bohydrates and sodium be declared on a per serving basis under the heading "Nutrition Information". Other nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, dietary fibre and sugars may be declared if desired. vices ana products it provides." "We're just at that age, with the kids off to school, that we've got more time for community and co-op in- volvement, and this conference is a great chance for us -- together -- to learn some leadership skills."

Urged to use the library A delicious potluck luncheon preceded the regular meeting of the Exeter UCW which was chaired by Olive Thomson. Following a reading of a poem and prayer, a poem was read in memory of the late Myrtle Gunning. In giving her 'communications' report, Cora Miner urged the members to make more use of their library both for enjoyment and pro- gram material. Some upcoming events are: Ex- ecutive meeting 17, General Meeting September 22, South Huron Regional September 29 with Mrs. Walker, who has been living with the Inuit as speaker, October 6 at Pearce Williams Christian Centre, Fingal, a one -day event sponsored by the Lon- don Conference Women.

With the help of her committee Jean Pooley, Margetta Earl, Gladys Vern and Florence Finkbeiner, Marion Porter, program leader, presented a story titled " The Precious Present". The story stress- ed the truth that now is the important time, not yesterday or tomorrow. Margaret Coates played a much en- joyed medley of favorite tunes. A selection from Titus was read followed by prayer and the singing of a hymn. Marion told of the coming of her grandmother to Northern Ontario as a pioneer and the help, friendliness and trust shown to her by the natives. Alma Langford, a commissioner from London Conference to the General Council at Sudbury describ- ed the very dramatic circumstances surrounding the presentation and ac- ceptance of the apology of the United Church of Canada to the Natives, not that they had brought the gospel to them, but that the White Man's customs and creeds were the criteria for the acceptance of the natives into the Christian church. Consumer beat Continued from page 8 children have been the most common form, phooey charities can exist in many guises, employing people of all ages. Concern recently surfaced about profit-making groups selling products associated with the campaign against drunk driving in Ontario. Many con- sumers made purchases in the belief they were helping charity, but the sellers were really helping themselves. ' "It appears that, when questioned, most of these groups would admit they were in business to make money, but not enough people asked," Mit- chell says. "It's a good illustration of the point that things are not always what they seem. You could save money just by, asking, 'Is this for charity?". Always ask for the canvasser's name and address, along with that of the company involved. H you suspect the firm is operating illegally, contact local police or MCCR's investigation branch at (416) 963-0302. Remember, these groups are not generally break- ing any laws unless they falsely claim to represent a charity. A brochure on phoney charities is available from theeministry.

Marion Frayne outlined the Key to Our Success calendar which lists the daily events in the church. Requests were made for volunteers to babysit for the Time Out group and to help at Exeter Villa.

Barbara Sharpe read a poem to in- troduce her group's worship service.

Delegating work was another point Bev stressed. The group was reminded that the way it has always been done is not always the best way. Learn to know your talents and to love ourselves because God made us and Ile "doesn't make junk." If you make a mistake, don't berate yourself. Instead, search for a way to improve. Love others tnconditional- ly. You can love others even if you don't agree with what they do. Recognize something you've done well each day. God gives us the talent so we can do anything we really want to. Most people only use one-eighth of their potential. Always thank God for your talents and others. Affirming the achievements of others is important. Bea Crowe thanked Bev for her practical and inspiring message. k September 17, 1986 Page 9 TO MARRY — Mr. and Mrs. Bev Hodgins, Parkhill are pleased to announce the forthcoming mar- riage of their son Derwyn John to Elizabeth Ann Bowerman, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Gunness and the late Frederick A.
