Helen MacLean read from a De- cember 8 1941 Globe and Mail, a piece referring to Kippen East Women's Institute members and their families, when a party of 70 enjoyed a delicious chicken dinner! Charlotte McDowell introduced the guest speaker to us, who hap- pened to be her granddaughter -in-law Maryanne Smith. Mrs. Smith teaches at the Stratford Campus Ir School of Nursing. She was a Sea - forth high school graduate and trained at St. Joseph's Hospital. Maryanne spoke to us about osteo- porosis, steoporosis, menopause, and problems with lack of potassium. - Maryanne stressed that osteoporo- sis is a silent type of disease. High doses of calcium, 1500 mgs. daily, could help. Vitamin D also helps. Broccoli, oysters, clams and sar- dines are all high in calcium. We were warned to stay away from alcohol and excess coffee, ad- vised to keep walking every day. As far as lack of potassium goes we must eat oranges and bananas. Maryanne was thanked by Rena Caldwell and presented with a gift as token of our appreciation. Hilda Payne quizzed our brains with a very interesting contest to find the hidden birds. Courtesy re- marks were given by Helen MacL- ean. Mona Alderdice introduced her guest, Jennifer Oulton, who is in- terested in becoming a member.

The next session begins in January. Aerobics Open House The Bodyfit aerobics course in Ilcnsall is over for the year, but most participants are eager to begin the second session in January. Instructor Cindy Reabum consid- ers the eight-week class an immense success and believes the friendly at- mosphere of the class made it an en- joyable experience for everybody. "I didn't think I'd like it, but I do," said Laura Wright, who expect- ed to miss a few classes. However, she found herself searching for ba- bysitters so she could attend every week. "It's good for getting rid of tension too." All the ladies in the class claimed improvements in their flexibility. Some can now touch their noses to their knees, but perhaps of more importance is Reaburn's perception of a happier disposition among the class members. An open house marked the second last class to which the public was invited to participate or just watch. About 10 or 11 people joined in, including four men. Conspicuous by their absence were representatives from the Hen- sall Parks Board, the sponsors of the aerobics program. "I think Cindy was quite disap- pointed," observed Ansberth Wil- lem, Parks Board secretary and aero- bics participant. Willert attributed much of this ycar's success of the fitness class to the decision of the Parks Board to take responsibility for renting the hall, leaving the instructor free to teach the class. Reabum is taking names for the January session and, if enough in- terest is shown, may even offer two classes: one for beginners and one for more advanced levels of fitness. She can be contacted at 262-3102. Men are welcome to sign up, and Reaburn says some have done so al- ready. The hour-long routine will be slightly modified for the men to complement their different phy- siques. "It's doing something productive. It's not sitting at home watching TV," said Beth Jantzi chimingin with the rest of the class in recom- mending aerobics to everyone. "Everybody should try it. f think it's fun," said Barb Smith. one Hensall Arena Events Wed.
