Harvest is theme of celebration
GODERICH - If you are look-
ing for a night of good hearted
fun with square dancing, country
music and a great pie contest,
mark Saturday, November 20 on
your calendar. The Huron Com-
munity Garden is celebrating a
successful harvest with a Square-
dance Hoedown and Pie Extrava-
ganza at the Knights of Columbus
Hall in Goderich.
A similar event was held this
spring and was a resounding suc-
cess. The Glenelg Full Moon
Country. Dance Band will be pro-
viding the music and Lorraine
Sutton will be the square dance
caller. "Bring the whole family
out" says Jim Hollingworth, "It
will be a fun night for everyone".
Everyone is encouraged to bake
a pie -to eater into the pie contest.
"We have kept the admission fee
low, just $6 per person or $10 per
family" says Bev Budd, "So we
hope to make enough to cover all
our costs by selling pieces of the
pies after they are judged." There
will be prizes and awards for best
pies, best costumes, and other sur-
prise awards.
nWesven..lmwrt.uaptial pie cat-
egory for the kids" explains Bob
Budd, "a left -over pastry face."
This Hoedown will be a family
event so everyone is invited to
bring along kids and parents.
The party starts at 7:30 with
some special events for kids like
apple bobbing and fare -painting.
Since we are an environmentally
conscious group, we are encour-
aging people to "lug -a -mug".
There will be a discount price on
coffee and cider for those with
akar own mug. The Hoedown
will be a "no -booze event".
The Huron Community Garden
is located south of Goderich at the
fans of Bev and Bob Budd. Hav-
ing completed its fourth season,
the garden has an open member-
ship to anyone who is interested
in having a supply of organicall)1
grown vegetables. Through the
cost of a garden share, members
share the expense of seeds, equip-
ment and gardener's wages. As
Valerie Bolton explains "It is not
only about supporting local agri-
culture, but about gaining a sense
of community spirit that comes
from working and have fun to=
gether."

ciety is working to raise $312,000
across the county. This is the

It's true. Over the course of a year, a natural gas high -efficiency furnace can heat the
average home for as little as $1.55* a day. That's less than you'd pay for a pet goidfish
and a modest home for him to live in.On,any scale you choose to measure it,
natural gas is still your most economical fuel choice. And, that's no fish story!
In fact, it can save you hundreds of dollars a year, compared to oil and •
electricity. Gall Union Gas today, and ask about money -saving

Capsule Comments
with Ernie Miatello
We often hear of RSI (Repetitive Stress Injury), in-
volving wrists, elbows, shoulders and knees. With
the popularity of stair -climbing as a way of keeping
fit, doctors are seeing more cases of "stair -
climber's feet"... a numbing and tingling of the feet
due to pressure on certain foot nerves. As many as
39% of stair -climbers experience this malady.
Asthma affects 525,000 Canadian adults. Cost to society tops 8600
million per year (including medical costs and lost wages clue to work ab-
sences). Average cost can be as high as $13,500 per year for a severe,
poorly -controlled asthmatic.
Many prescriptions that doctors write are not filled. If you don't have
your prescription filled, tell your doctor, so your medical record is accu-
rate. It could also have an effect on your doctor's planning of future
treatment.
Medical dictionary: "Hypokinesis" means lack of motion... a syndrome
that affects many people (sometimes called "couch potatoes) resulting
In that 'ache all over feeling". The solution Is to exercise to restore cir-
culation and strengthen muscles and lubricate Joints. You'll feel better
mentally, too!
If you are using more than one eye drop medication, for best results,
it's best to wait 4-5 minutes between the two medications.
