Bill Clifford is the Reeve for the Town of Goderich and Warden of the County and also a member of the District Health Council. After Ruth Schlacht, Executive Director, introduced herself to Clifford, she was surprised that Clifford knew about Mental Health Reform is- sues. It was a conversation that both feel very strongly that infor- mation and awarenesF is important. Labelling people who have mental health problems is unfair. They are just like you and me, and they need your support and understanding. Stop the Stigma associated with mental illness and join CMHA in spreading the news. The stigma as- sociated with having a mental ill- ness can be more painful than the mental illness itself. It can prevent people from seeking help and achieving goo mental health. CMHA is celebrating a live musi- cal concert at the South Huron Sec- ondary School featuring Kim Souch's Band, Bayside Blue and the school's jazz band and choir. Tickets will be sold at the door. The concert begins at 7:30 p.m. Scouts earn badges The Flrst Exeter Scouts reached the pinnacle of success recently earning their Gold and World Conservation Badges.

By Mary Peterson Centralia correspondent CENTRALIA - The worship on Sunday, May 5 at Centralia United Church was a celebration of rural life. Did you know that: • in 1900, one farmer fed 12 peo- ple; today one farmer feeds 90? • one in every five Canadians is employed in the agriculture and food industry. in production, re- ,lee/R11, pirjcefip&.,processing, dis- tributlon or' retailing? • Canada is one of the best -fed nations in the world and has the second lowest family food bill? • Canada is one of only four na- tions that is a regular net exporter of food? • from $2.15 worth of white beans (a common crop in Huron County), the farmer received only 700. The Rural Life Committee of London Conference provided this information, along with materials for the worship service. These are important points to consider as many farmers anxiously wait for the land to dry so that they can be- gin spring seeding. Pastor Smith thanked Dave Elli- ott, Larry Skinner, and Donna Smith for decorating the church with spring plants and gardening symbols. During the children's time, she shared an apple with the children. After they enjoyed the fruit, they agreed that the core that remained was only useful for feed- ing the birds. However, Pastor Smith cut open the core to reveal the seeds that could be planted and could one day produce delicious fruit. Rob Essery read the scripture from Psalm 96 and Genesis 8:13-22 and 9:11-13. The scripture dis- cussed the animals leaving the ark after the flood, and God's promise that he would never again cover the earth with water. To seal his prom- ise, he created the rainbow. Pastor Smith's sermon was entitled "Ritu- als of Life". On Saturday, May 4, Zion United Church held their annual pancake breakfast.

Much effort is being put into gene research to find genetic causes for certain diseases. Research is currently being done to find a gene that controls whether a person gets asthma or not. When we cook spaghetti, we make it "al dente", tender but slightly hard to the bite. Vegetables should be cooked in the same manner. Slightly cooked veggies (steamed or microwaved) preserve the nutri- ents much more than overcooking. Arthritis drugs like ASA can be hard on the stomach. Alcohol taken with these drugs can intensify the stomach irritation and cause intestinal bleeding. Use caution when using alcohol while on medication.
