Ahhou h Agde.rsomecomme1)4s in their voyages to the far-flung outposts of the Empire, had dis- covered how to ward off scurvy. This unpleasant disease, charac- terized by weakness, anemia and spongy gums, is caused by a defi- ciency of vitamin C. In the days before refrigeration, mariners were particularly susceptible to it because they lived for months at a time on salted meat and no vegetables–or fruit. It became known as sea scurvy. And so the British sailors, need- ing all their strength to colonize the world, loaded their ships with the humble but durable lime. (And that, incidentally, is how they and their compatriots on land became to be known as Limeys.) Not that the lime is the only source of vitamin C; other citrus fruits like lemons and oranges con- tain considerable amounts; and it's also found in varying degrees in most other fruits and vegetables. Interestingly enough, human be- ings are among the few creatures Whose bodies don't manufacture their own vitamin C — so we have to get the vitamin, also known as ascorbic acid, from our diet. Dr. T. W. Anderson, a researcher at the .University of Toronto and author of several articles on vitamin C, 'says that the amount of it you need to avoid getting scurvy is about an intake of :around 100, mg a• day, the accepted Canadian Iiietary Standard is a minimum of 30 mg a day to maintain the body's store of vitamin C; he further suggests that this is better taken in dietary form than by tablets, although he notes that overcooking can quickly des- troy the ascorbic acid content vegetables. While Dr. Anderson's experi- ments have show that the massive doses of vitamin C (thousands of milligrams per day) , recommended in some quarters for preventing or curing colds, are unnecessary, he found that they didn't do any harm either. He thinks that some increase beyond the. normal intake may be helpful in combatting colds, but,that the danger of the really big doses is in abandoning them suddenly. There is no doubt that vitamin C - is vital to our daily health, but claims that it has a role to play in the cure of heart diseases and men- tal illnesses are unproven, says Dr. Anderson. It is known, though, that stress and cigarette smoking serves to deplete the body's store of ascorbic acid. ' Today, the sun may have set on the Empire. But it's still ripening abundant harvests of vitamin C — ' and you don't have to carry a lime with you to get enough 'of this important nutrient.

A Junior Agriculturalist will 'be assigned, wherever possible, to a farm with 'the type of en- terprise(s) in which she -he is most interested. The ' duties involved will vary considerably depending on the individual farm operation, the demon- strated ability of the Junior Agriculturalist, and the kind of enterprises found on the farm.

They 'must be interested in helping inex- perienced young people develop the skills required on a farm and are expected to have the ability to work well with and supervise young people. Host farmers must also provide suitable accommodation for the Junior Agriculturalist during his -her stay on the farm. Each Junior Agriculturalist will receive a training. allowance of $16.00 per day, based on a six day week: $8.00 of this will be provided by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture & Food; the host farmer will provide $3.00 per day in cash, as well as supplying room and board worth $5.00 per day. Persons interested in par- ticipating in this program as either a host -farmer oraJunior Agriculturalist should contact Len MacGregor at 482-3428 or long distance Zenith 7-2800 or write to the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture & Food, Box 159, Clinton. There are about 745 4-H agricultural clubs opeitaating in local communities across Ontario, a number that is growing steadily. In 4-H, young people take part in a learning ex- perience. The- 4-H'ers, living mostly in rural areas, par- ticipate primarily in projects of livestock, crops, agricultural engineering, natural resources and farm management. Or if there's sufficient local interest in a different type of project, they can start' up their own club. The community is involved closely with local 4-H groups. Leaders, for the most part, draw on their own experience to help these young people "learn to do by doing" --the motto that is foremost in 4-H programs.

Also the judge instructs the - grand jury that it may inspect all or any of the institutions and lock ups in the district or county that are maintained by the public's money. Huron county, now, does not have a jail but presiding Mr. Justice O'Leary talked to the sworn jury of three women and four men instructing them on their" duties, swearing them to secrecy and releasing them with a Court Constable to carry out their duties. Beside `t inspection of The County Courthouse they , will attend the Huron County Assessment Office Building, the Land Registry Office, the Goderich Psychiatric Hospital. and the Huronview Home for the Aged in Clinton. Inspections to check on food, ventilation, toilets and so on - as well as to dig out inmates in the jails who had been held too long without a trial - were traditional grand jury duties. Ontario has 48 counties and districts, but apart from Ontario only Newfoundland, Nova + Scotia and Prince Edward Island are still using the grand jury system. Since there has been so much duplication of time and effort, Ontario's grand jury system will soon be legislated out of existence and replaced by something called "The Public Institutions Inspection Act", and it is expected the other three provinces will follow Ontario's example. Seven randomly -picked members of the public cannot be expected to understand the records they read or the ac- counts, files etc. of the in- stitutions. Therefore, their recommendations carried less and less weight over the years, and it appears these reports are shelved or lost in the shuffle. Very- -little seems to be done regarding them now: So perhaps the new in- spection panel will function more efficiently, saving some of the public's hard earned money.
