This is the first article in a serier of four
written In conjunction with the theme for
Nutrition Week) October 21-27 -- "Pure Delight,
Snack Right"
Let's face it - we are a snacking generation and
it is doubtful that those coffee breaks, "grabbing
bites", and eating on thg run.will end in the near
future.
If the word "snack" to you has a, bac. con-
notation, perhaps it is. because many of the
traditional snack foods (such as potato chips,
doughnuts, candy) come first to. mind.` These
foods are sometimes called "empty calorie
foods" - although they may be tasty, they contain
many calories and few nutrients. They can sap
mealtime appetites and crowd out more
wholesome foods.
However, snacks can be both tasty and
nutritious. Because there is no scientific basis
for limiting food intake to three meals a day,
snacking can be perfectly acceptable and 'ma.y.
even be advantageous (for example, for children
whose food needs are high because of growth and
activity demands).
The point to remember is to choose snack foods.
that will complement the rest of your diet.
What do we mean by this?
Well, the basis to a good sound diet is Canada's
Food Guide. It specifies the number and size of
servings of various foods required daily to en-
sure adequate nutrients in order that your body
can function properly.
Foods are divided into four food groups - Milk
and Milk Products, two servings), Breads. and
Cereals (three-four servings), Meat and
Alternates (two servings) and Fruits and
Vegetables (four -five servings).
So, to be a wise snacker, pick one that fits into
one of the food groups. If you are like many who
are concerned about their weight for health and
,,appearance reasons, "save" a food from a meal
and eat it later as a snack. You may want to save
that muffin you normally eat at lunch for your
mid-afternoon snack.
Good snacking must start early. By -the time
many Canadians reach their teen years, their
tastebuds are accustomed to overly sweetened
and artificially flavoured snack foods.. But it's
never too late to change.
Maximizing the number and kinds of "good
snacks .and minimizing the number of "bad"
ones available at home is a large step towards
good snacking practices.
Don't believe that good snacks are unap-
petizing and boring. The possibilities are almost
endless.
Here are just a few examples: fruit juice
popsicles, baked apples' filled with chopped
pineapple and nuts, wholewheat or bran muffins,
cheese cubes and rye crackers, fresh fruit juice,
raw vegetable strips with yogurt or onion soup
mix dip, and apple spice cookies.
Here is the recipe for these delicious, moist
cookies:
"''/2 yup"b"'utter or 'margarine
1 cup brown sugar
l egg
2 cups unsifted all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground cloves
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 cup apple juice
1 cup finely chopped peeled apple
1 cup raisins
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar
together until fluffy; beat in egg. Sift together
flour, soda, salt and spices. Add to creamed
mixture alternately with apple juice. Fold in
apple and raisins. Drop by level teaspoonfuls two
inches apart on greased baking sheet. Bake at
400 degrees for about 10 minutes or until lightly
browned. Makes about three dozen cookies.

Guide, write or phone the Ministry of Agriculture

And remember - Snacking Right is Pure
Delight!

Each week, students
from grade 4 to grade 8
take part in a Library
monitor program. This
program not only helps to
keep library materials in
circulation but -'aids the
students' familiarity with
the library, its materials
and methods of finding
materials.
Each week the monitor,
who fills the qualities of
being respionsible,
helpful, neat and efficient
gets chosen as the
Library Monitor of the
Week. The special
monitor leaves a per-
manent record in the
library. Their photograph
and paragraph stay 'on
display for one week and"
then remain in a special
photograph book..
This year our Library

have been: Scott Cooper,

Council received
correspondence from Des
Cassidy, owner of the
Clinton Hotel, requesting
the town to pay their
account.
In an earlier letter, Mr.
Cassidy informed council
that he would be billing
the town for, the loss of
business the Clinton Hotel
received after council
refused to let him have
outdoor liquor permits on
a few occasions this year.
Mr. Cassidy noted that
that on May 15 he was
refused a liquor permit,
while others were

this was not true and
noted that organizations

need council's approval.
It was also noted that
council does not have full
control over the refusal
or approval of liquor
licences, but final
authorization comes from
the Liquor Control Board.
Council is anxious to
have . work begtin on the
new parking lot orf
Ratte*bury Street,
be.hind the library.
Although the parking
arrangement of cars,
offered through three
plans made by the town's
engineer, B.M. Ross has
not been decided, council
agreed that a lot could be
dug out and gravelled.
"We should at least get
it started and the
markings can be done
afterwards,' Mayor
Lobb said.
Deputy Reeve Ernie
Brown assured that work
would begin on the
parking lot as soon as the
tree planters had been
put away.

Council defeated a
motio r from the Region
of Niagara which asked
that the assessment
equilization factors be re-
examined. The re-
assessment basically'
means that rural areas
will be paying more
county and.. education
taxes and urban areas'
portion will be lessened.
The Niagara Region, an
agricultural area is
opposed to this.
Council, however, felt
that since they supported
the equilization
assessment earlier they
could not also support
this. -
Clerk, Proctor told
council that had the -
assessment been out into
effect this year, Clinton
would have been paying
$80,000 less.
"It will shift away from
an improper situation
where the urban aras
have been paying more
than their share and rural
areas have been paying
less than . theirs for
education and the
county," Clerk Procter
explained to council.

Council endorsed a
report prepared recently
by "Clerk Proctor, with
assistance from the
county that shows aneed
for 25 more senior citizen
housing units.
The units requested by
council are those on a
rent geared to income
basis, not low income
housing.

Council recommended
to the committee of ad-
justment that approval
