There are lots and lots of children in British Honduras, according to''Bob Legg who spent the
summer' there. These youngsters, all of one family, are of mixed blood while about 60 percent of
the population there is black. Even though families are large; averaging eight to 10, children are all
loved, and held in highest regard. (photo by Bob Legg)

Heart patients now live

You've had a heart attack,
your doctor assures you about
recovery, yet uncertainties may
still //` plague you. That's only
natdral, says your, Ontario Heart
Foundation, but the record
shows there . is, room for
optimism. Thousands of
Canadians who have, suffered a
heart attack are enjoying
normal, productive lives. .•
To help answer questions
frequently. asked by heart
patients wrestling with doubts,
your . Heart Foundation will
supply free of -charge an -8-page--
booklet
8-page—booklet titled • "After a
Corrina "
It is reassuring to know that
the. majority •of patients survive
their first heart attack and enjoy
years of productive activity, says
the booklet.
Chanties of leading a normal
life — with some modificafion..-
are excellent. There is good
likelihood that the patient can
resume his old job, •or some
other work that places less
burden on the heart. Although
reasonable rest and sleep are
essential for recovery, some
recreation, exercise in
moderation, and social life are
good.
• •The .majorityof patients are..

Doctors believe that moderate
exercise is beneficial for most
_patients — providing it,- is
supervised and does not cause
pain, • shortness of breath or
other disturbing symptoms.
It is essential *to eat less
saturated fats, replacing these
with polyunsaturated fats so as
to reduce the , amount of
cholesterol in the blood. A lower
cholesterol level tends to slow
the process of hardening of the
arteries which is ,behind most
heart attecks.
Eating less.ta-keeRTw:eight at- -

recommended. ' It is also
a • visable to ea several g
meals each - day rather than three
large ones.
Cigarette smoking is a' health
hazard for anyone and a special
risk for persons .with coronary
disease. It should be avoided
completely. Moderate amounts
of alcohol, tea and coffee are
permissable. As for medication,
the physician will prescribe for
individual needs and his ,'advice
must be followed strictly.

Mink demoted
in fashion
Did ypu know that mink has
been demoted from ,its previous
domain as a status symbol? It's
true 'according to a recent
fashion release from. New York.
Mink now is considered only
as one of the better fur choices
for women who are -'.plump or
short or both.
Other "..... furs . which are
especially good for this -segment
of the female society are
swakara lamb, nutria or seal., '
Slim and tall women should
select one of the long-haired furs
such as . fox, racoon,wolf,
muskrat and stone marten.
This fall, all the popular
fabric coat styles are duplicated
in fur. The wrapped look
includes everything from a
suede -edged mink to a
black -dyed seal, belted with a
purple -fringed leather belt.
There are officers' greatcoats
and trench styles. There's even a
cuffed shirtcoat in broadtail
lamb.
And capes are back. Some
have wide borders of another

bordered lamb in blue fox.
The more adventurous
woman may wail consider'
lonrg=haired raccoon- _ fur in
midi -length with a huge shawl
collar.
Incidentally, shawl collars are
popular, as are hoods.
The real fur fashion news this
year is the return of the short
jacket. Longer skirts are making
the jacket important again, say
fashion experts.
Leopard? Tiger? Jaguar?
These are almost totally absent
from the fall lineup ` of furs,
perhaps because there has been
so much public pressure to save
these animals from extinction.
But the spotted, ; look . is
handsome, and some furriers
now stencil' ranch mink -to look r
like the,spotted animals.

."strength" in it.
Mrs. Col. Sharpe then enrolled
five. ladies- as members of the
Goderich . group. Each of the
ladies. was presented with a little
prayer card, (a pledge card and a"
pin featuring a House on - Che
Bible. They , also received
carnation corsages.
Mrs: Co�1. Sharpe led in a
discussion on strength and things
we cannot do without --the
right tools to strengthen our
lives — God and prayer.
Mrs. Captain McCune closed
this part with prayer.
- The weekly chart was marked
and added up for the past three
months. There are three. groups.

Editor's note: 1 am pleased to
hear from. d reader on this
matter. In; id lally; I had verbal
notification of the same error
from Mrs. Pat Stringer, Regent
of the • Maple . Leaf Chapter of
IODF, in Goderich. My apologies
'to all IODE members far .any
embarrassment which may have
.rest tca 'because cif the mistake.:
7.,
..Bob.. Legg, 22 year old son of
Mr. and Mrs. Willard Legg, 97
West St.,. Goderich, thinks he
would like to go back to British
Honduras, maybe even to live.
s Of course, when Bob returns
to British Honduras, the country
should have , its' independence
from Great Britain and should
have a new name — Belize. . •
,But as far as young Mr. Legg
is concerned, the country is by
far the most relaxed and friendly
place he has found, and for him,
British Honduras , could be a
wonderful spot to work and to
live.
"It .is an interesting place,"
notes Bob. "There is no
Violence. There • is very little
me. The people are.friendly
nd easy going. It is just their
nature. And everybody's about
working 'class in a democratic
on'ntry."
Bob is an extension student
at Queen's University, enrolled
In'the tax assessment course. He
is presently employed' at St.
George's Anglican Church but
hopes, after graduation in the.
spring,- to move on to. -other
things.
He left Goderich -July 4 for
. Toronto, and then on to Aurora
to the Anglican ' Conference
Centre where` he was to become
one of about 35 volunteers from`
all over Canada who would
shortly begin a work tour in
various countries of the world.
Bob reports that about 400
applications were received .from
persons who , wanted to donate
'an entire summer to the
Anglican scheme. 'It isn't
necessary , to be an Anglican to
go on -the 'work tour, but
applicants must be between the
ages of 18 and 25 and should be
able to finance at least part of
their own expenses.
Bob said that nine young
people — two ''boys and seven
girls = were assigned to British
Honduras where they would live
with the people there for about
two months. ,
Some work tours are planned
and the . accommodation is
worked out prior to departure.
With this year's British Honduras
work' jaunt, the volunteers
"developed whatever we wanted
to".
They painted a church and
were resource people at a Youth
Camp.' But mostly they just
helped out wherever they were
needed -in the country.
Perhaps the highlight of Bob's
toer of British Honduras was his
meeting with the premier,
George Price. Bob.was interested
to learn that ' young- bachelor
Price was a go.od•friend of Prime
Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau
--of Canada, who goes ,deep sea
just off British Honduras
from time to ,time.
Premier Price told Bob that
British Honduras, -a country
about 8,000 square miles with
.about 150,000 people, will
become known -as Belize when it
gains its independence in.:about
one year. The capital city is
expected to be Belmopan,
presently a government -type
city.
About 60

n .Q
what they like you to call it,"
says Bob) is black with the
remai-rngng' 40 percent of mixed
blood•. •
The temperature averaged
about 90 degrees while Bob was
there, but • -in May, the -
temperature in Belize can rise as
high as 120 degrees. °
In the northern portion of
the country, business and
commerce gets rolling about 5 or
6 o'clock in themorning and
closes down for the day at noon.
In , the south, the British
influence is stronger and
residents work on an eight to
five schedule: The towns in
between seem to vary according
to customs and ordinances.
0 Sugar is the biggest• industry
in Belize with agriculture and
tourism being developed. • -
Canadian Mennonites from
.Kitchener ' and Manitoba have
settled in Belize and engage in a
type of commune farming in the
higher hill country. They grow
sugar cane, corn and some. grains
as well as maintaining large -dairy
herds and some chickens,
" "There are- 4—ii—y--few—native-'4 _-
farmers," observes Bob. •'
Food consists mostly of
creole -type • cooking with
chicken,,rice, beans and bread as
the staples.
"They eat some, fish and
some pork,"" added Bob.
"The people dress very neatly
and are veryt•clean," stated Bob.
"The young girl: wear dresses,
never slacks, and the boys have
shorter hair." ,
"Families are large,"
continued Bob, "with nobody,
quite knowing who belongs to
who. But the children are loved
and " -well cared for, always .
clean."
Religious beliefs of the
people in Belize range from the
Roman' Catholic faith to the
Anglican faith to the Methodist
faith. •
Canadians are well received in
Belize, according to Bob. Many
Canadian dollars have made their
way into Belize, the most recent
evidence of this in .a huge bridge
built in the city of Belize. There
are student exchange
scholarships' too.
After a summer in Belize, the
return to Goderich called for
many adjustments.
"It was easier to .go .to a
country Where there wasn't so
mu h . affluence," mused Bob,
"than to return ome w ere
everybody has everything.'*.-- "
No, Bob Would not be •
interested in attempting to bring
some of the Belize customs to
Goderich.
"'It just wouldn't work4here,"
he smiled, "But I think I would
like to go back to Belize, maybe'
even to live." `
