(Shelley McPhee You c And you can get value and nutrition for your money at the same time. Now is the time to be more conscious than ever about the value of our food dollar. The em- phasis is on buy nutrition not lust food. Choosing save money on nutritious food alternatives can benefit our bodies as well as our budgets. At a time when Canadians are increasingly concerned about getting the most value for their dollar, there is hope in the supermarket.

Farmers need help, Peters n says Farmers need major financial assistance from the Ontario Government to help them through what Opposition Leader David Peterson has called "the most serious financial dif- ficulty since The Great Depression." The provincial govern- ment has the worst record of farm assistance in the country, the Liberal Reader said, and this has resulted in a worsening situation for Ontario's agriculture in- dustry. "Farm bankruptcies have increased dramatically in Ontario and remain the highest in Canada," he said in calling for an emergency debate on the current crisis. "The agricultural industry outlook for this year is cause for very serious concern," according to Mr. Peterson. "As a result of low returns for major farm com- modities, many Ontario farmers will face serious financial problems, especially in their cash flow. Producers who cannot show a positive cash flow for the next season will in turn have difficulty obtaining credit for next year's planting. Moreover, refinancing of fixed assets to provide operating capital is bleak as a result of falling land values. Net incomes for Ontario farmers in 1982 are projected to decrease by 26 per cent from 1981 and the prospects for this year are not much brighter " Mr Peterson said action by the Oritario (government is vital to protect the in- dustry from irreversible damage. "The future viability of agriculture is at stake," he said, "with many Ontario farmers facing imminent financial ruin and loss of a livelihood which in many cases took several generations to build up." Mr. Peterson cited an Ontario Federation of Agriculture description of the province's farmers as being divided into two groups — "those in financial difficulty and those gettting there fast." But despite the crisis, the Conservative majority refused to allow the debate to proceed. Mr. Peterson said it was a typical action by a government which has been letting down the farm community for years. Tres from town SEAFORTH - Plans have been made to establish a tree lot so that as trees are removed they can be replaced by mature trees. On the suggestion of works superintendent John Forrest, the lot will be planted near the sewer works, with trees from the Ausahle Hayfield ('on - servation Authority Deputy Reeve Rill Bennett reported at council last week that a list has been kept of where trees have been cut and they. will be replaced. The trees removed around town were in had shape he said. "some cracked right down the middle" and town employees had time to tackle the job because there has been so little snow to plow. nutrition can cost less than most people imagine if one has access to good informa- tion on shopping for nutrition and food. Your personal time and money are also of ut- most importance when con- sidering your weekly food choices. Dietitians, nutritionists and home economists are the most reliable sources of the information which con- sumers need. They want to help you spend the resources you do have in the most ef- fective way possible. They can provide reliable infor- mation, accurately answer consumers' questions and clear up confusion. One of the most common misconceptions and most detrimental to the economics of food is the old adage that "fresh is best." During the winter months, processed domestic produce, canned or frozen, can be just Dee es as nutritious, less costly, and less time-consuming to prepare than fresh imported produce. From a national perspective, the purchase of domestic products is far preferable in terms of balan- cing our national budget. You see, making nutritious food choices does not need to take a lot of time or make shopping more difficult. On the contrary, the easiest way to get the best value for our food dollar is by following Canada's Food Guide, using energy, balance, moderation and variety as watchwords. Huron County has many resource areas and people and in a joint effort they are bringing you "Food Dollars aid Sense" evening food presentations. There will be food demonstrators with lots of good points on food buymanship. You'll receive lots of recipe booklets, lots of shopping ideas for nutritious food. There is no charge so how can you turn it down? All programs begin at 7:30 p.m. Everyone welcome!

Maks Kaleid scope Kaleidoscopes have been around since 1817 -- thousands of kids have played with them -- and they're not all that hard to make. To make a kaleidoscope you need: • Scissors ® tape o glue * tin foil * wax paper * plastic foodwrap ® cereal box * colored tissue paper * ruler • pencil • 2 identical small hand mirrors Directions: Lie the two mirrors face down and tape them together — leave a small gap between each mirror. Cover a piece of cardboard the same size as the mirrors with tin foil. Tape the mirrors and the cardboard together to make a triangular box. Cover one end of the box with plastic food wrap and tape securely. Fill the box with tiny bits of tissue paper — add shiny foil if you want. Cover the top of the triangular box with plastic film and tape down. Cut some cardboard the same length as the mirror triangle and ten inches long. Roll the triangle in the cardboard and tape to make a cylinder. Cut and put a circle of cardboard to fit one end of the cylinder. make a hole in the centre, and tape down Cover the other end with wax paper. Cover the whole Kalci doscope with plastic foodwrap, then with regular paper, and hold it to the light. Voila' Distributed by Canada Wide Feature Service Limited (e) 1983 RR®et(c y Foie -field
