NUTRITION MATTERS by Lynn Garrison Nutrition Consultant Huron County Health Unit In today's hectic society, it isn't unusual that someone is expected to juggle the responsibilities of a job, a home and a family. This kind of pressure can make anyone feel stressed. When a person is experiencing emotionally stressful times, the body's nervous and hormonal systems respond. For example, the heart beats faster, respiration quickens, blood pressure and blood sugar risec,,palms get sweaty, the stomach may become upSet, and so on. This reaction to stress would provide excellent support to a person who needs to take action sud- denly and for a short period of time. However, if the stress response is prolonged, then it can have a major effect on one's health. Many people feel that taking a vitamin pill during these times helps them cope with stress, but are vitamin supplements really helpful?' There is little scientific evidence which looks at the effects of emotional stress and vitamins. To date, however, the bottom line is that there is no clearly defined role for vitamin supplements in alleviating emotional stress. Stress can affect our eating habits, however. plat is, during stressful times, we may respond by either over -eating or under -eating. If our dietary habits change like this, then our nutritional status may be af- fected. If a person's appetitie is spoiled by stress, eating small meals or snacks frequently throughout the day can be a way of getting the- needed nutrients without eating large meals. If a person responds to stress by eating more than usual, then food selection becomes very important. Keeping with low calorie foods can help. For the over -eater, regular exercise to burn off excess calories and relieve the effects of stress can also be very helpful. Morris awards contracts for pit -run gravel Morris Township awarded the contracts for pit -run or 'B' -grade gravel for two road projects at the first monthly meeting of council. George Radford Construction Ltd., Blyth, will supply, load and haul 25,000 yards of gravel for the Morris-Turnberry boundary at a price of $2.80 per cubic yard for a total contract price of $70,000. Lloyd Jacklin of Molesworth will supply, load and haul 10,000 yards for Lots 20 to 22, Con. 2-3, for $2.21 or a contract price of $22,100. . MONUMENT SITE CHOSEN In October of 1923, Wingham Council purchased the W. F. Van - stone property on which the Cosens and Booth Insurance office was located, with plans to erect the war memorial on that corner. The price paid for the ground was $900. The building was going to be moved, the base of the monument put down and the ground terraced appropriately. R was thought that some might feel the council paid too much for the land but members had gone into the matter thoroughly and found they could do no better. It was hoped it would become a beauty spot in the heart of the town.
