Dear Editor:
On behalf of the Wingharn Town
Council, I wish to thank all mem.
bers of the recreation master plan
committee for the tremendous ef-
fort each has put into producing the
recreation master plan.
The plan is evidence of the many
hours of unselfish and dedicated
work. Each member of the commit-
tee must feel a great sense of pride
in having accomplished such an
undertaking, and will surely be
looking forward to a respite now
that this task has been so success-
fully completed.
Once council begins the imple-
mentation process, we will be faced
with a task of another dimension,
that of raising the funds to carry
out the various aspects of the plan.
The fundraising effort will require
outstanding commitment by the
local citizens, and the efforts of
dedicaied, hard-working volun-
teers.
Such local improvements as the
, kA
• Lower Town Dam restoratioll,
its attendant parkland beaut4
tion pathways, etc.° the iniproire-
talents to the town gall auditorium
along with access to the disabled;,a
transportation system for the frail
• elderly and disabled; and many
more recommendations in the
study will require much hard work
by community -minded citizens.
When we have accomplished
what we set out to do and carry out
these recommendations, the towns-
people of Wingham will owe the
entire committee a tremendous
debt of gratitude.
Once more, thank you to the,
committee for a job well done. Your
sense of civic responsibility and
dedication to your ideals are to be
commended most highly. Please ac
cept my personal thanks and best
wishes.
Most sincerely,
Ian Moreland,
Mayor
Enrich your need for fibre
The average Canadian diet is rel-
atively low in fibre. Fibre is the part
of plant material we cannot digest
and provides the bulk we need in
our diet.
A moderate intake of bran plus
generous amounts of water help
promote normal bowel function.
Most foods that are high in fibre are
also low in calories. So, eating these
foods offers a double bonus — you
fill up faster with fewer calories.
Ways to add fibre to your diet:
—Eat, more whole grain and
bran -containing products every
day. These products include brown
rice, whole wheat or rye bread and
crackers, shredded wheat, bran and
oatmeal cereals. y913,c,an obtain
about' bne-fifiliiiif your recommend-
ed daily intake of protein from
these sources. The whole grain cere-
als also add B vitamins and iron to
your diet. If you are having difficul-
ty getting your family moving on
the fibre track, there are more sub-
tle ways to increase fibre intake.
You can substitute up to one-half of
the flour in your recipes with whole
wheat flour, or use bran or oatmeal
in meatloaf and meatballs as a meat
extender.
—Choose fruits rather than
juices. One serving of oranges or
grapefruit will provide you with
fibre, and 70 per cent of your rec-
ommended daily intake of vitamin
C as well.
—Eat vegetables unpeeled when-
ever possible and try not to over-
