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.

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- Mclntee elected to OREA board of directors Michael Mclntee of Walkerton has been re-elected regional vice- president of the 46,000 -member On- tario Real Estate Association (OREA), In this capacity, Mr. Mclntee will represent the areas of Guelph, Cam- bridge, Grey -Bruce, Huron, Kitch- ener -Waterloo and Owen Sound on the OREA board of directors.
