At the University of Georgia, research has indicated that saturated fatty acid, which raises blood cholesterol, is not even present in meat fat. The primary fatty acid that is in meat fat (caproic actually lowers blood cholest- erol and blood pressure. On top of this comes the statement from Dr. Michael DeBakey, the famous heart transplant surgeon, that only about 307fo of heart patients have any cholesterol abnormal- ity. He said that diet is not a specific cause of heart disease, stating, "We don't know the cause and we need to take a much saner attitude toward diet in relation to the disease, since it is obvious that diet, as far as 65% to 70%fo of the patients are concerned, has not been related or associated with the disease in our experience. Then from Dr. Raymond Reis- er, Texas A & M University, that saturated fats do not by any criterion, elevate cholester, of to high risk levels, if indeed they raise it at all. "Dr Shermat of the Meat Board thought it more likely that we have insuff- icient crude fiber than that we eat too much saturated fat. He said there is considerable evid- ence that dietary fiber --whole cereal grains, roughage of fruits, vegetables- - lowers blood cholesterol. We have seen in the daily press that the agricultural outlook conference doesn't expect food cost to go down. We, as farmers have known this all along. It can't come down a; the farm level, for then prod- uction would decrease and the price increase. It can't go down at the trans- portation level, for fuel prices went up as well as truck prices, and wages won't come down. Restaurant prices can't come down•for the same reasons. It appears to me that low income people must have some help to pay for the higher food cost. But I'm agraid that high income people, professional people and some high paid un- ion members will not be willing to sacrifice anything. Then, if the food cost goes up, they'll demand more money, which in turn will result in higher food cost. Plan school for sewing Mrs. M. Vermunt and Mrs. L. Prang are attending Senior Leaders' Training School at Clinton on Wednesday and Thursday. The course, taught b; the Home Economist, Miss Jane Pengilley, is sponsored by the Ministry of Agriculture and Food. The course chosen is "More Ideas for Sewing Knits, " giving information on knit fabrics, tailoring techniques, fitting pants and finishing touches. Sewing classes will be held in Zurich in February. Contact the leaders and read more infor- mation in next week's paper if you are interested in attending classes. 0 Smile Where is everybody? Well, I'll tell you: My doctor is in Palm Springs, my dentist is in Honolulu, my TV repairman is in Bermuda, my hairdresser is in the Virgin Islands, and my cleaning woman is in Las Vegas. It's rough with them gone. But one nice thing, if they all stay away long enough, 'perhaps'I can save enough money to go someplace.

Roger Martin, authority re- sources manager, told the authority's annual meeting Fri- day he hopes a meeting of mun- icipalities involved and the ministry of natural resources will be held in March. Most of the seven municipal- ities have already indicated approval, he said. Included are Goderich Township and the towr ships of Stanley and Hay and the village of Bayfield. Stephen Township has not ind• icated its position, Mr. Martin said, and he has meetings sch- eduled with Grand Bend and Bosanquet councils to discuss the plan. Water tributaries in the areas flow directly into Lake Huron or the St. Clair River instead of into the Maitland or Ausable watersheds. Thus, they belong to no authority and are denied conservation programs operated by authorities. The northern section of God- erich Township is in the Mait- land Valley Conservation Auth- ority and the south end of the township is in the Ausable water shed. The area between would be divided between the two authorities under the proposed plan. Running south from Goderich Township, Stanley, Hay, and Stephen townships are part of the Ausable watershed except for a strip of land along the lakeshore which includes Bay- field. Elgin Thompson, reeve of Tuckersmith Township, was acclaimed for a second term as chairman. Incumbent vice- chairman Fred Heaman, treas- urer of McGillivray Township and a government appointee to the authority, defeated. Lucan Reeve Ivan Hearn to retain his position. Russ Powell, conservation authorities program supervisor in the ministry of natural re- sources' regional office in Lond- on, said Ontario's 39 conservat- ion authorities will gradually assume more autonomy as the province decentralizes decision- making authority. He said Queen's Park will request long-range program development plans but that det- ailed approval for specific proj- (continued on page 16) TASTY...READY TO PLEASE Treats' ,'ISV \C L \mak S.M.S..
