If I have, please call me and I will include it in next week's news. New road completed The north road in Varna has taken on a tidy ap- pearance now that the County has finished the paving and sidewalks, and the filling and levelling. The sloping driveways provide the kids with a great place to develop their skateboarding skills. Some pretty big kids have been practising, too. If gas gets too expensive to keep the Tuckersmith Telephone truck on the road, they may resort to sending Howard out on service calls on the "board." Gravel roads would be a problem, though. If Sandy ever gets both feet on the board, he'd better not tell the church's board of stewards, in case they suggest he do his local visiting that way to cut down on mileage. Sell farm Mr. & Mrs. Henry Vos, who have sold their farm to Stan Vanderwal of the Holmesville area, are moving to their new home in Brantford on Saturday, HAY MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY ZURICH 236-4381 Farms - Homes - Cottages Elgin Hendrick Hugh Hendrick Jack Scotchmer Glenn Webb Agents Grand Bend Kippen Bayfield Dashwood 238-2611 262-5389 565-5270 237-3229 October 14.

By 1977, the numbers increased to 76,000. Recently, Ann Thomassen, food consultant at the Food Advisory Division of Agriculture Canada directed tests on cooking chicken by microwave. Results were very encouraging for the microwave oven owners. "We compared microwave roasted chickens to those roasted in a regular oven in order to determine the roasting times needed for the two methods and the difference in eating quality," explained Thomassen. The two products proved to be very similar. "There was little or no difference in eating quality between the microwave roasted and con- ventional roasted chicken," Thomassen observed. Roasting times, however, were considerably less in the microwave oven. "It took 11 to 15 minutes on the highest power of a 700 watt microwave oven to roast a 2 pound bird. For a bird, the same size, it took about 11/4 to 11/z hours at 325°F in a regular oven." The study concluded that chickens can be successfully roasted by microwave, at quite a savings of time without sacrificing flavor, championship trophy. The Lake Huron Zone of the Ontario Recreation Association- is holding its annual conference in Goderich on October 28.

Golden Glimpses The trees in the bushes surrounding us are slowly taking their autumn colours but the frost has not affected / our flower gardens as yet. Our series of films for the winter months will be star- ting during the middle of Oc- tober to which the public are invited. We welcome Mr. Ezra Webb to the Home. He is a former Grand Bend resi- dent. The donations of fruit and vegetables to the Home are very much appreciated. We regret that Mrs. Ger- trude Gittus is still a patient in South Huron Hospital. Euchre and shuffleboard seem to be the main attrac- tion these days for the residents. However, anyone that has any spare time to visit would be a welcome ad- dition to the day's activities.
