Varna UCW Christmas party
planned forThurs., Dec. 14
By Joan Beierling
VARNA CORRESPONDENT
VARNA - The Stan Lee
Club held their Christmas
Party in the complex last
Wednesday at 3:30 pm.
President Charles Reid wel-
comed everyone. He then
introduced pastor Wilbert
Schwindt
who came to
entertain the
group. Wilbert is a talented
musician. He plays the bot-
tles filled with water to vari-
ous levels to create the
notes. The bottles represent
nine black keys and nine
white keys. Wilbert started
first using spoons but later
made a wooden malette to
hit the bottles and get the
notes he wanted.
He also very capably
played a violin which he
reconstructed from a very
bad condition. He also
played the mandolin. He
had special background
equipment for his accompa-
niment.
A special feature was his
last selection when he played
his tiny tiny mouth organ
which had only eight keys.
He had to take care not to
swallow it! In case he had a
string attached to it!
Pastor Wilbert commented
on how he enjoys having his
grandchildren learn to play
with him.
After the program the
ladies of the Varna U.C.W.
served a wonderful turkey
dinner which
everyone
enjoyed. Bill
Taylor extended
thanks to them
on behalf of the
group.
Several poin-
settias and
amaryliss bulbs
were offered as
prizes. Those
donating were
Mel and Betty
Graham, the
Reids, the
Stephensons, Bill Taylor and
the Deicherts.
Winners were Mary
Ostrom, Margaret Hayter,
Wes McBride, Mack
Webster, Marlene Diechert,
Elmer Hayter, Arnold Keys,
Joyce Dowson, Mildred
McAsh and Leona McBride.
Eleanor McAsh won the
lucky x.
Everyone
enjoyed the event
glad to get home

As of December 31 last year, all manufacturers
of natural health products must have site licences
and must meet quality control standards
including quality assurance, stability of the
product, good sanitary practices at the
manufacturing site and a method of recalling faulty products. These
are the same rules that drug manufacturers must follow.
Consumers are the winners all around.
Water is a nutrient and is essential for life. As we age, we tend to
drink less water because we eat less with age. We need about 8
cups per day but we don't have to drink that much since much
water is obtained from our food. When you are tracking the volume
of fluid you consume, consider juices too but not coffee or alcohol
because they act as diuretics causing fluid loss.
Here's an interesting fad about the anaesthetic, chloroform. In
1853, Dr. John Snow administered it to Queen Victoria of England
during the birth of her eighth child. Up to this time, many people
thought that it was immoral to give women anaesthesia during
childbirth.
Current international guidelines for children's exercise suggest one
hour per day to reduce the risk of heart disease as adults. A new
study is suggesting this be increased to 90 minutes to further reduce
risk. Building in good exercise habits as children pays dividends as
adults.
