WHEN PEOPLE START TELLING YOU THAT
ELECTRIC WATER HEATING IS EXPENSIVE
AND SLOW-CONSIDER THREE THINGS...
YOU'LL BE TOLD THAT YOUR ELECTRICITY. BILL
WILL BE REDUCED WHEN YOU SWITCH TO OIL
OA GAS.
This is true. However, the amount eliminated from your hydro bill will
be needed to pay for the hot water from the new oil or gas unit you
' install. It won't end up in your pocket. Let's be realistic, hot water
costs money - whether it's heated by oil, gas or electricity. If you rent
any kind of water heater your bill will show the rental amount. If
you're presently using oil or gas, compare the cost you're now paying
for rental with $1.50 for the 40 gallon electric and $2.25 for the 60
gallon electric. A glance will show that electric water heaters rent for
less.
YOU'LL BE TOLD THAT "THE OTHER HEATER" IS
FIVE, SIX, EVEN EIGHT TIMES FASTER THAN
ELECTRI'CITY.
This is also true. But do you really need this super-high power
performance, an output of up to 2,000 gallons a day? We think not. In
any one hour you might be doing all the following things:
A big load of washing
Taking three baths
Odds and suds
28 gallons
30 gallons
10 gallons

•though I was part Of a wonderful,
miracle,
Even the actual .delivory was
not worrisome for me, In fact
considered it the most rewarding
and satisfying way to spend
day, And when the baby was
-finally in my arms, I felt as
important as the King of Siam
on a state occasion,
But I'm not ' too much
interested in caring for an infant.
Giving birth is a joy, Tending a
baby is tedious, tiring and
tirrteconsuming,
All this makes me wonder if
certain women could not
become professional
human-incubators - paid a
year's salary 'or more to give
birth to another couple's child!
Think of it. The real parents
could enjoy .a holiday in Europe
while the. fill-in mother sits at
home with the unborn child
safely cradled in nature's own
surroundings.
Naturally this kind of
procedure wouldn't be too
popular with the masses. Only a
few way-out types would ever
consider such a method to give
birth, but then . who really
knows? Who, actually thought 50
years ago that thousands of
couples throughout the world
would resort to sterilization just
because they didn't care to have
a large family?
By the time our grandchildren
and great grandchildren: are
parents, there may be all sorts of
strange antics by parents.
Someone may even haul out this
column a 100 years from today
and wonder how in the world
the writer had such insight into
the future . . . and scoff at the
primitive futility of parents in
1970.
QUICK LESSON
The capacity .01
telecommunications circuits
ranges from 'the slowest speeds
to as much as 500 ."kilobits"
(computer technological
language) per second. That's fast
enough to transmit the entire
text of the Bible in less than 90
seconds.
As MPA of you probably
now, f get Many of my •ideas
or this column. from the daily
apes, Some of those little
ut-of-the-way, • hardly-headline
tones make interesting items
for discussion in column
this. nature.
Today's daily had a whopper.
va olne - that's Canadian talk
or England - three pigs were
rri although their real parents
ere in Canada at the time.
• "The feat Was .accomplished.
hrough a transatlantic transfer
34 fertilized ova from pigs in
anada to. a sow in England,"
he story
"Ori March 19 the piglets, still
nlY fertilized reproductive eggs,
ere removed in an operation
rpm three donor sows, placed in
liquid medium, flown by jet to
ngland and implanted in a
oster mother sow at the central
eteri nary laboratory at
eybridge," the story
ontinued.
Isn't that absolutely fantastic?
. . . and think of what it can
can in the future!
Aside from the fact that
gricultural interests will
ndoubtedly benefit from this
ewfound method (fertilized
ggs can surely be transferred
tween countries much' more
heaply than grown animals) it
ould mean the dawning of a
ew era for humanity.
If they can transfer fertilized
ggs from one pig to another,
they could very possibly make
the seine switch in humans,
about it for a while
before you begin to squirm and
throw up. It would be a
marvellous discovery for a
woman who has been unable to
become pregnant and would
dearly love a child of her own.
Sure, an implanted fertilized
seed from some other couple
isn't the ideal way to fly, but if
it would ensure life in the womb
of a so far barren woman, what
real difference Would it make?
And then, I suppose, there
would be a possibility for a
blonde, blue-eyed to add a
brunette, dark-eyed cherub to
the family with the proper
implant. I remember talking to
one mother of several children
Who insisted that she was
growing weary of fair-skinned
babies and wished for a
dark-skinned infant for a change.
I guess if you are going to be
pregnant half the time anyway,
you might about as well carry
the kind of baby you prefer.
And there are probably more
women like me who actually
enjoy the giving-birth process.
Don't look at me as though
had seven heads, all of them
square! For the most part I was
completely happy during
pregnancy. I suppose it is the
Most primitive way to "do your
own thing" but somehow, I felt
busy and useful whenever I was
awaiting my baby. It was as

9, -Can an ordinary household
be used to dispense
liquid medicine?
A. household teaspoons and
culinary measuring spoons
frequently Vary in volume, The
most accurate method of
ensuring a proper dose for liquid
medication is, the use of a
calibrated glass or plastic
medicine cup which has the
various gradations marked on it,
For purposes of drug labelling a
teaspoon dose is considered to
be equivalent to a volume of 5
cubic centimetres,
Q, How does the food value of
white bread compare to that of
whole wheat bread?
A. Most white bread sold in
Canada is made from enriched
flour containing added
Thiamine, riboflavin, niacin and
iron in amounts specified by
Food and Drug Regulations.
Consequently the food value of
white enriched bread compares
favorably with that of whole
wheat or cracked wheat and in
fact may contain more calcium,
thiamine and riboflavin.
Q. . Are all food additives
laboratory chemicals? ,
A, Some food additives are
derived from foods. For
example, lecithin Which may
sometimes be used in processed
foods as a preservative is derived
from soybeans and corn.
Q. Why do the Food and Drug
Regulations permit the addition
of vitamin A to skim milk?
A. Skim milk is milk from which
most of the milk fat has been
removed. In removing the milk
fat, vitamin A, which is fat
soluble is also removed. To
compensate for this loss Food
and Drug Regulations permit the
enrichment of skim milk with
added vitamin A.
Q. What are hydrolyzed
vegetable proteins as listed on
the labels for some foods?
A. These substances are flavor
enhancers in the form of
Partially broken down proteins.
They may be obtained from
such foods as Wheat, rYecaoYa or
corn,
Food products are packaged
in mall)! types Of containers
including those Made from
wood, paper, glass, plastics and
aluminim foil. Is one type of
container safer than another? •
A. Food packaging materials
vary with the nature of the
products they contain, Food and
Drug Regulations specify that
"No person shall sell any food in
a package that may yield to its
contents any substance that may
be injurious to the health of
cringe m gr of the food",
`Overflow' camping is not
prdvicled by Ontario's provincial
parks this summer. When a
park's numbered campsites are
fully occupied, later arrivals are
directed by park officers to
other camping parks in the
immediate area.
The need to protect provincial
parks against the damage caused
by intensive use is stressed in
this recent announcement by the
parks branch of the department
of lands and forests,
Camping vehicles have
increased from ten per cent of
the camping traffic in 1957 to 65
per cent in 1969, and their
number is estimated at 250,000.
The following tabulation refers
to provincial parks in 1969:
tents, 35%; tent-trailers, 41%;
house-trailers, 14%;
camper-backs, 8%; bus-campers,
2%.
The rapid increases in campers
and camping vehicles have
placed excessive pressure on
some parks in southern Ontario.
The result has been the
deterioration of campgrounds
through soil compaction with
consequent wind and water
erosion and the loss of trees and
herbaceous ground cover.
The curtailment of excessive
traffic is seen by parks branch as

, Did you know the palest
blonde may be able to take more
sun than a brown-haired
counterpart?
Are you aware water-reflected
sunlight can burn you, even if
you're sitting in the shade?
Tanning is a complex
procedure with many variables.
There are no pat rules that
relate complexion, skin and hair
types to degree of susceptibility
to burning rays, no means of
escaping reflected sun rays,
unless you bundle up in a
anke,Lfr-eunabead teatrie,,,,aaalaaNaa,
r'Here are so rTA ..,.ill.iatirlit itibt..0 and its effects,: otil you ,
must use common sense and
diicipline to tan safely and well.
Guard against harmful effects
of sun by starting with short
periods of sunning - 15 minutes
the first day, five minutes more
every following day. This gives
skin time to build defenses
against sunburn, premature aging
and more serious problems
caused by overexposure.
Make sure you do not overdo
unning, no matter how
impatient you are . about
cquiring a tan„Sunburn
mptoms can ambush you . . .
y the time you feel
ncomfortabte, it's too late.
Your hair color and
omplexion tone do not
etermine how dark you will tan
r whether you will burn. A
londe, fair-skinned person with
ore dark protective
igmentation will tan darker
han a dark-haired person who
oes not have, as much pigment
n her skin. And a light-skinned
erson who follows sunning
les can go through summer
ith less discomfort than a
ark-skinned person who ignores
he rules. So, always use a
untanning or sunscreening
roduct, even if you are dark
omplexioned and brunette . . .
end guard against overexposure.
-Lots of sun on unprotected'
Things you should
now about the sun
skin produces a slow hardening
of the skin that encourages
'wrinkles and this phenomenon
takes place even when you--have
a tan that prevents burning. This
is another vital reason to always
use a tanning or screening
product in the sun,
If your skin is dry or
susceptible to burning because
of any sensitivity factor, use at`
sunscreenifig product until you`
have acquired a tan, Then use a
suntanning product.
Use sunscreening products on
„teodera.areas,,,not-oftenaexposed ar.,
areas just ,,tinde ;the arms a
towards the bust, the back of
the neck, the soles and insteps of
feet, the back of the knees.
Apply extra amounts of
sunscreening products to these
areas until they are tanned.
Beware the noon sun. Strong
sunlight blazes down from 10
a.m. to 2 p.m. and reaches its
peak at noon. At noon, rays
from directly above go through a
relatively , thin layer of the
earth's . atmosphere. Avoid
sunning from 9 a,m. to 3 p.m. if
you are very ,sensitive to sun.
Light is misleading. Sun is
strongest when reflected by
water, sand, clouds and fog, and
you can burn from the glare,
even if you're in the shade.
Water is an excellent conductor
of ultraviolet, so you can easily
get a sunburn while swimming.
Sand and the cement or tile
around swimming pools also
reflect ultraviolet rays that can
burn you.
Remember swimming,
perspiring or rubbing against a
blanket or sand removes
protection of suntan and
sunscreen products: Re-apply
the product regularly, especially
after swimming or exercise.
And always read the print on
your suntanning and
sunscreening product packages,.
and follow instructions to the
letter.

No overflow camping in Provincial
parks as vehicles increase
Total 68 gallons
That's 68 gallons. And our Cascade, 60 gallon, electric water heater will
supply over 75 gallons of good-and-hot water during that hour, and will
be ready to go again an hour later, So why consider paying for the
over-ability to heat 2,000 gallons per lay.
Both electric heaters, the 40 gallon and the 60, are'very economical.
They're designed for family needs - not a tar wash.
YOU MAY NOT BE TOLD THAT THE ELECTRIC
WATER HEATER HAS ALL THE FOLLOWING
ADVANTAGES.
It's safe, flameleSs, clean and economical. It can be installed anywhere.
It operatet quietly. And On the rental plan maintenance and service are
included.
Next time someone starts telling you that 0v:trio water heaters are
expensive and slow ask yourself - "Are they simply trying to sell me
their product."
Call your hydro -L ask for a Cascade rental unit, installation is Free and
service irmnediate, Then all you have to do is sit back and enjoy it.
When you have an electrid water heater connected through the meter
you will tben have the advahtage of the Bonus-Block of 500',
