Auxiliary and Board room were decorated with banners and flowers in honour ()lithe past presi- dents attending, who as they ar- rived were greeted and received a corsage of dark blue and white flowers, which is the hospital col- ours. Alma Langford, past president for one week, welcomed everyone to the past president's tea. Sevcahwa. QrtL eof.lhe 24 past presidents were in attendance. Three are deceased and four were unable to attend. Langford introduced each past president by their_ year and as they were introduced they gave high- lights of special happenings that had taken place in their years. She recognized the absent past presi- dent's by reading interesting things from their years or a tittle verse. As their names wcrc called a white carnation for the deceased or a blue one for the absent ones, was placed in a beautiful vase with greenery. Alter all the past presi- dents were introduced the vase of carnations was presented to Leone Brock who is a Life Provincial member of H.A.A.O. Entertainment followed: Ada Dinney sang accompanied by Mar- jorie Johns on the piano, Ruth Skinner gave a reading, Marjorie Johns the no% president played several selections on the piano. Everyone was invited to the board room where a delicious lunch was served. These past few weeks we have had visitors with us and have been trying to show them some of the high spots around here. When we originally thought about what we might do, Niagara, Toron- to, Elora Gorge, and of course the Lake Huron Beaches came to mind, but very little else that was relatively total. Our mistake. A drive north on a sunny Saturday brought us to Clinton and Sloman Park.. a very small park, but thanks to Margaret Slo- man, one that our friends will not soon forget They were fas- cinated by the school railway car, and i must admitso :wcrc we. .A part of Ontario history so close to us and yet 1 wonder how many local people have have really taken advantage of it. My congratulations to all those people in Clinton who have worked so hard to make the park a lovely place to visit and picnic it. Coded -eh has always been a picturesque town, but the im- proved beach front is wonderful. There are play arcas for chil- dren and the boardwalk and picnic areas make for a very pleas- ant place to spend the day, or even just an unhurried couple of hours. Of course, any exploration of Godcrich would be in- complete without a trip to the gaol or the historical museum. I'm sorry we had to give the maritime museum a miss, maybe next time. The windmill built east of Bayfield as a saw mill is interest- ing to watch in operation and if those grindstones arc ever put to use to produce stone ground flour, l will be one of the regu- lar customers. The Lambton Heritage Museum exhibits and a walk around or just a drive through the pineryenjoying the wildlife and dune formations don't need a great deal of time or money to appreciate. A walk through the gorge at Rock Glen searching for fossils and through the woods there enjoyiagthe Trilliums, May Ap- ples or Jacks -in -the pulpit is an enjoyable treat especially if it is followed by a delicious picnic or barbecue in the park. I have to admit that as comy as this may stem, the trips we took around this arca, while they may have been enjoyable for our friends, they were doubiy so for us because, as we saw things through their eyes, we came to the realization that our part of Ontario, while it may not have the largest or best known attractions does have a great deal to offer to everyone. Picnics can be as easy or as elaborate as you care to make then. 1 used to dream about the picnic with a snowy linen cloth set with china, silver and crystal with champagne, straw- berries - the works, but when I realized that I would be the one ironing the linen, and polishing the silver, I decided that'per- haps the car rug, paper and plastic would be better. Rolls and breads, crackers, cold meats, cheeses, tuna, salmon or egg sal- ad, carrots, celery, tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce and pickles - its a case of everyone tuck in and eat to your hearts content, with juices to drink and fruit for dessert, refreshing , enjoya- ble, little work, and easily packed up, and put back in the re-, �f eraator roadyrlor st ool lunches the next week. Mystery tour for Wi.. CREDITON - Members of the Crediton _--Homer's Institute en- joyed a mystery tour as part of their regular meeting fast Wednesday night.

Capsule Comments with Ernie Miatello There has been a lot of publicity about Beta - Carotene and its possible effects In prevention of cancers and cataracts. Carrots are a great natural source of this vitamin. Eating one regular -sized car- rot will provide you with 11. mg of beta -carotene. You should get at least 5-6 mg. per day. If ASA (Aspirin and other brands), were discovered today, It would most likely be available only on a doctor's order. It Interacts with viruses to cause Reye's Syndrome in kids, affects coagulation of the blood, and causes irritation of stomach lining producing ulcers. Although It does a good job of reducing pain, fever and Inflammation, advice is needed for its safe use. l - Consumers are a fickle lot. A Californian survey found that over half the Pesticides used on oranges were solely for cosmetic purposes. People like oranges that are all orange (no green), even though they taste the same. Sort of true for apples, too. Motion sickness and nausea can be treated with medications. But a non -drug method that works for many people is the "Sea -Band". This is a pair of wrist bands with a small button that presses on a specific area of the wrist. It is based on the 2000 year old piinciple of accupressure. Our pharmacy -staff will be glad to talk to you,about the "Sea -Band". Huron Apothecary Ltd "Your Health Care Phamacy" PHONE" 235-1982 440 MAIN 5'.. EXETER.
