The Wingham Advance-Times, 1972-06-08, Page 13I presents box 10 Gorrie residents Rest for the weary or just plain unambitiouswiif b available as soon as a bit of cement work anchors an old bench in place on a park -like area next to the To- ronto -Dominion Bank in Gerrie.' The bench is a gift of Gorrie W.I. in commemoration of the. 75th anniversary of the founding of Women's Institutes, and was presented to the village with appropriate ceremony Friday evening. In presenting the bench to Howick Reeve Harold Robinson, Mrs. Alex Graham, past presi-' dent of the WI, reminded those assembled the Institute was Or- ganized 75 years ago by Adelaide Hoodless who had lost a child ow- ing to impure milk: and it was her desire that other women learn good health practices, proper diet • and good, housekeeping. Harvey Sparling, now Gorrie's oldest inhabitant, immortalized the occasion as poet laureate to the village in the fallowing words: "When you are tired and need a rest, Right on this bench it might • 10 0 be best For you to stop and rest your feet. You'll get some Com- fort on this seat. Now if it's hot you're in the shade, That's where we old guys mostly stayed, Or if you're told and need some heat, The sun will shine and warm your feet. You're very thoughtful I must say, In placing here this bench to stay, And from the bottom of my heart, I thank you all who had a part in doing this real kindly act. We all agree it is a fact." Among those assembled for the ceremony in addition to the reeve were Ivan Haskins, township clerk; Mrs. Harold Keil, Institute member; Mrs. Glad Edgar,- ac- tivities convener; Mrs. Norman Wade, past curator, and a num- ber of village residents. Ofriginally a part of the furnish - in of the old CPR station, the old green bench is of wood struc- ture on a cast metal frame,,and appears capable of many more years of service. It is to be mounted in concrte footings to curb any tendency it might have to wander about the village, espe- cially on Hallowe'en nights.

An average Canadian family spends 20 per cent of its net in- coine on food. Of every food dol- lar, 33' cents goes for meat, 20 cents for dairy products 20 cents for fruit and vegetables, and 27 cents for breads and cereals. Here are a. few ideas to helpyou put this 20 per cent of your net in- come to the best use: MEATS • . the low-cost. cuts of meat. Hamburger is not the only one. Others include blade roasts, pork shoulder, sausage and pork liver. -Buy shoulder chops of lair- lb or pork rather than loin -or rib chops. • '-Round steak has little or no waste and is almost always a •good buy. -It is often more economical to • buy,a larger cut of meat and have it divided for several meals than to buy component cuts separate- ly. -Chicken and turkey are often on special, so watch for them. Al- ways buy a whole chicken rather than .individual, parts. You will save a few cents per pound.'

FOOT CARE Be sure yout toenails are trim- med. Nothing bites more fiercely, after an hour on your fee than a nail that's long enough to bump against the end of your shoe. Cal- louses should should be pumiced down. If yOu've got a particularly touchy corn, what about wearing a neat little corn plaster to hold off the pressure of the, shoe? Bet - tee than slipping off that shoe and then not being able to squeeze back into it.
