Sound nutrition aid to beating high food cost "Nutrition Matters" is the theme of Nutrition Week, November 2-8, sponsored by The Ontario Dietetic Association . to focus attention on the fact that adequate nutrition is vital to good health. "One way to counteract spiralling health care costs, is to prevent illness caused by poor eating habits," said Sheila Smith, President, the Ontario Dietetic Association. "this requires a concentrated community effort to educate the public first to recognize that nutrition matters and secondly. to do something about it." The Nutrition Canada Survey in 1973 revealed that half the adults in Canada are overweight and lack certain nutrients in their diets. Some of the contributing factors to this situation are the rapid changes in our lifestyles, escalating food costs, sporadic eating habits coupled with reduced physical activity. We are eating more often away f home and snacking as an alt five to regular nutritionally blamed meals. All this adds up to concern by dietitian -nutritionists who are daily confronted with the health problems of the poorly nourished. There are some positive steps that can be taken to deal with this situation.

Theevening service was a special event for the church, carrying the people back to the beginnings of Methodism in Wingham and detailing the history of the church frbm early 1860's. The highlight of evening was preceded by a short introduction from Rev. Barry Passmore, The outstanding presentatia concluding the 112th anniversary celebration was the play "The House' Not Made With Hands". Written by Miss Lavonne Ballagh, the play portrays the efforts of the early Methodists to build a church. It details the history of the church from the first services in the Zetland Bar Room to .the laying of the corner-. stone of the present structure on May 24, 1901. The play spanned almost 40 years of hard work and an ever - abiding faith, and it transported the spectators to a century long - forgotten. The stage itself was the church, set in front of the pul- pit. The props were a study in stark simplicity and were a major factor in creating an at- mosphere that suffjtsed the church and made the play an save yazffil crly and Coo.

For one evening, the church became a ghost of itself and re- verted to its birth. History came to life to lay a foundation for what is now and for what is yet to come. It was a difficult task, but the hard work of all who con- tributed to the play made it a rewarding task. The message of the- play was universal. It celebrated not only the founding of the Methodist Church in Wingham, but the dedication and faith of all Christians whatever their denomination who worked to give us what we have now. The barriers erected between the different denominations are arti- ficial, the play said, and are rooted in human weakness, not the strength of faith. Where all our forefathers worked together, we work apart. Where they have given us what we now have, we are giving — what? The -question of the future remains open in the play, and with its conclusion it spans the future as well as the past: "It is fitting that at this time, we should honor . their memory and rededicate our- selves to continue the noble work which they under great difficul- ties, began. As we draw our memories of the past to a close, let us look forward to the future with bright hopes of many years of united effort in our work for Jesus Christ."
