Instant whiskey may become the norm
Mark Dennis Fisher, :`i not Mr. and Mrs. Gerald B. Fisher
of Goderich, was marded to Karen Ann Van Leuken,
daughter of Tony and Lorraine Van Leuken of Lethbridge,
Alberta, on February 14. Karen Fisher, sister of the
groom, attended the wedding. The couple is residing in
Lethbridge.

After the success of instant
coffee, bartenders of the
future might soon toss a
teaspoon of powder into a
glass of ice and water to
produce -scotch on the rocks,
a martini or an after-dinner
brandy.
A Japanese chemist has
been so successful in mass-
producing a powder which
can be converted into any
kind of alcohol, that the
Japanese government has
been forced to revise the
country's regulations which
tax alcoholic drinks.
Mr. Jinichi Sato, a 55 -year-
\ old chemist and president of
Sato Food Manufacutring
Company of Komaki City,
first patented the method in
1973 but claims he was
unable to market it on a
commercial basis under
former official restrictions.
After a prolonged quarrel,
Sato has persuaded the
government to revise the law
to include his powdered
drinks as a "miscellaneous
form of alcohol".
Sato will at first market
Saki, Japan's traditional
form of rice wine, as a
powdered drink. But he
claims he can produce in-
stant whiskey, brandy, wine
and other' cocktails. The
powder, which will be sold in
small bags, is simply mixed
with water and ice to
produce an instant drink.
In normal circumstances,
it is impossible to reduce
alcohol to a powder form
because the boiling point of
alcohol is lower than that of
water. As a result, alcohol is
Weary but still ting after almost eight hours of flute=
playing, Sandi Lane, left, and Jodi Koran go through

lost, before water
eva(orates. Sato claims he
overcame this problem by
adding dextrin to Saki and
then putting the liquid
through a heat processing
system at specified tem-
peratures.
'`Under this system water
is evaporated, leaving
alcohol as a powder like dry
flour. When water is added
again, the drink regains its
original properties. The
flavour and. taste is
retained," Sato claims.
Textiles
If you are shopping the
sales for winter outerwear,
gloves and footwear, look for
"Thinsulate". It is a mixture
of tiny polyester fibres and
polyolefin wrapped in bat-
ting which provides the
insulating effect of down
without the bulk. The
manufacturer, the 3M
Canada Corporation, claims
that Thinsulate is durable,
washes well and is' lighter
than any insulator except
down.

The Canadian Automobile
Association ' (CAA) has
ounced plans to produce
sed car buyers guide. The
association.._will_ send a_
detailed questionnaire to its
1.2 million members asking
their .opinions of the per-
formance of the automobiles
they own. By June of this
year, the CAA expects to
publish its first national
rating of cars.

Survey to be ,nailed
As part of the first com-
prehensive review of private
land forests in Ontario, the
Ministry • of Natural
Resource:. will, be conduc-
ting a mail survey of Ontario
rural landowners, including
those in the Wingham
District (Huron and Perth
Counties, and Huron, Minto,
Kinloss, Culross and Carrick
Townships) .
This questionnaire is
designed to gather informa-
tion on attitudes and objec-
tives of woodland owners,
extent and type of f'.,rest
management activities be-
ing carried out, and
familiarity of landowners
with provincial government
woodland management in-
centive programs. Certain
statistical information, such
s potential for reforestation
on private rural land, will
also be collected. by the
survey. •
With - increasing .emphasis.
of natural resources, this
study is timely. As much as
30 per cent of wood produced
in Ontario comes from
private lands as opposed to
Crown lands. Wogdlots in the
•Wingham Districthelp supp-
ly high value hardwood
timber used by the region's
important • furniture
manufacturing and other
wood -using industries.
Private woodlots in this
area serve many other im-
portant functions such as
regulation of stream levels,
protection of crops, soil and
buildings ' from wind
damage, enhancement of
landscape beauty, habitat
for wildlife, all of which are
important to the farm com-
munity.
The questionnaire will be
mailed to. • approximately
