The following tid bit
comes to us from Louis
Stadelmann of Goderich:
Have you noticed that
from time to time,
newscasters on TV or
radio bring at the end of
their news bulletin a little
bright note? Often it is in
the form of a farcical.

anecdote, a joke or
anything to cheer you up.
It almost seems as if they
feel obliged to give us an
anecdote for the daily
dose of bad news about
inflation, the sliding
dollar, unemployment,
energy problems, threat
of separation, etc, etc.
So last week the an-
nouncer, with a glint in
his eyes, finished the
news with the story that
the Russians -are on their
way to discover the
fountain of . youth.
Apparently there is
something in
gooseberries which will
prevent decay of living
cells and therefore keep
us young forever. We all
know that the "Fountain
of Youth" like the
"Philosopher's
Stone",which was sup-
posed to turn ordinary
matter into gold, has
been mankind's peren-
nial quest since the dawn
of- record.ed-history-.. -
Ironically, there is in
fact, a substance besides
gooseberries, which since
ancient times has been
considered an elixir of
perpetual youth:
HONEY.
Besides its magical
aspects reflected in
certain pagan '
ceremonials, it is known
that honey will do won-
ders for us. It is perhaps
nature's greatest life-
giving food.
Of course there are
many other properties of
honey besides its use as a
low -calorie treat in our
diet. This will be the topic
of the talk on Thursday
night at the Goderich
Public Library: Honey,
the miracle food.

We've been treated to
some milder weather this
week as compared to the
previous few weeks and
we can cheer ourselves
up with the thought that
spring is just around the
snowbank--uh, I mean
corner.
And with the arrival of
spring, we also have the
arrival of the 1979
.campaign• for the
Canadian Cancer Society.
April is cancer month.
Where do we stand on
.,cancer --mankind's
modern - ..p.lagu€?-- Sci en=
tists over the world are
involved in the search for
the causes of cancer, the
properties that
distinguish cancerous
from normal cells, and
the approaches to
prevention, treatment
and potential Bare.
Although We do not
fully understand the
basic mechanisms of
'caner, much progress has
been made, particularly
in the diagnosis and
treatment of. , acute
leukemia in children,
Hodgkin's disease and
other lymphomas.
According to the
Canadian Cancer Society,
which provides most of
the funds for cancer
research throught its
affiliate, the National

Canada, the major

Women's Institute has identifying factors that
asked us to--r-em-ind—yeu—cause-or contribute -to the -
that they will be holding development .of cancer
and modifying their
deadly effects if they
cannot be eliminated
from the environment.
Many scientists now
believe that most cancers
are associated with
smoking, sunlight, diet
and other environmental
factors in the home or
workplace. This means
that many cancers,
perhaps most of them,
ultimately' can be
prevented.
The Canadian public
should support the
Cancer Society's position
that personal respon-
sibilty for health is up to
each citizen, particularly
in the prevention of
cancer of the lungs, skin
and cervix.

And speaking of health,
have you written those
letters to persons of
authority, expressing
-your--c-onc-ern--and -an-ger
over the proposal to cut
back our precious
hospital beds?
If enough people write,
we may be able to turn
things around. It's a
sorry state of affairs
when the government can
cheat us out of what is
rightfully ours --good
health care.

Coming out of the
supermarket with only
half the items on your list
and no spare change in
your pocket can be, a
disheartening ex-
perierlce. It's easy to get
lost in the maze of ad-
vertising and gimmicks
that surround the
business of buying and
selling food. And it's easy
to end up spending too
much for too little.
But somewhere out
there, among the aisles
and -shelves, -are -just -the
things. you need, .and. it's .
surprising how little they
can cost --if you shop
carefully and efficiently.
Consumer and Cor-
porate Affairs Canada
recognizes that the
amount a shopper spends
on food is affected not
only by what is bought,
but by how it is bought. So
the department is' of-
fering some common-
sense tips on skillful
shopping. -
Studies show that a
hungry shopper who is
not overweight can spend
up to 10 per cent more on
groceries. Overweight
people however should
wait until after shopping
to eat.
Buy only what you
need. Make a list and
stick to it.
Look around. Many
stores keep their more
popular items at eye -
level so it often pays to
bend down or reach up for
a cheapei% product. Also
those -.end--of-the-a-i-sI-e -
displays aren't always
offering bargains. Check
them against the regular
prices.
Shop quickly. The
longer you spend in a
supermarket, the more
time you'll have for
buying on impulse.
Forget brand loyalties.
A lot of chain stores have
their own brands of food
items and quality is just
as good as the ,popular -
brands.
Buy seasonal foods. It
really pays to vary your
menu according to the
seasons, especially when
it comes to vegetable and
fruit.
Buy less 'meat. Try
substitutes like eggs,
cheese, milk and fish.
Choose cheaper cuts
when buying meat and
serve smaller portions.
Shop alone. It's more
efficient. When taking
children, steer clear of
-candies-and cookies.
Shop only once a week

the week when bargains
begin to appear.
Read labels carefully --
to find out exactly how
much you're getting and
how much of it. Also
check the unit prices
marked on the shelves.
They'll tell you how much
a product costs per gram
