The Senior Chef program on CKNX started last Satur- day and the clients were en- couraged to watch it as we will be doing follow-up sessions each week. Cathy Thomson, Huron county's nutritionist, has chosen our seniors as a target group. The series consists off 13 half-hour programs on food preparation, food budgeting, selection and menu plan- ning. Produced by the Bri- tish Columbia Ministry of Health, it is especially made for senior citizens. Bert Dodd ia•a 65 -year-old amateur chef and a former civil servant and is a very humorous person, so watch the show every Saturday. A Senior Chef cookbook will be available also for a nominal cost. Lloyd `Casey' Casemore was in Jan. 14 to show his film on glaucoma, a serious - eye disease. Glaucoma -can lead to blindness if not detected early. The film was informative and really brought the issue down to earth, `Casey' also had some interesting stories to tell about his recent trip to Holland. Everyone at the centre has taken an active interest in our mobile greenhouse. This week we will be starting seeds in an effort to have box plants and vegetables for sale by spring. We had a film, entitled 'The Art of Age', last Thurs- day. It was produced by the Ministry of culture ,and Recreation and it showed how retirement can be a pro- ductive and satisfying part" - of one's life, if you put some- thing into it. . If anyone wishes to volunteer to drive for us or volunteer at the centre, please call 357-1440, anytime. E. Powell chooses farming as theme for Wingham WI Edward Powell, guest speaker, spoke on `Farming Today' at the January meeting of the Wingham Women's Institute. He stressed the point that if this country does not encourage its young people to remain on the farm and raise more food, the world may starve. He termed `alarming' the fact thatainly four per cent of the country's young people are returning to the farm after receiving their educa- tion. The speaker stated that urban, members of Parliament do not" realize that too many buildings, roads and hydro lines are being built on good far- mland. "We need this land and our young farm people to help save the food situation," he said. "Ontario is the best farming province in the Dominion and if we should have a failure it would mean a serious situation for us all. Mr. Powell said that our forefathers grew the grain, fed the cattle and put it back a. into the land in the form of manure. Today everyone is using fertilizer ..to make rapid growth and `are putting different chemicals into the. food, thus making expenses higher, He feels that farmers will have to return to smaller farms and have less ex- pensive Machinery, thus reducing operating costs. MRS. WILLIAM SOTHERN The speaker noted that the government had ti ven a large amount of money to help the Chrysler Cor- poration and feels that young farmers should be helped in the same way so more would be interested in coming back to the farm. Mr. Powell urged everyone to encourage their young people to remain on the farm and to advise urban politicians to chane some of their projects. The speaker was thanked by Mrs. Lapp. Roll call was answered by naming a prominent person born on a farm. Thank -you notes were read from Mrs. John Currie and Mrs. Elston, also an • acknowledgement from the secretary of the children's hospital, London, for the donation from the WI.
