La Leche League Of Bel - grave began its second.yea of meetings at the home o Lilian Nolan, Wingham, on the evening 'of Jan. 20. 'he topic of discussion was 'Advantages of Breast- feeding to Mother and Baby'. Barbara Kerr, leader, explained how the leage began with seven founding mothers wanting to help mothers breastfeed their babies and share ideas on parenting. After 25 years, La - Leche League is now an active service organization throughout the world. Since this is LLL's 25th an- niversary, year, n-niversary..year, a variety of commemorative items and special activities are planned in honor of the silver anniversary. '''Also coming in 1981 is the LLLI Conference, taking place in Chicago, with 6,000 adults and children expected to attend. The purpose of the conference is to bring to- gether people from all over the world who are interesed in breastfeeding. The topics will range from breast- feeding to grandparenting and cover many subjects in between. During the discussion the mothers shared their ideas on breastfeeding. `Expert, Schmexpert' was read from Parents magazine in order to note that there are many sources of information on child -raising, and everyone has to form their own philo- sophy of family and making choices to meet the needs of their own children. For many reasons, breast- feeding helps mothers un- derstand their babies and makes mothering more enjoyable. These are out- lined hi the book 'The Womanly Art of Breast- feeding', and the mothers enjoyed discovering the advantages in - advertise- ments cut from magazines. It was announced that LLL Belgrave will become a depot for Egnell breast - pumps in the near future. The meeting closed with a social hour.

The Senior Chef, which is being televised Saturday mornings at 11:30 on--CICNX is being discussed. The Wednesday group is doing a follow-up program through the Huron County Health Unit. There , were both positive and negative comments on the show. Some viewed Bert Dodd as very competent and humorous, while others had a different opinion. The show covers a , wide range of topics, not justthe actual' working. The cook- book is available at a • nominal charge through CKNX. The show is -called the Senior Chef, but is most useful to anyone. It was said to be geared at the senior population and the young single, which is me, and I admit, I'd rather eat than cook. So watch the show, it's never too late to try some- thing different to activate the tastebuds. We had a film entitled the 'Art of Age' this week at the centre. 1t dealt with the stage of retirement.
