Townsh.n : What happened to H2O Water, wafer everywhere and neer ;ai, drop to drink, The old saying doesn't seem, as absurd as It once did, We are using the same water today that was used at the beginning of time. We aren't running out of water, but we seem to be running out of cernmon: sense as we pollute the liquid at a tremendous rate. With 20,000• chemicals on the market now and 500 new ones introducedeach, year, it's impossible to know what we're drinking when we turn on the tap, Herbicides on pasture lands draining, into. lakes, rivers and streams is only one means of pollution. Some people dislike the taste of chlorine,. but in many Cases, we shouldn't worry as: much about the chemicals we know are in the water as we should about the ones we don't know. While the development ' and use of chemicals grow, concernedpeople are searching for ways to protect themselves. from .impurities in the water. A filter ona faucet screenssome chemicals, but no mesh is small enough to. stop all of them. Bacteria collects inside the filter, until the flow of water pushes some of them through. Itis therefore essential to watch the filter closely and to replace it •when it is no longer doing its job. People will drive for miles to a spring place where pure water wells; upbefore it has .a chance to come, in; contact with pollutants, They haul the drinking water borne in bottles :and Jugs but as time goes. by, spnnfind. 0 are becoming Mere difficult to Next to spring water, the purest water .15, distilled. Distillation is the process of turning water to vapour by .heating; condensing. it with cold and recollecting the liquid, llf you're picturing, an old shanty in. the hills 'with its chimney smokin' and great- grandpappy sitting on a rock out front with a shotgun cradled in one arm and a jug of moonshine under the other, you've got the wrong idea,) A gallon of distilled water sells for about $1. An average smallfamily uses four gallons a day for drinking and .cooking..$4 a day soon addsup, and many families are choosing to buy a home. distillery as an economical alternative, A unit for an average small family costs approximately $400. Some distilleries can be hooked intothe: waterapartments,small line, but in countertop µnits are more practical. Some sophisticated machines cool the distilled water, and a drink of cold purified water is. always on tap. Of course, the more frills a consumer wants the more he has to pay, and most settle for a simple version of the purifying system. Ironic, isn't it? Manhas, to invent a machine to purify the water, which he polluted with the chemicals he developed in the name of progress. SweetSWeet cora: makes Fresh, Ontario sweet corn is on . 'the market now , available from local food stores, roadside .markets, and pick -your -own :farms, Treat yourself to corn -on -the. cob often during the season, which continues through.

Food specialists suggesta couple of things to watch for,. to determine the freshness of the corn before you buy it. Choosecobs that have fresh- looking green outer husks and dry silks. As the corn gets older, the silk will' start to fall out: It isn't necessary to peel back the .husk of the cob to determine the maturity of the corn.

If the coin is ready, you will be ableto. feel the firm largekernels• through the husk., The last step before sinking your teeth into the tender, sweet corn is to cook it to perfection. All it takes is 5 to 7 Minutes for medium to large.size cobsin boiling; water, Longer cooking toughens the kernels. .Re- move' the Removethe obs from the water. . as\sobs as they're cooked;: They will becomid water 'soaked and lose flavor if left in the .cooking water: Now enjoy that in- describably delicious flavor!
