Roger They report a very enjoyable afternoon Health foods arent all they claim to be Foods which can be found in socalled health food stares are not necessarily healthy We have found that up to percent of he food found in such stores are not healthy natural foods cautioned Doris Newman executive director of Manna Foods Inc of Scarborough Mrs Newman speaking to members of the Georgetown Local Council of Women at Friday meeting warned her interested audience that when snooping in any type of food store all labels should be read and carefully examined Mrs Newman who has been basically on a vegetarian diet for over three years told the group of women that foods found In a supermarket are primarily made up of additives containing very little of the natural Ingredients Commercial peanut butter Is made up of percent peanuts with the remaining made up of stabilizers whereas natural peanut butter contains only peanuts and salt People pollute their bodies A lot of the food which Is out on the market now Is not very good for one s health It really is quite sad Mrs Newman healthy natural food is a new kind of con It only about ten years old continued Mrs Newman Packaging Is very essential in natural foods We have to in tact reeducate people We have to get the public attention In hopes of converting the public to better eating habits Mrs Newman explained that mast natural food wholesalers sell their products at large bulk quantities with many utilizing glass con tolncrs for packaging Engraved on these containers arc hints for later possible uses for them We are not against other food companies We are just providing the public with a better way of eating Hopefully by giving a choice the larger food companies will also have to give a choice told Mrs Newman She verified this point by discussing the Quaker Oats Company and their new product Granola a breakfast composed only of natural foods It has gained a demand in health food stores Thus Quaker trying to prevent loss In profits because of the health food store began producing their own According lo Mrs Newman their cereal Is natural healthy cereal and Is selling tremendously Natural health foods do usually cost more than their commercial brothers and sisters but when price is weighed against good health then 1 consider the price justified concluded Mrs Newman A dream comes true It has taken over seven years of bargaining arguing planning and working resulting In an uncountable amount of man hours next week a dream will true for the North Association for the Mentally Retarded and for the many people the association worka for and represents The dream come true is the opening of the new residence on Trafalgar Road near Hornby which will house IS to 17 mentally retarded adults As of present a name

double bedrooms with Its bright colours and unique design will indeed become home for Us residents Its Ihelr home What we are doing Is providing the residents with as much of a normal life as possible notes Eric Taylor executive director for the Norlh association The primary concern of the association according to Mr Taylor is to see hat a dlcapped person who has lived at home all his or her life If and when there is no more family has a place to go other than a government Institution In providing such a residence handicapped people can learn to live more independently eliminating the need lo enter a government Institution We are providing first of all a home for mentally retarded adults and secondly most Important we are also a training residence where the residents learn how to do basic skills continued Mr Taylor Mr Taylor stressed that the association is not Insinuating that the home life far a men tally retarded adult is wrong or hampering he association Is only providing a chance for those to wish to get out and to be more Independent The residents will be trained to do their own laundry prepare some meals set the dinner tables wash the dishes make their own beds care for their own bedroom and do some household tasks In the summer a garden Is planned as well as various outdoor chores The residents will have pretty well the same functions as they would at home explained

by about percent Working with his the architectural firm In charge Mark Musselman Mclntyre and Combe successfully designed the complex as a residence not as an Institution We consider this place more of a community centre don want this place to be regarded as a retreat The reason why we don have a swimming pool is so that the residents will Use he Com swimming pool with others We are looking for ways to get the people from the community more involved with us here said Mr Taylor A cook housekeeper will be at the residence throughout the day preparing and In slructlng the meals as well as doing some of the more demanding household chores Mr explained that the residence employs four full lime staff two part time and wo relief part time In the form of a rotary staff someone will be at the residence at all The designers planned he complex in bright colourful shades of green yellow reds and blues with shades of brown white orange carpeting throughout the building The self contained apart ment will have a double purpose that of a lounge and hat of an apartment When It is felt that a resident can soon live on his or her own hat will live in the selfcontained apartment having lo cook and care en Irely for himself Until such time tha a resident is ready lo take such a step the apartment will be utilized as an area for lounging The association is around short of the needed funds for the complex They had hoped to recieve more funds from the com munlty however are very grateful for those so received Mention should not be forgotten of the three Legion Associations lr Georgetown Acton am Milton who supplied most the linen pots and pans etc The complex evolved from the concern and hard work brought forth from the com and both Mr and Mr Bilodeau Invite anyone who wishes further
