intake usually its far too easy for most people to obtain all the sugar they want from processed foods If your mother feels worse taking the pills she ought to bring this to her doctors attention I

not re acting properly in her system or perhaps if she is diabetic the pills arent doing an efficient job of keep ing the disease under control Re member that diet primarily the avoidance of refined

shopping bags with handles that you get in grocery stores etc Having a chesttype freezer put all of the same kind of vegetable packages in one of these bags another kind in an other bag and so on I also do this with the various types of meats and keep my seafood separate in the same way Now its easier to find these items Also it makes for easier rotation of foods and simplifies removing and reloading the freezer at defrosting time Its a simple matter of lifting the bags out and it really cuts down on time and effort DS BRAND i By Hughes Sales Rep 8730300 Another bright new year is upon us filled with promise and hopes for a continued prosperous 1989 Each year like many of you I wonder just what is in store for me what obstacles I will have to overcome this year and what joys await me Professionally I always look at the year with renewed challenge setting mygoals just a little higher than before because I firmly believe that yoiTmust have something to work towards something that seems just a little out of your grasp at the mo ment but with diligence it can be If this is the year that you are thinking of making a change in your accommodation Georgetown will certainly have a new face this time next year Our new subdivision is showing signs of development and hat should make a lot of you very happy Several new estate developments on the fringe of town will soon be underway and ail this adds up to an exciting year for those who are involved Certainly our economy looks pretty strong and real estate is no back bencher in this regard Actually Halton Hills as a whole will be spreading its wings this year and its about timel Our prices are re maining on the high side good news for present homeowners not so good for first time buyers and excellent news for the investors big or small Maybe if you are not thinking of changing residences this year you might think about trying to put some money into a small invest ment property for this town seems to be excellent for return on your hard earned dollar There are several ways to do this depending upon what road looks the most interesting to you and I think the risks are very small If you dont have enough money to make that plunge all on your own why not think about a small investors club made up of friends family or neighbors Between all of you you could probably come up with enough of a down payment on a small property to get yourself started If you look at the return you stand to make over a year or two it certainly is more than your bonds will make or your in terest from the bank and a lot more fun to boot I Give it some thought make a year to get your foot on the ladder and a new goal to work towards May all your dreams come true this year Your lifestyle Shoe Store GOT THE JANUARY BLAHS Cheer Up To Our 50
