Weight Watchers Advise How You Can Eat Ouf and Stili Stay on Your Diet Your favorite restaurant with its luxurjous surround- ings, a solicitous maitre d', a chef who takes special pride in pound-producing sauces, and congenial dinner companions, can often crumble the deter- mination of even the most dedicated dieter, according to Marie Ludwick, Area Director for Weight Watchers in south- ern Ontario, the Maritime Provinces and Newfoundland. "However, Ludwick noted even the weight conscious diner needn't fear eating out, HUNDREDS 0F REMNANTS AT SAVINGS To 60% Non-Wax Vinyl F2.99sq. yd. Sculptured Broadloom From $3,99 sq. yd.

These guidelines are pro- vided by Weight Watchers International in a pamphlet titled "How to Manage Eating Out", one of a series of eating management techniques that comprise a "PersonaI Action Plan" to assist the overweight to gain better control over their eating habits. The pamphlets or "modules" as they are called, emphasize individual be- havior within the framework of the weekly Weight Watchers class sessions. They were developed by Dr. Richard B. Stuart, Psycho- logical Director for Weight Watchers International, Inc., and are an integral part of the Weight Watchers classroom environment. Ludwick pointed out that the "How to Manage Eating Out" module states that "if you plan ahead, you can enjoy the meal, have a pleasant time with friends and relax in an attractive environment." Some of the "dining out" guidelines are as follows: 1. Choose steak houses or seafood restaurants where possible. If you can't avoid going to another kind of restaurant, call ahead so that proper preparation of food can be made for you. Or, on arrival, you can order meat or fish broiled. Even French and Italian restaurants will be happy to accommodate your request and serve, in addition, you vegetables prepared with- out butter. 2. Don't look at the menu. If you are on a weight reduction program, you know what you can have. Ask for it. If you look at the menu and don't see that right food, you may hesitate to ask for it or you may be trapped into ordering something which you know you shouldn't eat. 3. Order a salad and or coffee immediately. Move the basket of rolls and or condi- ments to the other side of the table. If you have something to eat which meets your diet requirement, and if you are not confronted with the con- stant temptation of nibbling, you will find it much easier to follow the food program. 4. Be the first one in your party to order. This avoids the "me, too" syndrome and keeps you safely on the good side of a major trap. 5. Dessert should be no problem. Melon, grapefruit, or fresh fruit cup, or other fruits are a safe bet and usually available. Offer Farm Safety Course A credit course on farm safety is being offered for the first time this fall to students at three agricultural colleges in Ontario. The purpose of the course is to produce safety-conscious future farmers, says Larry Swinn, public relations co-ord- inator for the Farm Safety Association of Ontario. The course will be manda- tory at the Kemptville College of Agricultural Technology and at the Ontario Agricultur- al College in Guelph for students in the two-year agricultural program. It will be offered as an option at the New Liskeard College of Agri- cultural Technology. Although farm safety in- formation had been included as part of other college courses; this is the first time there has been a course on farm safety, says Mr. Swinn. "We found that farm kids can go through the entire educational system without receiving any formal safety instruction before returning to the farm," he says. Statistics of the Farm Safety Association of Ontario show the highest percentage of farm accidents occur in the under 25 age group. The farm safety course will include lectures on farm machinery, preventative maintenance, first aid, Work- mens' Compensation, pesti- cide and chemical safety, safety management, and labor safety regulations as they apply to agriculture. Mr. Swinn says he hopes the course can be expanded to include agricultural colleges in Ridgetown and Centralia next year. Instruction for the courses will be provided by the safety consultants . of the Farm Safety Association of Ontario. Silo Gas Can Be Lethal Stay out of silos-that's the advice of experts at the Farm Safety Association of Ontario for farmers who want to avoid the dangers of silo gases. Three fatalities caused by silo gas (nitrogen dioxide) were reported to the Farm Safety Association in Septem- ber, according to Larry Swinn, public relations co-ord- inator. "Nitrogen dioxide is formed as a by-product of the fer- mentation process in the silo", says Mr. Swinn. "This gas is formed in the early stages of the ensiling process anywhere from six hours to two weeks after the silo is filled." Under ideal conditions silo gas does not occur, he says, and experts are not sure exactly what conditions cause the development of the lethal gas. Although there have been fatalities caused by silo gas for many years, the problem has been greater in the past 10 years. Larger air-bight silos and the increased use of nitrogen fertilizer account for the increased incidence of silo gas. Concentrations of 200 parts per million of nitrogen dioxide, for a period of five minutes, can be lethal, according to Mr. Swinn. Readings taken at the base of some silos show concentra- tions of up to 56,000 parts per million. Mr. Swinn advises farmers to stay out of silos for at least two weeks after filling to allow time for the gas to dissipate. If it is necessary to enter the silo before the two weeks are up, run the blower for 15 to 20 minutes before and while you are-in the silo. Never go into a silo alone. Use a life line and an outside oxygen supply. The gas has a sweet, bleachy odor and may show up orangish yellow in color. If there is the slightest smell, or irritation of the eyes or throat, get out of the silo as quickly as possible, says Mr. Swinn. Silo gas can kill quickly or can result in pneumonia hours after exposure. Immediate treatment by your doctor can reduce lung damage and prevent pneumonia. For more information about silo gas, contact Mr. Swinn, at the Farm Safety Association of Ontario, 2 Quebec Street, Guelph, Ontario or call (519) 823-5600. Still Openings Goose Camps There are some openings for Ontario waterfowl hunters at goose camps in the Hudson and James Bay area for the annual goose hunting season which lasts a month from September 15. Six Cree Indian goose camDs, at the northern edge of the Province about 900 miles north· of Metro Toronto, an- nually attract sportsmen who travel hundreds or even thousands of miles by car, airplane and boat to get there. The goose camps opened during the 1960s under a federal-provincial agreement as a potential source of income for Indian bands along the Hudson-James Bay coast. The ultimate goal of the program is for fully indepen- dent operation of the camps after a suitable period of business . training and guidance from Ministry staff. The camps are situated at The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, October 5, 1977 5 Fort Severn, Winisk, Attawa- reports the geese are begin- piskat, Kapiskau, Kasheche- ning to fly in.
