ae You are what you eat and boy it shows! If all the health and nutrition pamphlets that are currently being published were laid end to end, they would circle the globe. Such were my thoughts while _ at- tending the conference of the Society for Nutrition Education, held recently in Mon- treal. Tables staggering under educational material for the general public, seminars on how best to put the message across, films to increase the impact. it was mind boggling. Yet one fact came up time and again, that the average person in America and Canada is much more ready to accept the half truths and usually un- substantiated claims of pseudo scientists who are primarily out to make a quick dollar from their highly ad- vertised publications, than the carefully researched reports of responsible medical scientists. How to combat the quackery, how to do something about the millions of dollars that people are spending on unnecessary vitamin, mineral and _ fibre supplements, how to get the true facts across to the public in a way that might influence lifestyles to change for the better, these were the subjects of con- versation among the delegates to the con- ference while in meeting rooms dozens of papers were being presented on current research projects. One thing I noticed was that the educators must certainly follow their own advice for healthy living, for among the one thousand or more delegates I saw no stout people. An unusual sight in modern America. The value of using the media for spreading good nutrition education and combatting misinformation was stressed and in the coming weeks I will be doing a series which could perhaps be called "From the Cradle to the Grave'"' except that I will be starting at a point before the cradle. It could be called "Nutrition Matters' except that is too trite, or "You are What You Bat": There must be among the readers someone with an idea for a heading for a column on nutrition that will be aiming at updating knowledge, burying some of the myths and legends and giving a factual account of how to keep healthy and keep our families healthy by proper eating. I will be eagerly awaiting a great idea to top my first column. Alleyne Attwood, Registered Professional Dietitian Grass Roots Concert : ' shows Canadians Molson and Barrie Jaycees will co-host the fifth annual Grass Roots Concert to take place at Molson's Park July 26, at 5 p.m. The Grass Roots Concert was started in 1976, the purpose being to promote Canadian talent.

During 1964 Zoning problems reviewed Midland Planning Board will get another kick at the cat, as it were, concerning the zoning of certain parcels of land west of King Street, namely properties owned by Roger Hunter and Dr. C. E. Leitch. Both men were present Monday night when members of town council met. Dr. Leitch, reading from a prepared text, called upon the town to zone both properties in question so that they could be zoned Highway Commercial for the full depth of 800 feet. At present the front half is zoned Highway Commercial while the back sections are zoned RS1-D, a holding zone. It was pointed out to both men that should they want to develop the rear parcels of their property(s) and came up with a plan, then both the town's planning board and the town would be receptive to changing the current zoning. Alderman Richard Platt indicated, that as a member of the planning board, he had been opposed to zoning property with such depth totally Highway Commercial, however he was the first to agree the planning board take another look at both property owner's requests taking into consideration Dr. Leitch's presentation. During his deputation, Dr. Leitch noted that both he and Mr. Hunter provided a service to the community and as well employed local people. Deputy-reeve Catherine Dion in suggesting the matter go back to the planning board again for a further look, indicated she could appreciate both men's concerns. through 1967 he laun- ched his Hawk label in an attempt to showcase struggling young Canadian artists.

Poor weather has little effect on Penetang tourism As everyone knows, the weather so far this summer has been poor. unpredictable and a weekend-wrecker upon occasion. Amazingly enough, revenue dollars are up this year over last at Penetanguishene's two public campsites Robert Street West park and Huronia Park.

A half-dozen people with Canadian Citizens for Bilingual compared to $6,745 for 1979. The increase is partly due to modest rate increases at the camp site. At Robert Street West campsite, the town is $200 ahead of last year's June figures, to $2,900. Parks chairman on the municipal arena, parks and recreation board, Ray Baker, says he has received "excellent reports" from the park staff. He feels it will be another year or so before the campsite Friday, "gains ~--back its credibility" as a quiet place for vacationers. There have been problems in years past with noise and late nigh! disturbances. Boaters increase Town dockmaster Bill Geere says there is also an increase in boat traffic this summer. despite the poor weather. To date 109 boats have tied up overnight at the municipally operated Unity signs were gathered in the parking lot to, they said, remind him the issue of the new French school in Penetanguishene is not dead.

This summer overnight docking has brought 276 visitors to Penetang. Enquiries at the Chamber of Commerce dock office are down And how was your month? During the month of June, members of Midland police force investigated 24 reportable and 14 non- reportable _--motor-ve- hicle accidents in which at least 12 persons suffered a variety of injuries.

The unseasonal weather has definitely contributed to the slower traffic. A Chamber employed estimates only 500 people have made enquiries thus far. although,an exact count has not been kept until this week. The office averages 10 queries per day, "but it's not nearly as good as last sum- mer," the employee feels. Neither is the weather.
