A Sidewalk Sale, or Elmvale Summerfest as it has become known, is set to go this Saturday beginning at 9:30 a.m. and continuing throughout the day. Local businesses will be taking part in the day's activities, and are promoting it as a way of saying thank-you to area shoppers for patronizing their stores.

We launched the summer with a in-class anti-vandalism prog- ram in the Midland elementary schools. During the same week we also held a Senior Citizen night at the Midland town hall and that Sunday we helped with a bike rodeo that was sponsored by the Midland Police Dept. We then began planning our community events starting with Canada Week. This week included a torch light parade, native peoples day, a Canadian film day anda Canadian folk night. The folk night presented excellent local talent but 'unfortuately at- tendence was very poor. We then assisted the organizers of Shondecti by making the sashes worn by the canoeists. As well as assisting with the Shondecti Senior Citizen bus tour. We then looked into Roller Skating in Midland but unfortunately it is Food for thought by Alleyne Attwood, R. Ppt There is no better way that a column on nutrition could be launched, than by talking about Agnes Higgins. When Agnes Higgins began working as a dietitian at the Montreal Diet Dispensary more than 18 years ago, the plight of the pregnant women in one of the poorest areas of Mon- treal appalled and also challenged her. The poverty cycle of families seemed im- possible to break; poor, unemployed, minimal education, frequently low I.Q.'s was the norm and most of the women who came to her for counselling were on welfare. Many were very young and some were unmarried. Agnes Higgins was adamant in her belief that even though a woman was un- dernourished before becoming pregnant, that proper food during the whole nine months of pregnancy would result in a normal baby with a chance, because it would be of normal intelligence, to 'break out of the terrible cycle of poverty. She insisted that her mothers-to--be come to the clinic daily for the extra milk, oranges or the supplements that she felt were needed. She encouraged weight gain at a time when the medical profession was discouraging weight gains of more than 15 pounds. She held strongly to her belief that a low birth weight baby was a disadvantaged baby. Time has proven her theories withaqut a shadow of doubt. Twenty years of carefully kept statistics are staggering in their implications. She states that 50 per cent of our country's mental retardation would be cut if mothers-to-be looked after themselves properly with regard to food, alcohol and medication. One family was cited in which the mother had seven children prior to going to the Diet Dispensary when she became pregnant -for the next three. The history of this family is appalling. Of the first seven children several are retarded, one died, one is currently serving time in the penitentiary, and one young girl, un- married, is pregnant. Of the three children born under the care of the Diet Dispensary, all are normal, bright, well adjusted and _ quite capable of taking their place in the world. Agnes Higgins says emphatically that 'we are programmed at births andl isa sobering thought for those who undertake bringing a child into the world.
