It contains more iron, more thiamine,; and is much more satisfying than bread, contributes a significant amount 6f Vitamin C to the diet and is a relatively cheap zource of food energy. For these reasons, potatoes should be ACQUISITIONS, ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND ACCOLADES â€"These have been the three A‘s of the RCAF during 1961.

Try cooking potatoes in their jackets instead of peeling them. This way you save valuable food nutrients, such ms iron, which lie just beneath the skin. It takes only a second to slip the skins off boiled potatoes before mashing and serving them. . Serve potatoes whole or in pieces frequently (mashing reâ€" duces the Vitamin C cuntent) and sprinkle with chopped parâ€" sley or chives for variety. When you plan to serve bakâ€" ed potatoes, pick out smooth, mediumâ€"sized ones so that they will bake in the same length of time. Scrub well and rub the skin with melted fat or salad oil. (Do not prick.) Then pop them into a preâ€"heated oven of 425 deg. F. for about 40 minâ€" utes before serving. When they are soft to squeeze, prick at orce to let out the steam. For variety, cut a slit or cross in the top of each potato, before serving. Pinch gently to make the potato puff up, and top with butter or Ontario cheddar cheese. Serve immediately. > Transâ€"Canada (McKee) Trophy (4) which was awarded to delivered, the 190 aireraft will allow alljet training in the RCAF.

Wile liam Hamilton, Postmaster Genâ€" erdl, in a yearâ€"ehd statement. Mr. Hamilton said that <while final figures for 1961 had not yet been compiled, every indicaâ€" tion â€"was that both volumes and revenues would exceed last year‘s recordâ€"breaking figures. In addition to setting new perâ€" formance figures, Mr. Hamilton noted that 1961 had been an imâ€" portant year in .introducing changes and improvements in the postal service, and increased emphasis was being placed on the problems of the user of post office services, as well as how the department might adjust its operations to‘ suit the convenâ€" â€"ience of such patrons., One such change, Mr. Hamâ€" ilton noted, was a system whereâ€" by . Canada‘s Postmen, who already knocked twice, would arrange for special service for people who are not at home when the Letter Carrier arrives with * registered mail, C.0.D. items and Shortpaid letters. The new service, provided on an opâ€" Canada may have a serious outbreak of influenza this winâ€" ter if predictions of U.S. medâ€" ical authorities are accurate. _ It has been pointed out that Asian flu outbreaks come in twoâ€"toâ€"three year cycles and it has been dormant on this conâ€" tinent since" March, 1960. Also Type B flu comes in fourâ€"toâ€" six year cycles and it has been more than six years since there has been much Type B in North America, although both types of fluâ€" were prevalent in other countries last year. In England Type B is said to have been the direct cause of more than ©1,000 deaths and the contribuâ€" tory cause of several thousand more. A similar epidemic exâ€" perienced in England in 1951 reached this continent the folâ€" lowing year. e The "high risk" groups whic should be protbcted by vaceinâ€" ation include: persons with pulâ€" monary disease, diabetics, Heart disease and ‘other chronic: ailâ€" ments; persons over 65 years old; and pregnant women. Help against the real dangâ€" ers of Asian flu, the secondary infections like pneumonia or "strep throat", is also provided by disinfection. Disinfectants have shown their power to conâ€" trol these bacteria, which could become specially dangerous to jlu patients whose resistance to infection has been lowered.. While vaccination represents the first line of defence against flu, diligent and regular disinâ€" fection of the home by houseâ€" wives can play a significant role in checking its spread. Influenza is spread" through close contact with infected perâ€" sons or with the virus in the free air and, indirectly, by inâ€" haling virus particles which have settled first on household surfaces and then been redisâ€" persed into the atmosphere. _ Disinfecting household surâ€" faces regularly with a fluâ€"tested disinfectant, such as Lysol, will Influenza Epidemic This Winter? cost of 25 cents to the patron, ceived.

Lysol added to. regular washing solutions will disinfect sych important surface areas as: nursery, bathroom, kitchen, doorknobs, stair rails, food disâ€" posal, children‘s toys, .closets and blankets. The disinfectant solution should be applied also to all porcelain surfaces, â€" on linoleum or tile floors and on walls and furniture. _ Where a member of the famâ€" ily suffers from flu, the folâ€" lowing disinfectant procedures should be followed: ‘ â€"Mop floor or sickroom daily with clean mop thoroughly dampened with disinfectant 4 solution (2% tablespoons of .

Sixâ€"Mile Lake Park To Have Improvements An\active development proâ€" gram is being carried on at Sixmile Lake Provincial park this winter to provide further facilities for the anticipated inâ€" creased use in 1962. During the 1961 season Sixmile L-?Pnrk showed a much greater fherease in use as compared with the previous year, than any other provincial park in the Lake Simcoe district and continued popularity is expected in fuâ€" ture. The present area of the park, which is located on highway 103 approximately 6 miles north of Port Severn, is 177 acres, The topography presents an interâ€" esting contrast to other parks in the district being located on the southern edge of the Preâ€" cambrian shield with its rugâ€" ged land form and frequent rock outcroppings. The property is well wooded and clozely resemâ€" bles conditions usually found in wilderness areas. Picnickers and campers, reâ€" turning to Sixmile Lake part next summer, will see a numâ€" ber of improvements resulting from this winter‘s development program.. Most noticeable is the increase in camping facilities with an additional 60 campsites established. Also. being conâ€" structed ig, a new office and control building at the park enâ€" trance, expanded and improved beach facilities, additional drinkâ€" ing water outlets, more car parking and other minor imâ€" provements. It is always wise to be preâ€" pared for sickness or accident in the home. It may be someone siecsk with a common cold or it could be‘a more serious illness requiring a period in bed. Plenty of paper tissues, dusting powder and rubbing alcohol should _ be _ available. Clean towels and tace cloths, a dr-kll thermometer and . hot ter bottle or heating pad are also good things to have handy. Agâ€" pirin may be required and any toilet articles the patient might use should also be kept in good supply. Drinking glasses covered with a small plastic bag to keep out dust or flies are‘ usefal. Thest things can be km on an emergency shelf so that any need for quickly. BE PREPARED can be filled advances the necessary postage, despatches the item by air and follows up with, a special card sender, Mr. Hamilton said the Department had recéived high praise from mailers who appreâ€" eiated the Post Office action to ensure speedy air transport of their mail. A new method of distributing 2 cent and § cent postage stamps packaged in sealed cellulose film bags was also introduced during the year. Valued at one dollar, the packaged stamps are not only protected against moisture. and heat but also provide maxiâ€" mum sanitary protection from the printing stage to the point of sale at the postal wicket. They have proved to be an addâ€" ed convenience for patrons as the unused stamps can: be reâ€" tained in the package, kept with ease and safety in pocket or purse, and at the same time reâ€" duce the number of calls a paâ€" tron normally makes for the purchase. of stamps. The new packages have proved so popular that the Post Office has been unable to keep up with public demand. In the offing for early 1962, the Postmaster General stated that new tagged postage stamps of the one cent to five cent deâ€" nominations will go on sale in Winnipeg. They will. be used to activate an automatic maâ€" chine soon to be unveiled at the Winnipeg Post Office that will provide the first electronic seâ€" gregation and cancelling of letâ€" ter mail in America, Hospital Requirements For Children Studied . By Ont. Hospital Assoc. A special ‘committee to study hospital requirements for childâ€" ren in the Greater Torontg area will be established soon by the Ontario Hospital Association. Major objectives of the study are: to determine present and future needs for active treatâ€" ment and chronic beds; to inâ€" vestigate needs for additional cardiac surgery facilities, cereâ€" bral palsy centres and rehabiliâ€" tation units; and to study future needs as regards teaching facilâ€" ities. C It is anticipated that the comâ€" mittee will also bring forth recommendations as to where the required additional beds should be located. Pediatric reâ€" search facilities, and dental and emotional needs of children will also be considered. The‘ committee is the outâ€" growth of discussions held beâ€" tween officials of the Ontario Hospital Association and the Hospital for Sick Children, all of. whom were unanimous in their opinion that, for the sake of our voluntary hospital sysâ€" tem, such a study should be undertaken by a. voluntary group. .'.
