consultant Wednesday speak ing to the Simcoe ounty hapter of the Solar Energy Society of Canada Solar heating especially from prefabricated units is an expensive undertaking said lack Liibek an engineer with Middleton Associates Toronto Im not trying to discourage you he said in his discussion on the design cost and impacts of solar heating units in the home Economically however no one should think about building solar heating unit unless they are going to build it themselves lrefabricated units at cost of about $3000 can be pur chased from more than 30 min panies In anada Most frequently it is those who believe fuel costs will con tinue to rise who build solar units In survey conducted during the meeting Lubek found most chapter members expected fuel costs to rise fstcr than the rate of inflation Lubek conceded however that if fuel costs escalate higher than expected he and others may have iinderestiiiiated the tliltilillt Villllt til Stllill heating The surey also

The Examiner Wanted dependable women with time on their hands The Simcoe ounty health unit is looking for volunteers to supplement its nursing pro gram staff The ideal candidates would be retired nurses or school teachers who want to get out into the community occasional ly says Florence Iomlinson director of the nursing pro gram We will give them the train ing but they must be willing to give the time to it says Miss limlinson The idea of using volunteers is new thing to the health unit and hasnt been given enough attention throughout the province she says The health units nursing pro gram has currently enlisted about 315 volunteers to work on special vision screening project to detect amblyopia or lazy eye among three year old children in the county But this was only designed to coincide with International Year of The hild says Miss ionilinson Enthusiasm among the volunteers has been high because the project deals with children she says and if the volunteers are really interested we can see lot of other possibilities fortheiruse The health unit would like to establish hcring tests for three year olds as well says Miss lonilinsoii and this could be the next logical step for volunteers The nursing programs staff are constantly involved in other facets of public health such as immunization clinics prenatal classes and even controlling outbreaks of head lice in schools and could always use an extra pair of hands Miss Tomlinson says If we had volunteers to help in the process the nurses wouldnt hac to do halt dozen things at once Many of the projects where volunteers can help would only be short term says Miss lomlinsoii The sort of things parent might want to do The volunteers might hopefully become as much part of the unit as its own stall she says

five years We own our home and have beautiful life together So what is my problem My mother We fought 24 hours day When turned 19 moved out to keep my sanity Mother never forgave me for deserting her and embarrassing her in front of her friends if they only knew the beatings she gave me the screaming and grief left behind No one would believe it Ive tried so hard to get my mother to like me Last Mothers Day sent her flowers She threw them in the trash can in my presence Why is it that this late in life miss not having mother Last week went to the zoo alone While watching the gorillas theyre fascinating the maternal instincts were so touching cried ive been depressed ever since Why cant my mother forgive me for leaving home even though Im willing to forget those 19 years of grief Why do keep trying to get her to like me My father and have wonderful relationship Please help Am hild At 29 Dear 29 One who has not been adequately loved by the principal person in his or her life carries the scars forever But understanding why the love was not forthcoming will free you from your prison of sadness Please get counselling It will help you see that the cause of your mothers inability to love you is not due to deficien cy in you but in her Dear Ann Landers was interested in the Dying Per sons Bill of Rights While it has great merit may suggest couple of alterations have the right to die in peace and dignity Because there is often little dignity in the terminal period of ones life in humanitarian manner would be more appropriate since it implies that the patient deserves to be as comfortable as possible during that period t2i have the right to expect that the sanctity of the human body will be respected after death Respect for the sanctity of the human body after daath may be interpreted by some to mean that the body must be buried intact This would reduce the availability of organs such as corneas and kidneys which would enable the blind to see or the person with kidney failure to be free of cumbersome dialysis unit Furthermore this statement implies an objection to an autopsy which can be an invaluable contribution by the deceased An autopsy can provide knowledge to confirm diagnosis or lead to the discovery of unrecognized conditions which could be boon to medical science and promote better care for future patients believe the patient should have options such as the one expressed in the following statement have the right to expect that the sanctity of the human body will be respected after death but this does not preclude the postmortem examination or the donation of any bodily organs which may benefit others Mi Rochester Minn Dear Ml Both suggestions are excellent Thank you for writing Erma Bombeck Diets mean compromise The Diet Workshop recently came up with survey that didnt hold too many surprises The most hated food among dieters is liver Anyboclys Personally dont like to eat anything that moves when cook it excites the dog or inflates on impact with your teeth used to go to weightecontrol group that preached the gospel of liver think the slogan they used was Drink liver malt with someone you love We all tried to disguise liver by working our quota of it into other parts of the diet lid everything but put dress on mine It didnt help Liver is not like any other food KNUW Its the kind that when you drop it you find yourself apologizing to it have met few pro liver people iii my time although try not to cultivate them They are usually people who sit around and make ridiculous statements like an you get any rhubarb in this town or didnt like eels either until tried them in butter ihey ill regalc you for hours on their favorite methods of cooking liver and what you have to do to kill the taste but Ive never converted Even in my fantasies cant see Sophia Loren Jaclyn Smith or heryl liegs having liver breath even for hip bones Ive done lot of compromising during my diet years which began the year afte was married and my knees began to blouse pretended to crave lettuce sneaked carrot sticks into my bedroom and ate them under the covers and even layered cottage cheese and pretended it was cake but liver have done lot of thinking on the subject as to why liver is thinning Some people think it is because food has to taste bad to make you look good This is an old wives tale and is simply not true The reason why liver makes you that land why two per cent of the dieters polled refused to even try iti is because liver goes long way Not only will pound of it feed city the size of Seattle for an entire month but single spoonful of liver into the mouth of dietee will be chewed for three days thus eliminating all the fattening food you might have eaten Billys Pointers Pastry brush cleans iron DEAR POLLY

starch is very satisfactory Stretch and pin the snowflakes to the desired shape on one of those cardboards that holds bolts of material in store Most stores will gladly give you one Place waxed paper between the board and snowflakes and be sure to shake the spray can well while spraying Saturate them with the spray and then put the bolt end out of the way and allow the crochet to dry thoroughly about 24 hours They will be stiff and white and the waxed paper allows the excess starch to stiffen the underside too LINDA DEAR POLLY Recently one of the readers asked what she could do with birthday
