FLAG DAY JUNE 14 Saturday, June 14 is Flag Day. This day set aside to pay special respect to the flag of our country, seems to come and go over the years in the minds of most people. There are periods of years when Flag Day seems to mean a lot, and then there are periods of years when it slips by without so much as a thought. People become more aware of the Flag and their country, when occasions call for it. Os course during a time of war or conflict one is always aware of their own flag and very aware for other reasons of the other side’s banner. Probably the most popular use of the flag and one that made everyone so aware of it was the 2OOth birthday of our country some 10 years ago when celebrations were held all over the country commemorating this famous birthday. Flags of all the years of America’s history were displayed and prominent all over the land. From the earliest flags of the colonies to the now 50 starred banner of today, they all were popular and displayed continually. The interest lived on for a few years and then began to die out again to a low point where it seems to be at this time in our history. There used to be a simple, but impressive program in Walkerton every year on Flag Day, held for several years in the Urey park downtown Walkerton, and also held at other places such as the school, etc. However, this program has been missing for several years now and because of that attention is not called to “Old Glory’’ as it used to be. If you have a flag, be sure and display it at least on Saturday, June 14, if not everyday. This is still the symbol we can be proud of and one that has flown over a free and plentiful nation for over 200 years, representing the dreams, goals and achievements of Americans throughout their history. HI DAD! Hi Dad! That is something that one very seldom sees an athlete or any individual that gets in front of a TV camera say. It is always a wave and a “Hi Mom’’ that flashes across the screen. Sunday, June 15 is Father’s Day. This is a day to honor the fathers all over the land. Despite the fact that it isn’t in proportion to Mother’s Day, this day will have people of all ages remembering “Dad” on this special occasion. And well they should. Dads are pretty special themselves. If you have a father living, take a little time this Sunday or this weekend and let that special man know you still think he is number one. A visit or a phone call can mean so much to Dad, not only on his day, but any day. We would like to extend a very happy Father’s Day to the dads all over the land. Sunday is the special day for that special Dad.

EATING SMART PUT FIBER IN YOUR DAY

Todays consumers choose foods that balance good taste with healthy eating. It’s easy to find foods that taste good, but deciding which foods are “healthy” is another matter. One current recommendation for improving nutrition and health emphasizes selecting a wide variety of foods including more fruits, vegetables and grains that are high in fiber This recommendation is based on current scientific evidence suggesting that diets too low in fiber and too high in fat may contribute to such health problems as diverticular disease and to some long-term illnesses such as colon cancer Research continues to assess how what we eat affects our health and whether certain foods may actually inhibit the development of disease The parts of plant food that cannot be digested are dietary fiber. Dietary fiber is made up of several components, each of which may have a specific role in body functions. Choosing a diet that contains a variety of high-fiber foods helps to assure that you have received the benefits of all types of fiber Good sources of fiber include fresh fruits and vegetables like broccoli, carrots, oranges and apples; legumes and whole-grain and highfiber breads and cereals Most Americans currently consume 10-20 grams of fiber per day. The National Cancer Institute recommends that we increase this level to 25-35 grams per day and that a vari-
