One week will be devoted to commerical businesses and industries and another will con centrate on roadway pick-up and public areas.

address was “The Real Meaning of Easter.” Dr. Knife said Easter is not new clothes, chocolate bunnies, colored eggs, a holiday, or going to church on Sunday. Instead Easter is really the resurrection of Jesus Christ which demonstrates hope, power, and life. After the resurrection Jesus told his followers to go out and make disciples of all nations. This power of the resurrection is the true meaning of Easter. The Easter program included special music by the Tri Tones, a trio from the North Webster United Methodist Church Choir. They sang “The Holy City,” “Ten Thousand Angels,’’ and “Because He Lives” for the program. The members of the trio are Gloria Shipley, Sheila Bowen, Charmion Blacklidge, and the accompanist, Barbara Bartels. . { Dean McFadden, chairman of the Kiwanis spiritual aims committee, arranged for the program.

The chamber will be monitoring the project and will have weekly news releases explaining, in more detail, the goal of the different phases. Another committee member, Dennis Wagoner explained “the pride instilled this spring coupled with the past spirit of the lakes area should make this one of the most desirable areas to reside and vacation.

R.N., diabetic coordinator and Barb Fierce, registered dietician. The three classes will discuss the care of the diabetic, how a diet works and how diabetes affects the body. More than 10,000 people in the US are estimated to have diabetes, a disease when the body either does not produce enough insulin or may not be able to use what is produced. Diabetes affects young and old and cannot be cured. It can be controlled, however, with proper diet, exercise and insulin. There is no charge for the session.

Paul Refior, Warsaw attorney representing the landowners, asked the judge for more time to examine transcripts and documents presented to the court by the Area Planning Office.

Dieting

By PATRICIA M. RATHBUN Extension Agent. Home Ec Dieting. It seems to be one of America’s favorite pastimes. An 4, estimated 50 million people are dieting at any one time. New books on “fad” diets continue to join the list of best sellers. There’s one that tells you to eat protein, protein, and more protein; another that concentrates on carbohydrates and little or no protein; a third reduces calories and offers liquid protein; and a fourth offers endless fruit. The fact is, “fad” diets don’t work. None of them produces any long-term beneficial changes for the vast majority of people who try them. It’s true that most result in some weight loss in the first few weeks, but a lot of that may be water loss, not fat. When regular eating habits are resumed, the weight quickly returns. Some people wind up gaining even more than before going on the diet. But gaining back lost pounds is not the only shortcoming of “fad” diets. Such diets can also pose a serious threat to health because they deprive the body of essential nutrients. The key to successful, healthy dieting lies in a proper understanding of how we gain and lose weight coupled with a responsible attitude toward eating, and frequently a change in eating habits. The only way to. lose weight is to consume fewer calories than the body burns. Unused calories are stored as fat. Thirty-five thousand extra calories will produce one pound of unwanted fat. The only way to lose that pound is to eliminate 3,500 calories. The best diet is slow and steady. Extra pounds weren’t gained overnight. By losing gradually, you allow yourself to make permanent changes in eating habits and attitudes that led to the weight gain. So what began as a diet becomes away of life, and the lost weight stays lost. One or two pounds per week is a good rate of weight reduction. Balanced food intake is essential. Your body needs the nutrients contained in the basic four. The body relies on food to provide essential protein, carbohydrates, fats, minerals and vitamins. Weight loss should not

come at the expense of any food group. It's not what you eat, but how much of it. The number of calories consumed is the key to weight loss. Favorite foods don’t have to be left out, just eat them in smaller portions. By carefully choosing the foods that you eat, you can develop meals that are satisfying, nutritious, and low in calories. Losing weight is not an easy task. It requires lots of determination and motivation. Sensible dieting, based on good nutrition and behavior change is your guide to reducing once and for all. Upcoming Program “Simple and Inexpensive Decorating” will be discussed on Tuesday, April 5, at 7 p.m. in the basement meeting room of the Justice Building, Warsaw. The program will be presented by Cathy Burkett, Extension Home Economist from Starke County. She will offer decorating tips and inexpensive do-it-yourself projects that “make” a room.
