Page 6, Terrace Bay-Schreiber News, Wednesday, August 14, 1985 Celebrate summer with lite, = refreshing orange delights Maintaining a slim, trim figure need not mean abs- taining from the glories of eyepleasing, delicious sweets. Valencia oranges, famous for their exquisite and abundant juice, and freshly plucked from Outspan orchards south of the equator, are currently in good supply throughout Canada. Unlike the North American-grown varieties, Outspan Valencia oranges, harvested in the southern hemisphere, are at the peak of their growing season right now. They're bursting with sweet juice - perfect for eating "'au naturel", but also ideal for adding that special fresh quality to a multitude of recipes, especially refreshing desserts. Cut in wedges and eaten out of hand, these delicious oranges are the perfect answer to summer's crav- ings for sweets and extra energy. But the versatile summer fresh Valencia also is great used in these new, slim and trim summer recipes from Outspan. Although it appears to be loaded with calories, this gloriously delicious cheesecake is as light as a cloud and marvelously flavoured by the fresh oranges. It's of the no-bake variety, so you won't have to heat up your kitchen to make this always-popular dessert. Preparation takes less than 30 minutes and the cake will set up in your refrigerator and be ready- to-serve in about 2 hours, so keep it in mind for those days when you're short of time.

But it also brings searing temperatures, high humidi- ty, and increasingly high energy bills for air condi- tioning. To help you stay cool and comfortable dur- ing these hot summer months and to defeat those shockingly high energy bills, just follow these "Tips for summer comfort": * during intense hours of afternoon sunshine, draw curtains and close windows and doors * hang laundry on a line outside to avoid using your clothes dryer; take advan- tage of that warm summer air ; * barbecue outdoors to avoid using the oven * shade windows with southern exposure with an overhang or awning - an especially effective way to reduce heat gain * set air conditioner ther- mostat at the highest com- fortable level and avoid turning up or down - each degree a thermostat is rais- ed. in the summer can reduce fuel consumption by about three per cent * add insulation to the at- tic or basement of your home to help reduce energy bills year round * caulk and weatherstrip around doors and windows to avoid any air leakage * lower hot water ther- mostat to 45°C during warm weather - this temperature provides a suf- ficient amount of hot water Help your Heart Fund Help your Heart for summer usage * wrap hot water tank with insulation - keep the heat where you need it Ron Galbraith of Fiberglas Canada explains: "Insulation is an extreme- ly effective energy-saving device in hot summer months. In summer, in- sulation also works to keep warm air outside and cool air inside, therefore, lessening the need for air conditioning." ' Smoking... - continued from page 5 the proportion of regular smokers. in Canada decreased from approx- imately 40.6 per cent to 31.1 per cent. According- -ly, the proportion of non- smokers increased from 52.9 per cent to 64 per cent. ; Men were more likely to smoke than women in all age groups except those ages 15-19 and 20-24. For these age groups, the pro- portion of female smokers was identical to the propor- tion of male smokers, 20.3 per cent and 37.3 per cent respectively. The report also suggests there may be an increase in the number of cigarettes smoked by regular smokers. Between 1970 and 1983, the proportion smoking over 25 cigarettes a day increased for both men. and women. The relative increases were 31.1 percent and 57.1 per cent. In 1983, approx- imately 16 per cent of males smoked over a pack a day compared to 8.8 per cent of females. Almost 40 per cent of smokers surveyed said they had tried to quit smoking within the previous year. fa DRYCLEANING SERVICES PHOTO PRINTS -- TERRACE BAY TRAVEL REST -- SCHREIBER , to August 31st Heavy Sleeping bags Bedspreads Blankets 825-3776 winter coats and parkas NOW .
