l_ l l 1 RIDEAU LAKES UNION LIBRARY BOARD NEWS Plans are well underway for the celebrations planned for the tenth anniversary of the Union library system. All councils will be requested to proclaim June lst to 8th as Union Library Week. On June 1, 8: Z, a special weekend of activities, with guests from across the Province as well as the surrounding area, has been arranged. It will include special exhibits in all branches, showing the work of local artisans, as well as the various services offered by the Union library, the Regional system as well as the Provincial Library services. The participating councils will be hosting a small reception for invited guests including past Board members and staff, at Hotel Kenney, Jones Falls. The out-of-town guests will be staying at the Opinicon Hotel, where, on June 3, a workshop, planned by the Association of Small Public Libraries of Ontario will take place. Tours of all branches of the Union will be undertaken as well as visits to local tourist sites. The general public is cordially invited to participate in the open events. More information is available at YOUR branch of the Rideau Lakes Union Library. We have a lot to celebrate; ten years of service to the area residents as well as the acquisition, through the kind auspices of the Sweet family of Seeley's Bay, of a brand new building to house that village's library. Through the on-going support of councils, you, the general public, and of course, the activities of board members and staff, we have developed a library system well respected across the library community.

I’ve got to lose 10 lbs. by Satur- day. My sister is getting married and my brides- maid's dress doesn't fit." Lose 10 lbs. by Saturday? A good seamstress, or even a corsetiére, will have more luck fitting you into your bridesmaid’s dress than any threeday crash diet. As you know, there are any number of weight- reducing diet aids on the market today. None of them are magic and all are designed to be partof a total package of diet modifica- tion and regular, solid exer- cise. Your local pharmacy probably stocks several commercial, non-prescrip tion diet products. Basically there are four types. The bulk-producers are one of these. They givea feeling of fullness in order to decrease appetite. The theory here is: If you feel full, you eat less. For some people this works, for oth- ers it does not. If you eat more because you like the taste of what you eat, bulk- roducing agents will be of imited assistance. Slen- dor® and Biodiet® chewa- ble tablets are typical bulk- producing diet aids. Then there are the prod- ucts which are meant to de crease taste sensitivity. The thinking behind these is: If you cannot really taste the food you eat, you eat less. These products con- tain benzocaine, a local anesthetic. It numbs the mouth. SIim-Mint® gum, Ap redrine® and Figure- Ai ® are examples of diet products containing benze- came. Almost all of us have grown up with mothers who warned us notto eatbe~ fore meals or “you’ll spoil your appetite.” There are diet aids which work on this approach, too. They con- tain glucose. It’s a sugar and groducts containing it are ought to satisfy the appetite center in the brain. Ayds® candy is a very fa- miliar example of this sort. Lastly, you will probably find all-in-one formula diets, such as Metrecal® and Silhouette® at your local pharmacy. Formula diets are meant to replace one, two, or three meals a day. Not only can they be come very monotonous quite quickly but, ifused for long periods of time, they can cause constipation. Don't use a formula diet for more than two weeks with- You‘ve heard it said a hundred times: To lose weight, you must burn more calories than you con- sume. That’s will power â€" the critical key to any suc- cessful, modest weight re duction program. Although over-the- oounter diet aids are of li- mited benefit, they all em- ploy one striking psycho logical factor. They cost money. By spending money on a diet aid, people tend to persuade themselves that they are truly serious about losing those few pounds. For a few pounds here and there, that may be all the edge you need - just not 10 lbs. in three days. Ask your pharmacist for advice. You’ll still want to lose those pounds after the wedding. Your pharmacist can help you sort out the many products available to you. An advisor column written by e Cana- dian Pharmaceutical Association, Ottawa, Ontario.
