Richâ€" mond Hill‘s chief librarian, in the Gordon MacLaren Auditorium of the main library on Wright St. It is apparent from the increasing demands on the library resources for information and assistance in tracing one's ancestors. that many people are in- terested in researching their family background, said Mrs. Downey, and Mrs. Hart's enthusiasm for this work is very in- fectious and no doubt will lead many to pursue a new hobby In assessing the priorities for the study of genealogy, Mrs. Hart said, it is essential to develop a manuscript file, which should include photographs, news clippings, charts showing births, marriages. deaths. and documents that are the primary sources of past family history and should be preserved for future generations. Such a file opens up a whole new interest in the history. customs and possessions of your an- cestors, as well as an insight into the com- munities in which they lived. The speaker said, many of her important genealogy findings have been gleaned from headstones in cemeteries where her ancestors are buried, and this research comprises an important part of family vacations in the Eastern Provinces and New England States! As a result of the in- terest expressed at the lecture. informal work sessions will be held during April under the guidance of Mrs. Hart.

Deficiencies in B vitamins produce such dread diseases as beriberi, pellagra and pernicious anemia. Modelling finery they plan to wear to the York Central Hospital Auxiliary’s annual White Rose dinner dance at the Prince Hotel May 1 are three of the organizers (left to right) publicity convenor Mrs. Barry Collard, dinner dance convener Mrs. Murn Walker. and auxiliary president Mrs. Leslie Jempson. This major fund-raising event for the hospital has become a highlight of the social season for people in Southern York Region and their friends. Tickets are $35 a couple. and deadline for reservations is April 20. Ticket conveners are Rosemary Bennett. 884- 9005. and Marjorie Blakeley, 889-5504. Although there are usually considered to be nine vitamins in what is spoken of as the “B complex" three of them are much better known than the rest. These three are thiamine (BL). riboflavin (B2) and niacin. Today the B designation for a vitamin really means very little â€" except that it can be dissolved in water and that it contains nitrogen. Suppose. for example, you were difficient in thiamine. Your feet would go numb, and there would be cramping pains in your legs. You Would stumble and finally become paralyzsed. Chances are. with symptons like these. you‘d race to the doctor in preference to filling yourself up with thiamine-rich foods! Getting small amounts of these vitamins is almost unavoidable if you eat at all. Even so, most males get all they need, and the vast majority of females do not. These deficiencies occur especially with thiamine and riboflavin. Dread as they may be. the symptons of any serious deficiency would send any reasonable person rushing to his doctor. . \\ »w\\.\\\\w\\. White Rose preview RICHMOND HEIGHTS CENTRE, RICHMOND HILL RICE’S Fâ€"LOWERS c One of the reasons for this is suspected to be the female concern against “fattening” foods. since these B vitamins are found in such foodaas nuts. pork loin. potatoes, bread, lima beans, and peas. A protection against dietary deficiencies of the B vitamin big three is he enrichment of flours. but it is very possible that these enrichments will have to be boosted in the future. fllllllllllllllllllIllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE §IIIIII|IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllllllllllllllllllllfi Asparagus (1/2 cup) Broiled bacon (3) Banana, medium Com Egg Tuna (3‘2 02‘) Ham, 31/2 ozs.
