is on the English-language list will go into the French system, and his or her school taxes will go too.If you have a child now in an English school, you're automatically on the English list, but if you don\u2019t, then you must act, first by filling out the coupon due to be sent out to all other households and returning it immediately; or, failing this, by getting your name on the list during the revision period at the end OUT OF DATE of the month.School board elections used to be considered a bit of a yawner.Few people bothered to vote and or even verify their eligibility to vote.No more.Failure to act now will be difficult to remedy later, and whining after the fact won't do any good at all.Nothing would please certain elements in government more than the failure of anglo voters

slightly smaller scale and is still in use.Some additions bave been made but the original building remains.SEEK HIGHER PRICE FOR THEIR MILK The Huntingdon branch of the Montreal Milk Producers, decided to recommend to the milk commission that the price of milk to producers during the summer months be raised, on account of the greater expense under which farmers will be obliged to carry on this year.because of the shortage of seed grain amongst the farmers due to the failure o the grain crop in this district last year.Then again, the general level of prices for commodities which farmers

group urges voters to check eligibility requirements The Quebec School Boards Association (QSBA) is calling upon the English-speak- ing community to take an active interest in the up-coming school board elections.Quebec voters will go to the polls on Sunday, June 14, to elect school board commissioners for the new English and French-language school boards which will legally come into force on July 1.The Association represents the nine new English-language boards across Quebec.All eligible voters who identify with the English language school system must ensure they are registered on the voters\u2019 list for the English-language board whose territory covers their domicile.Parents who have a child registered in an English-language school for 1998-99 school year are automatically placed on the voters\u2019 list of the English language school board.All other electors who meet the general voter eligibility requirements (i.e.Canadian citizen, 18 years of age, domiciled in Quebec for at least six months) have the choice of participating in either the English or French language school board election.The Association also urges all voters to pay careful attention to voter registration information which will be mailed to households throughout Quebec during the next several days.These notices, which will be prepared by the Director- General of Elections (DGE), will identify individuals who are enrolled on Quebec's permanent voters\u2019 list and who have the option of voting in the English-language school board election.The notices will allow voters to make use of a tear-off slip indicating their choice which can be cither mailed (postage pre-paid) to the Chief Returning Officer of the English language school board or taken in to one of the electoral revision offices to be established in their territory.Failure to register on the English language voters\u2019 list will automatically result in the eligible voter being registered on the voters\u2019 list for the French-language school board.Voters will be able to file requests to correct errors or omissions regarding their registration through revision offices, which will be open on May 21, 22, 23, 28 and 29, with the finalized voters\u2019 list coming into effect on June 4.The QSBA urges all eligible voters to exercise their rights and to take an active interest in these important

IN THE ELDERLY The vitamin supplement market has grown quickly.The publicity and advertising has become very aggressive and has succeded in convincing many people to take these products.Their success is based on the fact that many people believe that their diet is inadequate which is, in fact, not the case.Vitamins include chemical compounds which are essential for life.t provide ener av.but do play an important role in a multitude of biochemincal processes.Our diet should provide sufficient quantities of vitamins on a continuous basis to meet the needs of our bodies.There are two kinds of vitamins - the hydroso- luables {water soluable) and the liposoluables (fat soluable).The hydrosoluables cannot be stored up in the organism.This means that when a high dose of these vitamins Is ingested, the excess is eliminated in the urine.As opposed to liposoluable vitamins which are stored in the liver and fat, taking too many of these can cause an accumulation which can be toxic.Minerals are found in all living cells.They are found in great quantities in our foods.The most important minerals are: calcium, phosphorus and magnesium.Others are present in smaller quantities such as iron, zinc, iodine, copper, manganese, fluorine, chromium, selenium and molybdenum.The importance of these elements is well known for building bones and teeth, muscular contractility and for the formation of blood components and other functions.The importance of having a balance diet does not need to be restated and is as much a con cern for senior citizens as it is for adults or children.The elderly people have the same nutritional requirements as adults.We do not actually know if illness, stress and the chronic use of medications imply an increase in the nutr- tional needs of certain peo le.Is a supplement justified?ideally, all needs should be met through n i Supplement of all sorts cannot replace a good, healthy diet But if in fact certain foods are absent from your diet by your own tastes or some other reason, an adequate supplement is necessary.As an example, a senior citizen who does not take any milk products must absolutely compensate with a calc um supplement to avoid bone disintegration and fractures.A senior citizen who eats a var ety of foods from all food groups [fruits and vegetables, meat and substitutes, milk products, and bread and cereals) should have no need to take a vitamin or mineral supplement.Before buying a supplement, consult your pharmacist or your doctor.They will be able to rec- comend and adequate product if it is necessary.Sophie Goneau pharmacist Program Coordinator Les Centres du Haut St-Laurent (ais) pour H'don\u2019s SQ detachment reports a busy week Unknown vandals went on a window- on April 22, they found 29 marijuana breaking spree last week in Huntingdon.seedlings.A 35-year-old man was arrest- Rocks were hurled through windows of ed and will be charged with growing is.school buses parked at Chateauguay St.\u2019s Autobus Roland Leduc's lot, while company vehicles parked nearby at Cable Vision Haut-St-Laurent were also targetted.The double-paned back doors of Ecole Notre Dame were reported broken by shots from a pellet-gun.Witnesses told the Huntingdon Sûreté du Québec they saw teenagers running away from one scene.Havelock fires The Huntingdon SQ is investigating the cause of a May 2 fire which started in a garage and spread to the attached house on St-Charles St.in Havelock, causing $50,000 in damages.A welder's spark is blamed for causing another fire in a Rte.202 Havelock garage.Minor damages of $5,000 were reported.Firemen arrived quickly and saved the building, police said.Theft A Yardman 12.5 h.p.lawn tractor valued at $1,700 was stolen overnight April 26-27 from a First Concession residence in Hinchinbrooke.Hit-and-run The victim of a two-vehicle accident left without stopping after a collision at the intersection of York and Bouchette Sts.in Huntingdon on April 25.The other driver told police a red Aerostar van was involved.Both vehicles are believed to be damaged.Found The owner of a blue 10-speed CCM bicycle may call the Huntingdon SQ at 264-5384 to claim his or her property.The bike was found on York St.A 14-foot fiberglass boat was found on the shores of Lake St.Francis in St-Anicet.Ste-Martine Automobile pleased to announce the nomination of Mr.Mark McDougall among their team, as a sales representative.He takes the opportunity to invite his friends to come meet him.ps TETE -
