Then it is delivered . by over 1,800 paper boys. The press is run by 54 electric motors. There are 14 electri- cians and mechanics there in case the press breaks down.

I am sure everyone in the Media Class who went tiled an interesting time." Co mputera t Waterloo day On Saturday, Mr. Kennedy and any interested Math students at- tended a Computer Day at the University of . Waterloo. The group went with a busload from Clinton and had a very interest- ing day. They were shown through Waterloo's extensive computer centre and were given instructions in operating the computers. They were then al- lowed to run any programme they wished through the com- puter. All in • all the group agreed that they had a fascinating and enjoyable time. Weight training This year, a new club has been started for the more muscle bound segment of our male stu- dent body. Two nights a week, Monday and Wednesday, Mr. Rus- sell has been conducting weight training sessions. This gives those interested an opportunity to work out with the equipment at the school. So far the turn- out has been rather small and so the students are reminded that anyone interested is needed and welcome to attend. Wrestling The wrestlers, under the dir- ection of Mr. Renshaw, have re- sumed practising again ter another year in preparation for their first match of the- sea- son. About 15 boys have turned out this year and Seaforth has competitors to fill 11 of 15 possible weight categories. Mark Consitt is holding up his end well at 90 "lbs. with Barry' Gor- don it thd other end of the scale at 230 lbs. Mr, Renshaw has high hopes for his boys this year with over half his team having had experience in wrest- ling. we wish the boys luck in their first match Thursday at Exeter against Clinton, Park- hill and Exeter. Arthritis has been traced in one million-year-old fossils of Man. More recent types and Egyptian mummies provide later samples. The Romans, whp built baths to help relieve the pain of arthritis and to increase mobi- lity in the affected- joints, at- tested early to the soothing ef- fects of hydrotherapy, still one of the important forms of treatment. The vastness of the problem Oen then was underscored by the large number of such baths constructed throughout the Roman _Empire. Thus, the origiura_of physiother- apy go back to antiquity - in- cluding therapeutic exercise and massage, which often followed bathing in hot water or-hot mud. Ironically, beneficial modali- ties and assistive mechanical de- vices employed effectively in physiotherapy, have provided a base from which the unscrupu- lous "medicine man". or pro- moter could "take off",in more bizarre and impressive fashions by creating what might seem at first to be related devices and methods. Fed further by the fact that the exact cause of ar- thritis and a specific cure for it are not yetknown,quack ,,cures" and nostrums have reached the proportions of a several million dollars annual racket. The "cures" for a ritis have, over the years, ran from wrapping oneself in the skin of a wolf, or a wildcat, to al- falfa tea,, blackstrap molasses and healing uranium dirt. One of the early quacks in history is said to have duped President George Washington in- to being his patient. As long ago as, 1796, the gentleman in question, Dr. Elisha Perkins, or- iginated the electro-magnetic era of the charlatan with his paten- ted devices, which he called me- tallic "tractors". Consisting of two rods, he claimed they had the power to yank out this dis- ease as they were pulled down- ward over the victim's affected part. Nowadays, however, arth- tritics are increasingly likely to be offered treatment that is less colourful, but more hazardous. They are not only wasting money, but time. When they realize self-medication is futile, the dis- ease has often progressed be- yond help and hope. Arthritis is a disease which has been historically character- ized by an excess of misinforma- tion. The problem stems from built-in confusions, such as the mysterious and unknown cause, or causes, or arthritis, and the fact that individual patients, though diagnoSed as having the same variety of the disease, may respond 'to 'different treatment regimens. ,,Rember that there is no -quick cure for arthritis," cau- tions The Canadian Arthritis Soc- iety. ',Furthermore, there is no scientific evidence that hot springs, mineral waters, or a warm, dry climate, are more beneficial than proper care at home. in stable climates symp- toms may, however, be less fre- quent." Because the cause is still unknown, cure and prevention of rheuatoid arthritis are not pos- sible at this' time. But if it is diagnosed early, and if prompt Individualized treatment is given, along with a working knowledge of the disease, serious disabling consequences can be prevented in four out of five patients. Only a doctor can make a correct diagnosis and plan, a suitable proper program. For many years, little at- tention was paid to the broad field of rheumatology, with only • the infectious forras of arthritis and gout considered treatable. There was an Overwhelming sense of hopelessness about the disease. Its most prevalent forms, osteoarthritis and rhe- matoid arthritis, were largely ignored. Modern treatment concen- trates on preventing disability and deformity. Treatment var- ies from one kind of rheumatic disease to another, and from one patient to another. The main elements for most patients are est,- simple drugs, thera- peut exercise and patient ed- uc ion. The Canadian Arthritis Soc- iety plays a key role in en- couraging governments, hos- pitals and the health pro- fessions to play their part in the control of arthritis. Arth- ritis control is the Society's immediate goal. No inquest in Zurich deaths The Gr. 10 Media Class were able to study journalism first hand last week when their tea- cher, Mr. Burgess, took' them on a visit to the London Free Press building. One of the stu- dents who went on this trip, Joe Bicknell, described their ex- periences for us. "When we first entered the London Free Press building, we were divided into 3 groups. The first section we entered was the Editorial Section. Mr. T. W. Honey is the Editor. The London Free Press puts Ih • 414 - No inquest will be held into what police are terming a "murder - suicide" that occurr- ed near Zurich, Wednesday. Dr. Charles Wallace, of Zur- ich, said, "Nothing is to be served (by an inquest) because we know what happened. There is ne point in going further" into the deaths of Edward Nor- man MacDonald, 34 and his wife Edna, 32. , Police say Mr. MacDonald shot his wife twice in the head . and chest as their 13-year-old daughter watched. The girl was then ordered upstairs by her father. - "d - After hearing a shot,- the girl ran downstairs and found her father dead on the floor. Mrs. MacDonald was taken to South Huron Hospital in Ex- eter and then transferred to St. Joseph's Hospital, London, where she died about three hours after the 'shooting. Police investigating the case say they still have established no motive for the killings. B,us~sstball An Expositor Classified will pay you dividends. Have you tried one? Dial 52'7-0240.
