A 30-month study of blood de' or showed that smokers have excess amounts of carbon monoxide in their blood. The researchers questioned the , practice of transfusing blood from smoking donors to some patients. Tobacco smoking was the single most important factor leading to increased carbon V monoxide levels. Other factors were car exhaust, occupation, 'and geographical 'residence. The study found that carbon monoxide levels correlated directly with the number of cigarettes an individual smoked. A pack-a-day smoker had carbon monoxide levels two to three times bleier than did non- -smokers. Unlike oxygen which is breathed in and out again in minutes, carbon monoxide--in the form of carboxy-hemogkibin -- stays in the blood for hours. Other studies show there are increases in carbon monoxide levels in the blood 01 nonsmokers who are in the same room with smokers. One hundred years have slipped away, Since Seaforth, became a town.

(Staff Photo) JOHN CAIRNS - CHIEF OF POLICE RACCOON , McVA newt This week Rocky Raccoon has some `rinformation on snowshoes which might help you to get more enjoyment from the winter weather. Did you know that snowshoes were used since about 4000 B.C.? Did you know that they assisted many of the ancient peoples during migrations from one part of the earth to another? Did you know that snowshoes have contributed greatly to the history of Canada. The Algonquin. Huron and Ojibway Indians were just some of the tribes that used wood and animal skins to make snowshoes. These shoes which allowed man to walk over the snow without sinking through it, aided the Indians in their winter hunting and trapping of food and fur animals. The military used snowshoes as necessary pieces of equipment in the Canadian winters, and soon after the country became more civilized, snowshoe clubs were formed. Men would seek out trails for recreation and a chance for social interaction during the winter months, Today, a straight-grained white ash frame bound with steer hide webbi,ng forms tile snowshoes used for recreational purposes. If you ,,want to- snowshoe for fun, it's good to obt ain snowshoes: that won't stretch too much when „wet. Snowshoes break easily, so don't try, to jump fences or support yourself across ditches with them. A warm parka coat. 2 pair of socks worn in boots or mucklucks and a touque are suggested for maintaining body heat.. If you plan on a long hike, take extra binding material, goggles, matches, a compass and a knife with you. Snowshoeing can be a great deal of fun and offers a challenge anctchAtice to get out into, and k ksonie— of „the • --na tal enaoninent around us during our Canadian winter months.
