I don't.know 'whether it is the aftermath of the flu or just a bad ease Of the blues, but whatever it is, I feel as though I'd appreciate it if someone would shoot Me cleanly through the head. I guess I'm depressed because I've been let down. For the last Week, I was editor of a srnall town weekly paper. It was a glorious sensation of power, but short-lived. The real editor is up from his sick bed and hopes, to be back at his desk in time for next week's issue, To be truthful, I shouldn't really Mind at all, I worked like a slave this week doing a whole host of things I had no idea I could manage without someone's help. It was exhilerating to say the least, but I'm worn out now and all I want is some peace. Do you know, that the only way to get away, really away, from your problems is to go to sleep? That's right. If you are awake you are sensitive to everything that goes on around you and that can be darned depressing. I was cheered for a while today by the prime minister's love affair with Miss Barbara Streisand. I think our prime minister has exquisite taste in women and if he can lure Miss Streisand into the House of Commons visitors' gallery, I think it is a tribute to the charm NOW FOR YOUR ENJOYMENT The CLOUD "NINE" Room At HOTEL CLINTON Featuring • SING ALONG WITH JEAN At The Organ FRIDAY And SATURDAY, of our prime: inister,. It really doesn't matter to me with whom the :prince minister spends his free. time, He is a bachelor with, I suspect, all the natural desires of a ,bachelor. If he chooses to flirt rather than enter a more permanent. relationship, -that's his business,. Then AS I flipped the page of the newspaper, I noted an article about the schools in New Ynrk where they .are giving a course on how to become a Mid-wife. It seems that there .are so many young pregnant students in the later stages of that rather unfortunate condition„ that it has been deemed wise to teach what to do in ease some teenage, mother-to-be would go into labor while attending classes. Right away I was depressed again. Sure, I believe that those girls have a right to complete their education, pregnancy or no pregnancy, but surely there is something wrong with our moral code when there are so many pregnant students that everyone needs a crash course in midwifery for whatever they call it) just as an extra safety measure in the modern classroom. In fact, I was so depressed by the newspaper that I got out of the house for a While. I went to a lecture and chanced to meet a young Mother there who had her baby with her, I told the young mother what a lovely child she had. "He's pretty nice now," was her reply, don't know how long he'll stay that way what with drugs and She had a whole list of terrible temptations that would, she feared, rise up and swallow her precious little boy when he was older. I was depressed again, What kind of a world is it that frightens young mothers that badly, I asked myself. When we get to the point that we fear to bring children into the world because of the hideous ordeals they must face, what is left? Then I recalled a statement of faith a lady repeated to me just the other day. She said the old gentleman who spoke the words was referring to the weather but it has meaning in almost any situation. "The same man that fetched it will send it away again." So,'presently I am cheered by a bit of philosophy, Tomorrow? Who knows? I may be in the doldrums again over some stupid little thing that really shouldn't bother me at all. Boy, the flu bug is certainly weakening, isn't it?

Miss Lois Jackson, who underwent surgery in Victoria Hospital, London, in October, returned to her home Saturday. Mrs. Robert Gibson * of Wroxeter and Win. Wilson, London, visited Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Mellis. Several cases of the flu are • reported in the area. Cemetery Board meets Baird's Cemetery Board held its Annual Meeting on Wednesday, January 27, in Oddfellow's Hall, Brucefield. The following board members were, returned to office for- 1970: chairman, Watson Webster; members, Ross Scott, John Broadfoot, Wm. McAsh, Gordon Richardson, Wilfred Chu ter, Mac Wilson, Adam Wilson; secretary-treasurer, Mrs. R. Taylor. Caretakers Adam Wilson and Arie Verhoef were rehired for this year. With diseases of the heart and blood vessels producing more 'than half of.all deaths in Canada, it is obvious that an immense challenge faces'rnedical scientists seeking to decide exactly what la, responsible for "hardening of the arteries" (atherosclerosis) and high blood pressure, the two leading causes of, heart attack and stroke. Until these mechanisms are fully understood, paving the way for prevention or even cures, is there anything that can be done to reduce the toll of more than 75,000 lives yearly? The answer is yes. In this series of five articles, we will examine some of the presently-available methods of treatment and prevention:— advances that are saving hearts and lives as of this very moment.: Virtually all of them were speeded by the Heart Fund, the first national campaign of which was conducted just 12 years ago. Let's begin with coronary artery disease, which includes heart attack and which kills about 48,000 people yearly in this country. In this category, a heart-saving development of profound importance has been the coronary care unit, now functioning in many Canadian hospitals but still lacking in a great number. For those who survive heart attack long enough to make it to a hospital, coronary care sevide can mean the difference between life arid death. In hospital deaths following heart attacks can be reduced by about 30 per cent, if patients get high-quality coronary care service rather than routine hospitalizatiri. Sonie authorities believe that coronary care units have an ultimate potential of saving up to 5,000 lives yearly in this country. In these special units, the hear's electrical activity is watched continuously, with an alarm system 'bringing trained personnel within seconds if there is any change in heart rhythm or rate above or below a preset range. Some units also monitor temperature, respiration and blood pressure. Additionally, there may be an "instant replay" system to permit quick review of changes which have occurred during the several moments which precede a crisis. Such crises usually occur within 72 hours of the heart attack and most often involve an irregularly beating heart, shock or heart failure. Once the alarm is given, 'Corrective measures can be applied. These include intravenous medications, electrical methods of re-starting o,r re-pacing the heart, m o uth-t o • mouth breathing, chest compression and others. Quite often fibrillating hearts—those beating with total irregularity--can ultimately be restored to normal function. Heart oUndations throughout the country believe in coronary care training programs for physicians and nurses and the carrying forward of intensive educational programs underscoring the essential value of this service. Yet another under-utilized technique—designed to meet emergency situations on the street, or in the home, office or factory—is external compression of the sternum combined with mouth-to-mouth air breathing following "cardiac arrest"—a term used to describe sudden cessation of heart function. The idea is to keep oxygen-rich blood flowing into the brain until appropriate medical treatment can be applied to restore normal heart function.' To meet this need, Heart Foundations throughout the country are supplying educational aids which should enable physicians and nurses, and police, firemen, utility workers and ambulance attendants as well, to apply emergency measures when signs of sudden death are evident. A significant number of cardiac arrest victims can be saved if resuscitation manoeuvres are started promptly—usually no MRS. BERT ALLEN The Cheerio Club met on Wednesday at the home of Mrs. Gordon Robinson. The president Mrs. Howalt opened the meeting with a reading, a hymn was sung followed by prayer. Roll call was answered by items from current events. Spicey readings were given by various members and a mouth organ selection by Mrs. Mabel Scott was enjoyed. A few games of cards rounded out the afternoon. A delicious smorgasbord supper was served by the hostesses. We are sorry to report that Mr. Ed Youngblut was taken to Clinton Public Hospital by ambulance having suffered a BY FRED McCLYMONT The Explorer group met at 'the church on Tuesday evening of last with the president, Miss Cathy Taylor in charge. Miss Patsy Taylor read the scripture lesson, Miss Ann-Marie Heard gave the prayer and Miss Nancy Fawcett read the minutes. The roll call was answered by eight members. During the business period a discussion was held in regard to the raising of funds. Mrs. Robert Taylor read from the study book and Mrs. Barry Taylor conducted the crafts. After recreation the president, Miss Cathy Taylor closed the meeting. A Pancake Supper is' being held on Tuesday evening Feb. 9 at the United Church, later than four minutes after the arrest occurs. Ground is just being broken in another promising area—the mobile coronary care unit. Here, ambulances or helicopters are equipped with monitoring devic6, and manned by persons prepared to restart or to pace a heart attack and the patient's admittance to a coronary care unit of a hospital. If optimal performance and equipment were available in these two additional areas—on-the.spot resuscitation and mobile coronary car units—the additional saving might run into the hundreds and perhaps even into the thousands. As matters now stand, should you suffer a heart attack and go into cardiac arrest, you will be fortunate to have at your side a trained person capable of recognizing certain symptoms and applying emergency measures. And your chances will be much improved if you obtain high quality coronary care service.
