T-A photo those under 20 -are supposed to have too harsh a reaction from the scrum. Just so people realize what they maybe up against, this flu is supposed to spread very quick- ly. The last time it struck, in a 10-day period in London, Eng- land, 10,000 people took sick, And that's spreading pretty fast. In a little over a quarter century, Dashwood has become Canada's leading producer of quality wood and vinyl clad wind- ows and doors. Discount Dave's Home Centres is a division of Conklin Lumber Company Limited, a firm that has been serving Canadians for over nine decades. So together, Discount Dave's and Dashwood Industries offer homeowners and contractors alike over a century of service, experience and know-how. Together they offer new options on an old idea: a selection of first quality wood and vinyl clad wood windows and gliding doors that enhance the beauty, value and energy-saving pract- icality of any home. the ood YAH En d faug t n vcsur rneso.'(5-7ahVan g LOTS OF FREE PAV.M1110 AMHERSTBURG EXETER GODERIN GRAND BEND 'HARROW KINCARDINE KINGSVILLE KITCHENER 736-2151 235-1422 '524.8321 238-2374 7M-2,221 396.3403 733-2341 744-6371 • Talking about a swine flu epidemic might sound silly now, but it is better to be prepared than panic, Dr. Wallace brought this idea up at the Zurich council meeting Thursday night, asking council if they had given any thought .as to what they would do if the epidemic does strike., "It will be at least a month before the vaccine is available for innoculation and will probably be longer than that." says Dr. Wallace. Obviously, the local hospital would be quickly filled up and it might be a good idea to look at alternative facilities now, just in case." Hensall Mr. & Mrs. Arie Roobol have been visiting their friends and relatives around the district. On Thursday, they went to Wood- stock and visited with Mr. & Mrs. John Konyendyk and while there unexpectedly met with friends from their own home town in Holland. On Sunday Mr. & Mrs. Arie Roobol and Mr. & Mrs. Don Dodds of Seaforth and family visited the Goderich Huron County Pioneer Museum and drove around Ben Miller and countryside. Later, accompanied by Mr. & Mrs. Sim Roobol, they went to Ridgetown and drove around Rondeau Park and stayed overnight with Mr. Anthony Gelderland. On Saturday they 'Visited with Mr. & Mrs. Case Van Don Ileuvol. Mr. & Mrs. Floyd Payne visited with Mr. & Mrs. Carl Payne and Mrs. Gary Merritt and Gregory on Sunday. Hensa II Livestock Sales Supply consisted mainly heifers and steers, demand was active and .prices were higher. Fat cattle; heifers, $35.00-$40.00 tops to $42.25; steers $37.75- $41.80, top to $42.25. Pigs; weanlings' $34.00-$46.00, chunks $50.00-$55.00. It would be impossible for any local doctor to make house calls to the extent that would be required if the flu did hit in epidemic proportions, Dr. Wallace shggested writing to the Emergency Ambulance service to see if one of their mobile hospitals could possibly be available in case of such an emergency but did not express much hope Zurich would be able to get one, Reeve Fred Haberer suggested the Health Unit should be con- tacted to see what help they would be willing td give. How- ever, Dr, Wallace felt if some- thing did happen the Health Unit would- likely be inundated with requests and, would prob- ably only be able to handle about 25% of them. "No, we'll likely have to 104 after ourselves in the case of any emergency situation," said Dr. Wallace. Councillor George Haggitt sug- gested "volunteer beds" could be asked for and the arena could be the first used for beds once the hospital was filled. Reeve Haberer added the bedding could perhaps be obtained in the same manner. If there was overflow from the arena, the school audi- toriums would be the next best place to fill. Dr. Wallace said he saw no reason to panic as there would be some warning if an epidemic was on its way unless the flu begins in Zurich which is highly unlikely. However, he felt it would be a good idea to be aware of what might happen so there would be no panic if the situation did occur. ' Council asked Dr. Wallace why those between 50 and 65 years of age and those under 20 were not to be innoculated. Dr. Wallace seemed rather skeptical about the official reasons given for these exceptions. Those between 50 and 65 years of age are supposed to be immune, (however, if you count back to 1918, the last time this flu struck, you will soon realize that was more than 50 years ago so it would seem highly unlikely they could be immune through that) while Discount Dave's and Dashwood Industries Together over a century of Service Dashwood's famous Millenium wood windows are sealed totallyand permanently in a solid, rigid sheath of white, ageless vinyl.
