The decision facing the arena board is whether to recommend building a new arena or fixing up the old one. All over the world the eyes have it, More attention is focussed on eye health today than at any time in history. The up- swing is taking place not only in North America but in some 45 countries around the globe. "The thrust came from two world-wide organizations who named 1976-77 Prevention of Blindness Year," said Ross C, Purse, Managing Director, The Canadian National Institute for the Blind. He referred to the International Agency for Prevention of Blindness and the World Health Organization who began the year with World Health Day, April 7, 1976.

JACK'S L 107 Queen St., Hensall Small Engine Repair Service Stop by and see the wide range of standby generators available, 262-2103 1 The perils of Pauline ° During Friday night's snow storm some excitement was caused by Mrs. B. Harris of Staf- fa. Mrs. Harris had to get from Chiselhurst to South Huron Hospital as she was expecting a ba It by. took her five hours to get from Chiselhurst to Hensall (5 miles)where her sister Mrs. K. Jorgenson lived. After resting there for some time labour pains camefast amid furious. After numerous phone calls to find out about road con- ditions from Hensall to Exeter, Mr, Harris took his wife to Dr. Goddard in Hensall, feeling they would never make it to the hospital in time. Dr. Goddard immediately summoned the OPP and asked them to block off traffic going out of Exeter as he felt there wasn't time to get a plow in ahead of the ambulance. Then he had the ambulance pick up Mrs. Harris at her home. He accom- panied her in the ambulance to Exeter. They arrived at 11:45 p.m. Jan. 28 and a daughter was born to' Pauline Harris at 12:04 a.m. baby weighed 8 lb. 9 oz. Mother and baby are fine but father is a nervous wreck, as are her sisters and neighbours Norm and Dolly Mattson. They assisted in getting her to the hospital in time. Pauline would like to thank Dr. Goddard, the nurses and all others involved for the manner in which they responded to the emergency. Many Canadian health organizations followed their lead. Fourteen government and private bodies formed the Canadian Coordinating Com- mittee for Blindness Prevention. Their first project was a Canada- wide alert reminding medical personnel to inoculate children against German Measles (Rubella). "When pregnant mothers contract this disease, babies often are born blind,1deaf and retarded," Mr. Purse /said. Concerned with eye accidents in sports, the Canadian Ophthalmological Society con- tinued their survey on eye ac- cidents in h ockey. They found 253 injuries had occurred and are now recommending the use of a face mask to protect against flying pucks. Not long ago CNIB hosted an international meeting, bringing together for the first time experts from a new region of the World Council for the Welfare of the Blind. They studied 15 resolutions on different phases of service to strengthen programs around the world. In an interview for White Cane Week, February 6-12, jointly sponosred by CNIB and The Canadian Council of the Blind, Mr. Purse said, "High standards in eye health begin with every Canadian". He suggested three rules for eye safety in Canada, Buckle up your seat belts. Head damage often injures eyes. Watch for overhead branches when driving the snowmobile. Make sure your glasses are safety lenses. Eyesight is too precious to take chances, These tips put into practice the White Cane Week reminder for 1977 — See Tomorrow — Guard Your Eyesight Today. The regular meeting of the recreation committee was held on Wednesday evening but was adjourned early because of deteriorating weather con- ditions. However a skating party is planned for February 12 at Varna arena with refreshments available at the Orange Hall, Further details next week. The Spring Dance will be held on March 12 at Hully Gully.

The sun tries to shine through the blizzard almost every day but that doesn't seem to curb the winds and drifting snow. All we can do is hope that there will be no severe emergen- cies such as illness and fire. So far we have been able to keep enough fuel and food on hand. Several of the staff have been working double shifts to cover for those who are unable to get in, and many of us have had to spend our nights here because we didn't have any other alter- natives. Despite the weather, we had our Monday evening movies after which refreshments were enjoyed. We are pleased that Mr. Passmore has recovered suf- ficiently to be back from the hospital. All interested readers please note that the movie "The Other Side of the Mountain", scheduled to be shown at the Maplewoods Apartments on Thursday, February 3rd, has been cancelled for that date and has been re- scheduled for Thursday, April 7th, for the afternoon and even- ing. By that time, we are hoping for shirt-sleeve weather so that all will have the opportunity to get out to see it. Bingo was played on Friday evening, followed by refreshments. We regret that Mr. Thos. Westlake is a patient in St. Joseph's Hospital, London. Like the majority of churches, our chapel service was cancelled on Sunday evening, Notice To Taxpayers of Village of Hensall The provisions of the Income Tax Act allow any per- son who paid Property Taxes or rent in 1976 to claim same on the Ontario Property Tax Credit.
