Phone 887-6677 Concerns in the 90’s topic of WI meeting Nine members of the Walton Women’s Institute returned to the W.I. Hall the foggy Wednesday evening for their January meeting. A noon beef luncheon had been served to 88 people. It turned out quite a success even the weather, visibility was not the best. Marion Godkin conducted the business. After the usual opening she thanked everyone for helping that day and at the Monday dinner at the hall. Marjory Humphries gave the treasurer’s report follow­ ing the minutes of the last meeting. Roll call was answered by “A new product you like to use”. There was a discussion on the Blyth Festival suppers. It was voted not to do any this year as we have our noon luncheons. It was voted to donate $20 to the Brussels Fair Board to go toward an overall prize. The birth­ day party in February for Calendar Nursing Home in Brussels was discussed with a committee to look after program with a couple of members offering to make cup­ cakes. Helen Craig, convenor for Con­ sumer Affairs, spoke on Concerns in the 90’s. Ideas were given for Education the Basic, back to Exams, Literacy, Water, Sprays, Via-Rail and a little more on recycling. Helen read interesting articles from a recent paper on more of the things to expect in the 90’s Walton Institute hope to have more membership in the 90’s. Institute Grace was sung, then Leona McDonald and Elva Bolger served lunch. Goderich Town Council weighed the pros and cons of saving the CPR bridge, after hearing opinions from both perspectives. Correspondence was read from Richard Peever, president of Mait­ land Valley Marina and Trailer Park Limited who is strongly opposed to saving the bridge. His feelings were thai the same group that wants to save the bridge would oppose the construction of the bridge today; construction would be necessary for the bridge to be safe for pedestrians which he states would detract from its auth­ enticity; children would be tempted to play on the bridge - a youth broke his back on the adjacent bridge within the last two years; and removing the bridge would open up scenery to the park on Waterloo St. He stated that as a railway bridge there was “good economic sense” for it to remain but now that it was no longer being used by CPR that is not the case. He suggested that the long term maintenance and insurance costs would far outweigh the initial purchase price. Council then heard a letter from Dorothy Wallace outlining how Durham saved their bridge con­ verting it into a walkway. In her letter she said that wrecking had begun when concern­ ed citizens went to Toronto acquir­ ing a stop order permit from CP officials. The top of the bridge was off and sat unfinished for three years until enough money was raised to restore it. Durham Council approved the project on the condition that there would be no financial commitment from the municipality. They did however, permit an ad hoc commit­ tee of council to be established who would issue tax deductible receipts to donors. This committee raised $35,000. Wallace says there was little insurance increase. At its session of January 4, based on a recommendation from the planning department, Council pas­ sed a resolution saying that the county request the CPR delay demolition of the linking bridges on the Guelph to Goderich line until necessary studies for future owner­ ship and uses of the abandoned line. « i Rally rescheduled 1 L 1 The B & W Trailblazers Snow­ mobile Rally had to be cancelled this past Sunday due to the mild weather of last week, taking a lot of the snow away from their well groomed trails. It has been re­ scheduled to Sunday, February 11 at the same time as advertised. The Walton Area Sports Snow­ mobile Rally has been planned by the committee for February 4. A 0 Stopping before starting keg to smoking problem We all know how hard smoking is to quit. This is why an important key to solving the smoking problem is cutting it off at the beginning, before young people start. Virtually all smokers start smok­ ing before age 20. By age 12, 50% of Canadian children have tried smoking and the majority become regular smokers before age 17. The younger a person starts to smoke, the more likely that person will remain a smoker, smoke more heavily, suffer from a tobacco- caused disease and die prema­ turely. Unfortunately, despite more than 25 years of official statements that smoking kills, cigarettes are still popular among youth. rt, Why are health messages not getting through to some young people? For one thing, teenagers generally feel so healthy that illness is far from their minds. Illness or death in middle age is not something that could happen to them. But tobacco is a real drug problem. At current death rates, for every 100,000 smokers now age 15, the following deaths will occur before they reach age 70: car accidents - 1200, suicide - 900, murder - 130, AIDS - 70, drug abuse - 10. However, diseases caused by tobacco will kill about 30,000 of these children before they reach age 70 - about 13 times the total number of deaths from other causes combined. Teenagers also want to fit in, to be accepted. For some of them, smoking makes them feel more like part of the group. This is a strong pressure. If a youth’s group of friends smoke, then he/she will also be likely to smoke. In addition, many young people start to this addictive behaviour thinking they will be able to quit when they get older. In fact, many become thoroughly hooked while still teenagers. Because of a youthful mistake, many smoke all their lives. These lives are all too often cut short by heart attack, cancer or other smoking-related diseases. This year Children and Tobacco is the theme of National Non-Smok­ ing Week. From January 22 to January 28, activities are being launched across Canada to encour­ age children to stay smokefree. This is an important message. We know that if smoking can be prevented in childhood and adole­ scence, then for the vast majority, it will be prevented altogether. Let’s promote staying smoke-free as a positive lifestyle for children. wk ~ J SMOKED PICNICS ^SWIFTS, STOCKINETTE PROD OF US A CAN EXTRA FANCY WASHINCTON RED OR COLDEN DELICIOUS APPLES TANGY LEMONS 57. 99 FRESH RAPPINI .99 FRESH!
