Gold kills
There are two things you can -do
about winter: go south or use it
wisely.
While the former may be more
fun, the latter is a lot safer.
A wise winter means knowing 41t-
about
Itabout the cold killer -- hypothermia
-- and how to fight it.
Hypothermia means the lower -
ng of the temperature of internal
body organs, lower blood pressure,
slow and usually irregular pulse,
shivering or muscle rigidity, and
often altered levels of conscious-
ness, The end result is often death.
It can happen when somebody
falls through the ice into winter
water. And it can happen when
anyone is out in the cold too long or
with too little body protection.
But hypothermia is not hopeless.
If you think someone you're with is
suffering from hypothermia, there
are things you can do.
The Canadian Red Cross Society
recommends the following proced-
ures:
*If there's a warm shelter and
blankets, remove the wet clothing.
If not, keep the clothes on. Wet
clothes are better than no clothing.
*Don't overexert the victim while
rescuing. Excessive movement
means heat loss and possibly fatal
further drops in body core temper-
ature.
*Run a hot bath -- hotter than 38
degrees C, but not as hot as 46
degrees C.
*Apply hot wet towels (same
temperature range as the bath)
blankets or other' clothing to the
head, neck, trunk and groin.
*Or apply body warmth by direct
body contact with a member of the
rescue team.
*Watch the respiration closely.
Remove any restrictive clothing
articles.
*If the victim is conscious..' and
breathing . normally, hot liquids
(but not alcohol) would be helpful.
*If the victim is unconscious, watch
for vomiting and remoire all excre-
tions.
*Treat for shock.
LOOKING BACK
THROUGH THE SENTINEL
75 YEARS AGO
There is a story going the rounds to..
the effect that in a certain northern
town, the G.T.R. train was, to the
surprise of everyone, on time. The
passengers and citizens 'were so grati-
fied and astonished that they got up a
subscription and made a present to each
of the train employees. Not til the deed
was done did they find out that it was
the train that should have arrived the
day before.
In our last issue, it was stated that
Thomas F. Cain, proprietor of the Cain
House, had sold out to Mr. Fogarty of
Lucan. The hotel is still conducted by
Mr. Cain as we understand that Mr.
Fogarty was unable to arrange matters
satisfactorily and the deal is off.
A certain weekly wakes up its delin-
quent subscribers in this lively fashion:
"It is said that a man who squeezes a
dollar, never squeezes his wife: A
glance at our subscription list leads us
to believe that many women in this
section are not having their ribs
cracked. Come in and -settle and show
that all's right at home." A glance at
our subscription list will show, that
there are more women around this town
who have not been squeezed in the last
two or three years, than any other part
of the county.
Messers. Neil McKenzie and John
Henderson have rented the skating rink
and have been busy making ice the last
few days. The boys have had their first
hockey practice and the Lucknow Brass
Band will be in attendance on Tuesday
and Thursday evenings for skating.

The operetta, "Jan of Windmill
Land", presented by the 1st Lucknow
Co. Canadian Girl Guides in the
Carnegie Hall last Friday evening was a
-huge success in every way. The cast
included the entire company of 34
Guides with Lieut. Douglas in the role of
Mynheu .Van Oost. The parts were well
taken and each guide did her best to
portray the curious customs and beliefs
of Holland. The songs were catchy and,
with the colourful Dutch costumes,
made very pleasing numbers. The fairy
dance was light and daintily and was
deservedly encored. The Gollowogs -
five strange little black men - were the
hit of the evening and caused the house
to rock with laughter.
The township of Ashfield, having
adopted the plan. of .holding its annual

December 3. Candidates in the field are
for reeve: John A. MacKenzie and
Thomas Sullivan; deputy reeve: Thomas
Anderson and Samuel Sherwood; the
three necessary councillors are in by
acclamation, James R. Ritchie, Wm. J.
Black and Samuel Swan.
The Lucknow Choral Society met with
great success in rendering its "Irish
Concert" program at Teeswater on
Tuesday evening of last week. The
chorus was trained by Mrs. J. Wesley
Joynt and Mrs. Newton. the program
was a varied one of choruses, quartets,
duets, solos, dances, recitations, etc.

Gaunt reports from Queen's Park
• BY MURRAY GAUNT
The Minister of the Environment, The
Honourable Harry Parrott; this week
presented a progress report to the Legis-
lature on the plan for liquid industrial
waste disposal, covering six areas of
concern.
He announced that a new system for
classification of wastes, whieh identifies
various classes of substances and the
requirements for treatment or disposal for
each classification, has been completed,
providing definite guidance to the genera-
Skiing
tors and handlers of industrial waste.
The way -bill system is to be improved,
so that each load of waste will be traced
from the producer to final disposal. This
system is designed to provide a check oil
any specific load of waste, as well as to give
an overview of the total industrial waste
production in the Province and a break-
down of the various glasses and quantities
produced.
Penalties will be imposed on violators for
failure to comply or for illegal dumping.
Guidelines are being drawn up for the
storage, treatment and disposal of hauled
Sometimes there's a lot of miles between you
and the slopes. Should a storm blow up or a radiator
freeze before you get there, the Canadian Red Cross
Society urges you to pull over, sit tight and bundle up.
Carry a warm sleeping bag and a candle in the trunk
for such emergencies because the winter cold can kill.
It's your winter, use it wisely.

liquid industrial wastes.
Effective January 1st, 1980, the disposal
of untreated liquid wastes in landfill sites
other than secure chemical sites specific-
ally engineered for that purpose will be
banned.
The Ministry will undertake to lease or
purchase sites for waste treatment and
disposal cenfres, in order to maintain full
control of the way they are operated under
contract with private operators.
Discussions have taken place with the
Federal Environment Minister regarding
the flow of industrial waste across the
•
Canada -U.S. border. Presently, Canadian
industry is dependent upon facilities in the
United States for the disposal of certain
industrial wastes, including PCB's. The
Canadian Government has reached agree-
ment with U.S. authorities that the border
remain open to the flow of industrial
wastes. However, this is only a stop -gap
measure, and further discussions will be
held to seek more permanent solutions to
this problem.
Culture and Recreation Minister Reuben
Baetz has indicated that all new applica-
tions for Wintario money will be frozen
until some sort of priority is established
with respect to approvals, because so many
groups are applying for assistance. Appli-
cations have been made at twice the rate
revenue is flowing into the 4' year old
lottery for grants to match money raised
privately. To date, 19,800 projects have
been approved.
Alberta is providing tax breaks to oil
companies to entice them to move to that
province. As a result, the Provincial
Treasurer told the Legislature this week
that Alberta's action has made it more
profitable for oil companies to move their
operations from Ontario. Estimates of
revenue lost in corporation taxes because
of the move range from $25 to $50 million.
Provincial -Treasurer Frank Miller said in
the Legislature this week that all govern -
