Monitors will help in. Caribbean
by Mike Rubinson
A recent donation of a 16
apnea monitors will help breathe
new life into medical programs
and patients throughout the
Caribbean. •
The transportation of apnea
monitors to Jamaica is the latest
effort by Wingham's Dr. Walter
Wong to bring better medical
equipment to a region where it is
normally not available.
Last week, Dr. Wong personal-
ly delivered the monitors to the
University Hospital in Jamaica.
Wong said a lot of Jamaicans
will live because of this.
'1'hc donation of the monitors
was made possible through
Medigas of Owen Sound. Bert
Reket, registered respiratory
therapist with Medigas,
explained the apnea monitor
picks up and registers a child's
breathing for either home care or
hospital usage.
For Mcdigas, the donation of
the older units provides a means
of eliminating old stock while
ensuring the equipment finds a
needed use.
Reket said his complry now
uses newer • advanced models
which are battery operated and
• allow greater portability with a
constant power source. Faced
with units which were now
redundant for their purposes,
instead of disposing of the units,
the company decided to donate
the 16 unites to a worthy cause
said Reket.
Although outdated, the older
units still have their place, said
Reket. The units assist in
monitoring Sudden Infant Death
(SID) syndrome cases or other
breathing disorders. One of these
units was also donated to the
Wingharn and District Hospital.
Dr. Wong said in many
countries in that region, this
equipment docs not exist.
Once in Jamaica, these apnea
monitors will go to the Univer-
sity Hospital's neo -natal unit.
He said that while SID is not
as common as people may think,
its effects are devastating. He
added there is now an adult
version -- more a problem in
geriatrics.
With the apnea monitors going
to the University College
Hospital. where physicians
across the West Indies are
trained, their use will be exposed
to the entire Caribbean, said Dr.
Wong. Plus, With the.nurribcr of
units donated, there is the pos-
sibility of sending some of those
units to outlying medical
facilities.
Although outmoded by North
American standards, it was made
clear the units would be more
than welcome in Jamaica.
This et fort is only the latest for
Dr. Wong, who said he ,pur-
chases and refurbishes' used
equipment such as beds to send
down where it is needed.
"This area has been very
generous to Jamaica," said Dr.
Wong, During the last hurricane,
a five -ton truck of clothing and
food was sent from the area.
Dr. Wong said he is always on
the lookout for doctors willing to
spend time in that country and
willing to sow the seeds of im-
portant knowledge.
"I don't think Canadians
realize how lucky they are." Dr.
Wong called the social contract
a big shakeup to the health care
system. "I genuinely feel we
can't afford to waste a single
crumb because there is not a
larger loaf."

Many patrons responded to the
challenge of donating canned goods
when returning overdue books
during Library Week. Your
cooperation made for a very suc-
cessful community project.
Eileen Clark and Jan Stilling have
been volunteering a great deal of
time this fall at the Library. In this
period of financial restraint the
efforts of all the "behind the scene"
helpers are truly appreciated.
With the colder weather ap-
proaching, the library staff would
like to remind you of their audio
and video tape selections available
for home. use. A block of video
tapes arrive weekly and can be
borrowed at no charge. Topics
include. Travel, How -To -Instruc-
tions, and Children's Entertainment.
Audio tapes such as Classic
Comedies and Talking Books are
also available through the library as.
a free service.
The library has recently received
several donations of books from
generous individuals. New and
used books are always a welcome
addition to the growing collection
of reading materials. Books can be
dropped off at the library' or arran-
gements can be made for pick up
service.

Were you one of those lucky
people that purchased the replica of
the Lobsinger Threshing Machine
that was sold prior to the successful
International Plowing Match
recently held in Bruce County?
Your investment has already ap-
preciated in value. Some of these
threshers have been resold for more
than $I00 over the initial purchase
price.
Due to the initial success of sel-
ling the Lobsinger Collectible,
another replica "The Waterloo
Steam Engine" was reproduced and
offered for the same price as the

This is the last chance to purchase
this collectible, as there are only 10

few red and grey hats available at
$6.00/per hat. Contact June Barclay
at 934-3700.
The Purple Grove WI met at the
community centre on Wednesday
evening with Janet Nixon as host-
ess.
A good crowd attended and
answered the roll call with various
Canadian places they would like to
visit. -
Teresa Farrell gave a very inter-
esting talk on her life in Germany •
on her three month exchange pro-
gram.
In her pleasant manner she told of
the difference she found between
life in Canada and life in Germany.
Her host family were middle class
but lived in a large house and had
many luxuries.
Teresa was introduced and
thanked by Kay Collins. Deanna
Scott gave the report of the rally in
Paisley.
