John Marshall, Public Information offi­ cer for the Ontario Provincial Police in Huron County. Sun, snow, fog, freezing rain, slush, rain, blowing snow, no matter what time of day, a driver should always take the elements into consideration, drive according­ ly by watching his speed and increase the stopping distance to prevent accidents, Const. Marshall says. “Speed too fast” is the major contributor of Motor Vehicle Acci­ dents in winter. A speed limit of 80 km/h is for a roadway with normal weather and road conditions. Snow, ice and slush change these conditions, therefore your driving habits must change accordingly. Keeping your headlights on dur­ ing the day will not help you see, but it will help you to be seen especially in whiteouts and fog. Also, headlights must be on one half hour before sunset to one half hour after sunrise. When the weather conditions deteriorate and roads are closed, this information will be passed on to CKNX 920 for the north half of the County, and CFPL 980 for the south half. For road report informa­ tion call 1-800-265-5407. Shuffleboard The first night of shuffleboard for this season was held on Wednesday evening, Nov. 15 at 8 p.m. at Hullett Central School. Sixteen people were present. High man was Jack Lee. High lady was Elizabeth Lawson. People June Fothergill attended a birth­ day party on Sunday for her sister Miss Helen Marks at the home of another sister Carol and Bill Gil­ more of Gowanstown. from Campaign message clears myths about epilepsg November 1989 marks Epilepsy Canada’s sixth National Epilepsy Month. This year the campaign theme is, “Epilepsy, it’s not what you think”, and as the message sug­ gests, epilepsy is not what most people think. In fact, more than 80 per cent of the 400,000 Canadians with epilepsy lead normal lives in the mainstream of society, often working at high executive and administrative levels. Yet, despite this, these people often suffer from prejudice and social discrimination from their peers and their friends. As part of the campaign in this area, a fun and awareness event, is planned for November 22 at 7:30 p.m. at the Goderich Township Community Centre. This event will feature a Fun and Fashion Show, with the No Notes Jug Band and a Guy’s Fun Fashion Show. Dr. John Girvin, neuro surgeon, and Dr. Warren Blume will be available for questions. Tickets for this show are available at the Clinton office, at 482-5527. Also in the immediate area, an Epilepsy Information Day and Open House will be held at the Huron-Perth-Bruce Chapter office on 52 Huron Street, Clinton. It will run from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on November 28. Everyone is welcome to attend. The 1990 chairman for the Huron-Perth-Bruce Chapter is Dr. David Parratt of Stratford. William Vodden is the treasurer, and Bette Dalzell is the secretary. Home Support Services are offer­ ed for the Clinton and Seaforth area for people with epilepsy. If anyone is interested in more information about the services available, they can contact the Clinton office.
