Health Tips from C.M.A. Many strokes can be prevent- ed, or reduced in number, when people who experience appar- ently trivial symptoms visit their doctor when they occur. Strokes are often caused by one of three main varieties of disease process. The most com- mon is thrombosis — the plug- ging of the arteries of the brain leading to the death of brain tissue beyond the point of oc- clusion. Patients who have thrombosis causing their strokes often have short episodes of weakness, dizziness, or diffi- culty in seeing, or numbness and tingling in the arms or hands. Relief from these tran- sient symptoms can sometimes be brought about by the use of blood-thinning agents known as anti-coagulants. However, these medications must only be used after proper diagnosis with extreme care and by physicians familiar with their use. Cerebral haemorrhage (bleeding into or around the brain) is the second most com- mon cause of stroke. There are two varieties -- one related to high blood pressure, and the rupture of a berry-like swelling where the arteries divide. Cer- ebral haemorrhage often can be prevented by control of high blood pressure before it be- comes severe. Another common cause is the release of embolus or small particles into the circulation, which in turn plugs a brain ar- tery and leads to paralysis. Em- bolic strokes usually follow changes in the heart valves brought about by rheumatic heart disease. These can some- times be reduced in frequency by the use of blood-thinning agents, which are frequently used by doctors caring for pa- tients who have rheumatic heart disease. While strokes vary greatly in seriousness, much can be done to rehabilitate people who have been disabled by them. If any of your house plants are in plastic pots, remember that the soil in this type ofcon- tather does not dry out as quick- ly as in the standard clay pot. The key is to water only when the soil is just dry to the touch.

CANDLES Candles, especially in fall nd winter, were made by the core. Every pound of tallow endered at our place was saved for making candles. Our candle mold made six at a time -- six tapering tubes of in all soldered together and a one shaped point on each tube n which there was a hole to re- eive the end of the wick. The ick cord was fixed so it ran into the middle of the tube, the melted tallow poured in, and in an hour of cooling six candles were made. Candles were placed every- where light was needed and a candle snuffer was always on hand to snuff the candles as they burned, snuffing them every 20 minutes or so. The snuffer was a box, like scissors, that opened and a flap of the box cut off the burned part of the wick and pushed it into the box as it did so; but mother usually snuffed a candle with her fingers and could do it quite deftly. NO WAGON For many years father did not have any wagon. He had a Achievement Day for the 4- H homemaking project, " Ac- cent on Accessories" was held in the high school here on Sat- urday with 15 clubs exhibiting their work and record books. Each girl made a hat and scarf and senior members made a bag as well. The work was excellent and a fashion show to conclude the afternoon program revealed that colors, materials and the wide choice of imagin- ative trims used by the girls made each hat look different, even though they were all made from one of two basic patterns. The morning was spent in judging, planning accessories for an illustrated costume, a quiz and discussion. Many mothers and friends were present for the afternoon program. Skits, demonstra- tions and exhibits showed the error of being over-dressed and the need for choosing accessor- ies that go well with the cos- tume and suit the person wear- ing them. The well-planned co-ordin- ated wardrobe was stressed, us- ing basic costumes that could be used for various occasionsby changing the accessories. Prop- er care and storage of gloves, shoes, hats, scarves and bags were also demonstrated. sleigh about ten feet long-- no iron shoes on it, just a home- made one of small birch trees that grew near the creek and whose trunks would have a sleigh runner bend in them. These trees were felled at the very roots and hewed flat, and they constituted the runners of the all-round vehicles on the farm, both in summer and win- ter, drawing in hay and grain on it. Father took two bags of wheat to Bluevale, the nearest grist mill at the time. In fact, it had just been built. He left with the oxen hitched to the sleigh and on the sleigh was an axe, a handspike, an auger and some eats for man and beast. Why axe, auger, etc.? No road was fit to travel, just a bush trail with small stumps and snags everywhere. A manmust be prepared to mend things if break-downs occurred. When he got to the mill he could not get his grist ground that day as there were too many ahead of him, Father and ox- en ate lunch and returned home The bush trail was awful so next day he decided to try another way to get his grist home. He went to Bluevale on foot. There A skit was given by mem- bers of Belgrave 1 club and a demonstration by Nancy Craig, Valerie Bailey and Linda Cald- well of Blyth 1 on "Details Are Important". Ruth Mathers was commen- tator for Bluevale 1, and Nan- cy Kirkland for the Zion exhi- bit on " Accessories for a Basic Costume". St. Helens 2 had an exhibit on the same topic. " Accessories for Various Oc- casions" were demonstrated by Mary Grasby, Lois Eckenswil- ler, Margaret Robertson and Doris Coultes of Belgrave 2 and Beth Smith, Anne Harrison, Marie Baillie and Ruth Mc- Naught of Moncrieff. Beverly McDonald was com- mentator for the Blyth 2 ex- hibit, Nancy Strickler for Cran- brook, and Donna Hardy, Es- ther Fish, Linda Paul, Rhonda Bell, Linda Hutton and Cathy Miller of Wingham presented a skit on " Accessories Around the Clock". "How to Care for Accessor- ies" was shown by Donna Mun- dell and Jane Campbell of Blue- vale 2 and girls from St. 1-1e1- ens 1. Joyce Triebner commented on the Brussels exhibit, "Ac- cent with Accessories", Mary Anderson for the Paramount ex hibit and all members of Col- he made a raft for the Maitland River runs from Bluevale west to within three-quarters of a mile of our farm. He got his grist on the raft right at the mill and came to shore at the Dutch- man's clearing in late evening. Then he got his oxen and sleigh and took the grist home. Before there was a mill at Bluevale and when we needed flour badly father rose at 3 a.m. one morning and struck off to- ward Goderich, through the woods, got a 50 lb. sack of flour and returned home with it on his back as soon as he got it, arriving home sometime that night after a 60-mile tramp, carrying 50 lbs. of flour for 30 miles of it. THE FLAIL Every settler had a flail and threshed his first grain with it. All flails were alike in princi- pal but differed in their make- up. I can remember passing farms on my way to school and hearing the thud, thud of the flail at each log barn. This would be in winter. I recall trying to use the flail at the age of ten, but al- as, father's flail was far too heavy for me. It may be that some who wanash presented a skit on the same subject. Mrs. Shirley McAllister commented on the skits and demonstrations and Mrs. Donna Mae Holm gave comments on the exhibits. Mrs. Toynbee Lamb, presi- dent of West Huron W.I. pre- sented provincial honor pins and certificates to five girls who had completed twelve homemaking projects. They were Donna Grasby, R. R. 4 Brussels, Gerda Exel of Brussels, Ruth Webster of R. R. 2, Blyth, Lenora Ann Hallahan of Blyth, and Sheila Strickler, R. R. 2 Brussels. Receiving county honor pins and certificates from Miss Lid- diard for completing six pro- jects were Laurel Hemingway and Sharon Fischer of Brussels, Louise McDonald, Brenda Web- ster, Wanda Hunter, Nancy Kirkland and Donna Ritchie of Lucknow, Mrs. Gordon McPherson of St. Helens, Mrs. Alan Mc- Taggart of Cranbrook and Mrs. Peter MacDonald of Coiwanash were each presented with awards for five years of leadership. This was Mrs. McPherson's third such award. Each girl completing "Ac- cent on Accessories" received a silver spoon, read this have never seen a flail, It was simply two pieces of round poles tied together with a thong. The handle would be about five feet long, like a hoe handle. The other part, about three feet long and stouter. The two pieces were tied loosely together by having holes drilled into each and a piece of rawhide to tie them to- gether. The striking piece of wood must swivel round in its leather tie. W.
