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.
