trucks for their call to duty. As well as being on display Friday, judges for the communities in
bloom competition where chauffeured around the village and to outlying areas to view the

Seniors
enjoy
potluck
About 19 Seniors gathered at the
Lions Park for their annual picnic
on Wednesday, July 21.
At noon they sat down to a
potluck picnic luncheon.
Following this, President
Lawrence Plaetzer called a short
meeting to order. He thanked all for
attending.
There were no birthdays or
anniversaries in July. Feme Howatt
and Enid MacDonald have
birthdays in August.
The usual reports were given. A
nominating committee was formed
to bring in the new officers for the
meeting, Sept. 29.
Lawrence read a few good jokes
and then called on the program
committee. Isabelle Craig, Janet
Lawrie, Jean Nethery, Mary
Walden and Jean and Lawrence
Plaetzer conducted some great
games and contests. All enjoyed
this very much. Several people
received prizes as well.
It was a beautiful day and all had
a good time.
Obesity and related factors in
breast cancer
Studies have shown that obesity in
breast cancer patients is associated
with poor survival. Dr. Pamela
Goodwin is attempting to confirm
this theory via a clinical study.
More than 500 women with newly
diagnosed breast cancer have been
enrolled in this study and
information gathered about their
weight, body metabolism and
lifestyle factors as well as their
cancers and treatments. The women
in the study are being tracked to see
which experience a cancer
recurrence. If the results show that
obesity increases the risk of breast
cancer recurrence and death,
further studies may be done to
determine whether weight loss can
lower the risk.

Specialized packages & gift certificates
The timing of amalgamation sub
missions was on the table at the
July 20 session of Blyth council.
With a county deadline of Sept. 1
for submitting plans, Blyth Clerk-
Treasurer John Stewart informed
council that, in his understanding,
the plans would be dealt with as
they arrived.
If, for example, some other group
submitted a plan with Howick
Twp. included and it was approved,
a North Huron plan involving
Howick could not pass. Any further
restructuring would then have to
wait two years.
Council agreed that a great deal
of work needed to be undertaken to
try to meet the Sept. 1 deadline.
***
In a review of their insurance

***

payment.
***
There were no objections to the
Huron Pioneer Thresher reunion or
the Blyth Lions club slo-pitch tour
nament being designated a commu
nity festival.
We believe...
in helping.
Anyone. Anywhere.
