Some of the services are Meals on Wheels, a frozen meal for the home program, trans- portation for those in need, a security check and friendly visitor service and a life-line system for those who wish to have a con- tact for help at hand. These services are avail- able by contacting Town and Country Services, where a service co-ordina- tor will provide informa- tion and arrange services based on your needs.

Crediton Women's Institute has a beau- tiful double sized patchwork quilt for sale. Contact Anne Cottle 234-6355 if you wish to purchase this quilt. A favourable financial report was given by Mona Alderdice. The roll call was, ‘Personally, how do you predict a change in the weather?’ Provincial Advisory Committee repre- sentative member Vivian McDonald advised the group to be wary of tele- phone scams. Always check the tele- phone area exchange you are calling. She said the Telehealth system is working efficiently. A healthful hint is to always wash the tops of canned goods and boxes as several types of bacteria could be on the tops. The Women's Institutes are collecting war stories so history books can be com- piled. In closing, McDonald reminded the group that poverty is everyone's business.

Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT or shock therapy) has the highest rate of response of any form of antidepressant treatment. Although its treatment by Hollywood can be rather distorted, ECT does help a select group of severely depressed patients. It was first used back in 1938 and is still used today. If you are travelling to a country where the water is suspect, follow this rule: “Boil it, cook it, peel it or forget it”. When brushing your teeth, use bottled water. Wash your hands frequently while travelling. (You can buy small bottles of alcohol for cleansing). Don’t take in any swimming pool or ocean water while swimming and drink only bottled beverages in their original container. Pepto-Bismol Tablets (2 tabs 4xdaily) can be taken for prevention of diarrhea. For treatment of diarrhea, the dose changes to two tablets every 30 minutes for 8 doses. Be aware, however, that this project contains salicylates so if you are allergic to ASA, avoid it. It also causes black tongue and black stools. If you are giving liquid medication to children, you can be most accurate if you use an oral syringe. These are usually marked in teaspoons and millilitres for accurate measuring.
