Cleaning up the planet Earth
BY TIM CUMMING

Have you heard parents yell to
children, 'Clean up your room!'?
Students of Seaforth Public School
have gone one step farther...they're
cleaning up their planet.
As part of Earth Day last week
students helped clean up around
their school and planted trees at the
Seaforth Fairgrounds site.
The local theme for the school
children was 'Together we can
make a difference.Students were
assigned different areas in the
school yard and were responsible
for cleaning their area. Students
separated materials which would go
to the landfill or which could be
decomposed.
Is concern with the environment a
passing fad? Not accor ling to
Seaforth Public School tea. her Kim
Talbot. She says her class has been
recycling in the classrt-am and
reusing materials for art p-ojects.
"They've actually made machines
and inventions out of odds and
ends," she said.
The students arc intei asted in
accepting responsibility for protect-
ing the environment, aca urding to
Talbot. In fact, it's sometime the
children who push the ;ldults to
recycle.
The students often kno helpful
hints to help the environ it, such
as taking a shower jester . a bath
to conserve water.
As part of Earth Day th, .tudents
made an effort to 'think green' and
wore green clothes to school.

Brain holds key to stroke cure
asked if a daily aspirin could keep
a stroke away. There is some indi-
cation aspirin has some application,
said Dr. Cechetto, but he said that
was something for an individual to
talk over with his or her doctor.
ANIMALS IN RESEARCH
Research using animals such as
rats is a necessity, said Dr.
Cechetto, who is also an associate
professor at Western University. He
said the animals aren't treated inhu-
manely.
"We must use an animal model,"
he said. "It's either that or not do
the research at all."
Dr. Cechetto has worked for
about 14 years in the neurological
studies field. He recently spoke at
an international conference in
Switzerland on research into the
parts of the brain which relate to
stress and cardiac disease.

The link between the brain and
the heart is crucial to understanding
stroke and how to prevent it, said a
research scientist speaking in
Holmesville on Monday night.
Dr. David Cechetto works at the
John P. Robarts Institute in London.
His research involves determining
which of the higher centres of the
brain control the heart.
"In the last few years we've
learned a tremendous amount about
those higher hrain centres," he said
on Monday night in Holmesvillc.
The hrain and heart communicate
with both electrical and chemical
signals. Dr. Cechetto and his fellow
researchers want to determine the
type of chemicals in the pathway to
the heart and the chemical changes
which follow stroke.
"We hope by identifying these
very specific chemical changes that
this will lead to a way of treating
people for their cardiac problems or
for stroke itself," he said at
Monday's Information/Appreciation
night for Huron County volunteers
of the Heart and Stroke Foundation.
One application of the research is
understanding why some stroke
victims, who appear to be recover-
ing, will have a heart attack. The
knowledge being gained from his
research includes helping to identify
people who are at nsk for cardiac
problems which follow stroke.
The research could lead to the
discovery of drugs to counter some
effects of stroke or to help give
information to a doctor to best trcat
a patient. Research is indicating that
too much of some chemical may be
released in the brain.

Highest music
mark in province
Joyce Fell spent several days in
Oshawa, attending the Ontario
Registered Music Teacher's Associ-
ation (ORMTA) convention where
she was presented with the Cora B.
Ahrens Award from ORMTA for
obtaining the highest mark in the
province in her written Teachers
Piano Pedagogy examination, taken
through the Western Ontario Con-
servatory of Music, London. Her
parents also attended the conven-

she was successful in her Grade 10

first class honours. Congratulations,
Joyce!
The April meeting of the Staffa
Women's Institute, held in the
township hall on Wednesday, April
20 at 1:30 p.m. was a very special
meeting.
A presentation of life membership
and pins was made to Margaret
Daynard and Helen Parsons, in
appreciation of more than 25 years
of dedication and service to Staffa
Women's Institute. The presentation
was made by Joyce Miller and
Roberta Templeman.
Joyce opened the meeting with
the Institute Ode, accompanied by
pianist Verld Mahon, and the Mary
Stewart Collect.
The minutes and correspondence
were read by Secretary, Lillian
Douglas, who will be leaving the
W.I. in the near future. Verld
Mahon said a few well-chosen
words of appreciation to Lillian and
presented her with a gift from her
Staffa W.I. friends. Lillian will be
missed.
Roberta Templeman reported on
the Workshop which she had
attended recently at Centralia Col-
lege and Freda Kerslake entertained
with some Irish wit. Mention was
made of the Daffodil Tea to be
held in Main Street Church on
Friday, April 29 from 11 a.m. to
1:30 p.m. Delegates were chosen
for the District Annual, May 10.
Joyce Miller declared all offices
vacant and Lillian was appointed
secretary for the annual meeting.
The 1993-94 year began with the
planning and presentation of the
90th anniversary, continuing on
with car tours to Stratford Museum,
Perth County Court House, and
Perth County Archives, as well as a
tour of General Homes in Hensall
where members followed the pro-
cess of the building of a home from
