IN SEARCH OF A CURE - Firefighters Jim Sills and Greg O'Reilly were among the Seaforth
volunteer firefighters who collected 'tolls' late Friday as a way of supporting the fire
departments' special cause of fighting muscular dystrophy.
Health unit stresses prevention
Perth County's Medical Of-
ficer of Health, Dr. Susan
Tamblyn, talked about ac-
tivities of the Health Unit when
she addressed the August
meeting of the Huron Perth
District Health Council at the
Westover Inn, St. Marys on
Aug. 22.
She said preventative care,
the promotion of health and the
health protection of the entire
population of Pertfi are the
unit's concern, within the
resources available to it.
Dr. Tamblyn said heart
disease, cancer and stroke
account for 60 per cent of all
deaths, and . injuries are the
leading cause of death for
people from one to 44 -years -
old. She added about half of
these could be prevented by
controlling smoking, diabetes,
hypertension, elevated serum
'cholesterol and alcohol abuse.
The high immunization rate
of school children successfully
controls diseases like measles,
mumps and rubella, the doctor
said. - Proper nutrition in
childhood lays the groundwork.
for a healthy later life, whereas
poor eating causesthe opposite.
Dr. Tamblyn added a rural
water quality study released
last April showed 29 per cent
of the private wells tested had
unacceptable levels of bacteria.
She said funding cutbacks, new
directions in long-term care
and community health com-
munication will occupy the unit
in the immediate future.
The health council approved
a letter on long-term care to be
sent to Ontario's new Minister
of Health, James Wilson,
which states, according to its
press release: "it is now
understood that the new provin-
cial government will not now
be implementing certain sec-
tions of Bill 173, namely those
which would have severely
limited the involvement of such
organizations as the Victorian
Order of Nurses and the Red
Cross, as well as certain labour
adjustment provisions."
The letter advises the health
council supports the
government's intention to
proceed with the reform of
Ontario's long-term care sys-
tem.
The local health council "has
adhered to the values and
beliefs expressed by local
communities," the letter con-
tinued, "a grass-roots approach;
a client -focussed system;
improved access and coor-
dination; local accountability,
building on local strengths and
skills, promotion of col-
laboration, participation, con-
sumer choice, flexibility, and a
holistic approach to health
care."
The next meeting of the
district health council will be in
the board room at South Huron
Hospital in Exeter on Thur.
Sept. 28 at 6:30 p.m. The
public is welcome and en-
couraged to attend.
"A tremendous day in the
country" is how Perth County
Cents host pre -season game
cont. from page six
Mark Wilson, Corey Bridges
and Brian McNichol.
Jason Smith, Dean Finnigan,
Shaun Anstett, Dylan Wick,
Derek Smith and Scott Hender-
son replied for the Centenaires,
who trailed 7-6 after two
periods.
Jamie Thomas of Stratford
showed the most junior
promise of the six goalies,
three on each side, who played
a period in the game.
He made some fine stops and
shut the Cents out over the
final 20 minutes of play.
"I hate rookie games," the
rookie co-head coach of the
Centenaires, Jim Campbell,
summed up succinctly im-
mediately after leaving the ice.
Some of those who played
for Seaforth Friday will again
be in the lineup this Friday
night at Thamesford when
veterans are added to the 'mix
and the Centenaires play an
exhibition with the defending
OHA Junior "D"evelopment
League champion Trojans at
8:30 p.m.
The Cents will be at home
the next Friday for another pre-
season game, against Hanover's
Barons.

HeartHealth Myth '5:
A salad is a more nutritious
choice than a hamburger
A salad of garden greens and
vegetables with low-fat dressing is a
healthy choice. But if you load your
plate with macaroni saladbacon bits,
lots of cheese, all smothered in a heavy
cream dressing, think again. A low-fat
hamburger would be a better choice.

Think before you make there. -:
