Since 1927, lung associations across Canada have used the "Christmas Seal" as their sole method of raising funds. Funds which only a few years ago were used to wipe out the mysterious white plague - tuberculosis. Today, over 5 million Canadians suffer from other lung disorders ranging from the common cold to lung cancer. Edith Brothers of the Huron Perth Lung Associa- tion reports that "lung dis- eases extract a staggering sum from Canadian economy. The cost of hospital treatment alone is estimated at more than $400 million annually. Payments to physicians, the cost of drugs and other related charges are estimated to total another $100 million." Respiratory diseases are the greatest cause of absenteeism from school and work and the cause of death for more than 19,459 Canadians in 1979, the most recent year for which figures are available. Last year 50,000 was rais- ed in Huron Perth Counties. A small portion of this is sent to the Canadian Lung Association for national programs, and the remainder stays in this com- munity. These funds enable the Huron Perth Lung Association to carry out the - many preventative programs in an effort to con- trol Lung Diseases. i Best Interest M We represent many Trust Companies.

Wein Tax Collector Township of Stephen "Insulating the house made a big difference: over $1,000 a year on the heating bill There's one thing you can do about the rise in fuel prices. Use less. CMHC rec- ommends that, if you own or intend to buy an older home, you would be wise to.make the investment in bringing the insulation up to standard. ()r if you are thinking about buying a new home, be sure to ask the builder about its en- ergy saving features. Then compare the cost and energy saving characteristics of other homes available. Remember, the cost of heating is a very important consideration when purchasing a home.
