And not only one or two, Give awards at Cromarty Sy MRS. ROSERT LAING Cromarty Sunday School attendance certificates and diplomas were given out by Mrs. Thos Scott at the annual Rally Day Service Sunday morning. Those receiving awards were Carrah Templeman, and Steven Pullman first year; Lari-Jo Gardiner third; Sarah Elliott, fourth, Leanne Gardiner, Michelle Martyn fifth; Danny Elliott, sixth; Sherri Elliott and Wanda Mar- tyn, seven; Tom Laing and Lisa Gardiner, eight; Dennis Elliott, nine and Barbara Templeman, 12. The certificates with their. seals will be framed and hung in the Sunday School room un- til the pupils graduate. During the service the junior girls' choir sang Bless the Lord and led the con- gregation in the singing of the hymns Joyful, Joyful and Lord, Speak to Me, and in the chorus, I've Got the Joy with actions. Rev Kenneth Knight spoke on the theme, supporting the church's Christian Educa- tional program, stating that Christian Education is to teach us to live a life that is Christian. In his children's story, he compared the Bible to an umbrella. It has to be" opened if it's going to be any good. The service of commitment was conducted by Mr. Knight with the S.S. leaders and teachers and the congrega- tion taking part. Teachers for this year are Alice Gardiner, Barbara Templeman, Hannah Miller, and Edna Stoneman. Mrs. John Scott was organist for the service. If your chimney is defective, your house may be feeling just like you do right now. Because heating systems take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide. just like you do. But when'a furnace can't get enough oxygen, or carbon dioxide can't escape, your house can't "breathe" Carbon monoxide can be created and that is a dangerous situation for you and your family. A clean and clear chimney is necessary to vent your furnace properly.. Here are some warning signs of chimney deterioration: D loose mortar and bricks 0 white powder or water stains on chimney above roof 0 water stains at the chimney's clean-out door. YOU MAY NEED A CHiMNE:Y LINER TO PREVENT EROSION OF THE MASONRY. I :or your safety, and for your peace of mind, have your heating system and chimney inspected and cleanedannually by a qualified contractor. You and your house will both breathe a sigh of relief. Ministry of Consumer and Commercial Relations Ontario Robert Elgie M.D., Minister William Davis, Premier but sometimes three or even four! Now, take a good close look! See anything else besides the tow bar? Well, there should be according to the Highway Traffic Act (H.T.A. for short). In Section 62, which in ef- fect says that you can't haul a motor vehicle, a trailer or any other object or device on a highway behind a motor vehicle or a farm tractor, unless there are two separate means of attachment, and they must not permit the trailer or whatever is being towed to become detached. I have a new friend named Ann. We've spent a few even- ings together recently. Now, even though Ann and I have been spending alot of time with each other, she really hasn't warmed up to me. In fact, most of the time, she's rather cool and aloof, despite my repeated efforts to get some responses out of her. But on the other hand, she doesn't complain much either. Even when I broke a few of her ribs, she didn't say a word. And a couple of times I almost let her die. Actually, Ann isn't a lot of fun-- she spends most of her time at death's door. Ann doesn't have a last name, but she does have a longer name -- Resusci Ann. And since I know her well now, I know she won't mind me saying that she's a dummy. Ann is a very important part of a course in CPR that I've been taking. No, I'm not learning to bean engineer for the Canadian Pacific Railway. CPR is a very con- venient short form for the un- pronouncable Car- diopulmonary Resuscitation. To quote our very important, textbook, CPR consists of opening and maintaining a patient's airway; (A), pro- viding artificial ventiliation by means of rescue breathing (B), and providing artificial circulation (C) by means of external cardiac compres- sion. As easy es -ABC, right? In effect, the concept is easy enough -- people have to have air, they have to breathe, and their heart must circulate their blood. But remembering all the proper steps to take, and all the rules of the process -- that's the tough part. If we didn't learn anything else in the course, we. have (earned one thing that might very well prove useful some day -- we have memorized the telephone number of our local ambulance service. Now the digits 296-4964 just roll off our tongues. Unless you live in the Thedford-Port Franks area, I wouldn't bother to remember that particular number, but it would be worthwhile to memorize the number in your area. Or at least, write the number down and stick it on your 'telephone. Our instructor, Gary Cassidy of the Forest Am- bulance Service, stressed the importance of calling an am- bulance. Too often, heart at- tack victims will deny that they are having anything as serious as a heart attack. "Oh, it's just some indiges- tion, it'll go away," they say. Then when they finally agree Of course, like everything else, there are a few excep- tions, like having a licenced driver behind the wheel of a motor vehicle or having a fifth wheel attachment, or when you are just towing something directly across the road with a farm tractor. There are quite a few wor- thwhile definitions and words of wisdom that we could throw at you, but we won't. If you really want to know the difference between a motor vehicle and a vehicle, or what a full trailer is,then just write or give us a call and we can give you the whole lay out. Mary's e musings By Mary Alderson to go to a hospital, they don't want to ride in an ambulance. They just climb in the back seat of the car and say that they'll be alright. Unfor- tunately, the driver of the car.. can't do anything for them, and anyone riding aloqnngg won't have the skill or egtiipment that an ambulance attendant has. Even for those of us who live in the country, it is worth ' waiting an extra few minutes for an ambulance to come, rather than trying to transport someone to the hospital ourselves. Unfor- tunately, too many cars pull into the emergency entrance of the hospitals when it's too late. Sure there could be false alarms -- somebody could be rushed to the hospital by am- bulance and then walk out feeling fine --those pains were just indigestion after all. A very embarrassing situation, indeed. But- as Gary asked, "What would you rather, be, embarrassed or dead?" In our CPR course, we have learned how to do rescue breathing for someone who is not breathing on his own but has a. pulse, and CPR for so- meone who is not breathing and has no pulse. These skills are not just for heart attack victims, they can be used cases of electric shock, drowning, hypothermia (low body temperature due to im- mersion in cold water) and stroke. We learned the proper procedure for assisting chok- ing victim who has an ob- sructed airway. We work on poor Resusci Ann, who pro- vides us with a tape on which penned lines show us exactly what we are doing right, and of course. what we are doing wrong. Ann also has a baby sister. While the techniques are dif- ferent for a baby,. the same basic principles apply. And although what we are learning is serious business, the course hasn't been without its fun moments. While we students are concen- trating on following the pro- cedures carefully. step by step, our instructor. Gary, tries to distract us or throw us off course by showing us ex- amples of how some hjsterical bystanders act in an emergency. "Hey, that guy's turning blue. Should we turn him :upsidedown and shake him?" he shouts. The student almost forgets to be calm and cool while going ahead with CPR and sending the bystander to call an ambulance. Will we be distracted or forgetful in an emergency? i hope we never. have to find out. Surprise Sale Back to the "two separate means of attachment", it's simply a tow bar and a safe- ty device (chains), that won't allow the trailer to drop to the ground or swing outside safe limits. How do you accomplish that? Cross the chains under the tow bar and hook them near the hitch, that's all! If you still want to take a chance, go ahead, but you'd better start looking over your shoulder. You're either going to see your trailer leaving you for the other side, (we're ,hopeful there isn't another car), or you're going to see a black and white and one of those guys with a ticket book. STIFFER PENALTIES Ontario Transportation and Communications Minister James Snow reminds drivers stiffer penalties are now in ef- fect for those who fail to stop for stationary school buses with red lights flashing. "The law has been in effect for many years and has been well publicized," Snow added, "yet police and school bus operators advise us that some drivers are still failing to stop. "Therefore, drivers who continue to fail to stop, are now liable for a fine of bet- ween $100 and $500 for a first offence and will be assessed six demerit points instead of four." A subsequent offence within five years costs a driver a fine between $250 and $1,000, or imprisonment of, up to six months, or loth. This also carries the six demerit point penalty. "In addition," he said, "the law requires a driver to stop 20 metres or approximately four car lengths behind a sta- tionary school bus with red lights flashing to allow an ex- tra margin of safety for children crossing the street. Rats sink another craft Muskrats, on the river at Grand Bend, sank another boat last week. The 26 -foot power craft "Rampage" -was at peace at the bottom of the river Friday at dawn. The little racals, with an ad- diction to the rubber seal at the back of some of the boats, chewed their way into creating $5,000 damage in a few blissful hours during the night. Water leaked into the engine compartment, releas- ing gas and oil. Instruments, radio equipment and fur- nishings of the $50,000 craft were ruined, It took hours to get the big boat to land at Snider Marina and 24 hours to drain the craft. It isowned by Robert Dodge of Kerwood and is believed to be insured against such disaster. v • ate = • tember 29 1982 P • • 7A FLOWERS FOR A PRINCESS — A bouquet of red roses was one of numerous gifts presented to the 1982-83.
