We wish there were more to sing in the choir 'Til our voices would ring from the tall church spire You could play the organ for all it is worth And Satan would tremble, t'would be heaven on • earth. Por any who have passed this way Your gift of music invites them to stay There's room for them and many, many more But when Jesus knocks; who answers the door? •You're better for the world than the G.S.T. if there were more like you it would never be You give of your talents filling many a need But you do it for love and not for greed. Fm one of many who's been richly blessed By the music and hymns that you play .Others could reap the,same rich reward • If they took time to pass this way. You shepherd us all from the choir loft We'rf>all clay in yourpotters hands ' . • Wc're.all grateful and thankful you fire us up" ..

Canadians m isinfotned about "The silent Killer" TORONTO - A majority of Ca- nadians are at risk. of developing high blood pressure but know little about "the silent killer", a recent survey revealed. The National High Blood Pres- sure Quiz showed that 61 percent of Canadians who participated in, the computer storey are in the medium to high risk categories of develop- ing high blood pressure. • The findings of the survey also indicated that high blood pressure is generally misunderstood by Canadi- ans, but particularly among those who already suffer from high blood pressure than 10,000 Canadians completed The National High Blood Pressure Quiz between May and August, 1990. g Quiz, an interactive touch screeitfiomputer, is located' in phar- macies across the country. The Quiz asked a series of true and false questions and also assessed if an dividual was in a low, medium or high risk of deveioping high blood More than one out of 1p respon • dents (12 percent) said they have been diagnosed u having high blood pressure. The incidence of high blood pressure was patrdculariy high among those over SS years old, with upper weight ranges and amort those who consume large quant of alcohol. Most Canadians (53 percent) are in a medium rick category, while eight percent are high risk and a are a low tle more looa$per- cent) risssssskcategory.inStress not the calpsit The survey revealed that 76 pay cent of Canadians believe that peo- ple who are under a lot Of stttiatts\ tend to develop hood promblood prom.In fat Mgh cased �r a�. stress can raise blood pram tbatpor t. �• • tr More than one-third (34 percent) of the respondents incorrectly be- lieve that people can feel when their blood pressure is high End that is when they should take their medication. Confusion about medication A more alarming finding is 39 percent of respondatts who have been diagnosed with high blood believe "most people can eel ehen their blood pressure is and this is when they *veld • their medication". In fact, the disease is often termed "the silent killer": because it displays no outward symptoms to alert people to the fact that they have it. Left untreated, high blood pressure can lead to hart attacks, strokes or kidney failure. "I am alarmed to learn that peo- ple may be utmpering with their medication and taking it only where they "feel" their blood pros- . sure is hi�th.1' said Bit Kassel, a _,Toronto far who was one of the first pharmacists to use the -.Quiz. "We takegreat care to make au:epatiett: understand medication • for high blood pressure must be taken regularly, as,bed whether they feel or not: If they don't, the consequences could be extremely harmful, if not fa- tal."

The good N iws is that most Ca- nadians, anti particularly dose with high blood pressure, lave had their pressureod within the last gars. A marodty of Cana- dians (70 percc n) say they have had their blood pressure checked since 1988. Health cora professionals rec- ommend that blood pressure be cheeloed a minimum of once every two Yea Tips to help And moat Canadians who took the Quiz are aware diet alcohol con- sumption, excess weight and diet play a role in high blood pressure.

And yet, the beginning of a brand- new year has a freshness, a newness, an appeal that cant help but lift one's spirits. We've been given another year to start over again. Have you made your New Year's Resolutions yet? I thought I might • resolve ,to stop procrastinating..,but Til leave that for later to think about. Whatever yon decide to do with this new year somehow the fust day has an element of change to it. Resolutions are a kind of token of - faith that the changing number on the calendar really means some- thing more than just growing older. • Last week we were in the middle 'of the hustle•and bustle of.Christ- mas.
