Reflexologist speaks at meeting GRAND BEND - Memt ..rs of the Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Women's League (CWL) of Grand •Bend, met in the new par- ish halt February 1. C.W.L. president Cathy Vrolyk chaired the business and introduced the guest speaker, Ellen Grote. Grote is a chiropodist who provides footcare and reflexology - Europe- an style. She received her training in her native Germany and pointed out that the concept of professional footcare, much less the practice of reflexology, seems to be relatively unknown in Canada, Her informa- tion and products come from Ger- many, where such treatment is rou- tinely used in general health care as part of good preventive medicine. There are 26 bones in the foot she said, and if they are not properly aligned, imbalance can result in eventual stress on the knees, hips and spine creating back problems. Walking barefoot is a healthy pre- ventative measure. She discussed plantar warts, foot exercises and demonstrated foot care on several C.W.L. members with her portable treatment kit. Grote also explained the basics of reflexology - how are- as on the soles of the feet corre- spond to various centres of the body - brain, sinuses, lungs, endo- crine glands and major organs. Two years ago, Canada joined the Amer- ican League of Reflexology, so gradually the medical profession is beginning to hear about its possible berretiohl effects in prevention as well as relief of symptoms. Grote lives in Askona, where she is home on Tuesdays and sol ie Fridays for treatments, and also has offices in Stratf rd and Sarnia. The business meeting opened with prayer and a spiritual reading by Annie Vandenbygaart.

The death of pet; an animal killed by the roadside; a discus- sion ,in the classroom: all of these can help young children learn about dying. Handled with tendemess and understand- ing, these experiences can help build a healthy, accepting at- titude toward death. If someone close tothe child dies, a relative or a friend, these first experiences with death can help the child accept the death of a loved one when it comes. Adults can assist this process by helping the child to understand that sorrow and tears are not tor the person who died, but because the de- ceased will be missed so much. Talking openly with a child when he or she has an experi- ence with death can form the foundation for a lifelong accep- tance of death, a fact of life. And a healthy attitude about death will help the child accept it when it touches his or her fife again. As funeral directors, we can help you to help your child un- derstand death. Please stop by.
