Christmas seal STRATFORD - A lot has changed about Christmas since the early 1900s. Christmas trees are as apt to come from factory as a for- est; nutcrackers have given way to electronic gam :s in children's stockings. One thing that hasn't changed is Christmas Seals. The colourful seals can still be found on millions of cards each year,.and they're still the country's leading source of funds for fighting lung diseases. The Lung Association has just mailed the 1993 Christmas Seals 'to some 3.5 million homes in On- tario, including 51,000 homes in Huron and Perth Counties. This year's campaign aims to raise $5 million province wide for medical research and community programs to combat asthma, emphysema, lung cancer and other forms of lung disease which together repre- sent the 'third leading cause of death in Canada. Funds from the first Christmas Seal campaign, over 80 years ago, were used to fight tuberculosis, then the leading cause of death in .OntariQ. n81118114 wi ftil re43 ler - Blyth Singers present Messiah SEAFORTH - The Blyth Festi- val Singers are presenting the Mes- siah by G.F.

Dr. Chris Tebbutt, medical advisor of The Lung ' Association, Huron -Perth Counties, says the rise in tubercu- losis is a cause for concem, but certainly not panic. Dr. Tebbuu says the next few years could bring significant gains in lung disease research. "New therapies are saving an increasing number of babies born with respir• - atory problems. We're also close to unraveling the genetic causes of asthma. With success in these are- as and continued progress against air pollution and smoking, tens of thousands of lives could be saved each year." However, more resources are desperately needed. In recent years, the death rate from lung dis- ease has been increasing dramati- cally. Dr. Tebbutt says that, "With more resources, we cannot only stop the alarming rise in deaths from lung diseases, we can reverse it. That's what Christmas Seals .are about." yuj Vanastra Lions 4th ANNUAL BAZAAR CRAFT AND HOBBY SHOW AND PENNY SALE Vanastra Rec.
