Relatives and friends gathered from Royal Oak and Saginaw, Michigan, Peterborough, Downsview, Hagers- ville, Jackson's Point, Walkerton, Kitchener, London, Plattsville, Bright, Wallaceburg, Seaforth and Varna.

The two oldest people present were 82 -year-old Jim Reid of Sagi- naw, Michigan and Margaret Ste- phenson of Seaforth. The youngest person was three and one half month old Shania Schnarr of Bright, Ontario. The family with four generations attending the pic- nic was the McClinchey's with Grace from Goderich, Ronald from Kitchener, Cheryl and her children Amber and Brody Snider from Plattsville. A bountiful meal was enjoyed at 5:00 and many stayed to listen to the band concert in the park. Much credit for the success of the reunion is due to the untiring efforts of Bob and Marg Reid who organize the picnic. The Varna -Goshen church ser- vice on Sunday was held in Goshen with Rev.

People know they shouldn't use alcohol with sleeping pills and nerve pills. But combining "over-the-counter- pain pills and regular alcohol use (3 or more drinks/day) can result In liver damage (with Acetaminophen use) or Increased risk of gastric bleeding or ulcers (with ASA and Ibuprofen use). Speaking of pain pills, It's not a good Idea to use ASA and Acetamino- phen together. These drugs can have additive toxic effects on the kid- ney. Using a single analgesic In the right dose Is a better approach. From the Canadian Liver Foundation come these signs of liver trouble: 1) Yellow discolouration of the skin or eyes; 2) abdominal swelling or severe abdominal pain; 3) prolonged itching of the skin; 4) very dark urine or pale stools or the passage of bloody or tar -like stools; 5) chronic fatigue, nausea or loss of appetite. Check with your doctor if you are concerned. It's Important to be an advocate for your own health. Be an active learner about all health matters including the drugs you take.
