Lions promote Easter Seals EXETER - The Exeter Lions Club has announced the start of the 1995 Easter Seals Campaign. Again, the Lions Club will be so- liciting donations through a "mail in" program, proceeds of which are dedicated for local area chal- lenged youth. Area residents will soon be re- ceiving, through the mail, their Easter Seals envelopes. Easter Seal Chairman, Laverne Hamilton, re- minds all donors that although mailings are directed from Toronto and returned to Toronto, proceeds are monitored and returned to the area to meet local area needs. "Easter Seal donations collected through the Lions club have assist- ed several challenged youths in the area to live a satisfying life at home" says Laverne. "The costs associated with the requirements have continually increased, how- ever, donations have not. Lately we have not received sufficient do- nations to cover our needs," La- verne says. The Lions Club urges everyonq receiving an Baster Seals envelope to try to give something, no matter how little. All donations of $10.00 or more will be issued a receipt for tax purposes. • • • • • • • •• • • • • • • •• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •• • • • • • • • • • • zxzzzzzzxxzzzzzzzuu CUSTOM FLORAL DESIGN for your home or office Penny's many years of experience in the floral industry, gives her a unique approach to creating custom designed floral artistry.

This fact really reinforces the idea that if you are preg- nant, aon't drink alcohol... for your baby's sake. Many people have back problems and very often, the cause is years of poor posture. It is suggested that we spend too many hours slouched in front of the TV. So be conscious of your back at all times. Sit up straight and support it so it can support yyg better. Here's a different walking -for -exercise idea: try walking in knee- deep water at the beach or pool. It's easier on the knees and can bum 300-500 calories per hour. Cold weather could cause an increase in angina pain. Lower tem- peratures cause some veins to constrict causing increased work load on the heart. If you use Nitroglycerin tablets, make sure they are not too old. HURON APOTHECARY Ltd. Phone 235-1982 440 Main St., Exeter "Your Health Care Pharmacy Available This Week;.
