GDIGHOFFERS (WINGHAM) LI°MITRD FORMERLY EDIGHOFFER'S Firemen told no limit to fuhire in electronics field The Blyth Fire Department was host to the Huron County Mutual Fire Aid Association on Monday night. The new fire truck delivered recently to Blyth was inspected by the visit- ing firemen. Don Owen, fire service of- ficer from the Fire Marshal's Office and Dan Daley of Hick- ey Fire Equipment Company were guests. The speaker was R. Smiley of Bell of Canada who retires on June 15. He was assisted in demonstrations of equipment by Ken Newcombe who will suc- ceed Mr. Smiley. Mr. Smiley gave a history of the Bell 'Telephone Company Campaign for the Wearing of seat belts launched "Still not wearing seat belts... What's holding Y 0 U back?' That's the theme of a campaign the Ontario Depart- ment of Transport is launching in June. "Research studies have prov- en beyond question. that seat belts can often prevent serious injury or death when a traffic collision occurs, and yet the number of drivers and passen- gers wearing them remains tragically small, " Hon. Irwin Haskett, Ontario's Transport Minister, reports. The seat belts campaign has two objectives; first to make people question' their own rea- sons for not using seat belts and, second, to encourage them to adopt the habit of fastening lap and shoulder belts every time they get into a car, "It should be just as auto- matic as turning the key, " Mr. Haskett said. "Those who ne- glect to use their belts are tak- ing needless risks. It is com- mon sense for a driver to do up his belts, and to see.that his family or other passengers do the same. " The campaign will begin June 5 with a "seat belt semin- ar", and it will continue With a province -wide promotion. A variety of - materials will , be provided by the Transport Department fo.r 'distribution through poli c e , community asafety groups, service clubs, Chambers of Commerce a n d other organizations with an in- terest in saving lives on the • highway. The materials in- •elude posters, . folders, place mats and dashboard stickers. The seminar on June 5, to be held in Toronto,. brings„ together medical and traffic ex pert s from Canada and the United States to give 'authoritative comments on' t w o cpertinent questions: "Do seat belts really save' lives? If so, w h y don't people wear them?" Three panelists from " t h, e medical profession and three .from the motor vehicle manu- facturing industry will take part at the morning session. 4 from its early days to the ,pry-, ent time. Bell of 'anada'i - search department has become the most advanced in modern communications. Mr. Smile$► outlined future development which will be used in the busi- ness world and medicine. Solar batteries, silicone di- odes and transistors are now to minute °that they can be passed through the eye of a small needle. These are used in mak- ing up components of the tele- phone system and have replaced the vacuum tubes. They have made possible the development of the wrist radio and TV; more workable equipment can now be put in smaller space. There is no limit to the po- tential of electronics. Research in the next five to ten years will make the fiction of today a reality tomorrow. The laser beam was' demonstrated which will play an important part in communications and medicine. It is now possible with the laser to cut a hole smaller than the diameter of a human hair in a diamond. The' beam is being used to wire components as fine as hair in communication equip- ment. The work is done under microscopes by women. The audience was spellbound and intrigued by the possibili- ties for the future. Mr. Smiley was introduced by Don Young of Blyth and thanked by the a president, Dave Crothers of Wingham, Mr. Owen spoke on the drafting of fire reports. The next meeting of the as- sociation will be held in Brus- sels on July 3. • The Big.

Whether or not you decide to in crease your ability to read fast, keep in mind there are times when reading accurately is more im- portant than reading speedily. read the label on a medicine con- tainer, says the Council on Fam- ily Health. Taking or giving medicine is so important to the health and safety of you and your family that you should un- derstand the directions you are reading, and then double check yourself. If you want to measure how well you understand what you rer, test yourself by reading a medicine label in your home, says . the Council, a non-profit organi- zation sponsored as a public serv- ice by leading members of the drug industry. Did you note the amount of medicine to be taken? Does the dosage vary for adults and children? How often should the medicine be taken? If a liquid, should you shake the container well before pour- ing? Is it for external or internal use? Does the label state the pur- pose of the medicine? Are there instructions for proper storage ... such as "Keep in a cool place." Should you take the medicine before or after eating? Are there cautions as to cer- tain activities that should be curtailed or discontinued while taking the medicine? Not all medicine labels con- tain all of the information listed above, but all information on each label is important. Heeding rather than speeding is the watchword when reading directions for the use of medi- cine, says the Council on Family Health. v PARK LAND AREA -- This section of the Maitland River shoreline on the north side of the upper pond immediately north-east of the Howson bridge includes the right-of- way for Mill Street, a thoroughfare which was never opened for use.
