Soon the Health Unit is coming back to start their dental cheek -up. Tooth brushes and gel will be supplied free el charge and dental flossing will be taught to the grade 8's. This program is formed to reduce tooth decay among elementary students -by Jeff Brown Christmas coming Our primary grades are making some very in- teresting decorations for Christmas.

We have two temporary murals up In the lunlor end, showing the nort�i pole and one in the senior end la being worked on by Mrs. Crodter's grade 8 class. Mr. Addison's grade 8's have been working on a permanent space mural ,"to beautify the halls" and Mr. 14,on's 7-8 class is starting a time and travel mural to illustrate different means of transportetlon throughout the ages. We have had one mural in our hall for about six years now done by grade 8's. It shows the history of Clinton. The nice thing about these murals is that each person's time and efforts will add colour and beauty to our school for as long as'takends and each person who worked on one can be proud —by Dianne Batkln Concerts set December 15 will be a busy day for the choirs of our school.

One was put on by a representative of the Canadian Coast Guard. Mr. Chris Everet Allowed us a film about water safety. He talked ,. to us about hypothermia. That's when you are in very cold water and the water can malie you. soon lose consciousness. Evfai Lake Superior is cold enough in summer to do it if you are In it for a certain emoted of time. He showed us the different kinds of life jackets and PFD (Personal Flotation Devices). Our second assembly was concerning our bikes. An O.P.P. Officer, Eric Gosse, gave everybody a card that was to be completed. If they found a bike that had been stolen they would look et all of the cards of that kite of bike and they would determine whose bike it is. If it is yours you will have to go to get it wherever it is. Both of these assemblies were great help to the kids at our school.—by Lori Colquhoun Goderich VOCUM," Centre 52 West St.,_Godearlch Phone: 524-4112 Directly Across from Culberf's fishery Sales -Service & Supplies NEW AND RE -BUILT *FILTER QUEEN *PELECTROLUX *HOOVER *KIRBY *ROYAL *REGINA *LEWYT *EUREKA *ELECTRO -HYGIENE Complete Service Centre �For Most Appliances M yet, fest end efficient service„ BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL DIRECTORY PAGE 2 —CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER d ,1981 Nothing to it!

Do your skates still fit? Probably not, and your parents have told you that new skates are too expensive. Well don't despair -- you'll get onto that rink. How? Keep your ears open for a skate exchange — an event where people trade skates that don't fit for ones that do. There's bound to be an organization in your community that runs an exchange; a school, church, firehall, or community centre. Take your old skates in and trade them for a pair that fit — you may have to pay a few dollars, but that's better than $30.00. If you don't have a pair of skates to trade, you can still buy some, but they'll cost a little more. Once you have a pair that fit, you'll probably want to fix them up a bit; everyone likes their skates to look good. Skates that are taken care of usually work better than ones that aren't, Blades are a very important part of skates — are your blades shiny and sharp? No? A steel wool soap pad will get rid of that bumpy rust. After you rub the rust off, polish the blades dry; water and blades don't mix. To make sure your blades stay rust free, dry off the snow and ice everytime you use them. Skates can be sharpened at some arenas, sports shops, and hardware stores. Somebody near you will be able to give your skates an edge. Protect yo'P_new e4Pe wif' some skate res; ha. year's will do just line. If the scuff marks on your new skates bug you, polish the leather with liquid shoe polish. The liquid products work best because they soak into the marks and cover them up. If your skates are really messy, put on a few coats until you're satisfied. New laces always make skates look better, although old ones still do the job. The most impor- tant thing is to have skates that fit — ones that are too small will give you cold feet — and skates that work well. Polish and sharpen those dull rusty blades, put on your "new" skates, and zoom onto a rink. Have fun!

Sc. N. PUBLIC HEALTH NURSE In recent years research has been done to determine the effects of maternal alcohol consumption during pregnancy on an unborn baby. Unfortunately, informa- tion on hazards to, the fetus from low' consumption of alcohol during pregnancy are not available. We can on- ly assume the consequences with the knowledge gained from studies of moderate to heavy alcohol consumers among mothers -to -be. Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) has been identified and is a series of physical and mental defects in babies caused by alcohol abuse dur- ing pregnancy. The symp- toms of FAS include slow growth during pregnancy and following birth, small. head, sunken nasal bridge and narrow' eye slits, malformed limbs, defective organs, genital abnor- malities and mental retarda- tion. As the baby develops, behavioural and learning difficulties are evident. Although such symptoms are found in babies of mothers who indulged in alcohol heavily during pregnancy, similar symp- toms in varying degrees have appeared in babies of mothers who consumed Smile You are young i\at any age if you are planning for tomorrow. much less alcohol. Consump- tion of lesser doses of alcohol on a regular basis or single high doses (binge drinking) may produce symptoms short of the full syndrome. Alcohol consumption at various stages of pregnancy could be an important fac- tor. The majority of fetal development occurs in the earlymonths of and this may well pregnancy crucial time. The obvious problem being - often pregnancies are not confirm- ed onfirmed for several weeks follow- ing ollowing conception. Experts state the more a pregnant woman drinks, the greater her risk of giving birth to an abnormal baby. Therefore, the ideal is for a woman to abstain from alcohol from the time of possible pregnancy until after the birth of the baby. The National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism fn the United States warns that there is a definite risk, to the fetus if a pregnant woman drinks three ounces or more of alcohol f two drinks) a day. In addition to obvious alcohol consumption, be aware of hidden alcohol con- tent. Many across-the- counter- remedies may con. rain alcohol. Read labels to be sure, better yet, discuss the problem with your doctor before self medicating, • BEAVERS SCOUTS CUBS 1st Clinton Beaver Colony - "Mr. Wolf, What lime Is It?" was the gathering game led by Chopper. Beavers then gathered in a circle as Rusty read the story of Keeo, the talking Beaver. Keeo is an important link between the Beavers, Cubs and Scouts. Keeo also plays an im- portant part in the leadership team and Michael Hallam was presented with his badge for the great job he is doing with the colony. A Christmas game put the Beavers in the spirit to settle down and handicraft Santa Claus from pine cones. Adson songs led by Tic Tac brought the meeting toa close. Clinton BoyScouts- This week there weren't as many boys receiving badges as there were last week. Rodney Freeman earned his engineering and winter sportsman chailenge badges.
