The objective of the study is to determine whether early detection by mammography will reduce the[nodality rate from breast cancer. More than 4,500 Southwestern Ontario women between 40 and 59 years of age will take part in this five-year research pro- gram at the centre which is located at 371 Hill' Street in London. Donna Dean, co-ordinator of the London Breast Screen- ing Study, said women will be welcomed from an area stretching from Windsor in the south to the Bruce Penin- sula and bounded by Lake Huron to the west and Kit- chener to the east. "The only restrictions are that participants must be 40 - to -59 year old women who have never had breast cancer, are not pregnant and have not had a mammogram in the 12 months prior to entering the program," Mrs. Dean said. Half of the women volunteering for the pro- gram will receive an annual physical examination and x- ray of the breasts, along with being taught breast self- examination, for five years. The other half will be taught self-examination and will receive an initial physical examination of the breasts. If over 50, women, in the se- cond group will have an an- nual physical breast ex- amination. If under 50, women in the second group will not have to return to the clinic each year but will, in- stead, be followed by mail. If abnormalities are found. the family physician will be advised. It is the family physician and the patient who decide on further. management. "Manage- ment" includes both diagnosis acid treatment. For most women, no treat- ment will be required. The local program co- ordinator said that nearly 40,000 women already have been recruited for the pro- gram across Canada and 200 new cases of breast cancer have been detected. Junior Farmer exchange • from page I Both young farmers admit they have a trade to fall back on, Gord's is masonry and John's is butchery, but both now work full-time on the farm. Each owns 50 acres of land and they rent 80 workable acres, for a total of 160 acres of corn. Their swine operation consists of 110 sows of which they finish about a third. Commenting on the dry spell experienced, Gord Player said the corn yield is expected to be down this Year. "Last year we had about 110 dry bushels per acre. This year we'll have 65 if we're lucky," fiord said. The brothers acknowledge that both their wives work off the farm which has helped them get ahead finan- cially. Referring to his trade, Gord also noted that with his five years experience in masonry, he has been able to build some of the farm buildings himself. This, he said, has eliminated the cost of hiring a construction crew. The Junior Farmers didn't end their day after the tours. Each evening, back at Cen- tralia, the group discussed what they had seen that day. z' COME IN OUT OF THE Another purpose of the Breast Screening Study is to try to identify combinations of risk factors which may make it possible to select on- ly high risk candidates for screening in the future. It will also analyse the cost ef- fectiveness of current breast screening techniques and will provide information about breast cancer for use in computer simulation studies. The Breast Screening Study will complete screen- ing by March 31, 1988. It is funded by the National Cancer Institute of Canada, the Canadian Cancer Socie- ty, Health and Welfare Canada, the Medical Research Council of Canada, Le Ministere des Affaires Sociales du Quebec, the On- tario Ministry of Health and the Manitoba Health Ser- vices Commission.

The Library will be in Clinton from Augusta Taming f World Bood set costs $2,000 and was 1pKuurc� hasewith part of a $21,000 BOLD grant from the Ontario government. The rest of the money was used to buy reference books and large print books. Developed by the American Printing House for the blind with a $360,000 grant from the American Department of Education, the Talking World Book set consists of an index in braille and an index in large print; four track tape cassettes running one way; and a tape cassette player which is programmed to find any article a person wants in less than a minute. Thousands of articles are included in the 1300 hours on tape and these articles are read by professional announcers for clarity lind Susan Bell off Goderich, one of over 100 legally blind persons ixt the county, first discovered the Talking World Book set while visiting The World's Largest Book Store in Toronto. She then brought it to the attention of Huron County Chief Librarian, Bill Partridge.who took it from there. In order to ensure that all blind patrons in the county have a chance to use the talking set, it will be sent to each town library branch for two weeks according to the following schedule: Goderich—July 12- 25; Clinton—July 26 -August 8; Exeter— August 9-22; Seaforth—August 23 - September 12; and Wingham-September 13-26.

After the two week program, the set will be returned to the various bran- ches on a more permanent basis for a two month loan.

Bell to verify third number calls In an effort to cut down on fraudulent long distance calling, Bell Canada, star- ting October 17, will verify all third number calls billed from coin telephones. This is the third and final stage of the Company's plan to cut down on fraudulent third number calls billed from a payphone. Last year, Bell operators stopped accepting third number local calls billed fromi coin telephones. On April 15 of this year, on all third number long distance calls from coin telephone operators began attempting to contact the billed party to confirm that the person placing the call was known and that the charge was acceptable. However, if verification was not possible because the line was busy or there was no answer, the call was still put through. Starting October 17, all such numbers will have to be verified before the call is connected. If there is no answer or a busy signal at the billing number, the per- son placing the call will have the option of paying by coin, calling collect or using a long distance Calling Card, or calling another time. Murray Makin, Bell's vice- president Of customer ser- vices said the October 17 date was chosen to allow customers who regularly make third number calls k• from coin telephones to ob- tain Calling Cards. "Calling Cards will allow customers to charge long distance calls at regular operator -assisted rates," Makin said. Calling Cards are available to qualified business or residence users at no charge and can be ob- tained by completing the ap- plication form that will be enclosed with their August telephone bills. In 1982 there were more than 250,000 fraudulent third number long distance calls placed from coin telephones in Bell territory resulting in a loss of more than $1.3 million. This is a 90 per cent increase in fraud of this type since 1980. • We're ip Blowing The Lid Off High Prices DURING ..,„BEAT -THE -TAX, ABOUT THE 7% SALES TAX EXEMPTION...

( Rod Hilts photo ) Group home opens to warm reception WINGHAM - A group home for mentally retarded adults has opened its doors in Wingham to a warm reception. "We've had nothing but support from this town," Mike f)ouglas, director of the home, reported. "Wingham has bent over backward for the home - which isn't always the case in other towns." The home, located in a large, brick house on Edward Street, began operating in mid-July with the arrival of three residents from the Bluewater Centre at Goderich, which is to be closed. A fourth resident arrived a week later from the START Centre in St. Thomas. The group home has a capacity of eight residents. It is planned that the remaining four will come from the Wingham area. The home has a staff of four counsellors and a full - .time and a part-time night staff. This is the first group home for Wingham. .00 Now ‘6' Woddng ��overace . , 't Policy in the interest of utilizing space to the maximum, Clinton News -Record will introduce a • change in wedding policy effective JANUARY 1, 1983 While we appreciate the news value of weddings. it will be necessary to abbreviate them as much as possible.
