(Exeter Times -Advocate photo) Day without cigarettes causes problems Moderate and heavy smokers exhibit a number of physiological and behavioral changes after one day without cigarettes. So say Addiction Research Foundation researchers Richard Gilbert, PhD, and Marilyn Pope (The Journal, August, 1982). The study was published recently in Psychopharmacology (1982, v78: 121-127). The team undertook the research to increase the "sparse information" available on the changes that occur on the first day that the dedicated smoker does without tobacco. Each subject in the study — which involved 10 men and nine women -- smoked at least 20 cigarettes per day and had no intention of quitting. For the experiment, each subject spent one supervised 24-hour period without smok- ing and another supervised period with access to cigarettes. During both days, each subject underwent 25 "probes", one every 30 minutes from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Each probe consisted of measuring pulse, skin temperature, and hand Leisure Life...

The subjects' food and alcohol intake was also carefully monitored on both days. The researchers found that finger temperature was on average more than 1 degree C. higher on the non- smoking day (implying bet- ter circulation, they note), while the pulse averaged at least five beats less per minute, implying less stress on the cardiovascular system. At the end of the non-smoking day the average rate was 64 b/p/m/ compared to 74 b/p/m/ at the end of the smoking day. Average hand -tremor was also significantly less on the non-smoking day. On the negative side, sub- jects' calorie intake jumped by 10 percent on the non- smoking day, with the sub- jects actually eating less during meals but more in the way of snacks. Men's calorie intake from snacks rose 50 percent and women's jumped 94 percent. There was, however, no evidence of any increased inclination to eat sweets on the non- smoking day. The "craving index", in- dicating how much the sub- jects wanted a cigarette, rose steadily during the course of the non-smoking day, jumping with each meal and peaking in the evening at about "70" — indicating a fairly intense desire for a cigarette. When the subjects were finally allowed to have a cigarette, at the end of the non-smoking day, only four of the 19 described it as "pleasant". Six described the first cigarette as "unpleasant" and many felt dizzy or light-headed from the cigarette. "Females seemed to find their first cigarette after abstinence to be less agreeable than males (did). "Quitting brings about profound changes in a smoker's physiology and behavior, even during the first day. Anticipation of these changed could help would-be quitters and those who advise them," they con- clude. Your Lung Association is ready to help smokers become non-smokers.

Pillow Check Smoldering cigarette stubs have a habit of rolling behind sofa and chair pillows and cushions, hiding until everyone is asleep. Then they erupt into fast-moving flames that put life in danger. To break that baa habit, check upholstered fur- niture for still burning cigarette stdbs before retir- ing, says the Ontario Safety League, especially if you have had guests. A Blast Do-it-yourself dry- cleaning is dangerous, states the Ontario Safety League. Spot cleaning clothes with agents such as gasoline before putting them in the washer may be setting the stage for a violent explosion. Even when rinsed thoroughly before washing the clothes can release enough fumes to reach the machine's motor, triggering a blast. Tourism is a billion Industry in Soath- wQstQrn Ontario He shoots! He scores! Hockey? No, trap shooting. The "pop" of shotgun shells filled the air at the Kippen Gun Club on August 28 as more than 50 trap shooting enthusiasts vied for a number of trophies and prizes at the club's third an- nual Kyle -Cooper Memorial Shoot. The club was established in 1948 by Bill Kyle, Bill Cooper, Lloyd Venner, John Anderson and Pat Venner on seven acres of land offered by Kyle from his farm on Highway 4 a mile south of Kippen. After Kyle's death his family allowed the ar- rangement to continue. Kyle's grandson Jamie Caldwell is one of the club's mainstays. He and his friend Dan Crerar are usually to be found marking scores, firing off birds, or performing some of the myriad essential tasks necessary for a smooth -running regular of special shoot. The clubhouse, formerly headquarters of the Hensall Lawn Bowling Club, was purchased in 1950 for $100 and moved with a police Cl hF,fs re escort to its present site for a furth expenditure of $25. The membership roster soon grew from an initial 17 to a peak of more than 50, and has now settled down to a steady 40. For many years shooters bought member- ships in the social club, local merchants donated prizes for the shoots, and more money was raised at events such as dances. The club now owns one $3,000 trap and rents another. As it has reverted to private ownership, no membership fee is required. Anyone may drop in for an evening of trap shooting on a Tuesday night, and the only cost is $2.50 for 25 clay birds. This charge offsets the costs of targets, hydro and the in- escapable taxes. The regular Tuesday night shoot draws about 20 people each time, who come from as far afield as Goderich, Guelph and London to.the on- ly trap -shooting club closer than Fullerton's or Londesborough's. Jack Mills, from Guelph, whose job selling wholesale auto parts brings him into this area every Tuesday, tie shoots regularly at Kippen. Although he belongs to clubs in Galt, and Guelph, his favorite is the Kippen club. "It's one of the best I've ever shot at, and is the friendliest club I know of. It has a complete range of ages, all the way from 16 to the 70s, and some ladies", Mills enthused. Two of the regular lady shooters are Gladys McGregor and Linda Crerar. At first Gladys came to be with husband Grant. She soon became bored with be- ing a spectator, and started shooting two years ago. When the petite competitor ( who is not much taller than some of the shotguns) was asked what appeal trap shooting held for her, Gladys replied "It's a way of relax- ing with a lot of nice people", adding that before she started shooting she hated guns. She no longer fears them, but has developed a healthy respect for them. As her skill constantly im- proves Gladys is providing some healthy rivalry for her husband and other male Ramblings from the Races... • from page 13; of Kirkton.

"She's giving some of us older ones trouble," longtime member John Anderson remarked as he watched Gladys shatter one target after another. Linda Crerar had never handled a gun until three years ago. She came at first to accompany her husband Dan and then decided, like Gladys, that you con't beat them unless you join them. On regular nights each shooter has 25 shots altogether taken in fives from five different stations. At the word "pull" a bird is released from the trap house 16 yards ahead. The caller has no idea whether the target will sail out to the right, the left or straight ahead. All hope to blow the bird to smithereens in a puff of smoke, but as long as a piece of clay is knocked off the shooter scores. The Memorial Shoot was inaugurated by Venner as a tribute to two now deceased founding members of the club. The sport obviously ap- peals to all ages. The bers youngest shooter on Sunday was Kai Wisch, 15, RR 2 Kip - pen, and the oldest Lorne Smith, I from St. Thomas. Another visitor from St. Thomas, Jim Whitchurch, became interested in the sport about five years ago. (His son- has been North American . high school champ for the past two years.) Whitchurch says his two artificial legs have no ef- fect on his score, he was "rotten before, and I'm rot- ten now." The all -day event is a family affair. After all trophies and prizes had been awarded, most stayed on for freshly boiled corn and porkburgers cut fromj10- pound dressed pig that ad been turning on the spit since early morning. Winner of the A trophy was Terry Jordon, St. Thomas, runner-up Norm Harris, London, Calvin Christie, Kirkton, won the B cham- pionship, and Ivan Orr, St. Thomas, was runner-up. Bob Caldwell, Hensall, was C champ, and Jim Miller, Kirkton, runner-up.
