Keeping resolutions helps improve lifestyles that build up instead of tear down health. Keeping resolutions means better care of oneself and others, through preven- tative holistic medicine. " Some resolutions you may consider are..., 1. DON'T SMOKE. Smokers have a 14 times greater risk of dying from lung cancer than non-smokers, and a 70 per cent higher death' rate from coronary heart disease. Smoking is considered the chief preventable cause of death in Canada. Smokers' death rates from chronic bronchitis and emphysema are up to 25 times greater than non-smokers.

Smokers have an increased risk of cancers of the bladder and pancreas. To date, more than two million Canadians have stopped smoking. For tl, Ose needing help, do -it- yourself booklets are available from the Hdfon-Perth Lung Association by calling 1-271-7500. A 44 -page booklet is also available from the Ontario Heart and Stroke Foundation by calling 524-4440. 2. DON'T mix drinking with driving. In Canada well over 300 people are killed each year in alcohol related traffic accidents. As many as one in eight drivers on the road is impaired by alcohol. Every day in Ontario, alcohol is involved in the deaths of two peo- ple and in 81 motor crashes. Drinking and driving has been considered socially accep- table in the past, but there are indications that this is changing. It is no longer a disgrace to call a cab or ask someone to drive you home if you've had one too many. Bars are taking greater responsibility for their patrons and more people are following the motto, "Friends don't let friends drive drunk." The law is also talring a tougher stand on drinking, and driving. Charges now see an impaired driver lose his -her license for up to a year on a first offence. 3. AVOID obesity, but avoid fad diets. Get- ting rid of excess poundage is worthwhile because obesity increases the risk or severi- ty of many medical problems, including heart disease; high blood pressure, diabetes and arthritis. 4. EXERCISE regularly, but cautiously. Consult a physician before starting an exer- cise program, especially if you are middle- aged or older or if you have any of the major risk factors for heart disease. Exercise has become an important part of the social - recreational life of the '80s. ,Locally; pro- grams offer a variety of excellent programs from martial arts classes. to bowling, bad- minton to weightlighting, aerobic exercise classes to swimming, shuffleboard to skating. 5. DRINK alcohol in moderation. Long- term, excessive use of alcohol is harmful. If you do drink, do so with responsibility. If you've had more than one or two drinks, both your judgement and your co-ordination are affected. If you or someone you know has a drinking problem, .Alcoholics Anonymous (AA )' is there to help-. As of 1984, AA had 2,000,000 registered members in 114 countries. 1111985 AA„aplebrated 50 years of `Yielprfig dtl5•erglitid14 rogran'r°s strength" continues to grow. For more information. about the local chapter of Alcoholics Anonymous call 524-6001 or write Box 101, Clinton. 6. HAVE your blood pressure checked. High blood pressure has no symptoms, which is. why it's called the silent killer. High blood pressure increases the risk of strokes, heart attacks and kidney failure. There is evidence that effective treatnient of high blood pressure reduces these risks. Free blood pressure clinics are frequently held in the area. Be sure to take advantage of these opportunities to help keep you healthy. 7. WEAR seat belts. Females buckle up more than males, and older drivers and passengers more than the younger, accor- ding to a seat belt survey conducted by the Ministry of Transportation and Com- munications. The survey indicated that driver seat belt .usage in Ontario has in- creased 10 per cent since 1981. Research has indicated that the use of seat belts saves lives and reduces the severity of injuries. 8. KEEP a smoke detector athome and be sure it's operational. Canada has the worst record in the industrialized world for fire- related deaths'. Half the fires in Canada oc- cur in the home and those fires account for 90 'per cent of fatalities. Every year, 8,000 A cheque for $4,553 was presented to the Day Centre Song Birds of Clinton by MP Murray Cardiff on December 23. The newly formed group, located in the Huron Day Centre for the Homebound, will use the money to start a musical group and a simple book binding operation which will allow them to cover and bind their song books and reading material. The group has already purchased a piano. Accepting the etieilue on behalf of the group are (left), Bob Groves, secretary; Rosemary Armstrong, co-orrdnator; Muriel .(ones, president; and (farright) Robert Thompson, treasurer. ( Anne Narejko photo Lodge contributes to Rose Bowl Parade CLINTON - Although Clinton is a long way from Pasadena, California, the members of the Oddfellows and Rebekah Lodge here can take pride in contributing to one particular float at the famed Rose Bowl • Parade in that city. This year, the Oddfellows and Rebekah Lodge members from Clinton have again donated money towards the lodge's float, entry into the Rose Bowl Parade. They have been donating for over 10 rears, said 20 -year member Doug Cantelon. .

"You can certainly imagine it would be quite an expense (to contruct a float)," says Mr. Cantelon. "Probably in the'thousands of, dollars." This year's version of the Oddfellows- Rebekah float will be a tribute to the North American Indian using the nursery rhyme "Ten Little Indian Boys" as the theme. The ten little dancers to ride on the float will be chosen from various Indian tribes across North America.
