Admission is $3.75 for adults, $2.75 for ages 6-15, and children under 6 are admitted free. "Be bike smart" aimed at cyclists Canada has eight million cyclists and more than three -million are children. The largest numbers of deaths and injuries through cycling accidents occur in children five to 14 years of age. in response to the success of The Easter Seal Society's, On- tario program, 'Be bike smart' is being launched on a national level by the Cana- dian Rehabilitation Council for the Disabled (CRCD 1 and sponsored by The Hospital for Sick Children Foundation to reduce the number of disabling and fatal bicycling accidents. A study conducted by the Canadian Acci- dent Injury Reporting and Evaluation t CAIRE 1 project, .January '82 - December '85, encompassed five major hospitals across Canada and reported 8,669 accidents involving bicycles -- 3,229 of those accidents were head injuries. Because of reporting procedures, there is a suspected under estimate of accidents with minimal injuries to young cyclists. So it is safe to say that cycling injuries are a ma- jor problem and with the increase in the number of families participating in the sport, the number of accidents will increase comparably. The advantages of cycling as a physical activity greatly outweigh the risks. The number of accidents can be reduced through education. Children can learn the proper use and care of their bicycles and the impor- tance of wearing protective gear. The 'Be bike smart' pamphlet, available in French and English. is designed to help families teach their children to understand the importance of bicycle safety and in- cludes information on reducing the number of injuries through education. Learning bicycling maturity is a family reponsibility and should be taken seriously.

CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, WEDNESDAY, JULY 22, 1987—Page 17 First aid or heat stroke The wonderful sun is wh1 uguner fun is all about, but too much sip ca arm you. Take these simple precautions to avoid heat exhaustion and heat stroke. 1 Wear hats and light colored long-sleeved shirts if you're going to be in the sun for a long time, sitting in a boat fishing or out on the golf course. Use modern sunscreens to ward off sunburn. You and your young children can avoid heat exhaustion by taking it easy during the hottest part of the day. Don't play tennis or bike hike: Sit down in the shade for a while and sip a cool drink. Have a rest after lunch. The symptoms of heat exhaustion may be muscular cramps, headaches, palor, fain- ting, a weak pulse and rapid, shallow breathing. Get the victim into a cool place and if he's Conscious, give him cool water to sip. If he's sweating or vomiting or has cramps or diarrhea, add a half teaspoon of salt to a pint of water. If he loses con- sciousness, or recovers slowly, get him to a doctor. Heat stroke is less common and much more serious. Its symptoms include flushed face and dry skin, high temperature, noisy breathing, headache, dizziness, un- consciousness. A youngster may have convulsions. The first aid treatment is to remove the victim's clothing, wrap him in a cool wet sheet, or put him in a cool bath to reduce the temperature as quickly as possible. When it is reduced to 38 degrees C (101 degrees F ), he should be placed on his side in the recovery position with fans directing cool air on him. When his temperature is near normal, cover him with a dry sheet. If his temperature drops and then rises again, repeat the treatment. The victim must get to a hospital, but he might die if there is delay in lowering his temperature. Bee, wasp stings can be fatal Bee and wasp stings can be fatal. If the victim shows signs of allergic reaction (swelling around the eyes and mouth, hives, severe nausea and difficulty in breathing) seek medical aid immediately. Start ar- tificial respiration if necessary and take precautions to prevent shock ( reassure vic- tim, keep warm). If there is no allergic reaction to the sting, remove the stinger by using tweezers. Remove the stinger by depressing the skin around the puncture. Avoid squeezing it. An- tihistamine creams, rubbing alcohol, a weak amonia solution or a solution of bicar- bonate of soda may be applied immediately. If the sting is in the mouth, give a "THRIFTY FIFTIES DAZE" SUPER SIDEWALK SALE IN DOWNTOWN CLINTON July 30 - 31 - Aug. 1 COMPLETE DETAILS IN THE PAPER NEXT WEEK mouthwash of one teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda to a glass of water.
