Through the use of the Lung Association's "Biomonitoring Program", students utilize biofeedback equipment to demonstrate im- mediate changes. in the carbon monoxide level, heart rate, hand tremor and skin temperature caused by cigarette smoking. Says Marybelle Ford of the Lung Associa- tion of Huron Perth, "We believe that infor- mation about the immediate harm from smoking will be more impressive to young people than information about illness that may occur many years in the future '.

Set up in three sections, the first section con- tains conference proceedings and a brief history of the organization and planning for the conference. This section also includes a list of the 230 participants and workshop leaders. A second section on the 19 workshops presented at the conference offers an educa- tional resource tool with sufficient details that rural women may duplicate them in their local areas.
