is busy spot this fall
October has been a busy month at the
MACKAY Centre. Shuffleboard is now in full
swing as are the keep fit classes and Happy
Gang Dance Sessions.
The members enjoyed two dances this
month. Cal Callender and his wife, Maxine,
played tapes and records at the October 10th
dance, and Hughie's Trio entertained at the
October 17th dance.
Herb Bridle introduced a full program at
the variety concert on Oct. 22 starting with
the Wheelers and Dealers square dancing
group from Clinton. The Clinton Wheelers
and Dealers delighted the audience with a
demonstration of square and round dancing.
Ron Fleming was the caller and sang such
old favourites as "Danny Boy" and
"Somewhere Over the Rainbow". Ron's
lovely daughter Christa helped out on the
harmonica.
This was followed by Emma Fulker who
introduced some of the talented music
students. Keith Fulker performed a trumpet
solo, Alison Bunter piayeti iL* v;u t'y.�..•
on the piano, Sarah Fulker played the
trombone and Sherri Good did a tap, reel
and clvgg dance. It was a pelasure to see
and hear -these talented young people. Em-
ma Fulker concluded the performance with
a piano medley of songs from the movies.
Herb Bridle then introduced Peter
'Westerhout who gave an interesting slide
presentation of a cruise taken some time
ago. The Westerhout's travelled by car from
Clinton to California, driving through a
variety of landscapes ranging from moun-
tains toildeserts. They boarded a ship in San
Fransisco and set sail for Tahiti, new
Zealand, Australia, Samoa and Hawaii,
returning to the Port of Los Angels. They
then drove back to Clinton stopping off to
visit places of interest on the way such as
the Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, Utah
and Colorado. The variety of countries and
cultures made the presentation very in-
teresting. What a memorable vacation!
June Taylor from the Survival Through
Friendship House in Goderich spoke to the
audience about the facility, explaining how
it is run and financed. The Survival Through
Friendship House is a non-profit organiza-
tion which provides shelter for battered
women and children. At the moment they

funds are for the house and donations are
tax deductible. Don McMillan presented
June with a cheque from the board of the

Heart and Stroke Foundation can-
vassers were given an exciting glimpse in-
to the future direction of research by
car-
diologist Dr. Ramsay Gunton, guest
speaker at' the Huron County chapter's an-
nual appreciation dinner held in Huron -
view on October 22.
Dr. Gunton, who is now based at Lon-
don's University Hospital ( which he
helped to plan) was part of the team
responsible for the evolution of the John P.
Robarts Research Institute (RRI) from
acknowledged need to bricks and mortar
reality.
Gunton explained that the recently com-
pleted London facility acts both literally
and figuratively as a bridge between the
laboratory scientists in the UWO Health
Sciences complex and the clinicians at
University Hospital.
In a brief history of the RRI, Gunton said
research at University .Hospital was so
'successful the allotted space was filled
soon, after the hospital opened in 1972.
Senior staff felt the facilities for neurology
and neur4'surgery 1sbould be expanded.
The death ' of -John Robarts prompted a
decision to ask the province to consider an
additional research institution as a fitting
memorial to the former premier.
A $10,000,000 grant from Ontario and a
later federal contribution of $4,000,000 paid
for the actual building which opened in
September. The Heart Foundation has
committed $1,000,000 to the RRI from
southwestern Ontario over the next, five
years, in addition to money already
designated for other research projects.
The RRI will concentrate on research in-
to coronary heart disease, strokes, circula-
tion and aging, immunology and organ
transplantation.
Scientists will pursue the discovery that
some people have a predisposition to
cholesterol build-up in the blood. The study
of platelets and clot formation is another
avenue to be explored.
Investigation will continue on work with
brain aneurysms Which has already
brought fame to University Hospital. Pa-
tients with ventricular fibrillation will be
assessed at RRI. Using heart valves made
of beef and pork tissue rather than plastic
to ameliorate red blood cell damage and
infection will be a biophysics project.
Gunton showed graphs depicting the pro-
gressive decline in coronary disease and
strokes since the epidemic proportion of
the fifties and sixties.
From 1972 to 1982, incidents of coronary
disease decreased. 27 percent, find strokes
were down a dramatic 40 percent.
Gunton concluded by saying "the work
researchers are doing is having an impact
of reducing death from heart disease and
strokes".
Kathy Thomson of the Huron County
Health Unit accepted certificates of ap-
preciation for herself and partner Deb
Campbell, a lecturer at CCAT, who had
prepared and presented the culinary
hearts program.
Joan Van den Broeck, co-ordinator of the
Huron County .Chapter of the Heart and
Stroke Foundation, noted in her remarks
that the successful pilot project, first tested
in Exeter was accepted for use in Ontario,
and the Canadian Heart Foundation is con-
sidering its implementation across
Canada.
The equally sucessful Heart to Heart
project, a mutual support program for
heart attack victims and their- families,
was also launched first in Exeter.
"Exeter is a wonderful proving ground.
There is so much community support we
have no tgrouble getting good people to
make things work," said Van den Broeck
later.
• Shirley Gilbert from the health unit, was
given a certificate for her work in pro-
moting public awareness of heart health.
