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.

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.

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.
