'It tells you whether you have good lung
capacity. If you smoke, you lose lung
capacity but if you exercise you can in-
crease your lung capacity but even if you
don't smoke and don't exercise, you can
still lose lung capacity," explained Eileen
Beauchemin, a member of the Lung
Association.
A roulette_ wheel at the Huron County
chapter off the Heart and Stroke Founda-
tion of Ontario was kept spinning by per-
sons who wanted to learn more about the
heart.
Informative. questions, located on the
wheel, had to be answered by persons who
spun thelwheel. If an incorrect answer
was given, an information pamphlet con-
erning that particular topic was given to
the person.
A computer nutrition analysis offered by
the Huron County Health Unit studied a
person's food intake for one day and told
how nutritious the diet was based on age,
sex, height and weight.
"It's not meant as a final answer but it
does tell you how you are doing in terms of
nutrient needs and what the Canada Food
Guide recommends," Cathy Thomson, a
nutritionist with the Health Unit, said.
Other displays by the various groups in-
cluded blood pressure and temperature
readings, X-ray displays, using walkers,
crutches and canes, how much damage
one cigarette does to your lungs, types of
dental problems, cardiopulmanary
resuscitation demonstrations, and various
types of sight problems.
The target group for the Health Fairs
were adolescents from Grades 5 to 13,
although everyone was invited to attend
the displays, said Gilbert. Elementary
school students from Goderich, Lucknow
and Holrnesville were invited to the Health
Fair.
"We hope to hold the Health Fairs every
two or three years in order to hit new
students of the same age group," Gilbert
said.
The four previous fairs, held in Seaforth,
Wingham, Exeter and Clinton, attracted a
total of 4,000 people.

Federated
Institutes
discuss
free trade
"How will free trade affect farm and rural '
families?" This was the theme of a seminar
organized by Federated Women's Institutes
of Ontario (FWIO) at Holiday Inn, Guelph
on November 4, 1986.
Representatives from agricultural
organizations, in the province had the oppor-
tunity to learn, participate and discuss an
issue of majer concern to the rural
community.
Seminar Chairman, Mrs. Ruth Grose,
FWIO Agriculture Convener, introduced the
theme speaker, Dr. Larry Martin, Chair-
man, Department of Agricultural
Economics, University of Guelph. Dr. Mar-
tin preferred the question to read, "How will
freer trade affect farm and rural families?"
Do we know what we are negotiating? The
objectives do not seem very clear with little
analysis regarding potential impacts or
possible outcomes having been done by
either side. Should Canada be negotiating
through GATT rather than free trade with
the United States?
"In Our Opinion" presentations were
given by Ontario commodity boards - Corn
Producers, Soybean Growers, Pork Pro-
ducers, Milk Marketing, ,Cattlemen's
Association, Wheat Producers, Egg Pro-
ducers and the Grape Growers.
These commodity groups expressed will-
ingness for negotiations on fair and freer
trade so goods and commodities could move
without restrictions. Freer trade will have
different impacts on Canadian farmers and
families. There will be some gainers and
some losers. They also want a "level play-
ing field" on all products but would not want
supply management used as a trade off.
With Mrs. Peggy Knapp as moderator, a
five member panel discussion was held.
Panel members included representatives
from commodity board.
It is a myth that the business of
agriculture is going down the drain. Panel
messages were strong and full of hope.
Negotiators must work for all and handle
free trade talks so as to protect products of
Ontario and Canada. All levels of govern-
ment, commodity groups, corporations and
producers are having to learn about this
complex situation.
Everyone entered into the discussion as
ten groups addressed statements related to
free trade.
The day's activities were summed up by
Mrs. Charlotte Johnson, President
Federated Women's Institutes of Ontario.
Mrs. Johnson challenged those present to,,
"table talk" and group disbuss the topic to
create a better understanding and dispel
any atmosphere of uncertainty.
