Sincerely dill and LiI Longhand Ontario, were announced recently by the Ontario Arts Council. On the list it's nice to see a Goderich name.

Mr. Darnbrough has already taught a two week art course at Victoria Public School in Goderich. ++ A fourth year Engineering student at the University of Western Ontario has developed a simple device for monitoring a sleeping baby's breathing aimed at reducing the incidence of crib death. Once motion in the crib ceases' for a period of 15 seconds, the device works so that an alarm is sounded., It's not uncommon for sleeping babies to stop breathing for a few seconds. The name for this pause is apnea. Usually respiration resumes normally on its own but researchers $ 350,000 As ,the thermometer shows, the Goderich Per- forming Arts Foundation has received ,over $12,000 .in pledges and donationssintp the official campaign kick-off on February 13. To avoid demolition of the former Poll'cy's 'Livery Stable, which the Foundation plans to turn into a cultural centre, $50,000 mist be raised by March 20. Please read Tid Bits for further details. speculate that crib degth or Sudden Infant Syn- drome may be a result of the infant's failure to resume breathing. This is only theory, explains Peter Komorowski, inventor of the Apnea Restoration Monitor, since no one has ever witnessed a crib death. At the moment doctors are baffled by crib' death. No one knows why it happens and new theories are proposed regularly. Each year in Canada 1,000 deaths of 'babies aged between one month and one year are at- tributed to - this mysterious killer. Most babies can be roused from an apneic spell .with vigorous shaking although in some cases resuscitation is called for. Some babies are known to be prone to these seizures and would likely be the first users of ,the device invented by .Komorowski. The monitor device „cost him $80 to build and he estimates it could be manuafactured and sold for $100 to $120. More sophisticated devices now exist which work' on different principles and cost from $500 to $2,500. +++ Don't fall for ex- travagant claims when ordering garden products by mail, Frank Drea, minister 'of Consumer and. ''Commercial Relations, recently warned. "Consumers order the'se' products,at this time of year expecting they'll produce 100 -pound watermelons or yard - long cucumbers," said Drea. "But be. realistic. They're not going to grow that large in Ontario." Drea said xha t a lthough . the ministry has taken action against mail-order nursery product com- panies inthe past, the best solution is,oto avoid being taken-, ' in by exaggerated advertising claims. Make sure ad- vertisements state whether there's a money- back guarantee and how long delivery will take, the minister advises. Because some com- panies are slow in orders, consumers should plan well in advance so they don't miss planting time, he said. Rip-offs can .also be avoided by checking the firm's reputation with the Better Business Bureau and comparison shopping at local gardening cen- tres. For, an information sheet about wise mail- order .,shopping, contact the Consumer Infor- mation Centre, 555 Yonge Street, Toronto M7A 2H6. +++ Good news for country music fans.
