EfltSa
signs of head lice
School will be starting soon and
the Iluron County Health Unit is
alerting .all parents to the signs of
head lice and hOw to take action
against them.
Head lice are tiny parasites that
feed. on human blood, just like
mosquitoes. Unlike mosquitoes,
however, head lice live on the scalp.
Head scratching and intense itching
of the scalp are the main signs of
head lice.
These tiny creatures can be found
by looking closely at the hair and
scalp. Look for tiny, grayish crawl-
ing bugs and for tiny whitish oval
eggs (nits) sticking to the hair.
Head lice travel from one person
to another by direct personal con-
tact and by personal items such as
combsand brushes, hats, scarves
and coats. They do not spread dis-
ease, but can spread rapidly
throughout a community if preven-
tive measures are not taken as soon
as the lice or their eggs have been
found.
Although an annoying problem,
head lice infestations should not
trigger alarm ® just immediate
action. In most cases, all that is
needed is the use of an anti -lice
shampoo or cream rinse. These are
Itis your licence to thrills. Just look for our low summer prices

After using .this shampoo or
cream -rinse, ail eggs should be
removed and the hair of all those in
the home looked at for lice and ;iit4.
If lice are found, they too must use
the anti -lice shampoo or cream
rinse.
In addition, all combs and brush-
es, clothing; bedding and uphol-
stery should be cleaned and disin-
fected.
A lice infestation can happen to
anyone. It does- not mean a lack of
personal cleanliness. Infestations
usually occur when people fail to
take immediate action. If lice are
found and proper treatment started
immediately, the problem can be
quickly and easily remedied.
For further information on lice
detection and prevention, contact
the Huron County Health Unit.
Remember, lice are actually easier
to control than common dandruff.
Unlike dandruff. once head lice is
successfully treated, that is usually
the end of the problem. But the
presence of head lice does require
immediate attention and action.
Potential furnace
and chimeny
hazards
"Furnace and chimney inspec-
tions should be hot items at this
time of the year," says Bob Clend-
ing of the Ontario Consun ex Min—
istry. e
Don't wait until it's time to turn
the furnace back on. Home heating
systems need to be thoroughly
checked at least once a year. People
cart be seriously hurt, even killed, if
something goes wrong."
Qualified home heating contrac-
tors can check for•potential hazards
caused by malfunctioning furnaces
and inadequate fresh air supplies.
Possible problems include block-
age of the chimney, corrosion or
deterioration inside the furnace.
Improper combustion in gas or
oil -fired heating equipment can
cause poisonous carbon mon'okide
gas to be released into the house.
Carbon monoxide is a clear, col-
orleek"o'dorless gas'. -' ymptonts of
poisoning include nausea, dizzi-
ness, fatigue and headaches. Expo-
sure to large dosages can be fatal.
Shop around for a reputable com-
pany and reasonable rates when
arranging the service call says Mar-
ilyn Gurevsky, a consumer advisor
&with the ministry.
"Since most people wait until tit._
last minute to call for the service,
some contractors may be offering
bargains right now to attract cus-
tomers before the rush starts," she
says.
Check all credentials carefully
and le:Te heating contractor certified
by the Ontario government.
Additional information about
home heating systems is availalbe
from many fuel suppliers.
Corn festival
is at Milton
Corn lovers are in for a treat at
the Ontario Agricultural Museum's
ninth annual Family Corn festival
this Sunday, Aug. 20, from 10 a.m.
to 5 p.m. It is guaranteed that visi-
tors will be up to their "ears" in
fresh Ontario corn.
This popular event offers the
opportunity to feast on locally -
grown corn -on -the -cob in an his-
toric, rural setting. Thousands of
cobs will be steam -cooked in their
husks using a 1929 Sawyer -Massey
engine.
While savoring this seasonal
treat, the whole family can enjoy
musical entertainment or round up
a partner for a square dance with
Milton's own 'Scotch Block
SI.I
isitors can explore over 30
buildings and displays and watch
shingle -making and an old-time
threshing bee. Costumed inter-
preters will demonstrate various
activities involving corn. As well,
this year's feature exhibit, "No
Labor, No Bread", traces the evolu-
tion of grain harvesting in Ontario.
In conjunction with 'Kldsuaamer
'89", the museum welcomes chil-
dren under 10 to this event free of
charge when accompanied by an
adult.
More than a museum and more
than a farm, the Ontario Agricultur-
al Museum is an adventure for the
whole family. This 32 -hectare, out-
door site is open daily from 10 a.m.
to 5 p.m. To reach the museum,
located just west of Milton, take
Highway 401 to Exit 320 or 312 and
follow the signs.
Almost without exception,
today's households own automo-
biles (94 per cent of households
have at least one). Back in 1937-38,
only 29 per cent of families owned
a car.
