The Wingham Advance -Times, August 10, 97'1 Hospital personnel sharpen up on skills A few Wingham and District Hospital personnel have been sharpening up their skills in the way of patient care. Twelve nur- ses and ambulance attendants have successfully completed a cardio pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) course. In layfnan terms, CPR means that when a patient's heart stops beating, chest compression and mouth to mouth resuscitation be- gins in an attempt to revive him or her. Compression attemps to get the heart pumping and mouth to mouth resuscitation is done to get oxygen ,into the system, cardio — heart and pulmonary — lungs. The course is administered by the Ontario Heart Foundation and Winaham's Director of Nurs- ing, Bill Jeffrey set the program up at Wingham. The program has ge two main levels. The first level is the basic res- cuer course where the stand and siuiis of CPR arc studied, the one day course.. A student must show competence in the theoryas well as the practical. 1f this is successfully completed, an instructors' course can be taken. Four members of the Wingpaid staff have chosen to take the sec- ond course. Upon completion they will receive a certificate al- lowing them to go into the com– munity and other hospitals to teach CPR. They are retested yearly.._ The Heart Foundation is not teaching this course all the time so when the instructor's course is taught in Wingham Aug. 22 and. 23, there will .be hospital person- nel from Walkerton, Guelph, To- ronto and Stratford present also. Flower Lady Continued from Page 10 Mrs. .English\should know what she is talking about. Arthritis has not stopped her from doing what she wants. "Everytime I go out to collect` things from nature," she says, "1 improve my health." Nor did fancily obligations interfere with her goal'. "When I am scrubbing a floor (which oddly enough she loves to do), I'm not really ;'scrubbing," she says. "My. mind is somewhere else, cresting. It's the same with all mouse work." "Artists I have studied, have enriched my life so much. All I need is my family, my . books, music and art. I found this out very young when nursing my mother through a lengthy ill- ness," she says. Mrs. English knows more about flowers than creating arrangements with them. "The rose hip makes a beautiful jam and geranium leaves go in jelly for flavor. The seed of nastur- tiums, wrapped in anchovies are hors d'oeuvres. A potpourri off dried flower petals can be used for scenting laundry containers and drawers. Cedar branches in chairs and the chesterfield will fill the house with the aroma of' outdoors at Christmas." These were a few of her household hints, using flowers as the ba:;e. Mrs. English taught flower arranging and drying privately in' her Toronto home. When she came to Wingham she taught an adult night coyrse at the high school. "My class was filled," she says proudly. She • had to stop teaching when obligations at her, shop increased. Mrs. English feels there is another strong element in her life, and that is her belief in God. "I work. with Him every day in my shop," she says, "when I am working with the things that nature has grown outdoors. I found myself in nature really." "A lot of agnostics will think this is a lot of BS, but as I get older, I realize it more and more. This is not all there is," she says. "I don't care what people say. I only live my way. I must live my way." Shortly after she was married Mrs. English offered to decorate her church with flowers. She has often offered her creative ability to others. "It's a gift, I can't claim it," she,,says of her talent. "What we have received, we must pass on: we do owe something to the world for being here." When she arrived in Wingham, Mrs. English went fo the hospital and offered volunteer services. The . hospital is 'now nearly completed with cheery curtail* and flower murals on the was, all designed and color co-ordin- ated. by Mrs. English. Another hospital Mit. English had a hand in cheering was the. Princess Margaret Hospital for cancer:patients in Toronto. More than anything, Mrs. English believes "we must be our brother's keeper". One of her ways in keeping with that is by using her talents to bring happi- ness to others. It was a feeling of accomplish- ment when Mrs. English realized that people carne to see what she had created. Her •work 'icor travelled to Inuvik, Nova Scotia,. Georgia,, England, Africa and Saskatchewan _ "Money isn't the goal in this. It's seeing two, people in the shop, her holding' her. wedding bouquet and hinr•+watching with love. ft's knowing I've made that, day a little happier for them," she says. Perhaps oneof the reasons. Mrs. English seems freshly en- amored with life is a recent brush with death. As a bookmark pinned to her kitchen calendar ays, "life. Renewed". Food poisoning and medication to which she was allergic put her in bed for seven weeks. But she has bounced back with, it seems, more energy than. before. At an age when. a lot of women are wondering just what to do, with their lives, the Flower Lady is doing. SPOOKY CHAPEL --The Czechs call it the spooky chapel a museum of human bones arranged in various shapes the village of Sedlec 68 kilometers (42 miles) east Prague, It is not for the squeamish, but has become a popular tourist attraction nevertheless, attracting visitors from around the world. The human skulls and bones are arranged in the form of bells, crowns, chandeliers, pyramids and other shapes, the work of a monk with a macabre sense of artistry. The photos here show a chandelier on the left, and on the right the crest of the in of Schwarzenberks, a famous family of old-time Bohemia, the western third of Czechoslovakia. A frieze along the ceiling of the chapel crypt is a row of skulls staring down at visitors, and the entrance is arched 'with skulls. The chapel was founded in the 14th century after the Black Death, the bubonic plague that swept through Europe and killed off a quarter of the continent's population. Sedlec is a suburb of Kutna Hora, once famous for its silver mines a'nd the site of one of the finest cathedrals (St. Barbara's) in Europe. 1 4 1 3 0 3 g 3 Y 0 b y J s 1
