Chimney fires
concern chief
Chimney fires connected
with the new surge in
popularity of wood -burning
stoves and furnaces are
proving a source of concern
to Fire Chief Dave Crothers.
Firemen were called out to
three such fires during the
past week, and the chief
noted that in many cases the
problem is created by im-
proper use of the stoves,
allowing soot and creosote to
build up in pipes and
chimneys.
Especially in 'airtight
stoves, fires should not be
chgi ed down too low, he
advised. Instead they should
be allowed to burn hot for at
least part of the time to
warm the chimney and cut
down on deposits. This is
particularly important right
after a fire is started and
when a pew load of wood is
added.
Chimneys of all descrip-
tions — tile -lined brick,
concrete block and pre-
fabricated metal — are
susceptible to chimney fires,
he added.
Firemen answered an
alarm Monday night at the
home of G. Lidstone on
Minnie Street, , Wingham,
where the pipe from a wood -
burning stove to the chimney
had caught fire. It was ex-
tinguished without damage
to the home. °
Earlier, in the day they
responded to an alarm at the
William Thompson
residence in Turnberry
Township, Con: 8,' Lot 13.
There an overheated furnace
pipe started a fire in a wall
and caused.. about • $100
damage to the wall and sill.
The quick response by the
fire department prevented a
much more serious blaze.
On Sunday the firemen
were called to a chimney fire
at the Brian Brebner
•residence on Con. 8 of
Turnberry Township. The
fire was in a chimney con-
nected to a combination
wood -oil furnace. There was
no damage to the house. '
rMRS. GEORGE BROWN
AILEEN UNDERWOOD, a Grade 12 steident at F. E. Madill Secondary School,
received a cash prize from Russell 2urbrigg after she won the Vlingham Lions°
effective speaking contest last week. Miss Underwood competed against six other
high school students to advance to the regional competition, which will be held
sometime in March.

Seniors
Day Centre News
By Rita Rice
The number of people
attending the centre seemed
to' increase last week,.as we
got 'a taste of, spring-like.
weather. Activities at the
centre were quite varied.
The'Tneaday group had the
chance to see the
promotional film, 'Black
Creek Pioneer Village'..
On Thursday 'Casey'
Casemore was in again to
show his film on glaucoma.
The film is very up-te-date,
explains this eye disease and
gets across the message of
having eye pressure checked
regularly. The film is ex-
cellent and should be seen by.
everyone.
Our dedicated volunteer
George Grigg celebrated a
birthday at the centre last
week. We were going to
present him with an all -
expense -paid holiday to the
destination of his choice, but
since it is the thought that
counts, we settled on a card
signed by all the Wednesday
seniors.
The next foot clinic
sponsored by the health unit
will be held Wednesday,
March 18, at 1 p.m. The
health unit holds the clinics
here ..and remember, they
are not only open to seniors
attending the centre.
On March 19 the provincial
election polling station will
be in• Armouries. We will
hal,e to cancel that day and
may be choosing an alter-
native Friday, Many home-
bound seniors will need rides
to the polls, so bear that in
mind when you drive to. vote.
Doug McEachern from the
Wingham district office of
the Ministry of Natural
Resources will be our guest
speaker next Tuesday at 1
p.m. He will be speaking qn
the role of the ministry in the
community. All interested
persons are invited to attend.
Next Monday a recreation
leadership student . from
Conestoga College, Kit-
chener, will, be starting a
student placement here at
the centre. As part of the
course requirement, each
student goes out into a field
setting to obtain some
practical experience. Her
name is Laura Holton . and
she is interested in a career
in recreation for senior
citizens. We hope the ex-
perience here will be of great
benefit.
We finished our acrylic -
painted jars this past week
and found some very
talented painters among us.
The wood craft key holders
are taking shape as well.
The seedlings we started in
our portable greenhouse are
a little dull looking these
days. We are going to plant
some more and make sure
the new crop gets 24-hour
light.
We are asking for various
cracked bowls, old dishes,
ornaments, etc. you may
want to dispose of. We want
to begin making dish gar-
dens very soon and need
more containers. If you have
cracked dishes that would be
suitable, give us a call at 357-
1440 of. drop into the
Armouries anytime from
Monday to Friday.
We can always use more
volunteer. drivers. If you
have an interest, the vehicle
and the time, give us a call,

s year, the theme - of

Itaajirice. 'The balance be-
tween feed intake and.
energy -expenditure is em-
phasized.
Nutrition Canada and
other studies have shown
that being overweight is an
ever-present health pro-
blem, occurring in both
sexes- and at all ages. An
overweight condition is not
caused solely by over -eating.
Fven an individual with a
normal food intake could be
overweight if his level of
physical activity is
relatively low.- Thus, healthy
eating habits should be
coupled with adequate
physical activity to avoid
weight gain.
Would you like to lose
weight, but you're afraid
exercising will make you
hungrier? Don't worry. A
moderate amount of regular
exercise actually helps con-
trol the appetite, par-
ticularly among the over-
weight, and will help use up
some of the excess energy
you have stored as body fat.
It also can help release
tension or stress which often
makes you head straight for
the fridge.
