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.

Discipline should begin in the home,' and parents should support the teachers whenever possible. Mr. Robertson commented on the answers given to the roll call and replied to questions. In response to a question about the real needs in today's educational system, he said we need good politicians. The group also heard that the number of family break- -ups has a devastating effect on ,the children. Many couples de not try to com- municate. A child needs to live wit ire a 'strong fainily bond, with love and respect. Only • with love can you see the good around you. Home - and school must work and communicate together, he said.'If a child needs correction, the parents are notified. He also said the pornography found in news- papers, magazines and on television has a devastating effect on youth of today. Speaking of the elective system introduced at Howick Central, he said each student can choose something which is of particular interest and such classes are included periodically in the curri- culum. They can include music, needlework and mechanics. Ladies in attendance from Gorrie, Lakelet and Tees - water were welcomed by the president, Mrs. Doris Hays.

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, 357-1440. ' Iivirition *eine iso b® 'enemy balance s year, the theme - of NWitten Week is energy 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. Obtain a copy of Canada's Food Guide from your local agricultural office or Public Health Department.
