Plan to attend World Day of Prayer
EXETER — Christians
around the world will be
focusing on the country
of Poland during the
annual World Day of
Prayer service. Local res-
idents are invited to join
in this worldwide event
by attending a service at
7 p.m., on March 4, 2005
at Bethel Reformed
Church, Huron Street
East, Exeter.
This year's World Day
of Prayer service, written
by the women of Poland,
reflects on the theme 'Let
Our Light Shine'. The
women of Poland greet
all those participating in
this service by saying,
"Szczesc Boze" which
means, "May God bless
you!"
Poland, with a popula-
tion of 83 million, tries to
balance the influences of
the West and the East.
Since 1989, when Poland
overthrew the communist
regime and became a
democracy, the country
has been transformed
from a centrally run to a
free-market economy.
Most economic advan-
tages benefit the cities,
while many people who
live and work on small
farms in rural areas
remain poor. Women are
especially affected by a
high unemployment rate,
and are increasingly at
risk from traffickers.
POLICE BRIEF
Oen liquor
L BIDD H — A
22 -year-old South Huron
man was charged for dri-
ving with open liquor
when his vehicle was
stopped by an officer on
patrol Jan. 21 at 7:30 p.m.
on Mitchell Line.
A case of Molson beer
products was seized.
Participants attending
the World Day of Prayer
will not only be learning
more about this country
and its unique culture
and heritage, but will
also be joining Christians
in more than 170 coun-
tries around the world
and 2,000 communities
across Canada who will
gather together to pray
and take action in soli-
darity with the people of
Poland.
The World Day of
Prayer has its roots in an
ecumenical day of prayer
organized by women in
Canada and the United
States in 1920. This event
became the international
World Day of Prayer in
1922, and Christians
around world began cele-
brating this event on the
first Friday of March.
In Canada, the World
Day of Prayer is coordi-
nated by the Women's
Inter -Church Council of
Canada. In this communi-
ty, the coordinating
group has representation
from the following
churches: Exeter United,
Pentecostal, Caven
Presbyterian, Bethel
Reformed, Precious
Blood, Christian
Reformed, Trivitt
Anglican, Thames Rd.
Elimville. For more infor-
mation on the services
being held in this com-
munity, please contact

Capsule Comments
by Ernie Miatello
Adverse reactions can occur with any drug.
These reactions for the most part are mild and
can include nausea, diarrhea, feeling faint, skin
rash, and sometimes mental side effects like
depression. We will make you aware of the more common side
effects of any prescription we fill for you. If something occurs later
on during the course of therapy, give us a call. We will do our best
to help.
Smoking was first recognized as a health problem for men in the
1930's when a sharp increase in lung cancer rates was evident.
There was not an increase in the rate for women because fewer
women smoked in those days.
Varicose veins is a common and quite harmless condition where
one or more leg veins become enlarged. There are usually no
noticeable symptoms except they can be a bit unsightly. Treatment
includes surgically removing the veins. Spider bursts are a collection
of small veins right under the skin that dilate in a cluster giving the
skin a blotchy look. Neither of these problems are a risk to normal
health.
Every time you take a medication, read the label first to be sure you
have the right medication. Don't rely on the size, shape or colour to
identify it. Brands of the same drug can change and appearances
may change.
