The group is hosting an education fair/luncheon. It all gets underway at 11 a.m. and wraps up at 5 p.m. There will be a number of displays including tat- ting, quilting, knitting, crochet, cross stitch, embroi- dery and rug hooking. The fair will also feature a healthy lifestyle exhibit, a milk pasteurization display and penny auction sale. Historically, Women's Institutes across Canada have played a significant role in promoting positive change. In Ontario the organization has seen many of its resolutions come to fruition including mandatory stopping for school buses with flashing lights, signs at railway crossings, and the use of easily under- stood labels on food products. The Grand Bend Women's Institute is a strong community support group and regularly donates to various charities. Caven honours group for 105 years of service EXETER — The Caven Presbyterian Church Women (PCW) has recent- ly folded after 105 years of service. In honour of the many women who have been a driving force in the life of the congregation, the church session has arranged for a special ser- vice of worship to be held at Caven Presbyterian Church on Sun., April 17 at 10:30 a.m. A luncheon and time for fellowship will follow. The church is attempting to contact all present and past PCW members (previ- ously known as the Women's Missionary Society or WMS), as well as families of deceased members, to invite them to the service and lun- cheon. Invitations have been sent out by mail. If any- one—a former PCW mem- ber or family member— has not received an invita- tion and would like to attend, please be assured that everyone is welcome. "It has been a daunting task," according to session member Carol Aim Keys, "trying to make contact with everyone. We know we have likely missed some people, and we want to assure anyone with a history at Caven Presbyterian that they are more than welcome to come to this service and the lunch following." The church is also ask- ing that if anyone knows of someone now living outside this area who should be contacted, let them know about this ser- vice or call the church at 235-2784 (e-mail: caven@tcc.on.ca) and leave a message and the church will make the con- tact. Caven Presbyterian is located at 68 Main St., S., Exeter, Ontario. Capsule Comments by Ernie Miatello To reduce the risk of injury from falls in the home, check for medications that may cause drowsiness. Clean up clutter in your home and check for inadequate lighting, slippery floors, loose rugs and raised thresholds. If you have a problem with excess earwax, you can first try a little mineral or olive oil warmed to room temperature and instill it in the ear. Let it sit for a while then flush out with warm water. Most cases will resolve with this treatment. If not, check with our pharmacists for special drops available without a prescription. There was a recent study about the alarming number of pregnant women who take medications while pregnant. It's good to get advice from your doctor and pharmacist to ensure the drug is safe and does not cause harm to the fetus. There are reference texts categorizing most drugs for safe use during pregnancy. If you are pregnant and want to self -medicate, before you take jt, talk about it. We're not trying to promote red wine consumption in this column but it seems it does a better job of reducing the risk of prostate cancer than beer, spirits or white wine. We work hard to give you the best possible service for all your medication needs. Huron Apothecary Ltd.
