For many it is the time to pack up the car and the kids and head,.for the cottage. Then you unpack the car and don't forget,the kids, that is if they haven't gone for a dip, clothes and all. Make plans for a relaxing weekend, oh well, that is after you air the cottage, clean the windows, restock the cupboards, clean up the grounds around the cottage after winters ravage, do a bit of repair work and put a splash of paint here and there and oh yes, don't forget to clean the barbecue. All those minor jobs done and gee whiz its time to go home --next weekend will be better. After you have had a week to rest when you go home to your every day routine, you might make it down to the lake next week and put your big toe in the cool blue water and retire to the lawn chair and watch the kids build sand castles on the beach. Then there are those who stayed at home and put their garden in and worked up their flower beds and relaxed while watching the cars and campers rush by. By late Monday evening, one didn't even need fireworks, you could see the tempers rise and sparks fly as the heavy flow of traffic and frayed nerves and tired kids made for automatic blast off. For those who went to public fireworks or had their own at home, it was a delight to watch, 1 am sure, To hear the youngsters shouts, surprise and watch their faces as the different firecrackers burst into a multitude of colour in the sky is worth a thousand words. In case you think this column is free of error, you re wrong. This week you will notice a picture of Father Bester and supposedly one student from each of the nine years he taught at St. Patrick's in Dublin. There are only seven students in the photo. One had left the hall before I could contact him and I forgot to include Gary Ryan who. was one of' Father Besters students the seventh year he was here. To those I missed and to those I forgot --my apology. PERSONALS Dorothy Hayne of Simcoe and Arnold Smith of Prince Albert, Saskatchewan visited with Jean Di11 on the weekend.

The draw was made for the mystery prize which was won by Nancy Devereaux, Rheumatoid disease affects women Rheumatoid disease affects more women than men, and the average age of onset is usually between 20 and 40. It involves a chronic inflammation of the lining of the joints and may strike anywhere in the body, although the hands, wrists, elbows and knees contain the joints most often affected. Usually, the onset of this type of arthritis comes on slowly, although it can be much more sudden. Treatment is usually very lengthy, and can, in a majority of cases, prevent disability. In some cases, it may also help to restore lost joint function. The single, most common cause of serious problems later in the course of rheumatoid arthritis arises from delay in seeing a doctor after the symptoms surface. Gout and pseudogout are crystalline types of arthritis that result from a disorder in the body's chemistry. They are among the most painful disease known to mankind, and are far more common than most people believe. Estimates indicate that nearly 200,000 Canadians suffer with one or the other. , Gout is a result of the body's over -produc- tion of uric acid. It sometimes also occurs because the kidneys cannot irocess the uric acid and pass it out in the urine in sufficient quantities. When this happens, the uric acid is sometimes deposited as crystals in the big toe. Eighty to 90 percent of the people with gout are men, and the most common age for a first attack is between 40 and 50. Gout is one of the types of arthritis which can now be totally controlled with medication. Pseudogout, though similar to true gout, involves the deposit of calcium crystals in one or more joints, most often the knee, wrist, ankle or fingers. This disease strikes men and women equally, usually in their mid -60s.

Representing each year that he has taught there are from left to right: Mike Kelly, Bryon O'Rourke, Ken Bruxer, John Frorllfs, Gethy O'Reilly, Father Richard Beater, Dianne Dickson, Debby Vandenburk. (Photo by Hook) THERE MIGHT BE SOME activity at the Huron Hotel In Dublin with In the next few weeks If everything goes according to owner rarely seen in people under 30. Pseudogout attacks are similar to those of true gout, but generally less painful. No drugs exist yet which will eliminate the calcium crystals, and treatment normally includes an anti-inflam- matory medication, rest, exercise and some- times, joint aspiration (removal of the inflammatory crystals with a small needle at the site of the attack). Ankylosing spondylitis is a type of arthritis that involves inflammation outside the joints. It strikes men almost exclusively, and the most common age of onset is between 20 and 35. Ankylosing spondylitis affects the back- bone, or spine. It usually starts at the base of the spine, where it joins the pelvic bone. Left untreated, the inflammation can cause the joints of the spine, called vertebrae, to fuse or grow together. If this happens, even the most simple bending, twisting and stretching movements might well become impossible. Thre disease can also affect the lungs and create heart problems. There is, however, usually very little pain and, with an early diagnosis and strict attention to the pre- scribed exercise and treatment regimen, the prognosis is usually very good. Lupus (Systerrtic Lupus Erythematosus) is a type of arthritis that affects nine times as many women as men. h is mild in many people, bid ,if left untreated can, leadq'to serious problems, sometimes even death: • Lupus can affect the skin, and will sometimes cause damage to nerves and the brain. It may also inflame the lining of the lungs and the heart, and damage the iddneys. Twenty years ago, people with lupus rarely lived too long. Today, however, with strict medical attention, the prognosis is much, much better, and many patients lead happy lives. ° OTHER TYPES There are many other types of arthritis that are much less common and far more complex. These include juvenile arthritis, scleroder- ma, psoriatic arthritis, and arthritis due to infection. As well, there are a number of arthritis -related conditions that involve in- flammation of the supporting joint structures such as muscles, tendons and ligaments. These conditions include bursitis, tendinitis, fibrositis, polymyositis and polymyalgia rheumatica. All can be quite painful and be a recurring problem if they are not properly diagnosed and carefully treated. Leo Barrett's plans. The hotel, which was destroyed by fire over a year ago, has been the target of several residents complaints In the police village of .Dublin. (Mille photo) ublin waits for decision The fate of the ill-starred Huron Hotel is in the hands of an umpire who will be deciding what arrangements should be made between owner Leo Barrett and the insurance company.

Each foreperson will be responsible for the transportation of each crew member from a designated pick-up point to the actual work location daily. Each of the crew members will be between the ages of 16 and 24 and will have had some agricultural experience. An estimated 1,000 Ontario farmers are expected to employ Agricrews this summer.
