Michael New house charged at the annual meeting of the Huron Perth Lung Association in Seaforth Wednesday night. Dr. Newhouse, who is director of the respiratory disease unit at St. Joseph's Hospital, Hamilton told more than 100 members of the . Association that medical research isn't a high priority with the federal gaoveroment. The doctor apologized for making a "political" speech but urged his audience to protest cutbacks and freezes in research money with letters to the Prime Minister, to Health Minister Marc Lalonde and local MPs. It costs Canada ab out $250,000 to train a good medical scientist, and once trained researchers often leave for jobs in the United States where they have job security, he said. Cigarettes are 30 or 40 times as dangerous as industrial pollution Dr. Newhousa said as he urged the lung organization to keep up their fight against smoking. A smoker who breathes Seaforth's clean air is worse off than a non-smoker who works every day in Hamilton's coke ovens, he , said. His group is looking for ways to keep asbestos particles out of the apd to fight other industrial diseases, Dr. Newhouse said. Other research allows doctors to detect lung damage before. the patient feels at all impaired. "We can clete.etabnormalties early and warn people to stop smoking," •Dr. Newhouse said. "But usually they don't stop, they say 'no I feel fine,." Researchers have discovered that aerosols that asthmatics use are 50 times more effective if they are breathed in slowly and quietly for two- minutes rather than breathed in quickly, Dr. Newhouse said. Research has saved ` millions by finding that expensive positive pressure machines price used to deliver aerosols don't make them much more effective, he told the Association. Pointing to highland dancer Janet Lemmon of Stratord who entertained at the dinner meeting and had a spell of coughing, after her dance Dr. Newhouse said highland dancing could perhaps be introduced as another Association project. People who get a lot of exercise can clear their lungs better than others, he said. Seaforth dancer Angela Andreassi also entertained at the meeting' which was chaired by HPLA president Eileen O'Brien of Stratford. The group's executive council was returned for a second one year term. Perth County Warden Ed Doerr told the group that his county council had banned smoking at council meetings. Huron's Warden, lack McCutcheon brought greetings from his county . Honorary -treasurer H. W. Bartman of Stratford said the group's bank balance of $17,721.11 should be closer to $38,000 to start the 1974 financial year. Christmas seal contri- butions were down 2.8 per cent in 1975 to $38,351.55. The mail strike interupted the campaign. The Association spent just over $14,000 on education; $4,557.02 on rehabilitation and social services; $2,388.13 on adminis- tration and gave more than $4000 each to the Canadian and Ontario TB associations. Lung Association vice president David Schenck of Seaforth presented a gift to retiring executive council member Art Goodwin of Stratford. Ralph Goren of Stratford who also retired was unable to be present.

Mrs. Donna Greb, Zurich, chairman of the local -campaign says that the 1976 goal is $8,000, a realistic objective, she comments, in view of the 75 results and the increased . awareness of the work of the local association.

They are bused to Dashwood five days a week from an area encompassing Arkona, Egmondville and Londesboro. At this adult rehabilitation - centre, the trainees learn to develope the talents they possess and become capable, where possible, of engaging in gainful employment either in the open market or in a workshop environment. Deeourdy Spearheaded by Exeterlitited Church, the Association is now involved as well in a residence housing four adults and a counsellor. This is its most recent project and 'one that was assisted by area citizens with time, materials and furnishings. The program at the residence is to foster a home-like, situation so that the residents may develope social and housekeeping' skills ' that may lead them to a less structured • type of accommodation. The first project of the Associa- tion was Huron Hope School at JAD McCurdy, Huron Park. In. 1969 the Board of Education took over _.the administration. , In 1969 a pre-school nursery was organized.
