"Involvement
and
Participation"
I believe that the key to success comes
through involvement and participation
in one's community. This is something
that each of us should strive for and be
proud of.
My experience is limited but a desire and a willingness to be of service to this
community is my most important asset.
I would appreciate your consideration on December 6th.

KEN OTTEWELL
`°' COUNCILLOR
In an election it is impossible to personally meet
everyone. I've been trying though. To my friends
and acquaintances who may not be contacted,
please don't feel I've taken you for granted, but
rather that I feel I can count on you. During my
past term on council, I worked hard on your
behalf. To those who do not know me I ask that
you place your trust in me on Dec. 6. A vote for
experience, ability and concern.
THE FLU
This is how
Ontario's no-cost
flu protection
program
will work.
There could be an outbreak of flu in Ontario this winter. So
your Province is recommending vaccination against both
swine flu and Victoria flu for people age 65 and older, and
people age 20 and older who have certain chronic
illnesses such as diabetes, heart, lung or kidney disease.
We plan to vaccinate them with one inoculation before the
diseases strike — if they strike. There is no charge.
We are also offering no-cost swine flu vaccination to
other people age 20 and older who want to be vaccinated.
But no one will be required to accept vaccination— it is a
personal and voluntary decision.
What these flus are
Both flus are caused by contagious viruses that spread
directly from one person to another, just like the common
cold. (Swine flu is not caused by eating pork.)
Swine flu is suspected of being similar to the 1918-19 flu
which was responsible for the deaths of 20 million people
world-wide, including 45,000 Canadians. Victoria flu was
responsible for many deaths and illnesses as recently as
last winter.
Symptoms
The symptoms are usually fever, muscle aches1
headaches, chills and coughing. It takes one to three days
from the time the virus gets into your system until you start
feeling ill. The flu lasts two to seven days. With severe
infections, flu can kill. Swine flu can kill within 24 hours.
Ontario's no-cost vaccination program
To ward off these two flus, Ontario's 44 local Medical
Officers of Health will administer a province-wide
vaccination program. Dates, places and times of clinics in
your area will be announced.
Many of Ontario's 2,200 public health nurses will carry
out the actual vaccinations. Some family physicians will be
vaccinating their own chronically-ill patients. Your Ontario
Government pays all costs.
Vaccinations will be given with traditional needles or with
fast painless air spray injectors that shoot a light spray of
vaccine through the skin of the arm. The injector can
vaccinate 1,000 people an hour, and it has been used
safely for many years. Flu vaccination does not leave a
scar.
Possible side effects for those who should be
vaccinated
Most people will have no side effects from this vaccination.
Serious side effects are rare, but they can occur — as with
any vaccination. Minor side effects can include a sore arm,
headache, fever and muscle aches, lasting one or two
days. If these minor symptoms persist, contact your
doctor. Protection through vaccination starts in about three
weeks and will probably last a year or more.
Who should NOT be vaccinated
If you are allergic to chicken eggs, chicken or chicken
feathers, don't be vaccinated at all, because the vaccine is
made from chicken eggs and can cause a severe reaction.
If you have fever, acute respiratory or other active
infections, don't be vaccinated while you are ill. No one
should be vaccinated for swine flu within 14 days before or
after any other vaccination.
Flu vaccine will protect 80 to 90 per cent of those
vaccinated but there is no drug or antibiotic to cure flu,
so vaccination is desirable.
For further information about the flu vaccination program,
contact your local public health unit.

JOE MILLER
Protestis lib rary statement endorsement.
Bayfield Reeve Ed Oddleifson
vigorously protested the en-
demi-tient of a "Statement on
Iptellectual Freedom" which was
attached to the report of the
Library Board presented to
Huron County Council at its
November meeting last Thur-
sday.
By endorsing the statement,
Mr. Oddleifson said, it indicates
"we agree with the new
morality"
"Today, we pick up a book and
find it contains nine tenths foul
language," he told the council. "I
do not believe in censorship but
there must be some way we can
control this sort of thing."
"I am not a crusader," he said,
"but I want to express my
distaste with the recent direction
Canada is taking in this field."
County Librarian W. Partridge
told Mr. Oddleifson that "just
because a book has some foul
language should not mean that
we refuse to buy it." He said it
was important to look at the book
in its complete context.
"I'm glad my children are
older because the filth and dirt
that children today can obtain is
just not up my ally," Seaforth
Reeve John Flannery noted,
It was clause four of the seven
clause statement around which
the controversy was centred. The
"I feel a sense of revulsion," clause noted that "freedom of the
the Bayfield Reeve said. "In press requires freedom of the
many cases it makes me feel sick writer to depict as ugly,
that our children should be ex- shocking and unedifying in life
posed to this." when such depiction is made with
Tuckersmith Reeve Elgin serious intent."
Thompson indicated that he felt
much the same as did Mr,
Oddleifson.
Stan Profit, Reeve of Goderich,
said that to argue with Mr,
Thompson and Mr. Oddleifson
would be like trying to argue with
the "senior citizens and
monarchy of County Council."
"Its up to you," he told the
councillors, "don't pick the book
up and don't read it."
Huron teachers endorse pact
Elementary school teachers,
employed by the Huron County
Board of Education voted on

Contract details are not to be

According to a Government

bonus. The teachers were also
unhappy over allowances for

Provide turkeys
for sick benefits
Employees of the Exeter
Public Utilities Commission will
be receiving turkeys this
Christmas as gifts from the
Commission.
Commission members agreed
at Thursday's regular meeting to
continue the custom which has
been in effect for many years.
In answer to a question from
mayor Bruce Shaw, manager
Hugh Davis explained that the
turkey bonus began as part of a
plan of premium reduction to
employees in the sick benefits
plan.
Davis said a clause in the sick
benefits agreement calls for a
reduction in the payroll deduction
from 1.4 percent to 1.2 percent
and this must be returned to the
employee and the turkey bonus
has been the method used in the
past.
