Ozone a threat to your health Fun fundraiser A little bear donated by Bainton's Old Mill helped raise money for Children's Hospital of Western Ontario in a draw held at the Blyth Branch of the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce. Betty Battye, (left) won the bear, presented by Jayne Marquis. Blyth to get Scout signs At the May 1 meeting of the Blyth Group Committee, it was decided that the committee would like to supply town council with Scout signs to be incorporated into the new town signs being con­ structed. It was reported that the Bake Sale April 27 brought in $125.50. Thanks was extended to Blyth Dec­ orating for their support, to John Greidanus for his time and the use of his tables, to the mothers of the boys who supplied the baking, and to the residents of the community who came out to buy the goodies. Rev. Paul Ross was present to speak to the group. He spoke of the reconstruction of Jerusalem in 600 B.C. when it was common practice to build a defensive wall around a city. In today's society we no longer do this, but if we look close­ ly enough we do have our own blockades. Stairs, for example are an impediment to wheel chairs. In relation to scouting, when the boys are camping with other groups, each pack or troop sets up some kind of demarcation line from their neighbouring group. There may be no harm in that. On a broader view of the Scouting program, however, barriers are unacceptable. Ideally, the program should be available to all interested boys. Every effort is made locally, through the generous donations of the sponsors, fundrais­ ing events run by the group com­ mittee, and individual fundraising efforts by the various sections to ensure that hopefully, no boy is excluded because of financial costs. All groups are winding up their year's programs. Beavers have fin­ ished 'Friends of the Forest', and are making plans for the Beavoree. Three Beavers are eligible to move from Pond to Jungle.

April 9 tawny stars were handed out. On the 23rd they planted Trees for Canada. On the 27th they played a game of ball hockey. April 30, each boy made a pair of stilts and then got to try them out. During the month of May they will be going over the rules to be practiced at Benmiller Camp and also talking about the equip­ ment to be used and how to care for it. The Scouts operated a car wash and garage sale April 4 in Blyth to raise the money necessary to pay for their food when they go camp­ ing next weekend in Dorchester. The Venturers met April 10 at John Greidanus' home to draw up their shopping list for camping sup­ plies. April 24 they met at Dale Kressman's home to practice archery.

In fact, experts say the "haze" you see on summer days could be dangerous to your health: it's actu­ ally ground-level ozone gas that, in high concentrations, can harm humans, plants and synthetic mate­ rials. And unfortunately, the amount of ground-level ozone in Canada is increasing. However, reports Envi­ ronment Canada, governments are tackling the problem, and you are part of the solution. OZONE'S DARK SIDE Ozone, a gas in the atmosphere, has good and bad sides. Ozone surrounds Earth and acts as a protective layer that filters out ultraviolet rays. Which is why the world is so concerned about its ozone’s depletion. Ozone also occurs naturally at ground level, and is present in small amounts everywhere. In these natural quantities, it's harmless. Ozone becomes a problem in travelled to Sarnia to attend a camp. The annual Cub-Scout bottle drive has been cancelled this year because it interferes with the Scouts' camping trip Happy Birthday Paul June 4 Getting older &, better LOVE YOUR FAMILY higher quantities. Nitrogen and hydrocarbons, pollutants emitted mainly by automobiles and indus­ try, form ozone when they interact with sunlight. This means high concentrations of ground ozone (smog) are usually formed in highly-populated and industrialized areas, and also down­ wind from these cities. (Wind can move ozone thousands of kilome­ tres - so even if you live out in the country, you're not spared from the problem.) If there's little or no wind to carry away some pollutants, the cities are worse off. How can ground-level ozone hurl you?

It can: • harm lung tissue; • make you more susceptible to infection; • aggravate chronic respiratory conditions; • cause coughs; • cause headaches and irritate your eyes. For example, an Ontario health study revealed that a 70 per cent increase in hospital admissions for respiratory complaints is associated with periods of high ozone levels. (It's estimated that seven percent of the population, or about one in 14 people, are sensitive to ozone.) ENTERTAINMENT MAY31-JUNE1 "BEN GERDING" 523-9381 L.LB.O AT THE MAIN CORNER IN WALTON 887-9517
