Dianne is the new field worker for Huron County Cttajter of Epilepsy Ontario. She's working under a Canada Community Development grant to provide much-needed ser- vices for these people and their families who need her help and support. At the present time, Dianne is training with Peggy Stewart who is director of Epilepsy Ontario Midwest with offices in London. According to Peggy, London is one of the Canada's major epilepsy centres. Dianne's job In Huron is a pilot project. She's the first field worker in the province and Huron is the first area selected by the federal government for this work. • Huron was chosen because' It is a part of the huge Midwest Region. The physical distance between Huron, Bruce and Perth Counties for persons wishing to use the free services of Epilepsy Ontario in the Midwest Region at London was a big consideration. Dianne's training with Midwest will be completed by mid-May. As soon as possible after that, she will open an office Huron County from which she will begin to administer services similar to those offered in London. Many of the services are directed at the education of the general public con- cerning epilepsy. "We try to explain what epilspsy is - and what it Is not," says Peggy. Some of the services are geared for parents of. children with epilepsy as well as for people who have a seizure disorder. "It's creating op- portunities for them to share experiences and to help each other," Peggy points out. "We deal with the non- medical aspects of epilepsy such as acceptance of epilepsy and coping with it." Two of the most important aspects of Dianne's work will be assisting •people with epilepsy to find jobs and helping young clients deal with the disorder at a time in their lives when just being a teenager can have its own problems and frustrations. Dianne will be combing the area to find willing volun- teers to assist her. Not to be overlooked however, is Dianne's. responsibility to raise funds, for the non-profit organization. While some funding is generated through private James Murray, Jennifer and Steven, London and Mr. and Mrs. Lorne Elford attended the baptismal service at Elimville Church Sunday morning when Brenda Elaine Elford daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Michael Elford was baptized. They were all lunch guests with Mr. and Mrs. Michael Elford. Sunday morning at the regular church service a baptismal and communion services were held. Rev. Stan McDonald of Hensall was in charge of the service. r Grand Bend Cleaners & Launderers W. April Clean! You'd be foolish not to take advantage of these 1 day offers.

For more information call Dianne Morrissey at 524- 7477. Early diagnosis could help prevent worsening disorder There are so many types of epilepsy that Peggy Stewart, Director of Epilepsy Ontario Midwest, isn't exactly sure of the number. Doctors are identifying more types all the time, she says, thanks to modern sophisticated equipment. The definition of epilepsy is the tendency to have recurrent seizures. Early diagnosis and treatment can often prevent the disorder from worsening. One thing is for certain. Epilepsy takes more than one form. It can be so subtle that it can only be described as sensory seizures - felt but not seen. Or it can be more serious. And more obvious. The grand mal variety is when the entire body is involved in the convulsion and the person falls down. Most persons with epilepsy are diagnosed in childhood and adolescence. But the disorder has been recognized in infants as well as the aged. It is estimated that about one percent of the population have had or will have some form of epileptic seizure in their lifetime. In most cases epilspsy is not inherited. In many cases, the epilepsy will disappear completely. Most epileptic seizures are controlled by special an- ticonvulsive drugs prescribed by a doctor. If you wish to know more about epilepsy, please contact Dianne Morrissey, field worker for Huron County Chapter of Epilepsy Ontario at P.O. Box 536, Goderich • or telephone S24- 7477.
