Times-Advocate, 1982-11-24, Page 6Times -Advocate, November 24,1%2 It's that time of year It's that time of year - the time for bazaars. Seldom a week goes by without at least one or two bazaars in any community. One of the dif- ficult things about bazaars is deciding which to attend. Another problem can arise from trying to make it to two events in one day. Some bazaars fill church auditoriums; others take place in community recrea- tion halls. All bazaars have one thing in common. They are the culmination of weeks of . hard dedicated work by dozens of volunteers doing their bit for their church group or service club or com- munity organization. Another thing bazaars have in common is the ability to lure crowds. Some people at- tend because they want to support the organization that is hosting the bazaar: Some want to see how others do it before they host their own event. Others simply like to browse around, and if they find a bargain or something that pleases their eye, it's a bonus. And some people just enjoy the fellowship of the an- nual bazaar. For some of us, a difficult decision confronts us as soon as we step inside the door. Where should we go first? The bake table with its mounds of homemade muffins, tarts, bread and rolls, pies and We can't forget the flea market - the phenomenon that has taken bargain hunters by storm.

There is usually a produce section with vegetables from the gardens of people who are expert at making good things grow. There might even be a few dozen eggs. Perhaps we should head to the' craft table. Someone's creativity may be just the answer we are looking for a Christmas gift, a stocking stuffer or an ornament for our own home. At this time of , year, many 'bazaars have popular Christmas booths fill- ed with seasonal ideas. bacKs, children's stories or to look.: even comic books. and Before we leave the bazaar, way? Or, we'll have a cup of tea or cof- feeheck the with sandwiches or all the pastries or perhaps a full scale luncheon. But first we must settle our initial dilem- ma. Where do we go first? The bake table is most peo- ple's choice. Those goodies seem to disappear magically. You can't beat the taste of homemade baking - especial- ly when you didn't have to bake it yourself. And so we make our'rounds until we've seen everything there is tc see. The next pro- blem is lugging all our new found treasures out to the car and packing them in. At least we know we don't have to bake anything for dinner. when we get home. The an- nual bazaar fills that need, and at the same time, presents an afternoon of pleasure for many and rewards others for weeks of preparation. cupcakes? .

The neighboring parts of Perth,'Lambton, Kent, Elgin and Oxford counties could be affected by problems in Huron and Middlesex, he added. Eleven widespread areas of Ontario may be in line for an outburst including the Haldimand-Norfolk Region and. the Bruce Peninsula. "These predictions are bas- ed on wildlife population trends, on three and four-year cycles of rabies outbreaks common to these areas, and on a review of recent cases documented by Agriculture Canada," Pope said. "There's no reason for alarm, but residents should remember there is always a possibility of increased rabies. Not all areas will be affected." Pope said residents should have pets vaccinated, Should, avoid touching dead animals and should be especially wary of domestic and wild animals appearing to be sick, tame, or unusually friendly. Between April 1981 and March 1982, rabies cases in- creased by 38 per cent in On- tario to 1,977, he said. "Foxes and skunks are the main carriers in Ontario but the disease can affect everything from cattle to woodchucks." Rabies treatment is now far less painful, Pope pointed out. Five dosesvaccine are ad- ministered in the arm or shoulder compared to the series of 14 to 21 needles in the abdomen used for many years. SEALS COMING Christmas Seals are ex- pected to be distributed to all households in Huron and Perth counties this week, an- nounced David Wall, Fund Raising Chairman of the Huron Perth Lung Association. The response to the initial phase of the campaign, begun on November 1, has been very encouraging states Wall. Peo- ple are becoming aware of the problems associated with smoking and the prevalence of lung diseases. They are becoming involved with our fight- against this health hazard. • As businesses realize the major cause of absenteeism is due to various respiratory problems, we are seeing an increasing trend in their will- ingness to support research into lung disease. Wall reports that the Huron Perth Lung Association has received approximately one - 'third of the $60,000 goal re- quired to meet this years commitments to education, rehabilitation and research. He stresses that the final success of the campaign depends greatly on the public's response to. the Christmas Seal -appeal presently being conducted.
