Times-Advocate, 1988-01-13, Page 7AN INVADER - Jay Brazlau is surprised as a body (K. Reed Needles)
comes flying through a window in Filthy Rich at Theatre London.
Comedy at
While the setting for the latest
Theatre London play may be consid-
ered shabby and not descriptive of
its name it was funny and brought
back memories of detective stories
of many years ago.
Filthy Rich is actually a social
comedy by Toronto born playwright
George F. Wacker and may not be
enjoyed by anyone not fami:iar with
a variety of detective works featur-
ing characters like Sam Spade,
Mike Hammer and the likes.
It's difficult to put Filthy Rich
into a category. lt's a combination
of the ridiculous, black and white
film dialogue along with mystery
and Lots of unexpected action.
The main character of Tyrone
Power is played powerfully by Jay
Brazeau who holds forth in his
cheap apartment -office trying to
turn out an award winning piece of
journalism.
He portrays a former newspaper
the Grand
reporter turned wriier along
feeble efforts at being a private de-
tective between sips on4he bottle.
His first chore is to find a miss-
ing person, but shortly after he so-
licits help from a young security
guard played by Peter Donaldson,
shots ring out and the missing per-
son shows up coming crashing
through a window and was dead on
arrival.
Profanity is quite prevalent
throughout the show especially
from the first two mentioned charac-
ters and Michael Fawkes who plays
a tough police detective.
Beauty to add to the brawn is
provided by a pair of socialite sis-
ters played by Astrid Roch and Ga-
brielle Rose.
Filthy Rich continues at Theatre
London with 8 p.m. shows Mon-
days through Saturdays until Janu-
ary 30 with matinees at 2 p.m. each
Wednesday and Saturday.

your shower curtain out.

Mt. Carmel CWL learn
of nutrition, fad diets.
The first meeting of the New
Year of the Mount Carmel CWL
was held on January 5, with 23
people attending.
The guest speaker for the even-
ing was Barb Major-McEwan. She
spoke on Nutrition and Fad Diets,
a suitable topic at this time when
many of us have decided to go on a
diet for the new year. Fad diets arc
not always the answer to losing
weight for any length of time. -If
you wish to lose weight and keep
it off permanently you must
change your lifestyle habits in re-
gard to food and physical activity.
After the guest speaker, lunch
was served. Following that, rcad-
rhgs were given and the business
meeting was held.
Theresa McCann thanked Doro-
thy Dietrich for her time and effort
on the craft day in December. An-
other craft afternoon has been
scheduled for Thursday, January
14, at 1 p.m. in the meeting room.

Lady of Mt. Carmel School, there
will be a presentation on Sexuality
and Aids. Father M. Prieur, moral
theologian, St. Peters Seminary
and Mr. Eugene Dufour, Pastoral
Care Team, St. Joscph's Hospital,
London will be guest speakers.

Coping with the cold
By Sheryl Feagan
Health Education Consul-
tant
Iluron County Health Unit
Outdoor enthusiasts such as hik-
ers, skiers, hunters, boaters, snow-
mobilers and those with employ-
ment that exposes them to the cold
may fall prey to two serious condi-
tions - hypothermia and frostbite.
Hypothermia, a leading cause of
death in boating accidents, is a drop
in the inner (core) body temperature
and can occur even in moderately
cool weather if people are inappro-
priately dressed. Frostbite is a local-
ized cold injury that does not neces-
sarily affect the core body
temperature.
When someone exercises vigor-
ously in the cold, the body can usu-
ally maintain its normal tempera-
ture, but with less activity or in
severe weather conditions, its heat
production may fail. Then the body
usually sacrifices the extremities -
hands, toes, ears - to save the core
from fatal injury.
Hypothermia can result from a se-
quence of small errors such taking
off a glove too often, eating snow
for thirst, or frequently unzipping a
„packet. Wind increases the cooling
rate. Moisture that accumulates on
the body inside clothing, especially
from perspiration, is an added dan-
ger. Wetness reduces the insulating
capacity of clothes and in general, to
be wet is to be cold! After physical
exertion, a little wind on a sweaty
body easily produces hypothermia.
Frostbite occurs on the body areas
most exposed or with little circula-
tion like toes, fingers, ears, cheeks,
nose, neck. By using a little com-
mon sense and the old mountaineers
adage "keep warm, moving, and dry"
you can avoid frostbite.
What to do if stranded in the cold
Find or build some kind of shelter
and stay out of the wind.
Try to remain dry. Dampness
against the skin increases heat loss.
Avoid exercise that makes you
sweat. Work slowly and methodical-
ly rather than quickly.
Put on extra clothes or blankets if
possible.
Keep your head and hands covered.
Covering your head, mouth, and
nose lightly with a cap or scarf
creates a heat exchange system that
allows you to breath warmer air.
Stay awake at all costs if possible.

The body's metabolism and heat pro-
duction diminish even more during
sleep.
Don't sit or lie directly on the cold
ground. Insulate yoursell with
things like branches, leaves, or dry
loose soil.
Huddle close to others in a group.
Never wander off alone.
Don't eat snow. It doesn't satisfy
thirst and wastes precious body
heat.
Smokers and drinkers
beware!
When in the cold, even light to
moderate smokers should be extra
wary. Nicotine acts as a vasocon-
strictor and by contracting blood
vessels lessens circulation to the
extremities. Alcohol increases the
risk o:hypothermia by impairing
judgment, creating a false confi-
dence,, and by producing uncon-
sciousness - potentially life-
threatening circumstances when in
the cold.
Prevention is best!
The safest way to reduce risks due
to the cold is to dress properly and
be prepared. If you're travelling in
isolated areas or enjoying winter
sports, learn how to protect your-
self and other from the cold: Use
your head to save your toes! Enjoy
an active and safe winter!
