The con- cept is strongly supported by the Rural Learning Associa- tion (RLA) of Guelph, which sees them as a means of ac- tively involving communities in their own health care. "The opportunity is there for people to get something better than sickness in- surance, to get genuine preventatives and health maintenance programs that really meet their needs," sayd Dr. Cole. Women Today has a set of three audio tapes, produced by the RLA in 1983, which ex- plain the concept and function of community health centres. These are available on a loan basis to any interested party, and may be obtained by call- ing the Clinton office at 482-9706.

I usually write these coloumns just before I leave on a trip and I try to speculate as to what will happen. The truth is I have to get a column written before 1 leave, and I haven't thought of another topic. Actually, trying to guess the future is fun. Usually because 1 am so far out in left field. So -- By the time you read this, I will have been skiing in the Rockies. Sounds exotic, en? If I do really get up my nerve to attempt skiing in the Rockies, I will, no doubt, break bones. And if you have any compassion at all, you will be sending me "get well" cards in some Calgary hospital. Thank you in advance. And if I am lying in some hospital bed, I will, no doubt, be insanely jealous of my hus- band. As usual, he will pro- bably take to skiing in the Mary's musings By Mary Alderson Rockies the way a duck takes to water. After all, he's the guy who can't swim, but waterskis like a pro. On the other hand, 1 spent all my life taking swimming lessons and earningmy bronze medallion, and I am still terrified each time 1 attempt to slalom on waterskis. No doubt, Victor will be the next Horst Bulau, flying over jumps and taking moguls in stride. I'm jealous already, and we haven't even seen a mountain yet. 1 should explain that we are not heading off to Alberta just to ski. My employers at AIS are sending me to Calgary and Edmonton to cover a cou- ple of conventions for our agricultural magazines. In Calgary, I will be reporting on a convention of fertilizer and chemical dealers, and the following week in Edmonton. I will be covering a conven- tion of the Prairie Implement Manufacturers' Association. As it turns out I have a few days in between conventions, so my husband is joining me in Banff -- and apparently, when one holidays in Banff in" February, one is expected to go skiing. The prospect scares me to death, but they say that the snow is so deep in the mountains you don't hurt yourself when you fall. I'll give you further information on the validity of that state- ment when 1 get home. If 1 get home -- in one piece. Actually. I know exactly whats going to happen to me I'm probably going to be sick. I am very prone to mo- tion sickness. I do not go near airports without a supply of Gravol. In 1983 I made nine trips by air, and believe me. motion sickness does not go away the more you travel -- my pills went with me to such points as Winnipeg, Saska- toon, Ottawa, Nassau, Bran- don, Milwaukee and Cham- pagne, Illinois. It's difficult to maintain the old dignity when you're green and beads of perspiration are running down your nose. But thanks to Gravol, I love to fly.

Stanley skating carnival proves to be successful By Mary Chessell A good crowd turned out for. the Stanley Township Skating Carnival in Bayfield on Satur- day night, with dozens of children in costume. The judges were presented with a difficult task. Prizes in kindergarten age and under went to Michael Stephenson and Jeff McGregor; grades 1 and 2, Kelly Ratcliffe and Erin Keys; older children, Melody Turner and Joanne Consitt., The oldest skater there was MervynHayterand the youngest was Mervyn's granddaughter Meghan. The Lowell Mount family won the "biggest family" prize. One wonders how the little ne to motion sickness also get ill at high elevations. Ap- parently, if you're not used to living in the Rockies, the height can make you quite sick. I have stocked up on my motion sickness tablets. A native of flat Lambton coun- ty will not be able to stand liv- ing in a hotel that is halfway up the mountain and only ac- cessible by gondola. So by the time you read this. I will probably be sleep- ing in a Rocky mountain resort -- passed -out from an overdose of Gravol. Unless, of course, I'm -in a Calgary hospital. Varna rink could have accom- modated so many. Perhaps it was fortunate that the weather made it necessary to move the carnival to Bayfield. When you see how well the very young children skate, you realize how valuable our own little rink is. It's in use three nights a week and on Sunday afternoons. The Orange Lodge hall is open and heated at the same time for changing into skates. It's also a comforable gather- ing place for parents who are waiting for their children. There were fourteen tables of euchre, the biggest turnout this winter, at the Orange Lodge card party on Friday night. High and low ladies' prizes were lion by Betty Thompson and Mary Reid. Men's high was Doug McAsh; low, Frank Thom. Draw prizes were won by Cliff Henderson, Marg Elliott, W.D. Wilson.

Times -Advocate, February 22, 198.4 Page 7 Plan health c•ntro workshop Thursday, Huron County residents will have the oppor- tunity to examine the concept of a community -sponsored Community Health Centre, during the workshop co- sponsored by The Huron County Community and Social Services Council and Women Today. Such a facility provides primary care, preventative care, and related social ser- vices together in one com- plex. At the same time, it combats the growing cen- tralization of decision-making by restoring control of its own affairs to the small community. "The concept has come out of a kind of anger at our pre- sent health care system, which is not meeting the needs of many of our people. We have to change people's sense of involvement before we can change the patterns of health and illness in our socie- ty," explains Dr. Donald Cole, who will conduct the two-hour workshop. Dr. Cole is a physician at the York Community Ser- vices Centre, a highly suc- cessful Toronto facility, which employs a team of doctors, nurses, professional counsellors and legal workers, as well as an army of volunteer drivers, inter - BEEHIVE Department Store GRAND BEND Sale ends Feb. 29, 1984 at closing time Closing time 5:30 • All Men's Wear • All Ladies Wear • All Childrens Wear • All Novelty and Giftware • Yarn up to OFF the regular ticket price and more pedal N? 57725 CREDIT TO THE ORDER OF NOT BANKABLE - FIVE OR NEGOTIABLE GOOD FOR S5.00 on purchase of S50 or over GOOD FOR 52.50 on purchose of $25 or over GOOD FOR Si .00 on purchose of $10 or over Discount Not Available On Fair Traded Items ift Clerk GOOD ONLY UNTIL FEB. 29. 1984 gearer 1 $500 DOLLARS AND NO CENTS e.
