Times Advocate, 1984-10-31, Page 181 Page 18 Times -Advocate, October 31, 1984 Hallowe'en coins save lives If every Ontarion put just a dime into a UNICEF collec- tion box this Hallowe'en, the lives of five million children could be saved! Each year in the developing countries live million young children die of dehydration caused by diarrhoeal infec- tions. UNICEF is implemen- ting a treatment to combat this, called Oral Rehydration Therapy, which is part of a four -point program recently adopted by UNICEF. The other three parts of this pro- gram, which is called GOBI, are Growth Monitoring, Breastfeeding and Immunization. Oral Rehydration (ORT3 consists of a simple combina- tion of sugar, salt, baking soda and potassium costing approximately 10e per package and which may be administered by a child's parents in theirown home. The results produced by the administration of ORT have already been dramatic. For example, in Honduras deaths among children under two years of age have been halv- ed in one year because of a massive campaign to pro- mote the use of ORT for children suffering from diar- rhoea. In India infant deaths in 13 Punjabi villages have been halved by the implemen- tation of ORT in less than two years. These are only two ex - New phone books out Lighted candles, the univer- sal symbol of a birthday, dominate the front and back cover of the new London -St. Thomas and surrounding area directory, in recognition of Ontario's Bicentennial, be- ing celebrated in 1984. Some 245,000 copies will be delivered, beginning November 11 and ending November 28. Peter Croome, local Bell Canada manager, said the in- troductory pages of the phone book have been redesigned giving the public a fast and easy reference for all kinds of telephone information. Drawings, bold -face headings, white space and symbols are used to make each section of information stand out. "We expect people will find it easier to locate and read in- formation in the introductory section because of the new format," said Mr. Croome. "One part deals with customer service, another with finding numbers, local and long distance calling and a final one with the federal rules which govern Bell." The introductory pages also point out that there are no longer three free calls a month for residence customers who call directory assistance for telephone numbers that are listed in the directory. There is also a $9 charge for processing NSF cheques. Bell is continuing its policy of delivering one directory per household. ampler of many - but Oral Rehydration Therapy is still not available to the majority of children in need of the treatment. It can be... if every On- tarion contributed just one dime to UNICEF on Hallowe'en. You can help UNICEF in this special life- saving effort by being ready with your dime on October 31! Physical education skills are important Basic skills in physical education are as important for children as are com- munication and computation skills says a University of Western Ontario professor. Professor Auke Van Hoist of Althouse College, the teachers' college at Western, said to achieve these skills, he has three goals. These goals are part of the physical education program he has written for primary grades. This program is used in whole or in part by the Huron -Perth Separate School Board and the Perth and Huron County Board of Education. The three goals in Prof. Van HoIst's physical education program are reasonable knowledge and proficiency in motor skills. understanding and applying the knowledge of the affects of activity on the body and the role of activity in daily living-. Ile says there has been a definite improvement in the physical activity of Cana- dians over the past few years. On top of this, Prof. Van Hoist says research shows a decline in the severity of heart disease among Canadians. However, not everyone agrees that physical activity is for them. This, said the pro- fessor, is where lifestyle changes have to be made. Prof. Van Hoist was a presentor at the Huron -Perth Separate Schools systems PA day. llis goal for that day was to make the teachers feel comfortable with his physical education program. Singer at Blyth Singer -songwriter Shirley Eikhard will perform in con- cert at Blyth Memorial Hall on November 9 at 8 p.m. The concert is part of a three con- cert series of popular music hosted by the Blyth Festival which began with a Sylvia Tyson concert in September and will conclude with the traditional band Eritage on March 29. Shirley Eikhard started performing nationally at the tender age of 13. At that time, Anne Murray said of her, "Shirley already has more talent in her little finger than most artists will ever develop". Since that time, Shirley has made a name for herself as a versatile and growing songwriter, per- former and recording artist. She has garnered two Juno awards, recorded three albums and appeared on over 300 radio and television shows in the last twelve years, in- cluding two Anne Murray specials, numerous Tommy Huntershows and a Hagood Hardy special in 1976. In recent years, Shirley's music has grown from her country and folk music roots to encompass the jazz and blues tradition as well. For the Nov. 9 concert she will perform a mixture of her own compositions, many of which have hit the "top ten" in radio play, along with some classic country and fold tunes. Shirley will be backed up by a three piece band. Tickets for the concert are $10 each, and are available by calling the Festival at 534-9300. Old landmark topples, last sign of salt works One of Exeter's oldest land- marks toppled to the ground on Monday. A tall chimney, marking the location of the Exeter Salt Works, was pulled to the ground at the site of the former industry just west of the CNR tracks near the can- ning factory. The Salt Works commenc- ed operation near the London, Huron and Bruce Railway in the 1880s. Among the chief shareholders in the company were W.G. Bissett, T.B. Carl- ing and D. Mills. Salt was produced from a well about 1,500 feet deep on the site. Most of the salt produced was sold in the immediate area. According to local historian Joe Wooden, the well was pur- chased by a Mr. Ransford from Clinton in 1924 and he operated it for a few years un- til the frame building housing the works burned down. The chimney was the last remaining evidence of the factory and it begrudgingly left the scene, Monday. In his History of Exeter, author Wooden reports that the salt company sent an ex- hibit of salt and brine to the Paris Exhibition and receiv- ed a diploma for the entry. The exact nature of opera- tion is not known, but it is believed that water was forc- ed into the salt vein and then the resulting brine pumped to the surface where it was us- ed in that state or evaporated to get pure salt. o Bowling at Zurich lanes HERE'S YOUR HAT — Cam Dougall hands volunteer fireman Cam McLeod his helmet during a visit by the Sunshine Nursery to the Exeter fire hall.
