Cleaning upin the fall helps prevent disease carry-over to next year and makes spring gardening easier. .10 Plante residues and dead leaves can be removed and deposited in a compost pile. Edge flower and shrub borders with a sharp spade and give gar- dens a light raking to make them look neater. If you want to do some land- scaping, there is still time. Trees and shrubs can be planted until the ground freezes solid. Recen- tly planted evergreens should be watered to prevent the foliage from tg�:1ryin `oul" Wer the wui ir:� 'Tender plants, such as roses` and -chrysanthemums, need winter protection. Mums can be inglched" with a 4 -inch layer of peatmoss 'or clean straw. For roses, draw soil around the base of the bushes to 'a height of several inches. When the ground is frozen add straw, strawy manure or leaves, then cover the bushes with evergreens boughs.. The evergreens will trap snow, giving the plants good natural protection. House plants that have become pot-bound should be repotted in larger containers. Make sure the plants have adequate drainage. If you plan indoor .gardening this winter, it's a good idea to prepare a house plant soil mixture NOW. Mix a few shovelsful of soil with some compost and sand. Shred or sift the mixture and store it in a plastic bag until required. It's a good idea to place lef- tover fertilizer inside a plastic bag to prevent hardening. Make sure that all insecticides, her- bicides or fungicides are locked away, out of reach of children. .b Nine Mile '(liver at Port Albert. Tony was attempting to float on ` his back. when he drifted into - deep water and went down. His sister swam to his rescue but in panic her younger brother grab -Q bed her and both went down. In -following attempts to drag Tony to safety they both went under five times. Exhausted, Rita swam to shallow water and yelled for help, Kathy saw the difficulty although others in the area thought the screams to be a 4i joke, and swam about 130 eet to the approximate spot where ,the boy had gone down. She dove and . located the then unconscious youth and dragged him to shore where she applied mouth to mouth resuscitation until he revived. Under the sponsorship of the Catholic Wornen League from Kingsbridge the presentations were preceded by a program of local talent and a filth on (ap- propriately enough) water safety. Fate of Vanastra facilties in question` What is to become of the recreation facilities now lying dormant at Vanastra (the for- mer Canadian Forces Base at Clinton) has been the topic of some discussion recently climaxing with a tour of the complex by Rene Brunelle, Minister"' ce Social and Com- munity Services. Meanwhile the Huron Perth Roman Catholic Separate School Physical Education Con- sultant John McCarroll has found the Training Centre, on the; old base of great use to the RvC. S.3_. _Clinton, The school has no gymnasium of its own so the students from grades five, six, seven and eight with their teachers Mrs. Frances Craig and Mrs. Margaret Barkely found themselves with more than ample space to carry on simultaneously two classes of physical education. The grades five and six had a lesson in creative movements which stressed body awarehess Co move not only •in various directions, varieties of levels''and at a cha rike Of speeds. "In- dividuality Individuality is also a paramount concern as the children differ in size and ability." Mr. McCarroll explained.. The grades seven and eight were preparing themselves for volleyball skills with lead up ac- tivities in learning the proper techniques before playing the" game. Later, the junior group was challengect-to climb over under and between the climbing equip- ment using the many parts of their bodies while the seniors were treated to a short game of bowling in the eight lanes found in this multi equipped recreation centre.. Assisting in , this classroom demonstration were: Jim Lin- ton, program, director of Strat= ford, Jahn 'Sheardown, a student - at Conestoga College, Rick Ellis, of Walkerton who i$ presently attending Conestoga College, Andy Anderson of Lucknow who is now attending Stratford Teacher's College and Jack Fades of Kitchener who is also a student at Stratford Teacher's College. Following the demonstration's at the gym, the instructors and members of the press in atten— dance were taken on a' tour of ' the various other facilities -located at Vanastra.

One study recently reported involves the use of an enzyme called .dex- tranese to control decay. The ex- periment has yet to be conduc- ted with humans. This enzyme apparently at- tacks a bacterial product associated with decay. This product is called dextran and is involved in the forming of tar- tar. Tartar ,sticks to the teeth, irritating ,the gums and providing a pest for bacteria which produce the acids that at- tack the teeth. Scientists believe that the en- zyme can destroy dextran, causing tartar to break down and. cause fewer cavities and gum disease. Several other studies involve xNmvgogxvxvx-vxvx.vxv.gviro t: 44 a 414.4 the use of multiple fluorides to prevent decay. Fluorides have been proven highly effective against tooth,, decay. Countless studies show that children who have been drinking fluoridated water since birth have as much as 65% less decay than children who do not receive the benefits of fluoridation. Fluoridated water, sup- plemented by fluoride solutions painted on the teeth and regular brushing with a fluoride den- tifrice, have slashed decay by up to -90% . Use of these -techniques has been gaining in popularity. Recently a- special fluoride treatment dentifrice became available for brushing under supervision on a mass scale by children. These "brush ins" can be used by farge groups of people in maintaining good oral health.
