Then you may be the victim of a miniature creature from outer space. According to Dr. David Turner, of the Laurentian University (Sudbury, On- tario) physics and astronomy department, there exists a school of thought in the sciences which maintains that colds and some types of epidemics are related to microscopic organisms bred deep in space "The insides of comets are the ideal environment for the creation of life forties," ac- cording to this theory. While comets are "gravel - ice mistures, if you get a big one, it will have a rather warm interior sheltered from the sun and suitable for the creation of simple life forms and complex molecules." Larger objects reaching the earth from space will be seen as meteors shooting across the sky, while the microscopic particles which will encase a micro- organism will float down to the earth, "taking months to settle." According to Dr. Turner, this school of thought holds that "a lot of diseases come from space and are created by the effect of settling on local terrain." In keeping with this theory, in order to catch a disease, you must be at the right place at the right time - so that you can breathe in the dust -encapsulated germ before it reaches the ground. These diseases may in fact have contributed to man's evolution. If roan is descended from the apes, why then are there no men with flat faces? Well, the theory explains, it may be that a process of natural selection has taken place and that only those of the species with noses to act as a kind of umbrella sheltering man from excessive ex- posure to these particles were successful in propaga- tion. However while the academics theorize, man is still trying to cope with the common cold as he has for at least 3,000 years.

(Photo by Joanne Buchanan) CHSS elects new council By Janet Tench Of major importance this week were the Student Coun- cil Elections held last Tues- day. The elections were close, but winners were ob- tained. The Student Council for 1983-84 is: Lori Hayter, President; Lori Souch, Vice - President; Elaine Pennings, Treasurer; Lori Schmidt, Secretary. Already the Council is learning their tasks from the 82-83 Council. Lori Hayter, in her election speech, said that she would try to improve school spirit, which has been lacking this past year. Tak- ing these two items into con- sideration, it would appear that school life will improve, but will we ever achieve the spirit of the days of Ed? A new system has been employed by the Awards and Bars Committee. All students who were awarded a bar for participating in a club, received a heavy piece of paper with a sticker bear- ing the club name. One saves this card until 12 stickers are accumulated, then gives it in to the ABC. On Thursday, Mr. Ludwig challenged students to break the six minute time for the mile, and the eight minute time for the mile and a half. .4 Ship your Livestock with FRANK VOOGEL RR No. 1 - ®ashwood 238-2707 (call collect) Shipper To ignited Co- operatives Of Ontario Livestock Department, Toronto.

"Our position today is to keep people laving in the community as long as possi- ble. There is a wide range off support services nursling homes can provide and Nur- sing Home Week is an ideal time for the public to learn of the community out -reach programs we would like to share in," believes Richard O'Donnell, President of the Ontario Nursing Horne Association. The ONHA sponsors Nurs- ing Home Week each year. s CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 8, 193—PAGE 15 el they have a lot to share This year they are again adopting the theme of Senior Citizen's Week in Ontario: "We All Have a Lot to Share". During the week of June 20-26 community nurs- ing homes will be opening their doors and holding special programs. Many homes will be par- ticipating in the 5th Heart Jamboree, a special celebra- tion activity to provide fun and raise money for heart and stroke research. The Jamboree is co-sponsored by the ONHA and the Ontario Heart Foundation. Many nursing homes already offer facilities to community groups and par- ticipate in local meals -on - wheels programs. Included in the broad context of out- reach, nursing homes would like to foster more Day Care Lawnmower safety tips The rotary lawnmower is probably the most dangerous piece of machinery around your house. The knife -edged blades can reach speeds of up to 320 krn-h (200 mph), and can hurl objects as far as 15 metres (50 feet). The most common ac- cidents with rotary mowers involve contact with the blade, leading to lacerations and amputations, and ob- jects being propelled through the discharge chute or from under the housing. These home-grown missiles often injure bystanders. The Ontario Safety League offers these tips to keep your lawn neat and your ex- tremities intact this sum- mer. Before mowing, read the owner's manual and pay particular attention to safety recommendations. Clear the lawn of sticks, stones, toys and anything else that might be flung by the blade. Wear sturdy shoes with rough soles. Never go barefoot or wear cloth shoes or sandals. Start the mower on level ground where you have firm footing. Mow parallel to a slope. Never pull the mower toward you - always push it. Always turn off the mower and disconnect the spark plug wire before unclogging or adjusting the machine. programs for seniors requir- ing companionship and ac- cess to social at•tivities, who could return to their homes at the end of the day. Wheels - to -meals is another com- munity program which could be linked to a nursing home Drop -In Centre. In addition, nursing homes provide an ideal centre for the provision of ancillary health services. Some nurs- ing homes in communities without easy access to local hospitals are already broadening care provided for local citizens. For in- stance, with permission of the Ministry of Health, Carveth Care Centre in Gananoque has provided palliative care. Palliative care responds to the needs of people suffering from ter- minal illness when treat- ment to prolong life is no longer appropriate. Other care could include physiotherapy, pre -hospital admission care, post- operative care, convalescent care, holiday and respite care, and respiration care. "Ideally, the nursing home could become the focal point for out -reach programs and mclude Home Care service and a transportation centre for the elderly and handicap- ped," Mr. O'Donnell said. Nursing home residents to- day are encouraged to re- main as active as possible and retain a feeling of still being part off the community. Many professionals within the nursing home field see a much stronger community role. Evelyn Wilkinson, former chairman of the ONHA Nurs- ing Committee, now ad- ministrator of Aurora Resthaven Extended Care and Convalescent Centre, Aurora, said nursing homes would take on a new role with long term care being only one component. "The nursing home would become a multi-purpose cen- tre supplying service to peo- ple and the community, pro- viding care for people of all ages," Mrs. Wilkinson said. "Emphasis would be placed on improved understanding of aging with a multi- discipline professional ser- vice provided by doctors, dentists, nurses, physiotherapists, and ac- tivationists."
