Tit4Bits„„ BY JOANNE1JTALTE RS For the sake of brevity and clarity, The Goderich Elevator and Transit Company Ltd. has Changed its name to simply Goderich Elevator Ltd. According to George Parsa .• • others who do business with Godesich Elevator Ltd, should underStand that for a whee, both names will appear on company cheques and stationery. + Last week in a Signal- , Star story about a special council meeting on the widening of Highway 21 south, several ideas and statements were at- , - tributed to Councillor Bob Allen. Unfortunately, Councillor Allen did not attend the meeting. Jim Hagarty, the Mitchell Advocate news editor who is spending some time in Goderich this summer, covered that meeting armed with a seating plan of town council to aid him in identification of people he didn't know. Apparently, the town engineer Burns Ross was seated in Councillor Allen's spot. The Signal -Star apologizes to Burns Ross and to Councillor Bob Allen. The facts in the story, however, were not disputed. So read it again if you wish and substitute Burns Ross' name for Councillor Allen's. ++.+. • News was received last week that Jamey Sturdy anda11g91aPinFL11ilY ebiedcof 11 muscular dystrophy sufferers.

It causes a loss of body fluids and salt that can lead to heat exhaustion. Elderly and obese people are most susceptible, but it can catch anyone, even children. Normally over-exertion will cause it, but on a very hot day, you'll lose energy just sitting around. On days like that, make the kids sit 'down and cool off occasionally and be sure everyone cir_„,_i1115519.tSPSHater, Heat exhaustion shows a shock -like condition with dizziness, muscle cramps, cold, clammy skin and sometimes nausea and diarrhea. Get the victim into a cool place. If he's vomitting or has diarrhea, add a half a teaspoon of salt_ tn.a pint of water or give him a salted broth. If he's unconscious, don't try to give -him- anything by mouth. Put him in what's called the recovery position, lying down, on his side with the head back so that if he is sick, he will not choke. + -I- Well, Bill Walters and --iteith-McLe Ilan have made it to the Com- monwealth Games in Edmonton, Alberta.
