*he warningKnow signs
to -help prevent strokes
Doctors call them "little
strokes". Short episodes of
dizziness, weakness or
numbness in limbs or double
vision may occur, and the
victim rarely suspects that
anything is wrong.
But "little strokes" often
are a signal that a full stroke
is impending and, though it
may be days, weeks, months
or years away, the danger is
still there.
Usually the effects of
"little strokes" are not
noticeable. As a result the
victims dismiss the symp-
toms, unaware of the
damage a full-blown stroke
can cause.
Until research comes up
with a method of preventing
high blood pressure and
hardening of the arteries, the
major contributing factors to
stroke, some strokes can be
avoided with Long-term
treatment. In many cases a
stroke can be prevented as a
result of the recognition of
early warning signs. These
are:
—sudden, temporary
weakness or numbness of the
face, arm or leg;
—temporary loss of speech
or trouble in speaking or
understanding speech;
—temporary dimness or
loss of vision, particularly in
one eye, or an episode of
double vision;
—unexplained dizziness or
unsteadiness.
In combination with these
symptoms, a change in the
pattern of headaches may
occur.
A stroke occurs when the
supply of oxygen -carrying
blood to a part of the brain is
cut off, causing millions of
cells .to die. By halting- the
oxygen supply for just a few
minutes, irreversible brain
damage can result.
This year more than 18,000
Canadians will die from
stroke. It is estimated an
additional i50;000 will be
afflicted, many with crip-
pling after-effects.
Stroke stems from the
same basic risk factors as
heart attack. High blood
pressure, high Wood
cholesterol an excess
cigarette smoking are the
major ones, while a diet high
in saturated fats and
cholesterol, a lack of
exercise and too much
weight are also important.
The most significant risk
factor is high blood pressure.
Research studies have
demonstrated a sharp
reduction in stroke deaths in
cases where blood pressure
has been controlled.
Data based on long-term
studies has shown that
control of hypertension, the
medical term for high blood
pressure, may in, fact
prevent stroke. Therefore
the most promising key to
prevention is the early
detection and control of
hypertension.
Stroke has long been
viewed as an affliction of old
age, but strokes hit, young
men and women as well as
the elderly. They even occur
in children. The mean age„
for strokesin Canada is 50.
That is why the Heart
Foundation emphasizes
regular blood pressure
checks and adherence to a
proper diet and healthy life-
style, beginning at an early
age. The Canadian Heart
Foundation, in cooperation
with its new partner, the.
Canadian Stroke Society,
emphasizes the education of
both physicians and the
public regarding prevention
of stroke. High blood
pressure control is essential
to achieve this goal.
The Ontario Heart
Foundation can give you
more information on stroke
prevention, free for the
asking.

Huron Country Playhouse
announces studio musicals
The announcement of the
1984 play series in the Huron
Country Playhouse, Grand
Bend, studio theatre — Play-
house II — has just been
made and theline-up of three
musicals promises to pro-
vide an exciting summer for
theatre -goers.
Playhouse II is the newest

plex. This smaller theatre
opened last July and housed
productions of "18 Wheels",
"The Return of the Curse of
the Mummy's Revenge" and
"Eight to the Bar".
Heather Redick, HCP gen-
eral manager, commented,
"Last year ticket sales in
Playhouse II started out
slowly, but, by the end of the
first few weeks, the cast was
playing to capacity crowds.
We are all very proud of the
new theatre and pleased with
the reception it received."
There will be a few
changes in the Playhouse II
'set-up. Though the basic
cabaret -style of, entertain-
ment . will remain, the
repertory format has been
dropped.
In 1984, each of the three
shows will be performed for
a total. of 10 days (12 per-
formances). During each
complete run, there will be
regular Thursday matinees.
Once one show has com-
pleted its run, that show will „
close and the next will open.
To satisfy the demands of the
audience, tickets will be
available on both a subscrip-
tion and an individual ticket
basis.

II season will be "Love in the
Back Seat", by Bill Hartley
and Cliff Jones (July 11-21).

signer jeans.
