(Staff Photo) *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.
