On March I st a second series of meetings will begin. Maximum public attendance at the meetings 1989. Its' theme, "Women, The Spirit 0f Enterprise," reflects in- deed the ingenuity, the willingness to take risks and the dedication that women possess. The Town of Newcastle certainly has its share of womnen who exhibit a spirit of enter- prise. While many have run their own businesses for a long time, many others are just discovering the joys and the risks of being "your own boss." Canada submitted a resolution on reproductive technology which urges the world health organization and National governments to establish policy guidelines for research, experimentation and ap- plication of human reproduictive technologies. The resolution \vas pas sed withi littie opposition. Members of the Ottawa Club deserve credit and congratulations for their efforts. Mrs., D'Vauz spoke enthusiastically about the many workshops and the friendly atmosphere at the Congress. Atten- ding an International Congress is an exhilarating experience as this writer can attest.

Attendance was generally good at the first round of meetings, although it was noted that senior citizens were overly well- represented and those of the "mid- dle generation" under-represented. Since today's young people and tieir- parents wîillbe -the ones creating and having to deal with tomorrow's garbage, it is ho ped that a greater number of people of ALL ages wiIl attend the next round of meetings! As P.L.C. chairman Ralph Blank says, "Garbage is EVERYONE'S problem. It is only by working together that we will be able to find reasonable solutions to the critical probicuts facing us to- day. A meeting is being held in the Bowmanville High School on Thursday evening, March 8th, com- mencing at 8:30 p.m. Onta0rio's electr-I»cty use declines Record high temperatures for January 1990 resulted in reduced electricity demand. Demand in January 1990 averaged 17,969 megawatts, a six per cent decline compared with the same period in 1989. Ontario Hydro supplied a total of 13.4 million megawatthours during Januiary, a decline of 1.6 per cent compared with the same period in 1989. Trhe monthlypeak, ex- perienced at 5:45 p.m. January 12, was 21,756 megawatts, compared with the January, 1989 monthly peak of 23,068 megawatts. The decline in demand and supp- ly reflects the spring-time-in-winter temperatures experienced in January. The month saw the mildest temnperatures recorded in Ontario since the 1930s. By con- trast, December,' 1990 was the col- dest of this century. The December- January temperature contrast marked the greatest temperature di fference ever recorded in Ontario. Urging snowmobilers to stay off lakles - rivers TIPS FOR SURVI VAL Snowmobilers, whose snowmobiles crash through the ice, face four deadly threats to their lîves: SHOCK of falling into icy waters can induce an involuntary gasp caîl- ed the "torso reflex". if the snowmobiler's mnouth is underwater when this gasp occurs, drowninig is not only possible but probably. If timie allows, the solutioni is for snowmobilers to cover their faces with their hands and to hold their breath. HYPOTHERMIA, associated with unexpected immersions into frigid waters, is another major factor in the deaths of snowmnobilers (and motorists) whlose vehicles plunge throughi the ice. Because cold water chilis 25 times faster than cold air, life expectancy is measured in seconds. Get ont of the water im- mediately. Do not remove wet clothing, which will retain some body heat, until shelter and warmith is found. PANIC, in wvater both summer and winter, w hen combined with the fourth deadly factor, ALCOHOL, can be lethal.
