And one of the sure signs of Christmas is the large number of bazaars and sales being held by many local organizations. Here, three-year- old Bryan Kendal takes a look at a friendly toy puppy at a rummage sale which.was held in the Bowmanville Public Library last Friday. The sale was sponsored by the Mothers Association of the Third Company Girl Guides and the First and Third Brownie packs.

Chronie Shortage of Breath Symptom 0f Emphysermia Emphysema is a serious chronic disease of the lungs that affects chiefly men over the age of forty. The term Emphysema is derived from a Greek word that means infla- tion, that is, too much air in the lungs or reaiiy over- inflation. There is in emphysema anothen important factor, namely damage or destruction of part of the 1lung tissue. The iung changes In emphysema occur in the air sacs or the breathing units rather than in the bronchi. There is no known single cause of this disease but cigarette smoking, air pollu- tion, repeated lung infection, heredity and the normai process of aging, ail play a role in the development of emphysema. Approximately nine eut of eveny ten people with this diserder admit te heavy cigarette smoking. The combination of, city living in an industrial area with high levels of air pollution, along with cigarette smoking, increases the frequency and1 sevenity of emphysema. Most people with emphysemna do have a preceding history of chronic cough and sputum of long enough duration to warrant a diagnosis of chronie bronchitis before the develop- ment of emphysema., The most important Unemlymn ,insumnhce inow mooe ta condîions Ontaiio, To make your Unemployment Insurance Program more responsive to the special needs of diffrent areas of Canada, there are now 48 economic regions for UI. (Up to now, thene were 16 regions.) With this change, UI benefits will more accurately reflect your local employment conditions. It's ail part of a plan announced over a year ago. 1Each of these new 48 regions will have its own unemployment rate. This will set the length of time a claimant must have worked to become eligible for Un- employment Insurance benefits. And it will govern the length of benefits as well. There's nothing new about the system itself-it's just being measuned more finely in 48 negions, rather than 16. The length of time a claimant must work to get UI remains the same. It varies from 10 to 14 weeks, depending on the unernployment rate where the claimant lives. And regionally-based benefits have the samne maximum. The change will only affect those whose UI dlaims start after November 12. This map and the information with it will show you the new economic boundaries in your area. Clip the map and save it for reference, if you like. symptom in a person with emphysema is shortness of breath. This symptom tends to be disregarded in its early stage so when the symptom of breathlessness is reported to the physician the disease is already at an advanced stage. There is commonly a wheez- ing noise comiing from the chest when the individual breathes heavily and this reflects an associated narrow- ing of the bronchial tubes. The early detection of emphysema is a major problem. An educational programme aimed at inform- ing people about the early symptoms of chronic bronchi- tis and emphysema should bring the person to a physician so that steps can be taken to hait or slow down the progress of the disease. There are methods of treat- ment that help the people with emphysema - it is NOT a hopeless condition. The re- SUitS of treatment are much better when the disease is recognized at an early stage. In the later stages of emphysema the person is icpacitated by his iliness. Thefamîly as a resuit suffers considerabie mental anguish. Then there is the drain on family savings, on health insurance funds and eventual- ly on the public tax money. So in this disease the socio- economic impact on the patient, his family, the province and municipality may be excessive. Prevention is even more important than treatment in the overail consideration of emphysema. Research into the causes of emphysema is essential and needs greater support.

Safe Hunting Starts with Good Eyesight George B., an avid sports- man is adamant that none of his friends will be faced with a repetition of the prevîous year's hunting tragedy. A computer executive by profes- sion, George eagerly awaits the faîl season with the advent of his annual expedition to the northern wilds of Canada. Last year at dawn, he mistook movement in the bush for a deer. The bullet from his rifle almost killed one of his best friends. Following investiga- tion of the accident police and hunting authorities George learned that he had an eye PADDY'S MARKET New and Used Furniture and Appliances Trade-Ins Accep¶ed on Applilances - Easy Credit Termns Available - Telephone 263-2241 Hampton rection. Eiarlier detection of the vision problemn would have averted the mistaken identity. This year, George ensured his hunting cohorts have their eyes tested before he signed them up for the trip to the wilderness. Many hunting accidents could be avoided if hunters had their eyes checked regu- larly. The hunter's success and safety in the field depend almost totally on good vision. He must see clearly at all times, whether he is shooting, or simply walking through the bush. Otherwise, the hunts- man creates a danger to himself and anyone else around him. .Everything in huntîng begins with. what the sports- man sees, and in many cases, how he visualizes what he is going to do. Identification of the quarry depends on color discrimination, clear vision and visual co-ordination. If the hunteî can't see clearly ,te begin with, he can't aimn accurately. The best wýay to detect any vision problem is through a complete eye examination by an eye care practitioner. A thorough test Involves check- ing for refractive errors (nearsightedness, farsighted- ness and astigmatism), muscle imbalance,» co- ordination of eyes, depth perception, focusing ability, and color deficiency. Clear vision can be attained with soft contact lenses, hard contact lenses or glasses, but sof t contact lenses probably are the best correction choice for most hunters. Contact lenses stay at body tempera- ture when worn. Subsequently they do not fog up as spectacles do when the wearer goes from cold to heat or vice versa, or works or plays in humid air. a likelv occurrence in hunting areas. They do flot pop out easily - even'during quick eye movements, and aliow the hunter, to aim through the view finder close up, without the obstruction of glasses. If you're planning to venture into the bush where you'll be firing a gun or rifle, you should arrange for any eye examination with your ophthalmologist or optome- trist, prior to your trip. It will likely prevent a tragic acci- dent and more importantly, it could save your life.
