physical activity, the speaker dlaims bis doctor recom- mends a person sbouldn't get physically involved in any- tbing after 40 tbat tbey didn't do prior to tbat age. To stave off tbe pangs of restricted physical activity, Mr. McQuaig says be keeps as busy as possible at alternative interests. One of bis post-beart attack bobbies bas become neediepoint. Living proof tbat cardiac arrest can be reversed by a combination of sopisticated medical tecbnology and knowledgeable, dedicated doctors, Mr. McQuaig doesn't feel enough education is channelled to tbe public regarding beart f ailure. Several warning signs pre- ceding bis attack whicb were attributed to artbritîs or fatique went unbeeded by tbe speaker because he was unaware of their implications. Following the Rotary luncheon last Thursday, Rotarian- Dr. Ram Singal, left, chats with guest speaker, Dalton McQuaig, Don Milîs. The speaker's address deribed his survival of a massive coronary. By Donna Fairey Being bit on the head repeatedly with a hammer for 15 minutes fairly describes the effect of a massive coronary on the humani body. Following a severe heart attack, this was the reply Dalton McQuaîg received from bis doctor wben hie asked him what a real "banger" was like. Addressing Bowmanville Rotary last Thursday, the speaker gave a true life account of the incidents lead- ing up to bis coronary and bis miraculous survival.. Heart disease is Canada's number one killer and though Mr. McQuaig fougbt a big round against the mala.dy when lie hovered for days on the threshold of death, hie told club members hie feels great now. Survival of heart failure does not mean a complete return to normality where everything is the same as it was before. To avoid a recurrence, tbose who have suffered a coronary must adhere to certain restrictions. The speaker told Rotarians lie bad no difficulty living witb hbis persontal restrictions. Though hie had been a smoker for 25 years, Mr. McQuaig's massive coronary spelled thie end of is nicotine habit. Also, physical activity involving any amount of exertion is out of the question. For a brief period, prior to his attack, Mr. McQuaig had taken un the new inursuit of jogging but the physical energy expended in the sport now disallows bis participa- tion. With reference to strenuous Persistent bouts of indigestion coupled with pains in both elbows signalled bis impend- ing coronary. On the evening of October 24tb, 1978, Mr. McQuaig became tbe victim of a massive coronary. While the speaker's life bung by a tbread, a coronary care team at Toronto General Hospital worked on bim relentlessly for six hours. As a result of tbe attack Mr. McQuaig also suffered kidney failure and pulmonary edema. In fact, it was a toucb-and-go situation for a period of approximately seven days whicb be spent hooked up to monitors in tbe bospital's intensive care unit. Because bis restlessness was aggravating bis already serious condition, tbe drug Pavlon was administered to sedatebhim and for a week Mr. Hn'AMPTON W. The October 23rd meeting of the Hampton Women's Insti- tute opened in the usual way witb Mrs. Burrows, President, presiding. Due to the fact our Secretary, Mrs. Yeo, was ýin bospital and our books were unavailable, Mrs. Renton, Ass't Secretary read the report of the last meeting from the Canadian Statesman. Thbe Roll Caîl, Wbat 1 amn doing for the Year of Cbîld, was very interestingly answered. It was moved by Mrs. Macklin and seconded by Mrs. Caverly that we invite Newtonville to our December meeting, carrîed. Mrs. Chant suggested, our members and also the members of lour visiting Institute each bring either a decoration or a gif t they had made for Christmas for display at the December meeting. A discussion follow- ed on the, House Log Contest being sponsored by tbe District Women's, Institute. Mrs. Chant and Mrs. Hall offered to instruct a class in crafts of a morning. More about this at our next meeting. Mrs. Kantor took the chair for the South Group. Mrs. Renton introduced the guest speaker Mrs. Susan Morrison, Vice Principal of M.J. Hobbs Sr. Public School. Mrs. Morrison spoke on thîe Rights of the Child. Everyone enjoy- ed the talk very much and Mrs. Renton thanked Mrs. Morrison for coming. Mrs. Caverly introduced guest pianists Beth His who played two piano solos for us. Tbese were -enjoyable and its nice to have local talented students perforrn for us. Mrs. Wakely had the Motto - Happiness is catching, like measies and flu, and read to us an article titled, Wby we alI have ups and downs. This was very enlîghtening. Mrs. Burrows closed the meeting by leading us in repeating the Lord's Prayer. The South Group Lunch Commit tee served tea leaves and cheese along with a cup of tea. Trown, Hikes Interest on U npaid Monthly interest rates on unpaid taxes should be biked by one-quarter of one per cent, according to a recommenda- tion from the Town of Newcastle's finance and adminisration committee. The committee made this recommenidaion on Monday following advice fromn Treasurer Klaas DeGroot. If approved by Town Council, the 'Rew interest rate on unpaid municipal taxes would be 114 per cent each month instead of the current rate of one per cent. In bis report to the finance and administration committee Newcastle's treasurer noted that Bill 103 of the Ontario Legislature bas amended the Taxes Municipal, Act to allow a higher rate. "During a period when lendîng institutions are charg- ing high rates of interest, many taxpayers find it advantageous to defer pay- ment of their taxes since this imposes a lesser penalty thani încreasing their borrowing," Mr. DeGroot said. The treasurer also noted that it is imperative the town's' interest rates remain bigher than those of lending institu- tions. While the rate of 114 per cent -per montb does not match recent interest rates charged by other lending institutions, Mr. DeGroot pointed out that this is the maximum allowed by legislation. Duescribes Coronary As Being Hit on the Head L mC-Quaig was rendered to a stgte akin to unconsciousness. After 15 days he was taken off the critical list. Making a recovery which surprised mucb of the bospital staff involved in his immediate care at the time of his heart failure, Mr. McQuaig was released after six weeks of recuperation. On a scale of one to 10, he rates his coronary a "three" but was quick to point out "tbree" was quite sufficient. An employee of the Crippled Cildren's Society, bis work often brought hima to Toronto General Hospital prior to bis coronary. "Little did I realize this hospital would ultimately be responsible for saving my life," said Mr. McQuaig. "If a sponge were to be lef t inside someone following an operation you would neyer hear the end of it but, unfortunately, hospîtals like Toronto General don't get enough recognition for the instances they work for hours over a ravaged body to maintain life," said the speaker. Mr. McQuaig takes heart in the fact he is only the second survivor with the amount of severe complications he experienced, since Toronto General's cardiac care unit opened in 1969. 0f bis outlook on the future, he says it's as optimistic as yours and mine.
