Free Lung Function Testing Durham Region Lung Association will be offering free Lung Function Tests at the Bowmanville Mall on Fri- day, June 8th, from 1:00 - 6:00 p.m. The Association's objective in providing this service is to identify in- dividuals with the early symp- tons of obstructive lung disease, and encourage them to seek prompt medical atten- tion. Testing takes approx- imately four minutes, is com- pletely painless and does not require removal of clothing. The procedure is not an X-Ray. It is not necessary to make an appointment for testing, which is provided on a "first come, first served" basis, with test results calculated on the spot by a qualified respiratory technologist. The Lung Association hopes that by of- fering easy access to lung function testing, more people will become aware of poten- tial threats to their respiratory health. It is estimated that over four million Canadians currently suffer from ailments affec- ting the lungs and airways, with smoking, pollution and occupational hazards cited as prime factors in the increas- ing incidence of these condi- tions..If you would like more information on this free Christmas Seal service, call Durham Region Lung Association at 723-3151. wtnn no motor.

Wedding Stationary Orono Times Phone 983-5301 On Sunday, April 8, 1984, there passed -away at South Haven Nursing Home in Newcastle a lifetime resident of Clarke Township in the person of Mary Adeline Millson. She was born on June 18, 1897 on the home farm in Lot 12, Concession 4, Township of Clarke, the eldest daughter of the late Beeches and Elizabeth Millson family. Until her admittance to the nursing home her entire life was spent on the Homestead Farm in Clarke Township with her family. Predeceasing here were her father in 1909, her mother in 1947, brother Beverley 1926, sister Edna 1952, Mrs. Andrew Bandy, and finally her brother Hec- tor in 1973. Thomas Kinsman who lived his entire life with the Millson family, assisting them on the farm, predeceased her in 1953. Sur- viving her is a nephew, Harry Bandy, whom she raised after the passing of her sister. Addie, as she was com- monly called was a tremen- dous worker and managed the home farm for many years. She was devoted to everyone who knew her and would not pass anyone by without offer- ing them some kindness. She spent her life in caring for others to which many can at- test. Her final years on the farm were perhaps some of the happiest when her cousin Thomas Millson with his wife Gail and their children Mary, Brian, Tina and Mark lived with ber and operated the farm for ber. The funeral service was held at the Morris Funeral Chapel on Tuesday, April 10, 1984 and was conducted by Linda King of Newtonville United Church.
