! I Section Two The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, October 17,1984 9 Many Interesting Displays at Blackstock Sesquicentennial Medicine Cabinet Clean-up Oct 15th The cheerful notes of the steam whistle could be heard Saturday during a display of miniature and full-sized steam engines at the Blackstock Fairgrounds. The display was part of Cartwright Township's sesquicentennial celebrations and it also included a collection of antique tractors. This one-sixth working scale model of a Waterloo steam tractor is owned by Bruce Carr and was built by Walter King, of Seagrave. Construction took Mr. King two years. Your pharmacist thinks you're holding something back, keeping something from him. And you probably are. During the two weeks from October 15th to 28th, your neighborhood pharmacist is asking you to empty your medicine cabinet of all old, outdated medicines, whether prescription or over the counter drugs. This is Medicine Cabinet Clean-up time in Ontario and more than 1100 pharmacies in the province are asking for all the medicines which may be out of date, from every medicine cabinet. Last year more than 6,000 medications were brought to pharmacists for evaluation. Outdated and dangerous medicines were disposed of by the pharmacists to make sure they could not be accidentally used. The Ontario Pharmacists' Association is sponsoring the clean-up campaign and the Durham Pharmacists' Association is participating. Asked about the clean-up, Association president, Greg Callaghan said, "Since many medications lose their strength and become useless over a period of time, it is important that old medications be destroyed. This campaign provides patients with an opportunity to check any left-over medications in their homes. Durham pharmacists will be happy to check any medications brought into their phamacies and will return any that are still good." Concerned that elderly patients, particularly, may be affected by the mis-use of over-age medicines, pharmacists are anxious to have seniors check their medicine cabinets and bring all the medications in for examination.

The engine shown above was on display during the Cartwright Township sesquicentennial display held in Blackstock on Saturday.
