Quota Club sets theme for Shatter Silence Week The Quota Club of Huronia proclaimed this year's Shatter Silence Week theme as 'Take The First Step'. Aimed at educating the public on the causes of hearing impairment, the services available to them and the means to prevent Denture Awareness Month Over the centuries man has made artifical teeth out of many materials, in- cluding bone, ivory, human teeth, wood, gold, silver, porcelain, vulcanite and a variety of plastics. Some of these materials could be carved to shape, while others were crude fitting castings to which strips of whale bone or springs were attached in an effort to hold them in place. Today, through the ad- vances in science, the ex- panding technology of den- ture manufacturers is prac- tically boundless. Toot manufacturers have created teeth to match every complexion and per- sonality. It's now possible Business On May 21, 16 Midland Secondary School students competed with other top business students in the an- nual Simcoe County Business Contest in Barrie.

May has been declared Denture Awareness Month to make people aware of these advances and the fact that dentures are now available through denture therapists or denturists. At one time, if you needed dentures, you could only buy them through your den- tist. Today denturists can serve the public directly.

Cable television con- ducted an interview recent- ly between Lorna Marr, a cable TV interviewer, Mary Thompson, president of the Quota Club, Alex Norwood, a four year-old deaf child and his mother Mary Nor- wood. During the interview the four-some discussed the procedures of getting help when hearing impairment is detected, where to go, how to cope with it and how to avoid hearing impairment. The interview will be shown three times throughout the week on Cable t.v., Tuesday and Wednesday at 6:30 pm and Thursday morning at 10 am.

Local representatives of the Quota Club and area of- ficials will be on hand to help send off the balloons. This year's theme, 'Take The First Step' was sug- gested because, according to Grace Kidd, member of the Quota Club, diagnosing hearing impairment is often very difficult. The theme suggests that people who suspect that they, or someone that they know, might have a hearing problem, should take the first step by contacting the ap- propriate people right away. The first person that so- meone should go to if they are having trouble with their hearing, according to Kidd, is their family doctor. According to Kidd, an average of 10 per cent of the people in Midland are hear- ing impaired. This may not mean, however, that they are deaf, she said, rather that they experience hearing trouble frequently or have been experiencing hearing loss over a period of time. As part of the preventive aspect of Shatter Silence Week, the Quota Club will be distributing fun filled ques- tionnaires to elementary schools in the area. On these forms, which the children can colour, are questions that ask which devices can damage your hearing. Devices such as Walkmans, stereos and televisions are potentially hazardous to your hearing, says Kidd, if played either too long or too loud. Anyone who would like more information on the Quota Club or on hearing im- pairment should contact the Quota Club.

Gy For Reservations 526-2332 Antique show cancelled After having been an an- nual event in Midland for the past 20 years, the Huronia District Hospital Auxiliary Antique Market is cancelled this year because of poor turnout. Julie Mudde, vice- president of the hospital aux- iliary, says antique markets don't generate the dealer tur- nout they did 20 years ago. "Last year was a special year and we raised $4,500 for the hospital because it was our anniversary,' Mudde says, "but we decided to cancel it this year because the show conflicted with others in the province and we only could confirm seven."" Mudde says at least 15 to 20 dealers are needed to put on a show. Because prices have in- creased over the years, it costs more for dealers to travel and buy and sell their goods. They aren't making the money they used to because people aren't buying. ""Money-making shows tend to be around Toronto and southern Ontario," Mudde says, "and it's just not worth it for dealers to travel to Midland anymore." People turn out for the event, Mudde says, but they aren't buying. "It used to be people would leave with everything but now they just buy trinkets and small items. The dealers used to travel the cir- cuit but now they only tour within their areas. "Most people turned out and paid the admission price because they supported the auxiliary but it hasn't been cost efficient for the dealers." Mudde says the antugie market simply ran its course. "You can't flog a dead horse,"' she says, "but that doesn't mean we won't be putting on bigger and better events." The auxiliary has planned a Strawberry Social for the end of June and will host another event in the fall to raise money. This is the aux- iliary's eightieth year of ser- vice to the Midland com- munity and the 10th anniver- sary of Huronia District Hospital. "DINNER BUFFET' Fri., Sat., Sun.
