10 IORTHLEEDSLAITERN MARCHI992 .‘A' Lyndhurstmmm" ST. PETER'S ACW The February 4 meeting of St. Peter's Anglican Chuch Women was held at the home of Vera Bennett with 10 members present. Vera conducted the worship service using the Luke 5 verses l â€" ll scripture and asked thoughtâ€"provoking questions as to why we went to church and why the crowd pressed in our Jesus. The Private World Relief Fund was discussed and a video tape was shown. We learned that the fund helps refugees at home and abroad and these funds are watched by the Canadian International Development Agency three to one. It was decided that we use the proceeds of our Pancake Supper for the Private Fund. Although the decision on whether we should sponâ€" sor another child has been on the agenda through the Christian Children's Fund as part of our misâ€" sionary program the deciâ€" sion was deferred to our next meeting. Again concerning missions the Ryandale House in Kingston and funds from the Nearlyâ€"New Shop for it was voted. A group, Vera Bennett, Rita Jones, Mary Dean and Betty Sly, volunteered to organize the Pancake Supper March 3. The price of $3.50 for adults and $1.75 for childâ€" ren and a family price of $11.50 was decided. The meeting closed with the ACW prayer and song and a delicious lunch was enjoyed. Gail Moore T R?

Poor indoor air quality might be causing health problems in your home and workplace" said Trudy Lundvall, Executive Director of The 'ung Association of Lanark, Leeds and Grenville On average, Canadians spend at least 90 percent of their time indoors. At this time of year that percentage could be even higher. In fact, experts agree that air pollution levels can be greater indoors than out. The most significant pollutants found indoors are second-hand smoke, the vapours from household and personal care products, vapours from arts and crafts materials, nitrogen dioxide, carbon dioxide, formaldehyde, microbes and fungi asbestos, and volatile organic compounds. These pollutants can cause a variety of health effects including: lung cancer, eye and respiratory tract irritation, headaches, nausea, reduced resistance to infections, allergic reactions,fatigue, confusion, dizziness and rashes. "There are a number of things you can do to reduce the amount of indoor air pollution in your home and workplace," suggested Mrs. Lundvall. "The most important step you can take is to quit smoking and ban smoking your home and workplace. There are 43 known carcinogenic compounds in tobacco smoke alone. Standard domestic and commercial ventilation systems cannot eliminate the hazards of tobacco smoke," added Mrs. Lunvall. "The Lung Assoc1ation can provide you with other simple steps you can take to control indoor air pollution in your home and office and information on how to quit smoking,‘ concluded Mrs. Lundvall. The Lung Association is Canada' 5 oldest voluntary not- for- profit health promotion organization. It conducts public health education, research and public awareness programs which are supported by donations to the annual Christmas Seal Campaign and by other voluntary contributions.

Of this, $115.00 was given for the rental of a wheelchair, $200.00 to the Gananoque Food Bank and a further $200. 00 to the Seeley's - Bay Lions Club for Christmas hampers. The balance of $460. 04 together with the net profits from this year's sales will be used for similar rojects or othe t which come to our attention. p Urgent neEdS Unfortunately, we had to postpone our end- January sale and regret any inconvenience this may have caused.
