each week tops president for 1977 elsie jones told the tribune that her organization although it has no official diet puts a great deal of stress on educating members on how to count calories and come up with diets within the calorie limitations set by the family doctor mrs jones says members bring in their own recipes and these are periodically reprinted for the members in addition tops members receive a monthly magazine both organizations attempt to provide a type of group therapy to encourage members to lose weight and deal with personal problems diet workshop in corporates toning exercises into their weekly program while tops encourages members to exercise at home according to mrs jones the group used to do exercises but shortage of space has made it impossible to continue

has never had any doubts about something that his life depends on the safety of his equipment mr smith felt that stouffvilles equipment is von par with any other department anywhere its all the same clothing and we j have the same modern- equipment as anyone else national safety stan dards a special sym posium on occupational safety has been set up by the international firefighters association next month in washingtond c firefighters are in the most hazardous profession in the world says sid oxenham chief of the fire service section in the ontario fire marshals office but the equipment they wear the concern over the left tothe discretion of protection firefighting the manufacturer equipment gives and the constant attempts to improve upon it has always been on the minds of those that risk their lives every time the fire bell rings the concern has been heightened in the past few years because fires have become hotter and more dangerous as a result of new construction materials and synthetics although the firemens equipment jhas not changed substantially in the last 30 years j mrsmith however is of the opinion that the equipment cannot be made any better we ve got onebrnd new truck and also one that is over ho years old and theyre both in great v there is not much dif ference 1 safety wise between the two trucks and i really dont see how they can improve them doubts about inadequate gear and unsafe materials still exist and this has triggered calls by canadian fire chiefs and firemens associations for one of the most contentious pieces of equipment is the helmet with many people feeling that the presentday helmet is not made to stand up to the intense heat of a major fire mr smith com mented that if a fire becomes hot enough to melt a helmet its too hot r for the human body to stand todays helmet can stand up to just about any fire mr smith said and weve- got the asbestos suits and air 1 packs to help also the air packs we use are in perfect order every time we use them which is almost for every- fire they have all been fine weve hadno problems with them however there are about 100 firefighters a year who lose their lives in the line of duty in north american fire depart ments according to statistics provided by the international fire fighters association s unfortunately these statistics are not tied in with present day break- downs in equipment although one report in the united states a decade ago blamed 25 per cent of fire injuries on the equipment when asked what he considered to be the most dangerous part of his firefighting job mr smith replied that pretty near everything is dangerous when you are dealing with a fire luckily v though ive never been hurt when fighting one and in fact no one has been seriously hurt since ive been here mr smith has been involved with a lot of fires as his career spans over 31 years ive seen a -lot- of changes in fighting fires over the years mr smith commented one of the main ones being the improvement in clothing 30 years ago there was noasbestosaothingwe had juso a rubber rairi coat the equipment is jbetter alsomuch faster and easier to operate c another big change is in the response time now every- volunteer in town has a bell in their home and place of work so they can get to a fire a we definitely need that much protection- the weight is not that bad in the winter but in the summertime it feels twiceas heavy manufacturers are looking into ways to improve equipment and clothing and there is hew safer t but more expensive coat on the market now which brings up the problem of municipalities trying to decide on whether to buy the latest equipment or not in one example the toronto fire department will spend 200000 over to air the next three years replace existing packs with a mask safety- tested in us space agency labs mr smith though feels that the town does not need any more equipment at the present time whet we have is very adequate and i cant see the need for anything else in the near future the whole question of equipment- becomes academic however whenever the fire bell rings mr smith knows he has a job to do and does it the best way he can nbw pay later
