Miles for millions walk day
A National Walk Day has
been declared for Saturday, May
3, and many communities across
Canada are planning "Miles for
Millions" walks on that day to
aid the poor and hungry in the
world's developing countries.
There are indications that as
many as 500,000 Canadians may
be on the march, all of them
supported by sponsors who
pledge to donate anywhere from
10 cents up for each mile
walked.
"We're anxious to hear from
all communities that want to
organize walks and we can
supply them with information
and other help," said Elizabeth
ane}, secretary. of „tie atonal
,alk_onxrnittee, wi►ch.;ls made
up of representatives of 14
major charitable agencies in
Canada working in the field of
international aid.
a• G4,
0 '
Over 50 communities have
already indicated their plans for
walks on May 3, although some
have chosen other dates in the
spring or even in the fall. Local
'committees in each community
decide whether to hold a .walk
and• where the proceeds should
go.
"The national committee is
made up of agencies with much
experience in international aid
and was formed to help the local
committees, not only in
organizing walks but in putting
the proceeds to work to do the
most good," said Mrs. Kane.
Agencies represented on the
National Walk Committee are, in
alpihabetical, lorder: Canadian
y Hunger ,..'Foundation, Canadian
Save the Children Fund,
Canadian UNICEF Committee,
Canadian University Service
Overseas, Canadian Y.M.C.A.
•
World Service, Care of Canada,
Development and Peace, Foster
Parents Plan (Canada),
Operation Crossroads Africa,
Overseas Book Centre, Oxfam of
Canada, UNESCO Gift Coupon
Programme, World Literacy of
Canada and World University
Service of Canada.
The walks were started in
1967 as a Centennial project to
focus the attention of Canadians
on the needs of people in the
world's developing countries.
Last year, over 200,000
Canadians took part in walks in
over 50 communities and raised
about $3 million.

Ontario grain corn was moved to

Canadian Livestock Feed Board
assistance program in 1967-68.

awkwardly placed and offering
little to grasp for balance.
It was also said that a
snowmobile passenger must lean
with the driver on turns, in the
manner of motorcycle riders.
Though the jury made no
recommendations about sale of
snowmobiles, Mr, Cochrane's
questioning made sure the lack.
of control of sales was stressed.
Mr. Argyle affirmed Mr.
Cochrane's statements to the
effect that dealers are under no
more obligation selling a
snowmobile than a power
lawnmower, though
snowmobiles travel to speeds of
more that 50 or 60 m.p.h.
Highway use (any road) of
snowmobiles is limited to
persons 16 years old and is
regulated by traffic laws, but
other than that, Mr. Cochrane
said, "anyone can buy and drive
one - even if he is halt, lame,
blind, anything,"
Data from the Ontario Safety
League indicates that the fatal
accident here was the one in
Ontario to take place off the
highway. At least 29 persons
died so far this year in Ontario
snowmobile accidents. The only
other inquest held so far was in
Bradford and involved a
snowmobile which crashed into
the rear of an improperly
parked car. The jury in that case
recommended better headlights.
