"Shop Canada" is the theme of
a promotion to convince'
Canadians to look' for Canadian
products when shopping. Why
not buy Canadian products when
they are available? Become aware
of the number of Canadian Made
products that are available. If we
buy "Canadian" we are doing our
bit to provide jobs, increase
industrial strength and help to
make Canada more competitive 'in
foreign markets. ';Shop
Canada", Why help to swell the
coffer's of other countries when
Canadian made; or grown
products, are as good, Or better,
than any other.

At long last, Brussels is about
to get its much-awaited drug,
store.
Walter Hackbart has sold
Hackbart's Department STore to
Jack Stewart of Stewart's
Pharmacy in Mildmay. The deal
closed last week and somewhere
around the first of September,
Kang Yoon, a pharmacist who has
been working in Stewart's
Pharmacy in Palmerston will be in
the Brussels drug store to serve
people here. Kang Yoon is 30
years old, married and has a
Donors Clinic. An average of 8 to
10 units of blood are used for
open heart. surgery. So many
times for so many people, blood,
donated by others, is a life-saving
necessity. If there is a Blood
Clinic held in your ,'Community
why not attend and *give your
"Gift of Life" for someone who
urgently needs it. Your donation
may save the life of someone near
and dear to you. It might even be
your own life you will save.
