We ;are now ,almost halt -
way through the Internation

Organizations in this com-
munity have been observing
the United Nations - pro-

ways, and this newspaper
wound like to mention one of
therm.
The Bruce chapter of the
Multiple Sclerosis Society of
Canada will be conducting its
' MS Carnation Day_Cam-
paign here the week of May
4th to 9th. The thrust of the
campaign is > twofold One
objective is to raise funds to
support services for those
who have this desvastating
disease and to support re-
search that will ultimately ,.
wipe out MS. The other
objective is perhaps more
subtle, but just as important;'
to remind us of the thous-
ands of Canadians who live
bravely with multiple scler-
osis day after' day..
"Residents of Lucknow
can all . be beautiful`people
this week by wearing carna-
tions. This years -campaign
slogan is: "Ws a beautiful
way to help fight multiple
sclerosis," said Margaret
Bannerman, campaign chair-
person.
S
Multiple sclerosis is a pot-
entially crippling disease of
the central nervous ,„system
affecting an estimated 35,000
Canadians. It is most tom-
” mon neurological disease of
young adttlts.It may cause
eyesight to fail, hands to
shake, legs to become so C
weak that standing and walk-
ing are impossible: Hut the
MS people are fighters. They.
try not to let their illnessstop
them " from working' and
raising their families. They
are important involved com-
munity members.
To do ' this they need a
little help from the rest of us.
The help can be official in
terms' of providing transpor-
tation for the disabled, acces-
sible buildings and ramped
sidewalks. Or help ' can be
personal such as not letting a
disability stand in the way of
• a job offer. It can also be
direct such as contributing to
the MS Carnation .,Day Cam-
' paign with 'a donation or
volunteer time.
When you see the small
boxes of carnation symbols in
local stores this week `reach
into your pocket, then reach
out and help'.
