Dear Editor:
"Voluntarism is an action straight from
the heart„ a way of forging links between
people, a way of guaranteeing greater
humanity and a solid foundation for
civilization and social innovation". We can
all agree with these words of Patricia
Fulton, President of the Canada Volunteer
Award, National Selection Committee.
Each year Federal Health & Welfare
Canada search in all communities to honor
individuals who have made a remarkable
and continuing contribution in promoting
health and social services in their com-
munity. They need your help!
I was fortunate to receive this award in
1984, thanks to the Goderich Legion for
submitting my name. That year most of
the recipients were from rural
communities.
The selection committee is uniquely
made from the volunteer sector across
Canada and give careful consideration to
each nomination. I have a copy of the ap-
plication form for this award, and would
welcome calls regarding the criteria in-
volved for submitting a name. Nomina-
tions must be submitted to the Canada
Volunteer Award Secretariate before
December 1 each year. Voluntary
organizations, community groups, in-
dividuals interested in submitting a
nomination, please write to the
Secretariate, Department of National
Health & Welfare, Brooke Claxton
Building, Rm. 534, Tunney's Pasture, Ot-
tawa, Ontario K1A OK9.

To the Editor:
We are thrilled with the response to the
UNICEF collection. A total of $890 was col-
lected by students of Lucknow Central and
Brookside Schools. Because area residents
TO
gave so generously, this is far more than
double last year's total.
Thanks go to the local newspaper staff
for putting a UNICEF article on the front
page. When people work together, the
goals and projects of UNICEF will be
accomplished.
Lucknow CGIT members promoted the
collection, counted and rolled the money
(14,400 pennies) . They thank each student
and each person who donated. You have a
part in giving millions of children a better
tomorrow.

Dear Editor,
The Lucknow and District Kinsmen Club
are preparing a new fund raiser for the
Cystic Fibrosis research.
Most of your readers likely don't know,
that one in every 20 Canadians carry the
gene that causes Cystic Fibrosis. C.F. is
second only to cancer among health pro-
blems, in taking the lives of children in
Canada. There is no known cure, or control
for C.F. This is where we need the help of
the community.
On Nov. 14 the Lucknow and District
Kinsmen Club will be pumping gas at some
of the local gas stations. The sponsering
stations will have a sign saying, Pump }
your Money into C.F. All profits of that
day's gas sales will be donated for C.F.
research. So please come out, fill your gas
tank, and breathe a breath of fresh air into
Cystic Fibrosis Research.
Your local C.F. Rep.,
T. Andrew
Foster parents were honored at a banquet hosted by Family and Children's Services
in Huron County last week. Recipients of certificates included (left to right) Russell
and Verona Snider of Zurich, George and Lorraine Brophy of Lucknow, Harold and
Phyllis Parsons of Kippen and Albert and Doris Shilbe of Bayfield. (Shelley McPhee
