Mr. and Mrs. Lindsay Durnin of Scarborough spent several days in Goderich and visited relatives and friends Dungannon Doings there and in Dungannon and Crewe areas, Sunday visitors with Mr. and Mrs. Hugh McWhinney were their family, Mr. and Mrs. Bob McWhinneyand family; Mr. and Mrs. Ken Murch and Vincent, of Clin- ton; Mrs. Chambers and family of Goderich; Mr, and Mrs. Jim McWhinney of Wingham and her parents,' Mr. and Mrs. Clifford Aiken and her brother, Calvin Aiken from Fullarton.

Erland Lee help- ed Mrs. Adelaide Hoodless to form the Women's Insti- tute and Mrs. Erland Lee wrote its first constitution. The table she wrote at is still in the home along with many lot of people have some pretty strange ideas about_ Canada's immigi ation law And, as a result, a lot of p.......: people suffer from believing then. The fact is, the most reliable information comes from us. In other countries, we're in Canadian Government visa offices. Here at home, it's your Canada Immigration Centre. If you know someone who'll have to pass through Canadian Immigration in the near future, you'd be doing them a favour by pointing them in our direc- tion. Especially now that there's a new immigration law. Now,,the new law doesn't mean a lot of changes for the average immigrant or visitor. Here, nevertheless, are a few Ly thin that might affect you or someone you know. From now on, immigrants and those visitors who come here to work or study. must make all immigration arrangements before arriving in Canada. No one may change his or her status while inside Canada. Remember that money can't, buy your way into Canada. All the help you need is free at any Canadian Government visa office -or Canada Immigration . Centre. Canadian immigration officers do not discriminate on the grounds of colour, race or religion. Ever. Anew adjudication system gives greater protection to the civil rights of people involved in immigration proceedings. And deportation will no longer be the only possible penalty. There are no'w less drastic alternatives .,for minor infractions of immigration law. The ,new law does not make immigration easier, but it does make it more pre- dictable. If you need to know more, ask at a Canada Immigration Centre. If you know someone abroad who needs information, tell them to contact their Canadian l ;overnment visa office before they make a move. That way, they'll know exactly where t hey stand when they step off the plane.
