Members Now Know TOPS Really Works Several weeks ago we made mention of a new group being formed In Wingham, the TOPS Club (Take Off Pounds Sensi- bly), and in case anyone has been wondering whether or not she should join we can now re- port that the members are hav- ing excellent results. There are 14 members but attendance at each meeting is usually 16 or 17. As the club grew in numbers it was neces- sary to find a meeting place other than in the homes and ar- rangements were made to use the Legion Home. Meetings are held Tuesday mornings at ten o'clock. In the five weeks the girls have been getting together 13 members have lost an aggre- gate of 95 pounds. Several members have lost ten pounds during that time. At the moment the morning sessions are most convenient for those who attend, but if enough people become interested it may be possible to form a sec- ond group to meet at another time. Anyone who would seriously like to lose a few pounds is wel- come to join TOPS, so why not drop into the Legion Home on Tuesday morning and see for yourself what goes on?

Unicef Collectors Help Plant Seeds For Better Future There is more than meets the eye in Hallowe'en, the children's festival that binds to- gether past, present and future. Centuries ago, Hallowe'en was the Eve of All Hallows' Day, the day when men remembered all the saints, all the good peo- ple who lived and died to make the world a better place. Today, Hallowe'en has kept much of its ancient form, bur' the supernatural aura has faded. The ghosts who stalk the Hal- lowe'en darkness these days are our own youngsters delighting in dressing up, staying up late, and collecting good things to eat. But just as today's Hallowe'- en grew out of the past, so too it contains the seeds of the fu- ture. because the little people these days are not collecting just for themselves. Every year, more and more of them are carrying UNICEF Hallowe'en boxes, collecting pennies and nickels and dimes for the Unit- ed Nations Children's Fund. And the coins they collect are used by UNICEF to provide health and hope for less fortun- ate children around the world. And that is where the future comes in. When we help the world's children to a good start in life now, we build a better world tomorrow. So this Hallowe'en, when the ghosts come calling, re- member that they are com- memorating all the good peo- ple of the past - and that your coins in the UNICEF box will make a better world in the fu- ture. In Wingham members of the C.G.I. T. will call at the homes on Hallowe'en afternoon as they have done for over ten years. • institute Votes Award For Student in Home Vic.
