A new executive of Barb Storey, Gerald Groothuis, Barry Cleave, George Townsend and Fred Peel have made some changes necessary for expansion and growth of the event: An auction will be conduct- ed by Jim Campbell at 11 a.m. in the barn section. _ The Farmer's Market will feature local produce and meats. The Blyth Venturers will be selling rutabagas in order to raise funds to go water rafting. Fresh baking, maple syrup, beef, pork and poultry from area farms will be for sale or orders taken. Bothevents offer an opport- nity for the general public to talk directly to the producer or see firsthand the products being sold. A 4-H exhibit will give information on clubs available for participa- tion in 1998. Admission to the event is free, with any proceeds from the day going to local chari- ties.

Daffodil days underway in Seaforth Forget about the snow and the cold. Join the thousands of Canadian Cancer 'Society volunteers who are gearing up for spring and Daffodil Days - taking place this year from April 2 to 5. For more than 40 years - since the first Daffodil Day raised $1,200 in downtown Toronto - daffodil sales have been a major fundraiser for the Society. This year the Society hopes to raise $2 million in Ontario by selling bunches of daf- fodils for $4 each. Across the province, 125,000 volunteers will also.. pound the pavement and knock on doors during April, raising money to con- tinue funding world- renowned cancer research and Canadian Cancer Society programs in every communi- ty across the province. This year the Annual -Campaign goal in 'Ontario is $21 mil- lion. The Canadian Cancer Society is celebrating its 60th Anniversary in 1998. When the organization was formai on March 28. 1938. one in five people treated for cancer recovered successfully. Now, in large part hecausc of Canadian Cancer Society funded research, that figure is one in two. Thanks to the ongoing generosity of donors, the Canadian Cancer Society is now the single largest funder of cancer research in Canada. The facts speak for them- selves. One in three Canadians will develop can- cer in his/her lifetime. Two in three families will have at least one member affected by cancer. The stakes arc high - so please give generously to the Canadian Cancer Society this April during Cancer Month. .
