Although, such a range of activi- ties is available, no one will be forced to take part if they do not wish to do so. The main hope for the program is to provide a happy, relaxed day away, among friends. Because of the proximity and gen- erosity. of Craigholme, services such as the whirlpool bath, foot care, exercise equipment, eye and car doctors will be available to clients. One of the most important as- pects in a neral arca is the availabili- ty of transportation. This will be provided at a cost of S2 daily, by Craigholnlc van and volunteer driv- ers. The daily user fee of S8 will in- clude a full course hot meal, and will be available Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday each week. The Ministry of Community and Social Services provides seventy per cent funding with the remainder be- ing raised through involved munici- palities and local service clubs. - Although there are two employed staff to co-ordinate tlie program, a large part of its success will depend on volunteers, both for driving and assisting in the daily programs. Referrals from doctors, minister, home care, friends or self -referral will be responilcd to by a honk vis- it from Day Centre staff who will explain the program and assess the needs of the individual. Bushels for Bread project planned at Brinsley church The launching of a fund-raising campaign for thc•Bushcls for Bread project for Ethiopia will be held at the Brinsley Anglican Church.

He made emergency camp, and sent a runner to the nearest town with a tele- gram toEngland asking that the factory arrange repairs. Within a few weeks a pair of mechanics arrived with tools and parts, and put the car back on the road the same day. In due time the owner arrived back home, expecting to find a whopping repair bill in his mail. There was no bill. He wrote the Company, reminding them of the peculiar circumstances and asking for a statement of his account. When the reply came, it stated flatly that there was nothing in their records to suggest that there had ever been a Rolls Royce automobile with a broken suspension. Now, we're not prepared to go that far; Africa is out of our territory. However, from Lucan to Blyth, from the day we start it up until five years later, if any re- pair labour becomes necessary on any Lerinox.Pulse furnace we install, we will provide it without charge. We sort of wish they came with a shiny radiator cap with a pretty lady on it. Hensall Serv.nq fro(n Lucas r0 Blyth INSTALLED BY Ltd.
