Flowers of Hope campaign begins By Roberta Walker GRAND BEND - Flowers of Hope 1992 began their campaign with their -annual Captains Dinner, held at ARC Industries on April 7. Henry VanEssen, President of Community Living, South Huron, welcomed all the captains and vol- unteers who will be conducting a door to door canvass in the month of May. The target for the '1992 fund rais- er is S15,000 for assisting those people in our -community who have a mental handicap. Most govern- ment program don't cover the entire cost of assistive devices, like spe- cial shoes, and dentures aren't cov- ered at all. ' Money from Flowers of Hope also goes toward supporting the swimming -program for children with Challenging Learning Needs at McCurdy, or for Youth Involve- ment Ontario, a CLN teen support group at Exeter High School. Last years' campaign was scaled down to a mail -out, but due to en- thusiastic grass roots support, the majority of communities in the area will be conducting the canvass this year. Ila Mathers, chair of the fund- raising committee, gave an update to the captains and distributed the canvassing material. Monday, June 1 is the date of the Captains Tea, when all money and receipts are to be returned.

The media, magazines, newspapers and television, occasional- ly produce reports that Canada is running out of cemetery space. They often are rather speculative, and contain some un- believable statistics about how soon we will run out of room to bury our dead. This problem is highly exaggerated, we assure you. Except in a very few isolated cases, the cities are not yet so vast nor so dense that we have used up our cemeteries. Plenty of space is available, at least for the foreseeable future. Full funeral services, followed by burial, remain the choice of most people for their departed loved ones. As funeral directors, we can provide you general informatipn about the cemeteries in our area and advise lou in your funeral planning decisions. Please call us or stop by if you would like more information.
