Zurich reeve Bob Fisher (left) accepts a plaque from Canada Post's Tom Creech Thursday eve-
ning. The plaque features an enlargement of a new stamp that is part of a series honouring
75 years of hockey. The hockey player featured on the stamp is Zurich's own Babe Siebert in
his Montreal Maroons uniform, the team he played with from 1925-32. The Zurich arena, a
likely destination for the plaque, was dedicated to Slebert's memory.
Applicants from former Eastern Bloc
Looking to pair Huron families
EXETER - A London agency is
looking for local families to link up
with families of the former Eastern
Bloc countries.
Sylvia Fleming of Family to
Family, spoke at a meeting of Time
Out at the Exeter United Church
two weeks ago, and says she is in-
terested in finding more people
who are interested in her organiza-
tion's program to provide humani-
tarian aid to families in Russia, Ro-
mania, Latvia, Bulgaria, and other
countries that used to be behind the
Iron Curtain.
The agency has placed advertise-
ments with the eastern countries'
newspapers, radio, and television,
and the program is also being pro-
moted through embassies. So far,
Fleming says Family to Family has
received 10,000 letters from people
seeking help. By mid-July, the
agency passed the 1,000 number of
Canadian families registered with
their eastern counterparts.
While local families can and do
send small aid packages to their
matched families, Fleming notes
that the main hope of the program
is to provide encouragement to peo-
ples who are struggling with a dras-
tic change in lifestyle shift as their
economies abandon the communist
system. When writing letters, how-
ever, Canadians are asked not to
criticize the former communist re-
gimes.
Aid packages, costing about $20,
can contain items such as dehydrat-
ed soup packages, tea bags, tuna, or
even chocolate, chewing gum, or

All recipient families write letters
to their Canadian sponsors and
many pride themselves on their
English skills. In fact, says Flem-
ing, many Canadians might be sur-
prised to find how highly educated
these people are, but unable to find
work in a devastated economy.
Family to Family was founded by
London minister David Lewis, who
says he was moved by televised re-
ports of Soviet families struggling
to feed their children.
Fleming has been tounng-there-
gion, visiting with groups interest-
ed in the agency's efforts. She says
she will be glad to bring her mes-
sage to anyone interested.
"We will go out and speak at
mens' groups or ladies groups," she
said, noting she was pleased with
the response at the Exeter United
Church
