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 Chartered Financial Planner George Godbolt CLU, CFP The Canadian Institute of Financial Planning has awarded the designation of Chartered Financial Planner (CFP) to George Godbolt, an agent for Mutual Life of Canada, Mutual Investco Inc., two companies of The Mutual Group The CFP designation is awarded on the successful completion u' a three year course of study in financial, investment, and taxation matters Companies of The Mutual Group offer a wide range of linancial products and services to individuals and businesses MAJ The Mutual Group multi-vitamins. 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 Anyone interested in contacung Family to Family can write to them at City Centre Towers, 380 Well- ington Rd, Box 23055, London.
