At the same time the money will go toward fighting cancer. Last year the Huron County unit had a successful year raising over •$50,000. The campaign raised 823,000 and 827,000 was donated. This year the target for the unit is $40,200 with $6,800 set as a goal for Clinton. April will be Cancer Month all over Canada. The fund- raising target for the whole of Canada for 1978 has been set at 827 million. The Huron County Unit held a meeting at the Wesley - Willis United church in Clinton February 27 to discuss the plans for the upcoming campaign. Several of the 25 members who at- tended had been at the CCS conference in Toronto January 21 and 22 and they had new suggestions for campaign programs. A flag - raising ceremony to kick off the campaign and bicycle and walking marathons to raise money were suggested. It was pointed out that rural canvassing is especially important in Huron County as one-third of the homes are located in rural areas. The motto for the society is "fellow fighters for the battle of life," said Helen Davies, chairman of the meeting. Funds raised are used for research, supplies, service and transportation of cancer patients. Clinton Brownies hold thinking day On Wednesday February 22, the 2nd Clinton Brownie Pack had a party.

Horticultural Society plan Rose Nighc The Clinton Horticultural Society, at their monthly meeting on February 22 learned that the year books will be given out at the March 22 meeting in the Clinton Town Hall. Mrs. Durst also reminded the group that the March meeting will be Rose Night and the guest speaker will be Rev. Stinson of Fordwich. Rev. Stinson is well-known and very knowledgeable about roses and he also has a beautiful slide presentation. Mrs. Davies showed slides at the meeting, and illustrated all the wonderful ways that the cancer society is helping patients with cancer. The group then went cruising down Canada's west coast with the Powells and it was a delightful trip. It was easily seen that the beauty of Canada is surely without comparison. Mr. Powell's father worked over this route many years ago and it was for this reason that the Powells were anxious to retreat these miles into all the little inlets. They travelled by train to Vancouver, through all the magnificent mountains, then took a small plane to Ocean Falls and met Captain Oliver Howard who is in charge of the mission boat, 44 Th e Crosby." The boat is well equipped but small and room is at a premium with the crew and perhaps 20 travellers. Meals were bountiful and good and everyone was kind and helpful. "The Crosby" carried a motor boat as it was not possible for the larger boat to enter many of the inlets. Most of the places on call have been busy centres with a great many buildings, but now most are in charge of lonely caretakers and little work being done. A floating store, well equipped, supplied the needs of these isolated people as well as passing boats. The Powells were 10 days on the boat and want to go back and this time they will know where to look for extra beauty. Following their presen- tation, Miss Marquis moved a vote of thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Powell for sharing with the beauty and interest with the Horticultural Society. Mrs. Williams explained that she has already rounded up work power, including some men this year for all the many public flower gardens. The society is looking for- ward to excellent displays this year. Slides where then shown, sent by MacKenzie Steele Be Sure To See Sunday, March5th SHOP THESE WEEKLY SPECIALS AND SAVE!
