It is also designed to improve communication and John Schneiker, centre, and Wayne Doak, both of Goderich, didn't seem to mind giving their pint of blood at the annual fall Blood bonor Clinic of the Canadian Red Cross Society last Wednesday evening. With so many good looking volunteers around to take the donations, who would mind? The clinic is reported to have been very successful, despite inclement weather and Mrs. Frank J.

The arms, the first complete hydraulic prosthesis. to be worn by a patient, are the latest product of a co-operative toIAeEdito2 BIAFRA PEACE DAY I think you may like to know that Thursday, November 27; has been designated as Biafra Peace Day, which will be observed throughout Canada. The purpose of the day is to mobilize Canadians to mourn the tragedy of the Nigeria/Biafra war through direct and positive action for peace. This, activity will seek to impress upon our own Government and other involved foreign governments, that concerned people in Canada will not be silenced in their persistent cry for diplomatic initiatives toward a ceasefire, and an end to foreign finance and supply of arms which have already cost two million lives. The plans for this day are being co-ordinated by Interpax, P.O. Box 399K, Toronto. It is hoped that organizations and individuals throughout the country will in some way be able to show their concern for . this appalling tragedy. Some of the activities which have been suggested to be organized by local groups are as follows: (1) Church vigils (2) Fasts (3) - Meetings and rallies at city halls around the noon hour to include women and school children (4) collection of . petitions (text attached) to be sent to the Canadian and British governments (5) visits by large groups of citizens to their local M:P.'s or M.P.P.'s (6) letter writing and telegram campaigns to the Prime Minister (7) peaceful demonstrations (8) fundraising projects for the relief operation. T. H. G. Fletcher, . Executive Director. 1 WITH THIS COUPON ONLY' 20% OFF II 1 AL.LBOXESOF CHRiSTMASCAR�S� iRIECK agreement between government, industry and medical agencies to provide the most advanced prosthesis devices for Canadians, and the world. Operating on established hydraulic principles, the arm is controlled by y electrical and/or mechanical devices located on the patient's body. A battery supplies power to operate a miniature high-speed electric motor -hydraulic pump combination, which sends fluid through ' flexible plastic tubing under high pressure to the various hydraulic actuators. The arms are light, with every effort made - to give them a life -like appearance. Modular design helps in fitting the prosthesis to patients of varying physical size or degrees of • amputation. The obvious advantages of these new arms to the older models are their superior strength, - ease of- control, smoothness of operation, low noise level, reliability and resistance to damage by dirt particles. One measure of the effectiveness of the IRAP can be gauged by the projected time of ,completion of projects being submitted, according to G. V. Donaldson, Assistant Secretar`' ' 'ow of the IRAP committee. "During the early years, companies made requests for suppprt of projects expected to last an average of just three years -- hardly enough time to. launch any major undertaking. Now, most of the proposals received request support for the present maximum of five yearp, and some will require many more years of funding by the company to reach fruition. This is a significant shift and we like to think our program is encouraging industrial companies to plan farther into the future," he says. To help you plan Farther into the future and make good things happen to you, join the several other millions of' Canadians supporting the current bond drive. Canada Savings Bonds continue to be a unique investment. They are an essential element in the, Government of Canada's financing program. They offer a wide range of individual Canadians an opportunity to contribute to our national growth and development, and this yearthey give you the best return ever! 4 FEATURE USED CAR BUYS from McGEE'S 1968 CHEV.
