On that day, people across Canada and around the world will be running, walk- ing, and jogging, for Terry Fox and his dream that a cure for cancer will be found. Thousands of others will be participating by help- ing on run day, collecting donations and sponsoring runners. The overall objec- tive for this year's run is to involve more Canadians in r all aspects of the event. To raise funds for cancer research, a series of special 10 km runs will be organized by communities throughout Canada under the guidance of the Canadian Cancer Society, the Canadian Track and Field Association, Fitness and Amateur Sport, Canada and Four Seasons Hotels. Last year, over 200,000 Canadians took up the torch for The Terry Fox Run by participating in one of the Y 1,195 organized run sites. Thousands of others helped to perpetuate Terry's dream by volunteering to organize a run site, supporting the run with pledges, helping the day of the run and assisting in the collection of donations. In total over $2.4 million was raised for cancer research. "Participation in Terry Fox Runs at 21 Canadian - Armed Forces Bases and Stations in such places as Tokyo, Rome, Brunnsum Canadians spending less If you've felt squeezed by inflation and rising food prices over the past year, here's news that may sur- prise you: Canadians are ac- tually spending less of their incomes on food than ever before. The trend toward food tak- ing a smaller share of disposable income, which has been underway in Canada for many years, con- tinued in 1982 despite the recession, the Grocery Pro- ducts Manufacturers of Canada reported today. In the 1983 edition of an an- nual publication, "Food Prices and Profits", the GPMC reported figures from Statistics Canada showing that Canadians spent only 16.4 per cent of their per- sonal disposable income on food and non-alcoholic beverages last year. "This was all the more significant in view of the fact that real disposable income (discounted for inflation) fell 1.3 per cent in 1982 because of the recession," the GPMC said. In 1981, according to Statistics Canada, the share of personal disposable in- come spent on food at home Wanted: a beautiful town SEAFORTH - Seaforth's Horticultural Society would like town council to beautify the town. But not all coun- cillors feel that's the municipality's job. Council could set aside funds and beautify a dif- ferent section of town each year, suggested Society president, Ruth Beaut- tenmiller, in a presentation to council on July 12. "I'd like to see Seaforth with a bit of green on the main street...it's now nothing but wall." There's "no public plan- ning at all at the main in- tersection," and some is badly needed, added Gladys Doig, longtime chairman of the Society's civic im- provement committee. The entrances to the town are the third area the women suggest could . use some beautification. While Hen - sail's new entrance on High- way 4 is "beatiful and in- viting," Seaforth has ab- solutely nothing," the president said. Grants are not available and the BIA would have to get a loan for beautification and pay it back, councillor Paul Ross said. "The BIA would be very interested in co-operating with you. I agree the town could stand some beautifying." eke.- " and away trona dome was 16.9 per cent, while ten years earlier the same figure was substantially higher at 18.3 per cent. Statistics Canada figures for the share of personal disposable income spent on food purchased at stores tell a similar story, with 12.4 per cent being spent in 1982, 12.6 per cent in 1981 and 14.3 per cent in 1971. The pamphlet also notes an increasingly serious pro- blem with profitability in the grocery industry. "For the fourth year in a row," says the GPMC, "profitability in the food and beverage industry declined in 1982." Last year's after-tax profit per dollar of sales was 1.74. cents, according to Statistics Canada. In 1980 the same figure was 2.25 cents, down from 2.63 in 1978. Last year's industry sales totalled $31.7 billion, com- pared to $27.6 million in 1980 and $21.6 billion in 1978. The GPMC also pointed out that "Japan has nothing on Canada's agri-food system," in the area of pro- viding a wide range of grocery products at reasonable prices. In 1980, in Japan, the percentage of disposable in- come spent on food was 24.8 compared to 17.3 per cent in Canada. In 1978, the Japanese spent 25.9 per cent of their disposable income on €off, while Canadians spent. only i`j.5 per cent. Two -car accident claims one life Randy Schmidt, 31, of Goderich was killed and three others were injured in a two -car accident on Highway 8 near the VLA subdivision just outside Goderich Friday evening about 8:30 p.m. Larry Young, 33, of Goderich, driver of the car in which Schmidt was a passenger, was taken to Alexandra Marine and General Hospital in Goderich where he was listed in satisfactory condition. Mark Culbert, 28, of Goderich, another passenger, was taken to Victoria Hospital in London where he was listed in serious condition. The driver of the second car, Laura Jean Smith, 58, of London was also taken to Victoria Hospital where she was listed in fair condition. The accident occurred when the north- bound car driven by Young was turning left off Highway 8 into the VLA and was struck on the passenger side by the Smith vehicle which was heading south out of Goderich. The accident is still under investigation by the local detachment of the OPP and charges are pending. A sale sign won't be successful in ridding your lawn of unwanted weeds.

"Total funds raised at these sites tripled this year adding $27,500 for cancer research in Canada and abroad," he added. "The understanding and good will generated worldwide on this special day makes one especially proud to be Canadian." Terry's Run Terry Fox was the 22 year- old amputee who lost his right leg to cancer in 1977. Vowing to take himself to the limit for the cancer cause, Terry embarked on a cross - Canada run in April 1980 to raise funds for research. Halfway through his run the cancer spread to his lungs and he was forced to discon- tinue his Marathon of Hope. But the momentum he established grew and the en- tire country was inspired to carry on his quest. "The Terry Fox Run has become an annual fundrais- ing event for the Terry Fox Cancer Research Fund and we will not stop until a cure for cancer is found. Terry Fox's courage and deter- mination is an inspiration to us all. He will continue to be in our hearts and our minds every year until the battle against cancer is won," said Isadore Sharp, chairman and president of the Four Seasons Hotels. "The success of The Terry Fox Run is because of the tremendous effort made by people around the world. That effort has made Terry's dream a reality in the form of the Terry Fox Cancer Research Fund. We are now closer than ever to understanding and finding a cure for this devastating disease that affects one in five Canadians," said Maurice Legault, president of the Canadian Cancer Society. Runs Across The Country Communities, schools, associations and corpora- tions have been asked by Betty L. Fox, Honorary Chairman of the Terry Fox Run to get involved and organize their own run sites. A special effort is being made to encourage Canada's 15,282 schools to organize run sites. Elementary, secondary, colleges, univer- sities and private schools have received organizer kits on how to set up their own Terry Fox Run. In her letter to the schools, Betty Fox states "My son's dream to raise money for research to find a cancer cure continues through The Terry Fox Run. His dream must not die; we need your support to perpetuate his Marathon of Hope. All that is needed is to find that 'so- meone' in your school willing to take up the organizing challenge." "The Terry Fox Run heads into its third year with all the strength of purpose that does credit to the memory of the extraordinary young Cana- dian who inspired the event. But this Run will only be a success if Canadians care enough to involve themselves in Terry's dream again this year and every year until cancer is beaten. I urge all Canadians to par- ticipate," said The Honourable Ray Perrault, Minister of State, Fitness and Amateur Sport, Canada. er The Runs which are held on accurately measured 10 km courses are located in a safe environment such as a park. Courses will be open all day allowing participants to run, jog or walk the route at their own pace. Pledge forms will be used to collect funds for the Run and dona- tions may be made by in- dividuals, business groups or families. Groups setting up a run site in their community can get assistance from the Canadian Track and Field Association through their local Provincial Run Co- ordinator. "The Association can pro- vide technical and organiza- tional information to help an organizer handle the logistics of establishing a 10 km course," said Don Flet- cher, director general of the Canadian Track and Field Association. "As well as the availability of local experts for counsel and advice, we also offer printed background material for run organizers." The four sponsoring organizations have the sup- port of the Fox family to develop this event in which all Canadians will be en- couraged to participate to perpetuate Terry's Marathon of Hope. Pledge sheets, applica- tions to establish courses and locations of run sites are available at the provincial Terry Fox Run offices, as well as branches of the Cana- dian Cancer Society, the Canadian Track and Field Association and Four Seasons Hotels. This year, let's all join forces and make this year's Terry Fox Run an even big- ger success! Hensall council receives petition • from page 1 standards, will be used as a retirement or rest home. Ozimek is not yet sure how many perma- nent staff positions will be provided when the addition is opened, but knows col .'r:'Y struction of the building will supply a' number of temporary jobs with first prldi+i- ty given to those whose unemploysdgtit in- surance benefits have run out. Reeve Harry Klungel said he was very impressed with the plans for the proposed addition. (As a former owner, he is quite familiar with the Queensway home). "We're very proud of it," Ozimek said, and Klungel agreed that "Hensall can be proud too." Acting on requests from Usborne township to have all township households included in the plan of operation for the Hensall landfill site, and Tuckersmith's re- quest tt. consider an operational agree- ment for approximately 101 residents in that township to dispose of their garbage in the Heimall site, council passed a motion requesting that the two townships absorb the costs related to an engineer's study on all matters pertaining to joint use of the landfill site. The ministry of transportation and com-, emunication has approved reconstruction of York Street, and paving of Oxford and Brock Streets. The contract was awarded to Lavis Construction. A petition from a majority of homeowners on King Street west of the railway tracks asking for grass boulevards set off a discussion. Coun- cillors Cecil Pepper and John Robinson said council should uphold the original agreement with MTC for asphalt. "I'm prepared to go along with the peo- ple. I was put into office by the people, and it the majority want grass, I go for grass," Irene Davis said. Reeve Klungel and councillor Dick Peckham voted with Davis that, subject to ministry approval, the boulevards be grass instead of asphalt. Council agreed to participate in the awarding of prizes in the most improved property contest scheduled for centennial year in 1984.

Because of their concern, some changes to fishing regulations are in the offing. A meeting was held last week with representatives from the Ministry of Natural Resources, and commercial fishermen in the area. Ashfield residents, especially those who live along the lake, were concerned with the commercial fishermen spreading their nets along the shore, a possible hazard for boaters and swimmers on Ashfield beaches. Residents were also concerned that the commercial fishermen were fishing their beaches clean, leaving nothing for sports fishermen in the area. A compromise was reached between spokesmen for the fishing and resident groups. The commercial fishermen will promise to stay 500 metres off the shore during the summer months of June, July and August. The new regulation will apply to the shoreline along all of Huron County, and will be enforced by the ministry. Although the spokesmen for ,the two groups had yet to bring the proposal to their members, they were personally satisfied with the compromise. Bob McGraw, president of the Huron County Commercial Fishermen Association, said the cottagers had reason to be concerned about com- mercial fishermen who fished so ciose to the shore. "We do respect the recreation people," he stated. The only complaints that he knew of were coming from Ashfield and Port Albert. He did say that some fishermen would not be pleased with the new limit. Geoffrey Walker, secretary of the Ash- field Lakefront Association, said they had reached "a tentative agreement" which he is would bring back to Ashfield residents. He had previously circulated a petition around the township to be sent to Alan Pope, the Minister of Natural Resources. He got 200 signatures on the petition asking the minister to restrict up to one mile off shore for sports fishermen. At an earlier meeting, Walker drew up a list of complaints and opinions of some Ash- field residents. The chief concerns included: the threat posed by commercial fishermen to swimmers, boaters, loons and diving ducks; the fact that nets were in as little as six feet of water, that fishermen could net during the spawning season, and that there was no control of quantity taken in the Ash- field area. Walker is primarily concerned with the perch fishing off his beaches. He says that a commercial fishermen spent five days at theend of June fishing for perch close to his home and cleaned the area right out. Walker says it will take up to five years for the perch to come back to the same place, because the spawning fish were also caught. But McGraw, himself a commercial fisherman in the Bayfield area, says this is not true; that fish regularly move away from the shore in the warm weather, and will probably move back closer to the shore later on in the summer. Mike Malhiot, from the Ministry of Natural Resources, says there are no restrictions now on commercial fishermen except for the length of nets they can spread in the water, and the mesh size of the nets. In 1984, however, the ministry will start a new system of management, imposing quotas on licensed fishermen. He thinks "that should also help to resolve the problem," because fishermen can catch their quotas, by species, in the spring and fall, and leave the lake free in the summer for recreation. -••sfi9 STARTS SUNDAY, 10 A.M.-5 P.M.! sail Ay° ALEXANIAN CARPET STORE WIDE CARPET SALE 7 days only Starts Sunday — July 31 to August 6 All 1 st quality carpet stock reduced to OFF Alex nise everyday price or ANxAnlan cornp.reblo boots price!
