dance. President H.E. Rorke, who has held
the chair for two years, resigned. After

TORONTO - With 23 per cent of the Terry
Fox Run sites still to report, Canadians have
raised $2,921,861.96 in pledges, a 10 percent
increase over the 1983 total.
"With the participation and support of
Canadians, our hopes for a bigger and better
Run have been realized," said Linda Shier,
National Run Co-ordinator of the Sept. 23
fundraisii,g, event.
"As was Terry's wish all she money
pledged will be given to the Marathon of
Hope Research Fund, which is dedicated to
the fight against cancer.'
"Our sincere thanks to all Canadians who
took part in the Run, sponsored a
participant, or cheered us on." The co-
ordinator also thanked the 14,700 volunteers
"who gave us the time, support, and many
months of hard work necessary to make the
Run a reality and a success."
Both the highest in participation per
capita and the highest rate of dollars
pledged per capita was the Northwest
Territories, followed by Prince Edward
Island and Nova Scotia.
The prairies weathered Severe storms on
Sept. 23 which caused a postponement to the
following Sunday. Run organizers reported
that extra momentum seemed to gather
after the delay, which resulted in
Saskatchewan topping the list with an
average of $31.00 of pledges raised per
runner.
"The thousands of Canadians and
volunteers who got involved in the event
should feel a sense of great'
accomplishment," said Isadore Sharp,
Chairman and President of Four Seasons
Hotels, a sponsor of the event. She made her
comments on behalf of theCanadian Cancer
Society and Fitness and Amateur Sport,
Canada.

There appears to be little hope of an early
settlement of a strike at Bendix Home
Systems plant in Iensall that has 285
employees out on the picket line.
The employees, members of Local 3054 d
the United Brotherhood of Carpenters
Joiners of America, voted 222 to 45 last Fri-
day to go out on strike. On Monday morning,
picket lines were set up outside the plant.
The union is asking for a $1.35 wage in-
crease in a two-year contract as well as a
cost -of -living clause raising wages one per
cent an hour for every .4 cent increase ar the
cost -of -living index. The company
of-
fered $1.30 per hour and has agreed to the
cost -of -living clause but wants a maximum
10 cent an hour a year for two years.
A possible three way race, for Warden of
Huron County is predicted for January.
Three candidates have already formally an-
nounced their intention to seek the post.
They are Reeve Anson McKinley, Stanley
Township; Reeve Allan Campbell, McKillop
Township, and Reeve Harold Lobb, Clinton.
Murray East of Clinton was the top sharp-
