She was 81 -years -old. Mrs. Forsyth was born in Tuckersmith Township on October 11, 1904 to John and Martha (Wright) Strong. On June 18, 1924, she married Ivan Roy Forsyth in the church Manse in Egmondville. The couple farmed in Tuckersmith Township from 1924 until 1976 when they sold the farm and moved to Egmondville. .Mrs. Forsyth was a member of the Egmondville United Church and a past - president of the Egmondville UCW.

Flower bearers were Michael Ducharme, Dennis Privatt of Kitchener, Ernest Whitehouse of Earnondville and Henry 'tiler The spirit of .achievement Whenever you look these days - east coast, west coast, the prairies - Native -owned and managed businesses and institutions are showing a new spirit of achievement, a spirit of self-determination. ' Over the past few years, CESO, Canadian Executive Service Organization, has con- tributed •to the momentum that has been generated by the Native people themselves, through the provision of appropriate ad- visory services. This organization links one of its many volunteers - one who is usually retired - to Indian Band Council Administra- tions, Native organizations and businesses and aspiring Native entrepreneurs who need advice and support with any of .the many facets involved in the business. Since its inception in 1967, CESO volunteers have completed close to 4,000 projects in 104 countries world-wide. In 1984 85, CESO provided advisory services "to 1,622 projects within Canada under' the auspices of the Canadian Native Program: CESO has become highly skilled in mat- ching a volunteer with a particular client's needs - making sure that both the volunteer and the project benefit -the one from the ex- perience, the other from the expertise.. The energy and skill of CESO volunteers have earned them, the respect of both CESO clients and the business • community ' at large. The Financial Post Magazine recent- ly'praised these retirees as "... one of the country's unsung resource bases." The projects in which CESO volunteers get involved are as unique as the Native peo- ple who originate them. In the past year or so, CESO.volunteers in Quebec have helped modernize a Mingan band's fishery to bring it up to the standard required by its major customer - the United States. Two CESO volunteers and four Natives now make up a management team that addresses problems and makes sure the fishery's 65 seasonal jobs remain secure. In Prince Edward Island, CESO volunteers drew on Native know-how to save hundreds of dollars for a Native -owned peat harvesting company. In addition, sales of peat are up, with 50,000 four -cubic -foot bales shipped to Japanese markets in 1984, and the company is now expanding into oyster and blueberry harvesting. The long -abandoned Chinikee sawmill in Alberta once turned out 20,000 feet of lumber per day. CESO volunteers, working with the Band, are giving the mill a completeface lift, hoping to reactivate production and pro- vide much-needed jobs. CESO volunteers recognized the amazing skill of British Columbia Alkali Lake Native women, and taught them how to become ex- pert Landry hog butchers. "Those women can handle knives better than I've seen in 40 years of experience, skillfully avoiding bones, leaving knives as sharp in the end as they were in the beginning," says one of two CESO volunteers involved in the project. PESO volunteers are, available, on re- quest, to work alongside their Native counterparts in many areas of community life or individual Native development. Ac- cording to Linda Chisholm, Regional Manager for Ontario, "We expect self- government, training, and youth activities to become an integral part of the,Canaditin Native Program.

Mary Wemigwans runs her own hair salon in downtown Toronto. Mary has had three volunteers share their expertise with her: One, an accountant, helped her set up a bookkeeping system and still helps her with her taxes. Another volunteer from London, a woman who has three hair salons of her own, helped Mary through the ins and outs of setting up - where to order supplies, when to have things done, and how to do many things herself. "At first it was a little scary," says Mary, a shy woman, originally .from the Wikwemikong Unceded reserve in Ontario. She is completely at home in a hair salon: "These people knew so much, and I felt I knew nothing. But then we started working together, and I realized the only way I was going to make it was to use what they were telling me. I realized people everywhere use each other's knowledge to get'ahead. And the people CESO sent me were really nice - they really -wanted to help ... they really like their work! I think they did it as much for me as for themselves.' Ella Waukey echos Mary's thoughts. When she started Waukey's General Store ir>, a small Ontario town, she knew it wasn't running as smoothly as it could, and that the location had even more potential than she had at first realized. However; this was E11a's first venture, and she was at a stand- still. A couple of calls 'to CESO and a volunteer arrived who showed Ella how to realize the store's potential. On his advice, Ella added a. crafts department to' sell Native crafts to tourists, applied new marketing techniques, and rearranged the merchandise to makeit more appealing. Today, Waukey's General Store & Crafts is a going concern! Gregory Proctor Gregory Proctor, son of Mr. and Mrs. Cam Proctor, Clinton, graduated from Mohawk College of Applied Arts and Technology, .
