Giveg enerou sly to UNICEF this Hallowe'en night
Dear Editor,
Foxe hundred t ousand school children in
Ontario Will carry UNICEF boxes as they
trick -or -treat door to door on Hallowe'en
night — as they have done in Ontario for
more than 30 years.
While, we may 'have come to take the
'familiar orange and black boxes for granted
over the years, millions of children around
the world will never take the work of
UNICEF for granted. It provides the means
of their survival and development.
The money collected at Hallowe'en has
changed for the better the lives of children
world-wide. While clean water remains a
rare and precious commodity in much of the
Third World, UNICEF -drilled wells in
communities small and large have meant
children are protected from water -born
diseases and mothers are able to give more
time to the care of their children, having
been relieved of the duties of finding and
carrying water.
The fight against communicable diseases
is also being waged through UNICEF"S
immunization program. It is a battle that
can be won. Smallpox, once the scourge of
whole populations, is now eradicated, with
the last reported case being in 1977 in East
Africa. Other dread diseases can follow this
pattern!
Education, health care, improved
nutrition and protection from cruelty and
neglect are rights all children should enjoy.
UNICEF, the children's advocate, is
dedicated to the provision and preservation
of the right of the child.
As Honorary Co -Chairmen of the Ontario
UNICEF Committee, we would like to
remind you that by being generous when
UNICEF's Canadian children call at your
door with their collection boxes on
Hallowe'en, you are helping UNICEF's
children world-wide toward a brighter
future.
Thank you for helping to give the children
a tomorrow.
Sincerely,
Hon. William G. Davis, P.C., Q.C.
and Kathleen Davis

Scouts hold successful bottle drive
Dear editor,
I wish to express a word of appreciation to
the people of Goderich who responded so
well to our Cub -Scout Bottle drive,
Saturday, Oct. 5. Your support of this
worthy boys' program is greatly
appreciated.
The boys who helped with this door to door
canvass and the parents who came out to
drive, are also to be thanked.
I wish to thank the lady who went to her
garage fol a box of empty bottles, only to
discover that she had locked herself out of
her house. Fortunately, we were able to get
a basement window open, and one of our
Cubs crawled inside, and got her front door
open again. Through all this, our lady friend
remained calm and very gracious. And I
know she will open her door again to our
boys another time. Thank you.
For the most part, these young boys have
been well received. However, there are the
exceptions. One lady snapped back "No, and
if I did, I'd sell them myself." A young CUB
doing his duty doesn't need to be treated like
this. A simple, "Yes or No thank you," he
can understand as sufficient.
Again, on behalf of the 9th Goderich Scout
Group Committee, our thanks to Goderich
residents.
Yours truly,
Robert O. Ball
Readers thank Tory for her work in windsurfing
Dear Editor,
I enjoyed seeing the Sept. 18 Dave Sykes
photos of the annual Goderich Fun Cup
regatta at Point Farms Provincial Park.
They brought back pleasant memories.
As newcomers to the world of sailboar-
ding this past summer, my family and I find
it fun and exciting. Our sailboat has been
almost drydocked.
The recent fun cup proved to be a good
chance for us to mix it up with other
sailboarders and have a thoroughly en-
joyable time. We definitely plan on atten-
ding again next year and we are en-
thusiastically recruiting others to join us.
In your caption for the pictures, you
acknowledged Pat Gillies of Cambridge as
the direction of the regatta. I would simply
like to let area residents know that Tory
McDonald, of the Goderich Windsurfing
shop on Church St., was "co -host" with Pat.
Tory has been a big stimulant to our wind-
surfing this summer.
Thanks again Tory, for your help and en-
couragement all 'summer and for a fun
September regatta! Goderich is gaining a
good reputation for windsurfing! !
Sincerely,
Doug Brown
