During 1985, Huron County was chosen as one of the pilot project ,areas for the new education program called "Success" which concentrates on the five types of cancer -- lung, skin, uterine, breast and colorectal— felt to be decreased proportionally - by change in lifestyle. As part of the program, each branch took. part in non-smoking week and distributed information. The program will continue to be developed in the 1985-1986 year. From the patient services report, 20. patients received financial assistance with ostomy supplies and 18 volunteer drivers , provided the service by driving over 14,000 miles. At the Goderich branch, three meetings were held Nov. 15, 1984, Feb. 21 and May 9 which featured discussions on increasing membership, involvement of young people in the work of the Cancer Soclety, additional special events that could be held to assist the campaign and awareness of all members about the work and structure of the Cancer Society. In Goderlch, Kinsmen and Kinettes Bike Ride, the Daffodil Tea, daffodil sales co- ordinated by the Lioness Club and the Snowmobile Rally sponsored by the Forresters were all successful. b Society became body in 1938 The Canadian Cancer Society was incor- porated as a national body in 1938 as a result of action taken by the Canadian Medical Association and lay groups in some of the provinces. It grew out of a request from doctors for a lay -medical organization that would help br- ing cancer patients into their offices earlier. The society now benefits from the ser- vices of hundreds of thousands of volunteers who are involved in campaigns, public education and service to patients. There are more than 1,400 communities in Canada served. by local organizations of the society, and its services are extended to about 3,400 other localities. The Canadian Cancer Society is the only cancer related fund raising charity, with a national charter, and with fully organized divisions in each of the 10 provinces. rJ. y(i Special service awards for long dedicated service to the Canadian Cancer Society's Huron Unit were awarded at the society's annual meeting last week In Holmesville in Caffrey Cann, of Exeter and Mel Farnsworth, of Goderich.

After 76 years in space, Halley's comet is back BY LOUIS STADELMANN After 76 years out in space the comet is back. It is its second time around this cen- tury. Because of its predictable return, this celestial wanderer, named after Sir Ed- mund Halley, an English astronomer and contemporary of Isaac Newton, is getting a lot of attention, perhaps mainly because of its spectacular last appearance in 1910-1911. As a little boy in Switzerland, I remember so well my father telling us the story of the great comet. He said it came out of nowhere. Almost suddenly it appeared in the night sky to become larger and larger and more threatening every night. People were staring, some with great apprehen- sion, at this intruder from behind a con- ceivable limit in space coming closer, get- ting brighter and occupying more and more of the night sky. At one point its huge head, about twice the size of the sun, was emerg- ing out of the horizon in the east just before sunrise, while its tail, blown into phenomenal proportions, was clearly visible in the west. What a dramatic confirmation that the earth is round by the way. The effect it had on people was something else. The churches were full. Places of pilgrimage were overcrowded. Processions were made asking for protection from the evil star. Of course the topic of conversation had switched from the weather to the comet. Speculations about the effect on just about everything was the order of the day. Some of the theories my father had heard then were pretty wild. But one thing was sure, he said. It changed people — for a little while anyway. Those who were known to be boisterous, brash and aggressive, mellowed visibly and became rather subdued. Others, giving to the celestial event, a portentious significance, were very much wondering what to expect in the near future. But the great majority of people, after the original excitement, resigned themselves to the dramatic event overhead as people would resign themselves to an ongoing drought or to a rain which doesn't seem to end. Of course, this time everything is dif- ferent. First, astronomers doubt that Halley's comet approach to the sun will be nearly as spectcular this time around. They say that because of our position in space, our northern hemisphere will miss a real good view of the comet. But if you can afford 6,000 - 7,000 dollars on a three week cruise to the tropical waters of South America, you can "be where you can touch it", the adver- tisement says. Second, the last decades have seen an in- credible enlargement of the general public's knowledge and awareness of/the realities of our solar system. It is in that near -space that Halley's comet is travelling and this time we should be ready for its appearance with the right frame of mind. Books, newspaper articles, T.V. programs, scien- tific magazines have already provided us with information to the saturation point about essential facts on our corner of the Universe, so that even an old farmer like myself could give a lecture on some aspects of celestial mechanics. And that's what I will be doing on Nov. 19 when I will be speaking about Halley, the comet of the century at the Public Library in Goderich at 7:30 p.m. Rotary Club sees slides and China presentation The artistic flare of the Chinese was the topic of Doug Yeo, a lifelong resident of Goderich Township, when he spoke at the Goderich Rotary Club on Nov. 6. A resource teacher at Victoria Street Public School, he travelled to China in 1982. He showed the Rotary Club examples of the artistice flare of the Chinese including a signature chop, a vase and a storage box which requires no wrapping. Other interesting points included the fact that the Chinese celebrate New Years but not Christmas, envelopes are not pre -glued, chop sticks come in at least two sizes, reading is done from right to left, calculators are manually operated and there are two types of money, one for tourists and one for the rest of the population. During his slide presentation, Yeo pointed out that tourists are treated as guests since they are allowed to be first in line-ups, everything in China is very clean, watermelon is a favorite summer food and the population of China increases by 20 million every year despite official attempts to control population growth. Library to receive atlas • The federal government and the Huron County Library will receive free copies of the 1984 Huron County Atlas. Huron County Council has rectified an oversight which saw the two groups overlooked at the atlas' "coming out" party. Warden Paul Steckle said the oversight was caused by a "thrown out agenda” when he presented a copy of the atlas to Huron chief librarian Bill Partridgeat the November 7 session of Huron County Council. A copy of the atlas will be displayed at the county library's head office in Goderich At the "coming out" party, provincial Minister of Agriculture, Jack Riddell, Huron - Middlesex MPP received a copy to be presented to Ontario Premier David Peterson, however, a copy was not presented to the Huron - Bruce MP, Murray Cardiff.
