Not our new section as I was in Toronto for over 30 years. Yours truly, Roly Walker Eulogy "Ode t�o Elvis Presley" He was everything we could ever want and more. Like a lighted bomb, He was thrust into our lives, And we didn't quite know what to do with him. But this feeling didn't last for long; Because he was something new and exciting, His great talent and charm won over all our hearts, He was really just a country boy, Who hated to leave his cowboy hat and spurs, And he never really did. Even though he became the King of Rock 'N Roll, He could still sing country songs, Straight from the heart. Although many stars came and went, He never lost his popularity. He made millions and billions of people happy. And •now'' -we sorrow because he is gone. But he isn't really gone, And never will be. The memories of him will‘be passed on to our children, And then to their chifdren. Elvis was truly a great man, A talented man, A warm hearted man, A strong man, -- A loved man. Yes, he was loved by us all, And we'll miss him so.

The project is called Silver Threads Communications. The grant, which falls under the Federal Govern- ment's Health and Welfare program, was approved in June. A group of twelve in- terested people had e been gathered together in the Goderich and Clinton area to test acceptance of the scheme, however, there had been no formal meetings. The only contact had been by telephone and personal visitations of Art Henwood, secretary of the Bluewater Amateur Radio Club Incorporated. As many agencies and groups as possible dealing with retirees, pensioners and those people no longer in the work force had been .contacted about the project. The project sponsor is to be the Bluewater Amateur Radio Club whose address is a post office box number in Goderich. The project proposal is to set up a radio and communications station in the basement of McKay Hall on North Street in Goderich.
