This is the time of year
when the Gnderich
Signal -Star receives
many college and
university graduation
photos of area students.
these photos and a small
write-up free of c arge
but have encounted a
few problems this year
resulting in the following
policy:
Photos must be sup-
plied to us (we do not
have time to take such
photos ourselves) and
they must, be small
enough to fit into one
column of the newspaper,
approximately five by
seven inches at the
largest. No eight by tens
please.
Keep this policy in
mind and thanks for your
co-operation.

Start joint hospital fund
to replace individual grants
Goderich Legion
Branch 109 has been
informed by its Deputy
Zone Commander, Bob
Chapman, that a Legion
Hospital Fund .has been
instituted to replace
individual branch
donations to the veterans'
hospitals and to provide
some comforts to the
patients. .
This fund is a joint
effort of Legion Districts
A, B and C which are
located in southwestern
Ontario. Branch 109 is
located in District C and
its representatives on the
hospital committee are
Weaver

Community and area
involvement and en-
thusiasm in the arts has
been the backbone of the
Blyth Centre for the Arts
since its inception.
It was yvith community
participation in mind that
Mrs. Tony Vos, an area
weaver, was com-
missioned to weave
curtainsfor the upstairs
hallway windows of the
Blyth Memorial Hall.
Mrs. Vos' interest in
the art of weaving led her
t� research and ex-
periment with dying hand
spun wool with natural
dyes collected and ex-
tracted from plants and
weeds in the area.
Although she is a very
quiet and modest person
in regards to her ac-
complishments, the rich
weaving she produces is
far from modest.
The curtains are now in
use in the second floor of
the hall. The ,rich earth
colours of the weaving
are well complemented
by the abundance of wood
trim in -the area.

Comrade Ted Elliott of
Brussels branch and
Comrade Fred Tilker of
-Hanover branch.
Both Westminster and
Sunnybrook hospitals are
included in this scheme
but at present the top
priority is a new service
vehicle for the Home
Dialysis Program which
serves 57 individuals
scattered throughout
south central Ontario,
whose lives depend onthe
home dialysis unit.
Veterans are among
those who benefit from
this program.
Dialysis is a
mechanical system
which removes -im-
purities from the blood of
an individual whose
kidneys are no longer
able to provide this
function. Within recent
years a home dialysis
unit has been developed
which the individual can
use by himself in his own
home. The dialysis
machine is a delicate
instrument and must be
serviced regularly to
prevent malfunction.
In 1963 the London
Poppy Fund recognized
the importance of this
program and donated to
the home dialysis
training centre, a Ford
van to be used as the
service vehicle for the
home dialysis units
situated throughout the
area. This van carries the
technician, repair parts,
or replacement machines
to the sit of the home
dialysis units. Tften rural
roads --and to poor
weather cdnditions.
However, since the
Ford van was donated
from money in the Poppy
Funds of the London
Legion branches the
number of home dialysis
machines in service and
the distances which must
be travelled have in-
creased tremendously.
The Ford van - a standard
vehicle - is approaching
the stage where it cannot
be considered reliable. It
is therefore not con-
sidered suitable for the
transportation of dialysis
units during the winter
month .
What is now required is
a new service vehicle
equipped with four-wheel
drive, heavy duty
suspension, extra in-
sulation and a heating
unit. The cost of this type
of replacement vehicle is
.estimated at $10,000.
While the Ministry of
Health finances 'the
operating costs of the
home dialysis . program,
they do not provide funds
for the purchase of a new
service vehicle.
Goderich Legion
Branch 109 has donated
$1,035 from . its Poppy
Fund towards the pur-
chase of a new service
vehicle. Other branches
in southwestern Ontario
have been contacted to
support this very worthy
cause.
Legionaires and in-
dividuals who wish to
donate to the Legion
Hospital Fund are
requested to send their
donation to the treasurer
of your local Legion
branch. An official
receipt for income tax
purposes will be issued.

Art club

LORNA VINCENT
The Goderich Art Club
met for a lively pot luck
party to end the current
studio season.
It was to have taken
place at a cottage near
�; a.lhnrt -hit the
sudden cold spell forced a
change off scene.
Everyone welcomed the
alternative which took
place before an open fire
at the home of Edwina
and Maurice Ml:Kee in
Goderich.
The president, Gailya
Maguire held ° a short
business session to read a
few letters and settle a
point or two regarding
fall activities.
Lorna Vincent reported
on the progress of the
"Steering Committee"
for changes to be made at
MacKay Hall which will
affect all user groups in
the coming year.
Before the call to a
sumptuous smorgasbord,
everyone was pleased to
greet Mary Howell, one of
the earliest members of
the Art Club who had
been absent from the
group since last year.
After supper, Colleen
Maguire, who is prac-
tically a one -woman
band, played her guitar
with attached mouth
organ and sang a variety
of Irish and con-
temporary songs,
breaking off now and then
for a whistled ac-
companiment.
As 'if that were not
enough talent for one
entertainer someone
discovered that Colleen
had studied the art of
handwriting analysis.
Hence therest of the
evening was devoted to .
learning the peculiarities
in each of our characters
and guessing as to which
member fitted the dif-
ferent readings.
It turned out to"be very
praiseworthy of Colleen's
ability and it also created
moments of hilarity
among those present.
The art show at the
local library as well as
one at the Credit Union
has closed. Several
members of the club will
attend Edna Johnson's
summer school of art at
Southampton under the
instruction of Professor
A. Daniel Logan who will
be in residence the first
week of July.
