Wingham's annual Terry Fox Run is behind us now and for
the second year in a row, area residents have honored Ter-
ry's dream through their generosity and hard work.
This year's Wingham run raised no less than $5,528 for
cancer research. Over 75 volunteers and participants were
involved in the run — an overwhelming response.
Organizing a run of this magnitude is no small feat, as
those in charge soon will attest. But the end result ® the
money raised and comradery generated ® makes it all
worthwhile.
Great strides have. been made in the fight against cancer in
recent years. But more is needed for drugs, research, contin-
uing education and transportation, just to name a few.
Virtually everyone has been touched by cancer and is
aware of its ravages. But there is hope, the same hope that
spurred Terry Fox in his cross-country trek almost 10 years
ago.
As the years go by, the legacy of Terry Fox is strengthened.
Few people were not touched by that freckle -faced young
man and his quiet dignity.
Next year marks the 10th anniversary of Terry Fox Runs
across Canada. Here in Wingham, let's make next year's run
the best ever. We have shown that we have the ability to do
so.
We are world-class
in these days when the term "world-class" really doesn't
mean very much, it's good to know that Ontario and its resi-
dents truly are leaders on at least one front.
Last week, the United Nations honored this province for its
rote in championing recycling, especially through the "blue
box' program. It appears that Ontario is far advanced in its
recycling role, mainly because of a little plastic box.
actually is quite simple in theory: just throw recyclable
items —
cans,
bottles, newsprint — in a box each c day until it
is full and then set it out for garbage pick-up.
In a short six months, blue boxes have become a fact of
life in Wingham and the streets are dotted with them most
.
Tuesda sManyother Y e municipalities have taken up the blue
box cause and it has become second nature for school chil-
dren to recycle.
