These people are e an assorted and large group. For ex - d ample there was an old lady whose - entire family had died and she was o left alone in this world without an, ✓ earthly possession but when she con- , tatted the Salvation .Army she was m- gratefully received into one of the Sunset and Eventide homes where she found protection and made many friends." "Others who benefit by this camp - a1 aign include hundreds of babies who t are in Salvation Army homes. These bouncing future Canadians join in with those children who live in homes and are given •healthful holi- days at the many fresh air camps at Jackson's Point in thanking one and all who contribute to this worthy Gau5e." "And in conveying thanks I must not forget the host of distressed and destitute men and women who find shelter, food, and council in Salva- tion Army hostels as well as those unfortunate people who fall foul of the law and are glad to discover in the Salvation Army a prisoner's friend. These are all thankful of the kind deed which you are doing." These were the words of Capt. Burch in an interview concerning the campaign. Please think of the needs around you, of those who are giving their time and competence with little if any material reward to help meet the needs of the people. When the can- vasser calls at your door think of the good which will be done with the money which you contribute and give from the heart. Eg:tnondville United Church Rev. A. W.

Ron, who is 17, has played midget hockey in the .11.0.11.A.•, junior and senior basketball for school teams; senior rugby and starts on the an- nual school track and field days. He is a winner of the Strathcona Medal for the best rifle shot in the school and still finds time to rank fourth in his class when examina- tions roll around. In addition to all this, Ron is president of 'the school Athletic Society and takes part in dramatics. Sills thinks that Western Ontario schools could be improved by paying more attention to average and below average students. He feels that school studies could best be changed by :lightening the "burden of home- work.' The setting up of councils com plete with reeves and mayors in schools would do much towards slim ulating student interest in municipal politica, he says. He names basketball as Ms favor- ite sport because "it is a team sport in which everyone participating selves in some major capacity." He thinks that present hockey - rules should be changed so that more of the off -sides are eliminated and thus helping to create a more wide-open game. He adds that rough play should be kept to a minimum. Ron is the son of Postmaster C, P. and MTS. Sills, of Seaforth. Rot will be a guest of the Landon Free Pitess and the University for a tour through CFPL, the Free Press and will see the WOSSA meet, with a banquet on the U of W.O.' campus. 0 * * Plans are now definite for the Seaforth Cadet Corps 79, inspec- tion.
