This is the whole idea of duty. - Prince Charles. Arthritis! It is an affliction that gives pain, acute discomfort, and disables many Cana- dians -- children as well as adults. The Canadian Arthritic Society has volun- teer community groups who help to raise money to aid the Society in its work. Brussels has such a volunteer group that belongs in the Blue Water Region. Unfor- tunately it has dwindled to a mere two or three members. They are in dire need of new volunteers to give a little time once a year to this work. The Brussels group conduct a yearly canvass in October and a postal walk which means sending out requests for donations to those in rural areas. Help will be appreciated. If you are willing to devote some time to this worthy cause please get in touch with Mrs. Lois McCall, phone 887-9303 or Marlene Roberton, Huron County health nurse. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the RCMPPolice Dog Services. Dogs selected for service must meet established standards. They are tested for their ability to absorb training; their response to guns; loud noises; strangers and general alertness. They must be of good size and appearance; of even temperment; strong retrieval instincts. Basic categories of police dog work are specialist and all-purpose or general duty. Specialist dogs are trained to detect such things as drugs and explosives. Teams of police dogs and handlers engage also in other types of specialized work. The German Shepherd dog known for intelligence, strength and courage is very suitable for police work. On this their 50th anniversary a special tribute is paid to RCMP Dog Services in recognition of duty performance by the dogs and the men who are their handlers. Congratulations - Premier Rene Levesque of Quebec has declared his intention of leaving the political arena, fading completely away, when his successor as leader of the Parti Quebecois has been chosen. He said he has no desire to create, fore himself or the one who takes his place, if .rot problems, delicate situations when a former premier remains in the assembly while his successor takes his place. If this man of feisty character disappears one of a most intriguing personality will be gone from Canadian politics. Today (Wednesday) grandson, Adrian Kennedy, who has been a visitor for the past two weeks, goes home and I will be off on a holiday. W e will journey together to Toronto. While he is travelling by train to Ottawa t will be winging west with Air Canada for a visit with son David, his wife and two grandsons. This has been a happy summer for me, All my Ottawa area family have spent some time here. Now there will be two weeks with my Winnipeg family. They are all too far away to be together often. It is a pleasure when possible. It would take more than the recent air disasters or the present strike of Air Canada flight attendants to deter me from going. Air travel is found enjoyable. But it must be admitted there is a sense of relief when the jet is safely off the ground and up in blue and again at the end of the flight safe on the ground. When up among the clouds it is always an interesting experience with no fears. A lady having a dinner party ordered a centrepiece of yellow roses, later than she should have, The florist did not have any yellow roses left. He did have some very realistic artificial ones which he used to make a tasteful display. The payment he received also contained this note. "You did not send me the real thing, Those bills are not real either. They are stage money."
