'During 1958, the Huron Unit spent $1,800 on some 45 can- cer :patients. An ' additional.' $ 700 was 'used., to educate citizens in the symptoms of can - ,ser and the need for early diagnosis. Over $10,000 was forwarded to ,provincial head- quarters to be : used ; in research projects. The national objectiveof the society. is • 42, 75 0, 000,,which helps to finance, the :big gest and most-, exciting medical ' crusade of all = time -the crusade to end, the curse of cancer through research. Cancer takes the lives of 22,000 Canadians and : causes great suffering and economic hardship, not only among elderly persons but also among `children and 'young; ";adults. Chief purpose of this campaign is to help speed . the day when a cure is 'found. \ THE IMPORTANCE -OF LIBRARIES This is Canadian Library Week, and an occasion which has considerably mor. e significance than some of the many "weeks which ' :are proclaimed throughout the year:.. p Locally the Lucknow Public Library is none of its size. It rovides -a second to p bright, clean. modern . reading ` room, and shelves. loaded With a fine selection 'of 'reading material. Books are kept up-to- date and the : progressive policy of the .. Board has promoted an increase in ' adult reader interest. Oddly' enough this increas- ed reader . patronageis not evident in the case of children's books, of. which : there is also :a wide selection for all ages. The objective of the week . is to remind .. Canadian people that : reading can help ` them to .. explore and to 'satisfy their .need for ; a greater sense of purpose and meaning in their lives; to urge them to use more fully 'the libraries of , all kinds in which the treasures ' of • the Y printed word await -throughout.: the .land. But; there is a wider aims: • to 'set • apart a -time when people can 'rededicate themselves to the • ideas and ideals of a free. society. Since our is a society based on the choices made by the. many rather than "a few,:its greatest con- cern must be development of every ,indivi- dual : tohis. highest -rapacity. Its vitality, itsy very existence, . depend • upon the extent to which all the people have formed the habit of finding out, of intelligently weighing al- ternatives_ of .reading to be informed. Limi-' ted horizons' are dangerous to a free people; so,: as we have discovered, is the mindless assumption of superiority and invulnerabili- s ty. A'n better -read, • better -informed' Canada, has become necessity. essity. The printed:word, the .•very bass of education, has assumed a new importance. Only a lifetime of contnu- ing self -education' through reading, after. formal. education : is completed, • can, keep:. Canadians ini watchful readiness ; to :'excer- cise responsible 'citizenship; Only a wide . variety of reading can keep us ' abreast of what has been, 'andwhat is, and train the imagination to.' forge ahead into what might be , in . thefuture, N AR FORT. I T N N i:YEISARY On Wednesday, ApS1 8, 1959, Mr. and Mrs. Rgbert • McInnes. of Teeswater celebrated, their for- tieth wedding anniversary. ()pep house was held at 'their home at which time friends and relatives. caalled to extend. their ,good wish- es to the celebrants. ,Many ' icon giutul at y cards 'and gifts: were received; .

Those pouring tea were 'Mrs.. Adam.

By coincidence it was just about a year later that a letter appeared- in the • Teeswater News, which we reprinted in. part last .week. It .was signed "Interested," and claimed that the Georgian Bay. Devel- opment Association was responsible for . . bringing the industry ,to Lucknow This • claimed aroused a• bit of storm : here, and so . to keep the record straight and give 'ere- dit',where credit' is due, some of the ;'facts which have been previously \stated in . The Sentinel would, bear repeating. Reeve Joynt is the roan . who brought the industry here, and . he has no 'need to come to his own defence. His efforts have 'more than once being publicly recognized in .this. regard. Mr. ° Joynt had an exclusive listing on the idle Lucknow Industries Plant, Owned by • Wm. Renaud of Kitchener. The Reeve .ob- tained his lead on the` Beatty firm through ,a municipalconsultant. in Toronto, and worked from there, It was coincidental that , the: G.B.D.A. • was also aware`' atthat time hat this firm,was in the market for an indus- trial property and were making known what was available in their area.• .` However, .:`Reeve Joynt Was "by . t ., ' on his own,and in the days .workingys anden' • weeks that followed he ; concentrated much' of his time in an •all out effort to finalize • the transaction which he accomplished in mid-January of 1958. Mr. Joyntwas the man who negotiated the sale and at no time was the G.B.D.A. in the picture. Mr. Renaud never met with any officials of the Association,. and the. sale of :the Plant was unquestionably due to the `relentless''. ef- forts of . Mr. Joynt • The writer . was invery close . touch with negotiations as they progressed, prior to ,the, point when the time ' was ripe to announce the good news.' We are of the sincere opin- ion that had- not Mr. Joyntsucceeded in ` negotiating: the sale,. at that time, ` that the plant would . still.;. be idle. • eetin • AND • .
