Letter to tjie editor
Local people
fight hunger
THE EDITOR,
While starvation and natural dis
aster afflict millions of people
worldwide, residents of Blyth have
helped show that Canadian gen
erosity is not running dry.
In 1991 tragedies ranging from
the Gulf War to a volcano in the
Philippines have drawn heavily on
charitable giving. People have
begun to talk about donor fatigue,
and wonder whether Canadians can
really make a difference.
Bangladesh, one of the world's
most impoverished nations, suf
fered the most lethal storm of the
decade. Il killed over 125,000 peo
ple. Canadian-funded shelters
saved thousands from the cyclone.
Food and medical supplies sus
tained survivors in the chaos after
the winds died away.
I am glad to report that two
Bangladesh children, supported
through World Vision Canada by
sponsors in the vicinity of Blyth,
have survived the recent tragedy.
The monthly donations provide
food, clothing, education and
medicine for the children, as well
as helping their communities
become self-supporting. Without
this help these communities would
have been ill-prepared for the
cyclone and the casualties in
Bangladesh would have been much
higher.
At a time when Canadian gen
erosity has been tested, I wish to
commend the people in your com
munity who have shown that good-
will is still in good supply, by
helping ensure a future for children
in Bangladesh.
Don Scott
President
World Vision Canada.

dian Forces Recruit School al

Blyth Festival's Young Company

Five people were injured in an
accident at Auburn.
A car driven by Alex Gulutzen
went out of control on the curve,
heading west out of Auburn. It was
raining heavily and the car skidded
sideways with the front end of the
car going into the eastbound lane,
and colliding wilh a station wagon
containing four members of the
Garth Walden family.
The impact drove the Walden car
backward and completely tore the
Gulutzen car in half.
The Brussels boom continued as
a new ladies' wear store opened.
Something Special, a project of
Wilma Rathwell and Nella Blake,
filled a gap in the village's business
section, being the first full-line
women's wear store.
Police destroyed a marijuana
crop found in a field near Wrox-
eter. The street value was $2 mil

Two students at F.E. Madill Sec
ondary School pleaded guilty in
Ontario Court, Criminal Division,
Wednesday in connection wilh a
scries of break-ins at the school last
spring.
Richard James Johnston, 19 and
Jason Purdy, 18, both pleaded
guilty to charges of break and enter
to commit a crime and theft under
$1000. Earlier a young offender
had pleaded guilty in juvenile
court.
Judge R. G. E. Hunter was told
that the crimes occurred between
March 14 and April 8 after a set of
keys to the school and equipment
in the school were stolen from a
Ford van parked at the school.
When the young men discovered
what possibilities the keys held
they began entering the school on a
regular basis. Cash from a pop
machine as well as other goods val
ued at $924 were taken. About
$200 worth of items was later
recovered.
Michael Donnelly represented
both young men. He pointed out
Mr. Johnston had no previous
record and suggested probation
What do these,
