Poppy campaign will be
held Sunday, Nov. 5
To the Editor,
For many years the people of
Seaforth and area have been most
generous in contributing to the
annual poppy campaign of Branch
156 of the Royal Canadian Legion.
Funds which the public con-
tribute are held in trust in a sepa-
rate account and do not form any
part of branch finances. The
amount collected in the 2005 cam-
paign was $6525.87 with expendi-
tures during the year totalling
$5167.02.
The poppy trust fund- is a
reserve from which assistance can
be given to needy veterans and
their dependents and the widows
and children of deceased person-
nel.
We trust that local citizens will
continue to lend their usual
strong support to the 2006 poppy
campaign by wearing a poppy and
being receptive to the Legion
member knocking on your door
during the poppy drive to be held
on Sunday, Nov. 5 at 1 p.m. Your
donations will be appreciated.

Optimists' Halloween
party very impressive,
says local parent
To the Editor,
I would like to compliment the
Optimist Club of Seaforth on their
annual successful Halloween party.
My children have attended three
years now, but this year is the first
year I have attended due to having
a three-year-old to supervise.
Grandma has always taken and
supervised the others.
I was very impressed with every-
thing they had to offer and just the
movement in the hall was so alive.
News
It takes a lot to put an event like
this on. There were a lot of mem-
bers and student volunteers to
ensure its success.
Hats off to all who worked so
hard on preparations for this great
event. Keep up the good work, it's
amazing. Thank you.

FHT is using a doc-

they're going to function.
They'll need 3,000 to 5,000
more square feet than the
clinic currently has for.the
allied professionals that will
be hired," said Lavoie.
LAC chair Tony Vanden
Hengel asked if the physio-
therapy room at the hospital
would be large enough to
accommodate the FHT but
Lavoie guessed that room is
only 1,000 square feet.
"The (hospital) trust is pre-
pared to have discussions
around the building but we
need to understand the
requirements better. The
question is can they operate
in a decentralized fashion,"
said Lavoie.
