Clinton News-Record, 1984-11-07, Page 3�ws and fq:ture oppy campaign raises funds for viety of projects By Al Welch CLINTON - The annual Poppy Campaign for,the Clinton Legion held on Nov. 5 was an opportunity for every Canadian to show that they care and remember by wearing a pop- py. All proceeds are placed in trust accounts and after expenses, iiicluding the cost of poppies and wreaths are paid some of the funds may be used for the following pur- poses: community medical appliances and medical research; day care centres; Meals on Wheels; transportation and related ser- vice for veterans, their dependants and the aged; donations for relief of disasters declared by the federal and provincial governments. Although national in scope, each branch of the Legion is responsble for conducting its own campaign, collecting and disbursing the funds collected in its own area. There is no central national fund where all monies are deposited. The objective of the campaign is to recognize the sacrifice made by thousands of Canadians in the First and Second World Wars and in the Korean War, to develop an awareness of the ceremonies and rites of the past asthey are reflected in the present, to appreciate the qualities of endurance and courage and of devotion to the principles of freedom within our multicultural community,- to celebrate peace. Poppy Chairman Comrade Steve Maguire would like at this time to thank all who took part in the November 4 Church Parade. Although it was wet- any difficulties were overcome as always. A thank you also to Father Pluta and the members of the St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church for allow - Clinton readies for ONIP money • from page 1 gested, "defining cost estimates are best left up to engineers." • Mr. Moy noted that consulting fees and administrative costs of the plan are eligible for up to 15 per cent of the ONIP funding. In Clinton's case, over $40,000 could be spent. Developing the plan will. put Clinton one step closer to receiving the $175,000. Before it is approved, the plan must be presented at a public meeting, given with 30 days notice. Mr. Moy explained, "You must inform the public of the plan so they can be aware. The public has all 'the rights in the Community ., Improvement Plan as they have for the of- ficial plan." . Any objections that can't, be resolved between council . and concerned citizens, could be taken to an Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) hearing, another lengthy and costly process. Avoiding possible OMB hearings is one of the main reasons why public meetings are scheduled. Mr. Moy noted, "The public meetings are held to avoid problems and ob- jections. • If no complaints are heard at public meetings, council then implements ,the ' Community Improvement Plan into the town's official plan. Then the improvement plan will be sent to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing for study. Mr. Moy noted that. Clinton would pro- .bably have to wait until 1986 before funds could be payable. He added, "We only start the cash flow when the agreement's been ex ecuted." ing Legion Members to join with them for the Sunday service. Also a note of thanks goes to the Pipe and Drum Band. While the rest of the comrades •'Paraded in cars, they decided to march back from the church in the rain. They represent the Legion well. Thank you all for your help and support. Also on Sunday, November 11, - Remem- brance Day - Comrade Steve Maguire hopes that everyone possible comes out for the parade. It would be nice to see a lot of the Associate members out this year. In the next few years it is going to be the younger members that have to uphold this day of Remembrance and now is a good year to start. This is a day for not just the veterans to remember fallen comrades. But for all people to remember what they fought and died for. Also we should not forget the ones that have been in hospitals since the end of the war. This is a time to remember and say thank you for our freedom.
