last Wednesday for their annual visit sponsored by Legion
Branch 109. While half the group boarded a tug to do some
fishing on the lake, the other half toured the town by bus.

Grand Bend man wins Fish Congest
Dear Editor,
I wish to inform the
readers that the winner of
the 1982 Molson Big Fish
Contest in the Coho category
was Mr. Ted Triebner from
Grand Bend. He won the
contest with an all time
record coho salmon
weighing in at 24 pounds
even. He caught the fish near
the Goderich breakwall
around 10 a.m. and took
nearly two hours to land it.
Mr. Triebner has received
$150 in cash and a new 55 h.p.
Evenrude outboard motor
for his entry.
There has been some
debate in this area as to
whether it was a coho or a
Chinook sahnon. Following is
a letter from Mr. R.G.
Morgan, executive vice-
ETTE
president of the Ontario
Federation of Anglers and
Hunters which should be of
interest to the readers
I also wish to take this
opportunity to invite all
fishermen to visit Goderich
and see the "Prettiest Town
in Canada"_ We have two
excellent launching ramps
as well as other facilities for
your use.
Yours truly,
Bruce Allin,
Dockmaster,
Snug Harbour Marina
Dear Sir,
I am writing to you to try
and clear up any miscon-
ceptions that may exist from
the results of the 1982 win-
ning , coho salmon in the
"Molson" Big Fish Contest.
Ted Triebner of Grand
Bend, Ontario, entered a 24
pound coho salmon into the
contest. His entry was
judged by five very qualified
judges that included one of
the leading ichthyologists in
North America. He is Dr. Ed
Crossman, Curator of the
Royal Ontario Museum. He
has a great interest in this
contest and lis one of the most
knowledgeable persons
available to distinguish
between coho and chinook
sahnon. All of the judges are
fully qualified and are very
knowledgeable, capable
people. It also includes' a
senior staff person from the
Ministry of Natural
Resources.
After close examination,
there was no doubt in the
judges' minds the fish en-
tered was a coho.
Thank you for your in-
terest in the Ontario
Federation of Anglers and
Hunters and the "Molson"
Big Fish Contest.
Yours in Conservation,
R.G. Morgan.
Association surrenders its. charter
Dear Editor,
Due to the closure of
Bluewater Centre for the
Developmentally Handicap-
ped, the Volunteer Associa-
tion is surrendering its
charter.
At a recent meeting a mo-
tion was passed to establish
a lifetime Scholarship of $500
annually for young people
from Goderich or Huron
County entering community
college programs in Mental
Retardation Counselling.
The amount involved to set
up this Scholarship is
between $7,000 and $9,000.
Several of the active
volunteers were opposed to
the disposition of such a
large amount of funds for
this purpose, when we were
of the opinion that we were
raising money for the benefit
of the Bluewater residents.
With the opening of group
homes and a new workshop,
the need for funds is urgently
required and this amount
would have • been of great
assistance to the Goderich
Telethon is for U.S. only
Dear Editor,
Because American televi-
sion networks will be broad-
casting a telethon for the
U.S_ Malrch of Dimes on July
3 and 4, 1983, I would like to
take this opportunity to. ex-
plain the difference between
that organization and the On-
tario March of Dimes.
There has been a great
deal of confusion regarding
the work of the two agencies
in the past. For your infor-
mation, the U.S. March of
Dunes provides services and
programs for physically
disabled adults, regardless
of disability.
Neither the Ontario March
of Dimes nor any other •
Canadian organization will
benefit from funds pledged
to the U.S. March of Dimes
during the telethon. .
The only connection we
have had with the U.S.
March of Dimes is an
historic one. Both agencies
Were created to raise funds
for research and provide
rehabilitation when polio
was a major concern.
Witli the introduction of
the Salk vaccine which prac-
tically eliminated new in-
cidences of polio, the U.S.
March of Dimes concen-
trated on the issue of birth
defects.
Through its earlier' work
with polio patients in the
1950's, the Ontario March of
Dimes discovered many
other people in communities
who were physically disabl-
ed and it chose to provide
general services tq meet
their needs.
Today, the Ontario March
of Dimes has 15 regional of-
fices and promotes increas-
ed mobility, independence
and integration for disabled
adults. Its services include a
summer vacation program,
free accessibility and
barrier -free design consulta-
tion, community develop-
ment, travelling medical
clinics; personal support ser-
vices providing assistive
devices and electronic aids
and public education pro -
gra"
We are concerned thatthe
general 'public may continue
to confuse the work of the
two organizations dueto the
common names and would
appreciate any assistance
you can provide in clarifying
our work.
Thank you for your con-
tinued support.
Sincerely,
Don King,
President, Ontario

''jtjSh OId Age Pension�r
ByHe$Owen
The unfortunate plight of
British Old Age Pensioners
may not be apPreeiated by
those unaware of their situa-
tion,
ituation, but the facts ere that
those who choose to live in
Canada are penalized. Their
pensions are fixed so that in
times of rising inflation they
have to contend vdith rising
costs, and in addition the
failing rate of exchange has
further exacerbated the.
situation.
However, in April of this
year a group of pensioners in
Toronto decided to take
positive action, and a newly
formed organization came
into being - The British Pen-
sioners Association it is
hoped, will be able to bring
pressure to bear to remedy
the situation.
Registered as a
charitable, non-profit mak-
ing group, non-party and
non-political, it is hoped that
this new venture will receive
the suport of the many who
stand to benefit from its ac-
tivities.
An application has already
been filed for affiliation to
the National Federation of
Old Age Pensioners Associa-
tion (U.K. ), and there is
every indication that it will
be accepted. With the sup-
port of 9.2 million O.A.Ps
with voting rights, this pro-
mises to be a strong lobby.
The case of the pensioners
abroad has already been put
to the Minister concerned
noting, "We are particularly
concerned about the position
in Canada. The Canadian
government have already in-
dicated their readinesslto
resolve the matter of

reveals the concern that is

seeks resolutions and fair

Over the Years many pen-
sioners have written letters
and made appeals for the
matter `to be • re -considered.
Now, in order to pursue their
objectives, it is essential that
those who are penalized by
the unequal situation should
give their wholehearted sup-
port to the new venture
specifically initiated to fur-
ther their interests. In this
way they will, through
