The Maple Leaf Chapter IODE will conduct a Red Cross campaign in our com- munity from March 5 to 10. Red Cross was created in the 1800s to ensure medical aid for wounded soldiers. Out of that initial purpose have sprung a dozen more services through which Red Cross branches reach out to assist members of the com- munity." These .services include assistance for senior citizens and young people alike, and range from direct care to im- provement of the quality of life for the Jihad - vantaged. None of these services can continue without the contributions of other members of the "com- munity.

Their name means "terrible lizard". Man, a relative new -comer to earth, never even glimpsed these awesome reptiles. The first dinosaur remains, found in the early 19th century, fired up man's. curiosity and wonderment. • Since that time, bones and skeletons of dinosaurs have been unearthed, impressions of their skin found in stone, and in 1923 the first dinosaur eggs were discovered. Yet certain dinosaur features remain teasingly enigmatic. What color were they? Did they make croaking, grunting or hissing sounds or no sounds at all? Were they warm or cold blooded? Why did they become extinct? • The Dinosaur. Galleries at the ROM lure more museum visitors than any_ other permanent display. In recognition of its cast of prehistoric super -stars, many of them Canadian, the Museum has prepared an unprecedented festival of dinosaur events. This month, think big and visit the ROM. +++ This is the time of year when the winter's heating bills seem mountainous and you begin to think that there must be a better way.

Many Canadians are not familiar with it but there is a quiet depart- ment in Ottawa which, with its 23 outlets across the country, benefits hundreds of thousands of people. Veteran Affairs provides education assistance, housing assistance, grants and entitlements, pensions, war veterans allowances, hospital and domiciliary care, homes for the aged, death benefits and funds for funerals and burials to eligible war veterans, their dependents and survivors. The Department of Veteran Affairs has more than 5,000 employee's, has been in operation for 35 Years and has four associated agencies within its portfolio. With a budget of $900 million a year, . it reaches many Canadians. . There are more than 800,000 men and ,women in Canada who served in the Armed Forces in wartime. Many of these veterans are eligible or will become eligible for the service provided by Veterans Affairs. . This figure, combined with the. number of dependents who are entitled, adds up to an 'appreciable segment of our population. ' • One statistician has forecast that, provided •• we are not engaged in further armed conflicts, the last Canadian veteran to require benefits will die in the year 2030. In other words, it will be a long time before Canada will finish paying its debt to those who fought for it in wartime. S6iML AWAY!
