Fordwich native' turns centenaricm "It could be his good Scottish blood." That was the possible -reason given by one of his children for the long, active life of. James W. Brown who recently turned 100 years old. A native of Fordwich, Mr. Brown has resided in Sault Ste. Marie for -the. past 35 years. He is an uncle of Mrs. Wray Cooper of Fordwich. Prior to moving. to Sault Ste. Marie, Mr. Brown -homesteaded in. Saskit:.' chewan from the early 1900s - to 1935 and then moved to British Columbia. Upon moving to Sault Ste. Marie he worked for the city's Public Utilities Commission from 1946 until his retirement in 1953. His wife, Florence died in 1946. Besides his "good Scottish blood," Mr. Brown's daughter with whom he now lives, 'Mrs. Shirley Sal- valaggio, believes the fact that they have always been a "close-knit family" has had something to do with Mr. Brown's long enjoyment of life. Of his five children, three-. live in British Columbia, one in Alberta and Mrs. Salvalaggio in Sault Ste. Marie. Mr. Brown also has 16 grandchildren and 21 great- grandchildren . All of the children plan to visit their father this sum- . mer and Mrs. Salvalaggio says the children "always made -a fuss over him". As for James rown, he claims to have "no secrets" about longevity. The Centenarian likes to spend hisdajs sittingemetside smoking bis- pipe... or .cigar and feeding sunflower seeds to the chipmunks in his. backyard. • A photograph in the Sault Ste. Marie paper showedMr. Brown with a chipmunk sitting in his hand. Just recently the chipmunk had three babies, so Mr. Brown says he will have more mouths to feed. He is reported as liking to watch television in the evening, but only stays up late to see a hockey game. As Hometeague makes donation The Salvation Army Home League ladies held a "white elephant" sale among the members earlier this month to raise money for the -Town and Country Homemakers. The .proceeds of $50 were donated to the homemakers' fund. Mrs. Wilson Perrin presented the cheque to Jean Young, coordinator of the homemaker group.

This wags the beginning of our nine years iri elementary school. Even though 1. have attended this school for .only four years, my classmates and our teachers have helped me greatly. We have.developed both mentally and-phYsically which our parents and teachers can take a great deal of credit for. We can compare education to a house -building project. During our pre-school years, we chose a site, cleared the land, and with the help of our family we dug ,a hole. As we walked through the school doors for the first time in kindergarten we began laying the footings for the foundation of our • building. The primary years are very important. Without proper, sturdy footings our founda- tion would crumble. During the junior and intermediate years we strive to pour the concrete or lay the concrete blocks for our foundation walls. Some days the con- crete blecks • are very heavy, some daYS' we drop a few and they break, some days we wonder if we will ever get that foundation level. But with a lot of hard work, tears and laughter, victories and defeat, along with the dedication of our pastor, teachers and parents by the end of our senior year in Grade 8 those walls of our foundation look and feel pretty secure., Education re - Outs the services of many skilled, people as . does the building of a house.

Ontario residents with low incomes are entitled to assistance in paying OHIP premiums. More importantly, the amount has been changed in the most recent Ontario Budget. If your income as a single person is less than $8,200 or your total income as a family of four, for example, is below $14,000, you may be eligible for assistance to pay all or part of your premiums. As always, pensioners or those receiving social assistance continue to receive OHIP coverage without charge. The best way to check your eligibility is to contact your local OHIP office. It's listed in the Blue Pages of your telephone directory under Government Services. Please ask because you may very well qualify for OHIP assistance today, even though you might not \ have in the past. Ministry of Health Ontario miamismanmernm Dennis R.limbrell, Minister -• -• r
