Advertising Manager PHONE 2201 Second Class Mall Registered Number Vital information at special meetings Two very different but equally Im portant meetings related to the psychological and physical well being of many of our citizens are scheduled to take place during the next few days Not only do we feel both meetings warrant the communitys full attention we like to take a moment to praise those responsible for organizing them and commend their Intent as an example of bow a few active residents can share with their townsfolk some vital information that will Increase In Importance as the decade continues Tomorrow night Thursday north Ha I ton specially formed Interest group on palliative care holds the second of three planned public meetings at Milton District Hospital beginning at m Then next Tuesday April the University Womens Club of Georgetown hosts speakers from the Blind Organization of Ontario with Self- help Tactics BOOST they 11 be at Cen tennial Public School on Georgetowns Delrex Boulevard at Admission to both meetings Is free a fact which somehow belles their respective value to the public From what weve heard In of these sessions given the of the first palliative care meeting In Glen Williams last month and an In spiring writeup on BOOST in an issue of Chatelaine magazine supplied to us there will probably be many Ideas raised for discussion which will be completely new to uninitiated listeners both about the nature of blindness and the nature of dying and Its correspondent grief among relatives What makes these two meetings unique In a community increasingly aware of its social needs and Increasingly prepared to meet hem For the first time in north Hilton concerned citizens are examining our health care faculties and professionals and jost as Importantly our own attitudes about dying to determine whether chronically 111 residents and their families can get the specialized kind of attention they need An enormous amount of research into the nature of death and he effects of terminal Illnesses upon the long- term patient and his immediate relatives Is behind tomorrows meeting Former Halton Health Council director CUnton Rohr will describe his own experiences as a grief counsellor at a hospital for he chronically ill Whether that situation is Btill foreign to you or close to home tbe session could prove Invaluable in helping you understand the psychological process of dying Inspiring Is an unavoidable ad jectlve when discussing JoAnne Yale president of BOOST who travel from Toronto to address Interested local residents aware of and concerned about the International Year of the Disabled From Toronto to Halton Hills Is no greater a distance for Mrs Yale whos been blind since birth than it Is for those able see she s spent six months touring Europe alongside her blind husband and heir two dogs and they had quite a few marvellous adventures there Feisty and dynamic Mrs Yale will likely tell those on hand shes looking for understanding not or funds and that organizations like the Canadian National Institute for the Blind should be phased of existence because they end to hamper blind citizens independence Again blindness need not be of direct concern to you but what should be is the moral obligation each of us shares to become more aware of physical disabilities in this special year Mrs Yale undoubtedly offers the year best opportunity to learn how the handicapped can extend and cope with their limitations Sprouts How cancer society adopted daffodil daffodils hat come before Ihe wallow dares and take the winds of March with beauty From TheWintersTale by William Shakespeare On a spring day many years ago a group of Cinccr Society volunteers decided to decorate the tables for a Cancer Tea daffodils These early spring blooms Iheyfclt represented a sense of hope renewed life This sense of hope and renewed life was exactly the feeling in every facet of their work Education of the public with regard to the necessity for an early visit the doctor when warning signals are noted Service lo those unfortunate persons who were suffering from the disease of cancer and the raising of funds to support the work of Cancer Research to find the cause and a cure Tor this disease Years later the same group of volunteers discussed the possibility of having a Daffodil Day at the beginning of April the Cancer Society Campaign An anonymous donor ordered and paid for daffodils to be flown Into Toronto from Vancouver A group of veterans from the Second World sorted and cut them and shipped them out across the City of Toronto From then on Metropolitan Toronto has annually celebrated Daffodil Day at the beginning of April Olher cities have followed suit Beyond this In every large and email centre of Ontario Daffodil Sunday Is now celebrated with bouquets of daffodils decorating churches of all denominations wilh pastors mentioning the day from the pulpits with generous hearted florists donating the blooms and with public service groups distributing the flowers the churches banks stores and public meeting places throughout the- province The message of hope which every volunteer increasingly endeavors to bring to her work Is symbolized perfectly by the flowers of spring of which Shakespeare wrote Today they have become as much a symbol of the Canadian Cancer
