2 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, March 5, 1975 SeCdon Two EDITORIAL COMMENT Red Cross Life Insurance The Canadian Red Cross has been in the life insurance business for twenty-eight years. They have a unique program in which everybody can participate, everybody can be a beneficiary. The premium you pay is small. It's just one unit of your good red blood, and you won't even miss it. Your body will replace it within twenty-four hours. By giving it, you will have insured the life of someone who needs blood, someone who might die without it. Someday that someone could be you, or someone you love. If you should need blood, it will be given to you. That's one of the special things about the Red Cross insurance rogram. You can collect even if you aven't paid the premium. But somebody has to pay it. Just look at the facts for a minute. Every day in Canada, an average of one unit of blood must be collected every 15 seconds of every working day to meet the needs of hospitals coast-to- coast. During holiday periods, when the accident rate rises, even more blood is r uired. It has to come from somewhere. So far, science has not managed to produce it synthet- ically. It is the stuff that life is made of, and it remains a natural miracle. Your body produces it and only you can give your blood. So why not pay this special "premium" and insure someone's life? Be a blood donor. Red Cross blood donors are people who love life, so be a regular blood donor. March is Red Cross Month, a time to remember the many services performed in our community by Red Cross, a partner in United Way. When you support your annual United Way campaign, you help Red Cross to continue to serve. Keeping It Clean Love story ..-. She was blond and beautiful with big blue eyes. She was all of three years old. The crew of Environment Ontar- io's touring puppet show saw her first walking, then skipping, along the mall of Yorkdale Plaza in Toronto. The Ministry's puppet theatre has toured Ontario fairs, parks and playgrounds for two years, bringing entertainment and some basic environmental truths home to the children of the province. It caught her eye immediately as she passed with her parents. She tugged free and ran to the front of the crowd where she curled up on the floor before the stage. She smoothed out her skirt and settled back to watch. Those blue eyes got bigger and bigger as the story unfolded. On the stage, a ragged pair of paper mache hippies, fresh from the city, were settling in the country and bringing their untidy habits with them. They left a trail of trash and aper as they inspected their new ome. She chortled and applauded as a witch and a large, hairy monster named George the Garbage Grabber entered the stage. George and the witch took the untidy two in hand and showed them the error of their ways. At the recent ann the Ontario Weel Association in Tor more interesting s F.

She was still for a moment when the curtain fell, but she was one of the first on her feet when the puppets came from backstage to meet their audience. She solemnly reached out a hand to shake the monster's shaggy blue paw. Then she beamed and started to talk tò him, ignoring the puppeteer behind him. Her parents came up, exchanged a few words with the puppet crew, and then led her off to finish shopping. She skipped along with her mother's hand clutched b yone chubby fist, her father's hand by the other. Her father eased the last cigarette from a package into his mouth with his free hand, crumpled the package and let it slip to the floor, The little blond stopped dead. She tugged her hand free, bent down and handed the discarded package to her father. "That's pollution, daddy," she said. He grinned, with a touch of embarrassment, and tossed the empty package into a nearby trash can. Then he swept up the little blonde, kissed her, and carried her away, whistling.

Letter to the Editor the University of Guelph in 1968. Dr. Tamblyn studies under Dr. Waghorn who was a brilliant Biochemist. I try to keep track of the academie achievements of ex-students. i especially feel that those completing post graduate studies receive all too little public acknowledgment. Their degrees represent many hours and years of difficult study and research. I would like to publicly apologize to Dr. Tam lyn for Feb. 24, 1975 Dear Editor:. In a recent edition of your paper I was quoted as saying that Mr. Terry Graham of Orono was the first student from Clarke High School to earn his Ph.D. The quote was mine but I must correct my own error. Mr. Paul Tamblyn,- son of Carlos and Mary Tamblyn of Orono and an earlier graduate of Clarke High School received his Ph.D. in Biochemistry from missing the conferment of his Doctorate. 'I am wondering now if i may have missed any other students whom I may have taught. Academie achievements of a Doctorate study are not that common but any of these degrees may inspire other young people to continue their studies. Yours truly, S.B.

Cancer Society Members Prepare for April Drive Kitchen Talk. by Joan Fielden How to save money when food shopping If there's one thing that everyone is interested in these days, it's how to save money when grocery shopping. If you follow these hints, you may find that they make a big difference. Read the weekly-ads and fit the specials into your basic menu plans. Make a shopping list, and check your menu, your refrigerator and your cupboard. Check the in-store specials. If you need them, then it's a good time to buy them. Be certain a special is really what your family likes. It is poor economy to buy something at a saving and then have it wasted. Be sure to read labels. Is the size adequate for your family, or would a larger size be better value? Keep an eye out for quality. Different prices often represent different grades. Look for the right quality product for the way you will cook and serve it. Return perishables and frozen foods to their proper places if you decide not to buy them. Food that spoils in the store bécause of your laziness only results in higher prices for everybody. Buy only frozen food that is frozen, and place- it in your freezer as soon as you get home. Refrigerate and store perishables as quickly as you can after shopping, and always use within the recommended time. Finally, if possible, shop when the stores are not busy. This way you'll have time to brôwse, to check, to read labels, and to make your choice without feeling rushed.
