Letter Dear Editor, The residents of Ontario have once again demonstrated in a very tangible way, remarkable concern and understanding for the children of the world. In the past year Unicef's programs have generated an all time high revenue in Ontario of approximately $892,000 to assist children in the developing areas of the world. This support bas come from Ontario residents at all levels: From students who carried the Hallowe'en boxes, engaged in walk-a4hons, starvathons and many other novel fund-raising events. From school boards and teachers who are doing an excellent job of teaching "World citizenship" to our children, preparing them to live in the truly "global" village of their future and providing them with an s to the opportunity to care and to share with the children of other lands who share their world. From the many parents who encourage the children to participate and who, along with. many service clubs, groups, senior citizens and other individuals, assist in distributing boxes, handling funds collected and in selling, purchasing and sending Unicef cards. From banks, trust companies, vending companies, etc. who assist in handling and remitting funds collected. From - many good "Corporate citizens" who purchase Unicef cards, provide space for volunteers to sell cards, and in many cases, sell the cards themselves. From many newspapers, radio stations, television stations and "public figures" EM TELEPHONE 623-6555 JOHN MANUEL, C.G.A. Income Tax and Related Accounting Services 67 King St. East - Suite 2 Bowmanville, Ontario LiC 1N4 Editor who provide excellent free publicity for these endeavours. All residents of Ontario can therefore take real pride in this remarkable effort. The funds collected are matched by the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) and in most cases this total is matched again in some way by the recipient country (labour, materials, transportation etc.) Thus, our Ontario-raised funds go a very long way in supporting Unicef Canada's projects for this year. Many of these projects relate, in some way, to the provision of clean water. This has become one of the major activities of Unicef. It is a disquieting fact to know that at least half the world's children live without access to assured safe water. Water- borne diseases are, in turn, among the worst killers and cripplers of children. Could we, therefore, do better than focus on water as our major interest? No single contribu- tion we could make carries with it such a potential for positive change. To the residents of Ontario who contributed these funds, on behalf of the many volunteers who were working for and counting on your support, and on behalf of Unicef's children who face a brighter future as a result, may we say a most sincere thank you. Sincerely yours, Jacqueline Bradshaw Provincial Chairman An Open Letter to Oshawa Council via Mayor Jim Potticary. Dear Folks, The other day I was standing in line in the Bow- manville Post Office when all of a sudden I couldn't breathe! The person behind me was holding a lit cigarette. Does a non-smoker, who is allergic to tobacco smoke ........... have no right to buy stamps? Again in the Jury and Lovell drug store I lost my breath at the checkout counter when a person came up behind me with a cigarette smoking. Does a person who is allergic to tobacco smoke have no right to go shopping? And what about Public Transportation? We also are prevented from seeing movies or theatre productions in buildings where the smoking area is not defined and enforced. Over the past forty years, I have observed that smokers are among the most selfish, inconsiderate people in the world. Yours for cleaner air, Mildred C. Young P.S. I even had to quit my last job because too many of the other employees smoked and the atmosphere where I had to. work was often heavy with smoke. The gift for all seasons...
