01ONO WEELLY TI S IT DOESN'T HURT! Some months ago at the Red Cross Blooti Donors Clinic in Bowmanville we were asked byone of the volun- teer helpers, Mrs. Spry, to let our readers know that giving biood doesn't hurt and that there is always a need for more and more donors. We might add to this that a gift of blood is in fact a gift of life. Without blood donors many of the miracles of medicine could flot be accomplished, resulting in a needless loss and waste of many lives. Blood is a needy commodity in our hospitals and one which cannot be substituted through a formula or test tube. Recently there was a greàt shortage in the supplyof blood when, during the summer, it cornes into greater detiand. Some' had to do without or have operations can- celled as there was flot enough blood to go around. Spend a haîf hou- f your time on August 2nd and visit the. blood clinie ini Bowmanville .. and Ât wont hurt either. It could well be that you wîll receivt a sense of satisfaction from your gift of life. WHAT OTHERS SAY OLD FOLKS' CHOICE: CHALLENGE, CROQUET At last. After youth and people with local initiative had a feed at the Liberals' opportunity trough, someone in Ottawa remembered the old people. So here cones New Horizons, the $10 million federal self-help program for voters who are etired. Could there possibly be an eleetion in the wind? Already some spt)kesmen for elderly groups have scorned the plan. Some suspect that the programn will only serve the already active retirees who don't need further organization. Certainly restricting the grants to groups of at least 10 will tend to freeze out the isolated oldsters who have something to offer but would be totally independent. Perhaps, however, the pessimists are overlooking the possibility that aqny traditional activities for the elderly- taking pla ce ini institutions with namnes like. Sunshine Acres, --only turn ýoff oldpeople who wan to do more than kuit and play croquet. A% programn that offers challepre and true seif-bibilment tÔ people prematurply exiIed from active -ýsocieýty may draw thýese people back into ueful work andÏ end their tragie rejection.ý The trick. will be to reach such'individuals, rSany 'of whom live alone in rooms. Their values are different: Some have rejected as unwanted charity the pension sup- plements they're entitled to, ansi one old folks' group turn- ed down the idea of an opportunities-for-th(ý,aged programi last year beceause others' needs for aid were greater. And for many elderly, it's a long time since anyone asked for their ideas or advice on meeting soci.ýd needs. They will not be as quick to respond as the better4,educated or younger or more agàressive people who have, on the whole, made successes of the opportunities for youth and local initiation programis. But their involvement in the, program will be the true test for New Horizons, -Toronto Star DEALS CLOSELY WITH PUBLIC An active and lively group within the confines of the municipal structure is crtainly that of the Committee of Adi dstmen. This committee is composod of three mom- bers and in Clarke those medbors are Messrs. E. R. Lovekin, K. Schoenmhker and R. Osbhorne. The group is an appointed body which doals very closely with the public of the muni- cipality. It could possibîf be said that their contact with those who present requests is as deep as any in the muni- cipal framework. They deal direct and are, in fact, an Éuthority unto themselvos within the community. The account publishod this week (in brief) concern- ing th eir dealings wth the Clarke Fish and Conservation, Club shows to what extent and consideration the committee is giving to their work witbý.a the community. It appears to be no arniýchair appointment. The report on the Fish and Conservation Club pro- posai is certainly in deptb. and conclusive. It is gratifying that this body doos, in depth, study their work and do heed the rights of -the individual in determining the degree in which society must accept this right. It is also evident th-at the committoe daes stand on its own two legs and in the Conservation Club decision, did not hed rumors or goneralities. The docision was based on spocifies as far as they were concerned. The fact that the group doos make -on-the-site in- spection where, any doubt exists, is also an assurance of knowledgeable decisions. Under our municipal set-up the Committee p1ays an ïitterii$i, deyelopmnent and iin Clarke thij pat :mppears tc, ho èonducted writt e real 1senseof esousibility.

The Orono Amateur Athletic Association bas been an active or- ganization for quite some number of years dating back to the early 11940s according to our records. Recent activities by this local agressive group continue to indi- cate their is no ebb in their turn continued. This recommendation is based on the resuits of an expression of an opinion poîl conducted a- mong Ontario producers on July i2, 1972 at polling booths across the province. 0f the 741 eligible producers, 546 cast, ballots in this poli' and 77.8 percent of those who voted, were in favour of con- tinuing the present plan. The Ontario Apple Producers' Marketing Plan, administered by the Ontario Apple Marketing Cbmmtssion was introduiced in October of 1968 following a poll of producers, with the understand inig that a further expression of opinion on its continuance would be conducted afterthe 1971 crop of ýoples had been marketed. M'ARKETING QUOTA PROGRAM FOR ONTARIO EGG PRODUC- ERS A very important document is ý., the mail to ail commercial egg producers in Ontario. This docu- ment known as an Information Re- turn will serve as the basis on -which these produders will be granted- a marketing quota for their produet. Since a system of marketing quotas for eggs will very s hortly ho întroduced in On- tario and ail egg producers with 500 hiens or more will require a marketing quota, the importance o)f this document is evidelit. The Information Returns are being sent -out by- thei.Egg Quota Alloca- tion Commission, which has been established, by the Government of Ontario for the purpose of de- veloping the system of egg mar- keting quotas. Producers of started pullets are also requested to submit in- formation on their operations. This includes those producers of started pullets who also prt,duce eggs for sale. Producers with, flocks of less than 500 heens need not complote the Information Re- turn at this time. It is important that producers complote the Information Return accuratoly and mail as soon as possible, not later than August 4, to the Egg Quota Allocation Com- mission, Queen's Park, Toronto 182, Ontario. If egg producers or started pullet producers do flot receive Information Returns in, the mail, they are asked to obtain them from the office of the Agri- cultural Representative in their County or district.
