No such luck, one newspaper says "those glorious tall ships." Well maybe I'm hard to please! I would have said interesting, even educational, but glorious? The Western Union seemed to have the most to offer as far as interest goes, she was the biggest and the only one you could get any way close to for picture taking - the Gedania was roped off and her crew looked as if they would have been happier elsewhere. elsewhere. Anyway, so much for the tall ships - at least for the ones that arrived this far inland. inland. A baby shower was given for Patty Zealand at the home of Mrs. Donna Forth. The enumerators arc making their rounds so if you're qualified, make sure your name is on the list, omissions and mistakes do happen and it's up to the voter to check the list. I'm a yard sale junkie and make many excursions far and wide to these events. This weekend I participated as a vendor and it was fun, and it's true your junk is someone else's treasure. Formally years Kendal was quite active in the tobacco business employing many local workers, but the last few years has seen a decline in the industry, and this year one tobacco farmer quit growing the weed and planted potatoes instead, and if the number of truckloads going by is any indication of success he must have had a bumper crop. I'll bet that beats worrying about early frosts and freak hail storms. Rumour has it that a horse of Wilson Carson's got a little snitly with him and kicked him in the knee cap. - Wilson promptly returned the favour. Thanks to you it works... FOR All OF US United W^y Last Friday, July 27, was Graduation Day at the Applewood Centre. All students attending the school held at the ground floor of the Veltri Complex were recognized for their year's achievements. This summer, 12 students have attended school at Applewood. Next year, a number of students who would otherwise be attending classes at Applewood will be taught at Lord Elgin School in north Bowmanville.

That's Phyllis VanEgmond (left) who is making the presen-, tation to Maria Watts, vice-president of the Durham Region Branch of the Canadian Diabetes Association.

Have you ever experienced tingling in your arms or legs, poor co-ordination of your hands, difficulty in talking, paralysis of your limbs or blindness for a short period? These are some of the very debilitating and frustrating symptoms experienced by people, usually young adults between the ages of 20 and 40, who suffer from Multiple Sclerosis, a major neurological neurological disease, chronic, often progressive, affecting the motor and the sensory functions. functions. It is non-contagious, is not hereditary, and the cause is unknown. It is a disease of the central nervous system. An attack may be followed by a period of remission in which there is no further disability, and there may even be improvement. improvement. But another attack may follow. And then another. This was the essence of a very interesting and informative informative talk given by Mr. Bob Robertson, Chairman of Northumberland County Chapter of the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada following the regular meeting of Warkworth Chapter, No. 279, Order of the Eastern Star, on Tuesday evening, June 19. A closer realization of the physical and emotional impact impact on the lives and families of those suffering from this disease was entrenched on the members by the presence of some local people so afflicted. Each voluntarily shared their feelings and the frustrations experienced upon diagnosis of their problem, how they are coping, and the assistance and support they receive. Because of the nature of the disease and the periods of remission, often it is years before a diagnosis is made, in some cases resulting in loss of employment and difficulty in obtaining a disability pension from the Canada Pension Plan. Medical researchers are increasingly increasingly optimistic about finding the cause and prevention prevention of the disease. Carnation Day sponsored by the Society in May was extremely successful successful with the proceeds to be used for research. They are also optimistic that much earlier diagnosis by the use of the CAT Scanner will be beneficial. beneficial. Funds are also raised through the Readathon programs programs for children -- educating educating them as to the problems of MS. The local chapter of the Society runs swim sessions, gives whatever aid and assistance assistance they can to those afflicted afflicted with the disease, loan of equipment such as bars to assist getting out of the bath, shower chairs. Multiple Sclerosis is the special project of Mrs. Edna Thompson, Worthy Matron of Warkworth Chapter. The profit profit from the sale of a book of poems composed by a victim of MS and money received from special collections throughout the year provided a sizable donation which Mrs. Thompson presented on behalf of the Chapter to Mr. Robertson Robertson for use by the Northumberland Northumberland County Chapter of the Society. MS Research is the special project of the Worthy Grand Matron, Mrs. Jo-Anne Coulter, Coulter, Grand Chapter Order of the Eastern Star in Ontario, and the members throughout the province are looking forward forward in anticipation to the presentation to the National Society at our Grand Sessions in September. An electric wheel-chair and scooters have already been purchased and are in use by people severely afflicted and requiring this type of assistance. Mrs. Audrey B.
