Ganaraska Forest a prime study area The Ganaraska Agreement Forest has been selected as one of the prime study areas to document tfye broad range of benefits which accompany the intelligent manage- meht of forests. The review and report is being undertaken by the Conservation Council of Ontario, a registered charitable organization which has been promoting the wise use of natural resources for over 35 years.

This is a simple stS r y about a rather insignificant evrnt, to some people 1 suppose! Bid one that restored my faith in human nature. My wife, along with a group of women took a bus ride to Amhurst, N.Y. for a weekend shopping spree, some three weeks ago. The bus was driven by a lady familiar to a lot of you I imagine, Mrs. Joyce Flett. After an energetic time prowling through the stores they duly returned returned home, and my wife happily opened up her parcels, eager to present present me with a pair of moccasins she knew I wanted. Unfortunately they weren't there, in the rush to catch the bus home, she had left them somewhere, probably probably in the hotel room. The cost value was immaterial, compared to - Selling Out a Shell Out The Peanut Campaign Continues Only two weeks remaining in The Kidney Foundation of Canada Peanut Campaign, but bags of these low-sodium peanuts can still be purchased from local volunteers or Fabricland stores. The monies raised from the Peanut Campaign funds public education programs, much needed patient services and research to find a cure for kidney disease. Kidney disease can affect anyone at any age. Persons with end stage kidney disease must endure triweekly triweekly blood cleansing treatments that last three hours. During this time patients may experience headaches, dizziness and other unpleasant side effects. Lucky patients patients receive a chance at a healthier life: they receive a kidney transplant. Unfortunately, the wait for a kidney can be long. Furthermore, Furthermore, kidney transplants are not a cure. Transplants, like dialysis, are only another form of treatment. There is no cure for kidney disease. That is why the Peanut Campaign continues - to raise money for research to find a cure, and to support programs and services services until the cure is found. The peanuts are packaged in handy handy snack packs, perfect for Hallowe'en handout. One bag contains contains eighteen of the snack packs and costs $3.00. The Kidney Foundation Foundation sells the peanuts by the box ($72.00 for 24 bags). the disappointment on her lace, however wc wrote it off as being a lesson learned the hard way, A few days ago Joyce, having returned from another trip to the same hotel, (namely "The Hotel Cavalier") proudly presented me with m.y moccasins. Apparently somebody^on the- hotel staff had found the parcel and turned it into the hotel pffice, who in turn had handed it over to Joyce, to bring back to Canada. A small thing you say? Not to Lynne and I it isn't, that hotel staff are to be congratulated. My wife and I thank you. This is a truly a wonderful example of "Hands Across the Border."
