One does not have to be a fervent monarchist to share in the Commonwealth's intense admiration for this remarkable lady. Her 1939 visit to Canada with the King cemented the national feeling so vital in the war years, and, as she later observed, "made us", in terms of helping the King overcome his shyness and stammer. Her persistent service during the ensuing years has shown how ridiculous ridiculous is the notion that "senior citizens" have no role to play in society after age 70 or 75. And her gift of raising her daughter, our present Queen, is reflected every day in thé younger Elizabeth's devotion to duty and to the well-being of all her peoples. I invite readers who share frustration in this petty and unworthy decision to write to the Chairman of Canada Post, M. Andre Ouellet, at 2701 Riverside Drive, Suite N0420, Ottawa K1A 0B1 - urging that he personally cause the issuance of a proper proper celebratory commemorative commemorative to honour a wonderful woman, Canada's Queen Mother. Yours sincerely, John Aimers 1 Dominion Chairman The Monarchist League of Canada Clarington Fire Calls ' The Clarington Fire Department responded to the following calls during the period of January 17 to January 24, 2000: 4 property property fires; 1 pre-fire condition; 12 false fire calls; 13 public hazard calls; 4 rescues; and 17 medical/resuscitator calls.
