Lions blitz for blind Mar. 23 A total of $2,000.00 must be raised by The Port Perry Lions Club during its forth- coming - campaign for the CNIB, in order to provide necessary rehabilitation and support services to blind people living in this area. : 'campaign goal, Campaign 3 In announcing the Chairman Greg Smith emphasized the important role of the public in making these programs possible. i "I don't believe 'everyone realizes that CNIB relies on public contributions for the funds needed to continue these essential programs: It is only through our appeal once a year that CNIB is here to help when sight is lost." Mr. Smith said that loss of sight is indeed a tragedy, but living without sight need not be. CNIB's specialized programs provide blind people with the skills they need to take their place in community life - as wage earners, homemakers, students, parents - as fellow citizens, Listing examples of accomplishments made possible by contributions to CNIB, Mr, Smith explained: "A newly blinded man can - support his family when he returns to the job market following rehabilitation and Job skill training, A blind mother can learn new techniques for running her home and raising her family. The bewildered parents of a blind child can be more confident of a bright future for their youngster. Preven- tion of blindness programs, such as glaucoma testing, can continue.' ) "Remember," he added, "money can't buy sight but: your dollars will help blind people help themselves through continuing CNIB services." Yelverton news Yelverton U.C.W. met March 5, at the home of Ernestine Robinson. Eileen Malcolm had charge of the ® devotional and raised the theme "I shall pass through the world, but once any good that I can do let me do it now because I shall not pass this way again." We haven't long so must choose wisely what we do. A mother gave a little girl a dollar to buy what she wanted and after searching a long time she returned crying because she had to leave so much behind. Life is a trust and we are expected to make the most of it. Nineteen members answered the roll call and minutes were read and approve. Eileen Malcolm and Marjorie Stinson had put together a quilt top that the late Edna Wright had pieced and it would be ready for quilting shortly. Thank you's were read from Ross Hurren, Sarah Troswell, Ida Hurtig. It's hoped a goodly number will make it to the rally at Fenelon Falls on March 30th as some of our ladies have the devotional. We are grate- ful for Miss Foote's gift of a - stove for our kitchen. The finance committee plus Eileen Malcolm are to plan the Pork Barbecue for June 12. Agnes Howe reported that we cleared $229.60 at the recent bake sale. Decided to have a bake sale May 16th at, Springwater Trailer Park. Next meeting at the church on April 2nd and men are invited for supper with Dick Gorwill "(Lindsay lawyer) as guest speaker. Agnes gave an interesting . talk on helping strangers settle in Canada. ; Ida Hurtig gave some hard facts abou ng to settle with ny ney and not knowing English and how one deceitful Canadian made | their lives miserable for many months. Let us never be so rushed that we haven't time to be good citizens of our country. + A delicious lunch was served " by Ernestine Robinson and Hazel Gray. Congratulations to -Mr. Clarence Page who was \ . elected President of the Board of the Farmers Mutural Fire Insurance Company at their 85th annual meeting in Lindsay recently. Mr. and Mrs. Howard Malcolm and Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Stinson are scheduled to spend three days this week in Kansas U.S.A., where they will attend a Pork Congress there. This weekend an oppor- tunity was afforded to Manvers Township residences to hear both can- didates of the two major parties in the Victoria-Hal- iburton. On Saturday evening past, incumbent John Eakins Liberal candidate was on hand at the auditorium of the Manvers Arena to give an account of his stewardship during his past term of office to provincial government as opposition critic of the Industry-Tourism ministry. To his credit: Mr. Eakins has provided representation from the large geographical area he attempts to service to all and sundry regardless . of political affiliation. On Sunday afternoon a former Victoria County Council collegue of ours and an old friend the current Reeve of Fenelon Township, Mr. Dave Murray held court to a gathering of Conserv- ative supporters and friends at the Parish Hall in Bethany. We are extremely fortunate to have these two candidates as personable and capable offer their services to the residents of Victoria-Haliburton. . Possibly the same could be said for the NDP candidate Mr. Arthur Fields, we just don't happen to know him as well as the other two. Mr, and Mrs. Marti Malcolm and Miss Candy Malcolm participated in a Legion Mixed Bonspiel in Lindsay on Sunday and picked up a second and fifth place finish, ; Mr. and Mrs. Terry Malcolm, Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Sinsom and Mr. and _ Mrs. Clarence Page curled in Oakwood on Saturday - their best effort yielded a booby prize. rd Deny Patrol Suspensions! PORT PERRY.STAR -- Wed., March 18, 1981 -- 7 Police will continue rural road patrols Durham Region Police Chief Jon Jenkins emphat- ically denied that officers have been instructed to suspend routine patrols over rural roads during the spring break-up season'in an effort to reduce the wear and tear on cruisers: "All we have done is ask the officers to use a little discretion and common sense when they drive over the rural roads during this season," Chief Jenkins told the Star. "It will not mean' any curtailing or deterioration in levels of service," he stressed. He went on to say that the department is very concerned about the wear -and tear on cruisers at this time of year when frost coming out of the ground causes rural roads to heave and buckle resulting in what he termed "a horrible - amount of damage' to the exhaust systems and under- . carriages of patrol cars. The issue was first discussed at a staff meeting and Chief Jenkins said Friday that since the discre- tionary guidelines were issued, the department has noticed a reduction in damage to the patrol cars. He said these guidelines / apply to all the rural areas of Durham including Oshawa, Whitby. .and Bow- HELPFUL HINT If your ball point pen becomes clogged with exces- sive ink and fuzz, insert it in the filter portion of a cigar- ette.

Scugog + Mayor Jerry Taylor said he was con- cerned when he first heard that the order might be to curtail completely the routine patrols on rural roads. He told the Star he discussed the matter with the Chief of Police and is satisfied with the explanation. Mayor Taylor said he feels itis important as a deterrent factor to have a police presence by routine patrols in the rural areas of Durham. For the Best Deals on New G.M.
