Parents Group to hold auction PRINCE ALBERT NEWS BY PEGGY BREDIN April is Cancer Month. The following people have volunteered their time to canvass for the Cancer campaign in Prince Albert: Sandra Smith, Mary Blake, Theresa Martens, Marylynn Moynes, Ester Clodd, Wes Fox, Diana Brough, Dorothy Linton, Marg Jamieson, Kelly Olsen, Sandy Moore, Kay & Bob Walker and Jim Stevens. One of the above will call on you during April. Please help beat Cancer! ! Eighteen adventurous U.C.W. members set out last Monday for (From page 12) help to prevent infection," he noted. Getting around to his rural calls was often a feat in itself. In winter, he drove through bliz- zards; in the spring the country roads turned to mud, and he once put his car "up to the chas- sis" in mud on the old Oshawa Road. And there was the famous Highway 7A, which each spring, was prone to rather se- vere flooding. Once, when returning to Port Perry after a late night home birth, his car hit the flood- ed causeway and the motor went dead. He spent half the night try- ing to get the motor started and finally when he got back to town, wrote his first letter to a politician demanding that something be done to the cause- way. That angry letter must have done some good, because eventually that causeway was re-built. He told his audience that farm dogs never posed a prob- lem ("they seemed to sense somehow that I was there on business") but he did have one experience with a big gander in anasty mood. "He came straight at me, but by wielding the black bag I was able to keep him away from my shins," he recalled. And once while making a call, he was confronted by a man wielding a shot-gun. "I didn't think I was in any real danger until I suggested he got to hospital. At that he raised the gun and pointed it at me, and I turned to run for the car as a dinner out at Uxbridge. It was Mystery Sister Dinner. A good time was had by all. The parents group that is trying to construct a new playground at the school is having an Auction. It will be on April 12 at the Odd- fellows Hall. If you are doing any spring cleaning don't throw the stuff away, save it for the auction. They may even pick it up for you or maybe on the day before the auction you could leave your treasures at the General Store. (Turn to page 14) Doctor enjoyed career quickly as I could," he related. He learned later from po- lice that even if the man had pulled the trigger, the shot would have missed because the barrel was so badly bent out of shape. Though the rewards from his work as a family doctor were personally satisfying, Doc Dy- mond conceded that medicine is "never too far from tragedy." Dealing with suicide, the patient who preferred death, was something "I was never able to completely come to grips with." He spoke for 45 minutes and his audience seemed to en- joy every word. A good number that night had no doubt been his patients atone time. In fact, he had no sooner stopped talking when a woman approached him, extended her hand and remarked that he had once stitched up that hand. Historical Society presi- dent Jack Moore presented Doc Dymond with a small gift as a token of appreciation for his en- tertaining and informative ad- dress. The Historical Society has presented several guest speak- ers over the last few months in- cluding historian Paul Arculus and sculpter Bill Lishman. On Arpil 26, the guest speaker at the meeting in Bore- lia Community Hall will be Mary Lou Evans from the Min- istry of Culture. Her topic will be the impor- tance of historical buildings and architecture, and how groups can be formed to preserve them in the community. The public is invited and admissions free.
