In- looking over our last 50 years and in pre- paring for our next 50 years, it became obvious to us that much. of what is truly great about Uic way.in which we live, is due.-in' large part to thc selfless efforts of many thousands of, people who have ýplayed Important roles 'in build 1ing thc fabric of this na- lion," Mr. Jeanniot said. The program will be. co-. ordinated by Canadian communi- ty newspapers across Canada.
