She gave it the same enthusiasm that hundreds of youngsters had responded to " they learned swimming, both orn- amentnl and life-saving, from her. Teaching is another longtime hob- by. She tackled the introduction of Medic-Alert for Canada through a building of public relations with only a typewriter. Representative groups were approached with just pennies for postage. "The greatest single factor in Canadian Medic-Alert success," says Larry Stevenson, voluntary managing director and also a Wes. ton resident, "is Ada Adamson's sincerity." Medic-Alert located at 174 St. George St., Toronto. is an inter. national watch-dog that saves the lives of people with a medical problem where they go. Problems such as a killing allergy to cer- tain drugs, or those with a de. pendence on regular use of a par- ticular drug. People with a rare blood type and those with post- operative reliance on transplanted body parts. Scuba divers and wearers of contact lenses. Medic-Alert recognizes over 200 medical problems where an emer- gency team could bring faster life-saving help if the problem were known at once while the ac- cident or shock victim was still unconscious. Medic-Alert protec- tion is supplied through a warn- ing bracelet identification of the medical problem, a wallet card with more complete details and a seven day around-the-clock tele, pho,ne service for turther identi.

"Char _... m-..“ .-,....-. . ___..__ .reeeeee ___ The latest chapter to the Great Britain-Rhodesia fiasco came just last week when the British government warned Smith's regime that the impending execution of several Rhodesian blacks who had been convicted of murder would be considered murder itself. That order was defied and gave the former great world power. once again the excuse it needed to send in troops. Britain turned down its last chance and thus admitted that it is only huffing, puffing and bluffing and didn't, intend to blow the white man's house down. _ the illegal regime, Prime Minister Wilson fumed a deaf ear, .._ ...,..... A The Smith regime is now copying South Africa's policy of apartheid -- establishing schools for whites and schools for blacks. separate transportation systems. separate rec- reational facilities and so on. Soon black and white will he forbidden to mingle together and blacks will he tortured and tossed in jail for launching underground movements to get their land and country back to the millions it originally belonged to, So far as the US butchorshop operation in Viet Nam goes, Canada should declare that it is a totally evil war in Asia, ban the production of Canadian war machinery that will eventually end up killing the Vietnamese people and span sor a resolution in the U.N. demanding an immediate halt to the war. "iTiarbath will follow as surely as there in South Africa one of these days. Had 250000 blacks taken over a country where four million whites lived, Britain would send its army in to take command within 24 hours. But then the mother of democracy doesn't practice what she preaches does she? When the President”? Commission investigated the riots in the LS. last summer, it blamed white racism for the massive out, burst of civic disobedience. People other than whites outmumber whites in this world at least 4 to 1. One of these days they'll get their own back at the "superior" white man who pretends he's God when he exploits. cheats, murders and lies to the others. Since Great Britain is acting so brutally these days. I think that Canada should limit the number of British immigrants to. say. a hundred a year and give the Englanders a tasie of their own medicine. . Not' all whites are racists, hut those currently in com. mand of the UK. and the US. are. Those of us who are not had better act quickly to remove those who are’before we are all destroyed by mass hatred that is too blind to dis- iinguish friend frown Wilson should hang his head in shame tor yet another reason. Ten years ago where the United Kingdom gave in- dependence to Kenya, the minority Asiatic people in that country were guaranteed British citizenship to ensure that they could always escape to Britain if they were ever perse- mted. -ivvi/u, just a week or two ago. Britain reneged on this pledge too. Apparently many Britons and racists who don't want théir island to be contaminated with a little Vcolort a "iiauihe%rnrk/ssion investigated the war in Viet Nam or Britain's disgusting role in Rhodesia - again white racism would have to he found guilty.

MEALS ON WHEELS Always doing good wherever they are needed. the ladies Auxi. liary of Branch 3l, Mount Dyinis Legion have started on a new endeavour. It is the "Meals on Wheels." They served their first dinner last Thursday. March 14, reports President Barbara Le Sarge. Chef is Nelly Cam. ' The ladies took 15 dinners to the homes of the sick, shut.ins and crippled in Mount Dennis. Many are older residents (some in" their 90's) who have only their old age pensions and living alone with no one to care for them. Barbara tells of one old gentle- man. 99 years of age. who wel- t-omed them with open arms and said “Thahk God you have come.” Here indeed was an errand of mercy. Whether we are young or old, we need to be fed, we need some- one who shows an interest in us and cares whether or not we are alright. Meals on Wheels is ful. filling this purpose. OLV CARD PARTY The community program for "Meals on Wheels" got I big boost last Thursday night when over 200 attended a card party at Our Lady of Victory Catholic Church on Guestville to support the Mount Dennis Legion, Branch 31 Ladies Auxiliary in their ef- forts to bring hot meals to Mount Dennis shut-ins. These visits mean so much to? the lonely and as necessary as: the food that is brought. "Meals l on Wheels" is one of the mostl practical ways of meeting the needs of our senior citizens. , Euchre Winners High men's prize went to John Convener for the Bazaar was Mrs. Pauline Noble.
