Dennis McGann photo News Carnival seeks new committee Next year's Russell Winter Car- nival will be organized by a totally new committee with fresh ideas and an added burst of energy, says retiring Carnival Committee chairman Ray McNamara. The annual event, co-sponsored by the Russell Recreation Associa- tion and the Russell Lions Club, has been co-ordinated for the past few years by McNamara, Lions club member Dave Davies and Recreation Director Paul Wylie. "It's time for another crew to take over," McNamara said "Paul has been doing the arena co-ordination as well as taking care of the liquor licenses and brought in outside donations from corporations like Gillette and Labatt's but he has now resigned as Russell's Recreation Director and won't be here next year.

McNamara, a Lions Club ex- ecutive member, commented. The retiring chairman says the former committee members are very willing to offer all the help they can to the incoming commit- tee making the transition as smooth as possible. "It's a satisfying project," he said, "with all the funds raised, during carnival week, going to sponsor community activities like minor hockey, minor baseball, and assistance to senior citizens and the handicapped."' McNamara says, however, it's almost a year-long job and after four carnivals it's time to step down and allow someone else to put in their new ideas and energy. A Search Committee to find three new people is being headed by McNamara and former Recrea- tion Association Chairman Jack Chaters. Anyone interested in be- ing involved is asked to contact one of the two members of the Search Committee. Farm show set to go - The Ottawa Valley Farm Show opens on Tuesday, March 23.

Eileen Hamilton acts as the Branch's Secretary-treasurer and this year's campaign Chairman is Deny Achtereekte. . Recently, people have been ask- ing the Canada-wide organization to consider using the funds raised by the Terry Fox campaign for projects other than research.
