They are Boy Scout and Girl Guide leaders, Sunday School teachers. They are your neighbours who freely donate countless hours of their time, energy and knowl- edge in the selfless pursuit of help- ing others. Air Canada is looking for them. The national airline, through more than 700 community newspa- pers across Canada, recently launched a nationwide search for. individuals whose contributions have enhanced the lives of others or improved the quality of life in their community. Air Canada's Heart of Gold Award was introduced March 15, in partnership with French and English community newspapers across Canada.

And now my friends, for my weekly joke: A 6-year-old girl was using slang language and was told that if she continued to defy orders to stop, she would have to move. A few days later, she packed her suitcase and was sitting on the porch when a neighbour walked up and.said: "Hi honey, is your daddy home?"
