Funds raised A total of $1,241.37 was raised for the Cystic Fibrosis fund by the students and teachers at Holy Angels School in Schreiber last month. Here Grade 7 student Chris Commisso is shown presenting the cheque to Kinsmen Club President Gord Moorey. The Grade 7 class was instrumental in making the fund raising day a success. The biggest fund raiser was a draw for a "ghetto blaster," won by Mrs. Norma Duf- fy. The total was the most raised by the school for one event. (Photo supplied by Holy Angels School) Grant awarded In 1984, the Terrace Bay Canada Day Committee re- ceived a $900 grant from the Secretary of State of Canada, and last year the grant went up to $3,500. This year Committee mem- ber Ollie Chapman was surprised yet delighted to receive $5,000 from the government for the town's July 1 celebrations. Chapman, who is also the Reeve of the township, received the $5,000 cheque and a letter from the Sec- retary of State Benoit Bou- chard earlier this month. She read the letter at the June 9 meeting of Terrace Bay Council. This is one of the larg- est grants awarded for Can- ada Day celebrations in the country, when the size of the town is taken into acc- ount, Chapman explained. "I'm very pleased to get the money," she said. The Committee had almost jok- ingly applied for a total of $10,000. "It's nice to have the efforts of the town and the Committee recognized like this." Bouchard, in his June 2 letter, said "I would like to extend my congratulations for your organization's in- itiative in planning cele- brations for our national holiday."' He added, "To each and everyone of you, my best wishes for a very happy Canada Day."' The full Canada Day weekend schedule appears on page 9 in this week's issue of the Terrace Bay- Schreiber News. Clean Up Your Act / Pitch-In By Marylyn Turcotte The regular June meet- ing of the Terrace Bay Catholic Women's League was held on Monday, June 9 in the church hall. The meeting was offered for a safe and happy summer and was opened with a decade of the Rosary, the League Prayer and a Scrip- ture reading. Claire reported that so Leffers fo the Editor Dear Editor As a parent, I want a peaceful world for my children. But because of the nuclear arms race, I know they are facing an uncertain future. What is worse, they know it too, and are afraid. My instinct is to protect them, as is any parent's. Our children shouldn't have to grow up in fear! That's why the Canadian Centre for Arms Control and Disarmament was established--to help make sure that Canada does all it can to prevent nuclear war. And that's why I'm writing to ask for your support. We at the Centre think Canada can make a real contribution to global peace, and want you to join us in achieving it. Canada is less bogged down than ' the superpowers in the ideological rigidity of Cold War thinking. It's easier for us to move beyond out- moded ways of thinking and develop practical new approaches to arms con- trol. Avoiding nuclear war isn't just up to the super- powers. It's all of our sur- vival that's at stake! And our children's future. Since its formation three years ago as a private, non- partisan organization, the Centre has rapidly become Canada's leading national voice for vigorous Cana- dian arms control policies. Referring to it as "an in- dependent little research outfit", the Globe and Mail called the Centre, "Ot- tawa's toughest potential critic". far we have 54 members and the door-to-door mem- bership drive will now begin. Anyone wishing to help with the membership drive please call Claire Roen. Our annual clothing drive for the Red Lake Missions will be held from June 15 to 29 only. All clothes must be clean, packed in boxes, and left in right in our assessments of government policy, we've also been constructive and imaginative. For.that rea- son, our views have regul- arly been sought by parl- iamentarians, peace move- ment activists, journalists, industry, and many ordin- ry Canadian Citizens. Spar Aerospace, Canada's lead- ing space technology firm, even contacted the Centre to help develop plans for a satellite, called PAXSAT, which would monitor a space-weapons ban. Please help us in our im- portant work by making a contribution to the Cana- dian Centre for Arms Con- trol and Disarmament. We need your support to keep the ideas coming and the pressure on for forceful and effective Canadian arms control policies. Together, we can ensure that Canada pulls its weight in the global search for ce: 1986 has been declared the International Year of Peace by the United Na- tions. That gives all of us a focus to redouble our commitment to working for a secure, peaceful future for our children.

Proven Growth Record: Mariner is a division of the Brunswick Corp., one of the world's fore- most manufacturers of recreational products. We didn't sell our first motor in the U.S. until 1976, yet we're already one of the top four brands in a retail marine business that totals over $8 billion annually. 'Df course the impressive level of growth that Mariner has ex- perienced thus far hasn't happened by accident. It took an aggressive group uf marine dealers backed by a Mariner ° blueprint for growth. Products That Perform: Mariner Outboards have a reputation for reliability. After you sell them, they don't come back. We offer a complete line of outboard power options from 2 thru 200 horsepower, plus six electric models. Support Programs That Work: We take care of our dealers. We support them with financial assistance, sales incentives, local co-op and national advertising programs. They're simple, straightforward programs, directed toward bolstering the "bottom line" for Mariner dealers. Dealers Who Make Money: We understand that profitable dealers are the key to our growth. And we're firmly committed to developing a network of strong, independent dealers who are properly spaced. So they'll compete for sales with other brands, instead of each other. Opportunity Is Knocking. Are You Listening? Our dealer organization is growing rapidly, but we still need representa- tion in anumber of areas. So there may be an opportunity for you to share in our growth and success.
