TERRACE BAY NEWS Serving the District ~ Ma DEPENDS ON ME C.G.1.T. WALKATHON MOST SUCCESSFUL The Spirit of the C.G.1.T. Walkathon proved, beyond a doubt, that the youth of our North Shore Communities, as well as the adults, can go al! out for a worth while cause. They are willing to share with those les: fortunate than themselves. The money raised b, the Walkathon goes to Mrs. Chalmers, in charge of Social Welfare work in the Lakehead district, who serve all who come in, re- gardless of religious affiliation; to the Mission.for Lepers and the Bible Society. : The Walkathon was most successful. There were 188 persons who left Terrace Bay, including some from Schreiber and Rossport . ' Walkers registered at the Recreation Centre, and were joined by 90 or more, at St. Andrew's United Church, Schreiber, one of the checkpoints where they had a chance to freshen up and partake of food and drink. The Navy League bus stopped along the way and offered coffee and pop. The Husky station at Whitesand opened special- ly for the walkers. All the cars driving back and forth offered great encouragement. The youngest walker to start out from Terrace Bay was 3 years old, and she walked 4 miles. A 4 year old walked all the way to Schreiber . With so many volunteering to get into the act, special thanks goes not only to the walkers, but to those who sponsored them, some as far away as Winnipeg, and London, Ontario; to those who sup= plied cold and hot drinks and refreshments, manned the checkpoints, and provided transportation. St. John's Ambulance was on hand to as sist in any way. continued page 8..
