TERRACE BAY NEWS DECEMBER 14, 1967 CARD OF THANKS - The Thibauet family want to take this opportunity to say thank you to all their, friends who were so kind and thoughtful on their de- parture from Schreiber. Their kindness will long be remembered. The Romeo Thibauet family Shortsighted Citizens Drop Letters in ~.rrer Boxes There's a southeastern Ontario city that has more nearsighted residents than Canadian optometrists have customers, reports Civic Administration. Either that or the citizenry can't read. People in Belleville have been dropping their outgoing mail into litter boxes and' newspaper receptacles. Unlike the Quebec separatists who put stamps upside down on letters, no one believes the Belleville phenomenon is a protest movement. Since garbage men and news- paper vendors discovered the mislaid mail, city au- thorities have printed LITTER in big bold orange type on the containers' blue tops. The newspaper recepta cles are already clearly marked. A solution? Postal authorities may have to come up with letter boxes that rival the city's colorful litter cans. photo by L. Niirenen LtoR.: P.

Con-Men Are Collecting - -For The Needy Kids Confidence artists have reached a new low in bilking Calgary businessmen, Operating under the guise of legitimate charitable institutions, the crooks general- ly appeal for donations to provide entertainment for needy or crippled children. The Calgary Better Business Bureau reports the shady practice has become a serious problem in the city during the past three months. Much fine work is done in Calgary in the name of charity, and operators usually find a sympa- thetic ear when approaching a prospective victim. Several approaches have been used by hustlers, but most have been restricted to the line of providing a day of entertainment for needy children at a popular city recreation spot, or promises to publish childrens' books for hospitalized children. The retailer is con- tacted by phone and asked to contribute $10 to $25 for the venture, and if he consents, the operator in- sists that the business official not go to the trouble of writing a cheque. The confidence man explains that it will be no trouble to drop over to pick up the money personally. Io combat the operation, the BBB has printed cards they suggest should be filled out by anyone soliciting funds for charitable purposes. D.
