It is now 11 years after Terry‘s of Hope, and each year more I involved and more money is cancer research. I would like to thank the Waterloo Chronicle for its contribution to this year‘s Terry Fox Run. The Kitchenerâ€"Waterloo run was a terrific success. Everyone had a great time and we raised a record amount for this area (approx. $25,000). This is a significant contribution towards the $3.45 million raised in Ontario.

All it‘s doing is simulating activity by launching study groups, task forces and other makeâ€"work. And the legislature activity will be just so much warm air over MPP tonsils until the legislature recesses again. Recesses? That‘s what they call it when they all go home to goof off officially. Fall from grace: This is a sad time of year what with the trees shedding their leaves and so many baseball teams shedding their managers. It may be a surprise to some, but Cito Gaston has survived. helt e e oe e ovey Who knows? With a whole new season of interviews he may yet say something more substantial than that he‘d lil-r_e his boys to have fun. When that machine splutters and incomes and tax revenues falter, the socialist New Jerusalem quickly becomes an even more distant mirage, and the leftâ€"leaners prove even less able to cope with a recession than the freeâ€" enterprisers who know what creates jobs. And please make another note of this: Socialism works badly in good times; it works even worse in bad. Every thinking person knows that tax money doesn‘t grow on trees, that it comes from people who get their money from the privateâ€"enterprise machine. , d at the The Chronicle welcomes letters to the editor.
