It also covers boat, motor, trailer, equipment from fire, theft and collision. You wouldn’t drive a car without insurance. Don’t run the risk when boating.

MARIE DUNLEAVY â€" Phone 884-3035 Kitchener, Ontario ALL THE WA Y The important thing now, is that sponsors for the walkers are needed. When the public is approached by a potential walk- er it is hoped that financial co- operation may be forthcoming. Sponsor the walker of your choice for whatever you please for each mile he or she walks, 10 cents a mile, a dollar a mile or whatever you wish. And you can sponsor as many walk- ers as you like. At the Walk of Ages staged two years ago, 702 men, women and children started walking â€" plus a horse, a donkey and eight dogs. A lot of old timers said they had never seen such a sight in Unionvilie before. Five hundred and seventy-nine people finished that walk, the entire 20 miles of it. The win- ner was a 19-year-old, Bruce T-heakst'on from MDHS, who walked the distance in two hours and 20 minutes. Young- est to finish were two eight year olds. Oldest to complete the walk was Grandad (Arthur) Kelnnedy of Kennedy ChiroT practic Clinic in Unionville. At 80 years of age at that time, he started walking at 8 am and finished the route at 4.30 in the afternoon. About $22,000 was taken in two years ago. This year it is hoped this will be topped.
