Centre “I had always thought it was beyond our means,“ said Mrs. Davis. but when she found out it would cost only $7 per month the family picked out an Italian child who was one of six children in a family whose father was unable to work for health reasons SENT CLOTHES Besides the money sent to Cansave the Davis‘ sent clothes outgrown by their own four children and letters to an Italian child named Anna. During that time. Mary taught herself Italian so she would not miss anything in the child‘s letters. Both Mary and Jim were saddened to find out this child had leukemia, but throughout the remaining five years of her life they of- fered support through letters as well as Cansave. She and her husband read a newspaper article about a man in Newmarket who sponsored 12 children through an organization called Cansave. “It all started about this time back in 1968 said Mary Davis. Even non-Christian children send cards to recognize the Christian festival of the family that has supported them financially and emotionally by letters. At this time the Davis' support children through eight different agencies. By paying a monthly sum,, money is sent to educate. provide food, clothing and medical assistance to needy children throughout the world. Mary and Jim Davis support 29 children in all corners of the globe and say in past years they have received cards for months after Christmas. At least one family in Maple expects to be getting Christmas cards right into July, but they are not attacking the Canadian mail service when they say it.

In the foreground are pic- tures of an Italian child named Anna who was one of the first children sup- ported through Cansave by the Davis’. (Liberal Photo by Bruce Hogg) “You find people are very much the same. They pray for us and we for them. God is the same no matter what you call him.” The youngest two children in the Davis family like to exchange letters with some of the children and both parents encourage the interest suggesting benefits in geography. customs, religion and acceptance of people with different religion, color and creed. “It's a very ufiifying experience." said Mary. With all agencies, donors are encouraged to write letters and the children correspond through a translator provided by the agency. TIME LAPSE Mary Davis does all the letter writing, trying to answer each letter as it comes in. always being aware of the time lapse due to red tape, the mails and translators. / ‘jAnna started us off." said Jim‘ relating how both he and his wife felt they received much enjoyment from the experience and now sponsor other children in many countries including the Phillippines, Mexico, Indonesia, Kenya, India, Korea, Italy and Hong Kong.

Ernest Madden. manager of marketing for GO Transit, said a survey was conducted in June of this year‘ about eight weeks after the line was launched. and at that time passengers were generally happy with the service. However, said Mr. Madden. requests for more frequent service and a later homebound train dominated the comments of the respondents. GO Transit. is readying a survey to find out the wishes of regular commuters of the rail service from Richmond Hill to Union Station. GO Transit survey There are two new telephone numbers to call for any information relating to the depot or newspaper pickups. She said the committee would appreciate it if home owners would cover the neatly tied bundles of papers with plastic in case of snow storms to keep the papers dry and reminded people they cannot recycle plastic at the depot, yet. Marlene Turner. a volunteer worker for Richmond Hill Com- mittee for Recycling. wants to remind residents newspaper pickups on regular garbage days are back in full swing.
