Canadians to let the Government know what they are doing on their own to protest against apartheid.the system of racial discrimination against the non-white majority 1s South Africa The names are being collected in a register that will be presented to the United Nations Some examples of action that Canadians have reported to Mr.Clark are: - many shoppers are boycotting South African food products - students at one high school organized a letter-writing campaign, protesting the detention of \u2018prisoners of conscience\u2019 whose unly offence is to seek equality in their own country - a public library had its name pulled from the mailing list for \u2018South African Digest\", distributed by South African\u2019s embassy in Canada.- A teacher's federation sent two teachers to South Africa to assist the black teachers\u2019 organization in conducting seminars on specific subjects.Some initiatives are particularly aimed at helping South African blacks.For example, a group helped start more than 100 child-care projects.A university has made available four scholarships to South African blacks, for study in Canada.The government itself has taken more than 20 measures against apartheid.For example, air links between Canada and South Africa are now banned, and $2 million has recently been added to a Canadian program for the education and training of blacks in South Africa.There is still time to get on the register.Anyone who has spoken out or acted against apartheid can add their name by writing to: The Right Honorable Joe Clark.Room 165, East Block, House of

its neighborhood met that gentleman to confer with him on the subject of the building and maintenance of a railway station at the crossing near that place.The land owned by the railway company at the crossing.is so much below the level of the track that a considerable expense would need to be incurred in raising the ground to be occupied by the station.Mr Foster estimated that the expense of fillings, construction of a siding of sufficient length to hold two cars, and a station building, similar to the one at Bryson's.would be some three thousand dollars.50 years ago (From the Huntingdon

judging by what I saw last night there are a lot of slow learners driving hikes in Huntingdon.I sat for half an hour or so at the lower bridge corner and counted 51 violations of traffic laws committed by cyclists ranging in age from 6 to 60.Most violations were failure to obey the Stop sign.but many also were one-way violations.Another conclusion I came to was the idea that few people know the three sequent turn.What most cyclists and motorists don\u2019t realize is that the bicycle is considered a vehicle under Quebec Law.subject to the same responsibilities and rights as any car or truck.If more motorists would acknowledge the cyclists\u2019 right to the road and if cyclists drove their bikes more responsibly.I'm sure the roads would be a lot safer and more enjoyable for
