The following is NOT a serial story -- but parts of one story! Many thanks to both James Barnaby and Leland Harvie for posting the article of July 4th, 2003 as printed in The Chronicle Herald newspaper. There is ONE correction, as follows: When Bill S-13 was wending its way through the Senatorial channels, Senator Lorna Milne tried to have amendments made by a Nova Scotian Senator. These were blocked by another Senator (name on record), with the result Bill S-13 had Third Reading and was passed by the Senate -- complete with restrictions Senator Milne attempted to have removed. Bill S-13 has had First Reading in the House of Commons, but $$$$ and other pre-election business was of more importance than Bill S-13 -- was not even consided as a priority bill. At present, Bill S-13 has had First Reading. Should Second Reading ever happen and the bill is referred to Committee, amendments are in place with back-up Members of Parliament. The amendments would dump the restrictions in the garbage can where they belong. There is one problem:- Should amendments be passed in the House of Commons, Bill S-13 will have to go back to the Senate for approval. The same Senators who disapproved before are still there. It is of utmost importance you contact YOUR Member of Parliament and ascertain his/her viewpoints -- do not go by our scoreboard -- unless you check dates of approval. Should you send a Letter to the Editor as James Barnaby did, the newspaper has the privilege of changing any headline and editing -- unless one pays for an advertisement. Muriel M.

The email is self-explanatory..the article that she mentions is one that I found when looking for an obituary on the Comeau Inn and she asked me to forward it to the Digby Museum. You won't find it an eye opener as you have mentioned it before about the box to check. I am sure Luella wouldn't mind if you use it as an example.

Last month I had to speak before 3 groups and when I mentioned about the census and they had no idea and all said if they saw a box asking for their permission to release their information in 90 years they would likely not check it as they did not realize why it was important for them to do so. One group was actually a local Historical Society re Museum interests and not genealogy as much. Luella Marshall [email protected] --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Hi Muriel - this is again off topic but I noticed an interesting event yesterday with the start of the Calgary Stampede. The downtown helipad was full yesterday morning - guess who - all the who's who attending the first day. Peter McKay, Joe Clark etc. This is not a new thing either, happens every year. Wonder who pays - at a time of year when accommodations are at the highest price of the year? And I don't think I saw them in the parade, they were attending at the U.S. Consul's barbecue. I can only afford to go on Senior's Day. Freda Stewart Calgary From: "Muriel M.
