This Week In Ripley
•
BY AB WYLDS
John McMurchy of LneknOw
and formerly of the sixth cOnces-
sion•west in Huron Township, had
a very sensible letter in last
week's paper. Strikes, along
with the constant depopulation of
the rural areas including both the
kirms and towns in Western Ont-
ario, are two main
fundamental issues. The fact that
-they are so immense accounts
for no political party even men-
tioning them. His letter is also
most timely in the light of this'
new postal strike in Toronto.

stay. If not, leave." This is
totally different to the advice,
we received back in
those depression years of the
thirties. In summary form at col-
lege we were continually told
"make yourself fit the job":
