Those who have followed this umn for a few years know t I'm a LaMarsh supporter. 1 ire her because I believe she rom the kind of sturdy stock it made Canada what it is lay. She's the type of a woman o would have shouldered a atgun as easily as a shawl in )neer times; she's the modern ntier female without the log bin and the community rning needle. When Judy was in the House Commons she made her asence felt. Whether because a was continually shooting off r mouth or simply opening it d putting.. her foot in it, Judy is noticed in Ottawa - and at's more than you could say r some of her male associates, en (until recently) the darling the Commonwealth, Pierre liott Trudeau. Some may argue that Judy Ls never a politician. So what's .ong'with that? A politician is o n tes is are nothing more than a salaried thheart, shellwlphassold thethe guts and perhaps the soul for a party appointment and f or another vote. To say that. Judy did a good job or a bad job while in parliament is to compare her with other members (heaven forbid); today's government officials are expected to please some people and offend others, think party without question, act party without fail, and remain party until death. In truth then, Judy isn't teIling anything us an .thin new in her book "Judy LaMarsh; The Bird in a Gilded Cage". All Judy is doing is naming names, and that's where it gets a little sticky. That's why she's, being accused of betraying confidence, or something equally as stuffy. Those who refute Judy for writing her book bound for the best seller list are people who would, if they could, bury their heads in the sand until the monster went away. No one, it should be pointed out, seems to accuse' Judy of inventing information about her parliamentary cohorts and their antics. The lady lawyer is being chastised because she's telling the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. They say she is degrading herself and her country. That's like saying a crime is permissable unless you are caught; then it becomes an offence against society. My hat is off to the unpredictable Miss LaMarsh.

Eighteen members answered the roll call by giving ideas for interesting winter hobbies. Thank -you notes were received from Viola Farquhar, Sandra and Clayton Connell, Olive Penfound, Mrs. Wes Hoggart, Effie Cornish, The Children's Society. and Mary, Bill and Francis Blacker. Two readings were given by Mrs. Jean Cummings and a guessing contest was conducted by Mrs. Farquhar for Margaret Ball. Edith Wright was the winner: Another contest, conducted by Lorna Ellis, was a flower contest won by Marion Snell. The February meeting is to be at Marion Snell's and the roll call will be "a party suggestion," Those on the program include Mrs. Farquhar,' Laura Forbes and Mrs. Ellis. convinced that she wrote toe book becs she uet she se felt had to .and I'm proud that she has chosen to do it in this country, in this year -after -her -resignation and in the face of her tormentors. She is courageous, but she's enough of a woman to leave herself an out. The book will be read, criticized and forgotten and .Jgdy LaMarsh will have etched a comfortable niche for herself in the hallowed history of Canada. PSI rates up 50 x Physicians' Services Inc. subscriber groups have been advised that their subscription rates will be increased next April, for the first time in nearly four and one-half years. The new rates are approximately 46 per cent higher than present rates, which became effective December 1, 1964. New rates for the comprehensive Blue Plan, which covers the majority of P.S.I.. subscribers, will be $5.75 for single subscribers, who now pay $3.90; $13.75 for subscribers with one, dependant, who now pay $9.40 and $19.40 for subscribers withmore than one dependant, who now pay $13.25. Comparable rates for the Brown Plan, which covers medical services in hospital only, are $2.50, $6.00 and $7.85. P.S.I. cover approximately 1,500,000 Ontario residents under group contracts with employers. In most cases employers pay at least half the cost of subscriptions. In a letter to subscriber groups, C. A. Bond, secretary -treasurer of P.S.I. said the new rates reflect the actual cost of providing medical care, with less than five cents of each subscription dollar being used for administration. Among reasons given for the increase were the addition of new and costly benefits demanded by subscribers, the increased use of medical services, the higher cost of physicians' care and the development of new and expensive methods of investigation and treatment of illness. Mr. Bond said that during the past several months P.S.I. has been paying out approximately one million dollars a month more than its subscription income. By March, under the existing rates, the reserve fund necessary to maintin the corporation's financial stability will be well below the established requirement.

Goderich District Collegiate Institute are .seeking to have .a local of the International ilnion of gngineers certified as bargaining agent. Mr, Murphy, a lawyer, said•ho was contacted about the matter by the GDCI. principal and, on his own initiative, filed a reply for the board with the Labour Relations Board in Toronto. He told the school board he believes the :engineers' application. is defective and should be challenged, The school board authorized him to instruct a Toronto law firm to appear on its behalf before the labour board at a public hearing :next week. There is a similar case in Kent County where workers in one school seek to organize in a labour union, One question to be decided is whether a union can be certified to represent just one school or whether it must represent a majority of the workers in all the county's schools. In other business, the boaid voted to proceed with. construction of a $408,000 addition to the Robertson Memorial School in Goderich. The eight -room wing will replace Victor Lauriston School which was built in 1854 and now houses 278 seventh and eighth grade pupils. Tenders on the project were received by the outgoing local school board only last month and approval of the Ontario Department of Education came through just days ago; it was reported. A special board meeting has been called for Monday evening at the courthouse in Goderich to discuss organization and staffing of the new system, according to Mr. Lavis. In preparation for that meeting, D. J. Cochrane, director of education, met with all the county school principals Tuesday afternoon in Clinton. The board is also making plans to draw up a budget and begin teacher • salary negotiations. Three board members were sent to a seminar on negotiating in Toronto last week. • Convertibles to go? Convertible cars may become scarce - perhaps obsolete. American Motors has dropped all convertible models from its 1969 lineup, and other manufacturers are believed to be considering phazing out their convertible lines. The main reason is the expectation that auto makers will be forced to install roil bars, to protect occupants in case the car overturns. Growing acceptance of air conditioning, and growth in sales of two -door hardtops are other reasons given against retention of convertibles. WARDEN (Continued from page 1.) In a more serious vein, Kreuter hung the chain of office about the new warden's neck and suggested he Wear it with "diligence and humility", The oath of office was. administered by Judge R.. S. Hetherington who told Warden Hayter h saccsamafLan indicates l es "that all members bave faith In you," Reverend G. L, Royal, Gederich, during the .devotional segment, reminded council of the pillars of good government - religion, justice, counsel and treasures. $peaking to council, Warden Hayter announced his hopes to "try to maintain our present spending," Re did predict higher labour costs. The road program, he noted, would remain the same with no mill rate increase. Warden Hayter urged the new agricultural committee to make some attempt during 1969 to assist the farmers of Huron to solve their most ,pressing problems - lack of management training, high machinery costs, uneconomic farm units etc. He suggested that a regional government committee should be set up to find answers to the questiond, "Where does Huron County fit into regional government plans? What will be the cost and what will be the benefits to the people?" "I'm in favour of change if it is the best for our people," he concluded. Stephen Councillor Cecil Desjardine went within the rail to congratulate the new warden. He mentioned the fact that of the last three Reeves elected in Stephen Township, all have now been elected as warden. "I think that speaks well for the calibre of men we have in our municipality," said Desjardine. Also on hand to extend congratulations was R. E. McKinely, MP for Huron, an old hockey buddy of the new warden. During the afternoon, a striking committee comprising Elmer' Hayter, Wilmer Cuthill, Jack Alexander, Frank McFadden and Warden Hayter was named. The inaugural session was continuing Wednesday at presstime and was scheduled to conclude today. Following the three-day meeting, a new .plan will be put into operation by the council. Instead of three or four sessions of two or three-day duration, the county council will meet once a month on the last Friday of the month. Changes are also being made in committee structure.
