There is no excuse whatever for a constant increase in the debt of the richest province in Canada. It has to stop. I'm voting for Jack Riddell to drive this home at Queens Park.

Cancer Campaign ready
I'm just back from the Ontario.
Weekly Newspaper Association
convention which was held in
London (Ontario) this year, It
was my first convention and
certainly I Came away with a
great, great longing to continue
as a part of the trade.
There's only one email thing
which is bugging me about the
whole event, It is the inborn
prejudice in people which in-
sists that men do all the truly
big jobs in the world,
I recall reading one time
about a child who was injured
in a car accident and needed
surgery immediately. When the
child was taken to the
neurosurgeon, the doctor
refused to operate on the
grounds that the child was a
relative, The doctor was not
the child's father, his uncle, his
brother, his cousin. The
question was then asked - what
relation was the neurosurgeon
to the patient.
A study of the puzzle showed
that the persons who tried to
find the answer were
thoroughly baffled although it
should have been totally ob-
vious that the doctor was the
patient's mother. But then,
who would ever suppose that a
woman could be entrusted with
the touchy business of brain
surgery?
Much the same thing hap-
pened to me at the OWNA
Convention albeit in
a much less dramatic
way, To ihe -01k of - the
people at the convention who
did not know me, I was thought
to be perhaps the wife of the
editor but hardly the editor;
the junior reporter maybe who
was delegated to pick up any
awards on behalf of the editor
who would naturally be too
urgently required at the desk to
attend the convention; the lady
friend of the virile editor who
must have gotten bombed out
his mind the previous evening
and was unable to attend the
session; or some interested
female who just happened to
worm her way into the conven-
tion for the free ride.
In other words, there was
very little thought given to who
I was, for, unless a woman gets
up and makes an issue of
things, she's just another body
who really doesn't have much
to do with the serious day-to-
day routine of running a
' new spa ii6r
The final blow came today,
It was a letter addressed to my
dear husband who accom-
panied me to the convention.
The poor guy who doesn't know
a font from a outline, received a
letter from the Ontario
Ministry of Industry and
Tourism. It was written by
Fred T. Marshall, director of
the public relations branch.
Among other things, the let-
ter extended to my husband
"personal congratulations" for
his "accomplishment".
And Mr. Marshall's letter
wasn't the only one of its kind .
A form letter containing cer-
tain vital information about
Webster's Weekly Press Direc-
tory, Orillia, was addressed to
my lumberman husband.
It will be truly interesting to
keep score to see just how many
more letters will arrive for my
husband as a result of the
newspaper convention, While I
suppose one could assume the
mistake is logical if you are a
normal Canadian, I get a little
weary of the inherited
traditions which teach from
birth that daddy is strong and
mommy is weak; that daddy
earns money and mommy
squanders it; that daddy is at
work and mammy is at home.
I'm not interested in
women's liberation in the sense
that I want to forsake all my
identity as a woman and
become part of a kind of uni-
sex society. That doesn't in-
terest me at all.
I just wish that more people
could be like the wonderful guy
I married. He seems to realize
that his wife is a person with
the same weaknesses and the
same strengths; with the same
needs and the same desires;
with the same capacity to think
and to make errors.
My husband would probably
prefer that I stay at home and
make apple dumplings for sup-
per, but he knows that things
domestic don't hold my interest
long enough to make it a
fulltirneli endeavor.
My husband lets me be me.
He lets me live my own life,
have my own career, make my
own mistakes. My husband has
no hang-ups about my
"liberation" if you want to tag
it that because he knows that
when the work day is over,
we're still man and wife in the
same exciting sense .we ever
were.

The Cancer Campaign this
year will be during the first two
weeks of April. The looal chair-
man for the campaign is Rev,
Alvin Betikema and the co,
chairman is Mrs, L. Bond.
At this stage of the planning,
they are encouraged by the
ready response to help in the
canvass. Young people, older
persons and ministers have
given their support to help,
There are some details to work
out, but they are confident that
the campaign will go ahead as
planned.
If there are those who would
like to help, they are kindly
asked to contact either Rev,
I3eukema if you live in the
country or Mrs. Bond if you
live in town.
Perhaps there are groups of
young and old who would like

would surely be appreciated.

Despite the poor weather, a
good number of the members of
the Clinton Christian Reformed
Church visited the Home on
Sunday evening to provide a
song service in the auditorium,
led by Mr. Van DerEnde.
Volunteers from the
Christian Reformed Church,
along with Mr. and Mrs, Dale
of Clinton, assisted with Mon-
day's activities with music
provided by Marie Flynn, Mary
Taylor and Norman Spier. Two
new residents were welcomed
to the home during the
program, as well as several
guests who dropped in for the
afternoon.
The Goderich Township
Women's Institute were hosts
on Wednesday afternoon for
the February birthday party,
attended by well over 100
residents. The residents all
joined together in welcoming
the ladies on their first visit to

new unit.
Mrs. Bill Cox introduced the
program and was pianist for
the musical numbers, which in-
cluded Mrs. Driver, violin; Mrs.

derwal, accordion; Mrs.

The President, Mrs. Banter,
presented each of the eighteen
celebrants with a lovely box of
a variety of fruit and treats.
Miss Bertha Diehl thanked the
ladies for the birthday gifts and
expressed the appreciation of
all of the residents for the en-
joyable program and party. Af-
ter the refreshments were ser-
ved, the Institute members
assisted the wheelchair

The Rythm Band from
Goderich Psychiatric Hospital,
under the direction of Gordon
Harrison, provided the Family
Night program. The twelve
members in the band played as
a group and entertained with
vocal solos, duets, dance num-
bers and instrumental solos on
mouth organ, piano, violin and
accordion.
Earle Allin thanked the en-
tertainers on behalf of the
residents. Everyone appreciates
having the musical programs
and our four faithful volunteers
back again for Family Night.
A World Day of Prayer ser-
vice was held in the chapel on
Friday morning. Mrs. Sharpies
of the Clinton Anglican Church
was leader of the service,
assisted by Miss Bertha Diehl
and Mrs. Davis of Huronview,
