(Federal) at Belmore Monday night. O'Connell, a former MP and cabinet minister from Scarborough who is running for the presidency of the national Liberal Party, was one of two guest speakers at the meeting, In a stirring speech he told the Liberals they now have the chance to "bring a message about the renewal of our country", an op- portunity granted by the people of Quebec, and they can't afford to fail. "It's time for a change," he declared, noting that when those changes have been attempted during the past 50 years they have always failed, "We can't risk failure at this juncture. It would hand the game back to Rene Levesque." He noted Western Canada wants to get into the in- dustrial age instead of being locked into the resources sector as in the past, and ways must be found to allow for this. He also called for reorganization and revitalization of the Liberal Party, including policy debates all across the country on the issues of the '80s. The party will never have a better chance, he said. It has a prime minister whose personal prestige has never been higher. "He was the difference between 50-50 and 60-40 in Quebec." And it has the prospect of choosing a new leader in two to three years. "It's time to exert our- selves to resolve the question of our future as a people living together." In a later interview O'Connell predicted Pierre .Trudeau will receive a 90 percent vote of confidence from delegates to the party convention at Winnipeg this summer. He also forecast that the prime minister will call a leadership convention for the fall of 1982 in order to give a new leader Some leeway before the next general election. Another guest speaker at the meeting, Garnet Bloomfield, MI' for London- Middlesex, told the Dinney Furniture announced to- day that for the next four weeks all merchandise In the store can be purchased interest free. Jon Disney indicated this will make purchasing more con- venient for shoppers and will result in a substantial saving, He expects sales to increase dramatically as customers take advantage of the offer, Jon expects two types of customers will benefit; The shopper that doesn't have the avalfable cash but stilt wants to gathering the coming decade will be one of enormous change. Food will be as important an issue in the '80s as energy was in the '70s, be said, with a great possibility of a world food shortage before the end of the decade. He said lie thinks Can will come to appreciate for the first time just how much they owe to their agricultural base. However he noted there are some clouds on the horizon for agriculture, particularly in its depen- dence on fertilizer and petroleum. He predicted energy costs will double by 1984, effectively wiping out the equivalent of all net incomes on farms at present. The federal government must play a leading role in The organization of Youth For Christ in the area began 30 years ago in Clinton. In those days, monthly rallies were held in various locations extending through the three counties of Huron, Bruce and Grey. In recent years, Y.F.C. has concentrated Its efforts in Huron county. The earliest family oriented meetings have been replaced with youth oriented activities. Bible quiz teams compete each year for a trophy donated by Dr. Bern Corrin of London, formerly of Wingham. Christian fellowship groups are encouraged to meet in high schools. Weekend retreats are held for Bible training in Christian living. Other an- nual activities include a skating party, fun night, youth banquet and a chicken .barbeque, • exploring alternatives to petroleum energy. Mr. Bloomfield said, and he looks' for the implementation of an alternative energy cor- poration as a subsidiary of PetroCan. He also hailed the proposal to create an agricultural export corporation, an 'AgroCan', and said he hopes to see a majority of farm businessmen on the board of directors, Through co-operation we can weather the 'storm and find brighter days ahead, he concluded. In other business at the meeting the Huron-Bruce Liberals installed their riding executive, including a new president, and nominated delegates to the party convention at Win- nipeg July 4-6. May 3 marked the end of a year of meetings in which former Y.F.C.'ers were invited to participate. Rev. Joe Baker, who is a former director of Y.F.C. spoke in October. Saturday's meeting heard Rev. Don Talbot of Waterford, former Y.F,C.er and formerly of Bayfield. A special Bible quiz matched the vigour of the regular Bible quizzers to this year's quiz winners, a team from Exeter. Three teams competed in the regular session, Exeter, Goderich and Zurich. The evening ended in refreshments with a special 30 year anniversary cake. 4 Youth For Christ programming continues during the summer, The next event is a youth day, July 5, called Cabin Fever, ending in the evening with the an- nual Chicken Barbeque at Gascho's park near Zurich, Bruce McDonald of Wingham is the new president of the association, taking over from Herb Kuntz of Formosa. He called for the Liberals to provide "stability and leadership" so that in four years time the people will re-elect a Liberal majority government, hopefully with a broader base of representation across the country. It isn't healthy to have a majority government with just two Liberals west of Ontario, he said.
