Letter to the Editor
I' wish to express my
heartfelt sympathy to the old
faithfuls on the executive of
Exeter Minor Hockey
Association.
Being involved with
another volunteer com-
munity youth. group, Girl
Guides and Brownies, I too
know the utter dispair and
futility of trying to get parent
participation in their
children's interests, A few
reliable (I'm trying not to
use the words "old reliable")
persons are always relied on
to come through in order not
to disappoint some very
enthusiastic children.
We seem to have a
generation of parents at this
time who feel the "Old
reliables" will be there to
carry on the activities while
they are too busy earning a
living, going away for
holidays, working around the'
house, mowing the lawn,
visiting relatives, going to
parties, weddings, en-
tertainments, watching T,V.
Leaders in the community
activities also have these
commitments, I've known
some volunteers to actually
postpone these things and
even neglect their own
family in order to see a
group of expectant
youngsters aren't disap-
pointed by not having that
camp out trip, or hike
because of lack of super-
vision.
Parents point an accusing
finger that they never were
asked to help. Every
volunteer of a community
service knows the utter
futility of spending precious
time on the phone listening to
the many excuses. Believe
me, they've heard them all
through the years.
I wish to issue a challenge
to each and every parent in.
the Exeter area, Volunteer
(don't wait to be asked) your
services to at least one
organization your child is
involved in next year.
We all can't be capable of
expertise in very field but
surely there is one place
your skill and knowledge will
help out one of these groups.
It's a complex world our
youngsters are growing up in
and one parent or set of
parents can't be expected to
supply the guidance in all
fields in order to develop
their boy's or girls' mind and
body to cope with the future.
That's why contact with
other adults, who can supply
this experience for your
youngster, is so important.
Let's all chip in and make
their load lighter. Don't wait
until there is time, make
time! You'll be surprised at
your own capabilities once
you at least try,
The leaders and "old
reliables" involved in Exeter
Brownies and Guides are
ready to call it quits too.
There will be no new
registrations accepted into
the already over crowded
units this fall unless an
active, supportive, parents
committee is formed to help.

Dear editor:
Senior Citizens Week
always proves to be a special
time for seniors, and this
year was no exception.
On Tuesday the grade 6
pupils and teachers of
Exeter Public School
displayed their work of art,
history, poetry, crafts etc.
for our viewing pleasure,
also pictures they took while
on a trip to Midland.
They were a very cour-
teous group willing to show
and explain everything on
detail. They also served
cookies, tea and coffee. After
seeing the equipment at the
school for modern education,
we have an inkling of how
some of our tax dollars are
s nt.
Friday we visit liuronview
at Clinton for a program and
supper.- Also a visit with the
inmates, then next week the
Lions Club take us on a tour.
All these events mean so
much to us, the Exeter
Senior Citizens.
Mrs, Leslie Thomson,
secretary.

To the editor:
We are trying to organize a
group discussion weekend
workshop local folk school
on "the Future of the Family
Farm". The purpose of this
gathering would be to
examine several questions.
What is a family farm? Is the
family farm important for
our future? Should we
preserve and promote the
family farm? How?
If you would like to par-
ticipate in a discussion
gathering on these questions
please contact: Adrian Vos,
Blyth, 523-4294; John Van-
beers, RR 1 Blyth, 523-4431;
and Tony McQuail, RR 1,
Lucknow, 528-6542.
We. are hoping to organize
such a gathering somewhere
in Huron County and at a
time convenient to members
of the farm community. We
believe this is an important
area of concern and hope
that if you share this concern
you will let us know of your
interest.
Yours sincerely,
Adrain Vos, John VanBeers,
and Tony Mc Quail

Provincial Parliament and
The News Media
During the past seven
years, prices of all metals
have escalated more than in
any previcins fifty years, yet
there has been no boom in
the mining industry of
Ontario, Many are won-
dering why.
One obvious reason is that
the Toronto news media,
with the exception of the
weekly Northern Miner (the
flagship of the Canadian
mining industry), have
failed absolutely to enlighten
the public about • the
emasculating regulations of
the Ontario Securities.
Commission, which have
been totally abortive and
disastrous and initiated
mostly by one man over the
years and a few political
appointees who know little
about the mining industry
and care less if it survives.
These regulations and the
punitige spirit behind the
regulations have put the
mining promoter, the junior
mining company and the
individual prospector in a
precarious position. Prior to
1960 this group found 99
percent of all the gold mines
(there were 145 primary gold
producers in Canada in the
wartime year of 1941), all the
silver mines and 80 percent
of the base metal mines,
There are 125 provincial
Members of Parliament at
Queen's Park, made up of
N.D.P. socialists who would
have the government take
over the mining industry, the
Liberals who hope to defeat
the government, and the
Progressive Conservatives
who have been in power for
37 years.
Smooth and articulate and
sure of themselves, the
Tories are careful not to
offend the members of the
Toronto Stock-Exchange and
the Investment Dealers of
Canada, who have en-
couraged the Ontario
Securities Commission to
continue its punitive course
against the junior mining
company, the mining
promoter and the prospector
over the years while en-
couraging the gigantic
manipulation of the entire
stock market by the in-
vestment funds and financial
institutions.
Dear Mr. Premier:
Very few mines have been
found in Ontario during the
past seventeen years. Two of
the largest were found by
foreign corporations: Amoco
Corporation = the Detour
Lake gold deposit, and Texas
Gulf Sulphur - the Kidd
Creek zinc-copper-silver
deposit.
involved, but parents aren't
It is an established fact
that their buying and selling,
mainly to each other, con-
stitutes a large proportion of
the stock market volume,
Yours very truly,
J.C. Bomberger, P. Eng.

Dear Bill:
Once again I note that the
Times-Advocate ,has
received an award at the
recent weekly newspaper
competition.
Such awards are in-
dicative of good
management, knowledge of

judgement, and hard work.
May I take this op-
portunity to congratulate
you and your staff on this
achievement and wish you
every success in the future.
Sincerely,
Jack Riddell, M.P.P
