'Dear' editor:
On ;behalf of my wife
Kathy' and myself, I µwould
' like to ,extend my very
best wishes :ta: all of the
residents of Huron -Bruce,
and indeed : to all
Canadians, an this the
13l st birthday of Canada.
On July 1.," we as
Canadians have an oppor-
tunity to celebrate the ben
efits of living in a country
like Canada: a nation" that
has been built firmly upon
the values of peace, open
Mindedness` and tolerance.
Our society,.places such a
strong emphasis on equali-
ty and. co-operation that
we have gained consider-
able global
onsiderable;;global praise and
envy. This year, as in the'
past' three, we have once.
again earned the United •
Nations designation. of
being the best place in.the
world in Which^to live,
'have' said it' before and
I will say it again: `there is
no place that exemplifies
the aforementioned quali-
ties like right here in
Huron -Bruce. Our strong
agricultural background is,
a characteristic upon
which ,the country vitas
founded. Our peaceful and
:quiet surroundings are
coveted ' by others and
serve as: a source pride
for 'all within. our bound-
aries.
Over the past year, we.
have continued -to make ,
tremendously productive •
contributions to the global
turn to. page 6.
