New Democrats from across Huron
County met at the Clinton Public School on
January 10 to elect an executive for 1988.
The new executive is President, Heather
Klopp, Ztir Vice President, Stephen
Park, God-ericIN Secretary, Jackie Postill,
Exeter; Treasurer, Fran McQuail,
Lucknow; Membership Secretary, Tony
McQuail, Lucknow; Members at Large,
Agnes & Larry Proulx, Ethel; Chris
Grande, Goderich; Ben Barnes, Brussels.
A lively discussion on Free Trade follow-
ed the election of officers. In his report
from the Provincial Council Tony McQuail
pointed out "family farmers and Canadian
workers will be played against illegal Mex-
ican workers in the United States. These
exploited workers are paid terrible wages
with lousy working conditions. Ten years
ago the banks told us we had to pay the
high interest rates they were charging
third world countries. With Free Trade
farmers and workers will be told we have
to accept Mexican wages if we want to
keep working."
McQuail went on to say that "it is a lousy
agreement that doesn't secure access to
the US market. It gives away the energy
security we supposedly bought and cer-
tainly paid for with high energy prices. It
threatens our economic independence, our
cultural identity and the future that we as
working people and family farmers want
to build for ourselves and our children."
A petition calling for an election on Free
Trade was circulated and copies
distributed to members at the meeting.
The new executive approved plans to meet
in various parts of Huron County during
the coming year.

were on hand to sign the registry and wish Mrs. Henderson continued good health and
happiness.

She married Eldon Henderson on April 23, 1924 and the couple farmed just west of the
Village of Lucknow until 1958 when they moved into town.
Mrs: Henderson, who still lives in her own home on Outram Street, lost her husband
in 1968. The celebration of her 90th birthday sees her active and full of life.
Here's wishing Mayme many more years of happiness from all her family and
