RURAL RIDINGS
GETTING RARER
Canada's rural areas will have pro-
portionately fewer voices speaking for
them when the next parliament meets in
the House of Commons.
Riding boundarics have been redis-
tributed to reflect the increasing urbani-
zation of Canada, thus increasing the
next parliament to 295 seats from 282.
The number of rurally influenced
seats will remain at 130, says New
Democrat MP Vic Althouse, but they
will represent a smaller portion of the
House.
In the last sitting of parliament, using
Althouse's 130 -seat estimate, more than
46 per cent of MPs represented some
rural constituents. In the 34th parlia-
ment, that figure will decline to 44 per
cent — and the trend will continue.0
HURON CHOOSES
DAIRY PRINCESS
The new Huron County dairy prin-
cess is Lisa Boonstoppel (left), of R. R.
1, Auburn. Others vying for the title
were Laura Hallahan, R. R. 3, Blyth, and
Marlene Albers, R.R. 2, Bluevale (who
was chosen Miss Congeniality).
Each contestant made a presentation
relating to the dairy industry; judging
was based on personality, presentation,
extra -curricular activities, and knowl-
edge of the dairy industry.
Brenda Bridge (right), a former
dairy princess, is the new dairy princess
co-ordinator for Huron. Anyone wish-
ing to have the new dairy princess in
attendance to promote milk and milk
products in Huron County should call
her at 395-5911, she says.0
