Area music students complete conservatory exams Music students of Gail Lear, A.Mus.R.M.T. of Londesboro completed music exams in either the winter or summer session with the Western Ontario Conservatory of Music, London. Andrea Grant of Wingham completed her Associate of Music (Teachers) with 1st class honours, Nothing is sacred with Yuk Yuk’s Continued from page 3 evening. There was lots of audience par­ ticipation. The comics would pick on certain members of the crowd and certain members of the crowd would in tum heckle the comics. Yuk Yuk's material is hilarious for a younger or open-minded crowd; however, for the faint of heart or for people who can't sit through an Eddie Murphy movie, the often profane language can be offensive. The comedians tend to deal with very personal subjects, such as bodily functions or intimate moments with a sexual partner. Nothing is sacred. But the Blyth audience dealt with everything with good humour and enjoyed its Also her written Pedagogy paper received an honours mark. Andrea is only 18 and received a scholarship into Wilfred Laurier University music program for the fall. Valerie VanReisen, Clinton, received first class honours in her first part of grade 9 Piano and first evening thoroughly. Some of the more humourous moments concerned putting down our neighbours to the south. Everything from how they refuse to understand the metric system to how they insist on spelling every­ thing differently was subject to ridicule. The audience seemed to really appreciate these jokes. Politicians, homosexuals, the French, and sexual relations were the butt end of most of the jokes, not to mention small rural commu­ nities. Overall, the Blyth and District Community Play committee mem­ bers brought a great show to the village. Here's hoping their pro­ duction goes just as smoothly. class honours in grade 2 Rudiments.

The kiosks will be circulated throughout municipal offices in the county to ensure that information is available to all interested entrepreneurs. The information kiosks are a joint project of the South Huron, Central Huron, North Huron and West Huron Community Development Committees in co­ operation with the Ontario Ministry of Industry, Trade and Technology. Reader speaks out for Free Trade Continued from page 7 Mexican farmers have only enough land to produce 20 per cent of their food needs. They must import the other 80 per cent and that need too will grow by the need of 2 million new people a year. There will, of course, be disruptions here. The editorial mentions the clothing industry, and farm organizations mention Mexican vegetables, but as long as I can remember, and that is a long time, the textile industry has whined even more than the agriculture industry. But it still exists and some sectors are quite prosperous, thank you. And if North American content is prescribed, go for it and produce the needed stuff. Another disturbing aspect of this trend to self protection is the seeming1 indifference to the plight of the poor in other countries. Those people are REAL poor, unlike what we call our poor. Ours are only poor in comparison to other people in Canada. They are poor in comparison to our poorest, very poor. We cry when we see the starving in Somalia and Bangladesh and in the slums of Bangkok of Mother Theresa. We dig into our pocket and we contribute to the Hunger Foundation, to Foster Parents Plan and other international help organizations. But when we really can help them by buying their products that compete with ours we howl that they provide unfair competition with their low wages and lax environmental laws. A catch 22. The Human Development Report of the United Nations found that Canada is the best place to live compared with 160 other countries, despite our 10.6 per cent unemployment. They also calculate that we can easily put the poor countries on their feet if the rest of the world decreases defense (what a euphemism) spending by three percent and use that money to prop up the economies of the third world. That means also that we must buy their product. But that may initially cost jobs for our people. Is it morally right to keep Mexicans and other third world countries in poverty so we can live it up? Think about it. There is only one way. Open the world to free trade. The GATT has shown us the way. The western world has never been as prosperous as now, since the first GATT was signed in the late 1940s. Let's not stop now. Any operation causes some pain and discomfort and the NAFTA will be no different. But good health is bound to follow. Adrian Vos SELINGER WOOD LTD.
