It gets bigger if you don'( fix it. The Canadian public is crying for an answer." A total of 190 organizations have submitted the resolution to date. Deadline is Feb.14. . "If 1 have a credo, it's that if you have the capacity you have the responsibility. This is about sustainability, sovereignty and voice." Letter to the editor THE EDITOR, Next week every household in North Huron and South Bruce will receive a letter regarding the Wings of a Dove campaign to raise funds for the Wingham and Area Palliative Care Services organization. As chairperson for this campaign I am hopeful that you will read the letter and consider the following: I) There are 30 trained volunteers who are quietly visiting with QUESTIONS In the brief question period following Holm's extensive presentation, the Canadian Cattlemen's response to the crisis was challenged. "Is CCA still sleeping with the Liberals," ,the attendee asked. Holm replied that "Ottawa bureaucrats are very skilled in manipulating, so I don't want to be too hard on CCA." She added that Charlie Gracey of seriously ill or dying people while 'their families get some sleep or have time to shop for gro- ceries. 2) There may come a time when you or someone in your family may need this service. 3) It is vital that we have community support for our program. Every donation, whether large or small, will be carefully used. If 10 per cent of the 8,000 households the Canadian Livestock Identification Agency had been told that if there is no change after the U.S. election, the CCA will then "push Ottawa to take on Chapter 20." When Holm said that should the U.S. not open the border after the ruling, Canada would pick the most politically strategic measure they could in response." "What if it's not enough?" one man countered. who receive our letter would send us the cost of six cups of coffee and/or six muffins we could achieve our goal for this campaign. Donations of $10 or more will receive a receipt for income tax purposes. If you wish more information you can call 357-2720 or 887-9621. Please consider becoming one of our supporters. Bev Brown Campaign Chair. "What if we do nothing?" replied Holm. Pam Stanley of Huron Business Development Corporation offered a somewhat tongue-in-cheek suggestion. "How about this? Ten cows for one flu vaccine." Another woman asked how to get support outside the agricultural community. Holm mentioned bringing the media in on the issue of the water resolution to say' "look what farmers are doing to save your community." Stanley said that at HBDC things are being done for agriculture. "Be assured in our view farming is an industry in this county. It's the only industry in this county and we're behind you 100 per cent." Gracey applauded Holm saying: that no one has done for farmers what she has done on this issue. "She's been a burr under people's saddles, and I couldn't let her leave without telling you." Asked why farmers couldn't gain the respect of the government, Holm answered that "America was born of revolution. Canada was born from a different process of peace, order and good government. To challenge governments we have to turn around our whole mind set."
