The "Mini" Band, con- sisting of eight men, all regular duty officers from various detachments will pipe in the head table and conduct a concert during the reception prior to the dinner. The total band com- plement of 23 men is under the command of Pipe Major Ron Christianson of Lindsay Detachment. The band was formed in 1974 and its first parade was held in Can- nington in June 1975. Since then the band averages 60 public appearances a year administered by the Field Support Branch as a public service with the approval of Commissioner H.I1. Graham. The bandsmen will wear the Ontario tartan which was inspired by the Provincial Coat of Arms, the Armorial Ensign recognized as the symbol of Ontario for almost a century. The yellow is for the three maple leaves which appear on the green background of the Coat of Arms. The red is for the Cross of St. George. The black for the bear which appears at the top of the shield. The brown is the colour combination created by the moose on the left and the deer on the right of the shield. These five colours go to make up the tartan. The drummers wear scarlet and gold traditional doublets with Ontario tartan kilts and belted plaids. Accompanying Pipe Major Christianson at the dinner will be Pipers Brian Lee and Dave Boyle from Bracebridge, Daryl Drake from Barrie, Don Dawson from Kincardine, base drummer, Joe Ogden from Guelph, and side drummers Bob Thompson from Peterborough and Martin de Silgay from Barrie. M1 bandsmen perform normal detachment duties at their respective locations in the Province when not detailed for parades or other functions.

Two of the speakers will be Toronto Blue Jays slugger John Mayberry and Don Cherry, former Boston Bruin coach • Oppose CN closing Businesses and residents of north Middlesex County were urged Monday to write to Canadian National Railways to oppose the proposed closing of an 83 - kilometre section of track from Lucan to Sarnia. Reeve Kenneth Vernon of West Williams Township, speaking at a meeting of council representatives from seven north Middlesex municipalities, said Lambton Middlesex MP Ralph Ferguson and Huron - Middlesex MPP Jack Riddell should also be con- tacted. Closing the line would mean a substantial loss to agriculture, lumber yards and industry, Vernon said. He forecast more use of rail service. suggesting costs will be increasing more for other methods of transporta- tion. Parkhill Mayor Ron Shirran said a major, business of the town, Waters Elevators Ltd., would be required to truck produce 289 kilometres to Kerwood The mayor presented a letter from Donald Waters, president of the firm, saying the line closing would "adversely affect our elevator operationand the From Lucan Revival Centre Bill Lilley read Isaiah 55 at the start of the morning service. at the Lucan Revival Centre. Harold Fletcher, playing his guitar, sang "God's Love is Abundant". Marlene Thornton read Acts 2:4 in Spanish to the Junior Church. Rick Thornton explained that when people receive the Holy Spirit baptism they can talk to God in a different language. Wm. Davies used a sketched record of God's prophecies concerning Israel, which he called God's time clock. From Revelation 1 he said verse 3 tells that those who read this book of prophecy are blessed. M Jesus is the first begotten from the dead, we who believe in Him will be the second. Verse 5 tells that the blood of Jesus washes away the sins of all who believe it. Verse 9 tells of the writer John exiled on -Patmos, being in the Spirit. John did not despair being im- prisoned, but was God's prophet to write these 'prophecies for us to read. Rev. Dave Brunner, pastor of Nairn Mennonite church, conducted the senior choir from their church Sunday evening. Their songswere all on the theme of Praise. In order, they sang songs of praise to God, to Jesus, to the Holy Spirit. The congregation joined in a Parise Sing -A -Long and the choir sang songs of Praise for the Word. Between the different Praise songs Howard Otterbein read of God's blessings to us from His great gifts of His son Jesus, the Holy Spirit and His word. In closing Rev. Brunner and Janet Bender sang "The Lord's Prayer" with the backing of the choir. Their singing was very lovely, spiritual, and musically beautiful. Upcoming events: Saturday, January 31 Sunday School and Children's Church kids are invited to a Winter Carnival to be held at Lucan Revival Center from 1 to 3 p.m., for ages 13 and under. Tapes of the services are available for only $3 each. See John Armitage to order any tapes. welfare of the agriculture community of north Middlesex and Lambtdn counties. The CN should not be allowed to close track that wouldseriously affect the export of agricultural commodities to world markets. Waters said the elevator is preparing to ship 55 rail cars of edible beans from Parkhill and over the next two months will require more cars for shipping corn and malting barley to Mon- treal. An expenditure of morethan $300,000 by Waters Elevators in locating ad- ditional facilities on the track siding over the past two years would have been made elsewhere if plans to end the service'had been known, he said. Representatives of East Williams, McGillivray and West Williams townships said their councils will con- sider opposition next Mon- day and $iddulph Township and Lucan next Tuesday. Reeve John Whitmore of Ailsa Craig, meeting chair- man and a CN maintenance foreman, said a railway sub- mission reported the use of the line dropped to 139 cars in 1979 frons 321 cars in 1975.

Facilities manager Alvin Willert said the $160,000 worth of equipment is one of only two freon systems in Ontario. The balance of arenas use chlorine and he said the latter was more efficient, although the freon is not as dangerous to use. Ile said the equipment has had problems since the day it was installed and much of the huge bill was run up during this past December when there were almost daily problems. "Do you feel it's cured now," Jack O'Neill asked in reference to the many repair calls made. "Three fuses burned out just yesterday," Willert replied. A representative of the repair firm was scheduled to attend Tuesday's board meeting, but cancelled out due to illness. It is hoped to have him there for the February 17 meeting. At the meeting, Tuesday, the board approved pur- chase of a $400 cash register for the snack bar at the rec centre and agreed that more attention should be paid to the operation of the booth to make it more efficient and profitable. "it has to provide a service and fast service", com- mented Gary Birmingham, who went on to say that the layout of the booth and some of the products should be studied for greater profitability. Huron pet club meets The regular monthly meeting of the Huron County Poultry, Pigeon, and Pet Stock Association was held on Tuesday evening Jan. 21 in the board room of the O.M.A.F. offices at Clinton with 11 members present. President Orville Shewfelt opened the meeting and secretary Daniel called the roll followed by the reading of the November minutes. Lloyd O'Brien moved the minutes be adopted as read, the motion was seconded by Cliff Pepper and carried. On old business, our sponsoring a 4H poultry club was discussed, Orville had forms and information sheets from the O.M.A.F. and mentioned that there could be a 4H club start in Bruce as well as Huron County. As a 4H poultry club was something new in the area, a sort of guide line had to be set up as to what birds the children could have and how many. A motion was put forward by Barry Cleave that the members of the 4H poultry club could have purebred bred -to -lay, exhibition birds or pigeons owl i ng Emery 172, Jeff (Gwalchmai 174, Janice Atkinson 171, Michael Dillabough 170.

Barry Cleave was chosen as Club Leader for Huron County while a Leader for a Bruce County Club is still to be named. Discussion then centred on a possible prize list for our combined fall show and Ripley fair. Daniel had made up a possible list for ap- proval by Association members and left it open to suggested changes. There were some changes suggested and these will be acted upon. Harvey Daniel reported on our Gestetner copier, its cost and the cost of repairs to get it in top running order. Daniel gave a treasurers report for 1980 and while the profit margin was small we still had a decent bank balance. Bills totalling $48.02 were presented by the secretary and motion was made by Errol Scholtzhauer that bills be paid, seconded By JACK RIDDELL, MPP Jack's Jottings The family-owned farm is still alive and well in On- tario. but farmers are worried by high production and land costs and low product prices, says a report commissioned for the provincial government. "It appears that the fami- ly farm in Ontario will con- tinue to be the dominant form of operation. Vertical integration and corporate farming except by family corporations, do not appear to be threats to its ex- istence". says the report released yesterday at Queen's. Park. Vertical integration . in- volves ownership of the com- plete chain of production of any product. In farming, it involves farms owned by food processors and retailers. The report, written by retired deputy agriculture Minister Gordon Bennett, is based on a survey of the operators of 1,000 family owned farms in Ontario last year. Farmers ,were asked to identify their major con- cerns and the top three, in order. were high production costs. high land costs and a low return for their produce. High production costs are blamed largely on skyrocketing energy prices, while the rising price of land is attributed to high interest rates and competition among prospective buyers. There has been some pubicity recently about the fact that the Ontario Teacher's Federation or some of its spokesmen - are recommending that teachers in Ontario should work against the Liberal Party in the next provincial election because of its position on teachers' strikes. It certain- ly seems surprising that professional educators who are currently pressing for self-governing professional status would place the future of education in this province in jeopardy because of this one issue. Having been a teacher, I was well aware of the frustrations inherent in the system and I was pleased to have been put in - ,osition where i could ' .p to bring about ime.. .vents. i 1h' ,s only fair to say that tt,,, Ontario Liberal Par- ty is committed to finding a workable and just alter- native to strikes. The ex- , perience of the past seven years have in no way im- proved teacher -board relations. The needs of students, for whom the en- tire education establishment exists, have not been served by strikes which have averaged forty school days in length. The OISE study of the Toronto strike and public statements by students dur- ing the Sudbury and Bruce strikes show clearly that students do suffer and that they feel they are pawns in a game between teachers and boards of education. The Ontario Liberal Party has played a significant role in the field of education. When chaotic conditions were created by the government's implementa- tion of the optional credit system, it was the constant pressure in 1975/1976 from the Liberal Party and the release of its education policy statement which forc- ed then Minister Tom Wells to re -introduce English and Math as well as Canadian History and Geography as compulsory subjects. The Liberal Party was concerned about the 40% drop-out rate in secondary schools because of the perceived irrelevance of courses which was so well documented in a recent OSSTF study. It was also concerned about the educa- tion career mismatch between the 157,000 un- employed in Ontario, aged between 16 and 24 and the 40,000 skilled workers need- ed in Ontario today. Ontario Liberal Party was on record (before the SERP study was even announced) as being prepared to reorganize the secondary schools. It called for the provision of more career oriented programs and a significant update of the guidance and counselling services beginning in Grades 7 and 8. It stressed the im- portance of improved liaison between secondary schools, community colleges and employers. The Ontario Liberal Party played a significant role in the recent special education bill - Bill 82. This legislation was seriously deficient as proposed. NDP amendments, which were strongly opposed by the OTF would have made it an ad- ministrative nightmare. Due to Liberal amendments, it finally emerged from Third Reading as a significant and workable piece of legisla- tion. This has been attested to by senior officials by OTF, the President of the Federa- tion of Women Teachers, and the Executive Director of ACLD . During the years of con- tinuing frustration for teachers when they made every effort to meet the academic expectations of parents. students and the public with little or no curriculum guidelines, it was the Ontario Liberal Par- ty that committed itself to greater direction and sup- port for teachers on curriculum and evaluation. The Ontario Liberal Party is recommending that this fact be recognized and that mandatory third party in- tervention with strictly adhered to time -lines be built into the negotiating process at the outset. Since both teachers and boards would prefer not to use a third party. there would be a strong incentive to settle. Surely a time -line exten- ding from January to August is sufficient for even the most difficult negotiations, and it would lead to settle- ment for the September school opening. in order to make such negotiations responsible, there would have to be a commitment to make grant financial figures available to school boards in January each year. The Ontario Liberal Par- ty. are committed to finding a workable and just alter- native to strikes. It believes that a court of arbitration for educational disputes, with semi-permanent, well- trained. impartial arbiters represents a very suitable alternative to the strike lock -out route. The Ontario Liberal Party is prepared to work closely with teachers, school boards. parents and students to arrive at the most satisfactory alternative. by Newt Cuyler and carried. Gordon Steinacker won the attendance draw. Daniel read a letter that he had sent to Agriculture Minister Lorne Henderson on behalf of the association opposing the discontinuation of the poultry, pigeon, rabbit and calve show at the 1981 Canadian National Exhibition. It asked Mr. Henderson's support for the continuance of this very important show. Orville Shewfelt then declared all offices vacant the election was as follows: president, Barry Cleave; vice-president, Orville Shewfelt; three directors were, James Martin, Clif- ford Pepper, Cloyne Thuel; secretary -treasurer, Harvey Daniel; assistant secretary, Hank Wim- menhove; press reporter, Barry Cleave; auditors, George Tieman and Newt Cuyler. Cloyne Thuel moved ad- journment. Coffee, cookies and a social time wound up a very good meeting.
