Mrs. Glenna Tripp, teacher at Precious Blood ,School and time keeper Jim Wallace. who has raced and timed horses for the past twenty years. attended our club meeting and breakfast Sunday morning. Four area youths presented their speeches on the topic Commitment to Share-. which was supplied by Optimist International. The winner of the boys class was none other than Scott Merrylees. Scott is to be congratulated for being the only, area boy with the in- terest in truing for a scholarship and the chance to represent our club in the upcoming zone finals to be held at the Clinton Optimist club in April In the girls division; Julie Russel bested the tough op- position. supplied by runner upHeather Merrylees and Paulette Rothbauer. The judges had a tough time in deciding on the out corse. Nervous jitters were ap- parent as each took their place at the head table. More coaching and practice was suggested by Mrs. Tripp in her summation. Smiley Continued from page 4 gas into our energy programme. And if the new acquisition is as well-run as the Post Office, Lord help us all. And. as I have always said, if anybody wants to separate. let them go to it. I, for one, would not fight to hold Canada together. to force an erring son or daughter to stay home against his her will. If Newfounland wants to go, let her lit?) go. With all that oil. and all that fish. along with some spuds from P.E.I.. the natives could live like kings on fish 'n chips forever. The country would be bigger than Iceland. and a lot better off financially. But if she goes. let the government stop reaching into my wallet for welfare and baby bonuses and coastguard protec- tion. and new air -strips for Newfie. I've run out of space, and haven't even begun. If you are as sore as I am about the way this country is falling apart, under an onslaught of sheer. unadulterated crap. sound off. Let's hear you. Shout it from the housetops. If you are as sore as I am. welcome, Sorehead. Let's be Soreheads together. The members and parents have volunteered to assist these fine young speakers. With our help Scott and Julie are going to go a. long way. Hopefully. to Florida in June to represent our club at the Optimist International Convention. Our club wishes these kids the best of luck. In the past we have endeavored to run many functions for the kids in and out of the township. In the future we plan many more. An Easter egg hunt is the tirst then there will be minor ball including T -ball, pic- nics. fishing derbies and more road rallies. For the adults there will be dart and ball tournaments, bus trips, socials and whatever we can dream up. You will see some of our fund raising efforts when you visit the Zehr's and Saveways stores in Ex- eter. Goderich is presenting Young Canada Hockey again this year. A couple of years ago we sent a pee -wee team made up of five pee-wees and eight atoms. The result was in three games our kids scored none and allo*ed 51 goals. They played their best and were rewardedwith the Most Sportsman like award and the London Sportscasters Award. This year they arrived with a more solid team and Saturday morning they scored their first goal and only one in a defeat at the We're doingitnow: We're stopping the leakwiththe UlReporton Hirings. This program stops abuse. Not everyone who continues to receive unemployment insurance after starting a new job is cheating. They may still be enti- tled to some benefits. Or sometimes they've made an honest mistake. Unfortunately, a great deal of money has been wrongly paid out in the past to people who don't report a new job. Now our Report on Hirings program is putting an effective halt to this, thanks to employers who participate. Soon, people getting U 1 will know they must tell us that they've found work and reportall their earnings. Big and small companies are helping us succeed. -Together, the Canada Employment and Immigration Commission and employers are detecting potential overpayments. With Report on Ilirings, employers give us the starting date and Social Insurance Number for each new employee or send extracts from computer payroll tapes. We cross-check this information with the Social Insurance Numbers of people getting UI. When the system detects people wrongly collecting benefits, we investigate and a penalty or prosecution may follow. But our job is not to penalize or prosecute the people. It's to pay benefits to people who should get them - no more and no less. Employment and Emploi el Immigration Canada Immigration Canada Lloyd Airworthy.

Help these future N.HLers show the people of Ontario that they can do it. Davis did it why not Stephen township. Are your little ones in- terested in an Easter egg hunt? You can find out if you bring them to the Optimist Hall April 19. President Jim is organizing one so that the Optimist Easter Bunny will not be subjected to the strenuous job of delivering to the homes as did our San- ta Claus. The next meeting of the club will be held April 5 at 10 a.m. It is to be a regular meeting and also an induc- tion meeting for new members. All you fellows out there had better plan to attend and greet your new Optimists. At the same time we would like you to have your vests. with your names sewn on. so that we can have some semblance of unifor- mity. Dinner badges and name tags are nowavailable for those of you who could not attend the past meeting. Everyone is invited to drop in at the Don Johnson home (at a date yet to be decided) for a pork roast. Charlette won the midget draw for a pig on Saturday night at the dance. The prize was donated by and through the generosity of Tony 41016O9:w;7::•: ::ttttitittttttttttttttittttt499999 994 999ttttttttttttt1tttttttttttttpttttttttt ::: ••••• ••••• ..•.. ••..• •...• •.s.. •...• ••... ••••• •...• ....• ••..• •:::: •••.•• ;mss .•.•• lil N.•. /A/ .•••. •••.. •••.• ••••. •••.• %. .f ••... u •ee.• s••• Jones.

Sound like pretty good neighbors? They are! They're your local businesspeople, and they do all this and more. Local firms don't just take your money. They give back part of their profits in the form of local taxes, charitable donations and employee salaries. It's all part of doing business... and being a good neighbor. Part of their profits are also reinvested in the community. As they remodel their stores, add on to their buildings and open n,ew locations, they help build a better economic environ- ment. When local businesses prosper, you and your community prosper. Get to know the nicest people in town. Shop locally. No need to roam... the best shopping's here at home!
