Determination could be just another name for stubborness or for dependence. I think it could also be another name for commitment, even for love. It surely is acknowledg- ment that "for better or worse" in- cludes worse, something the old mar- riage has learned it must abide. Without that worse, the marriage, like the phrase, is incomplete. .I suspect it is also considerably less interesting. Joy.* Wry By MPP Jack Riddell It has been an extremely produc- tive session for members of the Government. Since taking office, literally hundreds of initiatives have been launched to change the way we at'tygoverned — to provide more open and accountable government and to improve the quality of life for all Ontarians. In the most -recent session, a total - of 56 government bills were debated ,and passed into law to assist the peo- ..ple of Ontario in the pursuit of a more acme, way, of life: , In the Throne Speech last spring w ier David Peterson pledged to addess three specific concerns which .represent important challenges On- ',tario must face for years to come. ' One is the need to insure that the people of Ontario succeed in an in- creasingly competitive international market. We must compete with the best in the world to ensure growth in jobs and security. To that end, action was taken on a number of fronts including the crea- tion of a billion dollar technology fund, administered by the Premier's Council. This council, composed of representatives from business, labour and universities, will steer Ontario in- to the forefront of technology and innovation. A second area of concern outlined in the Throne Speech is the need to adapt our education system — and our training programs -- to ensure our young people can take advantage of the jobs of the future. In this vital area, the Liberal Government has significantly in- creased spending on post secondary education. We have also encouraged colleges and universities to become centres of excellence, developing ex- pertise in targeted areas. And we Happenings at The Villa December has been a busy month at the Villa. Our thanks to the drivers who took us to the Christmas pageants at the Pentecostal and United Churches. The Huronia Sings, Precious Blood school choir, the Guides and choirs from Bethel Reformed Church and Christian Reformed Church all shared the love- ly music of Christmas with us. Alpha Pi Sorority held a -Christmas party for the Lodge residents. Con- tests were enjoyed and a delicious lunch was served. A Christmas Shop- ping Spree was kindly put on by Big V in the Lodge to allow the residents a chance to do some Christmas shop- ping. Our thanks for their efforts and assistance. Our family Christmas parties were held on December 18. Residents in- vited friends and family to join them for tea and Christmas cookies. Thanks to Connie Donnan, Cathy Tollefson, Mary Lou Tait, Ruth Deitrich•, Anne Brodie and Al De Baan and his men's choir for pro- viding the musical entertainment. Rev. Bob Donnan held a beautiful carol service on Christmas eve and Mrs. Donnan played several carol selections on her flute. December birthday wishes are ex- tended to Alma Rundle, Allan Cook, Harry White and Carrie Willis. We extend our sincere sympathies to the families of Cornelius Hoonaard, Ada Armstrong, and the Blanchard family. We would like to take this oppor- tunity to thank all who helped make our Christmas merry and bright and to wish one and all a happy and pro- sperous New Year. SANTA AT.WORK — Santp Claus was busy moot of the day before Christmas pumping gas at the MIK service station, south of Exeter. �RCi? J1ollin d Productive session have pumped additional resources in- to skills training programs and co-op education, to make sure our young people have the basic skills needed to succeed. A third matter of deep concern is the recognition of the changing demographics in Ontario — the agjng of our population, and the rise in the number of single parent families, as well as double -income families. These changes place new and increasing demands on our systems of care. The Government has launched an objective and thorough review of our health-care system, a system on which we spend almost $10 billion a year. The Evans Review will examine the long-term needs of our health-care system, addressing these demographic changes, as well as the new trends in health, manpower and technology and the need for greater emphasis on preventive medicine. To deal with immediate needs, we have invested $850 million in hospital improvements, launched initiatives to improve community support for our senior citizens and introduced amend- ments to the NursingHome Act to en- shrine basic human rights for seniors in those institutions. Akotaripeatitpresent .enjoys _ the strongest economy in the country. We have been fortunate. But we have not taken our good fortune for granted. We recognize the potential and the need for Canada to make gains in the global market place. We have enor- mous room for growth in the Pacific rim, opening up markets in Japan, China and Korea. The Government has also been suc- cessful in securing investment both art home and from foreign sources, to maintain the growth of the vital automotive sector, which is the direct and indirect source of one in five jobs in Ontario. One of the major accomplishments in the last 18 months has been the change in the way we govern ourselves. Television coverage of the legislature has been extended from question period on through to commit, tee debates and special hearings. On- tarians now have the opportunity to view the process of government as never before. Wintario grant The Pineridge Snowmobile Club of Hensall has received e $4,061 Wintario Development grant from the Ministry of Tourism and Recreation. The club will use the grant to purchase an Alpine snowmobile. I would like to take this opportuni- ty to wish everyone a y season. I look forward tev0llilTth you.in the new year. WINS MICROWAVE — Dolores Shapton of RR 1, Exeter was the win- ner of a microwave oven in a recent draw at the Exeter EMA A&H Food Market. She receives her prize from Howard Holtzmonn. Work hard says Simon After a lifetime of service to the young people of Huron County, Simon Hallat1an of RR 3, Blyth, can con- dense his advice on how to succeed in life into one short sentence: work hard, and be good to your mother. The advice has worked for more kids than he can remember in his 50 years as a 4-H and youth club leader. It was the base of his own philosophy, and the example he set for the scores of youngsters he has worked with ase the leader of one of the oldest and largest dairy clubs in Canada. The tenet. has also held true in Hallahan's own life, as he survivied the death of two wives and the loss by fire of two dairy barns, to build the farm he established, Hallrice, into one. of the largest and finest dairy fartjls in the county. Now owned in partnership with his son, Maurice, Maurice's four sons and "the women in the family," Hallrice has grown from humble beginnings, nurtured by a man who was so mor- tified at finding himself once the owner of a spindly Holstein calf, that he sold it on the way home. "I was that embarrassed", Hallahan says. "In those days, if you didn't have Shorthorns, you weren't a very good farmer." However, he soon realized there were better things in life than the dai- ly "dipperful of milk" he was getting from his Shorthorns,. and went into purebred Holsteins "full strength", building up his herd to more and bet- ter cows after each barn fire, one in 1944, the other in 1966. Hallahan quickly became "very partial" to Holsteins, and it was this inclination which turned him into one of Huron's first 4-11 leaders, although the young people's organization was not called 4-11 uhtil about 1942. in 1936, when Hallahan first became involved as a club leader, the chit) was known as the Huron County Girls and Boys club, and was strictly a breed club, being devoted entirely to purebred Holsteins. And when the 4-H dairy calf program first began in 1942, it, too, was devoted entirely to Holsteins. But as early as 1952, OMAF ag reps recognized the shortcomings of such a club, and expanded and re- organized to the format still in use today. "It's far better now. i could see back then there was discrimination (favouring Holstein purebreds), and it wasn't fair to some of the boys and girls. There are lots of them with other breeds (and crossbreds) that were every bit as smart as some of the others," Hallahan says. He says he has seen a great deal of change in the dairy breeds of his 50 years of leadership, but the kids in- volved have stayed pretty much the same. I've never had a bad boy or girl in my club, never had one that was in- volved with the law, nothing very serious" Hallahan says. "and the 4-H training stays with them all their lives, you know, it provides discipline, and gives them a lot of confidence in themselves. "I look around, and I see that some of the boys who were in our club have done well financially with their farms, with other professions as well. i had a boy who grew up to be a suc- cessful doctor, and he told me that the stuff 4 -II taught him is still with him, still part of his life." Hallahan points with pride to Eldon Cook and Glen McNeil, both highly Successful dairy farms in Huron County, both began as members of the Hallrice 4-11 Dairy Club under his leadership. But when asked to name the highlight of his half century of ser- vice, Hallahan paused for a long time. "You know, he said, "1 think my highest memory will be those boys and girls there the other night (at the Hallrice Dairy Club Awards Night in Westfield on December 10). Did you see how well behaved they were? They are the *best there are: i was that proud of them...
