Brian Hall Farm Management Specialist for Huron County Management the game of life mm Today many farmers have been forced to think in terms of alternatives and adapt to new ideas in order to generate sufficient profit. If you can adapt, chances are you will be successful and•everyone will win - your farm business, your family, and you! The current economic environment will not let you sit back and coast if you hope to survive. Successful farm managers will continue to make things happen, not wonder why or watch things happen.

The Ontario Farm Management Analysis Project provides a "com- parative analysis" exercise that can be used to identify strengths and weaknesses in your business. Identi- fying a particular problem is only part of the battle. Once a problem is known some specific remedies can be M 840055 Ontario Municipal Board IN THE MATTER OF Section 5(3) of The Pits and Quar- ries Control Act. 1980 - and - IN THE MATTER OF a reference by the Minister of Natural Resources for a hearing in connection with the granting of a quarry license to Ross Riley for the operation of a pit on part of Lot 22, Concession 12, in the Township of Hibbert, in the County of Perth.

January 21, 1987 acb d 090Efing3 K.ey legislation issues By MPP Jock Riddell The Legislature has resumed atter the holiday recess and members of the Ontario Government are continu- ing work on a number of important matters affecting the lives of people in Ontario. The government will focus on several key issues in the new year. For example, work will continue on pay equity. At present, legislation for pay equity in the public•sector has received second reading and is now before committee at Queen's Park. Legislation for the private sector and the broader public sector has receiv- ed first reading. Improved access to adoption infor- mation will be the result of amend- ments to adoption disclosure legisla- tion. Freedom of information legisla- tion has received second reading and is before committee. With the introductions of amend- ments to the nursing home act, the government will continue to consult on nursing home regulations to im- prove the quality of care in Ontario nursing homes. As well, work will continue on pension reforms and the protection of pension benefits. In the meantime, Premier David Peterson has announced that Correc- tional Services Minister, the Honourable Kenneth Keyes, has resumed his position as Solicitor General. Also, Premier Peterson an- nounced that David Cooke (Kit- chener) and Dave Smith (Lambton) have been appointed deputy whips. Ottawa soft During the holiday recess, the Canadian Government, under pressure from some U.S. political leaders and the American lumber in- dustry, imposed a 15 per cent surtax on Canadian softwood lumber exports to the U.S. Premier David Peterson told reporters.that agreeing to a deal on the softwood lumber dispute with the Americans sets a dangerous precedent. "We've turned not only our resource and taxation policies, but in a sense our regional development and employment policies over to another sovereign country. It's a very dangerous precedent," said the Premier. "Many people in Ontario -- laid off workers -- are bearing the conse- quences of what I consider to be a decision that was very ineptly handl- ed from the beginning," Premier Peterson said. Premier Peterson also raised the possibility of a constitutional challenge to Ottawa's imposition of the export tax. He said the constitu- tional problem centres on the federal Page 15A government's decision to impose ex- port taxation of a provincial resource, without a federal -provincial agreement. Sfaffa By MRS. J. The January meeting of the Hibbert United Church Women, took place in the Family Life Centre, beginning with a pot luck lunch. Ada Pethick was chairperson for the meeting.

A list will be drawn up of people responsible for flowers in the church sanctuary each week for 1987. Miss Deiuorah Hoekstra closed the meeting with prayer after which some of the ladies resumed quilting. Mark event On Sunday January 11, a special service took place at the Hibbert United Church, to celebrate the twenty-fifth anniversary of the United Church Women. In 1962, the Woman's Association and the Woman's Missionary Society, united to become the United Church Women. The W.A. had supported the TEMPLEMAN work of the local congregation and the W.M.S. were educators and sup- porters for world mission. The purpose of the United Church Women became, to unite women of the congregation for the total mission of the church, and to provide a medium through which they could ex- press their loyalty and devotion to Jesus Christ in Christian witners, study, fellowship and service. The congregation were welcomed at the entrance by Doris Jeffery and Ella Vivian. Miss Deborah Hoekstra, pastor of the church, began the ser- vice and called on Gwen Harburn, clerk of session, and Lorne Fell, chairman of the stewards, who both brought messages of congratulations and thanks to the United Church Women. Florence McPhail led the responsive reading and also gave the scripture readings. Miss Hoekstra told the children's story and special music was provid- ed by the ladies' choir with Mary F. Dow, accompanying on the organ. The message "Called to Respond" the anniversary theme, was given by Margaret Kemp. Offering was received by Patti Taylor and Marjorie Johns. The responsive Prayer of Intercession was led by Helen Fell. A candle lighting ceremony took place, with three candles represen- ting the past, the present, and the future. These candles were lit by Mar- jorie Drake, Ilia Barker and Barbara Pullman. The comissioning and benediction were pronounced by Mass Hoekstra.
