She was released after her trial in Toronto, ending a 13 -day hunger strike behind bars. Since then, Ontario Pro- vincial Court judge Milton Cadsby has delayed judge- ment on her trial until early March, after the Supreme Court of Canada rules on the validity of the federal cabinet's decision to allow cruise testing in Canada. "It could have a bearing on the case," Judge Cadsby said. Ms. Young, who has met with everything from censure to devoted support in Huron County for her actions, was suspended without pay last December by the Huron County Board of Education, for taking time off without permission to attend the Lit- ton demonstration. She has been warned by the Board that she could be fired if her actions continued in the future. "I'm well aware of that", says Ms. Young.

Members of the board regret- fully accepted the resignation of Bev Brown as chairman of the board of directors. The tremendous energy and excellent leadership which Bev has provided for the last six years as a board members and chairman will be missed by all of the members who understand that the serious illness of Bev's farm partner has made it impossible for Bev to con- tinue in her leadership role at this time. Thea Trick of Clinton was elected chairman and ac- cepted the position fully aware that Bev's resignation has left "huge shoes to fill." Lauretta Stegner, Exeter fills the vice-chairman position. The 1983 year-end financial report showed that Town and Country Homemakers main- tained a positive financial balance after a year of many restraints. The Agency pro- vided an increase of 3500 hours of homemaking over 1982. The 1983 mail out cam- paign resulted in net proceeds of $12,472. The Board con- gratulated Jean Young, Ex- ecutive Director, for her ex- cellent administrative abilities. The agency has set the date of April 11 for its annual din- ner meeting and invites all in- terested people to join them at the Seaforth Community Cen- tre for what promises to be an exceptional evening. Angela Armitt will be the guest speaker. Ms. Armitt served for many years as Dean of Con- tinuing and Part Time Studies at the University of Western Ontario and is well known for her witty and informative speaking ability. Tickets are availahlN by rallina Elaine Gottschall or Lauretta Siegner and will not be available at the door.
