The Mitchell Advocate
informed its readers this
week that their taxes will
increase this year.
The Advocate explained
that residential taxpayers in
Mitchell will face an increase
of 5.85 percent on their 1978
tax bills. In dollars and cents,
this means that a new tax
levy will cost homeowners an
additional $27.20 per $4,000 of
house assessment.
The Blyth Standard
reported that Marion Wright
received special recognition
from the Blyth Horticultural
Society recently for her 25
years of active service with
the club.
Along with a corsage and
comments from other
members regarding Mrs.
Wright's contributions, she
was presented with a framed
certificate. Mrs. Wright is the
secretary -treasurer for the
society.
Expansion may hit
Wingham this fall when a
small shopping centre may be
setup.
The Wingham Advance -
Times reported that there is a
strong possibility that a mall
could be constructed this fall.
The mall reportedly will
contain several stores and a
supermarket.
Hans Kuyvenhoven,
president of Royal Homes,
who owns the land designated
for the mall, said that a
shopping centre would be an
asset to Wingham, by at-
tracting customers to the
town and enticing Wingham
residents to do their shopping
in town.
The Zurich Citizens News
reported that the " Hay
Telephone system is
modernizing itself and
progressing with the times by
switching to computerized
customer billing.
The system reported since
the change there has only
been one customer com-
plaint, while numerous other
customers stated that they
were pleased with the new
monthly billing method.
The Listowel Banner
proudly told its readers of a
lady who has donated 55 pints
of blood in her lifetime, and is
aiming at 100.
Miss Violet Mccrackin
received a certificate after
donating her first 50 pints but
still has to reach her goal of
100. Not .only has she given
blood many times, the
Banner went on, but she has
walked to blood donor clinics
in Palmerston and Wingham.
She often gets rides to clinics
from neighbours or the local
practitioner, but if she can't
get a ride, Miss Mccrackin

Looking for a unique at-
mosphere to enhance your
dining pleasure, then plan to
stop at Kincardine.
The Kincardine News
reported that in June the
Avalon Voyager II will be
docking in the harbor where
its new owners Hank and
Thelma Buitendyk plan to
convert the ship into a
seafood restaurant. It is
hoped that the conversion will
be completed next summer,
then diners can eat in the 136 -
foot vessel with its "down
east" theme.
The Lucknow Sentinel
reported this week the Point
Clark Kinsmen became the
96th club in District 1 when
they received their charter
recently.
A capacity group of
Kinettes, Kinsmen and
special guests welcomed
their newest brother club at a
banquet in Lucknow where
several ceremonies and
presentations took place.
While the Sentinel
welcomed a new club, the
Huron Expositor paid tribute
to an older one as the Seaforth
WI celebrated - their 50th
birthday.
The Seaforth Junior
Women's Institute was born
on February 3, 1928 as a club
for women who wanted to
share a common interest in
homemaking.
About 125 Institute mem-
bers, families and friends
arrived for the birthday
celebrations at the Seaforth
Public School. Among those
there were 10 who attended
the first WI banquet in 1928 at
the Olympia Restaurant,
which used to be above
Larone's on Seaforth's Main
Street.
The Goderich Signal Star
informed its readers last
week that a group of some 50
Kingsbridge residents hope to
use St. Joseph's -Separate
School as a centre of com-
munity activities in the next
few years.
The Signal explained that
St. Joe's is central to Ashfield
and West Wawanosh
Townships in Huron County
and Huron Township in
Bruce. The interested
residents would like to see the
school used as a meeting
place for clubs, sports teams,
recreational groups and
service organizations if a
proposal to make it a com-
smunity school is successful.
The Exeter Times -
Advocate attended a
momentous occasion recently
when Dashwood Industries
Limited (DIL) celebrated
their 50th anniversary.
Employees, MP Bob
McKinley, special guests
along with Maurice and
Howard Klumpp, now both
retired, but who began what
is now known as Canada's
leading manufacturer of
wood windows attended the
celebrations.
It seemed that most
weeklies were filled with
stories of happy celebrations,
and the Brussels Post was no
exception as it reported that
the Legion honored George
Ingles on his 80th birthday.
The Post said that veterans
from across Zone Cl of the
Royal Canadian Legion
marked Mr. Ingles birthday.
Mr. Ingles,, a well-known war
veteran, celebrated his
February 14 birthday only
recently at .the Brussels
Legion.
Zone Commander George
Campbell of Clinton was on
hand to congratulate the WWI
veteran who fought the battle
of Vimy Ridge when he was
sent in as part of a rein-
forcement of the 58th Infantry
Battalion. The - battalion
fought in the 3rd division of
the 9th Brigade.

Riddell's rebuttal
BY SHIRLEY J. KELLER
Jack Riddell, Huron-
Middlesex- MPP, responded
this week to a story last week
in which Bob Eaton, MPP for
Middlesex, - and
Parliamentary assistant to
the Minister of Consumer and
Commercial Relations, called
the Dashwood area farmer
"irresponsible".
Eaton criticized the Liberal
party in general and Riddell
in particular for saying that
the NDP in the Conservatives
won't support the Liberal
amendment proposed for Bill
70, in the new Occupational
Health and Safety Act, to
exempt farmers. -
"To play games with the
interest of agriculture by
pretending that he is the one
trying to get agriculture
exempted is completely
irresponsible on Mr. Riddell's
part," Eaton'said. "It was his
party who voted for the in-
clusion of ` agriculture - and
others - for whom the Bill was
not designed."
The following is Riddell's
rebuttal to that statement.
"I would like to comment
on Mr. Eaton's recent release
concerning Bill 70. The
Ontario Liberal Party has
consistently opposed the
immediate inclusion of
farmers under the
Occupational Health and
Safety Bill,
"During committee
hearings on this Bill, Hugh
O'Neil one of my Liberal
colleagues, moved the
following amendment: "Not
withstanding sub -section 1,
this Act does not apply to
farmers unless designated
generally or specifically by
regulation."
Every Liberal member of
the committee supported this
amendment. Mr. Eaton and
every one of this Con-
servative colleagues in the
committee, voted against the
amendment. The NDP also
voted against the amend-
ment. Had Mr. Eaton and his
colleagues supported our
amendment, farmers would
have been excluded from the
Bill.
"Now Mr. Eaton seems to
want to forget how he voted in
committee. Now Mr. Eaton is
mixing the question of
coverage for farmers with
coverage for other groups.
Does Mr. Eaton not agree
with the Federation of
Agriculture . that• the
agricultural sector is dif-
ferent from other sectors and
that "agriculture requires
special consideration in the
development of occupational
health and safety
legislation"?
'"The Minister of Labor and
her supporters appear to be
holding farmers of this
province as hostages. They
know that the farmers
shouldn't be covered, but they
can't allow them to be ex-
cluded unless the Minister
gets away with respect to
other aspects of Bill 70 that
are completely unrelated.
"I know where I stand with
respect to the farm com-
munity. I don't believe that
farmers should be included in
this Bill at this time and I
voted that way. Mr. Eaton
can't say the same thing."
CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, THURSDAY, MAY 4, 1978 -- PAGE 11
Flowers of Hope canvass to start
"Look what you've done!"
That's the theme of South
Huron and District
Association for the Mentally
Retarded's Flowers of Hope
campaign. It's a tribute to the
citizens of this area.
"A decade ago a few per-
sons met to discuss their
concerns for the mentally
handicapped. They devised
an approach and then asked
you for help." This is a quote
from a pamphlet produced
for the campaign. It then goes
on to say: "Look what you've
done!"
Recently some 400 people
helped the Association
celebrate its ten year history.
One of the highlights of the
banquet was the review of the
rapid growth of services in
this area to the handicapped.
The pamphlet briefly
describes these services
provided at ARC, Dashwood,
the two residences, the
nursery at Alhambra Hall,
south of Grand Bend and
Huron Hope School now under
the jurisdiction of the Board
of Education. Twelve of the 50
employees at ARC are from
the Clinton area.
Now that the- Association
has a good basis for providing
services to the handicapped,
it is becoming involved in the
most fundamental of all
approaches - prevention. The
local Association is one of the
first in the province to
spearhead an interest in this
direction.
The prevention committee,
under Mrs. Pat Wright,
Exeter, is looking at several
areas in its intial research :
schools, health care, parent
contact and public
awareness.
The committee's target is
to help young people and
mothers of child-bearing age
to become aware of how to
protect their future children
from handicapped conditions,
as well as teaching young
parents how to help their
children grow through infant
stimulation.
The Association's most
recent acquisition is a white
and orange striped building
which will be located on the
ARC property at Dashwood.
The colorful structure will
house the bakery, begun
some months ago. Demand
for its food products has
prompted the expansion of
