The people in Russia are all
equal as far as possessions and
needs are concerned. There are
no rich and no poor. They're all
alike. They have been through
three , horrible revolutions and
are just now pulling out of it. In
the last war, ten million people
died • one out of every three per-
sons - mainly from starvation.
They have built a huge
monument to show where the
Germans were stopped, so ,that
their monstrous and beautiful
buildings were not destroyed.

- could shy away frbm the

they are still good Christians.

Conestoga openhouse
uron ounty s first an
post -secondary school held their
Open House last Thursday and
a crowd of 175 showed up to
view the facilities and to hear
guest speaker Charles
MacNaughton, MPP for Huron
and Provincial Treasurer.
Conestoga College's Huron
Centre, located at 4Vanastra
(former CFB Clinton) was first
opened in February of this ydar
-and now bbasts an enrolment of
150 full -lime students and 225
part-time students. The college
offers both credit courses and
non-credit courses for residents
of Huron County. There is also
adult training in . courses spon-
sored by Canada Manpower.
Mr. MacNaughton said that
the opening of the centre was a
milestone for Huron Oounty- "I
could not have predicted or
promised that some day we
would see the development of a
permanent facility . for post-
secondary and adult education
in Huron," he said.
"I see it as 'one of the most
significant developments that
has occurred • in Huron during
mystewardship as your provin-
cial representative."
Mr. MacNaughton said that
the people of Huron should look
at the opportunity the centre of-
fers for young people, adults, in-
dustries, for municipalities and
individual and community
development.
He said centres like the one
for Huron were established to
provide different courses than
secondary schools, to satisfy
secondary schorl--graduates who
were not going to university and
to meet the educational needs of
adults and out-of.ochool youth,
whether they ' graduated from
secondary school or not.
He said that the Huron Cen-
tre will become what the people
of Huron want it 'to be. "It
should, and will, I am confident
- respon . to what our citizens
desire.".
President of Conestoga
College also addressed the
crowd and he praised" Ross
Milton, the Huron Centres ad-
ministrator for helping to push
the ced'tre through. "The initial
problems . faced would have
daunted a lesser man and I am
sure that Ross over the past two
and one-half years must have
wondered if we would ever
make the Centre 'click',"
Seaforth Mayor Frank Sills,,
Huron's member on Conestoga's
board of governors said that the
Centre would enable the youth
of Huron 'County "to live and
"learn atP :home "Huron
County's greatest export is
brains," he said.
The official opening of the
Huron Centre will take place at
