Remember when you were
a child trying to memorize all
those tables of weights,
measures and temperatures?
It seemed so difficult at the
time and you thought you'd
never learn them all. But
almost everybody managed
oliay with the help of their
teachers and lots of practice.
In support of the federal
government's metric con-
version program, Ontario
schools have already started
to "go metric" and with the
help of the teachers and lots
of practice, children should
be able to make the change
over to metric fairly
smoothly.
But this is often not the case
with adults who have dif-
ficulty learning a whole new
system over again. That's
why Saint Joseph's'School in
Kingsbridge under the
direction of Principal Dave
Zyluk has recently been of-
fering a Metric Workshop to
adults at the school on
Wednesday evenings. An
admirable idea.
If you'd like general in-
formation about metrication,
write to the Metric Com-
mission, Box 4000, Ottawa,
KIS 5G8. If you want to find
out how your school is han-
dling metrication, call the
principal. And don't forget to
consult the children. Chances
are, they already know many
of the answers to your
questions about the metric
system.

Please
Please don't forget BLOOD
DONOR CLINIC to be held at
NORTH STREET UNITED
.CHURCH on Wednesday,
May 17 from 2 to 5 p.m. and
6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Organizers
want to emphasize the
CHANGE OF LOCATION for
the clinic this year from the
high school to the church.
They don't want to lose any
donors due to this location
switch as they need all the
donors they can get.
The Kinsmen are spon-
soring the clinic and the
Kinettes are helping by of-
fering a babysitting service in
the afternoon for donors with
children and by sending out
reminder cards to past
donors.
In order not to lose the
valuable student donors from
the high school due to the
location change, the Red
Crdss will use their mini bus
for a shuttle service, tran-
sporting students from the
high school to the church at
3:30 if they are interested in
giving blood.
Save a life. Be a Blood
Donor. It's important! And
don't forget that location
change.

party in general and Riddell
in particular for saying that
the NDP in the Conservative
won't support the Liberal
amendment proposed for Bill

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 statethent.
"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-
