In memoriam HOY - In loving memory of our dear husband, father and grandfather, Robert Hoy who passed away, May 31, 1977. Robert Alexander Hoy A man I know is kind and great He once- was tall, stood five foot eight He just turned 70, of late. A mean disease has been his fate As he grows weaker day by day. And shudders in great pain My heart aches for the man he was. And will never be again. He used to be a hunter skilled Many a deer he's quickly killed Fox, goose and duck, he has shot dead But now he dies upon his bed. At fishing he does go all out Hooking salmon, perch and trout. For us he has caught these and more But now he waits at deaths dark. door. He was very gentle with the small And dearly loved by one and all Of enemies he had not one But this man will soon be gone heaven's gates will open wide Then- heaven's gates will open wide And let my Grandpa's soul inside A day he's long been waiting for When he will feel the pain no more. Written by his granddaughter, Martha Robertson.

The legislature's procedural affairs committee is holding a hearing to determine whether Riddell's privileges as an MPP have been breached by the union's action. The hearing began April 27, was adjourned until Thur-• sday and will resume.June 1. Riddell told the hearing he considered it his "obligation" to try to help resolve the strike at the Fleck Manufacturing plant in his riding. The strike at the plant in Huron Park began March 6 and is still under way. The legal actidn, involving comments he made about the Fleck .situation, "has in- terfered greatly with my work as a member," Riddell said. Riddell made his complaint about breach of privilege to the legislature early -last month. He said his privileges had been violated when UAW lawyers served him with a notice on intent to sue under the Libel and Slander Act. He also complained about the union application to the Ontario Labour Relations Board for leave to prosecute Riddell under the Labour Relations Act. The hearing before the board is still in progress. UAW lawyer Lennox MacLean of Toronto told the hearing last month the union was bringing action against Riddell as a private citizen. Riddell has charged that Section 38 of the Legislative Assembly Act has been violated. That section says an MPP is not liable to arrest, detention or molestation for any cause or matter of a civil nature during a session of the A. legislature, or 20 days before or after. Riddell told the committee Thursday he considered himself a MPP 24 hours aday and his Fleck comments were made in.that capacity. "If I was not a member from the riding, I don't think I would have been the least bit concerned about a strike at Fleck," he said. He said his legislative and constituency duties have suffered because of time spent on the legal actions, and that wouldn't help in the next election. Asked if he had taken a position on the strike, Riddell said: "I don't think I was taking a position. I was trying to get as much information as I possibly could." He said he hadn't met management personnel at Fleck before visiting the plant to talk to strikers, workers still on the job and management. Riddell said his remarks were based on what he had been told by some workers at Fleck. He said. he had a number of "signed statements confirming what they said." Baha'is honor the Bab On Monday evening, the Baha'is of the area gathered in the home of Mr. and Mrs.' Gerry Durst, Dawnrose Drive, to commemorate the event which marks the very beginning of their faith, the anniversary of th Declaration of the Bab.

C.E.C. installs 1978-79 officers BY MARY BERE Dr. Madeline Hardy, Assistant Superintendent with the London Board of Education was guest speaker at the annual dinner meeting of the Huron -Perth chapter of the C.E.C. (Council for Exceptional Children) held in St. John's United Church in Stratford on Wednesday evening, May 17. The subject of Dr. Hardy's address was, "Special Education - A Matter of Teamwork". She stressed that special services for the exceptio"nal child includes - everything from enrichment for the gifted to training to help the trainable retarded reach their potential. Since medical science can now save lives of children who would not have survived in former times,and since our society places a high value on academic achievement, the educational system must find ways to help many children who may be handicapped mentally, emotionally or physically. The effects of alcohol and drugs on young people have been much in, the news, but people are not fully aware yet of the consequences for the unborn children of the present generation. The use. of alcohol and drugs by an expectant mother may do irreparable harm to the fetus even before birth. Dr. Hardy reminded her audience of the importance of the role of the parents and how vital it is that there be communication between home and school and the special services department. Julia Henry thanked Dr. Hardy and presented her with a gift. President Randy Smith took charger -of the, business which included installing the new slate of officers for the 1978-79 year.
