A rock concert was sponsored by the Goderich and
District Optimist Club at the Goderich arena last
Saturday evening. The concert, which featured
three bands from Toronto, was put on as a fund
raiser and also to give the youth of the community
something to do, say the organizers. (Photo by

production should be
recognized as the
primary function in an
agricultural area and it
should be given the
protection it deserves or
we all lose.
Governments at all
levels must ensure the
farmer's right to farm
and consequently the
consumer's right to
purchase high quality
food at a reasonable
price.
The Middlesex
Federation of Agriculture
takes the stand that
severances should not be
granted too easily and
that urbanites who chose

that they have to live with
