The petition to be 'circu- lated to businesses in Huron, although not formally word- ed at the meeting, is expect- ed to voice. the support and concern of these businesses in Huron for farmers. "There is concern for the farm community in rural Ontario," said Mr. McQuail. He added that when farmers have money they buy pro- ducts from local businesses. The organization of this meeting follows the' OFA's April directors' meeting when a resolution by Bruce County Federation was ap- proved by a large majority of OFA's regional directors. The resolution asks that the OFA demand Mr. Tim- brell to implement a retroac- tive payment, to 1981, to all red meat producers in On- tario: This would, the resolu- tion states, bring Ontario producers to a level equal to subsidized producers in other provinces.

Portrait of Louise" and the famous "Who's' On First" Abbott-and-Costello-r-outine . A reminder "to' board members: because of the Victoria Day holiday the board meeting has been changed to May 14 at 1:30 p.m. Last week when I was doing a slide presentation on the centre at a meeting, I was asked if a person could attend the centre even if he or she still drove a car. The answer to the question is "yes". We have seniors participating in the program who drive themselves — being homebound has many different meanings. An elderly person may have a car, but nd place to go, so the centre is attempting to meet that social and recreational need for seniors in the community. An interesting quote that I came across recently in a handbook for planning leisure and retirement is as follows: "The freedom of choice el activities and the widening of the scope. of life is the very thing that makes retirement." Robert T. Allen.. talked on a trip she and- her husband had taken recently to Africa to visit their son and family in Casablanca. She also showed articles and pictures.

Mrs. Wall closed the meeting with prayer, following which the hostesses, Mrs. Hastings and Mrs. Robertson, served a dainty lunch. m Brookhaven events Everyone was very happy to see Gus Renzetti, Violet Whitfield and Catherine Renwick return to Brookhaven after stays in the hospital.
