Some members have suggested :hat the annual sale be held in conjunction .,with Perth County. But Perth members have not been receptive to the idea reported Dave Marshall, South Huron director. Mr. Marshall had talked with some of the Perth members about the idea of a combined sale. "1 got the impression that they did not think it was a good idea" Mr. Marshall told a club meeting Monday in Clinton, Wilbert Freeman, director from North East Huron reported that at a meeting of the Walkerton Little Royal Fair county reps there has been a suggestion of having a Tri county sale with Bruce, Grey and Huron. 'The idea was brought up at the end of the meeting and 1 told them that Huron would have to know by the fall jusIwhat they were proposing for a sale in 1980." Mr, Frccman'said. The club members decided to take the advice of their sales agent and have their own sale sometime in the first week of August. A selection committee was organized and will meet later this month to set up regulations on the selection of stock for the sale.Conumittec members are Bob Vodden, committee head, Dave Marshall, .limn McKague, Joe Van Osch and Wilbert Freeman. Members discussed the possibility of having a dispersal sale im mcdiateley after their own sale and the committee agreed to look into the matter. Robert McNeil and Dave Marshall reported on activities at the National Holstein Fresian Association meeting in Toronto, Huron presented a resolution to the national board asking that all past presidents of the national association be named honourary lite members to the National Holstein Fresian Association. The board turned down the resolution. The Huron Club had decided to bring the matter to other counties in the area to solicit support. Then the Huron group will bring the resolution up again at the fall meeting of the national association in October. The two representatives suggested that the Huron Club rent a room at the meetings to give local club members a place to hang their coats and meet others from their area, "It is important for members to know that they have a delegation down at the meetings" said Mr. M cNcil. The club members agreed and a suite will be rented I'or the next netting in 1980. Other highlights from the 'Toronto meeting included cutting back of directors from the I -1u von area to three from four. "Wide an election coming up soon We need another director from this area and so 1 ask everyone to support a .local representative Tike Jim Needham" Mr. Marshall said. The question of upgrading was left with the committee to do more investigating. "As far as nip cattle are concerned the committee didn't know what genetic potential nipped cattle would have compared to the purebred."said Mr. McNeil. More specific information is needed. As a result of the annual meeting the OMMB is going to come under fire to present a better dairy - display. Members were concerned that the display could be more effective as it portrays the dairy industry to more urban than rural viewers. The I'luron Holstein club has over 30 new members and all have been invited to an information day Friday March I6 al the Agricultural office.

Sha (low breathing triggers that movement, I hope everyone reads this, then they will know why 1 hide behind my hand at meetings a lot. My brain requires some air. Since I have stumbled upon this little bit of golden news 1 have made a conscious effort to understand twitching and fidgeting. It is defintely true that fidgeting makes you more alert. A few deep breaths, and crossing of legs several times in a row beats standing up in a meeting and dis Curbing everyone. I have found that although 1 am trying to stay awake and listen carefully to what is going on around me, my eyes start to drop when the room gets stuffy. The solution is to think of something cold and try and move your body around on your chair in order to make it uncomfortable and therefore wake up. Have you ever noticed the chairs at some offices? They are carefully molded into one comfortable position and no matter how you try to fidget around to make yourself more comfortable in a dif- ferent position it is im- po ssible. A hard stool with a back would, I think .be easier for people tsay more alert if allowed to fidget freely and not be restricted by a contoured chair, Perhaps you have noticed that children who have a problem with keeping still may have a tendency to pick up more information because they are that much more alert then the ones told repeatedly to keep still and are not allowed to respond to body demands.

Every few weeks the politicians and media in Ottawa get embroiled in trying to predict when the next federal election will be. All the while Trudeau smiles and makes no definite comment. It is apparent that there are several alternatives open to the PM and he is making sure that they are all left open, thereby confusing press and prospective opponents further. Under the constitution Trudeau's mandate expires at the end of July• Canada's last federal election was held July 8, 1974. Technically the general election wouldn't have to be held until mid 1980, as long as the new parliament convenes less than 12 months after the last sitting, of the current House of Commons. There is going to be an election that is for sure. It would seem the mystery around the date keeps members from introducing important bills for fear of being cut short by the election. For•others the promise of an election brings out hecklers in full force. The House of Commons scenes the public views are filled to capacity with subtleties and inuendo which are not lost on the public and are all taken into account at the polls. Politics is business but for some it is part fun. Election time brings out the best of both. Trudeau has been accused of having his merry way with everyone by stalling on setting a date. At the polls we play the final hand of the game. To the editor: Let's keep the hospital The people of Wingham and District are very legitimately proud of our local hospital, it has proven to be an indispensible asset to our community, It is efficient, well equipped and well staffed. How many of our people realize that we are going to lose our hospital? We are. The first step has already been taken. The Government realized during its abortive attempts to close Durham and other small hospitals that the public will not ;land by and meekly allow such flagrant iolation of human rights. So now a new Insidious method has been chosen to achieve the same ends. This year we lose 14 beds. By next year we will have lost 28 beds. The reason for this is that the Ministry of Health, for no valid reason, has chosen the random figure of 3.5 beds per 1000 of population. This figure is "not negotiable" according to the Ministry of Health as quoted by Hospital Adminis- trator Norman Hayes. This is regardless of a study done in Grey County which proved that areas compatable to our own here in Huron County require 5.4 beds per 1000. Where did this arbitrary Government figure come from? Good question. There appears to be no answer. So this year we lose 14. Then who will stop the government from calmly lowering their figure from 3.5 to 3. then to 2.5? Once our hospital gets so small that it cannot support all the auxiliary services which it boasts now, such as extensive lab work, outside specialists, surgeons, consul- tants etc, then it will no longer be a viable institution, At that point, the Government will coldly command it to be closed. We should learn from the mistakes made in Britain where the same pattern evolved. All small hospitals were gradually forced to get smaller and less proficient and eventu- ally were forced to close. Now only unwieldy colossal institutions remain and it is the people who suffer. People are on waiting lists extending over years for simple surgical procedures that now we take for granted. We have to stir ourselves from this apathy in which we are mixed. This hospital is going to have to close. We have to do something about it and we have to do it now. We cannot wait until it is dwindled so small that it is not economically efficient. Now is the time to act. Now, while we still have something to save. We all have a personal interest in this matter so it is up to all of us, not just "somebody else" to write to the Ministry of Health, to our local M.P.P., and to get out and attend open meetings such as. the one held last February 21st. We must question. We must listen, We must dig for the truth and we must haunt the Government with our loud cries of "Nol" Only by continuing to question their supreme right to rule our lives do we have a chance to prevent this calamity from taking place. It is our hospital. Let's keep it, Sincerely, Mrs. Raye Elmslie Advertising Is accepted on the condition that in the event of a typographical error the advertising space occupied by the erroneous Item, together with reasonable allowance for signature, will not be charged for but the balance of the advertisement will be paid for at the applicable rate.

Mighty Maitland Behind the Scenes by Keith Roulston Our differences One of the things that has made Canada different from other countries is that we have chosen to accentuate our differences rather than adopt a melting pot theory. That same kind of thinking has grown from the beginning here in Huron County where each town and village fiercely guards its independence and its individual identity. We have in recent years seen both the good side and the bad side of this policy on a national and local level. It's impossible in a country so big for people to think the same, to have the same successes and problems all across the 3,000 plus miles. Our common exper ience is small compared to our differences: differences of historical background, differences of distance, dif- ferences of climate, differences of temper- ment. One of the things that has always fascinated me is the ability of communities to take onaunified personality. We've seen that right here in our own area where two towns of about the same size only 10 miles away from each other can have completely different personalities. Somehow the sum total of all the per- sonalities of the people in the community and the historic background of the com- mu. nity blend together to form a com- munity personality. One town can be aggressive and "modern" while a town just down the road can be concerned more with preserving its past. If communities so closely situated can have marked dif- ferences, how much more likely is it for regions or provinces to have differences, Canadians have clung strongly to the idea of "vive la difference' when it comes to such things. The fight for provincial rights has been one of the toughest battles fought in this country. Locally we have can get too carried away with the independence of each of our communities to the point where there is a hopeless duplication of services and resources. We are in danger of building city states of the fought hard against provincial government attempts to homogenize us into huge regional governments and at least for the moment we seem to have won. This concern with individualism in communities and regions can add much to the interesting composition of our country but it can also add problems. Locally we kind that were evidenced in ancient Greece, Our towns and villages have been obsessed with having every facility pos- sible so they won't have to depend on other communities for any service. The recent rebuilding of arenas, for instance, has left us with some facilities that will always be under used and runningup costs. How many dance halls and banquet halls seating 400-500 people can we really support in Huron County? And in, Clinton right now they're planning to build an expensive new swimming pool, one that will obviously lose money and have to be supported by the taxpayers when in Vanastra which is almost a suburb of Clinton, there is already in indoor swimming pool which is also losing tons of money. Yet the people of Clinton are so independent that they don't want to have anything to do with the sharing of facilities. Oh people claim that transportation is a problem but if they were really interested in a common sense approach the transportation issue could be solved. Well, that's they're problem, except that through senior government grants we'll all be chipping something in. Then we have squabbles over who's going to pay for what, with towns and villages arguing with their surrounding townships over helping to pay for facilities used by everyone. Nationally we're involved in the sane kind of arguments. Quebec and Ontario are fighting over whether workers from one province should be allowed to work in the (Continued on Page 5) Behind the Scenes by Keith Roulston (Continued from Page 4) other province. Ontario and Alberta are fighting over oil prices, Alberta is guarding its old wealth like an old lady holding onto her purse straps in the middle of a park filled with muggers, Premier Lougheed at this upbeat time of his province's history would like to build walls around the province to keep the wealth in and fend off the rest of greedy Canada. Self sufficiency has, if anything, been overlooked in the last few decades as we have rushed to specialization. We have people who would like Canada to forget about manufacturing many things we can't do "efficiently" and to specialize in what we can do best, This same trend has found its way to provinces, towns and even to family farms which are often totally dependent on one product. Diversification is healthy wihtin reason, Self sufficiency is healthy, within reason. The probelm is that we have to put more of that reason into our self sufficiency, We have to learn to co-operate to share those services or resources that cannot possibily be provided everywhere. When this country was being built the pioneers strove for self-sufficiency because they had to, They also, however, worked co- operatively, again because they had too. How much stronger, happier and better our communities and our country would be today if they could bring back those principles of the early pioneers.

Mildred Ament, Hildegarde Hoba, June Hull, and Elsie Walsh of the Evening unit served the 30 members in attendance, the cake with ice-cream and tea. After the camera ladies had taken pictures of the recipient at the decorative tea table, Mrs. Webster showed her sincere ap- preciation in a few suitable words. The theme for the worship service at this meeting was Christian Education of children. It was prepared by Sharon Wittich and conducted by Mary Wightman who also gave the Meditation entitled The Challenge. She closed this part of the meeting with prayer. The film strip shown by Rev.

Coultes, Belgrave; 4th John Queen's Park Budget promises BY MURRAY GAUNT This week's .,. Throne Speech opened the Third Session of the 31st Parli- ament. The speech, read by Lieu- tenant Governor Pauline McGibbon before a packed Legislature, promised every- thing from more handouts to industry, stepped-up apprenticeship training, buses for the disabled, commitments to national unity, a substantial increase in tourist promotion, to a better program of food price monitoring. Free drugs for senior citi- zens will be continued. In addition, the government promised that services for chronically ill patients who want to live at home will be extended, and a "significant number of beds will be added to the system for persons needing long term nursing home or chronic hospital care." A special board of provin- cial Cabinet Ministers will administer an employment development fund to give incentives to industry to create jobs. The program is expected to cost about $200 million, The government will be looking at companies with long term growth potential, 13.3% of the population in Bruce County is 65 years of age and over, and 12,9% of the population in Huron County is in that category. Hopefully, adjustments can be made to account for that. Industry and Tourism Minister Larry Grossman said the fund is "an attempt to speed up the process" of assisting medium sized Canadian firms to change their product lines, modern- ize plants, get into export business or more research and development, Other highlights of the speech include; —Legislation to protect children in custody —Amendments to the Labour Relations Act to cut the costs of arbitration —Lumber companies will be resnonsible for forest management, while govern- ment maintains responsib- ility for productive forest lands —A $58 million five- year cost-sharing agreement with the federal government will demonstrate new tech- nology in energy conser- vation and regeneration. —The August 6th civic holiday will be designated Children's Day, with special events in Provincial Parks. Jack Riddell (Huron - Middlesex) and I, along with others in the House, have asked the Minister of Health about the difficult situation encountered by area hosp- itals in regard to bed cuts. The Minister indicated that there will be adjustments made in the program, and that additional chronic beds will be allowed in areas of the province that have aged populations above the pro- vincial average of 8.6%. The Minister has indicated that he will be working through the Health Councils, CHRISTIAN REFORMED CHURCH Rev, T.

And 1 don't mean that dreadful February cold snap which turned us into our annual winter condition, a nation of misanthropes. Burst water pipes, cars so cold you can't even put them into reverse to back out in the morning, and temperatures that would freeze the brains of a brass monkey arc bad enough. But we're used to them, We know that in another four months, we'll be gasping in a heat wave and beating off mosquitoes. No, that's not the suffering we did this February, It was being smugly satisfied on a Thursday night. mildly dismayed on a Saturday afternoon, and utterly humiliated on a Sunday night that caused the suffering. 'talk about blue Monday, That Monday in Feb., after them Rooshians had kicked the living stuffing out of Canada's finest, was so blue it was almost purple. I'm not saying that I, personally, suffer when Canada's primary export, hockey players, is no longer marketable. 1'111 not saying that. I'm just saying that I bleed a little, internally, when a bunch of rotten red, pink() communists make a group ()I' fine, young. liberal. capitalists look like a bunch of old -age pensioners )whose Geritol has been cut off. Right alter the second game, I went to the clinic and had a cali()c;r:un, j !us; in rase. I nm;iSt say we took it well, as a nation. For once;. there were 00 alibis. How could there be, '.hen hundreds of millions of people sa v ou collective Canadian noses being rubbed in :f? Sports writers, 'mete• guts churning, praised the play of ..he Russians and intimated that they kne',, :dl along what would happen. As they always do, after the event. 'l'he Canadian players showed more grace. The best of them simply admitted they were beaten soundly by a superior team. But they knew in their hearts that they. and all their highly paid buddies, were facing not a physical Siberia, but a Siberia of the soul. They were the Best in the West, and they had not been just beaten but thoroughly trounced, by the Best in the East, where hockey is a relatively new sport. Not for me to ask, "How did it happen?" All the experts have agreed that the Russians skate better and are infinitely superior in physical condition to the We suffered enough pampered Canadian pros, who weighed an average of nine pounds more than their opponents. It is only for me to ask, "Why do we suffer so much- when we're licked in hockey?" And I think 1 know the answer to that. For a century or so, Canadians have been hewers of wood and drawers of water, Fair enough. We had lots of wood and water, and still have and other people need them. But we also had three superior finished products manufactured at home, that nobody else in the world could touch, when it cane to quality: maple syrup, rye whiskey, and hockey players. Our supremacy in these departments is virtually, ended. Our whiskey has been watered more and more, our maple syrup has been thinned to the consistency, of greasy -spoon gravy, and our hockey players, with a few stalwart exceptions, are more impressed with their hair -dos, their press clippings, and their financial state- ments than they are with heating their opponents. There is a sadness (mere. Rye whiskey is bad for the liver, maple syrup bad for the teeth, so perhaps their denigration is not a national disaster. But to have a , hockey team that is second or third or fourth best in the world? That is unthinkable. livery red-blooded, middle-aged male in Canada has hockey in his veins. He personally knows, or his best friend does, or he lives in, or lives in the next town to, or is sixth cousin of, or grew up with, or was preceded by only 10 years by, in school, a genuine• hockey player, who made it to Junior A, or Senior A, or even the NHL, or one of its farm teams. Two of the quarterbacks on my high school football team, Les Douglas and Tony Licari, made it to the Detroit Red Wings organization. My brother-in-law, .sack Buell, played Junior A and Senior A and became a referee. My grandson, at the age of two, was given a hockey stick and demolished his grandmother's hardwood Boors in the living -room, smashing a puck around the floor with great vigor and a certain lack of control, (She finally put her foot down when he insisted on scrim- maging around the piano W'hile she was giving lessons To add insult to injury, this idiotic idea of lona Campagnola, Minister of .locks, has popped up, She wants to give $18.5 million of my money and yours to flan• Canadian SEAFORTH - CAMBRIDGE - AYR-WOODSTOCK What's your planter worth at peak planting season?
