HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Huron Expositor, 1984-04-18, Page 4[A4 — THE HURON EXPOSITOR, APRIL 18, 1984 Easter is DUBLIN Correspondent JOAN CRONIN 345-2772 Do you recall these famous lyrics? "In your Easter Bonnet with all the frills upon it. You'll be the grandest lady in the Easter Parade" or "Here comes Peter Cottontail, hopping down the bunny trail - hippity, hoppity, Easter is on its way". • For the fashion conscious it is the perfect time to model that new outfit and for the young and the young at heart it means jelly beans and chocolate treats from the Easter Bunny and perhaps an Easter Egg hunt about • the house or in the park. But it is more, much more than that. It is a time observed in all religious walks of life as one of sorrow and one of joy. Rightly so, we too should feel the sorrow. To think Christ died on the cross for the salvation of mankind, one tends to look around today in our corrupt and destructive society and say why? How could man be so cruel - to cause such pain. What a shame we as individuals cannot pull ourselves away from our me first society to see our many faults and failings and to say --forgive me. With Easter there is also joy - the joy of the Resurrection of Christ into Heaven. We too die and rise in our own lives if we examine thepi closely. We die a little when we are discouraged by failure, when sick er find our limitations far greater than our expectations, and when we live in an environment of fear and anxiety and worry overshadows our every move. But on the other hand we rise to great heights when we encounter support, friend- shipond love from friends and family. When we utilize our abilities to the fullest and when everything goes right. At this, point we find joy, fulfillment of life and inner peace. The Dublin Catholic Women's League met on Tuesday, Apr. 10 in the St. Patrick's Parish --Hall.

Hugh Edighoffer has his night Over 20 years have gone by since a Mitchell man was nominated as the Perth Liberal Riding Association's provincial can- didate. He lost his first attempt in the political foray. But on Oct. 17, 1967, Hugh Edighoffer was elected to represent the riding of Perth at Queen's Park. He hasn't looked back since. In recognition of those 16 plus years of service, more than 300 Liberals and some PCs and New Democrats gathered to honor the man• at an appreciation dinner in Stratford on Apr. 11. Congratulations came from both federal and provincial political figures. Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau sent a letter, adding his congratulations. But"politics was forgotten for the night as even Liberal leadership candidate Mark MacGuigan avoided making a pitch about the leadership race. There was some partisan kidding aimed at Mr. Edighoffer. Harry Parrott, a former member of the provincial parliament for the PC's, had a tie to give to Perth's MPP. It was of a Tory -blue color, but as Mr. Parrott noted, Mr. Edighoffer was already wearing a blue tie. pY ER CI -INIC SPR Y YpA VER E Misapplication of Chemicals can not only be expensive but also very damaging to crops and crop yields.

"We Mitchell boys have to stick toger ther," said Mr. Parrott. Mr. Edighoffer is held in high esteem among all parties in the legislature. That was borne out in the comments made throughout the evening. NDP, MPP Jack Stokes said he served as speaker of the legislature when Mr. Edighoffer was deputy speaker. "I'm not representing anybody in partic- ular," said Mr. Stokes. "A member of any political party would be pleased to be here." Mr. Stokes recalled some of the hurdles the pair went through together and said "Hugh did that with distinction." Provincial Liberal leader David Peterson of London also praised Mr. Edighoffer. "No one is more consistent in their values," said the Liberal leader. "I'm proud to be here to sing your praises," said Mr. Peterson. He said Mr. Edighoffer has served his province and country well. I guess I am somewhat overwhelmed,'' were Mr. Edighoffer's first words after he received a standing ovation on his way to the podium. He recalled his first years of campaigning when he and his wife, Nancy, and their four small children would head out early in the morning and not return home until late in the evening. There were many barbecues held the first summer and Mr, Edighoffer remembers a scene where one of•his young sons was sitting on a plank in a shed with food running down his front. • "For the next three days, Nancy was doing laundry," said Perth's MPP. He has been successful in five provincial elections, and Mr. Edighoffer said that after digging out statistics, he,discovered the over 80,000 ballots had been cast for him in this riding. I really appreciate this tribute," he said. Politics has always been an interest of the Edighoffer family. The MPP said his grandfather ran for Mitchell council in 1928 and won. About 30 years ago, his father was interested in standing as Perth's Liberal candidate in a federal election, but was unsuccessful. By experience, you don't always win, sometimes you lose," said. Mr. Edighoffer, referring to' his own political career as well as that of his father's. . The Edighoffers were presented with a framed painting of their home ,in Mitchell, The painting was done by Annoli Whyte. Mr, Edighoffer summed the evening up when he recited a quote by Thomas Jefferson. "The happiest moments of my life have been in the flow of affection among friends."

M. 1 McCreight Inspecting Trustee Student hired by HPSSB A student priest will be hired this summer by the Huron -Perth Separate School Board to find out how many Catholics in Stratford support the system with their taxes.

Discussing the incident, environmental officer Ron Quipp the inyestigator, said the volume of material dumped was very small. The municipal tile drain, which carried the contaminated material to the pond was clear on Wednesday when the investigation Was Perth counties surveyed, but agreed that a survey in Stratford is at least a start. One of the townships he represents has a significant amount of Catholics who are not supporting the system, he said. Dublin Trustee Louis Maloney said a lot of people don't know that unless they state they want their taxes directed to the separate school system, taxes go to the public school system. Specifics about the student priest's work, such as salary will be prepared by a board committee. - is accidental held so there was no chance of future contamination.
