(Photo • courtesy of Debbie Beaumont) Lot of frustration How the Ontario Federation of Agriculture (OFA) deals with the obstacles facing agriculture is the challenge facing the OFA said its president Ralph Barrie. Mr. Barrie was speaking to directors of both the Huron and Perth Federations of Agriculture at a seminar in St. Columban on Feb. 24. The bottom line is if the OFA can't respond to the greatest need, someone else will come along and do it," said Mr. Barrie. With a membership of over 25,000, Mr. Barrie said the OFA represents the silent majority, but the vocal minority is getting the public's attention. Of the OFA members, he said the vast majority want to appear responsible, ut that doesn't always fill the need. The OF 's response to the current economic difficulties experienced by farmers is to establish a counselling service through its headquarters in Toronto. "It's still in the process of being set up, but I believe that program has tremendous potential," said the OFA president noting Every week more and more people discover what mighty jobs are accom- plished by low cost Huron Expositor Want Ads. Dial 527-0/40 DublIw THE HURON EXPOSITOR, MARCH 2, 1083 - A5 Dublin bingo continues Correspondent JOAN CRONIN 345-2772 March has arrived in a calm cool state. If this means it carne in like a iamb 1 hope that it goes out like one also. We are getting quite spoiled by having such fantastic weather during February. After watching the nightly news casts and seeing the rains, floods and snow storms in other parts of the world, we should count our blessings. March is usually a very busy month for everyone. Hockey players are in play- offs. Figure skaters have only a few more weeks of lessons left before competit- ion. March break for all school students begins on March 21 to 2S, and gives the students a week away from books and studying before completing their final couple of months of school. St. Patrick's Day is coming also on Thursday, March 17 and Lent is coming to a close at the end of the month with Easter Sunday on April 3. During the March break many people spend a day or two shopping with the wardrobedrg with lighter spring apparel. The best part of shopping is getting a new Spring bonnet or dashing new outfit. After being bundled up in a heavy coat, mittens, scarf and hat it is a real lift to ones spirit to be decked out in a new Spring coat or suit with all the accessories. Sure it makes one feel like a Spring chicken. The Dublin and District Athletic Association Bingo held each Friday evening to the Dublin Community Cen- tre has a Jackpot of S650.00 this week on 57 calls. There was an excellent attendance last week which' made • the share the wealth and other special games very worth while. 4-H NEWS The fourth meeting of the Dublin 4-14 girls, 'The Dublin Glamour Gals', was held on February 24 at the home of Mary Lou Maloney. After the reading of their reports the girls read about skin care and skin type. The girls then divided into three groups and used three skin treatments; a facial mas cam, an abrasive scrub and steaming. Every- one then applied two ast- ringents "Cucumber Toner and Rosewater Astringent", and did a comparison test to end the meeting.

THAT DECORATING JOB that some farmers are having a tough time dealing with finances. While not condoning or condeming the farm survivalist movement, Mr. Barrie said he recognizes there is a lot of frustration in the farming world and the survivalists must be filling some kind of a need. "I've talked to farmers and I'm really concerned. They are overextended, but hardworking and they need some kind of assistance," said Mr. Barrie. The OFA president reviewed the history of the organization which was initially started in the 1930s. Experiencing rapid growth in the 1970s and making major gains for farmers by lobbying the provincial and federal governments, the organization now has to decide how it is going to continue working towards its motto, "Farmers work- ing for Farmers." Other aspects of the OFA, such as the duties and responsibilities of directors, how the OFA is run, public relations and membership sales were also discussed at the seminar. Average small town is growing "The average small town is growing," says Professor Gerald Hodge in a paper presented to delegates at The New Neighbourhood. a conference on housing and community development sponsored by the Ontario Ministry of Municipal Affairs and housing. Professor Hodge. director of the school of urban and regional planning. Queen's University, presented his findings to a seminar titled The Small Town: Its Prospects and Planning. According to Mr. Hodge's research, "the total population of Canada's small towns grew by 443,000 in the 1960s to 3.9 million and in the 1970s...another 500,000 were added." He also claims housing stock increased by "an astounding 25 per cent in each decade....in all the regior)rs of Canada." FRESH ONTARIO CHICKEN LEGS zehrs fine markets... of fine foods • AT THE DELI This good news is underlined by the fact that 80 per cent of all centres in Canada added new retail firms. Mr. Hodge goes on to state that "commercial growth currently is exceeding population in its rate of increase.' While admitting that growth r es may not be huge --studies put them at'bout 10 per cent --Mr. Hodge is emphatic that the small town in Canada is alive and well. The reasons for this revitalization are hard to pinpoint. An American researcher attributes much of it to the "new three Rs -- Resources, Recreation, Retirement." As an example. Hodge cited the case of Canmore, Alta. Fifty years ago it was a busy mining town. now its economy is based on tourism and recreation. Most important of all, says Mr. Hodge, is, the "optimism and indomitable spirit" of the small town population.
