The six countries, she said, have created better standards of life for the people. The market has seen the abolish- ment of most tariffs in nine 'years, instead of the proposed 15 years, but some tariffs do exist at the present time. The common market is an economic ,unification ofthe diplomatic relations of the countries, re- lated closely to economic poli- cies, the teacher explained. An unique system of guard- ing the economic policies was set up through the Treaty of Rome, whereby the treaty is interpreted and administered. the speaker said.

Wil- mer MacGregor designed and built his own craft from scratch and flew it during the annual events sponsored by Chapter 65, Experimental Aircraft As- sociation. A former Kippen resident, he followed a trend of home build- ing aircraft, which has become a big part in today's flying. Son of Mr. and Mrs. William Mac- Gregor, RR 3, Kippen, he was assisted in his project by his wife? the former, Muriel . Racho, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Racho, Egmondville. The plane is a single seater, open cockpit bi-plane, reminis- cent of the years between the wars. With the exception of the wheels, power -plant and propeller, the entire aircraft was built from raw materials, and it absorbed about two years of his spare time. The result is a real eyecatcher, a racy. looking craft that has a smart, performance, yet is docile to handle, Mr. MacGregor; a i ietieulotta craftsman' and a skilled Pilots ports that the little IA -plane. handled well; cruises at about 95 knots, and stalls at about 30 knots. The aircraft was flown off the drawing board and re- quired only minor trim adjust - t, :sill dlI4' „ "4 i ments. The MacGregors—a husband and wife team in building air- planes—are now busy gather- ing .material for their new pro- ject, a two-seater aircraft.

The present controversy as to Britain joining the market is hampered by her desire to gain full membership at .no cost, While receiving something as a guarantee that will help her financially, the speaker con- cluded. A ' gtlestion period followed, 'during which the members dis- •cussed some .of the future ef- fects f1'Iat the market might have. Chairman of the meeting was Henry Lansink. Miss McIntyre was . introduced by Robert Sharp, who 'gave a brief history of the' speaker, and thanked by Bruce Miller. Treasurer Ken Bedard gave a report of the financial af- fairs of the organization. Bruce Miller reported on member-, ships, asking the e)'utive to turn in their money as soon as possible. Lunch was ser ed to the group by Misses Elaine and Cathy Eckert at the conclusion of the program, assisted by several of the girls.
