program
More than 1000 delegates
from across Ontario were in
Toronto attending the annual
meeting of the Liberal Party in
Ontario January 21 to 24.
Spending Friday and Saturday
in discussions concerning 12
policy resolutions, the delegates
approved a series of policy
decisions that will form the basis
of a platform in the forthcoming
provincial election.
In a keynote speech to
delegates Friday, Robert Nixon
said the Liberals are in a strong
position to win the next election
because the ruling Progressive
Conservative party has become
demoralized with the resignation
of Premier John. Rollartscdand
the New fjembe.Mie PariT Is too
radically socialistic to win the
support of the people.
"The time has come for a
change," he said, urging
delegates to support what he
described as a blueprint for
government that emphasises
fiscal and administrative reforms
and policies geared to relieving
the unemployment crisis,
poverty, and the encrouchment
of foreign control in Canadian
industry.

THANK YOU
The Huron County Board of Education and its staff
wish to express their very sincere gratitude to the
many, many residents of the County who contributed

A storm and power failure
such as we experienced this past
week really brings out the best
in people.
The power failure took place
on Louisa St, and over the
highway around Keith Cresc.
,Many people opened their
homes to those without heat.
Pat Graham used his store as a
headquarters and kept in touch
with those in need.
Arnold Makins and Jim
Hutchings strung temporary
wiring to some homes ‘to provide
heat.
Jack Merrier, Ken Mackie, Joe
Brandon, Don Lindsay and
Keith Bunn ran a taxi service
ith their snowmobiles and
nine of the people who were
ven a ride never imagined they
ould ever ride on one of those
nferual machines.
"John Lindsay plowed a path
'tabling Jack Merner to
ransport (with his car) Mrs,
ohnston from her house to Mrs.
erg Mayman's.
All in all I think a vote of
hanks is in order to all who
elped the people in need in our
illage and I promise not to cuss
tYmore when a snowmobile
oes by and interrupts the
rograrn on my TV screen.

Andrew's United Church was
cancelled last Sunday and will be

15,000 chicks in out of the cold

the help of Rev. Don Beck, Ted
Gozzard, Don Lindsay and Cal
Scotchmer,,,five feet of snow in
the drive was moved and the
