MF AGRI BUILDERS RR 2, Staffa Ontario, N0K 1YO Phone 345-2611 Blender Manager | By JACK RIDDELL | MPP Huron-Middlesex Recently the Liberal Caucus held a policy con­ ference on the “Challenge for the 80’s: Changing Needs and Limited Resources”, the purpose of which was to bring together Caucus members, leading authorities in major policy fields and community leaders for in-depth dis­ cussions of some of the ma- jor issues facing the Province of Ontario. Participants in the Conference were divided into four "Theme Groups” on (a) “Trends in Society: Human Relations; (b) “Building a Competitive Society; Industrial Strategy”; (c) “Role of Government: Controlling Big Brother”; and (d) “Liv­ ing with the Planet: Conserver Society”. Ryerson President Walter Pitman was the keynote speaker for the first group on human relations. He stressed the fact that we need to change our expec­ tations for the future. “We are not going to see the style of the ‘50’s and ‘60's again.

I LB. reason - a lack of energy, a realization that we must conserve our non-renewable resources, a recognition that there is no “technological fix” which will heat up a massive growth syndrome once again.” We must always bear in mind the reality of “our finite, fragile universe”, and recognize “the most obvious human psychological and spiritual needs which have been battered by the social effects of the industrial revolution”. “The word which leaps out is that of ‘appropriateness* - to the human needs in the context of the restrained, more sensitive, more in­ tellectual and spiritual en­ vironment.” Walter Pitman referred to this concept as the “Politics of Lifestyle the Politics stressed the “horizontal” “vertical” problem solving - equating vertical with rigid adherence to division of problems by Ministry, “pollution in one box, in­ dustrial growth and develop­ ment in another”,etc. We must accept fully our .pluralistic society, give everyone a sense of belong­ ing and making a contribu­ tion. It’s important to work within the context of the family, the neighbourhood and the community, and a “part of the work-style will be the emphasis not only on a healthy workplace but one which is psychologically satisfying. In this group, background papers were presented for discussion by Ted Harvey, Professor of Sociology at the University of Toronto - on “Labour Force: Patterns, Problems, Policies”; Bruce McLeod, Former Vice- Chairman of the Ontario Human Rights Commission on ‘‘Racism and Pre­ judice”; Gail Newall, Fami­ ly Counsellor in the Region of Durham on “Family and Social Relationships”; and Marvyn Novick, Senior Program Director of the Social Planning Council of Metropolitan Toronto on “Demand for Services”. Mr. Harvey spoke of the impact of the post-war “baby boom” on the labour force, the relationship between industrial strategy and jobs, and the fact that Canada has the best job­ creating record of all Western industrialized coun­ tries. He stressed the need for job mobility incentives, on-the-job training and domestically produced skill­ ed workers. We can no longer rely on the wealth­ creating ability of the primary sector, must revitalize the manufac­ turing sector. Importing goods and technology is equivalent to exporting jobs. Lifetime exposure to education is vital, and the work experience is political- ly and psychologically im­ portant. Highly educated workers tend to displace less well educated workers in a tight labour market. Present concern about high unemployment should not mask the very real issue of labour shortages, both pre­ sent and anticipated. Mr. Novick spoke of the need to put aside traditional assumptions and equate needs to resources. Government’s role in the '80’s should be to give leadership for people to see choices. Urban planning should begin by including social objectives. “Elements of the social development strategy would include investing heavily in the capacity of families, communities, and the workplace to confer impor­ tant forms of developmental support to people . . . The role of Government can be to create the conditions and opportunities necessary for people to increase their care and support for each other in the course of daily life.” Mr. McLeod pointed out “The so-called ‘new’ im­ migration is not new. Between 1896 and 1914, three million immigrants were in­ vited to come here to build our railroads, dig our sewers and settle our land .. . 5000 East Indians lived in Canada by 1921. There are 70 languages or dialects spoken within one mile of Toronto’s City Hall.” We are the world in miniature, and we have a great opportunity to lead the way. The Ontario Human Rights Code is already out­ dated: fourteen months ago a full scale revision was presented to the Provincial Government. People say ‘‘you can’t legislate morality”; to some extent, we can. Interpreting “pre­ judice” as attitude, “discrimination” as action, he stressed the need to re­ joice in our diversity, to speak up, and quickly, about discrimination, to codify at­ titudes, and ensure equality of access to opportunity. Gail Newall stressed the importance of adjusting our traditional concept of the family. Statistics’ Canada’s, figures for 1974 show there were 305,520 one-parent families,. 85.5% of them headed by women. These families had 631,360 children of whom about one-quarter were under 6 years of age. Social welfare is vital as a means of preserving useful members of our society. Provisions for adequate child care are essential. The group discussed the need to avoid stereotyping people, pressures caused by rising costs of adequate housing, and the need for provision of improved services in the geriatric field.

Barn dance reunion , l v evening, September 23rd, 1978, beginning at 8:00 p.m. More than thirty of the original Barn Dance members will be on stage to entertain you with a show, followed by a dance. This is a rare treat for the many barn dance fans that once climbed in the family car and headed out every Saturday night to see their favorite performers on what was often known as Canada’s Largest Travelling Barn Dance. The time is drawing near when Huron County will be hosting the International Plowing Match near Wingham. Just so that everyone throughout the area is able to get in the spirit, a big at­ traction to be staged is the CKNX Barn Dance and Reunion and Broadcast, to be held in the new Grey, Morris and Brussels Com­ munity Complex, Saturday More projects Bob McKinley (MP Huron- Middlesex) has announced that in addition to the Canada Works projects announced on September two additional projects have been approved. The International Plowing Match Committee of Huron County has received a grant in the amount of $11,790.00 to assist in the clean up after the plowing match. The Town and Country Homemakers Home Help of Huron County has been awarded a grant in the amount of $33,683.00. ‘ Visitors to the 1978 Inter­ national Plowing Match near Wingham will drive through some of the most productive land in Canada. Prime examples are the farms of David and Jean Dinsmore at RR 1, Fordwich and Mr. and Mrs. Bradley Galbraith of RR 3, Wingham. They have been selected winners of the most improved farmstead and the most attractive farmstead in the 1978 farmstead and home improvement com­ petition. This annual event is sponsored by the local committee in the county which hosts the International Plowing Match. The Huron ‘78 committee had little trouble getting 130 entries in this year’s event. In addition to the categories mentioned, prizes were also available for most improved rural home, most improved urban home and best main­ tained rural or urban home. A two-man judging committee spent weeks driving throughout the coun­ ty, taking photographs for before and after com- parisions. Their choices were not easy to make as the enthusiasm of many en­ trants showed through in spruced-up properties. Prizes for the; event were all donated by -5’" concerned businesses and local govern­ ment. Main contributors in- cluded the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, United Co­ operatives of Ontario and nearly every township in the county. All entrants were guests at a • special banquet and dance September 6 at which the prize winners were an­ nounced. The Farmstead Improvement Competition really has no losers. All en­ trants were recognized by presentation of a special plaque bearing the Huron County crest. The results of the hard work put forth of entrants and others who have im­ proved their farms and homes without taking part in the competition, will remain to grace Huron County long after the 1978 International Plowing Match is just a pleasant memory. As you drive to Wingham September 26 to 30, look about the enjoy the results of the Farmstead improve­ ment competition.
