First of all, I would like to report on the visit to the Bruce-Grey area by members of the Ontario Federal .Caucus on May 30, 1977. Ns you know, three Cabinet Ministers visited the area - the Honourable Hugh Faulkner, Min- ister of Science and Technology, The Honourable J. J. Blais, Postmaster General and the Hon- ourable Eugene Whelan, Minister of Agriculture. Also two parli- amentary secretaries accompanied the Ministers. They were Jim Fleming, M.P. and Ross Milne, M.P. My wife and I accompanied many of the visitors to the Riding during the day. 1 /4 Mr. Faulkner met with citizens on the CFOS open line program at 9.00 a.m. Also he met business- men at lunchtime and then he toured the Bruce Nuclear Power Plant at Douglas Point before he had to return to Ottawa around 6.00 p.m. that evening to attend a committee hearing. Mr. Fleming spoke to school assemblies at Lion's Head and Wiarton and he also visited with business representatives in the Tpbermory area. He also saw much of the peninsula area. - Mr. Milne spoke at an assembly at the Grey Highlands Secondary School, visited the Bruce Nuclear Power Plant and also took in many other activities throughout the day. The Postmaster General, Jean- Jacques Blais, addressed school assemblies at Kincardine and Port Elgin, visited post offices in both centres and also Tiverton and toured the Bruce Nuclear Power Station. The Minister of Agriculture visited high schools in Chesley and Walkerton, met with Agricultural representatives of the Federations of Agriculture of Bruce, Huron and Grey Counties and he also visited one of the areas top beef operations as well. He also met with' the combined councils of Hanover ,and Walkerton to discuss matters of mutual concern. In the evening, following a private dinner at Dunkeld, the Ministers and Members took part in a public meeting at the Walkerton District Secondary School from 8 - 10 p.m. Following the meeting, the group travelled 'to Wiarton for the return flight to Ottawa, arriving in the capital about 1.30 a.m. it was a very busy and impressive visit to the area. This type • of visit brings the Federal Government close to the citizens for open and free dialogue between government and the people. I want to express my personal thanks to the residents of the Riding for the open reception that the travelling caucus received during the visit. It is my hope and desire to bring your Federal representatives to the Riding whenever possible to encourage this type of communication. I would also like to report briefly on a recent announcement made by tne Minister of Agriculture, on the creation of a national chicken broiler marketing agency. The decision by Cabinet was based on a recommendation for- warded to Mr. Whelan by the National ,Farm Products Marketing Council and on other expert advice provided the Minister. The Council last November conducted public hearings across Canada into the feasibility of establishing such an agency. The Cabinet approval means Mr. Whelan' can begin negotiations with the provinces and industry concerning the proposed agency's establishment. The creation- of a marketing Mrs. Ivan Wightman, RB 1, Belgrave, serving her' last term as president, presided for the 77th annual meeting of the Huron West District of the Women's Institute which was held Monday, May 30, at Wesiey Willis United Church, Clinton. She gave a report Of her year's work and thanked everyone for the co- operation she -had received dur- ing her term as president. Mrs. W. Colclough welcomed everyone to Clinton and Mrs. RiChard Buchanan, secretary- treasurer, read the minutes and correspondence. It was again agreed to sponsor a foster child, and each branch treasurer was', asked to forward .50 cents per member to Mrs. Buchanan as soon as possible. Mrs. Loralee Marshall ratified the district directors. , During the morning session, the Goderich Township branch entertained with a rendition of "The Quilting Party". During the afternoon, Mrs. Radford played a piano selection and a singsong was conducted by the Auburn branch. Mrs. William Porter, provin- cial board director, gave a report of provincial board meetings and announced that Miss Molly Mc- Ghee is replacing Miss Helen Mc- Kercher as director of the Home Economics Branch, Ministry of Apiculture and Food. It was recommended that the fees be raised to $2.00 per branch mem- ber next year as the FWIO fee is to be raised to $1.00. -- The week of June 6-10 is WI visitors' week at the Erland Leer i Home. Quilt blocks sent in by the branches will be on sale for $1.00 each. An appeal is being made to all branches across Ontario for a donation toward the Erland Lee Foundation Fund to be raised this year. The 80th anniversary of the WI will be celebrated at Bingeman Park, Kitchener, on July 13. There will be a hospitality booth at the Royal Winter Fair again and the WI is responsible for the furniture for the WI hall at the museum in Milton. Mrs. Porter, in her talk, also stressed the importance of a gift coupon from UNESCO which is used to•train women in their own country. Mrs. Marshall, Huron Home Economist, spoke or the work of the 89 4-H Homemaking Clubs in Huron and stressed that it is a great honor for all those involved in 4-H work, from the club mem- ber to leaders to parents. She stated that "4-H clubs are 64 years old, still growing and still achieving". The fall project will be "Featuring Fruit". The senior program for next year is "Per- sonalize, your Pattern" and should prove very interesting. Highlights from the officers' conference were given by dele- board for broilers would bring to three the number of national marketing agencies. There already exist such agencies for turkeys and eggs. I am pleased with the Cabinet decision and I hope that the formation of the broiler agency will proceed in the near future so that producers can enjoy orderly mark- eting and consumers a stea dy supply at reasonable prices. Finally, I would like to indicate that in the near future I will be sending out a news report to each householder and I hope that many will respond to it. gates who had attended and all reported a most interesting and informative three days with 511 women attending from all over Ontario.

A two-day tuberculosis detection clinic was held in the village when 2,189 persons were x-rayed.
