The Brussels, Morris and Grey Community Pool was the scene of some comic antics last week, as members
of a team from Associated Canadian Travellers of London presented several demonstrations of what NOT
to do in handling small boats. The light approach brings home the message to the young swimmers the
team is attempting to educate in safety techniques. At right, BMG instructor Karla King watches as

Bilingualism stirs debate
at all-candidates meeting
Bilingualism proved one of the
hottest topics of debate when
candidates of all three parties in
theOntarioelection of Sept. lOtook
part in a debate sponsored by the
Huron County Federation of Agri
culture.
Nico Peters brought hearty
response from his supporters when
he declared, in answer to a
question from the floor, that he was
against bilingualism for Ontario.
He said that if Huron County Board
of Education had approved French
immersion classes for the county
schools he would have enrolled his
children in it but he did not agree
with having French “rammed
down people’s throats.’’
Paul Klopp for the NDP said he
didn't recall anybody trying to ram
anything down anybody’s throats.
He said he hadn’t been “mature
enough’’ when he was in grade
nine to decide to take French while
his friends in the separate school
system had had French all through
elementary school and now he
regretted his loss. “1 think we can
have French and English in this
province and get along,’’ he said.
Jack Riddell for the Liberals
quoted extensively from a Toronto
Star column that accused the
Progressive Conservatives of fear
mongering. David Peterson, he
said, was trying to bring people
together, not divide them. He
pointed out that Bill 8, the bill
extending French language rights
to government services, had been
approved unanimously by all three
parties and provided government
services in both languages where
numbers of French speaking peo
ple warranted it.
That brought a question from the
floor from Grant Sparling, Blyth
businessman, who asked why
Ontario should provide services in
both French and English when the
Quebec government prints it docu
ments only in French. He said his
company does thousands of dollars
of business with Quebec and can’t
understand the documents it gets
from the government. (Later
another member of the audience
stood up and offered to translate
the documents if Mr. Sparling
needed help.)
Mr. Riddell replied that he felt
the attitude was changing in
Quebec now that the Parti Que
becois was no longer in power.
When he was in Quebec for a
conference he said, people quickly
switched to English to accommo
date him when they found out how
poor his French was. This was a big
improvement since the PQ days
when people wouldn't speak En
glish, he said. He said he would be
surprised ifMr. Sparling didn’t
find things improving more yet
under the current Quebec govern
ment.
Mr. Peters got the last word in
the debate. He claimed the
Liberals were misleading people
equating Bill 8 with bilingualism
and said Bill 8 was fine but official
bilingualism was wrong.

mitted a proposal to the Board of
Health.
As well as Mr. Stirling, the
committee reviewing the propo
sals consisted of Betty Cardno,
executive director of the Huron
County Health Unit’s Home Care
Program, the county’s largest
purchaser of home care services,
and Bill Morley, provincial repre
sentative of the county health
board.
This committee made its re
commendation to the Board of
Health last Wednesday, and the
Board in turn will recommend the
continuing use of Town and
Country Homemakers to County
Council, when it meets next on
September 3.
Since the Board of Health is not a
committee of council, Mr. Stirling
says that making the recommen
dation to council is merely a
formality, but one that he feels is
important to a good working
relationship between the two
bodies.
“If you keep everyone informed
ofwhatyouare doing, everyone
benefits,’’ he said.
When the matter of inviting
submissions from home care pro
viders first came up at county
council in July, Exeter Reeve Bill
Mickle and Deputy-reeve Lossy
Fuller objected to what they
perceived as a duplication of
services, as well as to the idea of
inviting private firms to compete
with the non-profit Town and
Country.
However, County Warden Brian
McBurney said that there is a
growing demand for home care
services within the county, and
that all proposals should be
considered in the interests of
providing the best possible service
to county residents. Whether the
service was publicly or privately
funded was irrelevant, he said,
since any Huron County resident
requiring care would be granted a
subsidy to pay for it, if one were
needed.
At press time, Jean Young,
executive director of Town and
Country Homemakers, could not
be reached for comment on the
continuing demand for her organ-
ization’s services within the
county.
