In addition Mr. Nixon said procedures of the Ontario La- bour Relations Board should be speeded up and legislation in- troduced to abolish the use of ex-parte injunctions in labour disputes. Expropriation procedures should be amended, he said, to do away with haggling between government agencies and land- owners. He went on to say that the problems of farm income are still plaguing us and con- tinue to be the most important farm problem facing us today. Next came Donald Mac- Donald, leader of the New Democratic Party. Mr. Mac- Donald dealt at some length with the downfall of Prudential Finance Corporation. He said the Government's failure to en- force its own orders to Pruden- tial-Finance Corporation allow- ed the company to defraud many small investors. Mr. MacDonald charged that Prudential ignored orders from the Ontario Securities Commis- sion, first to stop selling notes to the public and then to stop selling them to its own note- holders. Attorney General Ar- thur Wishart, he noted, had said the Government could not act against Prudential until last November because it was not aware of any law being broken. Premier Roberts defended his invitation to call a conference on Confederation. ATTEND MEETING BLUEVALE—Mrs. Harry El- liott, librarian, Miss Emma Johnston, Mrs. George Hether- ington, Mrs. Jim Johnston, Mrs. Carl Johnston and Mrs. W. J.

The meeting, lie said, would provide an opportunity for a re. laxed diagnosis of Canada's ills in which the levels of govern- ment could work out their own interests and the interests of the country in advance of any for- mal agreements. Ontario played an important role in Confederation in 1867 and we are anxious to play that same part again, free of the bias or procedure of the exist- ing system of federal-provincial conferences or even of the in- ter-provincial conferences, the Premier stated. Ground Hog Day WHITECHURCH—Thursday of last week was Ground flog Day and in our community the ground hog could see his shadow which means winter stays for six more weeks, Since this is centennial year we thought about how the old- timers would wait for Ground Hog Day. They would be glad to think that winter was half ov er for the winters curtailed the activities of the pioneers. A storm often lasted for three or four days and when it had blown itself out the pumps would be covered and roads would be drifted in from one rail fence to another. There were no powerful snowplows. Men with shovels, sleighs and horses set out to op- en the roads. Horses often had to be taken singly through the drifts before they could be driv- en as a team attached to a sleigh. A horse could only stand so much wading through snowbanks and it took days to open the back roads. Donnybrook On Monday afternoon Mrs. Stuart Chamney had a few la- dies in for a quilting for the U.C.

SPACE MAN VISITS BELGRAVE On January 30 at 7 p.m. l3e1- grave had one of the most ex- citing experiences in its history. All of a sudden the sky became bright as daylight. Space ships were surrounding Amos' Gener- al Store. Were they going to get something to eat or were they going to invade? This is what the Belgrave people were wondering. These creatures were green, about three feet high with six legs, nine arms and seven fin- gers on each hand. They had bulging eyes that were able to turn corners and had rear view mirrors attached.

A, WILLIAMS, O.D. optometrist 9 PATRICK STREET W. WINGHAM Phone 357-1282 itY MURRAY GAUNT, M.P,P, HURON41RUCE Report from Queen's Park TWIN CALVES are not an uncommon thing on area farms, as Albert Bieman of East Wawanosh will tell you, his cows have pro- duced a set of calves for the past three or four years. But when two cows on the same farm, both produce twin calves within days of each other, this is a little unusual. The two cows, purchased by Mr. Bieman on the same day, have also each had two single calves in the past. Needless to say, the two sets of twins are getting a little extra attention from the Bieman family. —Advance-Times Photo Mrs. Ronald Coultes and Mrs. Lloyd Montgomery visited with Mrs. George Coultes at Huronview on Saturday after- noon.
