Shorthorn speaker discusses private members bill "Sometimes I think everything is measured in dollars and cents now." He went on to urge everyone to speak to their elected officials about issues.

He discussed some of the changes, actual and potential, occurring in rural communities. He is flanked by club president Carl Bolton, left, and Ross Procter. (David Blaney photo) By David Blaney Citizen staff The Perth Huron Shorthorn Club held its annual dinner meeting on Wednesday might at The Brussels Legion. In attendance were special guests Wayne Murrell, president of the Ontario Shorthorn Club and Ross Procter the co-chairman of the 10th Shorthorn World Conference, which is to be held in Canada in 2002. The speaker for the evening was Neil McGavin of McGavin's Farm Machinery in Walton. He spoke about a private members bill in the Ontario legislature which would prohibit main line farm equip- ment manufacturers from dictating what equipment a dealer could sell.

He has even been forced, on occassion, to change man- ufacturers. He went on to briefly mention the financial difficulties currently being dealt with by the Ottawa- Carelton Plowman's Association. The associ- ation suffered a huge deficit while hosting the latest International Plowing Match and are currently moving forward with an ambitious fundraising plan to retire their debt.

McGavin saved the main part of his remarks for some obviously heartfelt observations linking the threat of school closing with the gen- eral lack of respect he sees accorded rural Ontario by the provincial gov- ernment. He noted that churches, schools, corner stores and post offices used to make up rural communities. He wondered if it was the fate of the schools to follow the post office and corner store into obscurity. McGavin said that many people were able to get a start in small schools because they were able to take responsibility and gain confi- dence doing things that they might have missed in a larger school. He said, "Larger schools don't mean more opportunity to shine." He also wondered if the school community was as strong in a large school. McGavin asked, "Do we lose that sense of volunteerism when we get big schools?" McGavin wondered about deci- sions for the area being made by people from Toronto and said,
