Agriculture James Armstrong of the Huron County Federation of Agriculture was present at the meeting to dis- cuss the Federation's plans for the next year and give council an update on the group's status along with their view on specific .farm topics. He also reported on the membership of the federation within the town- ship. Council wanted to know -whether township donations are spent on projects entirely within the town- ship, and Mr, Armstrong_ replied that all funds arc sent to the county organization where they are spent mainly on postage and telephone charges throughout the entire coun- ty. Armstrong also fielded questions on membership, free trade and the farm tax rebate. i Page 2 Times -Advocate, February 10, 1988 Stephanie Hazelwood, Miss Woodham Store, RR 6 St. Mar- ys,16.

I would like to congratulate the Wingham Business Association on their unanimous decision against. Sunday Shopping. It is very impor- tant and.urgent that we at the grass roots notify our M.P.P. as well as Premier David Peterson of our stand. on this issue. Since attending the organizational - meeting of the Coalition Against Open Sunday Shopping (CAOSS or pronounced chaos) I have some facts i would like to share with everyone. Support was evident from all ma- jor church denominations, many Bnsincss'-Assoeiations -retail-and wholesale associations; trade un- ions; large companies such as Tow- ers, Loblaws, Scars, Home Hard- wares and small businesses as well. There is also support for this from . the Conservative and N.D.P. M.P.P.'s as well as some promi- nent Liberal M.P.P.'s. Dayid Peterson's poll in 1987 showed that 71 percent of those polled want a uniform law across Ontario. Some facts about open Sunday Shopping arc: 1. It will be less convenient be • - cause stores will close earlier in the evenings so they can remain open on Sundays. Some people will have to shop on Sundays whether they want to or not. Iiams says, "There is no need to dress up. Join our worship service in casual attire." - The weatherman seems to be co- operating to provide lots of snow for Saturday's novelty events and mixed sno-pitch tournament as well as Sunday's snowmobile, car and cross country ski poker rallies. The Wintcr Carnival club was organized in 1970 and the purpose was to provide assistance to Kirk - ton -Woodham Boy Scout and Girl Guide groups and provide funds for capital expenditures on various community projects. Brian Hardeman is the carnival chairman and he says, " Sounds like a good weekend to be in Kirk - ton. Come and have a good time." Sunday shopping 2. Sunday shopping will mean a Brice increase of up to 15 percent to cover extra costsof labour, overhead and depreciation: . - 3. Sunday shopping means no common pause day for thousands of families and the destruction of their quality of life. - 4. The ripple effect of Sunday shopping will impact on 1/3 of the entire work force, such- as Police, Public Transportation, Service In- dustries, Day Care Centres and Teachers. 5. Full-time staff will be reduced in favour of part-timers who are paE ss and require fewer benefits.

The CAOSS needs the support of all local Business Associations and local organizations interested in this effort. I can provide your organiza- tion or Business Association with a form to register with the CAOSS. They need to know by February 18, 1988. I would like to urge everyone to write to the M.P.P.,-Premier David Peterson, Solicitor General Joan Smith or Attourney General Ian Scott, all at Queen's Park, Toronto, Ont..asking them to reconsider their Seven fines levied under Traffic Act A variety of charges under the Highway Traffic Act were dealt with by J.P, Doug Wedlakc on February 2.
