"I am pleased that the Ontario Sheep Marketing Agency has been supported by such a high percentage of voters. 1 encourage the agency to. continue to actively identify and ad- dress the needs of its producers and the Ontario sheep industry," Riddell said. As a result of the vote the agen- cy, operating under the,authority of ,nc Farm Products Marketing Act, will continue to represent Ontario's sheep, lamp awl wool producers. The referendum was held in re- sponse to a request from the Onta- rio sheep Marketing Agency earlier this year. The request reflected the 1984 recommendation of the Onta- rio Sheep Commission that the agency be established without an "expression of opinion"; from pro- ducers, but that they have the op- portunity to vote on continuation of the agency after a period of oper- ation. - A total of 1,529 producers cast valid ballots in the April 14 referen- dum.

Our projects last week were Carrot Loaf and Banana Cake. Everyone enjoyed sampling the Carrot Loaf. Last week our Baking for Bingo in the nursing home served Lemon Muffins. Residents and staff en- joyed sampling them. Rev. Rutledge of Emmanual Bap- tist Church conducted our weekly worship services. Thanks to the Woodwards and Mrs. Davidson for the lovely music. Get well to Art Wilkinson who is in hospital. Thought for the week: After the government takes enough to bal- ance the budget, the taxpayer has the job of budgeting the balance.

New AA book plays crucial role NEW YORK - The General Ser- vice Office of Alcoholics Anony- mous in New- York announces this month the Fiftieth Anniversary cel- ebration of the publication of its book "Alcoholics Anonymous." To date, more than seven million cop- • ics have been sold in the United States and thousands of translations in fifteen other languages have been purchased abroad. According to an A.A. staff mem- ber, this book has played a crucial role in the success and expansion of the A.A. program to its present world-wide prominence. It describes the hard-won principles which early members discovered could lead to sobriety, and which are the basis of the recovery of millions of alcohol- ics who otherwise would have been doomed to the physical and emo- tional toll that is exacted of the al- coholic by his or her illness. "Alcoholics Anonymous," or, as it is affectionately known by A.A.'s, the "big Book," has ap- peared in sixteen languages - Afri- kaans, Dutch, English, Finnish; Flemish, French; German, Iceland- ic, -Italian, Japanese, Korean, Nor- wegian, Polish, Portugese, Spanish and Swedish. It is ranked among the hard -cover, nonfiction best sellers in program of all time. It did not, however, have an aus- picious beginning. The A:.6. Fel- lowship numbered fewer than 100 members in 1938 when these pio- neers decided to write down their ex- periences in recovery from alcohol- ism. The first printing was• done on less than a shoestring and, for the next two years, the book attracted little• attention and few sales. The financial picture was stark' only loans from sympathetic friends kept the publishing venture alive. Then in March, 1941, following publica- tion of an•article on A.A. by Jack Alexander in the Saturday Evening Post, demand from desperate alco- holics put the sales on an accelerat- ing curve which has continued for fifty years. Originally priced at $3.50, the so-called "Big Book" retails today • for only $3.60, despitcskyrocket- ing book publishing costs. This is because it is published by a not-for- profit organization whose adminis- trative.costs are largely covered by contributions from A.A.'s more than one and three quarter million members. Copies may be obtained by writing A.A. World Services, Inc., Box 459, Gland Central Sta- tion, Ncw York, Ncw York 10163.
