Mrs. Margaret Bennett of
Wingham -became the first
woman president of the Huron
Progressive Conservative As-
sociation on Wednesday evening.
Mrs. Bennett accepts the leader-
ship of the Federal riding as-
sociation at a particularly im-
portant time in the history of that
organization. The constituency
has been representedin the
House of Commons for the past 12
years by Robert McKinley of
Zurich, and his private member's
bill, changing the name of the
riding, is expected to be passed
by .the Commons in June. Until
redistribution a few months ago
Mr. McKinley's riding was
known as Huron -Middlesex be-
cause the townships of Biddulph
and McGillivray were included.
The latest shuffle has lopped off
the two Middlesex townships and
has added the four southern
townships and four towns in
Bruce County. Mr. McKinley's
bill will change the name of the
constituency to Huron -Bruce.

Carbert Is Speaker
Bob Carbert, director of the
recently -formed, Ontario Agricul-
tu'ra1-1Vluseum, and a former resi-
dent of Wingham, was the guest
speaker, for the evening and was
introduced by William Stewart,
former minister of agriculture
for the province. Mr., Stewart
said he was "delighted" at the
opportunity to introduce Mr. Car-
bert, a man with whom he had
worked closely for many years.
He- recalled Mr. Carbert's ex-
perience in agricultural affairs
from his boyhood on a Perth
County farm, to his time as farm
editor for CKNX in Wingham.

Later he served with the Cana'
d►an Federation of Agriculture,
the Ontario Federation, the CBC
and in 1968 became Mr. Stewart's
executive assistant in the Ontario
Ministry of Agriculture and
Food, which post he held until his
appointment as director of the
agricultural museum.
Mr: Carbert's addressproved
to be a thoughtful analysis of the
role of our elected representa-
tives and the often .unreasonable
demands made upon them by the
voters of the province and the
nation. He said there must be a
proper balance between the re-
sponsibility of the elected perspns
to their voters' demands and the
amount of time and energy those
members devote, to the function-
ing of good government. "We
elect our members to govern."
said the speaker, "not just to
lobby for us."
"We pay our elected members
disgraceful wages and at the
same time make outrageous de-
mands upon them," said Mr.
Carbert. He compared the sti-
pends of members of the Legis-
lature and the Commons with the
much higher salaries paid to
leaders of business and industry.
In some detail he described the
sacrifice of personal freedoms,
family life, and any time for
relaxation which is the lot of
elected persons, particularly
those who are prepared to
assume higher office in cabinet.
The speaker also denied the
frequent rumors that civil ser-
vants as a class are lazy, non-
productive and greedy. He said
that he has been associated with
government. employees at all
levels for 20 years and invariably
found them hard-working and
dedicated. He added that civil
servants cannotdefend thella-
selves from slander, since few
are empowered to act as Spokes-
mento the general public.
The size and scope of the civil
service body, said Mr. Carbert, is
determined by the number and
size of the programs demanded of
government by we, the voters.
In conclusion the speaker said,
"We get the kind of government
we deserve."
Lively Entertainment
During and following the " di-
ner Vince Mountford .of Bramp-
ton led in some lively sing -songs
and provided a fast -paced patter
of jokes and humor. The Town
and Country Four from the Sea -
forth area pleased the audience
with several selections in close
quartet harmony.
Fred Heaman of McGillivray, a.
past president of the former
Huron -Middlesex riding, acted as
chairman for the gathering and
introduced the dignitaries at the
head table and scattered
throughout the audience. Before
the meeting concluded Mr. Hea-
man read the new.constitution for
the riding association.
Mrs. Bennett expressed her ap-
preciation of the honor bestowed
upon her and asked for the full co-
operation of all members to make
r the new riding of Huron -Bruce a
vital and effective organization.
Bob McKinley, MP, tendered
his appreciation to the many per-
sons who had been involved in the
Planning and preparation for the
meeting and said he expected
that legislation to re -name the
riding will be passed within a few
weeks.
