. uprisings. It sets province against province and
brother against sister. It makes politicians
forget the taxpayers who elected them and it br-
ings strikes and labor lamest. .
In the young, greed fosters hatred for authori-
ty. In the old, it robs men and women of peace in
their final hours.
Some people set out to get everything they
want,•but they fail to think of all the throngs they
don't get that they don't want. That's greed at its
worst - and it's the third plague. _
Gluttony usually applies to over -eating .arid
over -drinking and it isn't difficult to seethe
mountain of problems this fourth plague brings
on people. _
How much 'illness and subsequent expense
could tae avoided by simply eating well-balanced
meals in moderation? How much sickness and
death could be eliminated by learning to control
our appetite for liquid stimulants?
But what about the other 'forms of gluttony?
The over -indulgence of human sexuality, drug -
abuse, violence, gossip, work? Lumped together,
all forms of gluttony are the fourth plague.
Apathy and lethargy work in tandem to
become the fifth, final and most fatal plague of
all. They are similar yet unalike.
Apathy is indifference. Lethargy is slug-
gishness. We see it everywhere.
But mostly we see it in ourselves growing in-
difference to the mess around us. And less and
less desire every year to do anything about it -
even in ,the`' small cirlce in which we live and
work and play.
It really would be better if we tried to do
something and failed, than to be as we are and do
nothing and succeed.
But our insensitivity and our dullness consume
us as the fifth plague destroys our world for this
generation and those to come.
But I'm convinced that tried and proven
organizations such as the Women's Institute will
help us find a way out of our dilemma.
The Women's Institute has never side-stepped
the needs of Canadian families. That's what you
are all about. Home. Country. Municipality.
Healthy, happy living.
This organization could fight the five plagues
more effectively than most. You are in the most
• advantageous position ofaall - with the necessary
system already in place to educate people all
over the country about how to survive the five
plagues and even become immune to them.
A successful doctor is one who can keep his pa-
tients alive long enough for nature to, heal them.
The Women's Institute could begin' immediately
to keep people alive by training them to cope
with today's stresses and to step up the produc-
tion of courses that would develop some protec-
tion
against the problems that confront people to-
day.
You could teach people to use money to their
benefit...either too little money or too much
money.
I've always wondered why the schools of this
province haven't taken a greater interest in in-
structing students not only how to earn money,
but how to spend it wisely. The misuse of money
has to be one of the nation's biggest problems -
yet we continue . to teach embroidery' and
redecorating, painting and music.
You could give courses on niter -personal rely&
tionships - learning about the emotional needs of
the people we love and those we come in contact
with most frequently and finding out how to -meet
those needs.:. •-
We might be "surprised to discover, jliM how
.much better we would feel about,ourselves if we
cared moreabout the little things that Make peo-
ple happy and content - a friendly srnife, a warm
touch, a tender word, a sincere compliment.
You could give instruction on . alternate
lifestyles that bring deep down and lasting hap-
. pfness - things such as sharing your time with
others less fortunate than yourself; things like
using God's freebees of fresh air and sunshine,
soft rain and moonlight, warm wind and black
fertile soilto enrich our lives; things like giving a
full day's work, for a full day's pay to make
yourself feel good about you; things like living
life to the fullest where you are with what you
have and using those gifts properly to satisfy
your desires. • •
I know the things I suggest seem like high and.
inIghty ideals: But they aren't really.: They are
the things most of us learn through years of ex-
perience.. They are the kinds of lessons we
master too late to be of much use to us when we
need them most - today. •
But if this organization is to survive another 80
years, its members are going tohave to try -some
new things. .
Your leaders will be setting new goals for this
organization for the next decade - even the next
century. I'm here today to urge you to Set those
goals high.
A mountain shames a molehill until they are
both humbled by the stars.
Reach for the stars ladies.
There will be those who will criticize. But don'tworry about criticism. '
If it is untrue, disregard it; if it is unfair, don't
let it irritate you; if it is ignorant, smile; iritis
justified, learn from it. .

Focus of newspapers is community
The focus is on "communi-
ty" as the Ontario Weekly
Newspapers Association of-
ficially adopts the new name
.Ontario Community
Newspapers Association.
President David Wenger
on behalf of the, Board of
Directors of the . Ontario
Weekly Newspapers
Association, was extremely
pleased: to receive the -sup-
plementary letters patent
from the Lieutenant Gover-
nor of Ontario,- .The
Honourable John B. Aird,
thus changing the name of
the trade association to the
Ontario .Community
Newspapers Association.
The word `community'
was chosen to better reflect
the publishing practices of
"local" newspapers, yet still
retain the personal touch for
which they have become
known.
To qualify as a community
newspaper, the paper must
publish not less than 'two
issues per month or more
than three issues per week,
provide for the expression of
opinion by members of the
public, contain news of
general interest concerning
current happenings and
passing events of a political,
social, religious,commer-
cial, financial or legal nature,
as well as other
miscellaneous material in-
cluding legal notices and an-
nouncements, all in addition
to advertisement's.
Membership is also open
to college and university
newspapers, printing plant
operations producing
member papers, plus some
honoured members of the in-
dustry who continue to be af-
filiated with the association.
- This year, OCNA member
newspapers, with the sup-
port of CP Air, inaugurated a
public recognition program
to, acknowledge the ac-
complishments of the youth
of Ontario. Announced at the
association's convention in
,March, the Lieutenant
Governor will be presenting
the first of the prestigious
Junior Citizen of the Year
Awards at the 1982 conven-
tion.
Although active in many
areas, the association places..
emphasis on its continuing
education programs, often in
conjunction with educational
institutions throughout the
province.
Directly through its own
efforts, and indirectly • by
financially supporting the
national association, OCNA
continues to advise regional
and national advertisers of
the various sectors address-
ed by the . community
newspaper, which will assist
them in reaching this .au-.
dience.
The industry, through the
association, expresses a con-
tinuing belief that the role of
the community newspaper is
toprovide, an accurate
reflection of the community
in which they serve, and,
strives to reinforce the
democratic process by
presenting a well balanced
view of the " social air i
political • scene , that is of in-
terest, to the residents of
their community.
OCNA offers its members
two complete awards pro-
grams to recognize ex-
cellence in newspapering
throughout Ontario, and in
co-operation with the na-
tional body, an awards pro-
gram for community
newspapers across Canada.
Ontario papers have always
fared well in national judg-
ing, bringing home trophies
for such categories as Best
All Round, Best Front Page,
Best Editorial Page in tab
and. broadsheet. Awards are
also bestowed • for the Best
Advertising Idea,
Outstanding. Columnist, Best

munity., Service, Best Spot

GODERICH SIGNAI,•STAR, WEDNESDAY,.JULY 1, 1981—PAGE 5
WALKERTON - Despite
Southampton's pitch, Bruce
County's seat will remain in
Walkerton.
Bruce County Council
recently decided to leave the
headquarters in Walkerton,
and purchase larger
facilities to house the county
offices there.
Overcrowding in some
county departments forced
council to"look at the future
of the county seat; and three
delegations ' from
Southampton came -to
council, saying their town
was the more logical site for
the- centre since the
population trend in Bruce
County is toward the
Lakeshore. Southampton also
offered tg donate serviced
land for the county buildings.
However, county council
ageed in closed, behind the
scenemeeeting, to build' in
Walkerton and plans will
now begin to erect a new two-
storey administration office.
Construction is to start in
November
