GODERICH SIGNAL STAR THURSDA14 APRII 21 1977—PAGE11 dent for first Carbert Is Speaker Bob Carbert, director of the recently -formed Ontario Agricul- tural Museum, and a former resp: 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- dian 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 address proved 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 persons o their voters' demands and the amount of time and energy those members devote to the function - ng of good government. "We lett our members to govern," aid "the speaker, "not just to obby for us." "We pay our elected members isgracefui wages and at the ame time make•outrageous de - ands upon them," said Mr. arbert. He compared the sti- ends of members of the Legis- ature and the Commons with the uch higher salaries paid to aders of business and industry. n some detail he described the acrifice of personal freedoms mily life, and any time for Taxation which is the lot of ected persons, particularly ose who are prepared to sume higher office in cabinet. The speaker also denied the equent rumors that civil ser- nts as a class are lazy, non- oductive and greedy. He said at he has been associated with vernment employees at all vels for 20 years and invariably and them hard-worlgng and dicated. He added that civil rvants cannot defend them- ves from slander, since few e empowered to act as spokes - n to the general public. e s l d s m C p 1 m le s fa re el th as fr va pr th go le fo de se sel ar me JAI E 1 RACING JULY 1, 1977 2:00 P.M.
