The Wingham Advance-Times, 1984-10-24, Page 14and -Canada have been best when we had a Democratic administration in the White House and a Liberal in 24 Sussex Drive. It will be in- teresting to see whether a Republican administration in Washington and a Progressive Conservative government in Canada produce the same kind of bonhomie. I'm not counting on it. For one thing, it hasn't been tried in recent memory. Unless my history. fails me, the last time nominal con- servatives were in power in both countries simultaneous- ly was during the Eisen- hower-Diefenbaker period, and before that, Hoover - Bennett, I don't recall that all U.S.- Canadian differences vanished in those periods, al- though I'm told that Mr. Diefenbaker and General Eisenhower were more than civil to each other. But it seems to me than President Reagan and Prime Minister Mulroney have more pro- blems to solve than can reasonably be taken care of, by large doses of inherited blarney. Despite all the talk of freer trade, we are still different countries. The . common border may be undefended, but it still stands for some- thing. No two people are closer, perhaps, than Amer- icans and Canadians, but our collective thinking is still quite different on a number of pretty serious matters. 1 don't think there is any doubt that Brian Mulroney will be able to establish a closer personal relationship with Ronald Reagan than Pierre Trudeau ever could. But even if they become good friends, they're going to find that there is hell of a lot t4 argue about.

Yours truly, (Mrs.) Grace Lack Roving feeding better for pregnant cows What's the best time to ' feed Pregnant cows? For three years scientists stud- ied over 800• heifers of all breeds daring the entire calving season. Half were fed between 8 and 9 a.m. and 'half between 8 and p.m. Those fed in the evening had 17, percent more day- time births than the others. Daytime births make it easi- er for pregnant cows to get assistance from farm or ranch hands in case of hard deliveries. S.

We were hoping to be able to report that our prisoner, Ruth Desta was released. Unfortunately in the general amnesty that -the Ethiopian Government granted in mid September, Ruth was not in- cluded. Our Group will have to work harder than ever now to try to procure her freedom. Publication of Amnesty work does help us spread the word about our endeavours an we are thankful to you our help. This week happens to be Prisoner of Conscience week using the theme "Women. Silenced". Group 80 has a 'prison' located on Main STreet in Palmerston where local prominent women and Group members are taking turns being imprisoned: This is ,just one more effort to heighten public awareness of people around the world who do not enjoy freedom of speech such as we do in Can- ada.

But the suggestion that a common Irish background is a firm foundation for friend- ship is like saying that two barrack -room lawyers are likely to make great drinking buddies. I wouldn't bet on it.
