supposed experts cannot find agreement
on *temper and most effective means Of
reducing the inflation which is the root
cause of these murderous Interest rates.
Nor are the young homeowners the only
class of Canadians who are threatened by
the high cost of borrowing money. The
farm organizations are speaking out
4' about the danger to their farm business
operations posed by high interest. Busi-
ness of all kinds is similarly threatened
and its effect across the nation Is being
telt in the increasing number of bankrupt-
cies and consequent loss of lobs. •
However, the case of the homeowners
is particularly distressing, for up to the
present they have not benefitted from any
united voice which could plead their case.
Proposal 89 may provide that means of
expression.

Minor Hockey needs
support from parents
Dear Editor,
This is a letter directed to
the parents of boys in the
Wingham Minor Hockey
syetem. There are about 150
boys registered and if the
price of hockey registration
goes up drastically next year
the parents will be com-
plaining. I can just -hear them
now.
This past weekend the
executive of Minor Hockey
held a dance to help defray the
operating costs of the young
boys' seort. The poor 'showing
of supporters certainly made
the few fellows who worked so
hard feel annoyed.
There were about 50 couples
there, but only about half were
hockey parents.' The
remainder were just really
great folk l who ,s4pOrt the
community and know it takes
money to make a good hockey
program.
I know for a fact there were
a good 'dozen couples. who
bought tickets at: 510 each
knowing full well it was not
• possible to attend, but they
still supported the cease.
The Ladies' Aintilisky to
Minor Hockey supplied a
great buffet, but had to sell the
leftovers to meet the costs.
Guess who had to buy. You're
right, the same few. These
ladies worked hard to suppod

THE MUSIC MAKERS by
E. V. Thompson
This novel is set in Ireland
during ate potato famines of
the 1840s. It tells of the cot -
tiers, the impoverished
peasants with huge families
whose very survival depended
upon the potato. It tells of the
fishermen with their curraghs
and wooden boats who helped
to keep some of the cottiers
alive. Amidst the chaos
caused by the famines and by
his personal predicaments,
Liam McCabe seeks to relieve
the agonies of Ireland both on
the spot as a man of action and
as an Irish MP, a man of
words.

THE BLACK ROLE by

certainly was he who put
Wingham on the map.
A park planted with trees,
shrubs and flowers it seenis to
me is a necessity in the centre
•of the town; nothing would be
more fitting to the memory of
this noteworthy native son.
Let the town forget the
almighty dollar for once. The
radio and TV station areheard
and viewed for miles. Surely
the founder is worthy of the
whole park, not just a corner
of it. The businessmen would
benefit from it as a picnic
centre and I am sure this note-
worthy family would ap-
preciate this more than a
cluster of buildings.

Need -training courses
for industrial wOikers
There is a shortage of
qualified industrial workers in
Huron County and the
educational system shOuld
consider new programs to
make up the deficit, the Huron
County Board of Education
was told Monday.
Representatives of a new
industrial committee told the
board industry is having
trouble finding skilled
workers. The committee,
formed in January, comprises
industrial representatives,
Canada Manpower staff,
community college personnel
and a representative from the
board of education.
Don Longwell, from
Champion Road Machinery
Ltd. of Goderich, told board
trustees the committee plans
to survey 120 industries in the
county to identify areas of
worker shortage. The study is
expected to take about three
months and should provide an
accurate forecast of the
situation for the next • three
years, he said.
Following the meeting he
said the committee already
knows of a scarcity of
maintenance mechanics,
heavy equipment mechanics,
tool and die makers and
persons trained in Use of
fibreglass.
He said in the past in-
dustries have had to send
employees out of the county to
attend training schools, or
import workers to fill job
vacancies. Once needs are
pinpointed, the committee will
try,.. to set Op trai
Programa locally. "

Temper your enthusiasm
with caution when you take to
the road on a bicycle, advises
the Industrial Accident Pre-
vention Association (IAPA) of
Ontario. Know the rules.
Observe traffic laws and sig-
nals. Ride in the same direc-
tion as traffic. Avoid busy in-
texsections. If you can't, walk
your bicycle across them and
at left-hand corners. Wear leg
clips or bands. Make sure you
can be seen by drivers at
night. Put retroreflective trim
on clothing or wear reflective
light-colored clothing and
equip your bicycle with a
light. , Remember you're
